Jiang Xin thought, there are so many customers inside this restaurant, all waiting to dine, she took a deliberate glance around while waiting.
Most of the tables had no dishes on them, clearly having ordered and waiting for the kitchen to serve the meals,
She thought to herself, when her dish is ready, she might have to wait for a while.
After all, everything has to follow a queue, by the time they get to cooking her dish, it might easily take more than half an hour.
Unexpectedly, the dish came out about ten minutes earlier than she had anticipated.
It was somewhat surprising to her.
When receiving the dish, the waiter raised their eyebrow at her, and Jiang Xin, being no fool, immediately understood.
After all, lately, she would come to this State-owned Restaurant almost every day to order meals twice a day.
Since she and Lin Ye’s staff meals are always bought from this restaurant, the waiter naturally had some impression of her.
So, the staff probably recognized her and let her cut in line.
Jiang Xin actually dislikes cutting in line, but since the waiter meant well, she couldn’t say much.
Besides, this happened inadvertently, so she decided not to overthink it, accepted the dish, and went home.
After all, it was getting dark, and she still had to take the two elders from the town back to the village, which would take up quite a bit of time, so she had to hurry.
So, Jiang Xin gave the waiter a very thankful look.
Then she carried the prepared food out of the State-owned Restaurant’s door, hastened to meet up with Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
Actually, when Jiang Xin saw the number of people inside the State-owned Restaurant, she felt a bit regretful, wishing she had brought Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu to wait inside the restaurant with her.
Otherwise, even though the weather wasn’t particularly cold, they were quite old, and standing outside for over twenty minutes wasn’t good. If they waited inside the restaurant, they could sit on chairs, which is better than standing.
But at that time, nothing could be done.
Anyway, she had already entered the restaurant and couldn’t go out to find them, considering the restaurant was a bit far from where Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu were waiting, going back and forth would mean the dish would be ready by the time they returned.
So, she just hoped the chef could be quick.
Fortunately, the chef was quick in serving the dishes.
When Jiang Xin returned, she found Mr. and Mrs. Fu still waiting for her at the same spot; seeing her return, they immediately stepped forward to take the things from her hands.
Jiang Xin looked down at the dishes in her hands; she was always generous and straightforward, and since it was for three people, she ordered four dishes and a soup.
Moreover, all were meat dishes, and considering the older ones couldn’t eat too greasy stuff, she added a seaweed egg drop soup to the four meat dishes.
With that, it could be considered a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
Actually, these dishes together weren’t much, not to the extent of needing help to carry them.
And even though Mr. and Mrs. Fu were much older than her, it wouldn’t be right for her to let them help carry things, Jiang Xin wasn’t shameless.
So when Mr. and Mrs. Fu wanted to help carry, Jiang Xin quickly said:
"No need, no need, this little bit is nothing for me to carry, no need for you to help."
"Let’s hurry, it’s getting dark fast."
"Watch your step when walking, be careful not to step on any big stones or anything."
"If we wait longer, I wouldn’t mind, but you two are not very agile, if you fall, that would be bad."
