In the dining area of this mall, there is a newly opened Dragon Palace Seafood Buffet Restaurant.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan followed Lao Xia to the eighth floor. When they walked into the restaurant, they were immediately surprised by the luxurious decoration and design inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is the seafood area on the left that attracts customers' attention.
In the neatly arranged water tanks, king crab, Boston lobster, abalone, shellfish and other various ingredients are all fresh.
To the right of the food area is the kitchen area. Through the bright and clean transparent glass, you can see the chefs inside wearing white kitchen clothes and high hats, busy making various delicious dishes.
The overall decoration is mainly in warm colors, and the sound system in the restaurant plays gentle and melodious music to give customers a better dining experience.
Although it is a buffet restaurant, customers do not need to get their own food.
There are dedicated waiters at every two tables, all of whom look relatively young. Customers only need to take the menu to order, and the waiter will deliver the dishes quickly.
Qin Tian looked around and felt that the restaurant was very large, probably about two thousand square meters.
It is now past one o'clock in the afternoon, already past lunch time, and the dining tables in the lobby are still nearly half full, most of them are business people dressed in suits and leather shoes.
"boss!"
A middle-aged man walked over quickly, bowed slightly, and greeted Xia Zhengping respectfully.
"Lao Qiu, this is my daughter Xia Nuannuan and her boyfriend Qin Tian. Please find a private room for us to have a meal."
Lao Xia introduced it casually.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked at Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan in surprise.
"He's the manager of this store!"
Xia Zhengping turned to look at Qin Tian and the two of them and said something.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan said hello politely, and Manager Qiu responded with flatterment, and then ordered a waiter in the store to prepare private room No. 1 resolutely.
"Boss, please go in and take a seat first!"
Manager Qiu looked at Lao Xia and said.
"Okay, just look at the arrangement of the dishes, and get a bottle of good wine I left in the store!"
Xia Zhengping ordered with a smile.
"clear!"
Manager Qiu smiled and nodded, and then went to work.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan followed Lao Xia into Private Room No. 1.
The private room is naturally more magnificent than the lobby, with crystal chandeliers, a large round table, and bright floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the city below.
The dining table is very large, with more than a dozen seats, and the three of them only sit in a small corner.
After placing the three tablewares, the young waitress was busy pouring cups of tea for the three of them. Her hands and feet were very quick, and she was obviously an experienced employee in the store.
"Boss, do you need a menu?"
"No, Lao Qiu has already made arrangements."
"Okay, then I'm outside, just call me if you need anything."
After saying that, the waitress quickly exited the private room.
"Uncle Xia, how much does it cost per person here?"
Qin Tian took a sip of tea and asked out of curiosity.
This free tea is obviously not a bargain when you drink it.
"588, except for a few that are really too expensive, there are no limits on other ingredients!"
Xia Zhengping replied with a smile.
Qin Tian nodded suddenly: "It's not too expensive!"
What he said was true. It was originally a high-end route. According to the grade and style of this store, as well as the quality of the ingredients, the price was indeed very conscientious.
"We now have a total of five stores in Jiangcheng, all at this price!"
Xia Zhengping added and asked: "How are the conditions of your three Internet cafes?"
"It's pretty good so far. Brother Zhao called me a few days ago and said that based on the current profit situation, it will take about two months to get back the money."
"Isn't it just four months to get back the money? The profit is so high?"
"Well, the main reason is that we held a game competition event before, which opened up the popularity of the Internet cafe. The membership base of the store grew rapidly, and the funds were withdrawn relatively quickly."
"Okay, it seems you have a good vision. Although I don't understand this industry, the cost recovery speed is exaggerated."
"It's mainly due to Brother Zhao!"
Qin Tian smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper. I leave everything to him. I'm so embarrassed. I'm going to show up tomorrow and treat Brother Zhao to a meal!"
"Hahaha...that's how it should be!"
Xia Zhengping laughed heartily and nodded.
The two of them laughed and chatted casually, and the atmosphere was obviously much better than the previous meetings.
Next to Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan quietly watched the two most important men in her life talking happily, with a sweet and charming smile on her pretty face.
After a while, Manager Qiu pushed a dining cart over, and the waiters brought various seafood cooked in the dining cart to the table.
King crab, cross-border star spot, steamed Boston lobster, lobster sashimi platter, abalone, sea cucumber and fish maw are stewed in a thick soup with precious ingredients.
Qin Tian had never tasted such an extremely luxurious seafood feast in his previous life.
"Come on, Xiao Qin, you're welcome, just get started!"
Lao Xia shouted with a smile on his face.
"okay!"
Qin Tian smiled heartily, and without any intention of being polite, he directly took the crab leg of a king crab.
The chef has completely processed it, and the crab leg meat is exposed, with half of the shell underneath.
Under Lao Xia's pleased gaze, Qin Tian first placed the crab leg on Xia Nuannuan's dinner plate.
Xia Nuannuan has naturally eaten such a seafood feast countless times, but what Qin Tian brought to her made her feel that it tasted better.
At the same time, Manager Qiu opened the bottle of valuable Moutai, poured a glass for each of them, and then exited the private room.
"Come on, come on, Xiao Qin, let's go."
Lao Xia raised his glass to drink.
Qin Tian quickly followed up with a toast, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Uncle Xia, the car will arrive later..."
"It's okay, I'll just arrange for someone to drive it back!"
"Um!"
The two clinked glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Qin Tian picked up the wine bottle next to him and continued to fill it up.
"Xiao Qin, try that soup, it's my favorite!"
"Okay, let me have a bowl first!"
"Give me your bowl and I'll help you get it!"
Xia Nuannuan said with a sweet smile.
Qin Tian and Lao Xia smiled at each other and handed the bowls over one after another.
Xia Nuannuan served two bowls of seafood soup full of dry ingredients, and then made some soup for herself.
She is actually tired of eating most seafood, and prefers some soup.
After drinking the soup, Xia Nuannuan peeled the lobsters for Qin Tian with bare hands.
Whenever he saw his daughter putting the peeled shrimp meat on Qin Tian's plate, Xia Zhengping couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and took a small sip on his own without asking Qin Tian to drink.
Although he now supports the relationship between the two, he will still inevitably be jealous when he sees his daughter serving Qin Tian like this.
