Xu Da led the silent Qi Zhou into Xu Ji Restaurant. The receptionist at the door did not become flattering because Xu Da was the biological father of their leader.

The waiter raised his hands and called out: "Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Da also nodded and ordered: "Open a private room on the second floor. We will entertain envoys today and record it in the public account."

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm sorry, the leader has reduced your public account limit by 20%. Now I'm afraid your balance in the public account is not enough."

Xu Da was dumbfounded, could he still play like this?

My daughter, my daughter, you are really your father’s good daughter! Xu Da lamented in his heart.

Qi Zhou, who was standing next to Xu Da without knowing what to think, finally came to his senses and glanced at the waiter curiously.

This waiter in the Xu family's territory is really courageous. He dared to reject the request of their leader's father.

In Qi Zhou's view, the waiter's behavior was very unemotional. If he were one of his followers and knew that the host was going to entertain guests from afar, he would not have raised the issue on the spot even if the public account balance was insufficient.

Qi Zhou turned his head and looked at Xu Da, wondering what the expression on his face was at this moment, whether he was angry or angry.

However, the expression he imagined did not appear on Xu Da's face. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and bit his cheek. Just when you thought he was about to have an attack, he suddenly sighed and said to the waiter:

"At my own expense, can I pay for myself today?"

The waiter smiled and nodded, of course, and enthusiastically led the two of them to the second floor.

Apart from the health clinic, this hotel is one of the only two-story buildings in Yuyang County.

The decoration of the restaurant is simple and elegant. The decoration is simple and simple, with large square tables and long benches. It is far from the luxurious restaurants that Qi Zhou saw in Zhuojun.

But the boxy furnishings also reveal a unique neatness.

There was no one in the restaurant, maybe it was not time for dinner yet, or maybe the price of this hotel was really not affordable and ordinary people couldn't afford it. There were only a few in the lobby downstairs, and all the private rooms on the second floor were empty.

Xu Da found a private room facing the street and ordered a few more signature dishes from the restaurant. There were five dishes in total, all at his own expense. When he took out the chips, his heartache was visible to the naked eye.

Qi Zhou smiled and said nothing. Looking at Xu Da's expression of pain, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

The food was served very quickly in the restaurant. As soon as the waiter came downstairs, he came back upstairs with a plate of fruits.

Before the things were brought to his eyes, Qi Zhou smelled a refreshing sweetness.

Looking up, the waiter was holding a white porcelain plate. On the plate were bright red fruits arranged in a row and sliced ​​into small triangular pieces.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Qi Zhou asked in surprise.

The waiter explained, "This is our hotel's special pre-dinner fruit. It is only available during this period and cannot be eaten on weekdays. Guests, you are in for a treat today."

Qi Zhou was surprised by what he saw and asked, "This is the first time I've seen this red fruit. It smells pleasant. What's its name?"

The waiter replied: "Watermelon."

"This is a wooden skewer. This watermelon has been peeled and can be eaten directly. Guests, please use it."

The waiter put down the watermelon and then left.

Xu Da was not polite. He spent money. He winked at Qi Zhou, picked up a wooden skewer and inserted two pieces in succession. After one sip, it was full of ice-cold sweet juice, and the heat was gone.

Qi Zhou couldn't help but swallowed, and picked up the wooden stick to taste it.

You wouldn’t know it until you’ve eaten it, but you’re shocked when you eat it. This watermelon is actually iced!

"This restaurant looks ordinary, but I didn't expect it could build an ice cellar." Qi Zhouxuan sighed while eating: "This fruit is really good, juicy and sweet!"

After saying that, he ate two more pieces in a row. The sweet taste made him so happy that he raised his eyebrows.

Unfortunately, the white porcelain plate was too small to hold much watermelon, just seven or eight slices. The two of them finished it in just a few seconds.

Qi Zhou was quite unsatisfied and tentatively asked Xu Da: "How about another round?"

Xu Da shook his head, "I'm not afraid of brother Qi's jokes. If I have another plate of watermelon, my wallet will be empty. This thing is very valuable."

"Of course, if Brother Qi feels it's not enough, you can sell another melon and take it home. It's not very expensive, it's only 500 chips per melon."

Qi Zhou was moved. The price was not too expensive for him, but he didn't know how long it would last. He wanted to take the watermelon back to his lord to try it.

"How long can this melon be kept?" Qi Zhou asked curiously.

Xu Da replied: "It's okay to store freshly picked ones for ten days."

Qi Zhou was overjoyed. When the waiter served the food again, he ordered two melons.

This is because the restaurant has purchase restrictions, otherwise he would like to order five or eight of them so that he can go back and eat to his heart's content.

The first dish is shrimp, kelp and tofu soup. It is green and white with a little shrimp powder and served in a white porcelain cup. It looks very tempting.

Qi Zhou felt that he had to look at seafood again. The seafood in Xu Jiajun Restaurant seemed to have some special skills.

The second dish was a hard dish, a lobster as big as a basin was placed in a porcelain basin and was steamed using the simplest cooking method.

The plump white meat is paired with a plate of prepared dipping sauce, and the shrimp meat is sour, sweet, and slightly spicy. Finally, it is served with shrimp, kelp, and tofu soup. Qi Zhou couldn't stop eating.

When the third dish came, Qi Zhou finally knew why Xu Da's meat hurt when he paid.

This is an octopus, grilled with a secret sauce. As soon as it is served, the aroma penetrates your heart and whets your appetite.

Qi Zhou had only seen pictures of this thing in ancient books. This was the first time he saw the real thing. Although the meat smelled very fragrant, he still didn't dare to take off his chopsticks.

Xu Da liked to see Qi Zhou being such a rustic, so he slowly picked up a knife, cut off the claws of the big squid, and put it into Qi Zhou's bowl.

"This is a rare ingredient. We are lucky to have it. We just happened to find it. We can't see it on weekdays."

Qi Zhou nodded, took a bite, and then fell silent.

"How is it? Doesn't it suit your taste?" Xu Da looked concerned.

Qi Zhou raised his head, glanced at him vaguely, and then turned his attention to the other two dishes.

They are all common vegetarian dishes, nothing special.

But it is precisely because of this that the first three seafood dishes are unusual.

"It is recorded in ancient books that this octopus fish lives in the shallow sea in the hot and humid areas in the south. Although there is sea south of Yuyang, it is still in the north and no octopus fish lives. I wonder where did the restaurant catch this octopus fish?"

"I just took a few bites. The meat is fresh. It should be made from live fish. I wonder how it was transported?"

Listening to Qi Zhou's low question as if talking to himself, Xu Da felt that there are still big differences between people.

The rich people in Yuyang City thought when they ate the sea fish: Wow! It’s so strange and delicious!

But what Qi Zhou was thinking about was the transportation strength represented behind it.
