The car stopped in front of the rebuilt restaurant.
This case was years old, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xiangxiang, "Let’s go in and have a look."
Little Taotie, "It’s time for lunch, why don’t we eat here?"
Xiangxiang touched her phone, somewhat worried that Little Taotie would eat her out of house and home.
She had just gotten paid, but... according to her spending speed, she might run out of money before the month’s end again.
She wondered if Little Taotie’s food could be expensed?
After the three of them sat down, someone immediately came over to serve them.
The beautiful waitress held a menu in her hand and handed it to Xiangxiang, who gestured towards Little Taotie, "Let her order."
"Thank you, beautiful Miss!" said Little Taotie, accepting the menu.
Wearing a mask, Little Taotie’s face wasn’t fully visible, but her eyes alone were captivating. Coupled with her sweet mouth, the beautiful waitress beamed, "You look first, I’ll go grab something."
She grabbed a handful of mints from the front desk and quickly came back, stuffing them into Little Taotie’s pocket.
Little Taotie tried to refuse, "I can’t accept these!"
The beautiful waitress smiled gently, "They’re just placed at the front desk. Anyone who comes here to eat can take them freely."
Xiangxiang knew many restaurants did this, placing mints at the front desk for customers to cleanse their palate after paying the bill. But with a cashier watching, not many people would have the nerve to grab a big handful — at most, they’d take one or two.
"Thank you, beautiful Miss!" Little Taotie’s eyes curved into a smile, patting her pocket where the mints were, thinking she’d order a bit more.
Little Taotie, pointing at a picture in the menu, "I want this."
The beautiful waitress hurriedly took notes as Little Taotie’s finger moved faster and faster over the menu.
At the last page! The beautiful waitress breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Who knew that Little Taotie suddenly flipped back, "Should get this one too, and this, and this..."
The beautiful waitress gave Xiangxiang a strange look, as if asking with her eyes, "Aren’t you going to stop her?"
Xiangxiang was too busy to exchange glances; she was checking the balance on her phone to see if she had enough to cover the bill.
Little Taotie closed the menu, all smiles, "That’s all for now."
For now? Were they going to order more? The beautiful waitress stared blankly at Xiangxiang, her voice dry, "Are you sure about these dishes?"
Xiangxiang checked her phone balance, grateful she had just been paid recently, and could afford the meal—as this restaurant wasn’t too expensive.
"Alright then, these will do for now."
For now? The beautiful waitress didn’t know how to dissuade them, and finally let out a sigh, hesitantly saying, "Our plates are quite large."
"That’s perfect, we’ll need the big plates to get full," Xiangxiang nodded.
The beautiful waitress frowned, wondering what was wrong with this lady. Couldn’t she understand the hint? The plates here are large, and with so many dishes, you won’t be able to finish them! It’s almost as if you’ve ordered the whole menu!
Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Xiangxiang asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"
"If there’s nothing else, then please go place the order quickly, she’s getting hungry."
The beautiful waitress went to the front desk; the cashier, a middle-aged woman, rolled her eyes at her and huffed, "All you know is how to use the store’s candy to win favor. If you’re capable, go buy your own candy to give away!"
The beautiful waitress was not in the mood to argue with her and handed over her notes.
The middle-aged woman huffed again, took them, glanced over, and was surprised, "So many dishes?"
"Yeah, they said these are just for now; seems like they might add more."
"Twenty people couldn’t finish this, and they still want to add more?" The cashier muttered while inputting, "Are they planning to take away the leftovers?"
