Chapter 0077: Christmas Dinner
After speaking, Ji Lingjun left the dining table and went to the kitchen to find Yu Wenling, she estimated that Yu Wenling must be in the kitchen at this time, and she really helped in the kitchen, today's Christmas dinner Zhao Weidong asked to make a sumptuous meal, then only to make more good dishes, all the people are helping, Ji Lingjun called Yu Wenling over and said:
"Wenling, that's the case, just now Wei Dong said that today is Christmas Eve, it's the New Year, you all live with us for a long time, it's like a family, and now it's the New Year, and the family will celebrate the New Year together."
Yu Wenling hurriedly said: "Miss, no, no, no, how can we eat together, you tell the young master, I understand his intentions on behalf of everyone, thank you." ”
"Wen Ling, don't be polite, just go if you want to go, don't you want the young master to invite you?"
"Don't, don't, okay, let's just listen to the young master and celebrate the New Year together."
"Wen Ling, you guys have done all the dishes that should be cooked, and then serve them out together, and don't bother anymore when you turn around."
"Okay, miss, you go out, after I arrange it, we will go to Christmas together."
"Okay, then I'll go out first."
Soon the Christmas dinner dishes were served one after another, and the original order of serving was salad and cold dishes first, followed by main course and hot dishes, then desserts and snacks, then fruits, and finally drinks.
Today, because Zhao Weidong proposed to let everyone come together for the New Year, eat Christmas dinner, and complete the previous three procedures at one time, the most important dish today is roasted whole turkey, Norwegian smoked salmon, French foie gras, English oxtail soup, fried clams with green onion and ginger, baked oysters with cheese and pineapple, baked scallops with herb butter, Portuguese braised money grouper, minced and steamed deep-sea dragon grouper, braised crab with fennel wine sauce, Indian curry chicken, black pepper beef, crab roe tendons, Christmas minced meatloaf, Christmas pudding, chocolate moss, mixed fruit cheese salad, Christmas cake.
Zhao Weidong didn't expect that all the salads and cold dishes, main dishes and hot dishes, desserts and snacks would be like this, the whole eighteen plates, the largest plate is of course a roast turkey weighing more than ten pounds, it seems that now everyone knows that I like to eat seafood, and the Christmas dinner is also based on seafood, fortunately Zhao Weidong did not find any signs that Ye Qianru and Di Lingjun don't like to eat, otherwise it would be difficult to do.
When everyone sat down, I didn't expect that although the table was not big, eight people were just right, and one more person would not be able to sit down, Zhao Weidong sat at the top, Ye Qianru sat on the left hand side, Di Lingjun sat on the right hand, Ye Qianru sat below the two Filipino maids Maria and Nakos, and under Di Lingjun sat a chef Feng Huijiao, a driver Yayiduan, and the housekeeper Yu Wenling sat at the bottom.
Yu Wenling took the initiative to walk in front of Zhao Weidong, opened Moutai, poured him a glass of wine, and then she poured a glass of wine for each person, and finally poured herself a glass, at this time Zhao Weidong stood up with the wine and said:
"Today, I am especially happy that on the occasion of Christmas, I propose that everyone toast to this wonderful holiday season."
"Okay, Cheers to Christmas!"
The seven women of them chattered, raised their wine glasses and drank them all, all the emotions were mobilized, and they took the initiative to start toasting each other, and the girls gave up their usual reserves, drank wine in large glasses, and ate delicious dishes.
Zhao Weidong drank a glass with everyone alone, and then accepted a glass of wine from everyone alone, just like that, a bottle of Moutai was drunk, and then another bottle of Moutai was opened, and after a glass of wine to Ye Qianru alone, seeing that she was no longer strong enough to drink, asked her not to drink anymore, he gave a drink, she was unhappy, she protested:
"Brother, what's the matter with you, you won't let me drink for Christmas, I still want to drink."
"Sister Qianru, you've already drunk a lot of wine, you can't drink anymore, you'll get drunk if you drink again, you know?"
"I'm not going to get drunk, I'm going to drink with you."
"Okay, let's have a drink."
"No, I'm going to drink with you."
"Sister Qianru, you are in the period of puberty now, and drinking too much alcohol will hurt your body, do you know?"
"Brother, I don't care, I want to drink."
"Sister Qianru, if you listen to your brother, will my brother drink with you?"
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you, come and let's drink."
"Then if you promise me, just drink a glass of wine, and I'll drink with you, how about it?"
"Okay, I promise, come and pour me a drink, let's toast."
Zhao Weidong picked up the wine and poured her a little wine at the bottom of the glass, picked up his wine glass, and touched Ye Qianru's glass, the two of them drank all the wine in the cup, Ye Qianru agreed to drink the drink, Zhao Weidong then put his mind at ease, otherwise it would be difficult to get drunk.
In this way, Zhao Weidong can rest assured that he will drink a few more glasses of wine with Ji Lingjun, he picked up the wine glass and said:
"Sister, I'll toast you again, thank you for sharing a lot of work for me."
"Brother, if you talk like this, you will see the outside, if I don't help you, who else can I help?"
"Okay, then let's not talk, the words are in the wine, let's have a toast!"
"Cheers!" Suzu-kun raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao Weidong and the housekeeper Yu Wenling and a few other people drank many glasses of wine, everyone was very happy, and after seeing that everyone was full of wine and food, Yu Wenling organized his four people to quickly clean up the table, and put fruits and various drinks on the table, Zhao Weidong is black tea, Ye Qianru is Coca-Cola, Ji Lingjun is Kona coffee, and others are their favorite drinks.
Zhao Weidong was drinking tea while thinking about how to arrange Christmas Eve activities, so that Christmas Eve activities can be colorful.
"We're all full of food and drink right now, but Christmas Eve has just begun, and everyone wants to play and everyone has suggestions."
Ji Lingjun looked at all the people, everyone did not pick up Zhao Weidong's topic, she knew that Ye Qianru came out of the little girl from China, the activities of domestic teenagers must be different from those in Hong Kong, most of them have no suggestions, housekeeper Yu Wenling is in her thirties, she is engaged in the profession of housekeeper, it is estimated that she will participate in fewer activities, and she may not be able to put forward any good suggestions for a while, and several other people did not express it, it seems that she has no good ideas for a while, it seems that she has to put forward a suggestion for everyone to choose, so she said:
"Brother, I have a suggestion, I think we can hold a Christmas Eve ball, our hall is a very standard dance hall, just move the sound out, what do you think?"
"Well, I think that's a good suggestion, what do you guys think?"
The others saw that Zhao Weidong agreed, and they didn't have a better idea, and they also agreed, Xiao Qianru hadn't danced yet, and she wanted to see and express her support, this activity was still more in line with Zhao Weidong's mind, after eating, it was not suitable for strenuous activities, and dancing was just right, Yu Wenling immediately called Maria and Nakos down, Zhao Weidong knew that this competent housekeeper must have taken someone to arrange the layout of the dance hall.
Everyone continued to eat fruits, drink drinks, and talk about the east and west, after a while Yu Wenling came back, she invited everyone to the hall, Zhao Weidong took the lead to leave the table, Ye Qianru immediately stepped forward and hugged Zhao Weidong's arm, and went to the hall outside, Zhao Weidong saw that the coffee table was full of fruits and snacks, and at the same time brewed tea, and the sound was also arranged.
Zhao Weidong said to Ye Qianru:
"Sister Qianru, I ask you to dance."
"Brother, I can't jump, you can jump with Sister Lingjun."
"Can't jump, I'll teach you, go. Everyone spontaneously formed pairs to dance first, and I will invite you to dance later. ”
Zhao Weidong led Ye Qianru off the dance floor, held her waist with his right hand and said:
"Qianru, you put your right hand on my shoulder, in fact, it's easy to learn to dance, it's just to walk according to the rhythm of the music, as for how to walk, you don't care, I take you to the left, you go to the left, I take you to the right, you go to the right, you know?"
"Brother, is dancing really that simple?"
"It's really that simple, you just come with me."
After speaking, Zhao Weidong took Ye Qianru to walk the simplest dance steps, the main purpose is to let her be familiar with the rhythm of the music first, only by being familiar with the rhythm of the music can she really learn to dance, Zhao Weidong takes a sequential and gradual way to guide, first master the rhythm of the music, and after she masters the rhythm of the music, she begins to guide the dance steps, add new dance steps to the basic steps, and after she is familiar, add new dance steps, I didn't expect Ye Qianru to be very talented in dancing, and she basically learned to dance in ten minutes.
The second, The Waves of the Danube, is in the form of a Viennese waltz consisting of an overture, four waltzes and an epilogue. The melody of Ivanovich's waltz is dominated by minor colors, beautiful, stretched and slightly sad with a unique personality.
The overture begins with an Allegro, then shifts to Andante on a 2/4-time tune, and ends with a melody that evolves from the main theme in minor color and 4/4 time, thus ending the overture section. The variable tempo and tempo make the whole overture full of vitality.
The first theme of the first waltz is slow and euphemistic, and its melody is like a gently swirling river or a gentle and intimate song; Immediately followed by the second theme B, each phrase is first tightened and then loosened, and the repetition of eighths of rests makes the piece full of jumps.
The second waltz is rich in color changes in major and minor keys, and is also composed of two contrasting themes. The dance atmosphere of the first theme A is relatively strong; The second theme B uses a lot of jumping intervals, but it still retains its fluidity, like a tumbling river.
The finale evolves the material of the prelude, then reproduces the theme of the third waltz and the second theme b of the first waltz, and then concludes the whole piece with the full orchestra.
This time Zhao Weidong invited Ji Lingjun to dance, it can be said that he danced with her the most times, and cooperated with the most tacit understanding, dancing under the melody of the beautiful Danube waves, giving everyone a kind of beautiful enjoyment, seeing such a beautiful dance, everyone danced more energetically.
Zhao Weidong knew that he was the male host, and he must make everyone happy today, he invited all the people to dance, and everyone was very serious about dancing, showing respect for each of them, and really making each of them feel his respect, for which everyone got along very harmoniously and harmoniously, all of them mingled, playing and joking with each other, there was no ordinary boundary at all, and the happiness in everyone's hearts was fully released.
