Chapter 74 Menu

  "Alright, alright, I won't fight with you for it. Next time you come, I'll treat you," said Yan Shu with a smile.

  Duan Liuyun was stunned, how did he know that she would definitely come again next time?

  Yan Shu didn't look at Duan Liuyun again, but instead turned to Tian Nanyu: "Nanyu, you take care of yourself, I'll go downstairs and make arrangements".

  "Alright, Uncle Yan you go ahead and attend to your business, don't worry about us, we'll order for ourselves in a bit," Tian Nanyu replied with a smile.

  "Alright then, you all eat slowly, I'll go downstairs," said Yan Shu with a smile as he left the private room and went downstairs.

  Tian Nuanyu saw that everyone had sat down, so she pointed at the menu on the round table: "Everyone can take a look at the menu to see what they want to eat."

  Mu Yu Xing leaned in and asked Tian Nuan Yu: "Was that fat old man just now the boss here?"

  "Right, you can call him Zhanggui, he likes being called Zhanggui", Tian Nuanyu smiled.

  "Do you know him well?"

  "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."

  "Working? What have you been doing here?" Mu Yu Xing already knew that Tian Nuan Yu had worked many part-time jobs before, so it wasn't too surprising to her that she had worked here.

  "I've done serving dishes, collecting money, and washing bowls," Tian Nuanyu said with a calm expression.

  Apart from Qiu Nianwei's face showing a look of disdain, the rest of them did not have any unusual expressions.

  Duan Liu Yun and Lan Sheng Yan, as well as Qiu Nian Bai, all turned their attention to the private room, circling around it with a scrutinizing gaze.

  "Is this store new? I didn't know there was a store like this." Duan Liuyun raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "This store has been open for almost ten years, perhaps because it's a bit secluded, not many people know about it. Many customers who come here are introduced by friends, but almost everyone who has eaten here will come back again, so business is very good." Tian Nuoyu said as she took out six tea cups from the tray on the table and placed one in front of each person, then picked up the teapot and poured tea into each cup.

  "Everyone can rest assured, this store may not be big but it has a good reputation. The food and utensils here are very clean, otherwise I wouldn't bring you here," Tian Nanyu pointed to the teapot and tea cups and then pointed to the table and chairs: "Maybe you don't believe it, this set of tea utensils is not made by a famous artist, but it's a Qing dynasty imitation Qianlong style purple sand teapot. The cup and pot are a complete set, and this round table and chair are all made of purple sandalwood."

  Qiu Nianwei's face was filled with disbelief, thinking that Tian Nuanyu was bragging. Mu Yuexin heard the words and picked up the purple sand pot to take a look, then put it down again, her expression half-believing and half-doubting. She didn't have any knowledge of antiques, so she couldn't tell whether it was genuine or fake.

  However, Lan Shengyan was somewhat familiar with antiques. His family's old master loved collecting antiques, and he had heard and seen a lot since childhood. He picked up the purple sand pot to study it, then stretched out his hand to touch the edge of the table, softly saying: "It's indeed genuine."

  The faces of several people who were sitting showed a look of surprise.

  "This boss puts the real thing here, isn't he afraid that people will eat and take it away?" Mu Yu Xing's eyes were filled with big 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 will be such a good thing?"

  "That's right, but why did that old fatty put such good things here for people to use casually?" Mu Yu Xing thought that Yan Shu was always smiling and quite likable, she felt that calling him "old fatty" was quite endearing.

  Tian Nuoyu 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 made of ordinary materials from 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 upstairs to the private room."

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

  Tian Nu Yu's mouth curved up into a smile: "The guests upstairs were all personally selected by Uncle Yan, he only leaves 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 Xin asked multiple questions in a row.

  Mu Yu Xin curiously asked out multiple questions, she asked all the questions that everyone else wanted to ask, so the others remained silent.

  Tian Nuanyu smiled but didn't answer, instead turning the conversation: "Yan Shu is meticulous in both his work and cooking, the dishes here are very characteristic, everyone can take a look at the menu first and see what they want to eat."

  Although Mu Yu Xin had several question marks in her mind, she saw that Tian Nuan Yu didn't continue speaking and didn't ask again. She stretched out her hand to take the menu, but Qiu Nian Wei took it before her.

  Mu Yu Xing glared at Qiu Nian Wei, who gave her a smug sideways glance before opening the menu.

  The menu was bound in a linear style, like an ancient book. Without thinking, she opened the first page and her eyes widened in surprise.

  "What's all this? What a mess!" Qiu Nianwei furrowed her brow, slamming the menu onto the table and exclaiming in surprise.

  The menu was flipped open by Qiu Nianwei and spread out on the table. As she exclaimed, the gazes of the others fell onto the menu. When they saw what was written on it, each person's face revealed a look of astonishment.

  The menu read: Hell's Menu, First Layer: Tongue-Pulling, Second Layer: Scissors, Third Layer: Iron Tree... all the way to the 18th layer, where one page listed some dish names.

  "Ah, dragonfly, what's all this?" Mu Yu Xing also cried out in surprise.

  Tian Nuoyu couldn't help but smile lightly.
