when we finished the ceremony it was raining so we wanted to find a restaurant to eat lunch then drive back / we wanted to wait for the rain to get better
We found the n1 restaurant on the app. When we arrived there it was full.
I asked the boss and he told me there is no free  table, you have to wait.
If you must eat / if you are sure about eating here you may have to wait for 1h. I told him ok I can wait and then they didn’t even give us a menu but I wrote the order  and I waited for a table. They didn’t give us drink.
After 1h , we got a table and ate the food. It was very good. Very cheap. Four people spend CNY219  -> we spent CNY 219 for four people.That day we went to Taiping lake.  I asked my sister could you want to eat something for dinner -> I asked my sister do you want to eat dinner ? / have you had/eaten dinner ?
