Chapter 168: Zhao's Family Banquet

Don't look at me like that!" Zhao Jianguo seemed to be able to feel Chen Ming's emotions, "No, I took this name directly!"

People who can dress like this certainly don't like this simple name. But he mentioned the matter of changing his name, and he almost didn't kill Zhao Guodong, so he could only continue to keep this name.

"You are a 'Jian' person, of course your name must have a 'Jian' character. How good it is to build the country and build the motherland!" Zhao Guodong complained directly, and the current younger generation seems to be a little disgusted with seniority.

Maybe it's because I feel that this thing belongs to a kind of family bondage, influenced by the free country on the other side of the ocean, one or two advocates freedom, and even the culture of the ancestors has almost forgotten.

If you don't have a home, you don't have a family, so can he still be arrogant? Look at Chen Ming, what kind of life did he live when he was a child, why do young people nowadays, on the one hand, enjoy the convenience of family members, but forget the identity and obligations of family members?

But at this moment, Chen Ming was thinking: If I change my surname to Zhao, will I also become Zhao Jianming? It feels weird...... No, no, maybe the old man will have to change my name by then......

suddenly felt that it seemed good that he didn't agree to Zhao Guodong's proposal.

"Okay, don't be stunned here!" Zhao Guodong obviously didn't bother to continue training, "The family banquet is about to start, just send you two juniors, why don't you come in with me quickly!"

"Oh...... Yes!" The two hurriedly responded, and then followed Zhao Guodong in.

The whole courtyard is not small, and you can even see some servants and the like around, perhaps, this is a symbol of status? Chen Ming has a net worth of tens of millions, and at the same time, relying on the financial management of money and righteousness, his assets are steadily improving.

However, compared with the Zhao family, his net worth is indeed nothing.

The problem is that none of these are earned by himself, and they can't completely belong to him, so Chen Ming has nothing to envy. After entering here, I was more curious, curious about how those upper-class people lived.

Entering the hall here, today may be related to the family banquet, so this place is very grandly arranged. It is said to be grand, but it is not very luxurious, and it is very traditional Chinese culture.

There is one table for adults, and another table for juniors, it seems that there is still a difference here in terms of seniority. However, men and women did not separate the tables, and Chen Ming remembered that according to the previous custom, men and women could not sit at the same table.

"Jianguo, why did you come so late? Who is he?" Seeing Zhao Jianguo, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stood up and came to his side, of course, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ming.

"There was something going on in the band, so I finally got time to come over. Zhao Jianguo said helplessly, "This one around me is amazing, the second aunt's child, our cousin, is called Chen Ming!"

"Is that the legendary second aunt?" Xiao Young was stunned, no, no, it should be said that all the young people around him were stunned.

The voice may be relatively loud, and the adults seem to have heard the conversation here and looked over one after another. When some people saw Chen Ming, they were somewhat emotional, while many people were more confused or even joking.

It seems that my mother is in the family, and she doesn't have a good relationship with anyone. Chen Ming just glanced at it, and probably knew what his mother's status was in the Zhao family. As for those who don't look good, they are probably worried that they will come back and grab property from them, right?

For the Zhao family's property, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and came here mainly to experience the feeling of family affection.

I just have to say that the feeling given to him here is very indifferent and unfamiliar. This feeling is a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, I know you're curious!" Zhao Guodong clapped his hands, "This is Lily's son, the grandson of the old Zhao family." It's this kid who refuses to change his surname. ”

Shouldn't it be bad? Not only Chen Ming, but a few people probably think the same way. Chen Mingzhen's surname is Zhao, that is, a member of the younger brother's line, and when the time comes, he will have a share of the family property.

"It's rare to have a family banquet, everyone get together and get acquainted!" Zhao Guodong instructed, "Especially your little nephew, who has met for the first time in so many years, help him get familiar with the Zhao family." ”

Is this necessary? Chen Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart, suddenly becoming the focus of the family banquet, and the taste was not very pleasant.

When people arrived, the dishes came up one after another, and they felt that they were all valuable things, and they were also cooked by famous chefs. Chen Ming had seen these dishes, but he had never eaten them before. It's okay to eat, the problem is that he generally doesn't waste so much.

"Haven't you eaten that good before?" Zhao Jianguo seemed to notice Chen Ming's expression.

"I can't bear to eat that good. Chen Ming shook his head, "Until I was fifteen years old, I didn't have much money. When you are used to being poor, you don't like to waste. ”

Talking as if he's rich right now...... There were a few people next to him, and they complained like this in their hearts.

"Then eat more, we're used to eating these things here anyway. Zhao Jianguo said casually, although these words were somewhat inadequate.

Fortunately, Chen Ming also knew that this was not a provocation or showing off, but a subconscious statement. However, I have to say that the living standard of the old Zhao family is indeed not bad.

When he really started eating, Chen Ming was not in a hurry, the ingredients used in the dishes were indeed exquisite, even if they were dishes he saw every day, there was a big gap between the taste and the impression. The key is that the cooking technique is very good, even if it is braised pork, it is cooked excellently.

It's just strange that after everyone sat down, they didn't eat much of this braised pork......

"Like to eat?" Zhao Jianguo said in a low voice, "This dish is the old man's favorite, so every family banquet will inevitably have this dish, but in fact, it is the old man who eats, we don't like to eat this dish very much, it's too greasy." ”

"I used to have to calculate how to eat oil, and if I ate one more drop, I might have to eat one less drop in the future. It is so fat and not greasy, and the meat juice is soft and tender but not rotten, which is too rare. Chen Ming sighed.

"If you like it, eat more. Zhao Jianguo smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. I can probably feel that this cousin must have grown up in the countryside before.

Zhao Guodong watched Chen Ming keep eating braised pork, and smiled with satisfaction, this kid is like him, he likes this meat. Those delicacies of the mountains and seas are all kinds of things, and they taste a little bit, and they are not satisfied.

God knows why these people have to promote eating this thing lately. Could it be that if you eat some abalone and ginseng wings or something, you can become a so-called master? I'm sorry, if you count up on his side, there are not many upper-class people!

So in his opinion, now these family members who are eating abalone and ginseng wings and looking like they are enjoying it, they feel a bit nouveau riche, maybe you ask them, why this thing is delicious, they can't tell!

Especially this shark fin, it has no taste in itself, and I don't know why others like it so much......

Unconsciously, Zhao Guodong felt a little more close to Chen Ming.
