090 Surprise Party
By the time we returned to the pioneer village, it was almost eight o'clock, the beginning of the bar rush hour. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After seeing Lan Li appear, Janice Black only had time to say hello, so she beckoned Lan Li to hurry up and help, "It's crazy busy today, things can't be busy at all, the warehouse has just arrived with a batch of goods, and it's too late to even order the goods, you hurry up and go to the kitchen to take a look, you need more than just two hands." β
Lan Li had originally planned to tell Janice that he had taken the role of "buried alive", but when he heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to work and enter the bar.
Sure enough, the entire bar was full, even the bar counter was no longer empty, and there were at least five tables of guests waiting at the door, no nonsense, Lan Li walked to the side of the bar and shouted, "Neil, do you need my help here?"
Neil Tucson was pouring beer, didn't lift his head, and replied directly, "Kitchen, you go to the kitchen to help." β
Lan Li made an "OK" gesture and walked quickly towards the kitchen, only to push open the kitchen door, and then saw a three-tiered cake, which grabbed all the attention, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Wow, is there any special event today?"
Stanley Charleson was standing right next to the cake and said, "Hey, man, you're back." Stanley said hello and explained, "There's a guy here tonight who is proposing, so please we're ready." Now we are waiting for the slogan. β
"So, so many guests tonight are friends and relatives of that guy?" Lan Li's mind immediately thought of this matter, because today is an ordinary Tuesday, and it is not easy for the bar to be so lively.
"No, most of the guests are here for tonight's show. Stanley shook his head, "A British folk band came over to play, Passenger, remember?"
"Yes. Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but light up, the Passenger Band is a typical British band, established for many years, although it has not become a big hit, but it has many loyal fans in the UK. Later, the band made a name for themselves with the song "Let-Her-Go", "But doesn't it mean that they gave up touring the United States because one of the members left?"
The Passenger Band has only two members.
Stanley shrugged, noncommittal. Lan Li immediately reacted, how could he forget, now the bar is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, he came in to help, these gossips can be said later, and when he turned his head, he saw a busy kitchen, "Which list is ready?" β
"Lan Li, come here. Stanley gestured to the handle of the cake cart, "You're in charge of this, and everyone else is busy." Stanley moved out of the way, and then Lan Li took over, "You light all the candles now, and when you wait for my signal, we'll turn off the lights in the whole bar, and then you slowly push it out." I've already talked about the band on stage, and they will play the required repertoire. β
"Wow, this guy looks like he's going to win. Lan Li was amazed, but the movements in his hands did not slacken, picked up the special igniter, and began to light candles.
It's a three-tiered sky-blue cake, and instead of clichΓ©s with slogans like "Marry me" or "I love you", each floor is designed with different contents, the bottom floor looks like a garden, with strawberries and pineapples, the middle floor looks like a house, and the top layer is a small statue of a man surfing, and then a candle with the numbers "9" and "7".
Even as a bystander, Lan Li couldn't help but be curious, the design of this cake is ingenious, and it must contain memories that can only be read between two people. This marriage proposal ceremony is difficult to achieve without success. Lan Li is also really happy for the protagonist who is about to accept the marriage proposal.
After the candles were lit, Lan Li carefully pointed the cake cart at the exit, and at the same time made way for the other waiters to serve the food smoothly. After a while, Stanley's figure appeared at the door, and shouted to Lan Li in a low voice, "You push it out now, pause when you get to the door, I'll turn off the lights, and you can come out again after the lights go out." β
Lan Li nodded that it was no problem, and then shouted to the other partners in the kitchen, "Everyone has to study hard, after going back today, it is estimated that everyone will suffer, and it is the truth to think about how to deal with it in advance." "Most of the kitchen is full of men, and if their significant other hears such a romantic confession, it won't stop.
Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but laugh.
Standing at the door and waiting for a while, the lights outside went out, and then Lan Li pushed the cake cart and walked out, the whole dark bar only the kitchen behind him revealed a halo, all eyes were focused on the cake candles, the bar was a little too quiet, which made Lan Li a little strange - shouldn't the other guests of the bar be restless because of curiosity and excitement, but now they were so quiet, as if they all knew about the surprise.
However, this thought only lingered in my mind for a moment, and then it was all dissipated by the music on stage, and it turned out to be the classic confession track of the Backstreet-Boys, "I'll-Never-Break-Your-Heart". Blissful and sweet, one almost wants to melt.
Lan Li slowly pushed the cake cart forward, looking for the figure of today's protagonist in the crowd, and then he remembered that he actually forgot to ask Stanley where he should park the cake cart.
Suddenly, the spotlight of the stage behind him lit up, aiming at the cake cart, and Lan Li realized that the high tide was coming, so he took a half step back slightly, leaving the stage to the two protagonists.
At this moment, the music of the band behind him came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a light and translucent guitar string sound, and the familiar melody made Lan Li's footsteps pause, and his eyes began to search around a little dazedly, trying to find an insider to explain the situation.
"I used to be Cleopatra, I was a young playman, when you kneel in front of my bed and beg me to hold hands ......", the melody sounded is "Cleopatra" composed and sung by Lan Li, this song is about a tragedy, full of regret and sorrow, which is not suitable for the atmosphere of the proposal scene.
Without waiting for Lan Li to find an insider, the lights of the bar turned on, the light was a little dazzling, Lan Li reflexively squinted his eyes, through the curtains, dimly saw in the line of sight that all were densely packed with people, everyone stood up together, clapped vigorously, following the direction of everyone's eyes, Lan Li turned his head to look at the stage, and the emotion of an instant surged, before he realized it, the warm mist had blurred his vision.
Stanley, Neil, Janice...... And all the waiters at the bar, all of them standing on the stage, Neil standing in the center, holding the microphone and singing loudly, "But it's too late, it's too late, I've missed the love of my life." When I pass away, I won't miss it again. β
The melody was cut off at this point, and Neil shouted into the microphone, "Three, two, one!"
So, everyone in the audience shouted in unison, "Congratulations to Lan Li!" Bang, bang, bang, bang, everyone raised the fireworks in their hands, and they rang out one after another, and colorful ribbons and colorful fireworks fell all over the sky, and the sound of one after another was accompanied by cheers, shouts, and screams, filling the entire pioneer village.
A wave of happiness and joy slammed violently in his chest, and the surging emotion made Lan Li a little at a loss.
There was a push behind him, and when he looked back, it was the guys in the kitchen, who also walked out one after another at some point, pushing Lan Li onto the stage. Neil welcomed Lan Li, "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to our true hero tonight, Lan Li-Hall!"
"Roar, roar, roar", everyone banged on the table, and the powerful momentum swept through, even compared to the bar where you watched a rugby game.
Looking at the faces in front of him with a hazy gaze, searching carefully, Lan Li noticed that all the customers in the bar were regular customers, and he could name everyone.
Looking back now, Lan Li finally realized that something was wrong, he went to the audition for "buried alive" today, which everyone knew, but whether it was Janice or Neil, they didn't even ask at all, and they didn't even mention a word, so they just asked Lan Li to go to the kitchen in a hurry, so that Lan Li didn't have time to take a good look at the situation of the bar customers, and naturally he didn't find anything wrong.
"So, there are no marriage proposals?" Lan Li finally came back to his senses at this time, everyone on the scene shook their heads in unison and gave a negative answer, "There is no passenger band either?" Stanley looked up and laughed, shaking his head in denial, "So, all this is for my surprise party?" The unanimous affirmative reply from the audience really made Lan Li a little crying and laughing.
They were really well-intentioned for this party, "Wait, how did you know I was coming over today?"
Stanley shrugged, "I don't know. We're going to ask Neil to call you if you don't come back at nine o'clock and say it's too busy and short of staff. β
Lan Li suddenly realized, and then a smile was irrepressibly drawn at the corner of his mouth, "Thank you." If you think about it, you can't find a more accurate word other than this sentence, so you can only say it again, "Thank you, I'm serious." β
Although they had not worked in the pioneer village for a long time, they had become true friends, and looking at the sincere faces in front of her, Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, "Why do I feel like I have a feeling of accepting a marriage proposal? This answer made everyone collectively laugh, and the coaxing was endless.
Finally, there is one more question.
After the smile settled, Lan Li looked at Neil, "How do you know that I got the role this time?
No, after this sentence came out, everyone was stunned, and the noise stopped, and finally Neil was the first to react, "You got the role? Wow, congratulations, congratulations! It seems that today is a double happiness!"
