Liang Aiping smiled and said: "Then you don't have to go, I'll help you prepare it. You guys don't know how to buy gifts, so you won't be able to satisfy them. I know better than you what girls like, so I guarantee that your female classmates will be satisfied."
Zhang Yongsheng thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, you can prepare one for me. The price shouldn't be too expensive. I'll give you the money later. That female classmate is an eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age gift. She is very particular about birthdays and needs to be packaged beautifully. A little. When do you think it will be ready?"
Liang Aiping waved her hand and said: "Leave this matter to me. You can come to my store to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I happen to have a few new products, which are more suitable for girls aged seventeen or eighteen. I guarantee she will like it after seeing it. Money Forget it, you helped me so much yesterday, how can I charge you?"
Zhang Yongsheng said a little embarrassedly: "How can this be done? You are in business, and I take your goods without paying you. This is so unreasonable. You have to charge a little bit, or you can charge it at the cost price."
Liang Aiping shook her head and said: "Don't worry, I won't lose anything. You listen to me on this matter. From now on, the Shahe Gang will need your help, so you can't be polite to me. Just sit and watch TV for a while, and I'll be there soon." Let’s start preparing dinner, all the ingredients are ready, it’ll be ready in a moment.”
Zhang Yongsheng couldn't refuse, so he had to listen to Liang Aiping and sit on the sofa to watch TV. Liang Aiping enthusiastically served juice and snacks, while Zhang Yongsheng ate and waited. Liang Aiping cooks Western food. Zhang Yongsheng is not very interested in this, but it is also her heartfelt wish and he cannot refuse.
Liang Aiping quickly prepared dinner. She arranged an exquisite small restaurant. The dining table was covered with high-end tablecloths and exquisite candlesticks were placed on it. It seemed to be in the rhythm of a candlelight dinner. Then one after another Western food was put on the table, including knives, forks and other tableware.
Liang Aiping's life is relatively refined, and she pays great attention to the quality of life. She takes this dinner very seriously and has been preparing it all day. Not only did she prepare a variety of Western dishes, but she also got a bottle of red wine, which seemed to be a relatively high-end one.
Zhang Yongsheng doesn't know much about Western food routines, but seeing Liang Aiping's serious and careful look, he was very touched. He just happened to be there last night and was just helping out as a neighbor. It was obvious that Liang Aiping valued this life-saving favor, which made this meal extra grand.
It is not easy to prepare such a complete set of Western food in Yunshan, as many tools and raw materials are not available. In the entire county, only the Western restaurant of the Friendship Hotel that accepts foreign guests provides Western food services. Not only is the price ridiculously expensive, but the number of places is limited and reservations must be made in advance.
The Friendship Hotel was originally the guest house of the Yunshan County Government. It was later renovated and upgraded into a foreign-related hotel, where some high-end goods imported from abroad will be sold. These things are relatively expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy them. Those who can spend money here are either rich or noble, and Zhang Yongsheng has never been there.
Zhang Yongsheng couldn't help, so he could only watch from the side, feeling a little embarrassed. He never expected that Liang Aiping, a woman from a small county town, would actually learn such a thing outside. This set-up is no worse than the high-end restaurants on TV. Everything from the tablecloths to the tableware has been replaced.
Looking at Zhang Yongsheng's expression, Liang Aiping said proudly: "How is it? I did a decent job, right? You saved my life and took me in. I don't know how to thank you. After thinking about it, I think it's better. Make a Western meal with your own hands as a token of appreciation, how about you try my craftsmanship?"
Zhang Yongsheng was a little embarrassed and said politely: "Aunt Liang, you are exaggerating. How much does it cost? Especially this candlestick, which cannot be bought in Yunshan. Where did you get it?"
Zhang Aiping explained with a smile: "I brought this back from Jiangyuan. It's made of silver. It's very beautiful when you light a candle. You can see the effect later. This bottle of red wine is good. Please try it." , I specially asked my friends from Friendship Hotel to get it."
Zhang Yongsheng picked up the red wine and saw that it was all written in foreign languages, and he was slightly surprised. The standard of this red wine is not low, a bottle costs several hundred foreign currencies. This kind of wine is usually served at high-end government banquets or banquets of large companies. Even if local residents drink red wine at home, it is only a bargain for tens of yuan a bottle.
After setting the table, Liang Aiping went back to her room to change her clothes. After a while, she returned to the living room wearing a dress. She was carefully dressed up from top to bottom. The dress was sleeveless, low-cut and slim-fitting, revealing her sexy and elegant body curves, which made Zhang Yongsheng quite stunning.
Her makeup was beautiful and her hair had been redone, making her look more than ten years younger than her actual age. In fact, she looks very young. Although she is in her thirties, she looks like she is thirty years old. Coupled with the blessing of various high-end cosmetics and skin care products, you look younger than your peers.
After turning off the chandelier in the living room, the silver candlesticks were lit, and the surrounding atmosphere became romantic. Liang Aiping looked extremely charming under the candlelight, exuding a noble and cool temperament. Zhang Yongsheng secretly admired, which man would be willing to let go of such a beautiful woman?
Zhang Yongsheng had to look at Liang Aiping with admiration. This woman had been away for seven or eight years. It seemed that she was not only kept as a mistress, but also learned a lot of skills. At least in terms of quality of life and enjoyment, it is definitely not comparable to women in small counties.
At Liang Aiping's urging, Zhang Yongsheng quickly took his seat. Liang Aiping enthusiastically served him a small bowl of appetizer soup, poured him red wine, and scooped out the dishes. Her movements were elegant and standard, obviously professionally trained. Zhang Yongsheng felt a little confused.
Liang Aiping picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Yong Sheng, this is my formal thank you. Thank you for saving my life last night and taking me in for the night. I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart." After that, she said Zhang Yongsheng touched the wine glass lightly, and then drank half the glass of red wine in one go.
Zhang Yongsheng also picked up a glass of wine to greet him, and drank the red wine in one gulp. He has no research on red wine. He can only appreciate the taste. He has no idea about the various grades. In his opinion, this high-end red wine tastes the same as ordinary red wine, and there is not much difference.
Seeing Zhang Yongsheng finish the wine, Liang Aiping poured it for him again: "Eat more, I've been making these all afternoon, it should be pretty good, you can try it and give me your opinion."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Aunt Liang, you are too flattering to me. In fact, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten Western food. In our county, only the Friendship Hotel has Western food. Not only is it very expensive, but it also requires booking in advance. Our place Ordinary people can’t afford it.”
Liang Aiping smiled and said: "Then you really need to try it. Many of the ingredients here were made by my friends at the Friendship Hotel and are not easily available outside. I can't say that I am better at cooking Western food than the hotel chef, but Many people thought it was quite good after eating it.”
