The last time I had a meal at the Elephant Manor, it was a meal to express condolences to the owner of the manor. It had no taste and was only filled with sadness.
Now that he was having dinner with two people he had just met and were still strangers to, Liu Bancheng felt a little rushed.
He glanced at the two men on the left and right, pretending to be calm.
Unexpectedly, Mei Hua was looking at her with a smile.
He quickly stood up and came over to pour warm tea for Liu Bancheng.
When the woman on Liu Bancheng's left saw this, she hurriedly stood up, snatched the teapot from Meihua's hand, and poured a little more into Meihua's already full bowl. The tea had almost reached the mouth of the bowl and was about to overflow.
Then the woman went around and filled Wu Dazhuang's bowl with plum blossoms. Wu Dazhuang turned around and took the woman's pot. He filled it with a little bit of tea and was very polite to the woman.
Liu Bancheng quietly observed these two people, thinking they were a couple.
He felt that the difference in appearance between this woman and Wu Dazhuang was too big, and it was so big that it made people curious.
Wu Dazhuang has a square face, big eyes, a big mouth, a high nose bridge, a wide forehead, and a big head.
But this woman has a small triangular face, small forehead, small eyes, and small stature.
Only then did Liu Bancheng remember that this woman had also participated in the bidding this morning and was sitting on the right side of Wu Dazhuang.
I didn't pay attention to this person at the time, thinking he was an ordinary employee of their company.
Seeing that the process of pouring tea and water supply was over, the plum blossoms finally started.
She paused her voice intentionally,
"That's right, let me explain!"
Liu Bancheng leaned back on the chair and nodded.
He strongly disapproved of attending such an unannounced banquet, and his anger had not yet calmed down.
Meihua said: "Tonight, it's like this. Today, Manager Da Zhuang and his company's vice president, this one is Ms. Wen Xue!"
Mei Hua stretched out her hand to signal to the woman sitting opposite her, who slowly stood up and saluted.
Meihua continued: "The two of them want to express their willingness to cooperate with our Xiangshan Hall."
"Because it's been a busy day and everyone is hungry, they all need to eat, right, so they prepared a potluck dinner and invited the hall master to attend. When they extended this invitation, I didn't stop their hospitality. There is no report in advance, so you, the host, don’t have any objections, because we both have to work together in the next step, and many matters need to be united and continued to be promoted. Today is just a form of dinner, or eating. In this way, let’s meet, do you think this can be done, Hall Master?”
Liu Bancheng's buttocks rested tightly against the joint between the seat and back of the chair. He felt that it was very comfortable to lean against him. He smiled again and did not answer immediately.
Wu Dazhuang hurriedly bent down and pulled his chair forward.
"I'm really sorry, Hall Master Liu. I invited you here today without asking for permission or formal invitation. It's really presumptuous of me. However, I do mean it out of good intentions. I hope you can understand and forgive me. Well, I can't do it this way." Let me introduce you to the person opposite."
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
"The person opposite is the vice president of my company. Chef Meihua also introduced her. Her name is Ms. Wen Xue, and she is also my wife."
Liu Bancheng's eyes widened again. He first looked at the woman Wen Xue, then at Wu Dazhuang who was expressing his words, and shook his head gently.
Wu Dazhuang continued, "Our company will start serving our Xiangshan Hall from today on. In the future, if there are any shortcomings and problems, please hall master Liu and Chef Mei can give us more valuable opinions and guidance." !”
"We will do everything possible, um, according to the culture and requirements of our Xiangshan Hall, to do a good job in the wedding ceremony of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Daliang Kingdom, improve the quality and standards, and create a wedding sign of Daliang Kingdom. From now on, you two will have a family at home. What's going on? There's no need to be polite to us. We will be good friends and a family from now on. It's fate that we get together. Let's get along well with the relationship and do a good job in the wedding. Then everyone will be fine. Prime Minister He My face is also shining! Isn’t that what it is, Madam Wenxue, why don’t we toast Hall Master Liu and Chef Mei together!”
While Wu Dazhuang was speaking, he had already picked up a large bowl with black rim and yellow bottom and came to Liu Bancheng.
Liu Bancheng, who had remained silent the whole time, turned his head and buried it, then raised his head again, thinking about what he wanted to say.
At this time, he discovered that the woman sitting on the right hand seat did not stand up, and the fragrance from her body was already choking him.
The woman did not stand up, but raised her hand and pressed down, meaning to ask Wu Dazhuang to return to his original position and sit down.
Even though Wu Dazhuang was very obedient, he quietly returned to his seat.
Liu Bancheng was stunned by this little woman's behavior.
Meihua didn't understand what the couple was doing.
Woman Wenxue said: "Although I am a woman, I will also express my gratitude to Hall Master Liu. However, "The dishes are cold now. Please have a meal. Let's talk while we talk, okay?" "
The woman spoke in a loud and high-pitched voice. After speaking, she adjusted the turntable with her little hands and pointed a large fish head at Liu Bancheng. "
Meihua hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Wenxue is right. We have been busy all day. Come on, use your chopsticks, use your chopsticks."
Liu Bancheng couldn't bear it anymore. He said word by word,
"Oh, well, what about you three? You've said everything you need to say, so let me say a few words too!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Wenxue woman was the first to clapped her hands, followed by Wu Dazhuang and Meihua also echoed.
"That's great, that's great!" The three of them said in unison, their dull expressions turned into joyful expressions.
When Liu Bancheng saw this, he raised his hands high and clapped three times hard. The sound was not loud, but it was very heavy.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and the waiter walked in first. He held the door open. After that, the two chefs from Xiangshan Hall came in carrying two large wooden boxes tied with red silk and found an open space. The child was put down, and then the three of them exited.
"This, this, this?" Wu Dazhuang looked at Mei Hua hurriedly.
Mei Hua also looked embarrassed and looked at Liu Bancheng again.
There was no expression on the Wenxue woman's face, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Bancheng said softly: "What is this? Is it 500 taels?"
The two outsiders didn't answer.
"If you have 500 taels, you can pay the down payment when buying a building in a second-tier city in our country!"
The three people didn't understand and looked at each other blankly.
In our country of Liang, we can at least buy hundreds of acres of land, and I can definitely go back to being a landlord. This gift is not light. I really can't afford it, so I sent it back today. Please take it back with you. Otherwise, I won't dare to eat today's meal. If I eat it, there will be problems. "
"Ah, that's what happened! Why do I think it is!"
Mei Hua reacted faster, "Master, you don't know something. These are not given to you. These are the reserve funds for their cooperation with us. During the day, there is no place to put them, so I asked someone to send them to you." You've gone to your place! I thought I'd pick it up from you tomorrow! Don't get me wrong, we can eat normally!"
Wu Dazhuang cooperated nervously from the side.
"Yes, yes, Chef Meihua is right. It's the down payment we paid in advance, and we haven't had time to move out yet!"
The expression of the Wenxue woman remained unchanged, as if nothing happened in front of her!
