Chapter Seventy-One
The laughter of the three delicate and lively girls is very eye-catching.
"Where are we going to eat?" There are really a lot of people, and Luoluo doesn't want to squeeze in to grab food.
"Let's go there." Man Man found a restaurant where there were not many people, and then walked in with Luoluo and Huixin.
Looking for a very quaint hotel with a faΓ§ade decoration, although the decoration is very good, but there are very few people? What's going on?
"It's full, isn't it delicious here, why are there so few people?" Luoluo is also a foodie.
I don't think so, "Let's try it first." Manman directly pulled Luo Luo and Huixin in.
As soon as the three of them entered the hotel, they saw that the decoration inside was even more exquisite and beautiful.
"It's a nice place." I like things with an ancient taste, and now I see such a beautiful decoration, and I think that if I am eating a delicious meal at this time, it will be a double enjoyment of taste and vision, but ......
There are really few people in this shop, and it is very lively outside, and there are a few sporadic people eating inside, and they don't enjoy it very much.
"Welcome." The three of them stood in the lobby of the hotel, looking at the somewhat vacant restaurant, and were hesitating whether to sit down to eat, when a girl in a waiter's uniform greeted her and said to the three of them with a smile.
"Please come and sit." The girl was about to take Manman and the three of them to sit at the window for dinner, Manman and Luoluo Huixin looked at each other, or followed the girl's footsteps, walked to the dining table, and sat down.
"This is our menu, what do you want next?" The girl attached three menus to the full three.
I opened the menu full, well, there are still a lot of dishes.
"You can order food, we'll do whatever we want." Luoluo and Huixin asked Man Man to order, and Man Man nodded.
"Give us a pot of Longjing tea first, and if you have some snacks and dishes, you will order them later."
"Okay, please wait." The girl left the table with that.
"Why don't you order?" Luoluo asked full.
"How about trying the pilot heart first, if it's a dim sum, it can't be done, let alone a big dish." I feel that way.
Luoluo and Huixin nodded, and they were full, and the three of them were chatting while waiting for dinner, chatting about school gossip and talking about the decoration of the hotel.
"Manman, you like antiques, huh?" Luoluo is full of questions.
"yes, don't you think antiques taste like that." Man Man also liked antiques very much in his previous life, but he was shy and didn't have much money to buy antiques.
Although I don't have much money, I sometimes go to the antique street to hang out, feast my eyes, and sometimes pick up leaks.
"Manman, what you said is exactly the same as what Grandpa Huixin said, it seems that you really understand."
"Huixin's grandfather?"
"Yes, my grandfather opened a small shop on the antique street." Huixin said softly.
"What kind of small shop is that, don't listen to Huixin and be modest, that store is very big, if you have a chance, I will take you to see it." Luoluo directly revealed Huixin's modesty, in fact, it is really not a small shop, the store is very famous, and the decoration is also very good.
"Okay, okay, go down and go to meet Huixin's grandfather and ask for advice on some things." Full of only the things that interest you.
"I'm sorry, the meal is here." The girl pushed the small dining cart and came to the table full of three people.
Seeing that the girl was busy alone, as if she was in a hurry, Man Man got up directly and helped the girl put the plates with small snacks on the dining table one by one.
"No, no." The girl saw that she was full and started directly, and hurriedly wanted to stop, how could there be any reason to let the guests serve the plates.
"It's okay, you take your time." Man Man still helped the girl serve the plates and put the snacks on the table one by one.
"Thank you." The girl thanked Manman.
"No, by the way, why are you so deserted here? Also, I think you're just a waiter here? You're a waiter, right? Seeing that there were no plates on the dining car, he sat back in his seat.
"I, I'm not a waiter, I'm, I'm the boss." The girl's cheeks blushed a little as she said this.
"Boss? How old are you? The three of them were surprised, this girl looked about the same age as them.
Man Man looked at the girl carefully.
The girl who said she was the boss looked delicate and delicate, just like a little white flower, delicate.
The girl looks thin and thin, and her age is really not very old, so they are very surprised, shouldn't they be in school at this age?
"I'm sixteen."
"It's really amazing to be the boss at sixteen." Manman is still only 12 years old, and this girl is about 4 years older than herself, and it is really not easy to be the boss at such a young age.
"No, no, this shop belongs to my parents, it's just...... My parents left the house for some reason, so I took care of the store. "The girl's appearance is a little sad.
Full, Luoluo, Huixin looked at each other, and Luoluo spoke, "Hehe, but you are really good." β
The falling compliment made the girl's cheeks a little red again.
The girl seemed to be very shy and thin-skinned.
"No, I'm not great, I'm a failure, you see, there's no business here, right?" The girl saw that the three of them were listening to her carefully, and she sat directly on the dining table, she wanted to vomit the bitterness in her heart, holding back so uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"Our shop, when my parents were there before, was very famous, people who came here to eat every day, there was an endless stream, and the schedule was full, unlike now, there are only 4 or 5 people a day, these are my parents' friends before, they don't have any business here, so they come here every day to take care of the business here, I am very grateful to them."
The girl took the teacup that was handed over, and after thanking her and taking a sip of water, she continued: "There was not only one waiter here, when the business was good, the waiters had to recruit more than 20 people, but now, there is no business, and there is no income, so I have retired all the waiters and become a waiter myself, anyway, the business is not very busy, and I am also busy." It wasn't clear why she talked so much to Ma Nan, maybe they were close in age, or maybe they were very serious when they heard her, so the girl couldn't stop talking and said a lot.
Man Man had been listening to the girl, and she found that whenever the girl talked about her parents, her expression was very painful.
So, it must have happened to her parents... Full of speculation.
"I'm sorry I've been nagging for so long... Taste it, it's a little snack I made. The girl's eyes were a little moist.
Man Man didn't know what to say, the girl obviously didn't want to talk about the previous topic, Man Man conformed to the girl's meaning, don't talk about it if you don't talk about it.
Man Man set his eyes on the small snack on the table.
I ordered five different kinds of snacks, hibiscus cake, glutinous rice rolls, pearl dough, pumpkin pie and small soup dumplings.
The small snacks on the five small plates on the dining table look good, the delicacy is insufficient, in short, it's okay, it's good, but I don't know how it tastes?
"Try it first, Luoluo, Huixin, and the boss, eat and see." Manman greeted all the people on the table, moved the chopsticks, and Manman himself moved the chopsticks and ate.
"No need, you eat, well, then, you can call me Xiaoqian." Xiao Qian, that is, the girl before, waved her hand to Manman, indicating that she didn't eat it, and she asked Manman to taste it, how it tasted.
Manman sandwiched a piece of hibiscus cake, his mouth approached the chopsticks, and Manman took a bite.
It's glutinous and soft, the sweetness is just right, it's just...
"Okay, Xiaoqian, this hibiscus cake, did you put the dried hibiscus petals to make the hibiscus cake?"
"You, how do you know?" Xiaoqian looked at it in surprise, God, how could you eat the raw materials as soon as you eat it, the taste buds are so good?
"We're full of cooking and cooking, so ah, she's got a good mouth." Luoluo grabbed the words, full of real spirit, she also ate the hibiscus cake, but what is this hibiscus cake made of, she Luoluo can't eat it.
"Look at you, eat your stuff and go." Manman felt that Luoluo was exaggerating, "I'm just a little fine with my taste buds, and ah, do you know why I'm asking you if you're making hibiscus cake with petals?" β
Seeing Xiaoqian shaking his head, Man Man said, "Your pastry, I ate it in the first bite, it tastes good, and the second bite is a little greasy, not because of the sweetness, but because of the petals, you put too many petals." β
"I, I don't know..."Xiao Qian listened very carefully, she didn't go to the course of making high points before, she just watched when her parents were around, and her parents made small snacks.
The craftsmanship is not perfect, and I haven't done it before, so the material is not very accurate.
"If the petals are put right, the sweetness in the petals will seep into the flour, so it will be sweeter and very greasy to eat."
Xiao Qian nodded, "I don't know how much to put in it so that it won't be as sweet as you say." β
"Let me tell you a little secret, when making hibiscus cakes, or making small desserts with flowers as ingredients, don't use flower petals, use flower roots, flower roots have no sweetness, but have a floral fragrance, this fragrance is more and clearer than the flowers themselves."
Flower roots? Isn't that a flower smell? Xiao Qian didn't understand.
"Just try it next time." Not much to say, this Xiaoqian looks like she doesn't believe it, but in fact, she's just met, well, it's her own will to try it or not.
"Don't believe it, if you have the opportunity to taste the full cooking, you will want to swallow your tongue when you eat." Luo Luo said very heroically, and his voice echoed in the empty hotel lobby.
