The restaurant owner was a petite woman from the south with a head of jet-black hair tied up high, giving her an efficient and capable appearance.
Upon seeing Gu Chen and his family of three enter, she hurriedly approached, warmly greeting them.
"Come on in, there's seating inside."
After speaking, she turned around and led the way.
Gu Chen followed behind her, carrying Tangtang.
Ji Pianran was still clutching her cloth bag, nervously trailing behind.
Gu Chen placed Tangtang on a chair before he sat down himself.
Ji Pianran took a seat opposite him.
The busy proprietress passed them the menu, "What would you two like to eat?"
Gu Chen didn't even look at the menu, and casually said, "A steamed egg, a sweet and sour fish, a stir-fried lotus root slices, and an egg drop soup will do."
Upon hearing Gu Chen's order, Ji Pianran's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Sweet and sour fish?
Stir-fried lotus root slices?
These were her favorites, weren't they?
