More than 20 years ago, Gan Jiu Mao was invited to attend a banquet at "Qingyuelou".

That day, when he received the invitation notice, Gan Jiu came to "Qingyue Tower" excitedly. He thought a friend was making a fortune and asked everyone to see the world at the best hotel in Lishi City.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Gan Jiumao found several strange men sitting on the dining table.

The friend caused some trouble. In addition to Gan Jiumao, he also invited several other friends to come and raise money to do his job.

Everyone was a little unhappy when they heard this. Isn’t this a shame! Someone turned around and wanted to go downstairs and leave.

When the strange men saw that they could not get compensation, they immediately turned their faces and made a big fuss.

Gan Jiumao has martial arts skills and said that no matter how he said that his friends who grew up together could not suffer any loss. With the help of several other friends, Gan Jiumao quickly controlled the situation.

The people on both sides sat at the dining table and argued for more than an hour. Seeing that the friend could not escape this level, Gan Jiumao and several other friends raised money and finally sent the strange men away.

Anyway, they didn't order any food, so Gan Jiumao and others left "Qingyue Tower" without looking back.

Afterwards, the friend paid back the loan in installments, but that was nearly ten years later. At that time, Gan Jiumao had left Lishi City and worked for someone in Dongqi City.

Since then, the two have stopped interacting.

That was the only time that Gan Jiumao went to the "Qingyue Tower" to attend a banquet.

Looking up at the extremely grand sign of "Qingyue Tower", Gan Jiumao felt quite moved in his heart when he recalled the past.

Many of Mo Saoyun's relatives and friends managed their personal careers very successfully. During festivals, they could not help but invite Mo Saoyun to the "Qingyue Building" for dinner. However, in most cases, Mo Saoyun chose to refuse.

In Mo Saoyun's opinion, the interaction between relatives and friends should be about etiquette and reciprocity. He has lived in Yugu Village for a long time and made a special trip to the city for a meal. If the transportation is inconvenient, he will not say that he doesn't have that much spare money on his hand and then ask for someone.

"Mr. Xia, the food here is too expensive. Why don't you change the other one?" Mo Saoyun understood that Mr. Xia was not easy to make money.

"Sister Mo, I have earned some money recently, and some food here are not sold elsewhere! We don't come often, and we just change the taste once in a while. Please ask for it first!" As he said that, he made a gesture and Xia Xiaoshou asked Mo Saoyun and Xiaoyu to take the lead.

The reputation of "Qingyue Tower" is well-known for Meng Qiting, but Meng Qiting has never entered the gate of this long-known hotel.

A few years ago, Meng Qiting worked at the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of the City and had cured many difficult and complicated diseases. Out of gratitude, the patient's family often invited Meng Qiting to a restaurant for dinner. In most cases, Meng Qiting chose to decline. Sometimes, he could not save face and would go to sit there. However, no family member has ever invited him to "Qingyue Building" for dinner.

The place reserved by Jiang Siyong is located on the fifth floor. A group of six people just walked out of the elevator and happened to meet Ms. Fang Yuejuan, an executive of "Huyuetang".

"Hello, Ms. Fang!"

"Isn't this Mr. Xia? I haven't seen you some days, are you?" Fang Yuejuan smiled and said politely.

"Go out with a few friends and chat later."

"Mr. Xia, walk slowly!" After saying that, Fang Yuejuan respectfully sent Vice President Cui's guest into the elevator with a smile.

Back in the private room, Fang Yuejuan originally planned to tell Vice President Cui about meeting Mr. Xia. Later, she thought that she was responsible for technical research and development and sales matters, so it would be better not to intervene too much.

In recent days, Fang Yuejuan has heard from her colleagues that the sales of medicinal tea on "Qibaotang" are becoming increasingly popular, which has caused the sales of similar products on "Huyuetang" to drop sharply.

If you are not in your position, you will not do anything. Sometimes, it is better to have less than anything else. It is easier to attract trouble if you talk too much.

I counted in secret, including Mr. Xia, a total of six guests. If Mr. Xia treats him, this meal will probably cost a lot of money. It seems that Mr. Xia should have made money.

...

When ordering, Xia Xiaoshu found that the menu actually listed the dish "Shrimp Crispy Dumplings".

"I don't seem to have seen this 'shrimp crispy dumpling' before. Has it been added recently?" Xia Xiaoshu asked casually.

"Yes, a new chef has come to the kitchen. He brought this staple food with him. It has been very popular recently. Do you want to try it?" The waitress smiled and introduced a few words.

"Okay, please order one for each of the guests here." Xia Xiaoshu replied with a smile.

"Okay." The waitress marked the ordering IPAD.

Jiang Siyong ordered two dishes that suited her taste, then stood up and poured a cup of tea for each of the guests present. Jiang Siyong regarded herself as half of the host.

Mo Saoyun carefully selected a dish that she had never eaten before. Compared with other dishes, this dish was considered cheap.

Xiaoyu's family is well-off, and although he doesn't come and go often, he is still familiar with the food in "Qingyuelou", so he ordered two dishes that young people like to eat. Xiaoyu smiled and said to Xia Xiaoshu: "Mr. Xia, I want to work in your store. As long as you control food and accommodation, you can pay less or not, it's all too boring to stay in the village."

Looking at Mo Saoyun, Xia Xiaoshu responded with a smile: "Are you thinking about it? You have to ask your aunt for your opinion!"

"It is indeed not a big deal for a young man to stay in the village all day. If it is quite convenient for you to live here, it is better to let him help you do some small things within your ability." Mo Saoyun replied with a smile.

"The business in the store is getting more and more normal. If he wants to come, please help him pack a set of luggage and I will pick him up another day." Xia Xiaoshu responded with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Xiaoyu was happy at that time.

Gan Jiumao also chose the cheaper idea. After all, he had been to a high-end restaurant. He ordered two dishes that were similar to home-cooked dishes, picked up the tea bowl, and Gan Jiumao tasted the fragrant tea.

Meng Qiting chose two dishes at random, one with meat and one with vegetable. In his opinion, the restaurants made in this big restaurant are just pleasing to the eye, and their nutritional value may not be much higher than ordinary shops.

After thinking for a while, Xia Xiaoshu still felt that the amount of food people ordered was a little small, so he carefully selected five signature dishes from "Qingyuelou".

"So order so much first, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Xia said politely.

"You're polite sir!" After saying that, the waitress turned around and went out to arrange the food.

"Shrimp Crispy Dumplings" won unanimous applause from everyone, and they said they had never eaten such a delicious food. Seeing that everyone was having fun, Xia Xiaoshu greeted the waitress and ordered two more "Shrimp Crispy Dumplings" takeaway for each of them.

Xia Xiaoshu treated the guests sincerely. After "Qingyuelou", the chefs were very skilled in cooking, so the meal was naturally happy.

After the meal, Jiang Siyong drove Dr. Meng Qiting to the pharmacy, while Xia Xiaoshu drove Gan Jiumao and others back to Yugu Village.

After returning from Yugu Village, Meng Qiting was having lunch in the bungalow, and the inside and outside the store seemed particularly quiet.

After a while, Xia Xiaoshu moved a box of wild medicinal materials to the basement warehouse to prepare for delivery...

After everything was done, Xiao Xia thought that she should write something written to reflect the unique characteristics of wild Chinese medicinal materials. So she locked the store door and went out to buy some rough paper at the bookstore next to her.
