"Delicious!"
Li Yan looked curiously at the restaurant with its unique name. The restaurant was located on the street and its exterior design was ingenious, luxurious and eye-catching.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow passersby to clearly see the restaurant's exquisite decor and elegant atmosphere.
The restaurant's entrance features a magnificent doorway, adorned with meticulously manicured greenery, creating a refreshing and comfortable atmosphere.
Attracted by the restaurant's name and ambiance, Li Yan led Fern into the restaurant. The first thing that caught their eye was the spacious and bright hall, with a magnificent crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, its dazzling light illuminating the entire space.
The restaurant's tables and chairs were arranged very elegantly, with soft sofas for customers who hadn't ordered yet to rest. Li Yan's eyes lit up slightly; since she was still a child at the moment, she immediately sat down on the sofa to enjoy its soft comfort.
"Lord Li Yan, stop joking around, it's time to eat."
Feeling it was inappropriate to call Godfather in public, Fern blushed and gently tugged at Li Yan's clothes.
Okay.
Li Yan was a little reluctant to leave. She got up from the soft sofa, took Fern's hand, and walked towards the elegant and luxurious white wooden dining table and chairs.
The white wooden dining table was set with exquisite tableware and fresh flowers, which made Fern feel very happy. Compared with the small restaurants in the alley, the restaurant here had an added touch of romance and elegance.
The walls are adorned with many abstract artworks, adding a cultural atmosphere to the restaurant. In the center of the hall, there is a piano, and a pianist in a tuxedo is sitting in front of it, elegantly playing a piano piece.
The service at the luxury restaurant was also top-notch. Well-trained waiters in neat uniforms greeted Fern with smiles and handed the menus to Fern and Li Yan.
"Beautiful lady, lovely child, what would you like to order? We have freshly caught Boston lobsters and the Small Town's signature dessert, Cream Cocoa Sweetheart Pudding."
Hearing the waiter refer to her Godfather as a cute little kid, Fern couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Li Yan snorted lightly, not caring about the waiter's address, and began to look at the dishes on the menu.
The menu offers a variety of exquisite dishes, all meticulously prepared by top chefs; each dish is a visual feast just to look at it.
"Two Boston lobsters, Cream Cocoa Sweetheart Pudding, five medium-rare Oubuli Steaks, two Xikali Sea Fish, three servings of salad, and a bottle of 1982 Bobolila Wine."
The waiter blinked. The dishes Li Yan ordered were already a bit outrageous; the cost alone was forty times his salary, of course, that was just the price of that one bottle of wine.
"This..."
The waiter looked somewhat embarrassed at Fern's seat; after all, it was just a child ordering randomly, and he couldn't very well say it outright.
"It's alright. According to Lord Li Yan's standards, I'd like five grape-flavored egg tarts, one honey-marinated wild boar leg that's been aged for over five years, and three King Crabs."
With a smile, Fern handed the menu to the waiter, then took out a Black Card from her pocket. It was a birthday gift from Li Yan, supposedly valid throughout the entire continent, and supposedly contained one hundred million gold coins.
Upon seeing the Black Card, the waiter's eyes widened, and with slightly trembling hands, he elegantly accepted the Black Card. He couldn't make this decision on his own; he had to consult the manager. Every Black Card holder was Noble of high status and immense power.
"Yes, sir, madam, I'll have it ready for you right away."
The waiter was already barely able to contain his excitement. Each waiter would receive a 1% commission on the profits from the customers they served, and this single order already exceeded his monthly salary.
As the waiter left, Fern rested her chin on her hand, gazing tenderly in Li Yan's direction. Her legs swayed slightly restlessly. Her date with her Godfather, dining together in a luxurious restaurant, felt like a dream.
In just a short while, the manager and waiters in charge of the restaurant hurriedly approached Fern and solemnly handed the Black Card back to Fern. They had verified that Fern's Black Card was indeed genuine, proving his status and wealth. Their chef would use the finest skills to ensure the Black Card holder enjoyed a delicious meal.
Fern casually put the Black Card into his pocket. Just as his Godfather had said, this item could be used to pay for anything he wanted, but not at the roadside stalls, where cash was required.
Soon, all the delicious dishes were served. Li Yan poured a glass of wine for Fern. It would be more elegant to have wine with a big meal, but Li Yan didn't order this wine for the sake of elegance. He just liked its slightly sweet taste.
After a graceful, wolfing-down process, Li Yan raised her little hand and ordered dozens more roasted chicken legs and wings. The beef was also exceptionally flavorful, truly reminiscent of the taste of the Green Grassland.
"Tsk, what a country bumpkin."
On the other side, a lady elegantly eating her food frowned as she watched. The other person's eating manners were truly too unrestrained, standing out conspicuously in this elegant restaurant.
"Shut up!"
The elderly Noble sitting opposite the lady immediately noticed the 1982 Bobolila Wine on Li Yan's table. That kind of wine was not something ordinary businessmen and minor Nobles could afford. Even he only spent money to order a bottle when entertaining important guests.
The other party's identity was extraordinary. This pretty but stupid woman in front of me was starting to whine again. She was such a fool with long hair and short brains. If it weren't for her looks, I would have dumped her long ago.
Intimidated by the old Noble's tone and gaze, the noblewoman dared not utter another sarcastic remark. She could only glare resentfully in Fern's direction, wondering why this bumpkin was eating better than her.
They were just a child and a young girl, yet they ordered a table full of luxurious dishes. This country bumpkin probably doesn't think that restaurants serve the kind of small dishes that cost a few dozen coins a plate.
"Waiter, waiter, those country bumpkins at that table are ruining our appetite. If they don't have the money to pay the bill, please take care of them quickly."
The more the noblewoman looked, the angrier she became. Ignoring the elderly Noble's gesturing, she waved and called for a waiter.
"This..."
The waiter looked somewhat embarrassed, glancing back at Li Yan's location before looking at the elegant woman before him. "Madam, I can't handle this kind of thing. I'll go and call our manager."
The waiter hurried away, and the elderly Noble frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes as he looked at the leisurely noblewoman. He had already decided to get rid of her after this dinner.
"Lord Li Yan... it seems like we're being targeted..."
Fern, biting her egg tart, glanced at Li Yan while gently biting her lower lip.
