Chapter 107

Eating hot pot with lamb during the deep autumn was a real treat. The lamb restaurant was bustling, and sitting by the window added to the atmosphere, with the steam from the pot mingling with the nighttime view outside.

After finishing one round, Yun Xiaolu's nose started to sweat, and her whole face and neck had a rosy glow.

Xu Chao looked at the girl, her eyes shining, and knew that she was in a great mood.

"You're so happy just from eating hot pot?"

Yun Xiaolu smiled embarrassedly, "Yeah, I'm happy. On the 7th, there was no place to have a feast, but now I can satisfy my cravings."

The food at the canteen on the 7th was actually pretty good, but after all, it was canteen food, and they only had a limited variety of dishes. It couldn't compare to the satisfaction of occasionally indulging in a feast outside.

Xu Chao added another round of meat to the pot. "If you agree to stay there, I guess they would even let you have hot pot every day if you wanted."

"Well, it's better not to. Eating lamb every day will cause internal heat." Yun Xiaolu laughed at his remark.

"I'm planning to go home in a few days. Would you like to come along?" Xu Chao definitely needed to visit his parents during his vacation, but because Yun Xiaolu's leave was limited, he wanted to ask in advance.

"I won't go back for now. My parents are with my brother, and my older siblings all have their own things to do. If I go back, they'll have to take time off. I'll take a longer vacation and go home for Chinese New Year."

Yun Xiaolu planned to visit her parents in Yunda during the Chinese New Year, so she didn't want to bother with a short break for now.

Xu Chao nodded understandingly, "You have quite a big family. It's not easy to gather everyone from different places."

In his own family, it was just him and his brother. Their parents' attention was focused solely on them, and they didn't miss a single little thing.

"Oh, by the way, when you go back, say hi to your older brother for me. I haven't had a chance to catch up with him in the past six months. I've been too busy with the electronics factory," Yun Xiaolu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Xu Chao nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, even if you don't do anything and just lend your name, my brother won't be at a loss."

Although Xu Chao didn't inquire much about the electronics factory's affairs himself, he knew how profitable it was. His older brother treated Yun Xiaolu as a lucky charm. The more attention she received, the more benefits the electronics factory would enjoy, so his brother had no objections.

"By the way, what's the deal with that private kitchen you mentioned?" Yun Xiaolu had been wanting to ask since this morning. She hadn't heard of it during her years in the capital.

"It's owned by a friend of my brother. Their ancestors were imperial chefs, and when the policies changed, they opened a restaurant. However, they don't normally cater to regular customers; they only entertain acquaintances recommended by others. And they have complete control over the daily menu," Xu Chao explained. He had been there a few times before. Although the prices were a bit high, the food was decent. However, he hadn't visited in the past few years due to his military life away from the capital.

Zifeng Restaurant was located in a courtyard in a hutong. The courtyard was much larger than Xu Chao's small yard, with two entrances. When Xu Chao brought Yun Xiaolu there, it was almost 11 o'clock. They were greeted by a middle-aged man who seemed very enthusiastic.
