Chapter 213: Luxurious Seafood Feast

In the dining area of this mall, there was a Dragon Palace Seafood Buffet Restaurant that hadn't been open for long.

After Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan followed Old Xia to the eighth floor and walked into the restaurant, they were immediately astonished by the luxurious and grand decoration and design inside.

The first thing that caught the eye was the seafood ingredient area on the left, which was very attractive to customers.

In the neatly arranged water tanks, king crabs, Boston lobsters, abalones, shellfish, and various other ingredients were all fresh and alive.

To the right of the ingredient area was the kitchen area. Through the bright and clean transparent glass, one could see the chefs inside, dressed in white chef uniforms and wearing tall hats, busy preparing various delicious dishes.

The overall decoration was mainly in warm tones, and the sound system in the restaurant played light and melodious piano music, giving customers a better dining experience.

Although it was a buffet restaurant, customers didn't need to go and get the food themselves.

Every two tables had a dedicated waiter, all of whom looked quite young. Customers only needed to take the menu to order, and the waiter would bring the dishes over very quickly.

Qin Tian looked around and felt that the restaurant space was very large, probably around two thousand square meters.

It was past one o'clock in the afternoon, already past the lunch rush, but the tables in the lobby were still nearly half full, mostly with business people dressed in suits.

"Boss!"

A middle-aged man walked over quickly, bowing slightly, and greeted Xia Zhengping respectfully.

"Old Qiu, this is my daughter Xia Nuannuan, and her boyfriend Qin Tian, get us a private room to have a meal."

Old Xia introduced them casually.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan with a surprised gaze.

"He is the store manager of this restaurant!"

Xia Zhengping turned his head and said to Qin Tian and the other.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan greeted him politely. Store Manager Qiu responded with pleasant surprise, then efficiently instructed a waiter in the store to prepare Private Room No. 1.

"Boss, you go in and sit first!"

Store Manager Qiu said to Old Xia.

"Okay, you arrange the dishes as you see fit, and bring another bottle of the good liquor I keep in the store!"

Xia Zhengping ordered with a chuckle.

"Understood!"

Store Manager Qiu nodded with a smile and then went to get busy.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan followed Old Xia into Private Room No. 1.

The private room was naturally more magnificent than the lobby, with crystal chandeliers, a large round table, and a bright floor-to-ceiling window through which one could overlook the city scenery below.

The dining table was very large, with more than a dozen seats, and the three of them only sat in a small corner.

After the young waitress set the three sets of tableware, she was busy pouring tea for the three of them, her movements very nimble, clearly an old employee of the store.

"Boss, do you need the menu?"

"No need, Old Qiu has already gone to arrange it."

"Okay, then I'll be outside, just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, the waitress walked quickly out of the private room.

"Uncle Xia, how much is it per person here?"

Qin Tian took a sip of tea and couldn't suppress his curiosity.

This free tea was clearly not cheap stuff.

"588, except for a few types where the cost is indeed too high, all other ingredients are unlimited!"

Xia Zhengping answered with a smile.

Qin Tian nodded in realization: "It's not too expensive!"

He was speaking the truth; it was already taking the high-end route, and given the grade and style of the restaurant, as well as the quality of the ingredients, this price was indeed very conscientious.

"We currently have a total of five stores in Jiangcheng, all at this price!"

Xia Zhengping added and asked: "How are your three internet cafes doing?"

"Currently, they are doing quite well. Brother Zhao called me a few days ago and said that according to the current profitability, it will probably take another two months to break even."

"That means you'll break even in four months? The profit is that high?"

"Mm, mainly because we held a gaming competition activity before, the internet cafe's popularity was opened up, the membership base in the store grew very quickly, and the capital was recovered quite fast."

"Not bad, it seems your eye for this is quite good. Although I don't understand this industry, this cost recovery speed is very exaggerated."

"It's mainly Brother Zhao's credit!"

Qin Tian smiled a bit embarrassedly and said: "I'm just a hands-off boss, I left everything to him, I feel quite embarrassed. Tomorrow I plan to go and show my face and treat Brother Zhao to a meal!"

"Hahaha... That should be done!"

Xia Zhengping nodded with hearty laughter.

The two chatted and laughed casually, and compared to the previous few meetings, the atmosphere was clearly much better.

Beside Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan watched the two most important men in her life chatting happily, a sweet and lovely smile on her pretty face.

Before long, Store Manager Qiu pushed a dining cart over, and the waiters brought the various cooked seafood dishes onto the table.

King crab, bridge-crossing East Star grouper, steamed Boston lobster, scampi sashimi platter, abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and other precious ingredients stewed in thick soup.

Such an extremely luxurious seafood feast on the table was something Qin Tian had truly never eaten in his past or present life.

"Come, Little Qin, don't be polite, just use your hands!"

Old Xia called out with a beaming face.

"Alright!"

Qin Tian smiled brightly, and indeed, he didn't mean to be polite, reaching out directly to take a king crab leg.

The chef had already completely processed it, the crab leg meat was exposed, and underneath was half a shell.

Under Old Xia's gratified gaze, Qin Tian first placed the crab leg into Xia Nuannuan's plate.

Xia Nuannuan had naturally eaten such a seafood feast countless times, but the one Qin Tian placed in front of her felt even more delicious.

At the same time, Store Manager Qiu opened the expensive Moutai, poured a glass for each of them, and then exited the private room.

"Come, come, come, Little Qin, let's have a toast."

Old Xia raised his glass to urge him to drink.

Qin Tian hurriedly raised his glass to follow, suddenly thinking of something, and said: "Uncle Xia, then the car later..."

"It's fine, I'll arrange for someone to drive it back!"

"Mm!"

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Tian picked up the liquor bottle beside him and filled them up again.

"Little Qin, try that soup, that's my favorite!"

"Okay, then I'll have a bowl first!"

"Give me your bowls, I'll help you get it!"

Xia Nuannuan said with a sweet smile.

Qin Tian and Old Xia looked at each other and smiled, handing over their bowls one by one.

Xia Nuannuan served each of them a bowl of seafood soup full of ingredients, and then got some soup for herself.

She had actually grown tired of most seafood, and by comparison, she preferred to drink some soup.

After drinking the soup, Xia Nuannuan used her slender hands to peel scampi for Qin Tian.

Every time he saw his daughter put the peeled shrimp meat into Qin Tian's plate, Xia Zhengping couldn't help but pick up his wine glass, not urging Qin Tian to drink, but sipping a little bit himself.

Although he now supported their romantic relationship, seeing his daughter serve Qin Tian like this, he couldn't help but feel jealous. ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
