Because the reservation had been paid for in advance, and also, this private dining place didn't have a menu.
The chef cooked whatever was available, and the guests ate whatever was served, somewhat embodying the idea of "the host dictates the choice."
Before Bao Bao and the others arrived, the female owner of the private dining had called to confirm their estimated arrival time.
So, by the time Yan Yan and the others arrived, the dishes that could be prepared in advance without immediate cooking were already laid out on the table.
As the four of them entered, they saw the freshly prepared lobster sashimi boat placed on the table.
Once all four were seated, Yan Yan suddenly changed her tone, "Bao Bao, thank you."
The somewhat tense atmosphere was completely relaxed by Yan Yan's simple thanks.
"Thank for what?" Bao Bao was somewhat thrown off by Yan Yan's serious yet sudden interruption.
