Order Delivery Food On The Internet
(Do) you know? Now everyone(/we) can order delivery food on the Internet. Ordering delivery food (is) especially simple. On the website there are every “jia” (of) restaurant’s menu, on the menu there are names and prices of each “dao” (of) dish. After ordering dish on the Internet, the restaurant will very fast let the server deliver the delivery food for you.
Before, I every day (by my)self cook meals, sometimes (I) also go out to eat. Last month, I (for) the first time ordered delivery food on the Internet. I ordered two “dao” (of) dishes. The dishes deliver especially quick, (they are) also especially tasty! Now, I every week all would order delivery food. This week I ordered (for) four times, because I got sick, (my) body (feels) especially uncomfortable, (I) don’t want to (by my)self cook meal.
When work (is) the busiest, the company would work overtime, me and (my) coworkers also love to order delivery food in the office. Today (the person who) ordered delivery food is Manager Zhou, (it was) beef noodles and lamb dumplings (that) he ordered for us. This month, this “jia” (of) restaurant we ordered twice (from). Their noodles and dumplings (are) both very special, because (it was) themselves (who) made (them), (it was) not in the shop (that they were) bought (from), (they were) especially tasty. After waiting (for) 30 minutes, the delivery food arrived. This “dun” (of) meal we ate (for) 20 minutes, everyone all ate very fast, because after eating (we) still need to go back to the office to work.
