Chapter 402: So noisy, so dirty, so annoying
The teacher in charge didn't quite believe what Su Xing said, but considering that she was a beauty, he reluctantly pulled back the corners of his mouth.
After finishing the test, students can wait for the driving school’s bus to return to the city, or they can leave first.
Su Xing and Xu Yin didn't want to wait until the afternoon, so they said hello to the teacher in charge and left the examination room early.
"Xiaomei Su, let's have lunch before going back?" Xu Yin asked Su Xing.
He was afraid that Su Xing would reject him again, so there was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
Su Xing didn't pay any attention to his tone. She hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "Okay."
The place where they took the exam was in the suburbs, and it was quite far to go back. It was already lunch time, and she was a little hungry. It would be fine for her to eat nearby and then go back.
Xu Yin felt a little excited when he heard Su Xing agreed.
He suggested: "There is a farm restaurant nearby that has a good reputation. Why don't we go try it?"
"Okay, let's go."
Because it is close to the driving test center, the restaurants around here are quite crowded at dinner time, and they had to wait for a while before they got a table.
Su Xing, Xu Yin and others ordered some of the restaurant's specialties.
The portions of dishes in H Province and its neighboring provinces are relatively large. Generally, two people cannot finish two or three dishes.
When they ordered the fourth dish, the proprietress said, "Are you just the two of you? You ordered too much and you can't finish it."
Su Xing put down the menu.
Xu Yin insisted on ordering two more dishes. He said to the proprietress, "I heard that your special dishes are good. We all want to try them. If we can't finish them, we can pack them up."
The proprietress didn't know what to say after hearing this. She wrote the order and went to the kitchen.
Su Xing blushed a little, but tried hard to maintain a calm expression.
Doesn’t everyone who is slightly familiar with her know that she is a huge foodie?
This attribute can't be hidden, alas...
They were eating when two more people came in.
This is a mother and son. The son is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the mother is over sixty years old.
The middle-aged man was wearing a work cotton coat that had been washed so much that the color was almost unrecognizable. There were some paint spots on it, and it was obvious that he was working at a decoration site.
The old lady had a head full of silver hair. She was wearing a very old-fashioned handmade cotton jacket and a large scarf. She was also carrying a flat plastic basket that was empty.
The guests at the table next to Su Xing and Xu Yin had just left, so the mother and son sat down at that table.
The proprietress came over with a rag to clean the table, and also took the menu and handed it to the old lady.
"Auntie, what do you want to eat?"
The old lady took the menu, glanced at it, and quickly put it down.
"This is too expensive! Mom is not hungry, let's go home and eat. Let's go!" The old lady said as she tried to get up.
The middle-aged man quickly said, "Oh, Mom, I'm hungry! I've been working all morning and my stomach is already empty. Please stay here with me and eat something!"
The old lady's butt had already left the seat, but after hearing this, she paused and then slowly sat down again.
The proprietress was a little unhappy after hearing what the old lady said. She wiped the table vigorously and raised her voice, "Oh! How is it expensive? We are famous for our large portions and affordable prices! Look at the dishes everyone ordered, how big the portions are! You two can order a stir-fry or a stew, and we will also give you egg drop soup for free. Add two big bowls of rice, and you two will be full!"
After hearing what the proprietress said, the mother and son subconsciously turned their heads to look at the table next to them, and the first thing they saw was the table where Su Xing and Xu Yin were sitting.
When they saw the two young people ordering a full table, the mother and son immediately looked a little skeptical. Are they sure that ordering two dishes is enough? ?
But looking at the portion size, it seems... quite large!
The old lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Then...give us two bowls of noodles with gravy."
The middle-aged man said, "What noodles are you eating? No noodles, we always eat noodles. I'm tired of them. Let's listen to the eldest sister and order two dishes!"
The old lady moved her lips, but didn't say anything else.
In the end, the man ordered one meat dish, one vegetarian dish, and two large bowls of rice.
The old lady remembered that the boss lady had asked for egg drop soup, so she asked the boss lady twice for soup, and emphasized, "I want a big bowl!"
The proprietress looked helpless and said, "I know, ma'am!"
She wrote the list and headed towards the kitchen.
The mother and son started chatting while waiting for the food to be served.
The middle-aged man said, "Mom, give me some more money and call me. I can ask a fellow villager to bring it back to you, or I can put it into your card and you can ask Xiaobao to accompany you to pick it up. Don't come here all the time. It's quite far and quite troublesome."
The old lady waved her hands anxiously, "That won't work! You can't trust someone to bring money to you even if you know their face! You don't need to send money, I can come by myself, it's not far, I can go back and forth in one day by bus."
She patted the woven basket beside her and added, "And I can also give you some clothes to change, salted duck eggs, etc."
The man tried to persuade his mother a few more times, but found that he couldn't persuade her. He was not surprised, so he sighed and said nothing more.
After a while, the food they ordered was served, and the proprietress really served them a large bowl full of egg drop soup.
The old lady picked up the soup bowl and got herself a bowl of rice. She soaked it in a lot of soup and ate it spoonful by spoonful.
The man pushed the food towards his mother and said, "Mom, eat the food."
The old lady still had rice in her mouth and said vaguely: "Eat it quickly, I don't like those, I only like rice soaked in egg soup!"
The man took a piece of meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mother's bowl. "There's so much, I can't finish it. It would be a waste if there were some left!"
The old lady muttered, "I really don't like it. The meat out there isn't as delicious as the pork we raise at home..."
But she still stuffed the meat her son gave her into her mouth and started chewing it.
After them, another table of guests came, two men and one woman, all around 22 or 23 years old.
They waited for a while for a seat, and after the guests at the table next to the mother and son left, they were arranged to sit at this table.
The two gentlemen pushed the menu to the girl and asked her to order.
The girl had just ordered two dishes when she suddenly threw the menu on the table with a "bang"!
The person who took the order for their table was not the proprietress, but a young waiter.
The little girl was startled and trembled subconsciously.
The girl frowned, looking impatient. "It's so noisy! So dirty! So annoying! Waiter, is there any other seat available? Change our table!"
The waiter's eyes widened, "This is the only table. There are no other seats available."
She was wondering, her shop is clean? How could it be dirty? Besides, this is a small farmhouse restaurant, and it is lunchtime, so isn't it normal to be a little noisy?
Some guests who were eating nearby couldn't help but look over when they heard the noise.
