: Demarcation of territory as a prison

Everyone sat down at the table with Yan Zhendong. Yan Zhendong said: Nephew Cao Xian, what do you want to eat?

Cao Yu said respectfully: I do whatever I want, I will listen to you.

Yan Zhendong said: Well, you will take charge of this place today. We are not outsiders, and I won’t be polite to you. Let me order something. If it doesn’t suit your taste, can you bring it up?

Of course, Cao Yu could tell that there was something in Yan Zhendong's words, and he regarded this place as his home. This was clearly Yan Zhendong's home! Even though Yan Zhendong was always amiable, this was Yan Zhendong's home ground, and Yan Zhendong's strong aura was everywhere.

Cao Yu's previous majesty was gone, and all he had was a sense of embarrassment, which made him even forget to resist, and all that was left in his heart was obedience. This feeling he had was the feeling that a future son-in-law would have when he met his father-in-law for the first time.

Regardless of whether Cao Yu is willing to admit it or not, he subconsciously has other thoughts about Yan Tingting at this time. Human intuition is so powerful. It was an extremely wise decision for him not to go to Yan Tingting's house at the beginning.

It's still the same here. He doesn't have the time to think too much now, and he is sincerely convinced: Okay, I'll listen to you.

Yan Zhendong nodded with satisfaction and said to the restaurant manager: I will be simple today and do everything according to the old rules, so as not to let her mother and daughter talk about me all the time.

Of course Yan Tingting could feel that her father was completely in control of the situation. She was very proud of Cao Yu's submission in front of her father. She wanted to help her father build the fence so that Cao Yu would obey obediently, so she smiled and said

:Dad, how dare I say that to you! Just go ahead and do whatever you want.

Yan Zhendong ignored his daughter's grab for the spot and continued to talk to the restaurant manager with a smile: Tingting is the eldest daughter of our family. She told me not to spend too much money today. How dare I not listen?!

Cao Yu was completely unaware that the father and daughter were singing in harmony, performing an oboe in front of him, and even helping to build the fence together: That's right, Tingting is right, we are all our own people, I am not your client, don't be too cautious

You're welcome.

Yan Tingting's face turned red. She subconsciously glanced at her mother and saw Chen Ruoshui looking at her lovingly and smiling. She quickly covered her face with a wet towel for fear that others would see her shyly snickering. Yan Zhendong saw this.

In his eyes, he laughed and said: Well, I will just order it, one sea tiger fin for each person. This shark cannot eat too big ones, too big ones will accumulate more heavy metals, and the content will exceed the standard. If they are too small, they will have a fishy smell.

, this sea tiger fin is just right, let’s make a clear soup.

The restaurant manager wrote down the menu with a pen and said: OK, Mr. Yan.

Yan Zhendong said: Nephew Cao and I each want a piece of abalone. We want South African abalone, not too big. There are other dishes. We can’t waste it, so let’s just have 8 heads.

The restaurant manager said: OK.

Yan Zhendong explained to Cao Yu: These abalones are actually the same. Whether they are Japanese or Australian, it makes no difference whether I eat them or not. This South African abalone is big and the meat is tight and elastic. Just because of the large production, the price is affordable.

These, nephew Cao Xian, what do you think?

Cao Yu said honestly: I usually eat very little of these high-end things, let alone eat them. I listen to you.

Yan Zhendong smiled and said: Well, the two ladies will come to the bird's nest. They want Malay blood swallows to replenish the blood, and papaya to stew. There is no need to add nine kinds of small ingredients. Her mother wants yam, and my daughter wants vanilla milkshake.

Yan Tingting said with a flattering smile: It's amazing, you can still remember my mother's taste.

Yan Zhendong said: What are you talking about? Look at when I forgot about it.

Then he turned to his wife and said: By the way, do you want papaya stewed with snow clams?

Chen Ruoshui quickly waved his hand and said: No, no, I can't eat any more.

Yan Tingting saw that Yan Zhendong didn't even intend to ask what she meant, so she couldn't help but deliberately said angrily: Huh, Lao Yan, why don't you ask me? You know how to care about my mother!

Yan Zhendong didn't ask Yan Tingting, but he knew that this precious daughter was losing weight and was yelling about not eating all day long, so he smiled and deliberately teased her: "This snow clam is a great supplement. Aren't you still young? You will need it anytime."

?

Of course Yan Tingting knew that Yan Zhendong was acting inappropriately again, but she couldn't get angry immediately in front of Cao Yu, so she protested loudly: "Then you can't just pretend to ask, you're really rude!"

Yan Zhendong laughed and said: I always thought my daughter had a bird's stomach and only ate bird food. When did her appetite become so good? If this trend continues, I'm afraid even people will want to eat it in the future!

Cao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Cao Yu's bad look, Yan Tingting thought it was about her cannibalism and couldn't help but cursed: Cao Yu, why are you laughing and holding it back? I know you don't have any good intentions!

She was even more angry that Yan Zhendong was embarrassing her in front of Cao Yu. He stood up and hit Yan Zhendong and said: I told you to talk nonsense! I told you to talk nonsense!

Yan Zhendong smiled and quickly raised his hand to block his daughter's pink fist. Chen Ruoshui laughed and said: Okay, Tingting, stop making trouble.

Then he said to Cao Yu: Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, the father and daughter made trouble as soon as they met, which made you laugh.

Cao Yu has actually felt that this family is different from his own. If their family could be described as serious, tense, and respectful as guests, Yan Tingting's family is united and lively, no matter how big or small. The warmth of this kind of family suddenly makes people feel.

Cao Yu's heart flowed through, making him feel particularly relaxed and comfortable. He couldn't help but yearn for it, and he quickly waved his hands to hide it and said: It's okay, it's okay, I think this is good, I didn't mean to smile.

Yan Tingting complained coquettishly to her mother: Mom, look at him, he is so old and naughty.

Chen Ruoshui smiled and said: Okay, you two, stop making trouble. I guess Cao Yu's stomach is growling with hunger. Tingting, please let your dad order the food quickly, otherwise he won't be able to eat.

Cao Yu quickly said politely: It's okay, I'm not hungry.

Yan Tingting then gave up and returned to her seat to sit down. However, she was still angry and asked Cao Yu reluctantly: "Cao Yu, tell the truth, were you laughing about cannibalism just now?"

Cao Yu helplessly defended: I really didn't, I just remembered that the effect of this snow clam is not to strengthen the body, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang as Uncle Yan said.

Yan Zhendong asked curiously: Oh, what is the effect of that?

Cao Yudao: No, I just heard it from hearsay. I heard from the local people in the Northeast that the pilot had to take a few drops of snow clam oil before setting up the plane every time.

Yan Tingting also asked strangely: Why is that?

Cao Yudao: I heard that this snow clam has the same effect as coriander, nourishing yin and reducing dryness. After being eaten by pilots, they will concentrate on flying the plane in the sky and will not destroy the plane with random thoughts.

Yan Tingting wondered: Why is that? By the way, why is coriander the same?

Cao Yu said: Yes, every spring, the villagers feed the donkeys bunches of coriander to prevent it from barking.

After hearing this, Yan Zhendong suddenly realized and laughed loudly and said: If this is the case, it is quite suitable for our Tingting to eat.

Chen Ruoshui couldn't help but frowned. Only then did Yan Tingting realize what Cao Yu meant. She was so angry that she stamped her feet. She didn't know who would be more angry if she hit them. She couldn't help complaining to her mother aggrievedly: "Mom."

, look at them both, they both have the same bad taste, it’s really annoying.

Cao Yu also felt that something was wrong at this time. He really didn't think so much before. In this situation, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to tease Yan Tingting. He just thought it was fun and casually

He used it to mend the wall, but unexpectedly Yan Zhendong stabbed the hornet's nest again. The one who took the blame was wronged. If there was anything I could do, just blame myself for being rude, so I had to defend myself hurriedly: Tingting, you

Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking about this.

Yan Tingting was so angry that she just wanted to cry, and said angrily: Cao Yu, you bastard, you are full of nonsense, I don’t want to care about you anymore.

Yan Zhendong acted as if nothing was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and came to the rescue: Tingting, don't do this, he was joking, don't be angry.

Yan Tingting complained: Is there such a joke? No matter the occasion!

Cao Yu felt that something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: I'm sorry, Tingting, I didn't mean to do it, I apologize to you.

What Yan Tingting wanted was for Cao Yu to admit his mistake in front of her, and immediately said with a straight face: Remember next time, don't bully me again!

Cao Yu shrugged helplessly, speechless with grievance. When Yan Tingting saw it, she burst into tears and said with a smile: You know quite a lot, I can give you more food in the future.

Cao Yu quickly said: This food is for women, I don’t want it.

Yan Tingting glared at Cao Yu and said: Who said I would give you this? I said coriander.

After saying this, he even laughed out loud. Cao Yu immediately wanted to fight back, but after thinking about it, he felt it was wrong. He didn't dare to provoke this girl anymore because he couldn't get any advantage, so he could only swallow his words again.

Being held back in the moment, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Yan Tingting was naturally very proud to see Cao Yu's embarrassed look. When Yan Zhendong saw it, he had nothing to say, so he could only shake his head, smiled and continued to order: "I want lobster."

Aolong, 4-5 pounds, can be eaten in two. Don’t fry it. There is no meat in the shrimp skin, so just put it in the porridge. What’s the fish today?

The restaurant manager said: We have all the things you usually eat, including grouper, dragonfly, and sumei. What kind of food do you want to have?

Yan Zhendong said: Then come to Su Mei.

Then he turned to Cao Yu and said: Su Mei is tenderer than grouper and tastes very good. What do you think?

Even though Cao Yu has a prominent family background, as a leader, his family's meals are usually not as extravagant as those of businessmen like Yan Zhendong. Some of them include abalone, lobster, etc., but they are all minor roles.

The things Zhendong ordered were just legends to him. Some of them he had never even heard of, let alone eaten. He couldn't even tell the difference between high and low, so he said honestly and honestly: Okay

, I really don’t understand any of this, I just listen to you.

Yan Zhendong was very satisfied that Cao Yu did not understand and pretended to understand. He smiled and said: You are very candid, which is good.

Turning to the restaurant manager, he said: "Then let's order a piece of soy sauce. It should be 1 and a half kilograms. Don't make it too big. Since the soy sauce is for its tenderness, it shouldn't be too big. The heat must be just right. Steam it for 6 minutes. Don't make it too big."

After that, it won’t taste good when it gets old.

The restaurant manager said while taking note: Okay, Mr. Yan, I understand.

Yan Zhendong said: The side dish is kale, stir-fried. Let’s see what else everyone wants to order?

The restaurant manager said, "You haven't ordered the soup yet. Do you want to have a Buddha jump over the wall?"

Yan Zhendong said: If you don't tell me, I forgot to order the soup, but I don't want it. Everything in it is already there. What kind of soup is it today?

The restaurant manager said: Fish maw and pork knuckle soup, winter melon and pork ribs soup.

Yan Zhendong reflected: It seems that my customer care is still not good enough. I don't like soup, so I always forget to order soup. Let's see which one you want to drink?

Cao Yu said: I don’t like soup either, let’s take a look at Auntie and Tingting.

Chen Ruoshui said: That's almost it. Isn't the shark's fin soup? There are only a few of us who don't eat much, so don't waste it.

Yan Zhendong said: If the soup doesn't take up much space, let's have a sea cucumber. Just one for each person. For clear soup, I want 5-year-old Japanese sea cucumber, the fresh kind, not the dried kind.

Yan Zhendong looked at Cao Yu again and said, "Look, what's the staple food?"
