Chapter 223 Treat
Zhang Bo and his companions looked at the bamboo slips menu and marveled at it.

Tea and bamboo are a very elegant combination.

The font above is also vigorous and powerful, with a certain elegance.

"Third brother, did you ask someone to write this? It's in traditional Chinese characters."

Zhang Bo felt that it was fortunate that he was an educated person, otherwise he would not be able to understand the menu.

“What beautiful words.”

Zhuge Yun exclaimed in admiration.

"Is it written by Grandpa Xiao? This bamboo slip looks quite old."

Zhao Lu was touching the yellowed bamboo slips. The words on them had already seeped into the bamboo slips, giving a feeling of being one with them.

“My great-grandfather wrote it.”

"Wow, this is an old item too."

"sharp."

……

"Well, for tea, how about we order Tieguanyin?"

Zhuge Yun looked at Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng for advice.

"casual."

"can."

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng had no doubt that they were not very interested in tea.

I came to Xiao's Teahouse, on the one hand because I was curious about what Xiao Xiao's family's teahouse was like, and on the other hand I wanted to feel the atmosphere of the teahouse.

As for tea, it’s not like they haven’t drunk it before.

This kind of bitter drink is really not what most young people like.

So when they first saw Xiao Xiao was so fond of drinking tea, they were shocked.

Later, I found out that Xiao Xiao's family ran a teahouse, and my jaw dropped to the ground again.

To them, all teas taste basically the same.

"Come on, let me see what refreshments we should order?"

Zhang Bo came closer to Zhao Luzheng with great interest. He was more interested in food.

The purple rose cakes and purple wisteria cakes that the third brother brought to school last time were both delicious. Zhang Bo was looking forward to the snacks at Xiao’s Teahouse.

"Well, almond tofu, purple sweet potato and yam cake, mint cake... pea yellow... lotus seed cake..."

“Chestnut cake is good too.”

Zhuge Yun moved to the other side of Zhao Luzheng and pointed at one of the cakes.

He had eaten this chestnut cake before in other places and it tasted pretty good.

"Hey, here, how about another silver curl?"

Zhao Luzheng also picked one that he thought was delicious.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

Can you eat all this?
Did you guys order almost all the dim sum on the menu?
"Okay, that's all."

Zhang Bo still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Third brother, thank you for your help."

Zhuge Yun smiled very politely at Xiao Xiao.

"Third brother, have you remembered everything?"

"Don't you need to take notes?"

Zhao Luzheng also knew that they had ordered a lot of snacks and was worried that they had missed some.

"No, I remember everything."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, "But can you finish all this?"

"The boss is here. What is there to worry about?"

"Maybe it won't be enough by then."

Zhuge Yun patted the boss's strong arm, hiss, it was really hard, then looked at his own thin arms and legs, and felt inexplicably sad.

"……Too."

Xiao Xiao looked at the boss's burly figure. The snacks were made delicately and delicately, and were just embellishments for the tea. For the boss, one mouthful might not be one, but two or three, right?
It must be difficult to fill the stomachs of several grown boys with snacks alone.

Most of the customers who come to Xiao's Teahouse would sit there for a long time with a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks.

Unlike this group of people, they are just here to eat and drink to their heart's content, right?
"Okay, then you sit down for a while, I'll help you place the order."

"Well, let's go."

Zhuge Yun waved his hand, signaling Xiao Xiao to go quickly.

……

Xiao Xiao felt fortunate that he had the foresight to choose a table in a secluded corner.

Although he had a premonition, Xiao Xiao still felt speechless when he saw the snack plates gradually piling up on the table.

Thinking back to the expressions on his father and grandfather's faces when he went to the kitchen to read the menu, he found it a little funny.

Dad even asked him, "Is this for the four of you to eat?"

Xiao Xiao nodded helplessly.

"Haha, it turns out that the young man has a good appetite." Grandpa couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Father Xiao also shook his head and said to Xiao Xiao: "Okay, go out and accompany your classmates."

"Ah."

……

Xiao Xiao and his friends spent an afternoon in the teahouse.

All the snacks on the table were eaten up.

"Third brother, the dim sum in your teahouse is really delicious."

Zhang Bo said that he was very satisfied with the meal, and he felt even more comfortable after drinking a cup of tea.

“Yes, every snack tastes delicious.”

Zhuge Yun picked up the teacup and sipped.

"Third brother, do you have takeout for refreshments?"

Zhao Lu was already thinking about bringing some snacks back home when he returned to school.

"Sorry, this teahouse does not provide take-out service."

After seeing the disappointed looks on their faces, Xiao Xiao slowly said, "However, as friends of this young master, you will naturally receive special treatment."

Zhang Bo: …

Zhuge Yun: ...

Zhao Luzheng: ...

"Young Master, we are so grateful."

"I feel deeply."

"It's very scary."

"As long as you understand."

Xiao Xiao gave a few people an appreciative look.

“…Haha~”

……

"Besides, Third Brother, the tea in your teahouse is also very delicious."

Zhang Bo took another sip of tea, which made Xiao Xiao twitch his eyes. Even if the boss said so, he didn't feel happy at all.

This is what is called a cow chewing a peony.

“It’s delicious and paired with pastries, it’s even better.”

Zhuge Yun was more restrained than Zhang Bo, but he mostly used tea as a condiment for snacks.

But tea is the protagonist.

"Third brother, your teahouse is indeed a time-honored brand."

Zhao Luzheng seemed to be sipping his tea. Of course, this was just an illusion, as the boy's eyes had never left the plate of snacks.

These foodies.

Although he is also a foodie.

However, he has been drinking tea with all his heart until now.

Therefore, there is always a faint scent of tea on his body.

Oh my, what a bunch of guys who waste resources.

The tea served in his teahouse is of the finest quality.

Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.

……

"I'll go check out."

Zhang Bo was about to stand up, but Xiao Xiao held his shoulders.

"What are you going to pay?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows speechlessly, "Of course I'm the one treating you."

"But we ate so much, it's embarrassing."

Zhuge Yun touched his head. It was his first time coming to a classmate’s teahouse, and they ordered so much and didn’t pay the bill, as if they came here specifically to eat for free.

“Well, Third Brother, after all, your teahouse is open for business.”

Zhao Luzheng also felt that they should pay for the meal themselves, otherwise they would be embarrassed to come to the teahouse to eat and drink in the next few days.

……

"…This meal is on my table."

The Xiao family wouldn’t mind if their friends had a few meals in their own teahouse.

But it was obvious that Zhang Bo and his companions were quite bothered by this.

In that case, Xiao Xiao didn't force it.

But he must pay for the first meal, there is no room for negotiation
Seeing Zhang Bo and the others were about to say something, Xiao Xiao waved his hand and continued, "You will pay for your food later."

"Is this okay?"

"Row."

Zhang Bo and his companions looked at each other and agreed readily.
