When she reached the counter, she asked the two children, âHave you thought about what to eat and drink?â
âI want to drink milk tea and eat those fries,â Yunshu said quickly.
âI want double skin milk.â Yuanzhi had a special fondness for this. âAnd chicken nuggets.â
Gu Yundong looked at Eldest Aunt Gu again. The latter did not know how to read and did not know what delicious food there was. She was a little nervous. But with Gu Yundong by her side, she quickly calmed down.
âJust order. I donât know what to drink.â
Gu Yundong thought for a moment and said to the girl, âThen give me another pot of osmanthus tea and a plate of osmanthus cake.â
She said to Eldest Aunt Gu, âOsmanthus tea is good for the stomach. During this season, the osmanthus flowers this year have been plucked and dried. The osmanthus flowers in New Tea Pavilion are all fresh.â
âAlright, Iâll try.â
Gu Yundong said to the girl, âThatâs all for now. Weâll order whatever we want later. We want a private room. The type that children like.â
When it was renovated, there were many types of private rooms. Gu Yundong did not know which one was still empty, so she could only ask the waiter.
The girlâs hand under the counter gently tugged, then nodded with a smile. âAlright, Iâll get someone to bring the guest to the private room.â
The girl first noted down what they had ordered. Then, she found another young round-faced girl and led them inside.
Before Gu Yundong left, she asked, âBy the way, whereâs Su Qing? I saw her yesterday when I came.â
âSu Qing happened to be resting today, so she didnât come.â
Gu Yundong nodded and left.
As soon as she left, she disappeared behind the door.
The girl at the counter suddenly crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it on the ground. âWhat kind of person is she? Sheâs really shameless. Sheâs so annoying.â
Another slightly older girl happened to walk behind the counter. When she saw this, she could not help but ask, âWhat happened? Who made you angry and threw the order away?â
As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up the paper. He placed it on the table and smoothed it out.
However, the ink on it had completely smudged the words. It was impossible to see what the customer had ordered.
The girl could not help but frown. âXiao Yi, what does it say?â
âWhat do you care what she wrote? Huh.â
The lady frowned even more badly. âWhatâs going on? This customer offended you and made you have such an attitude? This wonât do. The boss has said that anyone who comes is a guest and has to be treated well.â
âAiya, Sister Lan, you donât understand at all?â Xiao Yi snorted. âWhat kind of guests are they?â
âWhatâs going on?â
Xiao Yi glared at her fiercely. âYou donât know, but that woman came yesterday too. Before noon, she came to the shop and ordered two cups of milk tea. One was hers, and the other was her maidâs. Then, the two of them sat in that corner of the hall for the entire afternoon. They didnât move at all.â
The more Xiao Yi spoke, the angrier she became. âLook at those young ladies and madams who came to our place. Which one of them would sit at the same table as a maidservant and drink tea? Only those ignorant and dilapidated families are so impolite.â
Wei Lan felt that this was wrong. âXiao Yi, thereâs no rule in our shop that you canât sit with a maidservant.â
âWhat do you know?â When Xiao Yi saw her retort, her tone could not help but become heavier. âThereâs something even worse.â
