Sharing a Table

Zhang Zian had been waiting for some time now, periodically checking the time on his phone. It was originally expected to take around half an hour, but there was a couple ahead of him who had left the line mid-way. Something must have came up for them or maybe it was the cold weather, but he only had to wait for about 20 minutes before entering the restaurant.

After the last customer left, Aunt Li cleared the table for the next guest. She was surprised when she saw Zhang Zian. "Master Zhang, didn't you say that you didn't need a delivery today?"

Zhang Zian had notified them earlier saying that he didn't need food that day. The barbecued meat would be enough for the cats and dogs. Both Aunt Li and Uncle Li thought that Zhang Zian was heading out on some business, and they didn't expect him to come down in person for his meal.
