Chapter 145 Planning for the New Year's Eve Dinner
They saw Xiao Yan sitting in the main seat, with an indifferent expression on his face that the Zhou family had never seen before.
Feiyu led them to the second empty table on the right and said:
"You guys can sit over here. There are seats in both the front and back rows."
The desk in front of them was unfamiliar to the Zhou family and the Tang and Sun families, who came from farming families.
Even Zhou Chi was trying hard to suppress his trembling palms.
Xiao Yan stood up from the main seat and walked over.
"We are all family today, so there is no need to be too formal."
His courtesy almost made some people drop their jaws.
You should know that on Xiao Yan’s left are the garrisons of the twelve cities and the generals in the army.
There was only one person sitting on the first table on the right, and that person was the military advisor of the Northern Army.
All of these people are Xiao Yan's confidants.
As a result, these people who looked like country bumpkins passed by the famous and wealthy families in Zhong'an North City and sat in the front seats.
The general actually got up to entertain the guests in person.
Weird!
Amazing!
Zhou Lingling took a look and found that eight tables were reserved for them.
In the future, they should be the wealthy families in Anbei City.
They are positioned too far forward.
A group of people on the opposite side were staring at him eagerly, but Zhou Lingling remained calm:
"My brother and I will sit in the front, and you can sit on the side seats."
"Grandma Zhao, you guys should just sit separately."
Being stared at by so many eyes, Widow Zhao was so nervous that she couldn't even speak and could only nod woodenly.
Then he pulled the youngest and sat behind Zhou Lingling and her siblings.
Tang Biao, who also wanted to sit there: ...
Without thinking, he pulled his wife and son to sit behind Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, but he was a step too late.
The old couple of the Sun family, who were old and frail, came over at some point. After Widow Zhao sat down, they sat down directly in the seat that Tang Biao had chosen.
The old couple smiled at him apologetically: "Biao, you are young, it is more convenient for you to sit in the front."
Tang Biao: ...
Woo woo woo, he’s scared too!
Sitting behind Miss Zhou, Widow Zhao regained her strength. When she saw her eldest son's useless appearance, she immediately glared at him.
With just this one glance, Tang Biao quickly took his wife and children to sit at the table next to Zhou Laoer and Chen.
Although his mother didn't say anything, her eyes were saying: You good-for-nothing, if you dare to embarrass yourself here, I'll skin you alive when I get home!
Sun Yan and his wife also sat down behind Tang Biao and smiled embarrassedly at the second son Tang Bin.
"Second brother, we want to be closer to mother and the others."
Tang Bin: “…”
The remaining two brothers sat down, one in front and one behind. They were afraid that if they delayed any longer, their mother would skin them alive.
At the end of Shen Shi.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Xiao Yan finally announced the official start of the General's Mansion's New Year's Eve dinner.
"My fellow soldiers, another year has passed. We have once again secured the gates of the northern border and kept the barbarians at bay..."
"Next year, I hope to work with you all to continue defending the northern border and protecting the people. This general salutes you all!"
As soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, the nearly one hundred people sitting there, including the servants walking around, all fell silent.
As he spoke from the heart, everyone present raised their glasses and cheered loudly.
"Cheers to the Northern Frontier, and to the General!"
Zhou Lingling stood up and could clearly feel the hairs on her arms standing up.
The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively.
"General, I presume these are the saviors you mentioned?"
While the Zhou family couldn't help but look at other people, some people's eyes were always on them.
The young man sitting at the first table on the right, next to Zhou Lingling and her sister, waved a feather fan in his hand and asked with a smile.
Saobao.
This was Zhou Lingling's first impression of this person.
Xiao Yan drank the wine in the glass and nodded.
Then he introduced them to the two with a faint smile: "This is the military advisor, Qizhu."
It turns out that this is the resourceful military strategist that Uncle Tie and the others often talk about.
Putting aside the strange behavior of the man waving a fan in the middle of winter, the brother and sister still nodded slightly to show their respect.
Qizhu had a pair of peach blossom eyes and a charming smile. Zhou Lingling could hear the exclamations of several girls coming from not far away.
"I have long admired the General's lifesavers. General, you braved danger to the Northern Frontier. Thanks to you all for your generosity and assistance. On behalf of the Northern Army, I would like to thank you all."
"Do it first as a courtesy!"
Although he was a bit of a show-off, Qizhu was very sensible and did not point out who his savior was.
Zhou Lingling glanced at her parents and saw that they had already raised their glasses with a stiff smile on their faces.
If you look closely, you can see that their arms are trembling slightly.
Zhou Lingling proudly picked up her cup and drank the milk in it in one gulp. Milk tea?
There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she still felt a little unsatisfied after putting down the cup.
Xiao Yan silently took in her reaction, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Everyone had an idea of who these people were who had suddenly sat in the front row.
It turned out to be the general's savior.
Smart people knew that the general had not been in Northern Frontier for the past few months. As cartloads of food were transported back to Northern Frontier, they all knew what Xiao Yan had been doing.
But they didn't know that he went to the distant southern region and was injured there.
Immediately afterwards, the defenders of the twelve cities opposite also stood up together.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
These people started from zero frame and drank the liquor in the glass as soon as they finished speaking.
Yes, the Northern Army had already brewed a large amount of liquor using Zhou Lingling's recipe last month.
The first bite brought a pungent spiciness to the throat, followed by a warm feeling in the heart.
Just like Feiyu and the others, everyone felt that what they drank before was water, not wine.
From then on, the soldiers refused to compromise.
But the brewing of Shaojiu is slightly more complicated than that of Huangjiu. In addition, the Northern Army was already short of food and had a large number of people, so how could they drink to their heart's content?
But tonight, there was a jar of wine on every table.
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of wine that hit their noses made the men in northern Xinjiang who loved drinking stare at it.
Before the Zhou family could react, the group of soldiers behind them also stood up and said thank you just as quickly.
At this time, Zhou Lingling had just picked up her cup.
The military advisor smiled, picked up the wine glass and sniffed it carefully, his eyes full of intoxication.
He knew that this family did more than just save the general.
Including the liquor in front of us, it also comes from this family...
And the batch of food that was secretly delivered to Anbei City a few days ago.
Thinking of this, the military advisor raised his glass again towards the Zhou family, especially Zhou Lingling and her siblings^_^.
Zhou Lingling's expression began to become numb.
These people actually want to start drinking with a legitimate reason, right?
It's not about thanking them at all, right?
The answer is of course——
correct.
As soon as the wine jar on the table was opened, not only the Northern Army men, but even those who had originally wanted to use this banquet to find out some new information forgot their purpose.
"This wine?"
"Good wine! Good wine!"
"Spicy on the palate, with a long aftertaste, this is the kind of wine a man from the Northern Frontier should drink!"
Good wine must be paired with good food.
The jars of fine wine intoxicated the men, but the dishes that came later made the women's eyes shine.
Zhou Lingling knew that her chance had come.
