Chapter 59: Mischievous fox
Empress Running Away with the Ball
Once she heard the word checkout, Xiao Ruâs face turned white. Her little hands tightly grabbed onto Chen Ningâs sleeves.
Chen Ning patted her hands and then said to the waiter with a smile, âYour restaurantâs dishes are not bad, but itâs still not good enough. We arenât satisfied with these dishes.â
Once the waiter heard what she said, he smiled and said, âMiss you may not know, but our restaurant has over two hundred different dishes. We are the restaurant with the most variety and best tasting food in the capital. From the nobles to ministers to even the royal family, they are all filled with praise after eating our food.â
He was very proud of this.
After he took Chen Ningâs money, he didnât dare look down on this master and servant pair. But, once he heard her say that the dishes werenât good enough, he wasnât convinced and couldnât help boasting.
âThen I want to order four special dishes. I wonder, will your chef will be able to make them?â Chen Ning smiled and asked.
âMiss, no matter what your order, as long as it flies in the sky, runs on land, or swims in the water, our chef will be able to make it. Only if miss does not order anything, then our chef will not be able to make anything!â The waiter slapped his chest and said in a boastful tone.
âThatâs good, Iâm more relaxed like this.â
Chen Ning smiled and her eyebrows bent down. Seeing this, Xiao Ru began to whisper in her heart.
Every time she saw the young miss make this fox like smile, someone would have bad luck.
But Xiao Ru could not understand. The one that should be having bad luck was them since they had no money to pay the bill.......
âThen Iâll order something that flies in the sky, walks on land, and swims in the ocean. Un, as for the last dish, letâs order a soup.â Chen Ning leaned back in her chair in a very relaxed manner.
âAlright!â The waiter thought this seemed very simple so he quickly agreed and turned around to leave.
âWait a minute. Waiter, I still havenât finished speaking.â Chen Ning called out to stop him.
âMiss, do you still want to order something else?â The waiter smiled and walked over. He spoke with a very respectful tone.
Chen Ning tapped her chin with a finger and slowly said, âFor the first dish, something that flies in the sky. A phoenix could be considered a bird, so letâs order a phoenixâs nest. The second dish, something that runs on land. I wish to taste the egg of the legendary phoenix, so Iâll order a phoenixâs egg. The third dish, something that swims in the ocean. Since it is currently the spring, letâs have a peach flower mandarin fish. It is the perfect time to eat a mandarin fish, so letâs have a squirrel mandarin fish cooked. As the for the fourth dish, letâs just have a simple soup. As long is itâs tasty, good to look at, and nice to listen to.â
âWh, wh, wh......what?â
As Chen Ning spoke, the waiterâs chin fell to the floor. Once she finished, the waiterâs mouth was large enough to fit an entire egg inside.
He had been working as a waiter for Tai He Floor for over two years now, he had never heard of the dishes this guest had just named. This was definitely the first time they had even been heard of!
What phoenixâs nest, phoenixâs egg, and squirrel mandarin fish......Not to mention seeing these things, he had never even heard of them before.
Even that tasty, good looking, and nice to listen to soup, that seemed like it was even more impossible!
âDid you not hear me? Then do you want me to name the dishes again for you?â
Seeing how the waiter was standing there in a daze, Chen Ningâs lips pulled back and she revealed a large smile.
âI, I heard you.â The waiter finally forced his mouth to close.
He looked on in a daze at Chen Ningâs smiling face. No matter how he looked at her, he could only see her as a mischievous fox.
