The restaurant is decorated in an antique style, with five large round tables inside. Wine and delicacies have been placed on them, and the steaming aroma spreads in the air.? ? ?
The round table in the north is Shangguan Lie's exclusive dining spot. The dishes have also been upgraded to a higher level, including authentic Yellow River carp, bear paws from the Northeast and other delicacies. The wine is Maotai that has been stored in the cellar for many years.
On weekdays, Shangguan Lie always sits at his own table, and is served by dignified-looking maids with graceful figures. He is absolutely elegant and shows his extraordinary status in the family.
The other four tables all have the same ingredients, including chicken, duck, and fish, which is quite rich. Compared with the table of the old man, it is much inferior. The table to the east is where Shangguan Hai and other second generations eat, and the other three tables are surrounded by those who eat.
Sun Nudi's daughter.
Sometimes, Shangguan Lie will commend his children or grandchildren who have contributed to the family and let one or two of them dine at the same table with him. It is simply a great honor and makes other family members envious.
Now Qiu Yu is getting this kind of treatment, Shangguan Lie said: "Xiao Yu, you can sit at the same table with me."
Qiu Yu didn't know the rules of the Shangguan family, and felt envy and jealousy in everyone's eyes. He was quite puzzled and agreed indifferently, "Then I will have a few drinks with senior Shangguan."
Shangguan Yunzhu said quickly: "Grandpa, Xiaoyu and I are an unmarried couple. We are so loving, can you have the heart to separate us and make us sit at different tables?"
Shangguan Lie laughed dumbly and said: "You quirky little girl, okay, you come over too, and the three of us will sit at the same table."
In everyone's jealous eyes, Qiu Yu and Shangguan Yunzhu sat next to the old man. The two servant girls with good looks and tender skin who stood beside them added bowls, chopsticks and cups, opened the Moutai wine and poured it in.
.
Shangguan Lie said in a kind voice: "Xiaoyu, this is your home, feel free to do whatever you want, don't be polite."
This sentence made Qiu Yu's scalp numb. To be honest, he didn't want to integrate into this big family. He just wanted to break off the engagement with Guan Yunzhu. It was best not to have any contact with each other until death. However, under the current situation, he could not put forward his true thoughts and could only
Against his will, he nodded and agreed, "I will."
Many family members were already seated and gathered around the table, but no one took chopsticks. Even the youngest child, only about three or four years old, was very well-behaved and looked at the old man expectantly.
In this compound, the old man is the absolute authority. Just like the emperor in ancient times, if he doesn't speak out while eating, others will not dare to eat first.
Finally, Shangguan Lie said: "Let's eat." Those family members held their chopsticks to eat. Because the old man was here, only Shangguan Hai and others could speak in a low voice. The other grandchildren could only bury their heads in eating, and no one dared to make a sound.
Shangguan Lie's emperor-like behavior surprised Qiu Yu. He saw two maids serving him the whole time. Wherever the old man looked, the maid used long ebony chopsticks to pick up the dish and put it on the plate, removing the bones or
The harpoon is then passed to the master's mouth, and the same is true for drinking. You don't need to do it yourself, the servant girl directly brings the cup to your mouth.
Damn it, even the emperor can only do this! Qiu Yu secretly sighed, thinking that the old man really knows how to enjoy it, and couldn't help but think of his master, the boxing saint Yanchi who is as famous as his opponent.
Compared with Shangguan Lie, Yan Chi's life is simply that of a poor and lower-middle peasant. He wears old clothes all year round. When eating, he fights with Qiu Yu and four other old guys. Eating is like fighting. Whoever eats slowly may not be able to eat.
They are full, so no matter how hot the food is, as long as it is placed on the table, the five elders and one child will rush over like wild dogs after seeing the meat. After a meal, their mouths will often be burned or their bodies will be covered with rice grains.
Thinking back on the Japanese vegetable soup, Qiu Yu found it very funny and missed the old days very much.
It's been more than a year since he went down the mountain, and Qiu Yu hasn't returned to Huanshan yet. He really misses those five old guys who don't care about him. People are so weird. When he went down the mountain, he thought that he would never see five old guys who didn't care about him again.
When people look at old guys, they never thought that they would miss them after only one year.
"Xiaoyu, try this drunken shrimp."
As the voice of gentle breeze and drizzle came out, Shangguan Yunzhu put a drunken shrimp peeled by her own hands on the plate in front of Qiu Yu, showing her virtuousness. This was the first time she peeled shrimp for others, letting those who stole it
The family members who paid attention to her were very surprised. What happened if she changed her temper? Is she pretending or showing her true feelings?
"Thank you." Qiu Yu responded politely, speaking from the bottom of his heart, he felt that the women around him were very disgusting at the beginning, but as they got along with each other for a period of time, they were not so annoying anymore.
Shangguan Yunzhu didn't eat much of the meal herself, but served Qiu Yu with tenderness and kindness. She seemed to have changed into a completely pampered person. It can be seen that this woman is not only smart, but also has a tough character. In order to achieve her goal
Do whatever it takes, even compromise.
Many family members were shocked. What happened? Did Pearl really fall in love?
Shangguan Lie had almost finished eating and said, "Xiaoyu, it's getting late. You can stay here tonight and get to know Zhuer more. After all, you are too busy and we usually don't have time to meet."
Qiu Yu felt embarrassed and quickly said: "I'd better go back and won't disturb you anymore."
Shangguan Lie reprimanded: "You kid said stupid things and talked about nothing to disturb me. This is your home. If you don't listen to me, you don't take me seriously."
"I..." Qiu Yu hesitated and didn't know how to refuse. After all, the old man was kind to him. If he kept refusing, he would be embarrassed.
Shangguan Lie said: "There is no need to shirk it. Young people must respect the elder's decision. That's it. I will have a long talk with you tomorrow morning. You must not slip away."
Qiu Yu could only nod helplessly, "I'll just listen to senior."
Shangguan Yunzhu couldn't help but feel happy, and secretly praised in his heart, "Jiang is still hot as he is old, grandpa is really awesome, he created opportunities for me inadvertently, high, really high!"
A smile appeared on Shangguan Lie's face, he stood up and said, "Yes, children can be taught. Xiaoyu, you eat first, I am going to rest."
For a moment, everyone stood up, and the three-year-old baby quickly swallowed the balls in his mouth and stood on the ground. Everyone respectfully escorted the old man out of the restaurant.
It wasn't until Shangguan Lie's figure disappeared that everyone sat down, and the restaurant became noisy.
