Chapter 125 Dining out
A group of people walked out of the school, and the streets were instantly filled with people, crowded and congested.
Lin Youcai asked everyone to go to the Information Square to see what part-time jobs were available today. Those who wanted to work went there.
"Mom, what are we going to eat?" Lin Zisu pulled Shen Xianglan forward.
Without waiting for Shen Xianglan to answer, Old Lady Wang said quickly, "We just had meat buns and meat noodles this morning, so let's have a pancake for lunch. The pickled cabbage I bought yesterday goes well with the rice, and it tastes really good with the pancake."
Shen Xianglan interrupted her daughter and said, "There are too many people here. Let's leave this street first."
When Lin Zisu and the others arrived at the Information Square, they saw the sign in front of it was filled with people in three layers inside and outside.
Lin Zisu: "It's hard to squeeze in, let's go have lunch first and then come back and watch!"
"When you come back from lunch, there won't be any good jobs for you. They've all been taken!" Old Mrs. Wang stood on the street anxiously, seeing that she couldn't squeeze in.
Lin Zisu looked at her in surprise, "Grandma, are you going to work?"
"How will you eat if you don't work? Just opening your eyes costs money!" Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at her.
"Grandma, you're not going to work too, are you?" Lin Zisu turned and looked at Grandma Ye.
Old Mrs. Ye looked at her with amusement and shook her head, "I don't have time to work, I need to take care of Dada."
Lin Xianwen looked at his grandfather, grandmother, grandmother and grandfather and said, "We just arrived here and we are unfamiliar with the place. You can only understand half of the Mandarin, but you can't understand the local dialect at all. You can't speak the Mandarin of the country, nor the local dialect. You old people can have lunch and walk around. If you are tired, go back to the temporary residence to rest!"
"Yes, Dad and Mom, don't go to work. There are so many people at home, how can we let you go to work!" Shen Xianglan was not worried that her parents would go to work, but she was mainly worried about her parents-in-law.
She thought of the belongings in the temporary residence and said, "We are all working outside. What about the luggage, cars, and livestock in the temporary residence? If something is missing, where can we find someone to compensate? We can only accept the loss! The livestock still need someone to feed and take care of them. Can we ask the staff of the temporary residence to take care of them?"
"It's your own animal, you can take care of it yourself, why spend money! I'll go feed it when I get back." Old Man Lin heard the fourth daughter-in-law say that he would hire someone to take care of it, and he quickly expressed his opinion. The fourth couple is good in everything, but they spend money lavishly.
"That's right! We came out, and there's no one from our group in the temporary residence. I have to go back quickly! There are so many people at home, so there's no need to hire anyone. The livestock can be fed easily." Old Mrs. Wang said and wanted to go back immediately.
"Grandma, don't worry, let's have lunch first and then go back. We still have to buy fodder for the livestock, otherwise what will we feed them?" Lin Zisu pulled Grandma Wang forward.
Lin Xianwen: "I asked, the temporary residence has fodder for sale, it's not expensive. I'm not familiar with the place, so I just buy fodder from the temporary residence."
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Lin, you guys go shopping, we're going to buy some things." Shen Jingfu said with a smile.
Old Man Shen: "My dear in-laws, my dear mother-in-law, please come and see me for the time being!"
Old Lady Ye: "See you later!"
Old Man Lin: "Oh, okay, go ahead and get busy."
Old Lady Wang: "See you later."
Shen Xianglan warned her parents: "Then be careful!"
Lin Zisu: "Be careful and be safe!"
Lin Xianwen waved his hand: "See you later!"
The Shen family walked towards another street, while the Lin family continued to move forward.
The group of people chatted as they walked and came to a food street. There are many food shops in Qingshui City, and the street with the most snacks is the one that sells fried chicken.
Shen Xianglan didn't let Lin Zisu buy those snacks, so they found a small restaurant nearby and had a meal together.
The four brothers Lin Youfu took Lin Xianpeng, Lin Xiancheng, and Lin Xianwan, three older teenagers, to the Information Plaza. There were only 4 people left out of the 3 Lin family members, and one table could not accommodate them, so they sat at two tables, with seven people sitting at each table.
Old Mrs. Wang, Old Man Lin, Mrs. Lu, Lin Xianyun, Lin Xianwen, Lin Xianhe, and Lin Xianshan sat at one table, and Shen Xianglan, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Feng, Lin Cuihe, Lin Xiatao, Lin Qiuyue, and Lin Zisu sat at another table.
The small restaurant has a square table and four stools, which can seat 8 people. There is only one person sitting on one stool, and Lin Zisu is eager to sit alone, so that no one can disturb her from eating. In the end, she really sat alone, because her mother knew her too well.
Yang sat with her daughter Qiuyue, Cuihe sat with Xiatao, and Shen Xianglan sat with Feng. Lin Cuihe saw Lin Zisu sitting alone and couldn't bear it, so she wanted to go over and sit with her.
Lin Zisu quickly stopped talking and said, "It's fine for me to sit alone. Grandma, please order the food quickly!" She looked down at her cell phone as she had other important things to do later.
Old Mrs. Wang looked at the menu, reluctant to order anything. She hesitated and ordered three vegetarian dishes. The waiter's face looked visibly unhappy.
Old Lady Wang: "Why are there no steamed buns or cakes?"
The waiter: "Most people eat rice here. It takes longer to wait for noodles."
Lin Xianwen: "I want to eat rice."
Lin Zisu: "Me too."
A bowl of white rice costs three yuan, and a bowl of coarse grain rice costs one yuan. Old Mrs. Wang ordered all the coarse grain rice.
Old Lady Wang frowned and said, "Just these few dishes."
Waiter: …
Lin Zisu ignored her mother's warning look, stood up and looked at the names of the dishes written by the waiter. She twitched her lips and took the menu from the waiter. "We have fried pork with peppers! Add fried pork with peppers, and dried tofu? Add fried pork with dried tofu, and this pepper river shrimp, and a braised fish! These four dishes, plus the three vegetarian dishes we just ordered, make seven dishes per table. Every table!"
The waiter looked at Lin Zisu and then at the adults at the two tables.
Lin Zisu directly took out 200 yuan and said, "I have money, listen to me and serve the food quickly!"
Shen Xianglan said to the waiter: "Go ahead and serve the food as she says."
Lin Xianwen leaned over to look at the list: "Wait a minute, serve all white rice, no coarse grain rice."
Veins popped out of Mrs. Wang's forehead, and she patted her chest to calm down. The others watched, not daring to say anything.
Old man Lin patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted her, "We've all suffered a lot along the way. The children have finally gone to the restaurant, and there are so many of us. If we don't order a few more dishes, it won't be enough!" Although he was also reluctant to spend the money, he had gotten used to the fourth brother's family and couldn't do anything about it. Just buy it and eat.
Old Lady Wang glared at him, "You say that every time!"
Lin Zisu: "Grandma, don't be angry, just eat as much as you want. I'll pay, you don't have to pay!"
"You are not the head of the household, so you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are! Your money? It's your father's money!" Old Lady Wang talked about Si'er, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. How could she give so much money to a child? How could she be a father! She would have to talk to him when she got back!
"My father's money is my money, and my money is still my money!" Lin Zisu had just finished speaking when she felt her mother's deathly gaze.
Old Lady Wang: "Hey, you girl! You are getting more and more outrageous!"
Lin Zisu said slowly: "Grandma, if I take the top three in the exam next month, I will give you half of the bonus, okay! Here comes the food..."
The waiter: "Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, one plate per table."
Lin Zisu: “Rice!”
Waiter: "Rice will be here soon!"
People at other tables in the restaurant looked at them, but Old Lady Wang endured it.
Fresh and delicious dishes were served, and the snow-white rice was served, steaming hot, with a fragrance that hit our noses. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, staring at the food on the table, unable to take their eyes off it.
Mrs. Lu swallowed and looked at her mother-in-law, "Mom, do you want to leave some food for them?"
Lin Xianwen looked at the stir-fried pork with peppers and sniffed hard, "Aunt, my father has money on him, so you don't have to keep it. These dishes are good enough for us to eat!"
Old Man Lin was incredulous. This kid was really... "A table full of food, isn't that enough? Just eat my old bones!"
