Chapter 8: Florence

In the blink of an eye, two people stood in front of a Chinese restaurant.

"Whew......" Jingzhi took a deep breath, "this is it!" Ruyi Ju! With her left hand, she opened a milky white door with a glass window and said to Qi'er, "You go first!" ”

Qi'er didn't speak, her head shrunk, and she suddenly slipped into the door. Jingzhi saw that Qi'er had already entered the door, and she followed in, with two feet on the white floor tiles.

"Are they two, please?" A tall, busty-bogged English waitress with a long golden ponytail walked over to Jingzhi and Qi'er.

"Yes! Two of you! Thank you! Jingzhi replied calmly, and then asked, "Can you give us a seat by the window?" ”

The waitress first glanced back at the tables and chairs in the restaurant, then turned her face to Jingzhi and said, "Of course!" Please follow me. ”

The waitress then led Jingzhi and Qi'er to the direction of the bar, stopping at a table by the window next to the bar. There are chairs on each side of the dining table, just enough for two people to eat together.

The waitress pointed to the dining table and asked Jingzhi, "What do you think of here?" ”

Jingzhi said to the waitress in a slightly mocking tone, "It's amazing here! Thank you! Florence! ”

Seeing that Jingzhi was very satisfied, Florence smiled proudly and said to Jingzhi, "Please wait a minute, I'll go get you the menu!" ”

"Okay, thank you!" Jingzhi said with a smile.

Jingzhi had just finished speaking when Florence left. Jingzhi asked Qi'er to find a seat she liked to sit down, and she sat opposite Qi'er.

In less than a minute, Florence walked over from the bar, holding two menus in her hands, one for Jingzhi and the other for Qi'er.

Jingzhi took the menu and said to Florence, "Thank you!" I think...... It takes some time for us to figure out what to order. You go get busy first, we'll figure out something and call you! Thank you! ”

Florence nodded, said "OK!" to Jingzhi, and turned to leave.

As soon as Florence left, Qi'er, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask Jingzhi: "Are you...... Do you know her? ”

Jingzhi looked through the menu in her hand and said casually: "Yes, I know her, but it hasn't been long." Her name is Florence, she is a freshman at Mutas University, majoring in vocal and violin performance in the arts, and is a member of the Mutas University Choir. As you heard earlier, her accent is a more standard London accent, and that's because her home is in a small town not far from London. ”

After listening to Jingzhi's brief introduction to Florence, Qi'er asked loudly in surprise, "Mutas University Choir?" Mutas University actually has a choir! What songs are they singing? Where are you singing? ”

"Oh? You're actually interested in the choir! Jingzhi glanced up at Qi'er, then lowered her head and continued to look at the menu, saying unhurriedly, "Well, Florence told me that they sing hymns at the church near the school at Christmas. ”

"Oh...... That's ......" Qi'er nodded and muttered to herself. Suddenly, she said to Jingzhi excitedly: "She is really a big beauty!" ”

Qi'er's voice was a little loud, which made Jingzhi stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Haha, yes, she is indeed a big beauty!" I couldn't agree more! When Jingzhi said the last sentence, Jingzhi deliberately lowered her voice, so as to suggest that Qi'er lowered her voice a little.

Qi'er didn't speak again, just lowered her head and silently flipped through the menu.

"Have you decided what you're going to eat?"

Jingzhi raised her head and glanced at Qi'er, and found that she was still carefully reading the menu, so she asked her what she wanted to eat.

"How about a spicy chicken?" Qi'er didn't look up when she spoke, and she didn't speak loudly, more like she was talking to herself.

"Spicy chicken? All right! I also like spicy chicken! Anything else? ”

Jingzhi heard that the dish that Qi'er wanted to order was also her favorite, not to mention how happy she was.

"Then another garlic choy sum, what do you think?" Qi'er whispered, raised her head, and stared at Jingzhi.

"Okay!" Jingzhi responded to Qi'er's proposal very happily, "That's all? I'm afraid it's not enough for two people to eat! How about ordering another fish? ”

"Fish? What fish? Qi'er asked Jingzhi in a low voice.

"Fish, such as boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, and so on...... Or order that or something...... What the...... Oh, by the way, it's this ......" Jingzhi picked up the menu and pointed to a picture on it and said to Qi'er, "Or this one, chopped pepper fish head." ”

"Ahh Just order this! This one! Qi'er said excitedly, her voice was a little loud, and a middle-aged British couple next to her couldn't help but glance over here.

Jingzhi stretched out her right hand, shook it up and down a few times in front of Qi'er, and whispered to her, "Shh...... Calm...... Calm ......"

A hint of blush immediately appeared on Qi'er's face, and she lowered her head and did not speak. Jingzhi then asked her, "Do you want to order any other dishes?" ”

Qi'er didn't speak again, just lowered her head and silently flipped through the menu. Seeing that Qi'er didn't speak, Jingzhi had to ask her, "Why don't you add another celery fried shrimp?" ”

"Okay......" Qi'er whispered as she nodded.

"Okay!" Jingzhi said dryly, and then asked Qi'er: "What staple food do you eat?" ”

"White rice is fine!" Qi'er said without thinking.

Hearing Qi'er's answer, Jingzhi immediately said, "Okay, just white rice!" Want something to drink? ”

"What about you? What do you like to drink in general? Qi'er didn't seem to have any ideas, and wanted to hear Jingzhi's opinion.

"Me? I usually drink apple juice, and although it is not freshly squeezed, it is still made of fruit, and it tastes good. What do you drink? Jingzhi was still very curious and continued to ask Qi'er.

"Oops, I really don't know what to drink! Alas, then just like you, apple juice! Qi'er replied helplessly.

Jingzhi closed the menu in her hand, spread out her two hands, gently dragged her chin, and said gently: "Look at the dessert again, do you like to eat it." ”

"Hah! Each of these desserts looks delicious! Qi'er's words were filled with joy.

Jingzhi comforted Qi'er and said, "It's okay, we have time, you can order one first, and you can order the rest next time you come." ”

Qi'er nodded and said to Jingzhi, "Mmmm, what you said makes so much sense! So today I'm going to order this double ball ice cream, one for chocolate, the other for the other...... Belch...... It's just about matcha to taste good! ”

"Alright, I'll call Florence right away!" After speaking, Jingzhi shouted crisply in the direction of the bar: "Excuse me!"

Florence, who was standing behind the bar, heard Jingzhi's voice and immediately walked over quickly, holding a small white notebook and a black ballpoint pen in her hand.

"Want something?" Florence asked Jingzhi with a smile.

Jingzhi craned her neck, looked at the notebook in Florence's hand, and whispered to her, "We want a plate of spicy chicken ......"

"Well, spicy chicken ......," Florence repeated quietly, rustling something in her notebook. After writing, she continued to ask Jingzhi: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Garlic cabbage sum ......," Jingzhi continued.

"Hmm...... Garlic choy sum ......" Florence continued to repeat Jingzhi's words, still writing quickly in the small notebook. After she finished writing, she glanced up at Jingzhi and said to her, "Is there anything else?" ”

Jingzhi also glanced at her and said to her, "Chopped pepper fish head and fried shrimp with celery, thank you!" ”

β€œOK! Fish head with chopped pepper and stir-fried shrimp with celery ......" Florence whispered again, continuing to write something in the notebook.

Qi'er on the other side looked at the scene in front of her and was completely stunned. It was the first time she had seen a Chinese pronounce such lame Chinese names translated into English, and the names were repeated by an Englishman.

"Spicy chicken, garlic choy sum, chopped pepper fish head and stir-fried shrimp with celery, right?" Florence read it again in London to make sure she had ordered the right menu.

"Yes, exactly!" Jingzhi said with great certainty. Jingzhi was very satisfied with Florence's service attitude, so she answered her in a 100% affirmative tone.

Florence pursed her lips and smiled, her smile as bright as the spring flowers blooming in early spring.

"Would you like something to drink?" Florence tilted her head and glanced at Jingzhi, smiling knowingly, still holding the pen in her right hand and holding the small notebook in the other, without the slightest relaxation.

"Two glasses of apple juice." Jingzhi said quietly.

"Do you want to add ice?" Florence asked, confused.

"Do you want to add ice?" Jingzhi stretched her neck forward and asked Qi'er softly.

"Plus, add ice!" Qi'er didn't reply loudly.

"Well, one cup with ice, one glass without ice, thank you!" Jingzhi looked up at Florence and answered her seriously.

"Okay, two cups of apple juice, one on the rocks and one on the rocks." Florence repeated.

"Also, we wanted to order a double ball of ice cream, one chocolate-flavored and the other matcha-flavored." Jingzhi continued.

"Okay! Chocolate-flavored ice cream and matcha-flavored ice cream......" Florence continued repeating as she quickly wrote down in her notebook.

"In addition to that, I want a chocolate cake." Jingzhi thought for two seconds and continued, "That's all, thank you!" ”

"Okay! A double ball of ice cream with a chocolate cake, right? Florence took the menu, tucked it under her armpit, and said to Jingzhi very seriously, wanting to reconfirm the dessert that Jingzhi just mentioned.

"Yes!" Jingzhi looked up and nodded affirmatively at Florence.

"Is dessert served after a meal?" Florence asked Jingzhi softly.

"Yes, after dinner. Thank you! Jingzhi said with a smile.

Florence put the notebook and pen into the pocket of her overalls, nodded and smiled at Jingzhi, and walked away briskly with the two thick menus she had just tucked under her armpits.

"You two know each other well!" Qi'er had been holding her chin there and thinking for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Hah! It's nothing, there weren't many guests when I came before, and I had the opportunity to talk to her a few times. Jingzhi leaned back on the soft seat backrest, crossed Erlang's legs, and answered the question that Qi'er asked her just now.

"I see!" Qi'er drooped her head and said thoughtfully.

Seeing Qi'er's listless appearance, Jingzhi comforted her and said, "Are you hungry?" But don't worry, this shop will serve food quickly. So, you'll be ready to eat in no time! ”

"Oh?" Qi'er suddenly became energetic again, and said excitedly, "That's really good! ”

Jingzhi stroked the hair hanging down on the left side, and said calmly: "When I first moved to this house, the kitchen was not cleaned up, and many things were not bought. At that time, I came here to eat almost every day. I remember they were very quick every time they served the food. ”

"Ah...... You mean...... Haven't cleaned up the kitchen yet? Haven't bought a lot of stuff yet? Qi'er exclaimed in surprise, making Jingzhi regret mentioning it to her a little.

"That was almost half a month ago. Rest assured, the kitchen is now completely tidied up by me, and everything has been bought. ”

"You're saying our kitchen is all tidied up now?" Qi'er said with some concern.

"Haha, let you take a closer look at the house before signing the contract!" Seeing Qi'er's worried expression, Jingzhi covered her mouth and snickered, while comforting her and saying, "Don't worry, the kitchen is all cleaned up, and all the cooking tools are complete." ”

"That's good, that's good...... So I'm relieved! Qi'er kept gently patting her plump breasts with her right hand, which was a sigh of relief.
