Return To 1998

Chapter 495: The truth (supplement 15)

Inviting Xu Tongdao and others into the box, Jiang Meili turned around and said to a waiter in the corridor: "Xiaoya! Go and call Mr. Zhang, saying that the distinguished guest he invited has arrived at noon, go!"

"Ah, okay, lady boss."

After finishing the order, Jiang Meili returned to the box and resumed his enthusiastic attitude. He personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for Xu Tongdao, Tang Qing, and Xi Dongyang.

He was still saying enthusiastically: "Come on! Mr. Xu, taste it! This is the barley tea that your brother Sheng recently obtained through a friend relationship. You can taste it! It is said to be used to clear the heat and remove the fire. You can also scrape the oil. Oh hey."

Xu Tongdao sounded funny, shaved oil? How many women pursue a lifetime goal.

"Okay! Thank you sister-in-law."

He took the tea cup that Jiang Meili had brought him with both hands, and Xu Tongdao sniffed it, and he did smell the fragrance of wheat, the light yellow tea soup, which looked good, and there were a few bars of barley floating in the tea soup.

"Not bad! Very fragrant!"

He gave a polite compliment. He took a sip, a little disappointed, and the taste was quite mild, but the smile on his face was thicker, and he praised in a more sincere tone, "Well, it's delicious! Hey, Brother Xi, Tang Qing , You all taste it! It's really delicious!"

The dramas Dongyang and Tang Qing, who were still too young, were obviously fooled.

When Xu Tongdao praised this barley tea, both of them became interested.

One after another they picked up their tea cups and tasted them.

The next moment.

Play Dongyang: "..."

Tang Qing: "..."

However, everyone is a social person, who is not an acting school?

A faint smile appeared on Xi Dongyang's face, "Well, that's not bad!"

A "sincere" smile appeared on Tang Qing's face, and he praised, "I've grown up so much, and I haven't drunk such a delicious barley tea! Really, it's so fragrant!"

Xu Tongdao looked at her suspiciously, wondering whether she had been drinking barley tea for the first time since she was a child.

Xu Tongdao, who didn't want to continue flattering against his will, decided to change the subject, "Hey, sister-in-law! You and Shengge Zhiweixuan are running well, why are you suddenly interested in hot pot restaurants? You two really want to join my hot pot restaurant?"

Jiang Meili held a cup of tea that he had just poured for herself, sat down beside Xu Tongdao, heard the words, smiled, and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth? Or lies?"

Before Zhang Fan came to the box, Xu Tongdao needed to pass the time, so he said with great interest: "Sister-in-law, you can tell lies first! I'll listen."

Jiang Meili: "A lie! The lie is that our Zhiweixuan business is not good, so your brother and I wanted to join your hot pot restaurant and try a restaurant. Don't you put eggs in the same basket? Yes or no?"

Is this a lie?

Is it true?

Xu Tongdao was a little skeptical, of course, he couldn't really doubt it.

"What about the truth?"

Jiang Meili chuckled, "The truth! Hmm... there are several reasons! One, your brother and I have been thinking that your hot pot tastes very good since we went to your hot pot restaurant last time. , To tell you the truth, I have visited you several times in the past two months after giving birth to your brother. Really! It's really delicious!"

After hearing this, Xu Tongdao smiled and gave her his hands, expressing gratitude for taking care of his business.

"How about two?" he asked.

Jiang Meili: "Second, a franchise store in your store has officially opened recently, right? That franchisee, I and your brother both know each other. On the day of the opening, your brother and I went to congratulate him with a flower basket. The business there is really good, really! So, hey, your brother and I were moved."

Jiang Meili said this very calmly.

The calmness made Xu Tongdao admire.

This is obviously a very practical and utilitarian reason, but she was said so frankly, and because of her frankness, what she said not only did not make people offensive, but made people admire her frankness.

"Are there three more?"

Xu Tongdao asked again.

Jiang Meili chuckled and shook his head. At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and Zhang Han, who was wearing a black woolen coat, came in through the door.

As soon as he came in, he closed the door and took off his coat, and smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Without waiting for someone to answer, he said with emotion: "Well, it's better to be warm in the box, or empty! It's really cold outside!"

"There are so many hot stoves in the kitchen, shouldn't it be cold?"

Xu Tongdao asked in doubt.

Jiang Meili: "We just talked about Chen Laosi’s hot pot restaurant! Mr. Xu just now asked us why we suddenly wanted to join his hot pot restaurant. Hehe, I told him two reasons, true and false, and I just mentioned Chen Laosi. Hot pot restaurant, um, this is the second reason I told him. He just asked me if I still have a third reason. I haven't had time to answer, so why don't you just come in!"

After listening, Zhang burst into laughter.

"Oh, Chen Laosi's hot pot restaurant! That guy has been very proud recently. A franchise store was made by him. When he came to me for a drink yesterday, he even laughed at me for doing catering for so many years and the business here. He's not as good as a hot pot franchise store! Hey! I'm angry when I talk about this!"

After a pause, Zhang happened to answer Xu Tongdao’s question just now, "Oh! Xiao Xu! I don’t want to hide it from you, brother. Now it’s cold and many people are going to eat hot pot. Those who come to us for Chinese food, There are fewer and fewer stoves. At this time, there are not a few stoves in the kitchen! If the stove is not on, it will be cold in the kitchen!"

After speaking, he sighed again.

Xu Tongdao subconsciously glanced at Jiang Meili beside him.

Jiang Meili's expression was a bit awkward.

Because Xu Tongdao just asked her why she wanted to join Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant. When she mentioned false reasons, she mentioned that Zhiweixuan's recent business was not good.

But what Zhang said just now obviously contradicted her false reason just now.

Enduring a smile, Xu Tongdao greeted Zhang to sit down.

Anxious to get rid of the embarrassment, Jiang Meili changed the subject: "Asheng, did you come from the kitchen just now and let them serve the food right away? If you forgot to say, I will give an order!"

With that, she was about to get up.

Zhang Xian raised his hand to stop ~lightnovelpub.net~ you don't have to go! I just said, come! I'll pour the wine for everyone first, and the dishes will come soon! "

With that, he put the woolen coat he had just taken off on the back of the chair, and stepped forward to grab the Moutai on the table.

Open wine bottles and pour wine.

I filled everyone with a glass of wine. As soon as the bottle was put down, the box door was knocked and then opened. Three waiters filed in, each holding a plastic tray in his hand.

There are dishes on the tray.

Steaming hot.

The aroma is overflowing.

The presentation is also very good, but in such a cold season, even if these dishes are done well, they still can't match the attractiveness of hot pot to customers.

Knowing that Zhiweixuan's recent business is not good, and that Zhang Fan and Jiang Meili both want to change their minds, Xu Tongdao's heart has been stabilized.

Knowing that there are no accidents today, this single franchise business should have not gone away.
