Anyway, in Dong Fang's opinion, she was much more proficient than her grandson, Bao Wenli. Granny Jin's Chinese name, Jin Hua, was given by herself. As for her Miao name, it was too long. Anyway, Dong Fang felt that if she called it every time, she would definitely waste a lot of saliva.
Generally, Dong Fang called her by her Chinese name, and Granny Jin had no problem with that.
This time, she came to Chengdu because she was invited by Dong Fang. It was the last day of the year, and also the last day of the year when Dong Fang learned simple embroidery from Grandma Jin. It was definitely a day worthy of celebration. This was definitely a business affair, not a private affair. It couldn't be better to go to Master Chef Restaurant for a meal.
"It's good that you're not in a hurry. This time, I'll take you to eat at the best restaurant in our country. The dishes there are really delicious. You'll know when you eat."
Dong Fang led them to the place where she parked her car while talking about some daily life to prevent Granny Jin from being nervous.
Granny Jin was more fashionable, but she had fewer opportunities to leave Yibin City, and was not familiar with other places. Naturally, she was at a loss when she was in a strange place. Fortunately, her grandson was accompanying her, so it was fine.
The nervousness in her heart lessened with Dong Fang's nagging. There were not many opportunities to meet Dong Fang face-to-face. Most of them were video calls. After all, Dong Fang was really busy, but they had also built a deep relationship in the past year.
"Don't be so polite, Xiao Fang. Is the best in the country very expensive? We can just eat casually. There's no need to spend so much money." Granny Jin was a little uneasy.
Old people did not like to trouble others. Granny Jin was afraid that Dong Fang would spend too much. It was not easy for a little girl to work hard outside. It was better to save as much as possible. This time, if Dong Fang had not reminded her time and again that she had to buy tickets and book rooms, and that she could not refund the money and adhere to the principle of not wasting money, although Granny Jin was unwilling to come because it was too troublesome, she still came.
When she heard Dong Fang say the best, her first reaction was not that it was delicious, but that it was too expensive. She had been thrifty all her life, and it was impossible for her to suddenly become extravagant in her old age. However, she did not have a particularly deep relationship with Dong Fang, and she did not think that she had helped Dong Fang much. Even if she did not agree, she was careful when she raised her opinions.
"Don't worry, Granny Jin. The things at Boss Yuan's place are not expensive. They are very cost-effective. Don't worry," Dong Fang said.
She wasn't lying. Although the restaurant's food was indeed more expensive than other restaurants, it wasn't that expensive after factoring in the ingredients.
Grandma Jin didn't know about the twists and turns in this matter. When she heard that it was not expensive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. However, she still muttered, "Why is it the best and it is not expensive? Where can I find such a good thing? Xiaofang must have been cheated because of her young age."
Although Bao Wenli, who was next to her, looked honest and could not speak Mandarin well, he could understand it fluently. He had also worked in the factory, so he had some experience. He did not believe Dong Fang's words that delicious food was not expensive. But this time, he was just a foil. His main task was to take good care of his grandmother, and other things were not important.
After Dong Fang led Grandma Jin and Bao Wenli to her own car, she walked according to the pre-planned route.
It was only ten o 'clock in the morning. It seemed to be far from the time to line up, but the closer they got to Taoxi Road, the more traffic there would be. In order to arrive on time and not let Grandma Jin feel troublesome, Dong Fang had studied the route repeatedly last night.
Dong Fang had studied the route in advance and was familiar with the road conditions. Moreover, it was not the rush hour yet. When Dong Fang drove the car to the huge parking lot opposite Taoxi Road, it was not too late. She could walk there leisurely.
Although Grandma Jin walked slowly, she had the advantage of time. When they arrived, they had not started to line up. However, when she saw the not very big shop not far in front of her, the nervousness that she had felt since she stepped into Taoxi Road and saw such a bustling scene finally faded from her face.
In her mind, "expensive" should represent magnificence or resplendence. She didn't think a shop like Yuan Zhou's that had a sense of age was too expensive.
On the contrary, Bao Wenli's face became more and more serious. Seeing that many people seemed to be waiting in line to eat, he felt that it must be very expensive.
When he started to line up and saw the diners in line, he was even more sure that this place was very expensive. The main reason was that he saw several diners wearing watches. He didn't know the brand or price of the clothes, but he paid more attention to the watches he liked. The cheapest watch was a two-digit price, which was very obvious.
As for how expensive it was, he didn't know. If he wanted to know, he could only ask Dong Fang.
Looking at his grandma, who was relaxed and chatting with Dong Fang in a low voice, he didn't ask his question in the end. Otherwise, he could imagine how nervous his grandma would be. However, he still made up his mind. If it was too expensive, he would share it with Dong Fang. He couldn't let a girl pay too much. It was not appropriate.
Bao Wenli had inherited some excellent qualities of Grandma Jin in his bones.
They came early, and it seemed that everyone saw that Grandma Jin was indeed very old, so they didn't squeeze with her. The three of them lined up at the very front, very front. Separated by three people, they could see Wuhai, who was lying on the door.
At first, because Grandma Jin's eyesight was not very good, she thought there was a big pile of dirty things on the door. She wanted to remind the boss to clean it and pay attention to hygiene. She didn't expect that this pile of things could move. When she slightly stretched her neck and got closer, she found that it was a person.
This was very rare for Grandma Jin. After living for nearly 90 years, it was the first time that she saw someone who could lie on the door motionlessly like a gecko. So, until they entered the shop, she looked at Wuhai as if she was looking at a western scenery. It was rare for her to be curious.
With Grandma Jin, Dong Fang chose a table for four and shared a table with Zhang Xin, who happened to be alone in front of her. It was rare that Yuan Yuan didn't come today. Zhang Xin came alone, and she came early. Tomorrow was the first day of the New Year. As the last day of the old year, Zhang Xin felt that she should eat The Kitchen God to end it.
So, Zhang Xin shared a table with Dong Fang.
As soon as they sat down, Dong Fang said, "Grandma Jin, Boss Yuan has authentic Miao dishes here. You can order whatever you want to eat. As long as the Miao people have it, he has it here."
Her face was awe-inspiring and generous. Those who didn't know would think that Dong Fang was cooking today. However, what she said was not wrong. Even some lost delicacies could be found in Yuan Zhou's shop, let alone ordinary delicacies. So, she didn't feel guilty at all when she promised.
"You really have everything?"
Grandma Jin's eyes lit up. Obviously, there was something she wanted to eat, but she didn't know why she hadn't eaten for a long time.
"Yes, we have everything, but some of them need to be reserved in advance. You can't eat them now." Dong Fang thought for a while and reminded her.
Grandma Jin nodded in a daze. No one knew if she heard it or not.
