Chapter 148: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry
In this way, the idea of dealing with this matter is very clear: Mao Xiaohu plans to contact Zhang Tianlong first, after all, the Ye family and the Brotherhood Alliance are united, and the threat to him is the greatest, he should be willing to come forward to help with this, see if he can talk to Ye Hong, persuade her, and strive to get the support of the eldest sister.
So, when everyone sat down and prepared to eat, Mao Xiaohu sat next to Ye Yuhan, and secretly patted her thigh twice with his hand when no one was paying attention, and then squeezed his eyebrows and glanced at her, which meant telling her: Don't be in a hurry about today's affairs, let's wait until I finish finding a relationship, otherwise the effect may backfire!
Then, Ye Yuhan also glanced at him meaningfully, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, this girl is usually so smart, she probably understands what he means.
Mao Xiaohu was relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner from the first family in the provincial capital, the Ye family.
is worthy of a big family, this hospitality is really extraordinary, and Mao Xiaohu, a native who has never seen the world, was shocked at that time:
Ace best abalone, Buddha jumping over the wall, thick soup swallow abalone wings, sauce roasted baby fish, papaya stewed blood swallow, steamed eastern star grouper, these are enough to dazzle him, but these are still basic operations, the most eye-catching of which is the platinum caviar from Austria, which costs as much as $300,000 per kilogram, almost $40,000 for a small spoonful!
This caviar comes from the very rare albino sturgeon, which costs five kilograms to make one kilogram of white gold caviar. The albino sturgeon that makes this caviar originally lived in the waters of the Caspian Sea, but is now almost extinct, making it extremely valuable.
After the caviar is made, it is all imported and airborne, and it must have a relationship with the Austrian manufacturer, otherwise you can't buy it with money alone!
Think that's the end of it?
In addition, when the soup is served at the end, everyone has a supreme dish called crocodile tail stew in front of them.
It is said that it is a supreme famous dish, not because of how difficult it is to make this dish, to put it bluntly, it is to use the crocodile tail to boil the soup and drink, but the real difficulty is the selection of raw materials for the dish, as we all know, the crocodile tail has a lot of scale-like "armor", so after removing these armors, it can really be used to make soup and eat only a small area.
Crocodile is not only an excellent delicacy, but also a good medicine for strengthening the body: meat can replenish blood and bones, dried meat can also be used as an ingredient, which refers to a good remedy for asthma; liver can nourish the brain and generate blood; kidney can nourish kidney and qi; bones can strengthen muscles and bones, and can also treat rheumatism; fat can treat skin diseases; blood can prevent cancer, and crocodile tail is the essence of it!
Of course, the price is naturally very expensive, a case of soup, just a small cup as big as a palm, as high as 20,000 yuan!
This does not include the loss of crocodiles, because the soup is served in a small cup, and one serving in front of each person's hand, so at the end of a meal, several crocodiles must be eaten alone!
However, for the Ye family, these are nothing at all, they are all small money!
This scene is enough to make people jaw-dropping, Mao Xiaohu couldn't help but praise in his heart: Damn, no wonder people are nobles and nobles, this meal is really expensive, at least I have a Mercedes-Benz S320 to eat!
I used to feel very guilty about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, what a loser, but I didn't expect that after seeing the living conditions of the Ye family, the kind of life I lived was so frugal and simple, it was just a small thing!
Later, after eating and coming out of the dining room, everyone returned to the living room, ready to sit on the sofa to drink tea, and chatted a few words, when two women dressed in grace and luxury came over next to them, one was older, a short-haired, almost sixty-year-old lady, according to Ye Yuhan, this is Ye Zhenhua's wife, that is, the hostess of the Ye family, a well-deserved wife! Ye Hong, Ye Qiu, and Ye Lei were all born to her.
And the one who followed behind was the second wife, Ye Yuchen and Ye Yuhan's mother, who looked very good-looking, like a movie star, although she was in her forties, she was maintained like a little girl in her twenties, and she smiled very gently, approachable, and the eldest lady standing in front of her looked like a stinky eight woman who was not happy with anyone, and she was like two people!
As for why he didn't see them at the table during the meal, Mao Xiaohu didn't understand it very well at first, but later he learned that the rules in the big family were very strict: whenever there were guests coming, the female wives and concubines of the family were not allowed to eat at the table, and they had to eat in the small room in the back, and only after the guests had eaten could they come out to say hello.
Except for Ye Yuhan, of course, she is a baby daughter.
This rule is aimed at wives and concubines and servants, for the lords of these large families, in their opinion, women are no different from servants, like clothes, you can put them on or take them off, when necessary, they will act as a face, and sometimes they will feel burdensome!
In short, sitting in the living room, everyone began to chat about the judgment of the future economic situation, urban development planning, and the general environment and policies in the next few years.
Although he used to study in school, but books and reality are fundamentally different things, he can memorize theoretical knowledge, but when it comes to specific examples, he is completely confused, such as Ye Zhenhua asked him: "Xiaohu, what do you think of xxx company, their family is engaged in the Internet, are you optimistic about them?"
"Well, for the time being, I'm quite optimistic, but things are developing, and it's hard to say anything in the future......" Mao Xiaohu had no choice but to find these ambiguous words to prevaricate and perfunctory.
"What about the blockchain, what do you think about this?" Ye Zhenhua then asked.
Mao Xiaohu was panicked now, and suddenly sweated profusely: "Eh, this, this, the blockchain is very good, it is a good thing, and it will definitely become the mainstream of economic development in the future......"
"Oh, is it? That's it......" Ye Zhenhua didn't express his opinion, but frowned and asked a few questions.
At this time, Mao Xiaohu was even more panicked, and his calves and stomach were about to tremble.
may also see his embarrassment, Ye Zhenhua did not continue to ask in this regard, but changed the topic, began to pull up the family routine, and talked about daily life.
"By the way, Xiaohu, I heard that you and our family Yuhan are colleagues and good friends, right? Then you should know about her engagement to Lei Zhen and Lei Gongzi, right?
Somehow, chatting and chatting, I talked about Lei Zhen's body.
I don't know if Ye Zhenhua, the old fox, did it on purpose!
At that time, Mao Xiaohu gasped and said in his heart: What kind of character is this Ye Zhenhua? He must have already seen that I was entrusted and Ye Yuhan came to help him withdraw from the marriage! After all, we are like this, and we don't look like a little couple in love at all!
And now that Ye Zhenhua asked this sentence, the reason is very simple, that is, he was tempting, wanting to pierce this layer of window paper, and then refuse Ye Yuhan in public, so that she completely died of this heart!
After all, this marriage was personally decided by Ye Zhenhua and Ye Zaishan, the two old men, and it was impossible for them to change their minds!
And now that the eldest sister Ye Hong is not here, there is no one who can speak, and the situation will be stalemate in the end, but it will be reversed, causing a worse impact, and this matter will be completely hopeless!
Thinking of this, Mao Xiaohu subconsciously glanced at Ye Yuhan.
But I didn't expect this girl to know that she really told the truth!
Ye Yuhan stood up and shouted excitedly: "Parents, second uncle, eldest mother, second brother and fourth brother, I don't want to hide it from you now, you brought Xiaohu back tonight, it was a gift and a meal, what do you mean, you should be clear, right?"
As she spoke, she also walked over and grabbed Mao Xiaohu's arm, and intimately leaned her head on his shoulder, although Mao Xiaohu dodged to the side several times, glared at her, and asked her not to say anything in front, but it was useless, it was too late!
Ye Yuhan has already opened his mouth: "Mao Xiaohu is actually my real boyfriend, the two of us really love each other, I don't want to be engaged to that bullshit Lei Zhen, I want to be with Mao Xiaohu!"
After saying this, everyone's reaction was stunned.
The eldest lady and the second wife didn't speak, and sat aside with solemn faces, in this family, these two women couldn't speak.
The second Ye Qiu also didn't speak, with a straight face, looking at everything in front of him with a serious face.
Only the old Siye Yuchen opened his mouth, and he said happily: "Ouch, little sister, you're amazing, don't tell me when you fall in love?"
Saying that, he also walked in front of him, lowered his voice, and said secretly: "Damn, you, you, dare to confront your father and second uncle in public, and refuse what they have decided a long time ago, awesome! Don't worry, I support you in this matter, fourth brother!"
And Ye Zhenhua and Ye Zaishan looked at each other and smiled at this time, with a satisfied smile on their faces, and that smile seemed to have succeeded in the treacherous scheme.
"Hmph, I already knew that it would be a good thing for you two to send such a valuable gift for no reason! The marriage between you and Lei Zhen was discussed between me and your second uncle a long time ago, and this matter can't be changed, you should die of this heart!" Then, Ye Zhenhua said with a gloomy face.
"No, what do you mean it's been discussed a long time ago, have you agreed with me before? I haven't seen that Lei Zhen, and I heard that he has a good relationship with the third brother and is a good friend. I can see the third brother's virtues, they are the same, I don't want to marry someone like the third brother!" Ye Yuhan shouted excitedly.
"Shut up! You dare to talk nonsense to me again! Do you know what dignity and humility are, and your third brother is what you can say? What kind of person is he, you can tell me clearly!" Ye Zhenhua was obviously angry.
At that time, it was not only Ye Zhenhua, but even the eldest lady sitting next to her had a very ugly face, after all, the third Ye Lei was also her son no matter how bastard she was, and now Ye Yuhan, the daughter of this little concubine, dared to slander her son like this, this is to rebel?
At this time, Mao Xiaohu also felt that the situation was wrong, if he continued to mess around with Ye Yuhan, Ye Zhenhua would be really angry, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will find the eldest sister Ye Hong to come over and help say good things, and it will be useless!
So Mao Xiaohu quickly stood up, ran to Ye Yuhan's side, grabbed her arm, told her to stop talking, and then whispered in her ear:
"Hey, you're stupid, didn't I hint at you? If you don't say it, don't say it, why did you still say it? And why are you still quarreling with them, isn't this aggravating the contradiction, and the extremes of things must be opposed?"
But after Ye Yuhan heard this, he frowned: "What? Why can't you say it now? And when did you hint at me?"
Mao Xiaohu explained: "Look at this scene, who is on our side, supports us, and can speak for us? Except for your fourth brother Ye Yuchen, but does what he says work? Will your father and second uncle listen? So what I mean is to hold back and don't say anything, anyway, you will get engaged next month, there is still time, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! We had better talk to your eldest sister first, and strive to get her support, so that we can still have a good chance of winning!"
"Also, I hinted at you just now, didn't I slap your thigh when I was eating? What's wrong, you still looked at me at the time, I thought you knew!"
"Ah, slap me on the thigh?" After Ye Yuhan heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he pouted and muttered quietly:
"I thought you were playing hooligan, touching my legs, taking advantage of me......"
