Chapter 510 Lan Ying
Chapter 510 Lan Ying
"Hahaha! Girl, you have good eyesight!"
A hearty laugh came from behind.
Su Jiuyue and Lin Qingqing both looked back.
A middle-aged man, about thirty-four or thirty-five, dressed like a shopkeeper, strode over with a waiter.
Qin Ruoyi saw the person coming and waved to say hello.
"Manager Liu, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you done with your family affairs?"
"Haha, thank you Miss Qin for your concern. I have already taken care of it."
"I heard about what happened at the door as soon as I came back. Miss Qin, we can't afford to offend the Lu family. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality..."
Shopkeeper Liu greeted Miss Qin with a very polite attitude.
"This time, Miss Lu was generous, so I won't argue with her. Next time Miss Qin comes to our store, I will definitely give her a satisfactory price, hahahaha."
Su Jiuyue looked at the man.
He is calm and composed, greets people with a smile, and knows how to maintain customer relationships.
A good shopkeeper!
Qin Ruoyi didn't even bother to greet people.
"Manager Liu, these are the friends I just met."
"Sister Yue'er, Qingqing, this is the head shopkeeper of Sihaiyuan Restaurant, Liu Yuexing."
I wasn't particularly familiar with Su Jiuyue and the others, but we felt like we had known each other for a long time from the first sight.
Qin Ruoyi only gave a brief self-introduction.
Su Jiuyue and Lin Qingqing bowed politely.
"Manager Liu, you are polite."
Shopkeeper Liu also clasped his hands and bowed.
"Hahaha! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
"I have heard about the young lady's heroic act at the door of the store just now."
"Shuxishan solved the math problem that even Mr. Qi couldn't solve."
"I wrote a poem in four steps, and it is a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!"
"It is a great honor for a talented person like you to visit our shop! Hahaha!"
Shopkeeper Liu flattered Su Jiuyue a lot.
Lin Qingqing's face turned red from the praise.
Qin Ruoyi covered her mouth and laughed.
"Oh, you're still shy! Come on, let's talk while we eat."
"Manager Liu, since someone is treating us, please serve all the special dishes. Stop teasing Sister Yue'er here."
Qin Ruoyi smiled and took Lin Qingqing with one hand and Su Jiuyue with the other, and chose a seat by the window to sit down.
Li and Guan Ruoyu also took their seats one after another.
Guan Ruoyu's gaze continued to fall on the potted plants.
Lin Qingqing felt itchy when she thought about what she had not finished saying just now.
"Sister Qin, Yueyue just said there were bugs in that potted plant. Is that true? Is that true?"
"How can insects be as beautiful as flowers?"
Su Jiuyue was also waiting for Qin Ruoyi to speak with great interest.
Qin Ruoyi's eyes lit up!
“When I first heard about it, I also thought it was amazing!”
"Yes, yes!"
"Tell me about it!"
Lin Qingqing urged him to speak, pretending to be listening attentively.
Qin Ruoyi covered her lips and chuckled.
"This is a new variety that Manager Liu brought from the snowy mountains. It has a secret."
"It's just a green plant, nothing special about it. What's strange is that this bug can only reproduce in this green plant."
"Moreover, it will never leave for the entire life. A green plant is their entire life."
"If the insects become extinct, the green plants will also wither."
"The two are born together, and are called Lan Ying."
Lin Qingqing listened attentively, as if intoxicated by this beautiful story.
Su Jiuyue held her chin.
"So it's freezing cold because it comes from the snowy mountains?"
Qin Ruoyi nodded.
"Lan Ying can emit an extremely cold aura. Shopkeeper Liu uses this to make the temperature of Si Hai Yuan so cool!"
"Although Lan Ying is an insect, she is extremely beautiful, like a bunch of gorgeous blue flowers. Looking at her makes me feel happy."
"I just think that Manager Liu must have put a lot of thought into running Sihaiyuan so well!"
Lin Qingqing nodded affirmatively!
"It is not only beautiful and elegant, but also functional. Manager Liu is really thoughtful."
"Lan Ying, this name sounds nice."
Guan Ruoyu chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Looking at the pots of blue water, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing his abnormal attitude, Su Jiuyue was confused.
"Brother Guan? What's wrong?"
Guan Ruoyu put down the folding fan in his hand, glanced at Qin Ruoyi, and his expression returned to his usual easy-going self.
"No, I just think the name Lan Ying is very nice."
The companion green plant from the snow-capped mountains, Lan Ying, huh...
Guan Ruoyu said no more.
Su Jiuyue didn't ask any more questions.
With Qin Ruoyi as a guide, Su Jiuyue naturally had to ask her about the customs and culture of Xiangshan!
While they were chatting, the waiter came over with plates of signature dishes.
After smelling the fragrance, Qin Ruoyi lost interest in continuing.
She knew it, and it was almost finished anyway.
I swallowed my saliva and waited eagerly for the food to be served!
"Sorry for the long wait, sir. Please enjoy your meal!"
The waiter ordered the dishes to be placed on the table.
In the kitchen, Shopkeeper Liu had a gloomy look on his face, which was very different from his previous cheerful and talkative appearance.
"Did you add the stuff in as instructed?"
He looked at the chef coldly and asked.
The chef hunched over, his body sinking slightly.
"Your Excellency, every dish has been put in, please rest assured."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Manager Liu curled the corners of his mouth.
His eyes were cold.
"If you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell to break in."
"You guys insisted on entering this door, so don't blame me for being cruel!"
"Ms. Qin is the beloved daughter of Qin Yufu. She has been ordered by her superiors not to move for the time being."
"Others, after they are infected... eh?"
Shopkeeper Liu made a gesture of wiping his neck towards him.
The chef understood.
"It will be handled neatly."
Shopkeeper Liu patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't make it difficult for me. If we do a good job, we will definitely benefit from it."
After saying that, he turned around, put on a naive smile, and walked out!
No wonder Qin Ruoyi can’t stop thinking about Sihaiyuan’s dishes!
Su Jiuyue smelled the fragrance of the food and her appetite was aroused!
She had been here for so long, and for the first time she felt that the food here could be so delicious!
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Lin Qingqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and praised.
"As expected of the No. 1 restaurant in Qingxi County, this move is so extraordinary."
Li couldn't help but praise.
Although Su Jiuyue didn't say anything, one could see that her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was very satisfied.
Look at Guan Ruoyu.
"Brother Guan, what do you think?"
"The dish is delicious. To be so tempting, I guess it must have been made with plenty of ingredients and a lot of thought."
Guan Ruoyu smiled faintly and praised.
He took out a light blue porcelain bottle from his arms.
"But, even though it tastes good, you can't be greedy. It's not good to eat too much."
When he said this, Guan Ruoyu glanced at Lin Qingqing in particular.
Lin Qingqing stuck out her tongue.
"Humph! You just want to talk about the last time I ate too much and cried with my hands on my stomach! It's been so long!"
Lin Qingqing blushed and gave Guan Ruoyu a cold look.
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Guan Ruoyu also opened the porcelain bottle in his hand with a smile.
"I'm not making fun of you. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't expect you to listen. I have some digestive pills here. You can take one first, so you don't end up like Miss Lin."
Guan Ruoyu distributed the digestive pills one by one.
Lin Qingqing threw it into her mouth without thinking.
"Today's digestive pills are extra sweet! The digestive pills that Brother Guan gave me last time were so sour that they made my teeth ache!"
"Brother Guan, did you secretly change the recipe?"
Lin Qingqing commented as she chewed.
Guan Ruoyu rolled his eyes at her.
"What if I don't change it? It's too sour and you can't eat it."
The tone was helpless, but also a bit doting like that of a younger sister.
Qin Ruoyi watched their interaction and felt envious.
She was the only child of her father, and the home was quiet and lonely, so no one would tease or play with her like this.
Lin Qingqing saw that everyone else had taken the digestive pills, but she was the only one who was hesitant to take Qin Ruoyi's digestive pills.
I thought she had concerns.
He blinked at Qin Ruoyi with a sincere look on his face.
"Sister Qin, these are the digestion pills that Brother Guan made specially for me. Brother Guan is a famous doctor. Not only will I not have to worry about indigestion after taking these pills, they are also very good for my stomach."
"Look, Yueyue and Aunt Li have also eaten, don't be afraid."
"If you really have concerns, it doesn't matter if you don't take it. It's just a magic medicine. It won't be a big deal if you don't take it."
After all, we just met and are not familiar with them yet.
It's normal to be afraid to take medicine given by strangers.
Guan Ruoyu looked at Su Jiuyue and advised her gently.
Su Jiuyue didn't say anything, just looked at the exquisitely presented food and fiddled with the chopsticks in her hand.
Tan Ruoyi saw that Lin Qingqing and Guan Ruoyu had a misunderstanding.
Immediately swallow the digestive pill in one gulp.
He glanced at the two of them unceremoniously.
"You two! I was just seeing the lively atmosphere and feeling a little emotional for a moment, but you guys are being too suspicious!"
"I feel like I've known you guys since the moment I met you. How could I have so much doubt about this and that?"
"Brother Guan has something good and thought of giving me a share. I am so happy!"
Qin Ruoyi spoke sincerely and looked at Guan Ruoyu with gratitude.
Guan Ruoyu smiled gently.
"I hope Miss Tan doesn't mind."
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing while eating, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Under Qin Ruoyi's strong recommendation, Lin Qingqing tasted a little bit of each dish.
He ate while shaking his head and praising.
"Not bad! Really good! Although the taste is not as good as our Suwei, it is also very delicious!"
"No wonder Sister Tan has to eat Si Hai Yuan every day. This lotus root slice is sweet and sticky. I like it the most!"
Su Jiuyue also ate a lot.
After being in this world for so long, only the dishes cooked by Sihaiyuan can catch her eye!
Qin Ruoyi happily ate several pieces of lotus crisps that she had been craving for days.
I heard from Lin Qingqing that there are places that serve better food than Sihaiyuan.
Some don't believe it.
"Sister, is the Su Wei you mentioned really better than Si Hai Yuan?"
Speaking of Suwei, Lin Qingqing is very interested!
"Sister! To be honest, Suwei is Yueyue's family's food store. If you don't try that flavor, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Some other day, let Yueyue show you her skills, and then you will know!"
"Hahaha, then I'm really looking forward to it. Sister Yue'er, please don't refuse."
As he was talking happily, Manager Liu came to the table with a smile on his face and bowed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you like the food? I heard that you are from Jiangnan. I wonder if guests from Jiangnan can get used to the taste of Xiangshan?"
After hearing this, several people looked at each other with some confusion on their faces.
Only Qin Ruoyi didn't notice anything wrong and nodded vigorously.
"Shopkeeper Liu, they like Sihaiyuan's craftsmanship very much!"
Lin Qingqing puffed her cheeks, stopped eating, and spoke with doubt in her tone.
"Manager Liu, who told you that we are from Jiangnan?"
"Is not it?"
Liu Yuexing heard Lin Qingqing's tone and sensed something, so he spoke uncertainly.
Li smiled faintly.
"We are from Xiuli City and grew up there. We heard that Jiangnan is a beautiful place, but we never had the chance to see it with our own eyes. It's a pity."
After hearing what Li said, Liu Yuexing realized that he had misunderstood.
"Hahaha, listening to the girl's wonderful poem about Jiangnan, I felt as if I were there. I thought only people who were born and raised in Jiangnan could write so vividly!"
"I didn't expect that everyone misunderstood. The girl has such a deep understanding just by hearing about it. I admire you so much!"
Su Jiuyue smiled and nodded without saying much.
"Manager Liu, the dishes in your restaurant are really well seasoned and have a unique flavor."
"This Lan Ying is also very creative and very pretty."
Guan Ruoyu stared at Shopkeeper Liu and praised him in a gentle voice.
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned.
Guan Ruoyu picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully and squinting his eyes as if enjoying it.
“It tastes great, great…”
Only after watching Guan Ruoyu swallow the meat did Liu Yuexing force a smile.
“Hahaha! As long as the guests like it, it’s good. This is their first time here, and any valuable opinions are very important to us.”
"Since the guests like it, I won't bother you anymore. Enjoy your meal, enjoy your meal!"
Shopkeeper Liu retreated tactfully.
Su Jiuyue and the others continued to feast on the food.
Shopkeeper Liu hid in the dark and saw everything.
"Get ready. The masked man among them has some skills. As soon as he falls, subdue him first."
"Don't take the youngest girl lightly either. She looks like she's also a martial artist."
"The other three girls can only perform some fancy moves at best, so don't worry too much about them."
Shopkeeper Liu gave orders to the people who had been lying in ambush behind him.
However, after waiting for a long time and until my feet were almost numb from squatting, no one fell down.
"Your Excellency, is there something wrong with the medicine?"
The subordinate, whose feet were almost numb from squatting, couldn't help but become suspicious when he saw that the other party was still eating happily.
Liu Yuexing frowned.
"I personally took care of the drugging matter, so there won't be any problems."
"That's weird, why didn't they react?"
"Your Excellency, they are just a bunch of women and a man with some skills!"
"Why go to all this trouble! Can't we just go up and deal with them?"
The subordinate obviously lost his patience.
I don't understand why you have to be so cautious with these women!
Liu Yuexing glared at him!
"Tan Yufu is already investigating the missing persons in the city. If you rush in like this and fail to subdue them with one move, and cause a commotion and alert Tan Yufu's people, won't that cause trouble for the headquarters?"
"Qin Ruoyi is the only daughter of Qin Yufu. If you force your action and implicate her, can you afford to let Qin Yufu go crazy?"
Liu Yuexing glared at him again with a look of disappointment!
"Besides, I've always said that when you do things, you must always remember that there must be something fishy going on."
"The fifth team was supposed to bring people here two days ago, but they disappeared for no apparent reason. Isn't that enough to alert you?"
"The blue light combined with the moonlight in their food should have paralyzed them and made them unconscious."
"But they are fine, which proves that these people are definitely not ordinary people."
"You act rashly without knowing the enemy. Is this what I teach you?"
The subordinate was scolded so hard that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
After Liu Yuexing finished speaking, he bowed respectfully.
"I know I was wrong, so should we just wait and see what happens?"
Liu Yuexing's mouth corners curled up into an evil arc.
