Chapter 26: Heading to a folk music restaurant for dinner, Chen Mo is about to start showing off!
After paying, Chen Mo left the jewelry store with the six girls.
Stepping out of the store, the night breeze hits you, carrying the lively atmosphere unique to the commercial street.
Chen Mo put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at them.
"What would you like to eat?"
The girls looked at each other, their gazes shifting back and forth several times.
Coco thought for a moment, then looked up at Chen Mo, her tone serious.
"Let's eat at Shaxian Restaurant, Brother Mo, it's on you."
The other girls were stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, brother, it's on you."
Little Deer patted her chest, acting like a big sister.
"Brother Mo, order whatever you like tonight, don't be shy."
Several girls stood in a row, their faces full of righteousness, as if to say, "We'll treat you to this meal."
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he saw their expressions.
"You invited me?"
"Do you have money?"
Although the prices at Shaxian Snacks are not high, they are not exactly cheap either.
If there are seven people, even if each person eats a set meal that costs twelve yuan, the total cost would still be eighty or ninety yuan.
He knew all too well about the situation of these girls.
Their pockets were emptier than their faces; even after searching their entire bodies, they couldn't scrape together much steel.
Coco chuckled, her eyes curving into crescents.
"We can smash the old man's gold coins."
The other girls nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, if we each take a little, it'll definitely be enough."
The little deer counted on its fingers.
"I'll treat you to braised pork knuckle rice later, Mo-ge. There are six of us, so two servings will be enough. We're not hungry anyway, so consider it a way to lose weight."
Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.
He had heard of the term "Old Man's Gold Coin".
A few young girls should use sweet words to say nice things to those older men online.
When people are in a good mood, it's not difficult for them to give out a few red envelopes or treat them to a meal.
But he never imagined that one day he would have his young mistress supporting him by collecting gold coins from old men.
If this gets out, his lifelong reputation will be ruined.
"I said I'd treat you to dinner, so don't try to refuse."
Chen Mo's tone left no room for negotiation.
The girls nodded and obediently replied, "Okay."
"besides."
Chen Mo looked at them with a serious expression.
"From now on, try to spend less gold coins. It's not illegal, but it's not very ethical."
The girls were laughing and seemed about to say something.
Chen Mo's expression turned serious.
Seeing his expression change, the girls slowly stopped laughing.
"If this becomes a habitual way of thinking, and people get used to getting something for nothing, they are very likely to turn to illegal and criminal activities in the future."
Chen Mo's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was serious.
He genuinely felt it was necessary to correct the values of these girls.
Making money by collecting gold coins from the old man is indeed a quick way to make money in the short term, and it's not illegal or strenuous.
However, if you do this for a long time, your mindset will gradually change. Once you get used to getting something for nothing, it will be difficult to work hard and earn money.
He really liked these girls; they were diligent, sensible, caring, and they even provided him with system rewards.
Chen Mo didn't want to see them go astray in the future.
The girls stopped smiling and stood up straight, like elementary school students being scolded by their teacher.
"Okay, Brother Mo, we understand."
Chen Mo nodded, took out his phone, and opened the map app.
A long list of nearby restaurant recommendations popped up. He swiped through them a few times, and his gaze settled on one shop.
Nanshanbei Folk Song Restaurant.
It has a rating of 4.8 and a good reputation. The comments section praises the great environment and atmosphere, and there are folk singers performing on stage from time to time.
"This is the place."
Chen Mo locked his phone and walked towards the east end of the commercial street.
Several girls followed behind him, chattering about what a "folk music restaurant" was like.
After walking for less than five minutes, Chen Mo stopped in front of a building.
The entrance is very tall, and the high ceilings make the building stand out among the surrounding shops.
After going inside.
The world inside the gate is completely different from the commercial street outside.
The decor has a retro style, but you can see thoughtful little details everywhere.
"Wow----"
The fawn let out a soft gasp.
"As expected of a grand restaurant, it's truly beautiful."
A waiter wearing a white shirt and black vest walked over with a menu in his hand. When he saw the group of one man and six women, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly resumed his professional smile.
"Sir, this way please. The large table is next to the stage."
The waiter led them through several individual tables to a large round table near the stage.
Several girls sat down around the table.
The first thing they did after sitting down was to take out their phones and start taking pictures.
Chen Mo sat down in the seat facing the stage, took the menu from the waiter, and turned to the first page.
The girls were still excited about taking photos, chattering away.
"This lamp is so beautiful."
"Look at this poster. I saw this record in my dad's cabinet when I was a kid."
"Is this guitar real? It has scratches on it."
"Take a picture of me quickly, just my back, don't take a picture of my face."
Chen Mo flipped through the menu, tapping the page seven or eight times with his finger.
Boiled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, dry-fried green beans, Kung Pao chicken, spicy shrimp, mapo tofu, crab roe vermicelli, sour soup beef, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, and garlic broccoli, plus a tomato and egg drop soup.
Chen Mo didn't let the girls order the food. He knew that if he let them order, they would definitely only choose the cheapest dishes.
The waiter wrote down the names of the dishes one by one, calculated the total to be 520 yuan.
Chen Mo closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, saying, "That's all."
The waiter took the menu, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
The girls are still taking pictures.
The restaurant gradually became more crowded.
There were families of five having dinner together, friends having dinner together, and many couples having dates here.
At 7:30, the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out.
Three men came out from backstage: one was carrying a guitar, one was holding a hand drum, and the other sat behind the electronic keyboard.
The three people stood on the stage, looked at each other, and then the music started.
It was a folk song that Chen Mo had heard before. The melody was simple and the lyrics were plain, but it had an indescribable charm.
The girls fell silent at the same time, their eyes fixed intently on the stage.
They rarely have the opportunity to come to places like this; it's a completely new experience for them.
As the music ended, the waiter pushed the food cart over.
Dishes were served one after another, filling the entire table to the brim.
The girls ate while watching the band perform.
Chen Mo picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and looked down at the stage.
He felt a slight itch in his hands.
Since the system gave him the skills of a guitar master and a piano master, he has not actually touched a musical instrument.
It felt like someone who had studied martial arts for ten years had their skills sealed away, with no way to use their strength.
The song has come to an end.
The three people on stage stopped, and a man in a suit walked out from backstage, holding a wireless microphone, with his hair slicked back and a professional smile on his face.
He stood in the center of the stage, his gaze sweeping across the entire audience, and raised the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear customers, good evening!"
"Today, our Nanshanbei Folk Music Restaurant is launching an event: anyone willing to go on stage to sing or play an instrument and interact with the band will have a chance to win a free meal!"
The restaurant patrons all looked up as the spotlight shone on the stage.
"Furthermore, the person with the most popularity will receive a mystery gift from our Nanshanbei Folk Music Restaurant!"
"Anyone want to come up and try it out?"
The restaurant was silent for a few seconds.
The guests at the several tables looked at each other, some lowered their heads and continued eating, some whispered among themselves, and no one stood up.
Chen Mo put down his chopsticks, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He was just wondering if he'd ever have a chance to play that piano, and he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Just as Chen Mo was about to raise his hand, someone at the table diagonally opposite him stood up.
