Chapter 569: Dinner
Being stared at by Zhao Ming like this, Yin Qihua was very uncomfortable, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's sit down first and wait for them?" ”
Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, come, you go over and sit for a while, eat some fruit first, and wait." ”
Saying that, Li Jianguo, Pang Wenjing and others picked a table and sat down separately.
Zhao Ming went to the back kitchen and saw that Aunt Lan and the others were still busy, but it seemed that they had also entered the finishing state, and they were afraid that the dishes were almost ready.
"Boss, it's hot inside, why did you get in?" Aunt Lan saw Zhao Ming and wanted to take him out.
Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's too cold outside, it's okay to come in and get hot." ”
As he spoke, he greeted the others and said with a smile: "It's hard work, everyone, when we eat together, eat more." Try your craft too. ”
Everyone quickly smiled and nodded.
There are six people here, and they all have a clear division of labor, and they are doing their own work. Some sorted out the ingredients they bought in the morning, and some went to get the aquatic products that Zhao Ming asked Dongxing to send.
Aunt Lan came out and saw that the workers were all preparing to come here, and there were some people sitting around the table, but there were no outsiders in sight.
She said tentatively, "Boss, who haven't come yet?" ”
Zhao Ming smiled: "It's on the way." ”
Aunt Lan suddenly frowned and said, "It's so late to invite them to dinner?" Everyone is waiting for them, and the dishes are going to be cold. ”
"Isn't that yet served?" Zhao Ming smiled and comforted: "It's okay, it will come soon." ”
With that, he left the back kitchen.
Aunt Lan and the others still scolded in a low voice, and continued to work.
They are not worthy of Zhao Ming, there is no need to pay attention to it at all, he just sets the table for a treat, and the other party still doesn't come, so he doesn't give face.
When they came outside, the workers also packed up their hands and tails, washed their hands, and took their own dishes and chopsticks to sit down.
Sitting together in groups of three or five, if it weren't for the presence of leaders, I'm afraid they would have started shouting and slapping the table.
The construction site is like this, it's not that they want to make trouble, but everything they do is very passionate and lively.
Li Feng came to Zhao Ming's side and said in a low voice: "Boss, the people haven't come yet, do you want me to call them with some people?" ”
Zhao Ming waved his hand and said: "No need, everyone is a villager, if you call it, it will be too deliberate." I had already made an appointment with them yesterday, and it was still ten minutes away. ”
Li Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, ten minutes? If you really want to come, I'm afraid you'll come early, right? How can someone step on the point, it's okay if it doesn't give you face, I'm afraid I don't want to come.
While everyone was waiting, someone probed their brains in the direction of the gate, and then stood up and looked left and right.
After that, he was followed by several more people.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people appeared behind him, in groups, men, women and children, and some came with children in their arms.
Seeing this group of people appear, the workers were all smiling, and they were finally able to eat.
When Li Feng and the others saw this, they were all relieved, and they were almost moved to cry. Finally waited for them, but fortunately they didn't give up.
At the forefront is Mr. Wang, who works in the municipal party committee, and he is probably the most enviable position among the surrounding residents.
When this group of people appeared, Zhao Ming had already stood up, and then Li Feng and Huo Lin also stood up, and the three of them greeted them.
Pang Wenying and Li Jianguo continued to sit here, but they both had smiles on their faces.
The workers continued to sit, but they were not so noisy. Seeing these people again, they are not as hostile as they were at the beginning.
"Mr. Wang, guys, are you here? Take a seat. Zhao Ming stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Mr. Wang and the others one by one.
Mr. Wang smiled: "Mr. Zhao, we are not late, right?" You made an appointment and let us come at this time, but we didn't dare to come earlier, for fear of affecting everyone's work. ”
Zhao Minglang laughed: "It's not too late, it's just right." Come, please take a seat. ”
Everyone sat down one after another, and this group of neighbors sat in the front part, Zhao Ming did not choose to sit with Li Jianguo and others, nor did he sit at the same table with Pang Wenjing. He didn't share the stage with the workers at the construction site.
He chose to sit with this group of neighbors, and there were two little boys sitting next to him, some quiet, as if he was a little afraid of life, and did not dare to look at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming teased them with a smile and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Xiaoqiang."
"What about you?"
"Xiao Gang."
"They're all good names."
Zhao Ming said, touched their heads, then reached out and took a pre-meal orange, peeled it, handed it to them, and said, "Come, eat some fruit, the vegetables will come up soon." ”
The two little boys looked at each other and did not dare to reach out to take it, but they were very embarrassed and frightened for fear of losing their manners.
Zhao Ming smiled and put the oranges in their bowls, and then said: "Don't be nervous, just treat this place as if it were your own home, and I won't eat people." ”
The two boys glanced at Zhao Ming, but their eyes were still a little nervous.
Zhao Ming made a grimace and said, "Do you look like I'm eating people?" ”
Xiaoqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "No, you are better looking than the newspaper." ”
Zhao Ming said: "Haha, you really have vision." ”
Everyone else couldn't help laughing, the neighbors at the same table were still a little nervous, but seeing that Zhao Ming was still as casual as ever, they were also a lot more relaxed.
Mr. Wang was also at this table, just opposite Zhao Ming, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you broke the bank today, in fact, everyone knows what the purpose of your invitation to us is, that is, you want to settle this matter peacefully, right?" ”
Zhao Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no conflict between everyone, so there is no peaceful solution, right?" Eat and drink with confidence, I really just want to make you feel sorry. ”
As he spoke, the dishes were already being served. Li Feng and a few workers went to help, first bringing the dishes to Zhao Ming's table, then to Pang Wenjing and Li Jianguo, and finally to others.
The first dish is roast chicken, which is ordered by Zhao Ming, you must get one, and you have to cut it, and everyone eats a little meat first.
It was this dish, and when it came up, it was immediately eaten by someone first.
Zhao Ming's table, after coming up, looked at it directly, and did not move the chopsticks first. Both boys looked with straight eyes, and wanted to clamp it, but they were too embarrassed to do it first.
Zhao Ming knew that if he didn't move the chopsticks first, others wouldn't do it. He hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken thigh, handed it to Xiaoqiang's bowl, and then said, "Everyone eats, come, the hospitality is not good, forgive me." ”
As he spoke, he picked up another piece and handed it to Xiao Gang's bowl.
The two boys glanced at their parents before eating. When the others saw this, they also laughed, this is the chopsticks.
Immediately after, the second course, the third course, eight dishes in a row, and another pot of soup in the middle. Everyone is eating with their mouths full of oil, so they are not happy.
Someone probed their brain, as if looking for something.
Zhao Ming asked, "Uncle Chen, what are you looking for?" ”
He did his homework in advance, and he knew the names of these neighbors, so he called other people's names to make the neighbors feel cordial.
Uncle Chen said embarrassedly: "Xiao Zhao, why can't you find where to put the porridge?" ”
Zhao Ming was stunned, and the other people at his table were a little embarrassed, especially Mr. Wang, who almost buried his head in the rice bowl.
Zhao Ming stood up and smiled slightly: "Come, I'll help you go to dinner, right?" Because it was night, the workers had to eat to replenish their strength, so they did not cook porridge. You don't mind, do you? ”
Uncle Chen hurriedly said, "Don't mind, I'm glad, just pour some soup later." ”
Zhao Ming smiled and entered the kitchen to serve him rice, but in fact, Aunt Lan and the others didn't cook much. The main reason is that there are too many dishes today, and it is estimated that everyone will not eat anymore, just eat the vegetables and be full.
However, for the sake of safety, she still cooked half of the people's meals, and at first a few workers with large meals went to serve the meals, and the others continued to eat.
So, there are still a lot of meals.
After Zhao Ming cooked the meal, he came out and put it on Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen's son whispered something in his ear, as if blaming him.
Zhao Ming knew what they were thinking, and laughed loudly: "Uncle Chen, it's time to eat." If you don't have enough to eat, keep fighting. By the way, if you don't feel full enough, you can also go to eat. ”
As he spoke, he touched his belly and said, "I'm used to eating, I don't eat for a day, I only eat vegetables, I'm really a little unused to it." ”
With that, he got up and went to eat.
When the others saw this, they all laughed, and the embarrassment disappeared in an instant. Uncle Chen's son didn't speak anymore, his face full of smiles. Uncle Chen also ate with a smile.
I was full of wine and food, and I saw that all the dishes were finished, and everyone was almost finished. But Zhao Ming was just eating with him, and he didn't mean to say anything at all.
Pang Wenjing couldn't sit still, she was a little puzzled, why didn't Zhao Ming say something?
Li Jianguo was also puzzled, Zhao Ming held such a dinner, didn't he plan to say something?
As the saying goes, take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. He had just finished inviting guests to dinner, and if he had reported his situation to these neighbors, and then vomited bitterness or something, he would probably be fine.
But he still doesn't say anything, is he really just just trying to have a meal? Just apologize and don't do anything?
Pang Wenjing couldn't sit still, got up and came to Zhao Ming's side, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ming, I have something to tell you, let's take a look." ”
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, got up and apologized to everyone, and then followed her to the office.
