Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: Sympathize with You for Three Seconds

He walked over from the smoky haze, holding a broken pot with a leaking bottom, and looked apologetically at Gu Shuangshuang and everyone else: ”Sorry, I’ve managed to make the pot leak.”

”What?” Gu Shuangshuang was almost fainting with anger, ”Were you frying stones with the pot? How did you manage to make the bottom leak?”

”No mistake. It turns out that even frying stones wouldn’t make the pot leak,” Qin Jian added slyly from the side.

”But I really don’t know how to cook. When I cooked at home, I was just helping out!” Tian Niu said embarrassingly, ”Now that the pot is broken, what shall we use to serve the guests?”

An Hao tried to hold back her laughter, seeing Tian Niu, a big man with a broad back, being scolded by Gu Shuangshuang until he looked defeated, she quickly intervened: ”Let’s go out to eat.”

”Fine. You’re paying!” Gu Shuangshuang stared fiercely at Tian Niu.

”Of course, I’ll pay. I definitely can’t let my wife spend her money,” Tian Niu said pleasingly, smiling at Gu Shuangshuang.

”Do you two still separate your money?” Qin Jian asked.

”Yes. My wife keeps her money for herself. I use my salary to support my wife and children,” Tian Niu said pitifully.

”Ha ha ha! I’ll sympathize with you for three seconds!” An Hao finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

”Hey sister-in-law, are you this tough on the captain too?” As he spoke, Tian Niu took off his apron.

”No. I hand over all my money every month. I hardly spend any,” Qin Jian said.

”Look at his dedication,” Gu Shuangshuang glanced at Tian Niu, ”Unlike some people who sneakily stash away private money for cigarettes!”

”A man, you need to give him some space.” An Hao patted Gu Shuangshuang and said, ”Let’s go, let’s eat.”

Qin Jian turned his head to ask Lin Sheng: ”What do you want to eat?”

”Anything is fine,” Lin Sheng thought for a moment and said, ”Big Brother Lin, can we go to the Nanguofeng Restaurant? I want to see how Mu Mian is doing!”

”Sure. You decide! Let’s go!”

...

Nanguofeng Restaurant.

As soon as they walked in, An Hao felt a different ambiance. Compared to other noisy restaurants, this one was more elegant.

Most people dining here were scholars and literati, engaging in calligraphy and discussing everything from ancient times to the present while eating.

It was An Hao’s first time here, and she could tell from a glance that the atmosphere was different, the clientele was distinct.

After sitting down, An Hao first glanced at the menu and realized that the dishes and prices here were indeed a bit expensive, but what you paid for was the atmosphere and the refinement.

”This Nanguofeng is quite famous. Did you know? Although these four branches are all Nanguofeng, their dishes and decor are different, and so are the dining guests,” Gu Shuangshuang really felt moved by this.

Last time Duan Aihua came to see her, she brought her to Nanguofeng Restaurant.

But unexpectedly, each of these four branches was unique, even the dishes and prices were different. They catered to different groups: ordinary folks, businessmen, scholars, and the last one was a cheap restaurant with ordinary but tasty food and generous portions, targeting laborers.

”It seems, this owner is really extraordinary,” An Hao muttered, ”Such a clever mind, not being used in the mainstream, what a waste!”
