Jia Qingpeng and Uncle Xu opened the door and walked in!
As soon as he entered the door, Jia Qingpeng smiled and greeted Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I have heard of your name a long time ago. When I saw you today, you are really young and promising!"
As he spoke, he extended his hand to shake Ye Chen’s hand!
In response, Ye Chen naturally stood up and shook hands with Jia Qingpeng: "Rewards, awards, awards, but compared to you, Boss Jia, you are still far behind!"
Jia Qingpeng smiled and said: "Don't be so outspoken. We are all people in Anton's business. If you don't mind, just call me Lao Jia, haha!"
Ye Chen was not polite at all: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders! Old Jia!"
Hearing this, Su Guojuan, who was sitting next to her, muttered slightly sourly: "Haha! You really don't want to be so cool, I can call you whatever I want!"
"Mr. Ye, please sit down!"
Jia Qingpeng made a gesture to Ye Chen!
Ye Chen sat down.
Jia Qingpeng sat opposite Ye Chen, with Su Guojuan between them.
Da Zhuang sat on Ye Chen's right side.
As for Uncle Xu, he was standing behind Jia Qingpeng and did not sit down!
Seeing this, Ye Chen asked: "Old Jia, we agreed to hold a banquet tonight. I thought there would be a lot of people. Why are there just us and no one else?"
Jia Qingpeng replied with a normal expression: "I'm getting older, I don't like liveliness very much, and I don't have many friends, so I just thought it would be simpler to have two less people!"
Of course, the food and everything else will definitely satisfy you!”
As he said this, he glanced at Uncle Xu, who nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out of the room to order the food to be served!
Not a moment.
There was a tall and beautiful girl carrying dishes one after another and placing them on the table!
It’s just that these dishes don’t look appetizing!
A whole pig's head!
White tofu!
Blanched chicken!
…
Eighteen dishes in total!
And the types and styles of these eighteen dishes are clearly the local custom of Andong City - dishes used to commemorate the death of a person!
According to the old man, after death, you have to pass through eighteen passes before going to Naihe Bridge. Each pass is guarded by a ghost, and if you want to pass, you will be served a delicious dish!
These eighteen dishes are equivalent to the "travel money" of eighteen passes!
Only by paying all the money to buy the way can you safely board the Naihe Bridge and go to the afterlife!
Therefore, after someone dies in Anton, these eighteen dishes will be cooked specially, and the type of each dish is specified!
So of course Ye Chen knows it very well!
Su Guojuan was slightly stunned when she saw these eighteen dishes!
I didn't expect that Jia Qingpeng would be so aggressive when he came up. It seems that things are getting more and more interesting!
Jia Qingpeng poured Ye Chen a glass of liquor and another glass for himself!
He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Ye, the food has been served, shall we go first?"
Stand up and raise your glass to Ye Chen!
Ye Chen also raised his glass!
Snapped!
The two of them touched each other lightly, then each of them lay on his back and finished it off in one go!
“Good drinker!”
Jia Qingpeng gave Ye Chen a thumbs up gesture, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Ye, would you please use your chopsticks?"
Ye Chen scanned the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "The host didn't even use his chopsticks. How could I, a junior who came to visit me, dare to break the rules and use my chopsticks first?"
Jia Qingpeng: "It's okay, we don't need to follow these old rules in our house!"
Ye Chen said: "There are some basic rules that you still have to abide by, otherwise it will be chaos! So, Lao Jia, please use the chopsticks first?"
Jia Qingpeng shook his head: "As the saying goes, guests do as they please. If I ask you to use the chopsticks first, you use the chopsticks first!"
Ye Chen was neither humble nor overbearing: "As the saying goes, ladies come first. I think it's inappropriate for either of us to use the chopsticks first. Why don't we let Ms. Su Guojuan start first?"
"What?"
Su Guojuan expressed her confusion!
The reason why she came here tonight was to see Ye Chen make a fool of himself!
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen would transfer the point of conflict to her?
If this is a good thing given to her, it doesn't matter!
The point is that she should be the first to eat the dishes used to commemorate the dead?
Just thinking about it makes me feel bad!
So Su Guojuan quickly declined: "I'm really not suitable for this dish...!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen interrupted: "Oh? So you don't want to give Lao Jia face? I have worked so hard to prepare these eighteen dishes. If you refuse, I will be the first to refuse.
, I’m not in the mood to continue eating this meal tonight!”
As he said this, he deliberately looked like he was about to get angry!
But Su Guojuan was so angry!
I thought to myself, you little brat can really act!
Why not become an actor?
So she looked at Jia Qingpeng with a look of help!
Jia Qingpeng also didn't expect that Ye Chen would use this method to deflect conflicts.
But he couldn't find a reason to refute Ye Chen, so he had to follow Ye Chen's wishes and said: "Mr. Ye is right, Juanzi, just take a bite first!"
"Okay...okay!"
Su Guojuan could only nod unwillingly and pick up the chopsticks!
For a moment, I didn’t know how to eat it. After all, these dishes are fine on their own, but putting them together like this is really unappetizing!
Just when she was about to use her chopsticks.
But Ye Chen suddenly opened his mouth and sighed softly: "I'm afraid Brother Yangcheng will like such a delicious dish!"
Mentioned Jia Yangcheng.
Su Guojuan subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Jia Yangcheng's posthumous photo!
Under the reflection of room light, the surface of the photo is blurry.
Suddenly I felt that Jia Yangcheng’s eyes in the photo were staring at me!
"Oh my god!"
Su Guojuan was so frightened that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks in her hands and dropped them to the ground!
Seeing this, Jia Qingpeng asked: "Juanzi, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No...nothing, I just accidentally shook my hand!"
Su Guojuan answered with some guilt!
Worried that her strangeness would be discovered, Su Guojuan quickly adjusted her emotions and expressions to stabilize herself!
"It's okay, I'll just use another pair of chopsticks to eat!"
As he said that, he took out a new pair of chopsticks from the side, picked up a piece of white meat very "nonchalantly", and ate it with a big mouthful. While eating, he praised: "Tsk, tsk! This piece of meat tastes good, it's really amazing!"
I have to say, this expression switching speed is really fast!
It did not make Jia Qingpeng suspicious.
However, Ye Chen kept this reaction in mind, but did not open his mouth to dwell on this topic any longer!
Su Guojuan ate all the white meat and showed an expression of "still not finished".
He turned to Ye Chen and said: "Ye Chen, I have already eaten, the food is quite hard (meaning great), now it's your turn to use the chopsticks!"
Ye Chen smiled and shook his head: "I suddenly remembered that I might not be able to eat this meal!"
Su Guojuan frowned slightly: "What do you mean? It seems you don't want to give Uncle Jia face?"
"I didn't mean that!"
Ye Chen said with a helpless look: "I have always been suffering from stomach discomfort. The doctor said that I can't eat "hard" food and can only eat soft rice! So I really can't eat this meal!"
Su Guojuan stared and said in disbelief: "Why haven't I heard that you can only eat soft rice? Don't fool people!"
Ye Chen spread his hands and said, "Who fooled you? Everyone in Andong City knows that I am the son-in-law who comes here to eat soft rice! Is there a problem?"
