Chapter 145 – “You wouldn’t know because you don’t have a girlfriend.” (3)

It was quickly 12 o’clock they finished eating.

A large crowd suddenly rushed what was once the empty and quiet dining area of government-operated restaurant.

The crowd fought over each other and was more excited than sheep out of their pens.

They took up all the seats in no time. Some who came later could only stand and wait to one side. A few almost got into fights over available spots.

Tan Xiaoyan had put up with so much all morning long and, seeing those who were causing a scene, shouted with a long face, “Be quiet. Anymore fighting you all can leave and none of you will be eating here!”

As soon as she said that, the two tall and bulky men fell silent immediately and neither said another word.

Such was the status of the government-operated restaurant back in this time.

From what she had read in the past, it was said that the police station even posted signs at the restaurants telling the employees to not hit the customers. She found that unbelievable and comical at the time.

Judging from what she was seeing right now, that could very well happen.

As it was Tan Xiaoyan’s turn to collect money and tickets today, Tong Xuelu took up the registration and serving parts.

Everyone had noticed that a pretty new server had joined the government-operated restaurant. Especially when standing next to Tan Xiaoyan, she was pretty like a fairy.

They would look over at her uncontrollably from time to time, looked away, then back again.

When Tan Xiaoyan noticed that, her brows stood straight up and she said, “You keep looking at me, I am going to make a police report that you are being hooligans!”

The others, “…….” They were not blind.

The government-operated restaurant had limited number of servings and some of them must be saved for dinner time. When the lunch portion was sold out, Chef Meng would pick up the signs for the dishes.

It didn’t matter that those who came late would grovel.

He wasn’t going to make them and he didn’t care about the money.

Over on the base side, Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan were also dining at the government-operated restaurant.

Zhou Yan had not forgotten about the date cakes from the other night. “Rugui, why wouldn’t you share your date cakes with me the other day? I had been thinking about it for one day and one night and still haven’t figured that out yet.”

Wen Rugui, “……”

He didn’t Zhou Yan was still on that.

Luckily, their dishes came quickly, and Zhou Yan forgotten about everything else when he saw the braised pork.

Wen Rugui picked up a piece of braised pork and put it inside his mouth. That reminded him of the braised chestnut and chicken that Tong Xuelu had made.

He had thought that government-operated restaurant’s food was good in the past. Now that he had something to compare to, they were not that good after all.

Zhou Yan buried his head in the food. He finally find the time to talk again after finishing an entire bowl of rice.

“We finally had the results from our experiments from a while back. The base is going to give us all rewards. I heard that one of the rewards is Dacron fabric. I’ve already told the principal that that is what I want.”

Wen Rugui said nothing nor did he have any expression on him.

Zhou Yan could tell from Wen Rugui’s look that he had no idea what he was talking about. “You wouldn’t know because you don’t have a girlfriend. If you can give your girlfriend a dress made out of Dacron fabric, they would be happier than if you had given them malted milk. I plan to give it to my girlfriend after I get my hands on it!”

Wen Rugui’s black eyelashes fluttered and he still didn’t make a sound.

The two returned to the base after they had finished eating.

The rewards came the next day.

Zhou Yan was very excited about it when he suddenly realized that his reward had been swapped to two ceramic pots!

He was stunned.

He had specifically told the principal that he wanted the Dacron fabric and the principal had agreed to it. How did it turn into ceramic pots?
