Chapter 131 Five or Three?(1/2)
"What do you want to eat?" Li Yuanbin turned his head and glanced at Minnie, then turned to look at the road ahead.
Minnie leaned on the passenger seat, held her head with one hand and thought for a while, then turned to look at Li Yuanbin, her charming eyes as bright as stars.
"How about we go have Chinese food?"
Because Li Yuanbin prefers Chinese food, and there are two Chinese members in his group and his own family, Minnie gradually fell in love with the delicious Chinese food.
"That's okay. I happen to know a very good Chinese restaurant nearby. Let's go there to eat today!" Li Yuanbin smiled and nodded.
The Chinese restaurant Li Yuanbin drove Minnie to was the one he often ate at, and the owner was known to him.
Parking the car in the parking space, Minnie jumped out of the car and looked at the Chinese restaurant in front of her.
The Chinese restaurant has an obvious Chinese style and is grand.
As soon as the two people walked to the door, a young clerk in uniform came over.
"Hello, are there just two of you?" The clerk came to the two of them holding the card and asked proactively.
Before Li Yuanbin could speak, he heard a strong male voice coming from behind the clerk.
The clerk turned around and saw that it was his boss, the manager of this Chinese restaurant.
The store manager walked out from behind the cabinet and stood in front of the two of them.
"Welcome you two, the box is ready!"
The store manager naturally held his hands, bowed slightly, and said to Li Yuanbin.
Because Li Yuanbin was a frequent customer of this Chinese restaurant, it was not surprising that the store manager knew him. Considering the special status of the guests, over time, the boss also vacated several private rooms for emergencies.
As for the clerk just now, he was actually just a part-time worker here. Naturally, he didn't know that Chinese restaurants would reserve private rooms for customers like Li Yuanbin.
Li Yuanbin took Minnie and followed the store manager to the next cubicle, walked through the long corridor, and came to an extremely hidden box.
"There is actually such a hidden box here?"
Minnie followed Li Yuanbin and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Yuanbin smiled, squeezed Minnie's slender hand with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Of course there are such hidden private rooms, but unless you come here often to eat, or consciously ask the clerk at the front desk, otherwise the average person
You won’t be able to use the private rooms here.”
The store manager who was leading the way walked on the road without looking back. As someone who came to the peninsula to work hard in the early years, he naturally knew what to say, what to ask, and what not to say or ask.
He led the two of them to the private room and sat down. The manager took two menus and handed them to them respectively.
"What do you two want to eat?"
In such a hidden private room, those who place orders and serve food are separated from the lobby outside. The advantage of this is that confidentiality is strong, which is also what Li Yuanbin likes about this Chinese restaurant.
Minnie opened the menu and looked at it, and read out the names of the dishes she liked. The store manager standing aside also took out his tablet, clicked on it a few times, and then said what Minnie said.
I wrote down a few dishes.
After Minnie stopped, the store manager looked at the big shot Li Yuanbin again.
Li Yuanbin shook his head and said to the store manager with a smile: "What she said is what I want to eat. I won't order it now. I will order it if there is not enough food."
The store manager nodded, put away the tablet, and nodded to the two of them: "Then you guys talk first, I'll go and get busy first."
After saying that, the store manager turned around and left the box.
Looking at the box door that was gradually closing, Minnie also took off her disguise, took off her hat and mask and placed them on a chair aside.
Cross her hands on her chin, using both arms to support the weight of her entire head.
"What kind of gift should we prepare for Liu Zhen?" Minnie looked at Li Yuanbin doubtfully.
Li Yuanbin raised his head and glanced at Minnie opposite him, then put down the teapot in his hand.
He leaned back on the chair and thought for a while, then said to Minnie seriously: "How about... buying some clothes and jewelry?"
I recall that when Minnie celebrated her birthday last year, Li Yuanbin didn't go because of work. Instead, he made up for it with jewelry that he thought was pretty good. I guess in his opinion, girls would like these more.
?
Minnie thought for a while and shook her head. She felt that Li Yuanbin's plan was not very good.
"Liu Zhen looks more like the kind of person who gives gifts. I hope the person celebrating his birthday can clearly tell me what gift he wants. When he celebrates his birthday, he also hopes to receive useful gifts that he wants."
"I'm a person, so I thought it would be better to give some gifts that I can actually use?"
Li Yuanbin groped his chin and thought for a while, feeling that what Minnie said was more correct.
After all, only women understand women very well.
Li Yuanbin pondered for a moment and said to Minnie: "That's right. After dinner, let's go see what we can buy!"
Just when the two people were discussing which mall to go to, the door of the box was knocked, and the familiar voice of the store manager came from outside.
"Guest, your order is here~"
Li Yuanbin stood up and opened the door, and saw three people standing outside the door, each holding a large plate with several kinds of dishes on it.
The two people following the store manager are both nephews of the store manager. After graduation, they came to help in the Chinese restaurant.
Li Yuanbin turned sideways, leaving room for the store manager and others to enter.
The store manager smiled and nodded, carefully picked up the plate and walked in.
The two nephews followed closely behind, and as soon as they stepped into the box, they saw Minnie sitting on the chair, her eyes slightly enlarged, full of surprise.
The two people glanced at each other, quickly put away their expressions, placed the dishes on their plates on the table one after another, then bowed slightly to Li Yuanbin and Minnie, and exited the box.
On the way out, the younger one patted his brother and said to him excitedly: "I didn't expect that person to be Minnie, a member of (g)i-dle."
The elder brother quickly took his younger brother's arm and placed his fingers on his lips: "Shh! Be careful!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the store manager walking in front.
If the younger brother would still speak freely because he just came, as the older brother, he obviously knows the stakes involved.
The store manager who was walking in front suddenly stopped, causing the younger brother who was following behind and almost bumped into the store manager.
The store manager turned around, with serious eyes, looked at his nephew up and down, and then warned him earnestly: "Everything about the man in the box from now on, that is, no matter who he brings,
No matter whether you know the person he brings or not, you can only see it in your eyes and keep it in your heart, but remember not to tell anyone."
"Confidentiality is the reason why so many important people come to our restaurant. You must not try to break it!"
The younger brother, who had just arrived, understood now, nodded desperately, and then assured the store manager: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't talk too much!"
"That's best. Let's go. There are still a lot of things to do ahead!"
The store manager smiled and nodded and continued walking to the front hall.
The two brothers looked at each other, the elder brother gave the younger brother an encouraging look, and the two quickly followed the store manager's pace.
In the box.
Li Yuanbin is showing Minnie how to eat this roast duck.
Many of the dishes Minnie ordered here today were ones she had heard from Song Yuqi, but she had never tried them, so she was satisfied this time.
I saw Li Yuanbin pick a little sweet noodle sauce with kuaizi, spread it on the lotus leaf cake, put a few roast duck slices on top, put a few green onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, roll up the lotus leaf cake, a perfect roast duck
The roll appeared in front of Minnie's eyes.
Li Yuanbin handed the roast duck roll in front of Minnie.
"Ah~"
Minnie smiled, leaned towards Li Yuanbin, raised her neck and opened her mouth.
Li Yuanbin stuffed the roast duck roll in his hand into Minnie's little mouth.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Minnie took one bite and held it with her palm on her chin, fearing that the roast duck would fall to the ground.
As you chew, the unique deliciousness of the roast duck gradually emerges.
If I had to sum it up in sixteen words, it would be: red color, tender meat, mellow taste, fat but not greasy.
Minnie's eyes gradually brightened, she covered her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, she nodded happily, and said inarticulately: "It's delicious~"
After swallowing the roast duck in her mouth, Minnie looked at the plate of roast duck on the table with a magical look on her face.
“This is the first time I’ve seen this texture and taste. It’s really good!”
Li Yuanbin smiled, wrapped another one for Minnie and put it on her plate: "Yeah, this one is still improved. If you want to eat the authentic one, you still have to go to China."
Minnie nodded in agreement, picked up the food on the plate and put it in her mouth. Then she followed Li Yuanbin's example and wrapped a roast duck roll and handed it to Li Yuanbin.
Like Minnie just now, Li Yuanbin raised his neck, opened his mouth, and bit into it.
"Is it tasty?"
"not bad!"
Li Yuanbin nodded with satisfaction. Although it was an improved roast duck, you could still taste the original taste.
A delicious lunch ended with two people devouring it.
