When they arrived at Chao's house, they not only had food but also medicinal tea to drink. Ji Lao and others were in a happy mood. They knew that the little girl was preparing delicious food for the main banquet on the 9th. They were so cute that they rushed the little girl to the kitchen and asked Butler Hu to do the work.
They had biscuits to eat and tea to drink without anyone accompanying them.
There were guests, and Butler Hu wanted to prepare lunch. The host followed the guests and went upstairs to do his own work.
The little Loli drank two cups of tea with her, then made another pot of tea, brought out a plate of homemade biscuits, asked Uncle Hu to accompany the guests, and then went into the kitchen to do her own business.
Yan Xing was kneading bread in the kitchen, guarding the oven, waiting for the bread to be cooked, and then changing the oven. When he finally saw little Loli coming back, he gave him what he thought was the most handsome smile: "Little Loli, my great-grandma also has a birthday present at her house.
Here you go, it’s still on the way, and it may not arrive in the capital until the 8th at the latest.”
The He family gave her a birthday gift?
With a roll of her eyes, Le Yun had a flash of inspiration and blessed her heart: "Xiao Long Bao, is the gift from your great-grandmother's family Cordyceps?"
"Ah, you guessed it again, there is no sense of mystery anymore." Yan Xing was particularly regretful. The He family wanted to give the little Loli a surprise, but she guessed right. Now she can't pretend to be mysterious to keep people appetizing.
At the beginning of May, the He family sent the He family's waiter and his people to camp in Province Z. When the He family's Xiaoba and He Xiaoshi went to the mountains to dig Cordyceps, they also went to Z Province. He Xiaoer and He Xiaoshi dug the Cordyceps themselves.
He Xiaoba led his people to buy fresh Cordyceps sinensis.
The little doctor's sixteenth birthday is a very important day. How could the He family miss it by mistake and plan to buy a batch of cordyceps as a birthday gift for the little doctor.
Yan Xing originally wanted to keep the gift-giving from his great-grandma's family a secret, because someone else gave a gift to the little Lolita. The little Lolita was as happy as if she had found money after receiving the gift, which made him so jealous that he couldn't help but reveal it.
"It's such an obvious thing, you don't need to waste brain cells at all." The He family's grandmother, He Xiaoshiwu, is an aboriginal from the Cordyceps area of Z province. If the He family wants to dig up Cordyceps, it's first-come-first-served basis. If the He family wants to give her a gift, it must be Cordyceps.
, who knows, that stuff is a regional and seasonal medicinal material. It is only produced in Z province and some parts of the province in China. It is rare and expensive.
"Who is coming to your great-grandma's house? Give me some tips and I'll prepare them in advance, otherwise I won't prepare enough food and it will be embarrassing."
"My elders want to come but are too embarrassed to come, so let my eighth brother, Xiao Shiwu, and I be the representatives." The tips of Yan Xing's ears felt slightly hot again. In fact, my great-grandmother and third uncle both wanted to come to Chao's house, for fear of causing trouble to little Lolita.
, so only the children of the great-grandchildren are allowed to serve as representatives.
"Oh, there are three people in the He family. It seems that there may be five tables of guests." There are about two tables of the Guxiu family, and Brother Chao's friends. There are six big guys outside, so there must be at least three tables of pure guests.
Only prepare five tables?
Yan Xing almost jumped up. Little Loli only prepared five tables, what if a lot of people came? He wanted to remind him to be more prepared, but he didn't know what to say, so he kept silent for now.
Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhou and others were drinking and enjoying themselves. About an hour later, Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao came back. They went to two cars and pulled back some boxes and cages.
The old couple from the Chao family returned to Chao Er's house and went to the first floor to greet the guests. Fang's mother, Aunt Li, and others moved boxes and baskets, and sent most of them to the small hall on the first floor for the little girl to deal with. Shao Li took them back to the kitchen on the second floor and started lunch immediately.
.
The little righteous grandson of the Chao family didn't have any special medicated food at noon. He ate home-cooked food, but there was medicated bread. Mr. Ji Laoqian and the others ate happily. When they were about to eat, Ji Laozhou and others discovered that Young Master Yan was also with Mr. Chao.
I'm a little confused. Isn't that Young Master Yan an officer? Why did he come to Chao's house to do some odd jobs?
The six bosses also knew that the little girl was making medicine. In order not to affect her work, they left after lunch and quickly.
Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao saw off six giants in the jade industry, thinking they could take a nap. Unexpectedly, as soon as the six guests left, another rare guest arrived - a staff member of the Embassy of the United States in the capital of China.
Come to the door.
When they received a call from the guard at the villa area, the old couple were dumbfounded. They hurried downstairs to find Xiaofenduanzi and told her that a rare visitor was coming.
Hearing what the old man of the Chao family said about the arrival of a guest, Yan Xing suddenly realized that he was the one the little Loli was waiting for! He looked at the little Loli, and as expected, the little Loli's eyes were as bright as stars, and she was so happy.
Fly.
"Grandpa and grandma, I know. That's the person who gave me the gift. Don't be nervous. Handsome Yan, please go to the door and wait for the reception. I'll prepare." Le Yun felt a thousand flowers in her heart when she heard that foreign guests were visiting.
Thousands of flowers bloom together, it’s so beautiful.
"Oh." Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao's heart suddenly felt at ease.
"Okay." Being assigned as a receptionist, Yan Xing felt bright for a second. He washed his hands, tidied up his appearance and went to the villa gate to wait for guests.
Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao also went to wait under the eaves of the villa building to welcome the guests.
Le Yun ran quickly to the small hall where things were stored, took out a prepared tea set, poured hot water into the kettle to make tea, then took a plate to put the fruits on, put the things first, and took the kettle to the coffee shop.
The coffee shop in Mr. Chao's house is actually a reception room for literati and elegant guests. It is only about twenty square meters and is decorated in a simple and artistic way. Facing the window, you can see the grass on one side. In one corner, there is a lyre.
There is a set of wooden tables and chairs made of whole wood, as well as several potted plants, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are mainly elegant.
Putting the kettle of hot water next to the counter with the tea set, Le Yun went into the kitchen again and prepared the ingredients so that she could make food at any time. At the same time, she also guarded the oven. The bread inside was about to be baked and the power could not be cut off.
While little Loli was doing reception work, a dark blue Fiat car drove into the villa area. Under the guidance of a doorman, it drove through several turns and arrived at the road in front of Chao Erye's house.
The road guard returned to duty and the car moved forward slowly.
Yan Xing walked out of the courtyard of Chao Erye's villa and stood at the entrance of the courtyard to observe when he saw the car leading the way. When he saw the car approaching, he raised his hand to signal.
The driver of a Fiat sedan saw someone raising his hand outside the villa in front of him, so he returned the gesture, slowed down, and parked outside the villa's courtyard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yan Xing acted as a car boy for once, stepping forward to help open the back seat door to greet the guests.
When the guest got off the car, he was a somewhat fat elderly gentleman with typical Mediterranean facial features. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and tie, very formal attire, with a friendly face and sharp eyes.
The door on the other side was pushed open, and a young man about thirty years old got out of the car, holding a briefcase, and quickly ran around the front of the car towards the door of the villa.
Yan Xing, who was working as a carriage boy, picked up the passengers and delivered a welcome speech in fluent English: "Welcome, sir. Mr. and Mrs. Chao are looking forward to your visit. Miss Leyun is making toast in the kitchen. I heard that there are
A visitor has arrived and tea is being prepared for the gentlemen, who need a few minutes to leave the kitchen."
Francisco got out of the car and was shocked when he saw the handsome Chinese young man. When he heard what he said about the lovely lady making toast in the kitchen, a warm smile appeared on his face and he shook hands with the young man enthusiastically: "Thank you, young man.
Handsome sir, have the lovely lady returned to China?"
"Yes, I just came back from my gentlemen's homeland two days ago." Yan Xing politely shook hands with the guests, then shook hands with the foreign youth who ran over, then shook hands with the driver who got off the car, and invited the three guests into the host's house.
Francisco strode happily towards the villa, and his entourage quickly followed. Accompanied by handsome Chinese young men, Francisco entered the courtyard of the owner's house and saw an elderly couple standing in front of the building.
Mr. Chao and his wife stood under the eaves of the building. When they saw foreign guests approaching, they went up to greet them. Mr. Chao was the host. He first welcomed the guests, shook hands with them, and spoke fluent English.
Yan Xing acted as an interpreter and told the guests that the old gentleman and the old lady were the father and mother of the owner of the house. The young man who followed Mr. Ambassador was busy translating and introduced Mr. Ambassador to the owner.
Francisco is the second ambassador to China, that is, the deputy ambassador who assists the diplomatic ambassador in his work. His name is too long, Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao can’t remember it, so they can only call him "Mr. Ambassador".
Both of them are accompanied by the prefix "handsome".
After meeting each other, Mr. Chao and his wife led the guests to the elegant hall.
Le Yun heard voices and footsteps in the kitchen, and it was almost time to bake the bread in the box. She turned off the power of the oven, turned off the fire for boiling medicine, took off her apron, washed her hands, and walked quickly to the elegant hall to meet the guests.
Before she reached the elegant hall, she met the guests coming along the corridor and welcomed them with a bright sunny smile: "Welcome handsome gentlemen, Mr. Lombard, it is a pleasure to see you again."
As soon as he walked out of the corridor, Francisco saw the cute and beautiful Chinese girl, and a smile appeared on his face. When he heard her call out his full name accurately in Italian, his whole person was like a peony blossom, and the smile on his face
There are layers of smiles that can no longer be piled up.
His slightly fat body moved, almost running forward, hugging the beautiful and lovely girl passionately, and said happily: "Ah, lovely lady, I am so happy to see you!"
After three kisses, he took the girl's hand and kissed the back of it. His sharp eyes turned into a pool of tenderness, as well as uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
The Chinese girl can speak fluent Italian, and her pronunciation and final consonants are the same as those of native Yi people. Her tone even has a hint of the local characteristics of the Lombardy region. The two young men accompanying the ambassador were also shocked and their eyes widened.
I finally understood why Mr. Ambassador always said that a certain lovely lady was a little angel. Listening to her talk made me feel like I was in my hometown.
Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao: "..." Who can tell them why that foreign friend was suddenly so excited?
The melancholy in Yan Xing's heart has accumulated like a river. The little loli can speak the bird language of several countries, is familiar with everyone, and is popular everywhere. What shame does it have for guys like them who were once called geniuses?
Feeling that he couldn't survive, he quietly retreated and walked around the kitchen to see if there was anywhere he could use his strength.
The gentleman was too enthusiastic, so Le Yun silently respected his etiquette and customs. After meeting the old gentleman, she extended her hand to shake hands with the two young gentlemen to express her welcome.
The two young men kissed each other's hands. They held the girl's delicate little hand and kissed the back of her hand tenderly. They did not hug or touch her face. Because the girl was a girl, they tried their best to respect the customs of the Chinese nation.
Expressing welcome, Le Yun invited the foreign friends to sit in the elegant hall, then turned to the side hall to bring the fruit plate and tea set, then brought a plate of biscuits and made tea to entertain the guests.
The lovely lady understands Italian, but the old man and the old lady only know English. Francisco communicates with the owner in English. His English is not as fluent as Italian, so communication is no problem. Moreover, he can also speak some Chinese, mixed in.
Le Yun asked the guests and found out that they had not had afternoon tea yet, so she quickly went into the kitchen to start cooking for the guests.
Yan Xing went back to the kitchen, took out the bread from the oven to cool down, and put a new batch in to bake. When he saw the little Loli coming back, he walked over and took the initiative to find something to do: "Little Loli, is there any work that needs to be done?"
"Help me get the dumplings and heat them up." Le Yun was busy cooking the soup to go with the noodles. She couldn't help but she had someone to help her, so she was welcome.
Yan Xing happily agreed, put a steamer on the stove, boiled water over high heat, then rushed to the small hall to take out a few plates of dumplings from the refrigerator and put them in the steamer to heat, and then went to get a plate to put the bread.
Le Yun first made the vegetable salad, prepared the soup to go with the noodles, then scalded the homemade hand-made dry noodles in boiling water, arranged them one by one, and then poured the ingredients on them.
After preparing the food, put it on a tray and take it to the elegant hall. Each person has one noodle, one plate of vegetable salad, one plate of dumplings, four breads per person, and red wine.
Francisco smelled the fragrance and his eyes were clear. When the master said it was time to start, he and his two attendants began to eat elegantly, tasting the delicious meal prepared by the girl.
Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao could not resist the temptation of delicious food, and happily accompanied their guests to have afternoon tea.
Taking advantage of the foreign guests to eat delicious medicinal food, Yan Xing started working happily. He found that the noodles were more fragrant than when he tasted them in the morning, and he couldn't help but get sour water. The little loli made exquisite delicacies to entertain the foreigners, without letting him taste them first.
What a bias!
Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao only ate noodles and had no stomach for dumplings and bread.
The three foreign gentlemen did not even bother to drink their favorite red wine. They happily ate noodles, dumplings and bread. The Chinese girl did not prepare butter, but had salad dressing. The dumplings and bread were especially delicious with salad dressing. The three gentlemen prepared their meals.
I ate everything I ordered, holding my fork and spoon in a favorable manner, not sparing my saliva, and enthusiastically praising the delicious food made by the lovely lady.
The little girl and the two parents listened politely and said "thank you" with bright smiles from time to time.
The three men praised each other with as much enthusiasm as the sun, and uttered hundreds of good words. Then they happily tasted red wine, ate crispy biscuits, and chatted happily.
After about half an hour, Francisco got back to the topic: "My lovely lady, I was entrusted by a gentleman from our country to give you a gift and ask this lovely and beautiful lady to accept it."
The young man who was the assistant opened his briefcase and took out a stack of documents and gave them to the Chinese girl to look at. One copy was given to the Ambassador. If the Chinese girl had any questions, she could discuss them with the Ambassador.
The document was made in triplicate. The original text was in Italian and had a Chinese translation for comparison. Le Yun looked at the original text and turned to the name of the gift. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, my God!"
