Chapter 65: Side-knocking
The auction ended, but the crowd did not disperse. www.biquge.info Except for a few people who said goodbye first, the rest are still on this lawn.
In the center of the room are seventeen round tables, each with six chairs next to it.
On one side of the venue are nine long tables. Next to one of them stood a man who respectfully served rice to those who came and went with plates, or took out a small bowl that had already been prepared to serve soup to the guests.
There are also eight other tables, each with twelve plates on it, which contain the same dish, and several pairs of chopsticks placed on chopstick pillows next to them for people to take their own meals; The dishes on the table are different from those on the table, so there are a total of eight dishes on the scene.
Yes, this is a buffet organized by Xiao Jing.
The Celestial Empire has a tradition of talking at the dinner table. It's rare to almost gather the wealthy businessmen in the capital, and if you don't give everyone a chance to contact your feelings after finishing the event, won't it be in vain?
At first, everyone watched a group of people set up a table and work, and their eyes widened for no apparent reason; After Xiao Jing explained the rules of the buffet, everyone suddenly realized, and praised Xiao Jing one after another, without hesitating praise at all.
There was an endless stream of people who came to talk to Xiao Jing. Until now, he had not been able to spare his hands to do anything else.
"Xiao Gongzi is really a young talent." A middle-aged man who was short but very sturdy looked at Xiao Jing and couldn't help but admire: "At the time of the auction, the son showed his elegance, and the doubts in everyone's hearts were wiped away when he talked and laughed, and he facilitated a lot of transactions, which is very rare." ”
He looked back at the merchants sitting at the table in groups of three or five eating and talking, and said, "After the auction, there will be a buffet." Seeing this scene, Jian understood Xiao Gongzi's painstaking intentions and far-reaching intentions. The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible! ”
"Jane has an overreputation." Xiao Jing smiled and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it really can't be called a whimsy." ”
Jian Yuanwai shook his head and said, "You can't say that." Even if you don't mention today's events and only talk about the mirror newspaper, who can make the newspaper as childe? Hehe, both Neiko and the little girl love to read the mirror newspaper, and every time it is released, Jian has to find someone to rush to buy a copy and go back......"
While they were talking, another merchant walked up to the two of them, as if they had something to say; Jian Yuanwai exchanged glances with him, then confessed to Xiao Jing, and walked away with the man.
Pan Feiyu, who had been waiting beside him, could be regarded as having seized the opportunity. He hurriedly came to Xiao Jing's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, I am fortunate not to disgrace my life, and I have finally done the matter." ”
Xiao Jing looked at the sweat stains on his face that hadn't dried up yet, and said, "It's hard work Xiao Pan." You're the most tired person today, so let's go get something to eat, right? ”
Pan Feiyu touched his head and said, "No, I'll go back and sort out the manuscript." When the buffet is over, Brother Xiao will call me, and I will come back to help clean up. ”
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, and Xiao Jing, who has always been strict with all kinds of work, couldn't help but nod lightly after he left.
Pan Feiyu, who was in charge of organizing the buffet, was definitely the busiest person in the newspaper today.
So many tables, chairs, and tableware have to be borrowed from nearby homes or restaurants. Handling also needs manpower, it is he who contacts everywhere and dispatches in the center, so that all the relevant things are prepared on time, and then the helpers are organized to move to the site and handed over to Dong Xiaoya to arrange and arrange.
Don't underestimate these eight dishes, they can come from four restaurants. Xiao Jing, who had explored the way early in the morning, chose two signature dishes from each of these four restaurants, and then Pan Feiyu hired two carts with a large number of food boxes to distribute them everywhere, and transported these delicacies back smoothly before the meal began.
It's really not easy to be ahead of your time in this era.
For this, Xiao Jing asked Shao Ning to borrow two hundred taels of silver, and Shao Ning gave the money happily without saying a word. This kid also knew that the newspaper would have to make another profit after the auction, so he didn't worry about others not paying back the money at all.
Judging from today's scene, the whole event is quite good. The businessmen consciously sat at different tables according to their intimacy, some chatting and laughing, and some taking the opportunity to talk about business; After getting up and getting the food, they also have the opportunity to change the table, go and meet other acquaintances for a while, or get close to people who are not so familiar with each other, and connect with each other.
With the flow of funds, this kind of big scene can be carried out...... Therefore, to be rich is to be capricious.
He was sighing with emotion, and Jian Yuanwai walked back and said with a smile: "Isn't Xiao Gongzi going to eat something?" ”
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly: "I still have to take care of it in the future, so I won't go first." ”
The other party was very interested in talking, and Xiao Jing had no choice but to accompany him. The two chatted for a while, and Jian Yuan suddenly said, "I don't know if Xiao Gongzi has ever been married?" ”
Xiao Jing's heart chuckled.
When chatting, Jian Yuanwai mentioned his daughter twice. Now I ask about marriage again, should it be......
Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "I haven't married yet." It's just that the affairs of the newspaper are very troublesome, and Xiao really has no time to take care of this matter, so he can only talk about it in a few years. ”
Jian Yuanwai laughed and was about to speak, when another person came to talk to him; In desperation, he had no choice but to step aside with the man.
Xiao Jing let out a long sigh.
When asked about love life by someone who doesn't know you very well, everyone will be a little embarrassed. However, in this day and age, this is not uncommonplace.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone asks, it's actually nothing. Men should get married, women should get married, and there are more parents in the world who are willing to call the shots for their children, and there are not many other than him.
I'm afraid, on the surface, I want to talk about peace and family affairs, but what I want to do in my heart is a combination of interests. In the history of mankind, there has never been a shortage of people who use their children as bargaining chips; As a traverser, Xiao Jing doesn't want his love life to be affected by any interest factors.
That long-lost shadow appeared in Xiao Jing's mind again.
I don't know how she's doing now? Has she read all the newspapers I sent?
Xiao Jing's face was a little gloomy. In order to adjust his mood, he looked at the dining area again, and the very lively scene could give him a little comfort.
According to Xiao Jing's original idea, he wanted to get eight food bowls and put them on the table, and then pour the twelve dishes on each table into it; Later, after careful consideration, this method was also inadequate. After all, those who come are all exquisite, and even if they are poured into the same dish, it will give people a feeling of miscellaneous dishes, which must be very unappetizing for them.
The idea of complete self-help was also rejected by him. These big men usually have people to serve them when they eat, and if they come to serve the rice and scoop the soup themselves, if any of them is a little ugly, the gain will outweigh the loss.
It's pretty good to be able to do this under the existing conditions, right?
"Why is Xiao Gongzi in a daze?" Suddenly, a voice behind him said urgently: "Didn't someone come to the side and knock on the side to say kiss, which made Gongzi's heart sprout?" ”
