Chapter 63: 61, Cheats in hand! Good feelings non-stop!
After leaving the Patek Philippe Store in Capital City, Luofeng took Lu Yaqing to the side of a Rolls-Royce luxury car.
"Mr. Luo, where are we going now?" Seeing that both of them had gotten into the car, the driver couldn’t help but glance at the figure of the beautiful Lu Yaqing in the backseat, but he didn’t dare to look for long.
"Miss Lu..." Luofeng didn’t answer, instead tossing the question to Lu Yaqing. After all, she knew Jing City better than he did.
"How about we go to Tan’s Restaurant near Wangfujing?" Lu Yaqing pondered. "It’s also quite close to your hotel."
As for the Tan’s Restaurant Lu Yaqing mentioned, it was one of the most famous official cuisine restaurants in Capital City. It was created by the late Qing Dynasty bureaucrat Tan Zongjun, who blended his native Cantonese cuisine with Jing cuisine to create Tan’s cuisine, which became renowned throughout Capital City. Later, when his family’s fortunes declined, his descendants began hosting banquets at home to supplement their income. This tradition has continued to this day, and it’s rumored to be the earliest private restaurant in Daxia.
"Oh, I know this place; no need for navigation then," the driver said with an easy smile, hearing it was near the hotel where he worked. However, without a nod from Luofeng, he didn’t immediately start the car.
"Well, okay, it sounds good. Let’s go to that private restaurant."
Having received Luofeng’s affirmation, the driver nodded, twisted the car key, and set off towards Tan’s Restaurant.
The majestic and elegant Rolls-Royce moved along. The spacious rear seat area wasn’t cramped, so it wouldn’t make Luofeng and Lu Yaqing, who had just met, feel awkward.
Following that, Luofeng wanted to know more about the restaurant, and Lu Yaqing naturally began to provide details. Although Luofeng could have looked up the information online, there was no need with a living AI to explain it.
"Mr. Luo, it’s all set. I’ve already booked a private room online," Lu Yaqing said after using her phone for a while. She then lifted her head and smiled at Luofeng.
"Okay, you arrange everything," Luofeng smiled and nodded.
After about half an hour on the road, they finally arrived at Tan’s Restaurant.
Lu Yaqing got out of the car first and went ahead to speak to a waiter, "Hello, we have a private room reserved under the surname Lu." Although she wasn’t very famous, Lu Yaqing still put on sunglasses. Sometimes Luofeng found it baffling how these minor celebrities wanted to be recognized yet insisted on covering themselves up so thoroughly. What kind of mentality was that?
"But, I prefer lighter dishes; no need for too many heavy ones," Lu Yaqing said, glancing back worriedly. Fortunately, Luofeng didn’t hurry to follow her in. Instead, he looked up at the sign and the surroundings. Lu Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She was a celebrity, but not a major one, and didn’t have much money in her pocket. It’s worth noting that Tan’s Restaurant had a minimum charge of three thousand yuan per person. What did "minimum" mean? It meant you had to spend at least that much to dine there, not that it would be the final price of your meal.
"Not too many heavy dishes? Something lighter?" The waiter was a bit confused but quickly smiled. "Alright, we have a minimum charge of three thousand yuan per person. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes, we’ll take that," Lu Yaqing said with an embarrassed nod.
"This private restaurant has a pretty good environment," Luofeng commented as he approached after she finished speaking. He was inwardly amused. These minor celebrities, before making it big, really did seem to glitter with gold while a cold wind whistled through their empty wallets.
"Mr. Luo, you order the dishes. Anything you like." Soon, once they were in the private room, Lu Yaqing pushed the menu notebook over to him. Since they had already chosen the minimum spend, there wouldn’t be any excessively expensive dishes on it anyway.
"I saw earlier that their Firewood Duck seems to have good reviews," Luofeng said, looking at the menu and choosing one of the cheaper signature dishes.
"The Firewood Duck is indeed good. I’ve had it before, and it tastes even better than Capital City roast duck," Lu Yaqing nodded and gave a small smile.
"Alright, let’s also have the Arhat Shrimp and the Clear Soup Bird’s Nest. You can choose the rest," Luofeng made his selections and then pushed the notebook back to her.
Luofeng also noted the prices. The Firewood Duck cost 699 yuan. The Arhat Shrimp was 588 yuan per dish. The Clear Soup Bird’s Nest was 499 yuan. For this restaurant, the total wasn’t too pricey. After all, in a place like this, dishes over 2,000 yuan were merely considered mid-range.
Lu Yaqing took back the menu, unsure what else to choose, as Luofeng seemed to have ordered all the cheapest dishes.
"Actually, for just two people, there’s no need to waste food. I don’t like to waste," Luofeng said. freewebnøvel_com
"Then... okay." Lu Yaqing almost wanted to kneel; this man was a master at defusing awkward situations.
About half an hour later, the dishes were served one after another. Luofeng looked at them. While there was no issue with the presentation, the actual size was significantly different from the pictures. Five dishes for two people, especially with a hearty eater like him, seemed somewhat insufficient. No wonder they always said pictures were for reference only.
However, Luofeng didn’t show that he hadn’t had enough. Instead, when Lu Yaqing suggested ordering more, worried he was still hungry, Luofeng casually patted his stomach and said he was about to burst.
At the end of the meal, if he had to give a rating, it would be about an 8.9 out of 10. Overall, he was quite satisfied.
"Did you go pay the bill? That’s really too much, isn’t it?" Luofeng asked. He had noticed Lu Yaqing make an excuse to go to the restroom but then return from the wrong direction. He guessed what had happened.
"Mr. Luo, you helped me at Patek Philippe, so naturally, I should pay for this meal," Lu Yaqing said with a slight smile.
Luofeng waved his hand dismissively. "What’s this? It was a small favor. Besides, I also messed things up with that investor for you."
"Not at all. Actually, I didn’t want to accept his investment in the first place," Lu Yaqing said, removing the watch from her wrist and placing it back in its box. "This is too valuable. Please forgive me for being unable to accept your kind gesture."
After all, in front of so many waiters earlier, Lu Yaqing couldn’t have easily refused without causing a scene. Given his insistence, she hadn’t pressed the issue. But now, with just the two of them, she made her choice.
