It was noon soon. Geng Xiao paid attention to Jiang Changxi's schedule. After she left for about five minutes, Geng Xiao stood up and walked to Tang Min.
"It's almost time. If I'm late, I won't be able to get in line." Geng Xiao walked straight to Tang Min's desk.
"Okay." Tang Min checked the time and then stood up.
"Let's go." Geng Xiao walked in front of her and chatted casually with her.
His attitude was neither overly enthusiastic nor indifferent, giving people a sense of relaxation.
This was also the reason why Geng Xiao could be the sales manager. His way of dealing with people was very likable.
Geng Xiao was very tense and didn't respond to the various envious and jealous gazes along the way.
It was indeed enviable to date a goddess, but this was only the first step.
In a little while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Yuanzhou shop. Jiang Changxi's company was really not far away.
"Boss Yuan, there are so many people here every day." Geng Xiao went up to line up and said.
"Indeed. It's the same every time Director Jiang comes." Tang Min nodded in agreement.
When there were only five minutes left before business time, Mu Xiaoyun looked at the increasing number of people outside the door and suddenly asked, "Boss, why is the Pickled Vegetable Fish called Dongpo Cuttlefish?"
"Um?" Yuan Zhou looked at Mu Xiaoyun with a calm expression.
That's right. Yuan Zhou didn't understand where the Pickled Vegetable Fish came from.
"Isn't the Dongpo Cuttlefish the Pickled Vegetable Fish?" Mu Xiaoyun asked seriously.
Mu Xiaoyun's answer was naturally from the analysis of the foodies in the group chat. Basically, everyone thought the cuttlefish was the mullet and the most common dish of the mullet in Sichuan was the Pickled Vegetable Fish. That was why they made such a guess.
"No." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
"Ah?" Mu Xiaoyun didn't react immediately and was a little stupefied.
Mu Xiaoyun was stunned. Nothing happened, but Yuan Zhou was still puzzled.
After all, in Yuan Zhou's opinion, he thought everyone would think the cuttlefish was the cuttlefish in the sea. He didn't expect it to be a mullet.
However, Mu Xiaoyun didn't have the chance to ask more because lunch time had begun.
"The first 12 customers, please come in for dinner," Zhou Jia said first.
Then, Mu Xiaoyun said the same thing.
"Let's go in too." Geng Xiao turned around and said to Tang Min.
"Okay." Tang Min nodded.
Geng Xiao and Tang Min were not late. They happened to be the eleventh and twelfth people, so they were the first to enter the restaurant.
"Director Jiang." As soon as they entered the door, they greeted Jiang Changxi.
"Here to eat fish?" Jiang Changxi knew that her assistant loved to eat fish.
"Mm." Tang Min nodded.
"Let's go eat." Jiang Changxi didn't say much. She waved her hand and asked the two of them to go eat.
In Jiang Changxi's company, there was no rule that colleagues couldn't date, but she didn't ask.
As Geng Xiao said, it was normal for colleagues to have a meal together.
However, as the two of them were the last to enter, they could only order their dishes at the standing area.
"What do you want to eat?" Mu Xiaoyun went up and asked.
"Fish. Two servings of the newly served fish today." Geng Xiao smiled at Tang Min and then said.
"Do you need anything else?" Mu Xiaoyun asked dutifully.
"Two servings of plain white rice from the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine and a cup of Longan and Red Date Tea," Geng Xiao thought for a while and said again.
"Okay. One moment, please." Mu Xiaoyun nodded and then began to calculate the price.
While Mu Xiaoyun was calculating the price, Geng Xiao said.
"I heard that the Longan and Red Date Tea in Boss Yuan's restaurant is very nourishing and especially suitable for girls. You can try it." When Geng Xiao said that, he was quite natural.
"Okay. Thank you." Tang Min nodded and thanked him.
"Hello. The total is 3664 yuan. 1666 yuan for a serving of Dongpo Inkfish, 98 yuan for the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, 96 yuan for the Longan and Red Date Tea and 20 yuan for the Welcoming Set Meal. Do you want to pay by cash or bank transfer?" Mu Xiaoyun reported everything clearly.
"Bank transfer." Geng Xiao swallowed his saliva without a trace and said calmly.
"Okay." Mu Xiaoyun took the QR code and handed it to him.
"Damn it. The new dishes are so damn expensive. I should have ordered one serving earlier." Geng Xiao paid the money neatly, but his heart was bleeding.
"Let's split the bill. You can treat me to the Longan and Red Date Tea next time." At that time, Tang Min stood out and said.
"Don't say that. I will treat you. You can treat me to lemon water next time. I am poor now." Geng Xiao put away his phone and said jokingly.
Geng Xiao didn't try to be brave. Instead, he said it frankly and straightforwardly, which made Tang Min feel that he was sincere and natural.
"Alright. I will treat you next time." Tang Min burst into laughter and didn't force him.
"That's a deal. You owe me a meal." Geng Xiao said with a smile.
"Got it." Tang Min flipped her hair a little embarrassedly.
Yuan Zhou served the new dish. The first batch of customers were basically regular customers, such as Jiang Changxi and Wuhai. Therefore, many people ordered the Dongpo Cuttlefish.
Even so, Yuan Zhou's cooking speed was still very fast. As he had already settled all the necessary matters, he naturally cooked the dishes quickly.
While waiting, Geng Xiao made use of his humor and talkative nature to make his goddess smile again. He was obviously a flirt expert.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was busy cooking now. If he was free, he might ask for some advice. After all, he was still short of a girlfriend.
"Here is the Dongpo Cuttlefish for you two." Mu Xiaoyun carried a strange plate and put it on the table.
"Thank you." The two people thanked her subconsciously.
"Please enjoy your meal." Mu Xiaoyun left after saying that.
Their first reaction when they saw the fish was, "This doesn't seem to be the Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili." But immediately, they were attracted by the ingenuity and beautiful plate presentation of the dish.
On the table was a half-fan-shaped plate, just like an open fan that had been cut in half.
The open part of the fan was made into a concave circle with a black fish that seemed to be swimming inside.
A person that seemed to be carved out of white jade was standing at the handle of the fan. He was wearing a loose robe with big sleeves. He was slightly bowing with his left hand rolling up the sleeve of the robe and his right hand reaching into the round plate with a writing brush.
The white tip of the writing brush had just touched the broth in the round plate. Starting from the tip of the writing brush, a black and shiny broth flowed out. It was as if the ink had melted in the lake and the fish were drinking the black ink.
The dish looked like a scholar washing his brush by the lake. The fragrance of the ink attracted the fish. The whole scene was beautiful and realistic.
When they got closer, they could smell the fragrance. Only then did the fragrance remind them that it was a dish and not a landscape painting.
"It's so beautiful." Tang Min stared at the dish in front of her in surprise.
"Is this the legend of Dongpo washing the inkstone?" Wu Hai had the most intuitive feeling about paintings. He uttered that immediately.
After being shocked by the delicacy of Yuan Zhou's dishes, Geng Xiao heard Wu Hai's words and instinctively felt something was wrong.
"What's the relationship between Su Dongpo and the Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili?" Geng Xiao was puzzled.
That's right. Geng Xiao's purpose was to take Tang Min to eat the Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili, but it didn't seem to be the case.
