After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

A few male comrades just sat there casually, and took the responsibility of taking care of the children over to them.

Xia Ran asked directly: "Excuse me, are there any ethnic minorities here? Do you have any dietary taboos? Or any taboos?"

Everyone looked at each other and said no.

Xia Ran asked again: "What about onions, ginger, garlic, etc.? Are there any that you don't eat? If so, I'll tell them and they won't let you put them down. We're all family, no need to be polite, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

"There is no taboo, eat everything."

"There's nothing to be taboo about. We eat everything here."

"That's right. We eat everything in my house, as long as it's delicious. But Miss Xia, the food here is so expensive, let's order less."

Xia Ran deliberately teased Shi Guangming and said, "You are worried that I don't have the money to pay. Don't worry, I have money."

He turned to the waiter and said, "Bring us the dishes we ordered, and give us some drinks. Do you have milk? Bring some milk to the kids."

"Okay, no problem, but we don't have milk here. Can we just serve drinks?"

"Aunt Xia, we can have drinks."

"Yes, we can have drinks."

"Aunt Xia, I want a drink."

Several children started talking, so Xia Ran naturally had no problem saying, "Okay, then serve drinks to everyone."

Mrs. Shi and the others looked at Xia Ran disapprovingly, "It's too expensive. We don't need to spend this much money. Your elder brother Shi and the others have to agree to it first. Otherwise, in my opinion, it's better to cook at home and save a lot of money. Eating out is not only expensive, but also not economical."

"If we cook at home, with so many people, how long will it take to finish it? Sister-in-law, we won't be tired. Eating out is more convenient. We can save time to chat. How nice."

Mrs. Shi rubbed her face and said, "If it hadn't been for the earthquake yesterday, we wouldn't have brought the children here. The two children at home are at the age when they can eat. If we go to a restaurant, the money won't be enough. We are afraid that there will be more earthquakes, so it's better for the children to be with us, so we just brought them along."

Xia Ran was shocked. How could she not know? She hadn't heard anyone say there was an earthquake. "Sister-in-law, there was an earthquake? Where? When?"

Shi Guangming took over the conversation and explained in detail: "It happened at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. We don't know if there will be aftershocks. We didn't dare to sleep last night. We were all in a daze all day today. It seems to be in Zhutian area. The specific location is still uncertain. Everyone guessed that it was at least level 5, and some guessed it was level 6. The specific level is not clear yet. It should be quite serious. We were all affected. The whole house was shaking, and even the cups on the table were shaken off."

"I think the pedestrians on the street today seem a bit strange. The magnitude of this earthquake is not small. Any information on the casualties?"

"I don't think the results will come out so quickly, but what I know is that all the armed police forces have been dispatched, and the provincial leaders have also been dispatched to provide rescue and condolences. I guess there will be donations of money and materials later. I hope everyone over there is okay. Alas, it's really hard for ordinary people to survive."

Mrs. Wang said, "That's right. Fortunately, it happened during the day. People here are hardworking. As long as it's during the day, we don't have to worry about being buried by the house. As long as people are alive, it's fine. If it happened at night, it would be fatal. There are people from that place in my factory. After hearing the news yesterday, they immediately asked for leave and went back to their hometown early this morning to help with the rescue."

Peng Li said, "Yes, that's true. But they must have been in a bad situation last night. I checked the weather forecast yesterday. It snowed there last night. I estimate that the temperature will be below minus 10 degrees Celsius tonight. They must have suffered a lot. As you can imagine, most of the houses in the village are made of mud that have been lived in for many years. They are prone to cracking or even collapse."

"That's right. The county town over there is quite poor, and the living conditions were already bad. After this, it's even worse."

Xia Ran regretted it. Why didn't she buy some cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and shoes? Or maybe some military coats. What a miscalculation.

We were all very happy to be together, but when we heard there was an earthquake, we suddenly became unhappy.

The children are still young and not sensitive to the word earthquake, so they just keep playing the game of "you poke me and I punch you".

As the braised pork elbow and braised mutton were served, everyone finally turned their attention back to the dishes. The children were drooling. Not only the children, but the adults were also envious.

Everyone just watched, no one picked up their chopsticks, Xia Ran said directly: "Let's eat, we are all family, so we don't need to be picky, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. The same goes for the children, if you like a dish, just turn the table.

Hey, I seem to have forgotten to order staple food, rice or noodles, hurry up and order your own, try to eat more vegetables and less staple food. I will say first, waiter, I want two bowls of rice, the staple food can be served now, you guys, just order directly. "

Afterwards, everyone started to say what they wanted. The waiter took note of the number and continued to serve the dishes from the kitchen.

Everyone started eating, and then the braised spareribs and stewed beef were served, all of which were heavy dishes. Everyone was eating with grease dripping from their mouths. This meal was too delicious, too luxurious, and it was expensive for a reason.

Then there is sweet and sour carp, fried rice cake and stuffed skin.

The children never stopped talking. Brother Shi’s eldest son even drank beverages at every meal.

Xia Ran said with a smile: "Drink less and eat more, otherwise you won't have room for food when you're full. There's also a large plate of chicken that hasn't been served yet, so be gentle when drinking. If you can't finish the drinks, you can take them away directly."

"These dishes are more than enough. There's no need to order the big plate of chicken. Miss Xia, just cancel it."

"You ordered too much. I'll return it. The food is already very good. It's better than the most lavish banquet I've ever had."

"Yes, it smells really good. But it makes me feel bad for the people who eat it. Such a large amount of food must be very expensive."

Xia Ran knew that everyone was worried about the money. Nowadays, people generally have less money and live frugally. They rarely eat so lavishly. She explained helplessly:

"I can't return it. It's almost done. Don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who pretends to be rich. I only order what I can afford. Apart from anything else, it's much cheaper than the price in Shanghai. I've been to Shanghai and found that the prices here are not as outrageous as before.

Besides, as long as we put food into our mouths and don’t waste it, it is not expensive and worth eating. Eating is not enough to make the poor poor. Being able to eat is a blessing. Let’s eat without any burden.”

Wang Yu asked: "Sister Xia, you are not really rich, are you? You are getting rich too fast."

"It's not like I'm getting rich, but I made a little less. Why, are you interested?"
