After the renovation, the private dining rooms at Changleju are quite exquisitely done, spacious for large parties and delicate for smaller ones.
For example, Director Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were led into a small but ingeniously designed private room that was neither too vast nor too cramped, with just the right touch of rustic charm and simplicity accompanying the richness of the food.
So much so, that Mrs. Zhao was still in a delightful mood when she sat down and asked the waiter beside her:
"What are the house specialties tonight?"
The waiter almost instinctively began to say "silver ear mushroom soup," but then abruptly swallowed his words, and with a beaming smile, presented the menu:
"Anything on our gourmet menu is sure to please as long as you're willing to try it."
"Oh!" Mrs. Zhao was a bit taken aback: "Seems quite a bit pricier than before, huh?"
