The other party did not recognize Qiyao, which made her feel especially relaxed.
Qiyao also got to relax completely.
Auntie Lin smiled and left.
After a while, she came over with a tray.
On the tray was freshly brewed tea in a teapot.
There were two small teacups, a small bowl for washing tea leaves, and a filter.
They were placed on the table one by one.
There was also a plate of snacks and nuts on the tray.
“Have some tea and snacks first. The dishes will be served later,” Auntie Lin
said with a smile.
After Auntie Lin left, Qiyao said, “Why is it always Auntie Lin who takes care of these things?”
“Do you know why they only serves three tables of guests every day?” Jingsheng chuckled.
“Because Auntie Lin is the only one working here?” Qiyao guessed.
“Something like that. Auntie Lin’s surname is Xu. Her husband used to be the head chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, because Michelin ratings are given by foreigners, their tastes are actually very different from ours.
Therefore, there aren’t many Chinese restaurants with Michelin stars, and the Chinese restaurants that received Michelin stars might not necessarily suit the tastes of the Chinese people. People go there to experience something new and see how good a Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant can be.”
“In the end, many customers found that the food didn’t seem to be what they expected, and it didn’t suit their tastes,” Jingsheng explained. “Mr. Xu was originally a head chef at one of the restaurants, but after a long time, he realized that their culinary philosophy was different from his own. He still wanted to make Chinese food that truly suited the tastes of the Chinese people, instead of having the Michelin label and have the customers make reservations months or even a year and a half in advance, charging exorbitant prices while the flavors did not suit the customers’ tastes. It could only satisfy some customers seeking novelty.”
“So he resigned and opened this small restaurant here with his wife,” Jingsheng said. “As the head chef, Mr. Xu has already accumulated a lot of wealth, though not necessarily extremely wealthy. After all, there’s no upper limit to this kind of thing. But even if he doesn’t do anything, it’s enough for him to live comfortably with Auntie Lin for the rest of their lives. So they opened this restaurant, not expecting to make money but simply doing what they love.”
“That’s why only he and Auntie Lin are busy in this restaurant. There’s only one auntie in charge of cleaning in the kitchen. Mr. Xu is in charge of cooking, while Auntie Lin is in charge of the front, such as welcoming guests and delivering food. It’s precisely because of this that the two of them only serve three tables of guests a day.”
“This way, it’ll be like receiving guests at home. Moreover, the menu is fixed every day. The customers cannot not order. It’s like opening a blind box. The customers eat whatever the chef serves,” Jingsheng explained. “However, Mr. Xu’s cooking skills are very good, and he doesn’t use strange or unappetizing ingredients, so even if you open the blind box, there’s a high chance that you won’t encounter something you don’t like. And there’s a fresh feeling when opening the blind box.”
Hearing this, Qiyao felt that it was not bad at all.
“How can I make an appointment with this restaurant?” Qiyao asked with interest, thinking that she could bring her family to try it sometime. Jingsheng’s eyebrows twitched. ‘Who do you want to bring over?”
Qiyao did not hear the difference in Jingsheng’s words and replied naturally, “I’ll bring my family over. I think the environment and atmosphere here are quite good. Auntie Lin also handles things very well. She looks like she’s been friends with the guests for a long time, but she’s not too close. Her attitude is gentle, but she is able to leave space for the guests.”
“It’s so quiet here. It’s comfortable to talk about things and chat. Moreover, if you say that Chef Xu’s cooking is good, then it must be true,” Qiyao said. “Ever since I became famous, I rarely get to meet my family outside. It isn’t convenient to go out for meals or anything. Although we can still have meals at home, it’s nice to occasionally change the taste. This place is not bad.”
Jingsheng heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and handed her Auntie Lin’s
WeChat. “Just contact Auntie Lin on WeChat to make an appointment.”
After a while, when Auntie Lin came over with three dishes, she told Auntie Lin about this matter again.
Auntie Lin smiled and said, “Sure, contact me at any time and let me know when you are coming.”
After the end of “My Other Half,” the two of them did not meet as often as they did when they were filming the variety show.
However, although the two of them did not meet, they often chatted on WeChat.
They might not have the time to meet, but they would definitely be able to seize all kinds of time to chat on WeChat.
Moreover, even if the other party went to work, one party would send a message first.
They just had to wait for the other party to finish work and reply.
Because they knew the nature of each other’s work, they could understand the reason why the other party did not reply immediately. They did not feel rushed.
Of course, the most important thing was that they replied to each other’s messages. As long as they did not have a work, they would reply instantly if the conditions allowed.
Since they replied promptly more often, it became evident that if they didn’t reply immediately, it meant they were busy with work and couldn’t respond right away.
Moreover, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. Neither of them said anything.
They had also forgotten who started it.
If they didn’t reply immediately, they would first explain what they were busy with and why they didn’t reply immediately.
They even sent a photo of the scene to show that they were not doing anything else and that there was no misunderstanding.
This made the two of them feel at ease with each other.
They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend yet, but the two of them were already reporting their schedule to each other like lovers.
Although they didn’t say it directly, they were afraid that the other party would misunderstand that they had done something wrong.
For example, when Jingsheng was recording a song and didn’t reply immediately, he would take a photo or video of the recording studio when he came out to prove that he was there.
Whether Qiyao was filming a variety show or a drama, she would send Jingsheng a photo of her during her break.
If she didn’t reply in time at night, Qiyao was probably shooting a night scene, and she would send a photo or video to Jingsheng.
She didn’t want Jingsheng to misunderstand that she was dating someone or attending some ambiguous dinner.
The same was true for Jingsheng.
In short, he had to prove that he was innocent at all times.
The two of them had never said it explicitly, but their actions had always expressed this intention.
Because of the frequent contact on WeChat, the two of them did not feel distant even if they did not meet.
They had plenty to talk about..
