Yan Xiaoliu snapped out of it, once again catching a whiff of a sweet, fresh aroma. He followed the scent to a nearby table. It was just a spread of shrimp and crabs. 'How can they give off such a sweet smell?'
On another table, a pot was stewing away, BUBBLE BUBBLE. A group of people were laughing and chatting as they added slices of raw meat, swished them around a couple of times, then picked them out to dip in small bowls before eating. It was all very strange.
Bai Xiaolang patiently asked again, "Sir, are you here to eat? Just one person?"
Yan Xiaoliu snapped back to reality and nodded quickly. "Are those smells all coming from the food?"
Bai Xiaolang nodded. He was used to this reaction; basically, every new customer went through the same routine.
Yan Xiaoliu said hurriedly, "In that case, I'll eat! I want to order, let me order."
Bai Xiaolang said, "Since you're by yourself, I can take you to a window seat on the second floor."
Yan Xiaoliu was thrilled. "Great, great."
