Chapter 31: Invite Friends and Family

On the way to the restaurant, Ye Chen also knew that the girl's name was Cui Yuanyuan, who was just eighteen years old this year, majoring in history, and decided to study abroad because she didn't want to go to a foreign country to see. www.biquge.info applied to the University of Liverpool after graduating from high school this year.

Cui Yuanyuan inherited a bit of her parents in appearance, Cui Shicheng himself has an elegant and calm momentum, and Cui Yuanyuan also has a quiet and sweet atmosphere. Sitting in the back row, a pair of big bright eyes kept looking at the scenery of Liverpool at night.

Mrs. Wesley recommended a specialty Chinese restaurant, "The owner of that restaurant is also a Chinese, and my husband and I have been there many times to eat, and it tastes exactly like it is eaten in China." ”

According to Mrs. Wesley's instructions, Ye Chen drove a group of people to the Chinese restaurant.

The Chinese restaurant on Berry Road focuses on Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, so when they arrived, they ordered a table of Sichuan cuisine.

"Mrs. Wesley, can your body handle this spiciness?" Cui Shicheng was still a little worried, after all, Mrs. Wesley was a little old.

"No problem, I often have a chili spice called 'Mom' at home."

Hearing Mrs. Wesley's description, Ye Chen and the Cui family knew that it was actually an "old godmother", and they couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Ye, uncle, I'll give you a glass first, Yuanyuan is a little introverted, I hope you can take care of her more here."

"Uncle Cui, this is how it should be, originally we Chinese are easy to be bullied after going abroad, of course we will take care of each other." Ye Chen saw Cui Shicheng raise his glass, and quickly stood up to catch the glass of wine.

It's true that Cui Yuanyuan is a little introverted and doesn't say much, but now it's more about teasing Parker, this dog really betrayed his owner as soon as he went out and threw himself into her arms.

However, this made Ye Chen's previous worries dispelled, judging from Cui Yuanyuan's performance, she also likes animals very much, and she held Parker all the way and didn't let go.

"Ye, it seems that Miss Cui likes Parker very much, you don't have to worry about it now." Mrs. Wesley also notices Cui Yuanyuan's attitude towards Parker.

"Xiaoye, is there any problem?" Hearing Mrs. Wesley's words, Cui Shicheng asked.

"Well, it's mainly Parker's problem, I don't know if the people who came here to sublet here agree with me to keep small animals in the apartment, otherwise I'll have to find another place for Parker."

"Why? Can someone else still let you let Parker? It's so cute. Cui Yuanyuan raised her head and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, the adoption of animals here in the UK is indeed strict, and even Parker is usually not allowed to bark loudly at home, which is very troublesome to affect the neighbors." Ye Chen explained.

"That's it, why is it so troublesome." Cui Yuanyuan had a hard time understanding the British rules, "However, Brother Ye, you can continue to adopt Parker, I like it too." ”

"Really, thank you."

It was hard to imagine that Mrs. Wesley could still tolerate spicy Sichuan food at such an old age, and watching the gray-haired old man take a big mouthful of chili peppers was really worrying that something would happen.

Ye Chen and the Cui family also experienced authentic Chinese food in a foreign country, and it seemed that seeing the Chinese coming, the boss specially instructed the chef to make a very authentic Sichuan dish, rather than adjusting the method according to the British taste.

"I didn't expect there to be such an authentic restaurant in the UK," Cui Shicheng walked out of the restaurant with his stomach and sat in the car.

"Well, I've only heard that there are a few Chinese restaurants in Liverpool before, but I haven't been here, so this time it's really rewarding." Ye Chen drove to Mrs. Wesley's house first.

"Uncle Cui, I want to hold a party in the apartment on the weekend, and when the time comes, I will call my eldest brother and some friends to play in the apartment, which can be regarded as welcoming Yuanyuan's arrival." Ye Chen learned that Cui Shicheng and his wife would not return to China until next week, so he discussed a weekend party with them.

"Mrs. Wesley, come if you have time."

"Yes, okay. I happen to have some legal questions that I would like to ask Mr. Ye Cong. ”

Sending Mrs. Wesley home, Ye Chen didn't go to the eldest brother's house, it was a little late, and Cui Shicheng's family needed to be taken from the hotel. There were too few bedrooms in the apartment to accommodate so many people, so Cui Shicheng booked a room at the hotel next to Leopold Road.

Mr. and Mrs. Cui are here until the weekend, and they will fly back to China next week, just in time for the weekend party that Ye Chen is planning.

In order to prepare for the party, Ye Chen asked Alina about the items that needed to be purchased in advance. As soon as he woke up on Saturday morning, Ye Chen drove his car to a nearby supermarket to shop. All kinds of drinks, food, snacks and fruits are needed for the party, and the whole supermarket has a wide range of products.

Counting the people who are coming, there are 4 people in the eldest brother's family, 3 people in Cui Shicheng's family, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Wesley, and 5 people in Will's family, plus a total of 16 people, so I need to prepare a lot of food, no matter what, I have to prepare it for 20 people.

However, there are not many adult men, and Marne is not yet allowed to drink, only two cases of beer and a few bottles of red wine are enough. There was a lot of orange juice, lemon juice and cola for the children.

"Let's have two more cases of Coke, and I'll be able to drink it in the future anyway." Ye Chen piled up many drinks in his shopping cart.

Alina has to go to the apartment to make dessert cakes in the afternoon, Ye Chen needs to prepare some flour and cream in advance, but there is no need to buy dessert.

Pushing the items of the two shopping carts, Ye Chen returned to the apartment and waited for everything to be ready to start the banquet.

"Uncle, where's Parker?" In the afternoon, the eldest brother's family arrived first, and Alina had to prepare desserts. No, as soon as Krees came in, she started looking for Parker.

I don't know if there is a psychological shadow, Parker heard the sound and ran to Ye Chen's bedroom, but it revealed its position as soon as it moved.

"Parker, so you're here." Kreese hears movement and sees that it is Parker.

"Uncle Cui, this is my eldest brother Ye Cong." Ye Chen introduced the eldest brother's family to Cui Shicheng.

Ye Cong sat on the sofa with Cui Shicheng and his wife to chat, while Ye Chen went into the kitchen to help Alina, and the fruits he bought had to be cut and stored in the refrigerator first.

"Xiao Chen, cut the beef into small pieces, and brush the sauce on the table on it." Naturally, the traditional British main course of beef is indispensable at such gatherings, and Alina brings a specially made sauce that deepens the umami and tenderness of the beef.

"Need my help?" Cui Shicheng's wife, Li Ling, walked in.

"It's okay, Aunt Li, you go and rest."

"Let them chat, I'm fine anyway, I'll cook two of our Chinese home cooking." Li Ling said as she put on an apron and walked to the vegetable sink.

With Li Ling's help, the preparation of dinner was much faster, except for the bread that needed to be baked for a long time and the beef stewed in the pot, other side dishes were basically made.

"Okay, let's let the contents of the pot heat up in it first, and then the guests will be able to come out of the pot later." Putting down the kitchen utensils in their hands, Ye Chen and the others walked out of the kitchen.

Ye Cong was still chatting with Cui Shicheng, and the two children were not in the living room, but listening to the voice should be in Cui Yuanyuan's room, it seems that she is quite popular with the children.
