Shen Ning knew his temperament and did not force himself. She turned to look at Magistrate Zhou.
"Mr. Zhou, what you just said is right. An invitation is worse than a chance encounter. The dishes on this table have just been served. We haven't touched our chopsticks yet. If you don't mind, you can eat together."
"Miss, that's too polite. I'm the one who bothered you two. You've done me a big favor today, so I'll be the host of this meal, and I'll treat you two to it."
Magistrate Zhou said with a smile, glanced at Zhui Feng, and called the waiter.
"Secretary, please find a table for this guest, and order the same dishes as this table, and serve a few jugs of good wine. I will charge the account."
He pointed at Chai Feng.
Although Zhui Feng didn't say a word, he felt uncomfortable being stared at by Zhui Feng's eyes. He just wanted to say a few words to the girl. This servant who was as thin as a bamboo pole didn't need to guard against thieves. Just yourself.
Magistrate Zhou's servant, who was called Wufu, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this, trembling with heartache.
He touched the shriveled money bag, gently tugged on Magistrate Zhou's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "My Lord, you are so generous. Do you know how much money this table of dishes costs?" ? We don’t even have enough money to pay for this table of food and drinks.”
Magistrate Zhou glared at him: "If it's not enough, just keep accounts."
Wufu thought: "Young master, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Your salary has been paid in advance until next month."
But he didn't dare to say anything more and could only retreat silently.
The two people's voices were very low. Shen Ning couldn't hear what they said, but Zhui Feng could hear every word.
He originally didn't want to open another table with the waiter, but when he heard that Magistrate Zhou was short of money, he immediately changed his mind.
The waiter found a table for him nearby, and he sat down gracefully. Although he didn't drink, he didn't stop the waiter from serving him good wine.
Anyway, this table of food and wine is a treat for Zhou, so he won't save money for him.
"By the way, waiter, is this dish just launched by your restaurant? What's its name?"
Magistrate Zhou called the waiter and pointed to the plate of Dongpo meat in his hand.
The waiter smiled and said: "This is called Dongpo Pork, and it is indeed a new dish just launched by our restaurant."
"Dongpo Pork? That's a good name. Bring one to our table. Oh, by the way, bring one to that table too." Magistrate Zhou pointed to Zhui Feng again.
Zhui Feng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This Dongpo pork is delicious, but he just ate a whole piece. He is so tired of it that whenever he smells the smell of Dongpo pork, he will feel sick. If he is given another plate... he is really scared. He vomited it out on the spot.
Shen Ning smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou, you didn't come to treat me to dinner specially, did you?"
She discerned the appearance and had already known that the chance encounter mentioned by the county magistrate this week was fake, and he was afraid that he came here with her on purpose.
Magistrate Zhou's fair face couldn't help but blush slightly. He didn't expect that the little girl would see through his intentions before he could say anything. He couldn't answer for a while, so he had to pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip. To cover up the embarrassment in my heart.
Shen Ning didn't say anything, just ate the food with a smile, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
Although she guessed that the county magistrate wanted to see her for something this week, she couldn't figure out why.
After all, she and him have never met before. If she could even know what the other person was thinking, she would really become a god.
