Chapter Ninety-Eight: Toast (Subscription Requested)
"The dish is here, everyone, don't be polite, let's go!"
"Come, Xiao Man, taste this sweet lotus root!"
"Xiaoman, this is the bamboo shoot thread I told you, how about you taste it?"
"Xiao Man, this egg roll must be eaten while it is hot, it won't taste good when it's cold!"
"Xiao Man,"
As the wine and food were brought to the table one by one, Qin Liufu kept persuading Su Xiaoman to eat this and that except for the beginning of the conversation, the rest of the time he kept persuading Su Xiaoman to eat this and that, as for his sister and cousin, as well as the beautiful store manager and beautiful employees, Qin Liufu said that he couldn't care so much
Although Su Xiaoman was a little embarrassed by Qin Liufu's enthusiasm, because the taste of the dishes introduced by Qin Liufu was indeed very local, in front of this rare delicacy, Su Xiaoman couldn't care so much, and ate first as respect!
"Well, this sweet lotus root is soft and glutinous and sweet, and the taste is really amazing, but it's a pity that it takes too much effort to make, and it will be difficult to eat it in the future!" Su Xiaoman commented while eating.
Qin Liufu said with a smile: "This will be tired of eating it often, you can only maintain that expectation by eating it once in a while, if you want to eat it in the future, come to us, you are not afraid that you won't be able to eat it!"
The next bamboo shoot line, Su Xiaoman also gave a very high evaluation, can become a major local specialty of the dish, as long as the master's craftsmanship is good enough to make it authentic, generally speaking, it is not difficult to conquer outsiders.
Of course, if there is too much difference in eating habits, don't talk about it, for example, foreigners, the difference in diet between countries, sometimes it is really not something that can be smoothed out with good craftsmanship.
In addition to Su Xiaoman's feeling that these specialties are very delicious, Chen Yuanyuan, Jiang Jing, Ye Yingying, Liu Yiyi, Zhao Xiaoli, Liu Shanshan and other women are also full of praise.
In addition to these specialties, the four soups of three salty and one sweet are also very popular, after all, they are all slow-boiled soups made with real ingredients, and the taste is really not comparable to the soup made in ordinary restaurants.
After Su Xiaoman tasted the specialties one by one, Qin Liufu looked at Chen Yuanyuan and the other women, and said, "Do you want to drink some wine?"
Jiang Jing replied with a smile: "Big boss, do you want to drink?" If you want to drink, we will accompany you to drink, if you don't want to drink, then we can drink some drinks!"
Qin Liufu looked at Su Xiaoman and asked, "What about you, Xiaoman, do you want to drink some?"
Su Xiaoman remembered that her mother told her not to drink, so she wanted to excuse herself, but before the words could be spoken, Qin Qiyue, who was sitting on her left, said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoman, let's drink some together!"
If Qin Liufu opened his mouth, Su Xiaoman could still excuse himself, but it was Qin Qiyue who spoke, and Su Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, so he nodded and said, "Then drink less with you!"
At the table adjacent to Qin Liufu, there were six classmates, Lu Wenbin, Wei Sanshi, Pang Shaolong, Fang Shixuan, Zhang Fanghua, and An Ruoxin, and they were accompanied by Qin Wufeng, a key college student, and three highly educated beautiful employees of the fruit store.
Now, Huang Tongtong's marriage to another woman's wife is already an irreversible thing, if Lu Wenbin still had some nostalgia in his heart before, after seeing the big scene of the twenty or thirty beautiful female employees in the fruit store getting together, he really saw it.
With his family background, there is still a large forest outside waiting for him to cut down, for example, the three beauties who sit with them, although they are not as good as Huang Tongtong in terms of appearance, but they are also rare beauties, if you can add a WeChat or something, then today is worth the trip.
As for Pang Shaolong, Fang Shixuan, and Wei Sanshi, they are more self-aware, since graduating from college and entering the society, the three of them have been repeatedly beaten by the society.
So they know better than anyone else that the three beauties in front of them are no less educated than them, and they really can't touch them with poor silk who has no outstanding looks and no wealthy family background.
What if they add other people's WeChat? They don't even have the qualifications to be a spare tire for others!
And Zhang Fanghua and An Ruoxin's thoughts at the moment are more complicated.
Especially Zhang Fanghua, who originally rushed over thousands of miles to attend Huang Tongtong's wedding banquet, just to see how "good" the glamorous Huang Daxiao was now.
The results were mixed.
"Happy" is Huang Tongtong, who was as proud as a peacock in the past, and today he is married to an ugly and deliberately exaggerated statement.
"Worried" is that this ugly family background seems to be a little too good, and the wedding cost nearly one million, but the result is that he does not take any money, which greatly demonstrates the man's financial resources.
As for An Ruoxin, her heart is bigger than Zhang Fanghua, although she was overwhelmed by Huang Tongtong in four years of college, she came here this time to see what kind of man Huang Tongtong, who was like a lone team in school back then, married.
Now that I have seen it, the stuffiness that has accumulated for many years has also dissipated.
"A few beauties, so many good wines and good dishes, you see everyone has drunk, let's also drink wine all the time?" Lu Wenbin looked at the three beauties and said.
The three beauties also have eyes, and they all looked at Qin Wufeng when they heard the words, as long as the five shareholders said to drink something, then everyone would drink some together, if the five shareholders said not to drink, then they would not drink.
Seeing this, Qin Wufeng smiled and said, "Then let's drink some together!"
The five shareholders all spoke, and the three beautiful employees naturally nodded and said yes.
So, after Qin Liufu and them started drinking, Lu Wenbin and their table also opened wine and drank it.
When the bride and groom are always the hardest, when a group of relatives and friends start to eat and drink, the bride and groom have to start toasting next to the table.
Especially for a wine banquet like the Qin family, where there are more than 130 tables in one place, the bride and groom want to toast table by table, even if each table is just to say a few words, and then everyone will clink glasses together.
It takes at least an hour to get down so many tables.
And the wedding banquet rule here in Qinghe Village is that if the bride and groom have not come to toast, even if you are full, you can't easily leave the table. After all, everyone is full and leaves, so when the bride and groom come to toast, they find that there is no one left, how embarrassing is that?
Therefore, the default rule in Qinghe Village is that the guests can not leave the table until the bride and groom have finished toasting.
The toast naturally started from the elders' side, table by table, and by the time it was Qin Liufu's turn to be at their table, it was already more than twenty minutes later.
Seeing Qin Dabao and Huang Tongtong coming over with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, the people at Qin Liufu's table all stood up with wine, and then said some words of blessing.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, I wish you a hundred years of happiness and an early birth of a noble son!" This is the congratulatory words of Qin Liufu, Su Xiaoman, and Qin Qiyue.
"Cousin and sister-in-law, I wish you a hundred years of good harmony and an early birth of a precious son!" this is Dai Yuqing's congratulatory speech.
"I wish Mr. Qin a hundred years of happiness and an early birth of a precious son!" This is the congratulatory words of the beautiful store managers and beautiful clerks of those fruit stores.
There are so many tables to toast, and if each table is a real drink from the bride and groom, it is that the god of wine can't hold it.
Therefore, the toast of the bride and groom is also very particular, if the weight is not heavy enough for the guests, the bride and groom either drink the "fake wine" that has been stolen and replaced, or let the groomsmen and bridesmaids drink on their behalf.
Only when they meet a real guest will the bride and groom have a real drink.
There were also thirty or forty tables of toasts in front of them, and when they were toasting the most important elders, Qin Dabao and Huang Tongtong drank a few small glasses of wine, and the other guests were all let the best man and bridesmaid drink on their behalf.
But at this table, when toasting, Huang Tongtong actually drank two glasses of wine, one was for Qin Liufu, the little uncle, and the other was for Su Xiaoman.
Except for the ignorant Su Xiaoman, everyone else understands what is going on in their hearts!
Several beautiful store managers of the fruit store secretly sighed, their former colleague, today's major shareholder's wife, really has a delicate heart, even if they become a family, in the little thing of toasting, they also give the big boss enough face!
After saluting Qin Liufu's table, it was Lu Wenbin's turn to take their table.
Huang Tongtong walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really embarrassed that I didn't entertain you well today!"
"You're welcome, this good wine and good food has been greeted very thoughtfully!" Lu Wenbin stood up with a wine glass full of wine and said, "Huang Tongtong, I wish you a happy marriage and an early birth to a precious son!"
Everyone else raised their glasses and said congratulatory words.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Dabao and Huang Tongtong thanked each other, but when they were drinking, it was the best man and bridesmaids who did it for them.
Seeing that Bai Shasha took the wine glass and wanted to drink it for Huang Tongtong, Lu Wenbin immediately said: "Bai Shasha, you don't have to do this cup for you, right?
Zhang Fanghua said approvingly: "That is, it's rare for us to get together once after graduation, Huang Tongtong, you can have a drink with our old classmates!"
Pang Shaolong also coaxed: "Yes, Huang Tongtong, Bai Shasha, Zhou Ting, a few of our classmates have a rare get-together, let's have a drink first!"
Huang Tongtong smiled ruddy and said, "Old classmates, please be considerate, I'm really a little overwhelmed!"
Lu Wenbin said: "It's just a toast together, won't you even give this little face?"
Wei Sanshi also said: "Yes, classmate Huang Tongtong, there are so many old classmates here today, give some face, let's have a drink together!"
Huang Tongtong saw that he couldn't refuse, so he said: "Why don't I drink a small half cup, and let them do the rest?"
Zhang Fanghua said: "Huang Tongtong, you are too uninteresting, just now I saw you toasting at the table in front of you, that was two glasses in a row, why did you come to our old classmates, and you refused to drink a glass?"
This is a bit of a meaning of putting Huang Tongtong there.
Seeing this, Qin Dabao hurriedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, is it okay for me to drink her wine?"
Lu Wenbin was still thinking about the WeChat of other beauties, and he didn't want to go too far, so he nodded and said: "Of course, the groom can drink on his behalf, but the rules for drinking on behalf of him must be doubled!"
Huang Tongtong didn't want to waste too much time here, so he said, "Okay, I'll drink half a cup, and he will drink a cup, so it's okay, right?"
An Ruoxin, who had not spoken, said loudly: "It's okay, Huang Tongtong, I wish you a happy wedding again!"
Zhang Fanghua saw that An Ruoxin said this, so she stopped pestering, and then everyone toasted together!
Because he drank two glasses of wine in a row when he respected Qin Liufu and Su Xiaoman, and now he is half a glass down, Huang Tongtong is a little uncomfortable.
The scene of her sister-in-law being forced to drink by her college classmates made Qin Liufu look at it, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Because the bride and groom have a lot of entertainment, many guests will not be too entangled even if they know that the bride and groom are drinking fake wine that has been stolen or let the groomsmen and bridesmaids drink it on their behalf.
If it is a very good friend and girlfriend, and the toast has come to an end, then the young man loves to play, and it is normal to pour wine into the bride and groom.
But the relationship between everyone is obviously not good, and there are nearly 100 tables that need the bride and groom to toast, but the sister-in-law's college classmates still talk to the sister-in-law, so that she has to drink, which is a bit excessive.
Therefore, Qin Liufu, who was a little unhappy, looked at Jiang Jing, Chen Yuanyuan, Ye Yingying, Liu Yiyi, Zhao Xiaoli, and Liu Shanshan, the six beautiful employees of the fruit store, and said: "Young ladies, pick up your wine, go over there and pay a good salute to my sister-in-law's college classmates, so that they can feel the enthusiasm of our Qinghe Village!"
Jiang Jing and the others also saw the scene just now, and naturally knew why the big boss was unhappy, so they took orders one after another, and then several beautiful store managers exchanged a little, and soon had a specific toasting plan.
The first to attack was the more sleek Jiang Jing, she went to the next table to briefly explain the situation, and then took several beautiful female employees in their Xianguo No. 3 branch and walked towards Lu Wenbin's table.
"Hello handsome guys and beauties, we are employees of Yongcheng Xianguo No. 3 Branch, let's get to know each other!"
