130. Birthday feast
"You girl......" Tang Cuibai laughed, didn't care about Tang Meng or unintentionally ridiculed, and sat in the position waiting for Sister Li to help set up the tableware.
"Now that everyone is here, let's serve the food. Tang Xuening waved her hand, and five servants pushed the dining cart out of the kitchen, and put the dishes on the table under Sister Li's instructions.
There are a lot of dishes, and in an instant, a huge table will be full of dishes. The dishes are good, the image is exquisite, the shape is elegant, and the meaning is far-reaching, but in the eyes of Ye Shu, a rough man, these dishes are more like handicrafts for ornamentation, rather than dishes for filling the stomach. Because as long as a chopstick goes down, it will destroy this beautiful artistic conception, but if you only look at it and don't eat it, this table dish loses its original meaning.
"What kind of alcohol do you drink?"
Just when Ye Shu's heart was still entangled, there was already a servant standing beside him, pushing a cart full of beer, yellow, red and white Chinese and foreign wines.
"He doesn't drink. Before Ye Shu could see the brands of these wines, Tan Xiao had already replied for him.
"And what do you drink?" asked the maid politely again.
The other party is respectful, and of course Ye Shu has to be polite and polite, "Give me a glass of Coke, with ice, thank you." He looked at Tan Xiao. It didn't seem to have anything to drink, and Ye Shu also asked her for a cup of milk tea.
Although Ye Shu was very polite, the servants were in trouble, and they carefully prepared a lot of tea and wine drinks, covering ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Although I don't have milk tea in my hand, I can still get it. But you can't get a drink like Coke. Because in Tang Xuening's understanding, drinking Coke is equivalent to chronic suicide, so the Tang family boycotted Coke from top to bottom, and did not allow the existence of Coke at all, let alone any cold ice.
"Sorry, there's no Coke here. ”
"No, forget it. Ye Shu stopped talking, since there was no more. You can't make it difficult for others.
Hearing that Ye Shu didn't drink, Tang Meng on the side finally found an opportunity to retaliate, and deliberately said, "Is it still a wine banquet if you don't drink at the banquet?"
Ye Shu glanced at Tang Meng and asked, "Don't you eat vegetables when you eat?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Meng didn't understand what Ye Shu meant.
Ye Shu snorted, "Eat vegetables when you eat, but it's still called eating, isn't it time to eat, it's time to eat noodles, dumplings or other things, it's still called eating." ”
"Strong words. Tang Meng knew that he didn't have much of Ye Shu's crooked reasoning, and now he didn't take advantage of it, once he got rid of the topic, he couldn't resist it, so he turned his head and didn't look at Ye Shu anymore.
"Mr. Ye, what do you drink?" the maid asked again, and Miss Biao had already said that he didn't drink anymore, so he only asked what he drank, not what he drank.
"There's no Coke, and there's no Sprite?"
"Yes. The maid nodded, "All carbonated drinks, not here." ”
"Bring me a glass of water, just at room temperature. ”
"Okay. The maid went out for a while, and then came back with a cup of milk tea and a glass of water.
Seeing that there was water in front of Ye Shu, Old Man Tang spoke, "Xiao Ye, why don't you drink." ”
Ye Shu looked around, except for Tan Xiao and himself, there was more than one wine glass in front of the juice that the kid drank. Ye Shu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't drink." Tan Xiao said that he didn't drink anymore, so of course he couldn't say anything else.
"Do you smoke?"
"Smoke a little once in a while. Ye Shu replied truthfully, I don't know why the old man asked this.
"Hmm. Old Man Tang nodded, as if he was quite pleased, "Man, it's better to have a hobby." ”
"Heh......" Ye Shu laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, because he guessed that Old Man Tang still had half a sentence behind him, "If you don't love this, you have to love something else after all." ”
"It's not an outsider, this is Xiao Nier's boyfriend, don't be restrained, come, let's raise a glass......"
Old Man Tang should have been a bold person when he was young, and even when he was old, he still had a sense of pride, and he took the lead in lifting the wine glass to give an example to the younger generations.
"Happy birthday to Dad!"
"Happy birthday to my grandfather!"
"Happy birthday to Grandpa!"
......
Everyone got up one after another to send their blessings, and then sat down after taking a deep or shallow sip of wine, only Ye Shu was embarrassed, because he didn't know what to call it, after all, Tan Xiao had been shut up just now, and he couldn't make up for it if he wanted to.
Old Man Tang took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and everyone came in turn, there was talking and laughing on the table, a happy and harmonious scene, but if you look closely, it is only Tang Xuening and Old Man Tang and their father and daughter who are laughing, and most of the others are sitting in a precarious position, looking like they are listening attentively, and occasionally laughing twice.
The dishes are very good, the appearance is exquisite, and the taste is also good, but Ye Shu is not used to eating, he usually eats vegetables in large gulps, but now he is afraid that he will eat a dish clean if his mouth is a little bigger. And I don't know if the Tang family pays attention to health, the dishes are all light, nothing is too greasy, not the type that Ye Shu likes. The same is true for Tan Xiao next to Ye Shu, who didn't eat a few bites of food, and the milk tea had already gone down to two large cups. But even if the two of them were elegant, the two of them were the happiest people here, because they really came to eat, and they didn't do anything else at all.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes on the table were gradually replaced, and finally, the finale of the birthday banquet was served - longevity noodles.
The servant served a bowl of white noodles to each person, no marinade, no toppings, and no vegetable code, just a glance of noodles that had just been fished out of the pot, and everyone else had it, as long as Old Man Tang didn't have it, there was only an empty bowl in front of him.
After the noodles were placed, Sister Li held the empty bowl of Old Man Tang, put the chopsticks used by Old Man Tang on the bowl, and walked to Tang Xuening's side first, Tang Xuening picked out a long one from her noodle bowl and put it on the chopsticks of the empty bowl, and then Sister Li walked to the next one, and also picked a noodle and put it on, until she turned around, except for the old man Cheng who was in a wheelchair, everyone else picked out a noodle, even Ye Shu and Tan Xiao learned well, stacking the empty bowl like a mountain of noodles.
The noodle bowl was put back in front of Old Man Tang, and then the dish yards and toppings were served, there were many dishes and toppings, which made Ye Shu, who saw this way of eating for the first time, very speechless, a bowl of noodles with ten kinds of marinade, what kind of way to eat this? It's just that when he saw one of the toppings, his stomach was a little uncomfortable.
"Vomit ......" Before Ye Shu reacted violently, Tan Xiao on the side had already vomited before him.
"Damn, you're too careless, you won't get pregnant, right?" Tang Meng pushed Ye Shu the side, and his face became very ugly.
"What are you talking about, what are you having?" Ye Shu glared at Tang Meng, what kind of thing is this, how can he speak without thinking about it, and at the same time suppressing the churning momentum of his stomach.
"Vomit ......" Tan Xiao retched again, and now not only Tang Meng, but everyone else also looked over.
"What's the matter, Little Nier?" Old Man Tang asked as he looked at Tan Xiao, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"It's fine. Tan Xiao turned her head to Ye Shu and didn't look at her grandfather.
Tang Meng left her seat, stood between Tan Xiao and Ye Shu, and reached out to pat Tan Xiao's back, "Is it okay? It's been a few months, why are you so careless?"
"What!" Tan Xiao looked at Tang Meng with a confused expression, she didn't expect her to think of going there, and then looked at the others, her eyes were very abnormal, looking at herself with a lot of reproach, as if she was disgusted with her lack of self-love.
"Where do you want to go? I'm sick because I'm disgusting......"
"Doesn't that mean anything, drink some water first, Sister Li, go get a cup ......of warm water" Tang Meng patted Tan Xiao's back lightly again, you can't use force at this time, if you use force, you won't hurt a person.
"I'm not ......" Tan Xiao found that she couldn't explain clearly, and she was short-breathed, and her nausea was even worse.
"Vomit ......"
This time, it was not Tan Xiao who spoke out, but Ye Shu. Ye Shu's sudden sound frightened Tang Meng, turned around and glared at Ye Shu, and reprimanded: "What are you coaxing again, you are also pregnant?"
"You're pregnant. Ye Shu stroked his chest to relieve the pressure in his stomach, fortunately, he didn't eat much just now, so he didn't let him vomit just now.
"What are you talking about?" Tang Meng was a little excited, and was about to reprimand Ye Shu, but was stopped by Tan Xiao.
Tan Xiao pulled Tang Meng, took a sip of warm water and let out a sigh, then turned to Old Man Tang and said, "Grandpa, I'm not what you think, Ye Shu and I are disgusting, thinking that we saw the toppings in your bowl." ”
"What's wrong with this topping?" asked Old Man Tang puzzled, and at the same time handed the bowl forward, intending to let Tan Xiao and them see it clearly. “”
"This is the eel topping that your mother and Xiaoqin specially made for me, is there any problem?"
"Is this an eel?" Tan Xiao suddenly became energetic, and Ye Shu Ye Shu's eyes lit up.
"Of course, what do you think?" asked Old Man Tang.
"I thought it was snake meat...... Tan Xiao didn't say any more, because it was disgusting to think about it.
"What's going on?" asked Old Man Tang, and everyone was puzzled.
Tan Xiao couldn't continue, so he could only explain to Ye Shu, "Xiaoxiao and I were chased and killed at the beginning, and we fell off the cliff, in order to survive, we once ate snake meat for half a month, and it was simply our nightmare...... So when you were scooping it up just now, we thought it was snake meat, so we ......."
"Is this so?" haha......" After figuring out the reason, Old Man Tang laughed, and his face immediately turned cloudy and clear. They all knew that Ye Shu and Tan Xiao were chased and killed by Qin Shouzheng, and at the same time, they patted Tan Xiao even more distressed, "Pity my little Nier, how much suffering have you suffered, alas...... Xiaoqin, take this eel down, my granddaughter doesn't like it, so don't do it in the future. ”
"But this is my aunt and grandmother deliberately ......"
Old Man Tang's face sank, "It's nothing, so many toppings are missing this one? Today is a happy day, shouldn't let my granddaughter think of those unpleasant ones, take them down." ”
"Come, let's eat noodles. Old Man Tang scooped some meat and poured it on the noodles by himself, and at the same time scooped a lot for Tan Xiao.
"Grandpa, I'll do it myself. Grandpa's sudden concern made Tan Xiao a little overwhelmed.
After eating longevity noodles, the birthday banquet is not over yet, because the maid pushes up a big cake, which is the last procedure of the day.
"Grandpa Tang, happy birthday, I wish you a long and healthy life, and a smile will always be there......" Just as Tang Xuening was about to help Old Man Tang to cut the cake, there was a congratulatory sound at the door, and then, two people walked in from outside the door.
