When Lu Xiaozhan made all the preparations, Guo Jiaping and Liang Ce also arrived. Before he could call, the two of them had already entered the kitchen to start. With the help of these two new forces, Lu Xiaozhan's speed obviously increased.
A leap in improvement.
Before the sun set, all the invited people had arrived, and Lu Xiaozhan didn't bother to say hello to each of them. Only when Zhu Congwen sent Secretary Xiang to deliver Mrs. Zhu, he left the kitchen and chatted with his godmother for a few words, and then
Then he turned around and threw himself into the busy kitchen.
The weather is very good today. Lu Man suggested having dinner on the rooftop on the third floor and admiring the moon. After everyone agreed, he and Jiang Siyan began to decorate it. The chairs were all Western-style armchairs, and three tables were put together.
It turned into a long table, with all the bowls, chopsticks and cups arranged neatly. In the center of the table was a crystal vase with a handful of fragrant golden osmanthus.
Lu Xiaozhan finished cleaning up the kitchen, changed his clothes and walked up. Seeing that the tables and chairs were ready, he clapped his hands and shouted: "The first Nanshan Flower View Cup Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Dinner has officially begun! Everyone, please take a seat!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pan Weier and He Dandan had already taken the lead and sat in the middle position on both sides of the long table. It was the closest and most convenient position to all the dishes on the table. Ding Feng was stunned and quickly sat next to He Dandan before anyone else.
, and Yuan Yilin and Wang Lu also rushed to Pan Weier and sat down at almost the same time.
Xu pulled Ye Zhenzhen and Zhang Xixi to sit on the other side of Pan Weier. Lu Xiaozhan glanced at Pan Weier who was holding her chopsticks and was full of energy. He lowered his voice and said to Ye Zhenzhen: "Crazy girl, please stay a while."
You can't be polite, this girl is known as a foodie, if you want to be polite to her, you'll have to starve to see the moon."
Pan Weier suddenly stood up, walked to Lu Xiaozhan and looked at his face with suspicion. She even reached out and grabbed his cheek, shook her head and said: "You are definitely not my brother. My brother will never look at other girls."
Kill me like this!"
Ding Feng has sharp ears, and he also listened to Lu Xiaozhan's words. He couldn't help but curiously poked He Dandan beside him: "Hey, Amber Girl is a snack food, who is the big foodie?"
He Dandan looked at the food in front of him without squinting, and simply replied with one word: "Me!"
Ding Feng was startled: "What about cabbage? Isn't he quite edible?"
He Dandan said no more, but his face was full of disdain.
Zheng Junguang acted like a gentleman and pulled out a chair for Qiu Ye to sit down. Qiu Ye smiled and thanked her gently, but his eyes went straight to the plate of squirrel mandarin fish in front of Ye Zhenzhen, who was sitting diagonally across the corner.
Lu Xiaozhan saw this, walked to Zheng Junguang, moved the plate of prawns in front of Qiu Ye, moved the fish in front of Ye Zhenzhen, and then moved the plate of prunes in front of Liang Ce.
The baked pork chop was placed in front of Ye Zhenzhen.
This seemingly inadvertent movement made Ye Zhenzhen's heart move. This baked pork chop with prunes was a dish that Lu Xiaozhan had cooked when he lived at her house. In the days when they lived together, she often pestered Lu Xiaozhan to give it to her.
It can be said that it is her favorite dish. Seeing Lu Xiaozhan put the pork chop in front of him calmly, this already shows that he has not forgotten her, but there is still a person sitting next to him who is better than her in every aspect.
His fiancée An Qi... Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but glance at him secretly, feeling extremely confused in her heart.
Mrs. Zhu is wearing a purple satin gown today. She has not been so happy for a long time since Zhu Congwen took office as the secretary of the Tianhai Municipal Party Committee. Seeing the lively appearance of the group of boys and girls in front of her, she can't help but squint her eyes with joy. Lu Xiaozhan helps her
She sat at the top of the long table, and sat next to the old lady to accompany her. An Qi found a bottle of rice wine from somewhere, came to the old lady and poured half a glass of it for her, and gently poured it for her.
He thoughtfully laid a tablecloth in front of the old lady, then turned around and sat next to Lu Xiaozhan.
Lu Man was the head of the family, so he naturally sat at the other end of the long table. Guo Jiaping and Liang Ce sat down in the direction where she started. Seeing everyone taking their seats, Lu Man stood up with a cup in hand and said with a smile: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Everyone raised their glasses: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
A bright moon gradually rose and hung in the sky, casting a soft silver light. Everyone on the rooftop exchanged glasses, talked and laughed.
…
There is a small forest outside the gate of Nanshan Huajing Villa Area. Three off-road vehicles drove in from a distance and parked at the edge of the forest. On the front and rear license plates, there was a big red "Hundred Years of Good Cooperation" stickers.
”.
At this time, a European man wearing a large windbreaker got out of the first car. He had a cigarette in his mouth, walked and twisted with dance steps, came to the second car, leaned against the door and knocked on the window glass.
.
The car door opened, and another European man got out of the car. Different from the man in the trench coat, this man had a full beard and a capable light shining in his deep-set eye sockets. It was already quite cool in Tianhai City at this time, but
However, he was only wearing a tight-fitting short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of camouflage pants that were not old and new.
The man in the trench coat touched him with his elbow, but looked at the gate of Nanshan Flower View in the distance: "How about Parker, should you go up or should I?"
The bearded Hu Parker said: "The task I received is to go in with you. Which one should I go with or you?"
The man in the windbreaker shook his head and said: "Tsk tsk... I have never been in the habit of completing tasks with others. It's embarrassing."
Parker glanced at him with disdain: "Just for your reputation? You must know that our target is the Phoenix. If we act separately, it will not be as simple as humiliation. I am afraid we will lose our lives."
The man in the trench coat took a puff of cigarette, blew out a big smoke ring towards Parker, put on a strange smile on his lips, and said slowly: "The mission completion rate of the Phoenix is 100%, but I, the fisherman, have never missed a fish.
, even a very small one... Phoenix can have such a reputation now because he is lucky and has never met me. Do you think I am afraid of losing my life? "
Parker shrugged his shoulders: "Well, you can continue to smoke here, we will go in first, but then you don't want to compete with us for this salary."
The fisherman made a greeting gesture with his cigarette fingers, and said with a smile: "Waiting for the good news." Parker ignored him and gestured to the two cars behind him.
The car door opened wide, and nine men dressed like him jumped out of the car one after another. The difference was that Parker had nothing in his hands, and all nine of them held a polished automatic rifle in their hands. Each man had a polished automatic rifle in his waist.
There were also a few grenades hanging.
The fisherman glanced at Parker and said, "Okay, I didn't want to say it at first, but Parker, are you going to kill the phoenix with your bare hands?"
Parker raised his right leg, patted a dagger inserted in his ankle, and said proudly: "In my opinion, the dagger is more reliable and more deadly than any thermal weapon."
The fisherman shrugged and said nothing. Parker glanced back at the nine people behind him, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Action."
