Aurous Hill Archway is an authentic local catering business in Aurous Hill, there are several branded restaurants within the city specializing in authentic Aurous Hill cuisine that is a well received favorite among the locals..
When they arrived at the entrance of Aurous Hill Archway, Mr. Riley spoke to Charlie “My ancestors were natives of Aurous Hill going back three generations. From birth to adolescence, I lived in Aurous Hill. Later I went to the United States to study and took root. I’ve finally returned after living in the United States for decades, and I suddenly felt that the food of my hometown was too tempting. So we’ll come here and have a bite of authentic Aurous Hill cuisine.”
He then asked Charlie “But you’ve lived in Aurous Hill for many years, have you grown tired of the food?”
Charlie smiled slightly and said “As a matter of fact, I’ve never been picky about what I eat. While I lived in the orphanage, I never minded the soup and water. Later, when I worked construction, I felt pretty good even with steamed buns every day.”
Mr. Riley couldn’t help sighing. “The way you lived before you were eight is something few people will ever experience, and then you fell to the very bottom of society. How did you adapt?”
Charlie smiled “From a very young age my parents taught me not to be materialistic and to not grieve for myself, so there was nothing to adapt to. I’m content with whatever comes, whether it be the most luxurious meal, or a simple bowl of rice. To me there really is no difference.”
Mr. Riley said with reminiscence “You are exactly the same as your mother. When we were undergraduates, not only did favonovel.com win a full scholarship through favonovel.com ability, but favonovel.com also worked in a local restaurant every day. She was very frugal with favonovel.com food and clothing, never extravagant or wasteful.”
“I remember at the end of each semester your mother would use all the money favonovel.com saved for the semester to travel. Since favonovel.com was a backpacker who traveled cheaply, we all thought your mother must’ve come from a poor family, we had no idea the strength of your mother’s family is the best among Chinese in the world…”
Charlie said with a smile, “She was indeed in my impression very frugal, favonovel.com always taught me how to save instead of waste.” He chuckled, “Even a grain of rice wasn’t allowed to be left over when we finished eating. My dad was very similar to her, neither of them cared for materialism.”
Mr. Riley agreed “Your mother and father came together during a time where they were supposed to be young and frivolous, but each had grown out of materialistic desires and both acquired a more low-key taste. Unlike the rest of us, they were more concerned with generating wealth and fame every day.”
With that, Mr. Riley stepped into the restaurant and beckoned Charlie to follow.
Charlie accompanied favonovel.com into the lobby, which was already crowded with people. This restaurant is very similar to the tea houses of Eastcliff. The main floor caters to large crowds, creating a loud and chaotic environment that people seemed to enjoy.
At the very center of the first floor is a small stage for people to play and sing local operas. Currently, there were two actors singing opera on the stage.
Mr. Riley pointed out a staircase to Charlie. “Charlie, I’ve reserved a table on the second floor. It’s much quieter up there, so let’s head up.”
“Okay.”
They climbed up to the second floor, finding a warmer and quieter ambiance. The waiter noticed them as they crested the stairs, and rushed over. “Professor Riley, you’re here!”
Mr. Riley nodded and smiled. “It should be my old seat, I called the manager.”
The waiter said, “The manager has already told me. Please, come with me.”
The table that Mr. Riley reserved was next to a window. It was a small, square wooden table that allowed seating for four. Charlie and Mr. Riley sat across one another with the window at their side.
Mr. Riley pushed a menu towards Charlie “Charlie, take a look. See what looks good for you.”
Charlie waved his hand and smiled, “Come now Uncle Riley, what would you order? I’ll follow your example” favonovel.com suddenly noticed two familiar figures just past Mr. Riley’s shoulder, sitting at the next windowed table.
These were the same two people favonovel.com saw from Mr. Riley’s office window.
