2024 Another bowl
I hope your fortune is good and I'll let you go for now.
Ding Ning glanced at Li Boyang and muttered depressedly in his heart.
"Xiao Ding, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills. The taste is completely comparable to the food in the castle in the air."
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Governor Du immediately moved his index finger. After taking a bite of the food, he closed his eyes and was intoxicated with enjoyment for a long time before saying in admiration.
Du Mosheng nodded in agreement. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk, but that her mouth was full of food and she had no time to talk. She had long forgotten her previous bet with Ding Ning.
Qiao Xinyu and Sister Chen didn't even have time to talk. They were like reincarnations of starving ghosts, their eyes were shining, and they kept stuffing food into their mouths, for fear that they would be snatched away by others.
"Haha, just do whatever you want, it'll be okay."
Ding Ning said very calmly, but looked at Du Mosheng with a meaningful look.
Li Boyang secretly scolded Ding Ning for pretending to be coquettish, while he couldn't stop using his chopsticks to scoop vegetables into his bowl. It wasn't that he didn't want to show some backbone, but it was simply too delicious for a weak-willed person like him who was indolent and indolent.
Don't resist the temptation.
He could swear that this was definitely the most delicious food he had ever tasted since he was a child.
However, the fact that this dish was made by Ding Ning made him feel very unhappy. He secretly wrote down the name "Castle in the Sky" and decided to try it when he had the opportunity.
Governor Du saw that Li Boyang was just enjoying the food and had no intention of drinking. He couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and joined the crowd of people grabbing the food.
You must know that even though he is the governor of Ninghai, such delicacies are not often available. Castles in the air, no matter how high or low you are, everything must follow the first-come, first-served rule. No one has any privileges.
Of course, this was his understanding when he didn't know that Ding Ning had reserved a private room for a long time in the castle in the air. Otherwise, he would have laughed and scolded Ding Ning for not being generous for not giving him the privilege of not having to queue up and being able to go there often to satisfy his cravings.
The news about the Castle in the Sky membership card has been spread, and Governor Du also wanted one very much. Unfortunately, as soon as he heard the news, it was announced over there that all the first batch of thirty-six membership cards had been sold, which made him regretful.
Not enough.
Although he knew that Ding Ning had a close relationship with Castle in the Sky, he was really embarrassed to open his mouth to ask Ding Ning to take the initiative to apply for a membership card through the back door.
Besides, even if he has the nerve to open his mouth, it will be a dilemma for the castle in the air. Will they accept his money or not?
Just accept it. People will definitely feel uneasy. After all, he is the governor and it would be inappropriate to accept his money.
But don't accept it. Firstly, it will break the rules of the restaurant. Secondly, he is also worried about being used as a basis to make a fuss, making it seem like a power-for-money transaction, which will be bad for his official reputation.
Therefore, after much thought, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up the idea of going to the castle in the air frequently to perform tooth-beating rituals.
In fact, Ding Ning had long considered giving Governor Du the privilege of not having to queue. However, that would easily give people the impression of being ingratiated with the powerful, and would also destroy the order that the castle in the air had finally established, which would affect the future of the restaurant.
Development is extremely unfavorable.
But now, the situation is different, Castle in the Sky has begun to issue membership cards.
Although only 36 cards were sold in the first issue, it would be difficult for outsiders to get a card, but who is he? Even the female chef is his woman, and getting a membership card is not a matter of words.
Moreover, in addition to the thirty-six ordinary membership cards, Luoxue also specially prepared ten supreme membership cards for him that do not need to be recharged and can enjoy a 30% discount on every purchase at the Castle in the Sky, specifically for him to use as gifts.
You know, ordinary membership cards don’t have
There are any discounts, and you have to pay an annual fee every year. Even so, it’s still hard to get a card even if you’re all over it.
This supreme membership card is different. Not only does it not require recharging, but it also waives the annual fee. More importantly, it also enjoys a 30% discount on consumption.
Of course, Luo Xue also understands the principle that rare things are more valuable, so each branch can only apply for a maximum of thirty-six ordinary membership cards, while the supreme membership card can always only have these ten.
This caused the gold content of the Supreme Membership Card to skyrocket and its value to double. Countless dignitaries and wealthy businessmen were desperately looking for connections and favors, and were willing to pay a sky-high price to buy a Supreme Membership Card from the female chef.
It's a pity that the female chef is not in the mood. She tells them straightforwardly that the Supreme Membership Card is not for sale but only given away, but she can't decide who to give it to. Everything depends on the mood of the boss, and the Supreme Membership Card will be carded.
The identity of the holder is absolutely confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone.
As a result, countless powerful people went around asking who was the boss behind the castle in the air, hoping to gain connections and get a supreme membership card.
However, Castle in the Sky has been managed independently under Luoxue's name since its establishment. There is no information about Ding Ning at all. No matter how they use their connections, they can't find out who the mysterious boss behind the scenes is.
This made them sigh with regret, and they could only give up thinking about the supreme membership card, hoping that Castle in the Sky could open a branch soon, and see if they could try to get a few more ordinary membership cards.
When people reach a certain height, money is often just a number to them. They don't care how much they spend. What they enjoy is the privilege and what they care about is face. If they are not even members of Castle in the Sky, they will be embarrassed to say that they are gangsters.
It's high society.
It has to be said that Xiaoyao's business acumen is really impressive. With her planning and operation, she took advantage of the rich people's desire to save face and took advantage of the opportunity to apply for a membership card to directly raise the level of Castle in the Sky to the top restaurant in Ninghai.
Its level has attracted countless dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen to flock to it.
The Castle in the Sky Supreme Membership Card has therefore become a legend among legends.
In the eyes of outsiders, the supreme membership card is something that is undesirable, but in Ding Ning's eyes it is just a gift to please his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Of course, since Luoxue said that he would only apply for ten Supreme Membership Cards forever, Ding Ning would not give them away randomly. He only planned to give one to Qiao Xinyu. This was also his smart point. After all, Governor Du had a special status, so it was a gift to him.
He is always suspected of collusion between officials and businessmen.
As for Du Mosheng, what kind of card does a woman need to eat in her own restaurant? Just swipe her face.
"Oops, it's time to play the news for thirty minutes."
Just when everyone was gagged by the delicious food and were feasting, Governor Du looked at the time, suddenly screamed, stood up hurriedly, picked up the remote control and turned on the phone.
Ding Ning's heart was agitated. Oops, that's bad. He forgot that Governor Du was in a high position. He must have developed the habit of watching the news.
But now, it's too late to say anything. I can only hope that everyone is too busy eating delicious meals to watch TV.
"Give me another bowl of rice."
Governor Du finished the rice in a few mouthfuls, stared at the TV without blinking, and handed the empty bowl to Qiao Xinyu.
Qiao Xinyu rolled her eyes. She was eating so deliciously. She couldn't bear to leave the table. However, in front of outsiders, her husband's face still had to be maintained. She reluctantly stretched out her left hand to take the bowl, but her right hand still refused.
I forgot to put a piece of sweet and sour pork in my mouth.
"I'll do it."
Ding Ning grabbed the bowl and went to the kitchen to serve the meal with a wink. It was not that he was diligent or that he wanted to curry favor with anyone, but that he had a guilty conscience. After all, the rebroadcast of the news was the result of his secret operation, and evasion was also a subconscious behavior.
"Why do I have the nerve to trouble you?"
Qiao Xinyu said she was embarrassed, but there was no expression of embarrassment on her face. She could eat vegetables without rice. Who told Ding Ning to cook so deliciously? She was reluctant to leave the table anyway.
"We are all our own people, why should we be so polite?"
Ding Ning said casually.
"That's right, we are all our own people, why are you so polite? That Xiao Ding, right? Bring me a bowl by the way. This dish is really delicious."
Sister Chen touched her round belly. Although she knew she was full, she felt that she could still eat another bowl, and said with a shy face and a dry smile.
"Okay, no problem."
Ding Ning smiled and agreed without taking it seriously, taking the empty bowl from her.
He turned to Du Mo Sheng and said, "Mo Sheng, I'll give you another bowl."
Du Mosheng looked at the delicacies on the table with a confused expression, and said with some embarrassment: "Am I too good at eating?"
"Why should I be afraid if I can eat? I'm afraid I won't be able to feed you."
Ding Ning smiled and said with something in mind.
Du Mosheng's face suddenly turned red. She glared at him in shame and spat, "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."
"Auntie, Mo Sheng scolded me."
Ding Ning complained to Qiao Xinyu with a face full of grievances, which made Du Mosheng's eyes widen in disbelief. Is this guy a kid from kindergarten? He can even act cute and make a report.
"Mo Sheng, why are you talking to your brother Ning? This kid really needs to be dealt with."
Qiao Xinyu pretended to be angry and lectured, but she was happy in her heart, thinking that after they got married, she must live with them, otherwise she would not be able to eat the delicious food cooked by her son-in-law every day.
"Yes, yes, girls should be reserved, and they should also pay attention to propriety when acting coquettishly with their boyfriends."
Sister Chen had a very good impression of Ding Ning. She ignored the passerby Li Boyang and agreed with an ambiguous wink.
Du Mosheng's whole body was in a mess. This misunderstanding seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. Even Aunt Chen thought that Ding Ning was her boyfriend.
She secretly glanced at Li Boyang, who had a livid face and was immersed in eating without saying a word. He felt slightly guilty in his heart. This was his real boyfriend. Did his mother and Aunt Chen go too far?
"No, Aunt Chen, he is not..."
Just when Du Mosheng decided to explain so as not to embarrass Li Boyang, Ding Ning suddenly interrupted her: "Mo Sheng, come here, I have something to tell you."
"What for? Is there anything you can't say here?"
Du Mosheng muttered dissatisfiedly, but stood up unsatisfactorily and followed Ding Ning into the kitchen. Of course, he did not forget to take his empty bowl and add a bowl of rice.
"Mo Sheng, help me get a bowl of rice by the way. Dr. Ding's cooking skills are really good. Even if you lose your job in the future, you won't starve to death as a nanny or something."
Li Boyang couldn't bear it any longer. He handed the empty bowl to Du Mosheng with a sullen face and said sarcastically.
"That's right, with my cooking skills, I won't be hungry anywhere I go, so I don't need to rely on women for food."
Ding Ning was not annoyed and replied tepidly.
Li Boyang shuddered, relying on women for food? These words immediately hit the most sensitive part of his heart, and he stared at Ding Ning with a guilty look on his face. Could it be that he knew something? No, no, it couldn't be, it should be just a coincidence.
Just a coincidence.
