Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure
Chapter 41 Family Dinner Chat
In the spacious and bright restaurant, a huge crystal chandelier hangs above the round table.
After Bai Xi and others took their seats, the housekeeping team, under the command of Lin Ying and Ma Jieke, began to work in an orderly manner.
Someone is responsible for serving mouthwash, someone is responsible for providing hot towels, someone is responsible for serving delicious food, someone is responsible for adding tea...
Sitting at home, they can enjoy the service level comparable to that of a Michelin restaurant. Lu An is fine because he is a child of a wealthy family and is used to it. However, Lu Youqing and Xu Zhiwen feel that their eyes have been opened and they once again feel the charm of rich people.
Today's family dinner is mainly composed of seafood and beef.
Spicy and sour crab meat and shark's fin soup, Huadiao drunken crab, braised pork with abalone and black truffle, pine mushroom, bamboo fungus and fish maw stew, three ways to prepare king crab, garlic-marinated Australian blue lobster, traditional steamed Yangtze River shad, grilled Kobe Wagyu beef...
The huge dining table was quickly filled with dishes one after another. You should know that this dining table can accommodate up to 20 people sitting together, which shows how sumptuous the family dinner tonight is.
Every dish is delicious and beautifully presented. Each dish is cooked at the perfect temperature and at the perfect height.
"Boom~"
Lin Ying asked Bai Xi for his opinion and opened two bottles of red wine from the wine cellar that had just been filled two days ago.
"A Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru red wine, about twenty years old. Miss Bai is an expert."
Lu An glanced at the red wine bottle and said to Bai Xi with a smile.
"I don't have that ability. It was Xiao Rui and Sister Ying who chose it."
Bai Xi waved her hand. She didn't worry about these things. If she didn't think such a big wine cellar was a waste, she wouldn't have asked Xiao Rui to buy some wine to fill the cabinet.
While chatting and laughing, Lin Ying used a decanter to decant the red wine for a while, then walked forward to fill the glasses of Bai Xi and the guests one by one.
With fine wine and delicious food in front of them, Bai Xi, as the host, said a few simple words and then asked everyone to start eating. Xiao Rui, who was standing behind her, was also pulled down to the table to eat.
"Xixi..."
"Did you hire these chefs on short notice? The dishes are delicious~"
Lu Youqing took two bites of the dish. The delicious food in her mouth greatly satisfied her taste buds. She asked Bai Xi with a little curiosity.
"No." Bai Xi smiled and shook his head: "They are all private chefs I hired.
It's normal that the taste is good. These chefs are all former head chefs of five-star restaurants in Shanghai and the southwest. "
"Huh? Then how did you hire them as your personal chefs?"
"because......"
Bai Xi wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel and responded with a smile:
“I added money~”
A five-star chef may sound a little impressive, but looking at the entire Xia country, there are people with such skills. It cannot be said that they are as numerous as the fish in the sea, but there are still quite a few. So as long as the money is in place, there are still people who are willing to come to the hospital and become the private chef of a noble.
After all, the work intensity here in Baixi is definitely much lower than the salary intensity of a five-star restaurant, but the salary is high. Many people are willing to come for such a job that pays well and provides leisure time.
Money can make all the difference!
The ancients never deceived me!
Lu Youqing suddenly realized and continued to eat.
......
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After finishing most of their dishes, everyone began to move on and walked into the courtyard to chat.
At first, everyone was quite reserved at the dinner table, but after drinking some alcohol, they all started to open up.
Bai Xi is a contestant whose face turns red when she drinks. After a few glasses of red wine, although she is still sober, her cheeks are already flushed, and her face is as red as peach blossoms. Coupled with her stunning beauty after drinking some wine, the boys present couldn't help but be stunned.
A strange light flashed in Lu An's eyes, and he asked casually:
"Miss Bai, do you have someone you like?"
"I know this question!"
Before Bai Xi could answer, Lu Youqing, who was drunk next to him, suddenly jumped up and raised his hand as if answering a question in class.
"Xixi liked Chen Luoyi before! She even pursued him! But that scumbag didn't care! Now Xixi has become such a good person! He will regret it!"
Lu Youqing spoke in a rapid succession of words, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, and then fell headfirst onto the table.
"Sister Ying, please take Youqing to the guest room to rest."
Bai Xi looked at Lu Youqing, who had fallen asleep after drinking a cup, with amusement, patted her on the back, and waved to call the housekeeper Lin Ying over, asking her to arrange a room for Lu Youqing to rest.
"Miss Bai, what did Miss Lu just say about Chen Luoyi?"
Lu An waited for Bai Xi to arrange everything before continuing to ask. Xu Zhiwen and Xiao Rui beside him also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears.
"That's just youthful arrogance and ignorance." Bai Xi shook his head helplessly: "This is what happened..."
Bai Xi recounted his experience half-truthfully, and Lu An and the others' eyes turned cold.
"That's about it. The day we first met was the day I recognized his face.
By the way, how are things going at home?"
Lu An was still thinking about whether to steam or fry this Chen Luoyi when Bai Xi asked him this out of the blue. He looked up and saw Bai Xi's sly smile, as if to say, "I've finished eating my melon, it's your turn."
"It's really like this, a big cleanup." Lu An smiled bitterly and shrugged. "Lu Shiyao was kicked out by grandpa, and my father was about to become the head of the family, but he was directly sent to the Qingshui Yamen of a subordinate company. If my mother hadn't still had some feelings for him and hadn't asked grandpa for him, my father would probably have been kicked out of the house.
By some strange coincidence, I ended up getting the power to make decisions in the Lu family and started taking over other matters at home."
"Hiss~ Then should we call you Master Lu next? But, is it okay for you to tell us this?"
Bai Xi smiled like a badger in a melon field, and then asked seriously, after all, this was also a secret of the rich family.
“I don’t deserve it, if possible, I still hope to ignore these things.
As for this information, it's not a problem. Such a big thing can't be concealed, but please don't publicize it."
Lu An bowed, and Bai Xi, Xu Zhiwen and others also responded. Then Bai Xi shifted his target to Xiao Rui.
"Xiao Rui, Xu Zhiwen, it's your turn now. Come on, tell us what embarrassing things have happened to you?!"
As friends, how can you not have some evidence that can make the other person socially ruined? In other words, if you don’t have some little secrets that can be used to get hold of each other, how can you be considered true friends?
Assistant Xiao and Xu Zhiwen looked at their boss's sharp eyes, glanced at each other, and knew that they could not escape tonight. They smiled bitterly and began to talk about the embarrassing things they had experienced.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was almost late at night.
After two bottles of red wine, even Xiao Rui, who had the best alcohol tolerance, looked a little drunk, and Bai Xi also felt a little dizzy.
In response to this situation, Xiao Rui called Lin Ying and asked her to make some sobering tea and serve it to everyone to sober them up.
While still drunk, Lu An couldn't help but ask another question:
"Miss Bai, what kind of person do you like?"
This question stumped Bai Xi. It seemed like she had never thought about this problem since she was reborn.
"Hmm... I don't know now." Bai Xi thought for a moment and replied naively, "I used to like tall, rich and handsome guys, and eight-pack abs were even better, but now I don't seem to have any idea.
I now have my own career, clear life goals, and many things I haven't tried waiting for me to try.
If I really fall in love with someone in the future, it will probably be a lot of heart-pounding moments, but I don’t have anyone I like right now.”
After hearing Bai Xi's answer, Lu An's eyes dimmed a little. He forced a smile and nodded, then stopped talking. Xiao Rui looked at Lu An thoughtfully, while Xu Zhiwen lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, everyone felt better after drinking the sobering tea.
After a brief farewell, Lu An and Xu Zhiwen said goodbye and left Tan Gong No. 1.
Xiao Rui also called Lin Ying and asked her to help his boss go upstairs, while arranging for others to start cleaning. At the same time, he reminded Bai Xi that they had to fly to Gangcheng tomorrow.
Because the time for the bronze auction has arrived!
