Marcos looked at the yard in front of him. He had no idea if this was the farmhouse restaurant that her mother had told him about before.
“I’m looking forward to it after all those things you’ve told me,” said Marcos.
“Let’s go in. I’ve reserved a private room. It won’t be too noisy,” replied Tina. She pushed the door open and invited them.
Marcos said gentlemanly, “Ladies first.”
Luca did not delay any longer and stepped into the restaurant first. Andy was holding the door, signaling Tina to enter the restaurant first.
Tina knew they were gentlemen, so she did not say a word and followed behind Luca. After the two ladies entered the restaurant, Marcos stepped into the restaurant.
Tina was close with the owner of the restaurant here. That was why she was able to reserve a private room at the last minute. The female owner came up and led the way when she saw Tina. She brought the four of them to the private room.
The private room was nicely decorated. There were barely any green plants growing in A City as it was still the winter season. Hence, the green plants in the room were fake, but that did not affect the unique design of the interior.
There was an indoor water fountain in the room, surrounded by stalks of bamboo. It made them feel like they were in an idyllic and beautiful paradise.
The female owner asked Tina after she served them tea, “You brought foreign friends this time, Ms. Tina. I don’t know how to speak other languages, so I might need your help translating what they say.”
“No problem,” replied Tina.
“Does everyone eat spicy food?” The female owner asked while holding a menu, but she did not hand the menu to them.
Tina had dined with Luca several times before, and she knew Luca could handle spicy food. Hence, she did not ask Luca and just asked Marcos, “Mr. Marcos, Mr. Andy, are you able to handle spicy food?”
“Yes,” Andy nodded, and he added, “Boss can take spicy food too.”
“Everyone can take spicy food, and the budget is exactly how much I told you the last time,” replied Tina after getting their answers.
The female owner gave them a warm smile and replied, “Okay. Let me prepare your dishes now. One moment, please.”
Although Marcos could not understand what she said, he could briefly understand what the female owner was talking about from her hand gestures. He asked Tina with curiosity, “Aren’t we going to order?”
Tina smiled, shook her head, and explained, "The ingredients for restaurants like these usually come from the owner’s farm. The owner of this restaurant owns a farm too, but it's located in the suburbs. Fresh ingredients are delivered here every morning, but there are different ingredients throughout the year and it depends on the seasons too. Besides, the ingredients delivered might not be the same every day. That's why the farmhouse restaurant doesn't have a fixed menu. The owner will prepare random dishes for the customers based on the ingredients they get every day. They only have to figure out if we can take spicy food and our budget. Then, the owner will prepare the dishes for us."
Luca added, “Authentic local foods are usually done like this. The dishes served will taste good as they use fresh and organic ingredients. They won’t look for suppliers who can supply a lot of ingredients for them like the restaurants in the city. That’s why it’s normal to run their business this way.”
“I see. I’ve learned something new today,” said Marcos. He nodded, thinking that it was quite interesting to him. Then, he turned to look at Luca and asked, “Ms. Craw, are there any updates from Mr. Crawford lately?”
“Mr. Crawford is busy with the acquisition project. We haven’t received any news that he’s coming back soon.” Luca thought Marcos was asking when Luke would be back. After all, there were certain things he had to discuss with Luke.
Luca and Tina were only here to entertain him. They could not decide anything on behalf of the company.
“Well, I guess he’ll be back soon,” Marcos said thoughtfully. Matysh would be traveling to A City soon if Luke was not coming back yet. Something might happen to Luca by the time Luke arrived.
Andy, who was sitting beside him, heard the conversation between them. He was secretly hoping that Luke would not return so soon.
“Hmm, I’m not sure about that. Mr. Crawford wouldn’t mention his work progress to us.” Luca smiled.
Tina went along and asked, “Mr. Marcos, do you intend to meet our boss?”
