Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 23
Qi Jianke courteously led the three of them to the third floor of Wanbaozhai.

Going from the first floor to the second floor of Wanbaozhai is a promotion from a vulgar market place to an elegant living room, and entering the third floor from the second floor is a kind of luxurious palace that instantly enters from the elegant living room.

Mixed red and golden tones filled the long corridor, and both sides of the corridor were dark red mahogany doors.

Qi Jianke is very eloquent, he talked non-stop along the way, endlessly, and kept introducing to Nan Wenyun what kind of humanities and arts the building on the third floor was based on, and how much human and material resources were consumed. For the sake of "friendship", he will not invite guests up casually. Guests who come to Wanbaozhai for dinner will have to stand and wait for a table if the first and second floors are full.

It has to be said that Qi Jianke is a very captivating person. Originally, Nan Wenyun was very, very repulsed to deal with him, but in less than a moment, he was dazed by Qi Jianke's flat-out flattery.

Qi Jianke led the three of them into a magnificent private room.

In the private room, the air is filled with the sweet scent of fine agarwood, and the colorful carpet depicts the scene of the heavenly palace dinner.

The slightly lighter-colored lanterns on the four walls were lit with candles by the waiter who had just been called in.

In the center of the private room is a large round table, which can accommodate a dozen people to eat together. For the three of Nan Surou, this table is a bit too big.

Qi Jianke ushered the three of them into their seats, and then routinely took out the menu, ready to start ordering.

Under Qi Jianke's guidance, Nan Surou sat on the mahogany carved chair.

Qi Jianke knew very well that Nan Wenyun was clearly the head of the three, and Nan Surou and the others had never been to Wanbaozhai except this morning. If they were asked to order by themselves, they would not know how long they would hesitate.

Therefore, Qi Jianke stood beside Nan Wenyun, using very seductive words to guide them to order dishes for three people, and clearly settled the score for Nan Wenyun.

Now, Nan Wenyun is a little proud, the meal is not that expensive, the key is that he enjoys the treatment that he could not enjoy in the past, and he can brag about it when he eats and drinks with his friends in a few days.

The first meal is the olive horn snail soup that Qi Jianke began to admire when he was on the stairs. The slightly apricot-colored soup is served in three white porcelain cups, and the fresh and sweet taste permeates the air.

Nan Surou gracefully took a sip with the spoon, only felt that it was sweet and soothed her throat. The white porcelain cup was very small, and the soup was completely consumed within a few sips at most.

Nan Surou sipped her drink while thinking in her heart that she didn't intend to visit Wanbaozhai again today.

But Nan Surou looked at Nan Wenyun's appearance. After returning home, Nan Wenyun might have to drag her into the study to brainwash her first. She didn't give face to her words today, and Nan Wenyun would probably have to act like a strict father She was punished as a routine, and it was fine to ask her to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. She seldom went out, so there was no difference between saying this and not saying it. Nan Wenyun definitely felt that the punishment was not enough.

Therefore, in order to achieve an effective punishment effect, what Nan Wenyun is most likely to do is to prevent Nan Surou from sending people to Wanbaozhai to buy snacks for a few months. This is probably the only thing Nan Wenyun knows about Nan Surou's "Weak underbelly".

But now that she has made up her mind to deal with her brain-dead father, how can Nan Surou let him handle it? Naturally, she should seize all the opportunities. It doesn't matter if she doesn't contact Kane Hu for a few months. The plan will be implemented. up.

Thinking of this, Nan Surou glanced at Nan Wenyun indiscriminately, and saw Nan Wenyun took a sip of the soup in the white porcelain cup, then pushed the white porcelain cup away.

This soup tastes very good, what does Nan Wenyun's action mean?
Nan Surou didn't understand, she glanced at the waiters from the corner of her eyes, and saw that there was a flash of emotion in the eyes of those people, no matter what, although Qi Jianke gave three bowls for free, this behavior could not erase the soup The value of juice, Nan Wenyun's move is a waste.

Nan Surou reminded in a low voice: "Father, is the taste not good?" According to the experience of her previous life, she can tell the ingredients in the soup just by tasting it. There are not only olives and snails, but also There are other ingredients such as ribs to make such an exquisite soup. Even if Nan Wenyun thinks it is taking advantage, there is no reason for a foodie like him to dislike this soup.

Nan Wenyun stroked his cheek, and said indifferently, "It's nothing special, just like lotus root soup. Besides, I don't have much appetite, and there are many dishes ahead, so I can't drink the soup to get full."

Nan Surou had the urge to slap herself twice, she asked Nan Wenyun what is this kind of person doing?The thinking of a fool is incomprehensible. Is this soup lotus root soup?Such an answer can only reflect Nan Wenyun's ignorance and incompetence, because the soup is free, and he feels sorry for the dishes that will cost money later, so drink less, this... She no longer knows what low-end vocabulary to use to describe.

Nan Surou didn't want to look at the faces of the waiters, so she bowed her head politely.

Qiu Yuyin couldn't help but wanted to reprimand Nan Wenyun again, but was stared back by Nan Surou's eyes.

Nan Wenyun didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words and demeanor. After a while, he began to urge the waiter behind him: "Why hasn't the food been served yet?"

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, but he still replied respectfully: "Wait a moment, the younger one, go out and ask the person in charge."

Nan Wenyun put on airs like a grandpa and waved his hands: "Go."

The waiter shook his body, and then exited the door.

After a while, the waiter returned to the room and brought several dishes, such as stuffed tofu in stone pot, braised squab, and steamed grouper.Probably just out of the oven, the Yong Tau Foo is still shaking with the tumbling soup in the stone pot, the bright red puff pastry of the cut squab is still making a squeaking sound of fat, and the steamed grouper is steaming.

The aromas of the three dishes are mixed, the fresh aroma, the aroma of meat, and the aroma of stir-fried vegetable seasonings make people salivate.

Nan Wenyun stared at the stuffed tofu mixed with minced coriander and various seasonings, swallowed, picked up his chopsticks tremblingly, and ate it, as if he had been hungry for days Although the poor people are hungry, because they have never seen such an exquisite dish, their movements are cautious, for fear of splashing a little bit of soup.

After taking a mouthful of hot Yong Tau Foo, Nan Wenyun asked the waiter for sake with a muffled voice while he was still eating. The waiter served the wine in response. Qiu Yuyin and Nan Surou ate silently without any unnecessary reaction.

The son doesn't dislike his father's ugliness, Nan Surou doesn't want to accuse Nan Wenyun of being disrespectful and low-end in his behavior. After all, Nan Wenyun was also cheated by his brother and sister-in-law when he was young. At this age, he doesn't pay so much attention. There is no need to force him to change if he cheats his family, because it is really too difficult to make him change.

Next, the dishes were served faster and faster. While enjoying the delicious food, Nan Surou was also planning her meal plan under the table. Fortunately, Qi Jianke prepared towels for several people, and she used a snail Dai wrote clearly her intention and plan on the hand towel like a silk handkerchief.

The general idea of ​​the plan is that for some reason, she may stay at home for several months, hoping that Kanehu will use a trick she conceived to defraud all the money defrauded by Nan Kangdong. Three-quarters of it will be given to Kanehu as labor and material resources, and the other thing is to hope that Kanehu will operate in the dark to buy back the farms and shops that Nan Wenyun wants to sell. The stalls in the market are not important and cannot be overwhelmed. The price is enough to give up the purchase, but the wasteland must be bought back, especially the price of the few pieces of wasteland in the southern suburbs. The price must be particularly low.

Nan Surou folded the hand towel that she had written, and stuffed it under the plate containing the food remains.

Fortunately, Qi Jianke was determined to encourage Nan Wenyun to order so many things with bones or shells. The bone dish specially used to hold these wastes was too small to hold all the poultry bones, fish bones, and crab shells at once. Shellfish... After this meal, I am afraid that the waiter will come to collect it many times.

While they were enjoying the roasted egret wrapped in almonds, the waiter cleared away the plate for the first time, and the waiter behind Nan Surou took away the hand towel with the content written on it.

When he came back again, it seemed to be a routine to bring Nan Surou a new towel.

Accompanied by this bone-changing plate, the meal served was spicy and spicy crab.

Nan Surou carefully handled the fiery red crabs in the bowl, and picked out the crab meat bit by bit very politely. At the same time, when she was wiping her hands, she opened the towel underneath.

I saw that it was written in Fanbang script neatly: "The plan is feasible, but why must buy back the wasteland, please explain the reason."

Nan Surou frowned, and quickly replied with Luo Zidai under the table: appreciation.

After finishing writing, she pretended to wipe her hands with a towel, folded it again, put it on the table, and then threw the peeled off crab shells into the plate beside her. After a while, it was full, the waiter With a wink, he helped her change the disc again.

When the waiter delivered new hand towels to Nan Surou again, the last big meal followed: a smoked venison prepared with spices such as cinnamon and cloves.

Nan Surou opened the towel, wiped her catkins meaningfully, and glanced at the small print on it: Deal...

Only then did she feel relieved, and looking at the entire dining table, almost only leftovers and the fresh venison were left.

Nan Wenyun ate very quietly, and he was a little full at this moment, so he raised his eyes to look at Qiu Yuyin and Nan Surou. Qiu Yuyin seemed to have finished eating, but kept silent, and Nan Surou also Put down the chopsticks.

Nan Wenyun didn't ask them if they wanted to continue eating, so he said on his own: "Pick up the rest of the dishes, and pay the bill..."
