After finally persuading his companions to leave, Wang Li arrived at the Tianfu Restaurant alone.
Seeing the familiar decor and faces, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wang, you've returned from the sea." Seeing him standing at the door, the waiter immediately greeted him enthusiastically. He was considered a regular customer.
"I'm back. First, get me a piping hot bowl of mutton noodles."
"The usual then? Extra braised mutton?"
"Yes, and half a catty of strong liquor," Wang Li replied.
The waiter looked at him in surprise. In the past, Brother Wang never drank alcohol. Things were a bit different after this trip.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and get it," Wang Li urged.
The waiter immediately smiled and led him to a seat. "Please wait a moment, I'll go tell the kitchen right away."
It wasn't mealtime yet, so there weren't many customers in the dining hall. Wang Li stopped the waiter. "Is Shopkeeper Ming Nian not here today?"
