Chapter 261 Su Ji's Dinner(1/2)
Chen Qingluo did not leave Liu Wanhua's shop all afternoon and helped Liu Wanhua greet all kinds of guests who came in. If there were no guests, she would learn some embroidery knowledge from Liu Wanhua.
Being by Liu Wanhua this afternoon really made Chen Qingluo feel like he was by his grandma.
As the evening approached, the sky outside began to dim, and Liu Wanhua took a look at the time of the watch on her wrist.
"Well, Su Ji is about to start business. Let's go and go to Su Ji for dinner first. If you don't rush back in the evening, please stay with me, the old lady, for a while."
Chen Qingluo naturally didn't rush to go back. She didn't have long since returned to China and just joined a design company.
She also came out to play this weekend, so it would be fine to go back a little late at night, as long as she didn't delay going to work tomorrow morning.
"Grandma Wanhua, I'm not in a hurry to go back. After dinner, I'll help you continue to look at the shop. When you close the door, I'll take you back first, and then I can go back."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Where do I want to go back to you girl? I live in the shop."
Chen Qingluo was a little surprised: "Grandma Wanhua, do you live in this shop?"
Liu Wanhua nodded and replied: "Yes, the shops on this old street have two floors, but the one above is a bit short and not suitable for business. So everyone on the old street treats the second floor as a residence or piles up some miscellaneous items."
After hearing Liu Wanhua's words, Chen Qingluo nodded in understanding.
But then, Chen Qingluo was a little worried: "Grandma Wanhua, is it really okay for you to live here alone?"
Liu Wanhua smiled and asked, "What's wrong? I live upstairs and I'm very comfortable alone. If I go to my son and daughter's house, I'll be uncomfortable."
Chen Qingluo suddenly realized that what Grandma Wanhua and her grandma said were still a little different.
According to her grandmother, Liu Wanhua was a very cheerful elder sister who loved laughing, playing and eating, and was very friendly to others when she was young.
And now Liu Wanhua is still friendly to others and still likes to eat and laugh.
But it is obvious that the old lady is not very close to her children, and she doesn't seem to like playing in the playful environment very much.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingluo glanced at the endless stream of people on the street outside, and then asked: "Grandma Wanhua, if you live upstairs, won't the people outside disturb you that night?"
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "No, these old shops have good sound insulation. And although there are many people on the old streets now, there will be fewer people after ten o'clock."
Hearing that after ten o'clock, there will be fewer people, which makes Chen Qingluo even more strange: "Why?"
Liu Wanhua smiled and explained: "Because the old street is now relatively remote, many of the surrounding old communities have been renovated, and it is far away from the commercial area of Huaicheng today, so people from far away must take the last bus back before 10 o'clock."
After hearing this explanation, Chen Qingluo suddenly realized that the old street has finally become the edge of the city.
Without further talk, Liu Wanhua pulled Chen Qingluo and said, "Okay, let's go quickly and go to Su Ji for dinner, otherwise we might have to queue up if there are too many people."
Chen Qingluo naturally helped Grandma Wanhua clean up, then went out together and temporarily closed the shop door.
Walking east along the old street, walking through the bustling crowd, Liu Wanhua walked in front, holding Chen Qingluo's hand behind her.
At this moment, Liu Wanhua seemed to have returned to her ten years, pulling Chen Qingluo's grandmother to run on the street.
"Sister Xiao Luo, my sister has finally paid her salary. Let's go quickly and have a good meal at Su Ji."
This scene echoed in my mind, and Liu Wanhua's eyes instantly became wet, and a drop of tears slowly rolled down.
I didn't go very fast all the way because there were indeed too many people coming with me. Liu Wanhua even felt that there were not so many people in the old street for many years.
It can be seen that many people come here to see the "Frequently Certificate of the Philippines".
Liu Wanhua was also very happy and was also grateful to the TV station for helping promote the promotion.
With such a prosperous scene in front of you, Liu Wanhua believes that the next reconstruction will consider these things and will keep everything on the old street as much as possible.
After walking through the crowd for a long time, I finally arrived in front of Su Ji's door.
Liu Wanhua saw Feng Ruoruo from afar and seemed to be waiting at the door.
When he saw Liu Laolao and Sister Shen coming, Feng Ruoruo quickly waved his hands to the two of them and asked them to go there quickly.
Liu Wanhua came to the door and asked with a smile: "Why is Ruoru standing at the door? Are you waiting for grandma and sister specifically?"
Feng Ruoru said anxiously: "Grandma Liu, Sister Chen, hurry up. If you don't come again, Grandpa's restaurant will be full. Come in and sit down quickly."
The little girl said, reached out and pulled Liu Laolao by her hand, quickly pulling Liu Laolao and Sister Shen into the door.
After entering the door, Liu Wanhua and Shen Qingluo discovered that there were actually many people sitting in Su Ji.
Chen Qingluo was a little surprised: "Is the business so good?"
Liu Wanhua glanced around and said, "Well, it's really much better, and the square tables I changed into are really suitable. They can make young people who come together in three or two and have a separate seat."
While Liu Wanhua and Shen Qingluo were chatting, Feng Ruoruo was already very anxious and pulled the two of them to continue walking in.
"Lady Liu, Sister Chen, come here quickly, you can sit here."
Leaded by Feng Ruoru, the two followed her to a quieter table located near the wall of the restaurant.
Liu Wanhua looked at the surrounding environment and said to Feng Ruoruo with a smile: "Thank you really, Ruoruo, I left such a good place for my grandma. I know that my grandma doesn't like being too noisy."
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "Yes, this was left by Grandpa for Grandma Liu."
Liu Wanhua turned her head when she heard this and saw Su Jinrong sitting in a wheelchair next to the cashier.
The two old men looked at each other, and Liu Wanhua also smiled and nodded to Su Jinrong to express his gratitude.
Then, at Feng Ruoruo's greeting, Liu Wanhua and Shen Qingluo sat down.
After sitting down, Chen Qingluo was a little surprised: "Hey, this chair is very comfortable to sit on. It feels like the waist and back are just supported. It is really a very scientific chair."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "This chair was made by Su Ji's boss at the time. He found a very powerful carpenter and has been using it for almost a hundred years."
Chen Qingluo was surprised when he heard this: "Wow, is this chair on New Year's greetings?"
Liu Wanhua nodded: "Yes, this chair was made by Ruoruo's grandfather when he was a grandfather. It's not been a hundred years since then?"
Chen Qingluo was really surprised to hear it.
Not long after, Su Ruoxi came over with the menu and handed it to Liu Wanhua, standing aside and saying, "Aunt Liu, what dishes do you want to order today? Take a look first."
Seeing the menu in Liu Wanhua's hand also surprised Chen Qingluo, because the menu was actually handwritten.
Liu Wanhua was a little surprised when she saw Chen Qingluo and explained with a smile: "The menu of Lao Su Jishi is written every day, because the main dishes on the menu will be different every day."
When Chen Qingluo heard this, he couldn't help but feel that Su Ji really looked like a high-end Western restaurant.
Liu Wanhua continued: "In the past, Su Ji's menu will have various changes according to the ingredients of the four seasons, so the menu cannot be fixed, so you can only write it before opening every night."
When Liu Wanhua said this, she said to Su Ruoxi, who was standing aside, "Let's get a squirrel mandarin fish first."
When Chen Qingluo heard the squirrel mandarin fish, he immediately said, "My grandma likes to eat this, too."
Liu Wanhua looked at Chen Qingluo and said, "I know, your grandma liked Su Ji's squirrel mandarin fish the most. When I got my salary every month, I would bring her to Su Ji for food. Sometimes I only order this dish."
Chen Qingluo was not surprised at all, because she heard her grandmother mention this part when she was a child.
At that time, Liu Wanhua's apprenticeship salary was very low. After the two were educated by their senior sister, Chen Qingluo's grandmother did not dare to let Liu Wanhua spend too much money, so they agreed to come to Suji once a month and order only one dish: squirrel mandarin fish.
Liu Wanhua sighed: "At that time, it may only be eaten once a month. We are not tired of eating the squirrel mandarin fish dish."
Chen Qingluo vaguely seemed to be able to imagine that picture.
A female apprentice who had just entered the factory in the past ten years led her senior sister's teenage daughter to Suji to order a plate of squirrel mandarin fish.
Maybe when serving squirrel mandarin fish, two girls, one big and one small, would shine and stare at them for a while. Then they would move their chopsticks together, and they would eat with one chopstick and one chopstick.
After ordering the squirrel mandarin fish, Liu Wanhua took a look at the fried shrimp on the main dish and ordered a plate.
"Stir-fried shrimps are also Su Ji's specialty. Your grandma and I didn't understand the goodness of this dish at that time. Later I realized that this dish is not something that can be eaten casually."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "I bought fresh shrimp today, so this dish is here."
Then Liu Wanhua naturally ordered two of her favorite tofu fish lion heads.
"This dish is different. This dish is a dish that is now a scoop here. It is specially designed for the boss lady, but I really like the taste, so you can try it."
Chen Qingluo did not refuse, so he naturally agreed to try it.
Finally, Liu Wanhua saw an interesting dish on the menu, lotus pond lotus belt.
She immediately ordered this dish: "Finally, let's have another plate of this, lotus pond lotus root belt, this should be the new dish today, right?"
Su Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, it's a fresh lotus belt, which Yifan bought from the market in the morning."
When Chen Qingluo saw that he ordered four dishes, he quickly said, "Grandma Wanhua, enough is enough, we are only two of us, and we can't finish it even if we order too many dishes."
Su Ruoxi helped and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, except for squirrel mandarin fish, the other dishes are not large in size. You and Aunt Liu will definitely be able to finish eating. I'm afraid you won't be full."
Liu Wanhua smiled and returned the menu to Su Ruoxi: "It doesn't matter, let's go to these four dishes first. If you can't eat enough, then give me another staple food."
Su Ruoxi took back the menu and agreed with a smile: "Okay, then let's go to these four first, please wait."
As soon as my mother finished speaking, Feng Ruoruo immediately jumped out and stretched out her hand and said, "Mom, I'll give it to my father quickly, so that Lao Lao and Sister Shen can be the first to eat it."
Seeing Feng Ruoruo popping out, Chen Qingluo felt that this little girl was particularly cute as she looked at her.
He reached out and pulled the little girl into his arms. Chen Qingluo asked, "Children Feng Ruoruo, where did you go just now?"
Feng Ruoru said in Sister Shen's arms: "I just went to see my grandfather. It would be boring to sit by the cashier alone. Ruoru could go over and chat with him."
Chen Qingluo turned his head and looked at the cashier. When he saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair, he felt a little lonely.
Then Chen Qingluo said, "Ruoruo is really amazing. He can help his parents and take care of his grandfather. He is such a sensible and good child."
After receiving praise, Feng Ruoruo smiled: "Thank you, Sister Chen."
