Chapter 11: The Package Room

  The decoration in the private room is also simple, with no paintings on the plain white walls. A purple sandalwood round wooden table is placed in the center, covered with a light yellow tablecloth. On the black tray in the middle of the table, there is a purple clay teapot and four matching tea cups. Next to the tray is a menu, and six high-backed wooden chairs of the same color are arranged around the round table.

  Yan Bo pulled out two chairs and asked Tian Nanyu and Mu Yuxin to sit down, then smiled and said: "Nanyu! Order whatever you want, your friend is here for the first time, I'm treating this meal, don't be polite with me."

  "Alright, Uncle Yan you go ahead and attend to your business! Don't worry about us, I'll order the dishes myself in a bit!" Tian Nuan Yu replied with a smile.

  "Alright, I'll go downstairs and get things ready. You guys order more dishes! Don't be polite to me!" Yan Shu still smiled and said as he walked out of the private room and went downstairs.

  Tian Nuoyu pushed the menu placed on the round table in front of Mu Yuxin: "Take a look and see what you want to eat."

  Mu Yu Xing didn't look at the menu but stared at Tian Nuan Yu with wide eyes: "So you brought me here to eat a free meal, huh!"

  Tian Nuanyu smiled and said: "After I finish eating, I will go pay the bill. No matter how many polite words you say, they are not as good as one practical action, right?"

  "Is he the boss here?"

  "Right, you can call him Zhanggui, he likes others to call him Zhanggui."

  "Is this store new? I didn't know there was a store like this."

  "This store has been open for almost ten years, you rarely come to such places, of course you don't know"

  Mu Yu Xing thought for a moment and then asked: "Are you very familiar with him?"

  "I used to work here before, Mr. Yan is a very good person, he treats employees and customers well, everyone who comes here likes him."

  "Are you a waitress here?" Mu Yu Xin wasn't very clear about Tian Nuan Yu's life experience, and she never thought to care about it either. But hearing Tian Nuan Yu say this today, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

  "I've done it all - serving dishes, collecting money, and washing bowls!" Tian Nuanyu said calmly.

  "It seems like you've done a lot of things!" Mu Yu Xing glanced at Tian Nuan Yu and didn't continue asking, she shifted her gaze to the private room and looked around it in circles.

  Tian Nu Yu saw through Mu Yu Xin's thoughts, she took out two tea cups from the tray and placed them in front of the two people, then picked up the teapot and poured seven-tenths full of tea into each cup.

  "Don't worry, the food and utensils here are very clean, or I wouldn't have brought you here!" Tian Nuan Yu pointed to the teapot and tea cups, then pointed to the table and chairs: "Perhaps you don't believe it, but this set of tea utensils, although not made by a famous artist, is a Qing dynasty imitation of Qianlong style purple sand teapot. The cup and pot are a complete set, and this round table and chair are really made of purple sandalwood."

  Mu Yu Xing picked up the purple clay teapot after hearing the words, took a glance at it, then put it down again. She stretched out her hand to touch the table, with an expression of half-belief and half-doubt.

  She didn't study antiques, and she couldn't tell whether Tian Nuanyu's words were true or false. It was surprising that such an item could be placed in a small restaurant like this, which made Mu Yuexin skeptical, but Tian Nuanyu's serious eyes made her somewhat believe it.

  "If it's really something like that, wouldn't someone have eaten and taken it by chance?" Mu Yuexin's eyes were filled with huge doubts.

  Tian Nuoyu smiled: "How many people can really recognize the goods now? And how many people will believe that something placed here for everyone to use like this would be such a good thing?"

  "That's true, but why did the boss put such good things here for people to use casually?"

  "A pleasure to behold!"

  "What's so enjoyable?" Mu Yu Xin couldn't understand.

  Tian Nuanyu knew that Mu Yu Xin couldn't understand the reasoning behind it, so she smiled faintly and said: "Actually, these things aren't casually given to people for use. Only the three suites upstairs have these items on display. The tables, chairs, and teapots downstairs are all ordinary materials made with modern craftsmanship."

  "What's the difference? Isn't it just sitting upstairs when downstairs is full?"

  "Of course not, even if there's a long queue downstairs and every table is taken, Uncle Yan would never casually invite someone to come upstairs to the private room."

  "Oh? Why? Are all the suites upstairs VIP rooms? Only reserved for VIP customers?" Mu Yu Xin treated this place like a five-star hotel.

  Tian Nuanyu curved up the corners of her mouth and smiled: "The guests upstairs were personally selected by Yan Shu, he only left them for people with fate to enjoy".

  "Fated person? What kind of person is considered a fated person? He let us into this private room, does that mean we're fated people?" Mu Yu Xing thought back to when they were going upstairs earlier and Tian Nuan Yu had mentioned the term "fated person", her curiosity bursting forth with three questions.

  Tian Nuanyu knew that even if she explained it to Mu Yu Xin, she might not understand. She smiled and didn't answer her question, but instead changed the subject: "This store may not be big, but there are many treasures inside. If you're willing to come again in the future, take your time to explore! Mr. Yan is meticulous about his work and cooking, so you can rest assured that everything here is clean and has its own unique characteristics. You can take a look at the menu first, if you don't think there's anything you want to eat, we can leave and go somewhere else."

  Tian Nuanyu's words just now had raised several question marks in Mu Yuexin's mind, but she saw that Tian Nuanyu didn't seem to want to say any more, so she didn't continue asking and instead picked up the menu on the table and flipped it open.

  The menu was bound in a linear style, like an ancient book. Mu Yu Xing didn't expect that when she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise. The address of the 11th package room was written on it: html/21/21132/.
