Soon, General Daotuo invited Dalin to a banquet. It was more of a banquet than a dinner, because everyone chose a hotel by the sea and had a drink together in the spacious open space that stretched out from the hotel courtyard to the beach.

This kind of meal will be casual and informal, and the guests and hosts can let go and feel relaxed. Dalin took Manti to the meeting early. A light car simple outfit, a thin shirt sandals.

"General, we're late, it's rude to lose."

As soon as he got out of the car, Da Lin walked over in small steps, and before he could reach in front of Dao Tuo, he had already stretched out his hand to shake hands with his master. That enthusiasm jumped up and down like a coconut tree on the beach. Manti also followed, and the sandals under her feet were very crisp and beautiful.

"You're here!"

Dao Tuo saw the two of them from afar, and hurriedly stood up to greet them, shaking hands with Da Lin, affectionately like old friends who had been reunited after a long absence.

"The general has been waiting for a long time, I'll punish myself with a glass first, hahahaha."

Da Lin laughed to himself, Dao Tuo had already let go of his hand, turned to Manti who was standing next to Da Lin and opened a big hug, and said with a lewd smile:

"Mrs. Lin, you're welcome!"

Manti stood there, motionless, glanced at Da Lin, stretched out his hand, and replied:

"Thank you, General, shake hands!"

Dao Tuo was stunned for a moment, the eagle spread its wings and was about to pounce on the chick, not wanting the chick to lift a foot to push himself down. The kick was thrust into his chest. Dao Tuo felt that his heart was blocked for a while, and he really couldn't get off the stage.

"Okay, okay, shake hands."

Dao Tuo still compromised and shook the beautiful jade hand, very unwilling.

"This old pervert!"

Manti cursed in his heart, and after Daotuo turned his back and led the way for the two of them, he gave him a blank look. He twisted Dalin's arm slightly, as if to tell him that he was dissatisfied. Dalin patted the back of Manti's hand and walked between Daotuo and Manti to separate them, staring at Daotuo vigilantly, afraid that he would make any more excessive demands.

This journey took three people, three paces, and three thoughts. I don't know what will happen next.

"Miss, please be seated."

Dowta led them to a table, and the waiter pulled out a chair and invited Manti to take a seat. Dalin sat down next to Manti. Dauda instructed the waiter to entertain them and himself to receive other guests.

For a while, all the guests came. At first glance, there were about 20 people around the large round table, seated in the order of men, women, men and women. There are other men sitting next to his wife, and another woman sitting next to his husband. Everyone is a little uncomfortable with such a seating arrangement, but the owner, General Daotuo, has to arrange it in this order.

Everyone has arrived, and the dishes are also put on the table one by one, all of which are some Nanyang specialties, which are quite attractive in appearance, not as subtle and euphemistic as Shanghai cuisine, and Nanyang cuisine likes to be decorated with a variety of bright and bright colors. Red peppers! Green peppers! Yellow peppers! Black peppers! Chop them all into small pieces and sprinkle them on the food to whet people's appetite.

This dish is charcoal-grilled suckling pig. A small and cute suckling pig has been roasted on coals to a browned brown, the skin is so crisp that you can hear the sound of breaking when the wind blows, and the taste must be quite good. The little suckling pig was fat, its belly had been cut open and hollowed out, and it was full of anise, pepper, shallots, bay leaves, and lemongrass. The aroma of meat mixed with spices pierces the nostrils. The waiter spreads foie gras to each guest and serves it as a dipping sauce. It was the first time that Manti had seen this way of eating, and he was waiting for Daotuo to cut the pork.

This second dish is coconut snails. Fresh snails are simmered in coconut milk and vegetables, and the milky aroma is mixed with the snail's fragrance, the aroma is rich and sweet, and the taste is quite dense and long. The first dish Dalin tasted was this coconut snail.

This third course is oxtail soup. This delicious sauce of oxtail stew is made from crushed fried rice and crushed peanuts. Banana blossoms, eggplant and green beans, along with some other more interesting vegetable dishes, are carefully crafted to create this one-of-a-kind dish. According to the waiter, this dish will be even more delicious with shrimp paste. This is General Daotuo's favorite.

Next, various dishes such as fried frogs, fish sauce and vegetables, coconut milk tilapia, bicol stir-fry, shredded coconut rice cake, and chocolate porridge were served in turn. These dishes are all Nanyang-style and are made by some of the best local chefs. Color, fragrance and taste.

Everyone raised their glasses and greeted each other. Dao Tu invited everyone to taste the dishes. Dalin ate a coconut snail, squinted his eyes and smiled, and gave one to Manti and asked her to taste the dish first. Manti also tasted it, and he was full of praise.

"Come, Chengshan, you taste this."

As he spoke, Manti took a slice of pork and sent it to Dalin's mouth, and asked him, "Is it delicious?" Dalin nodded and smiled, gave Dao Tuo a thumbs up, and praised the dishes of this hotel that Dao Tuo chose were really delicious. Dao Tuo smiled and returned a glass of wine to Dalin.

"General, the food in your land is really good."

"Hehe, eat more, eat more, I respect the friendship of the landlord!"

Dao Tuo motioned for the waiter to pick up some tilapia grilled in coconut milk for the Dalin couple to taste. Dalin said with a smile:

"There are no Nanyang restaurants in Shanghai, so you must come to Nanyang to eat such delicious dishes!"

"If you go back and open a Nanyang specialty restaurant, business won't be bad!"

Dao Tuo's words were full of pride.

The two exchanged another glass of wine. After a few rounds of wine glasses, the feelings of the whole table slowly warmed up in the staggering. The gentleman next to him unconsciously forgot the lady on the side, and unconsciously fell to someone else's wife on the other side. A middle-aged man sitting next to Manti had already drunk and blushed to the base of his neck.

"Drink again!"

He held the wine glass softly and poured it towards Manti, and with the strength of the wine, he slanted a pair of misty drunken eyes, stared directly at Manti's snow-white chest, and then looked into her eyes to persuade him to drink.

Manti slapped him on the head with a small fan in disgust. The man grinned and fell headlong at his wife. His wife was startled, shook her shoulders, and shook him to the table. He made eye contact with the handsome gentleman opposite, and pulled his foot out of his high heels to tease him, and accidentally touched Manti.

"Huh? What's under the table? ”

Manti felt a fluffy touch on his legs, and immediately ran away, thinking that it was some kind of small animal such as a puppy or kitten, so he lifted the tablecloth and looked down. I can't help but laugh out loud when I see it.

It turned out that there was already a hook-up under the table. The man's legs and the woman's legs are intertwined, and it is impossible to distinguish who is the gentleman and who is the wife. Some people can't have two legs, hooking up with one on one side, and they're not afraid of splitting.

"That's interesting."

Manti took a sip of wine and snickered. Dalin looked at her strangely and asked her what she had found. Manti whispered to Da Lin, pointing to the table and laughing.

Looking at the people at this table, they are exchanging ideas and opinions in their hands, but they are conveying affection and righteousness under their feet. What was on the table could be seen, and everyone pretended to be serious, not daring to say a word, they all hid themselves unfathomably, and their feet betrayed themselves. To see who looks good, first have a glass of wine with him or her, then secretly test it, and if there is no refusal, continue until both legs are entwined.

"I'm bored to death."

Manti sighed, she had long been numb to this phenomenon, and even disgusted. When I was in a kiln in the northeast, when I went out to eat by myself, those people did the same. Thinking that others can't see it, who can't see it, it's just deceiving themselves.

"Uncomfortable?"

Dalin asked Manti thoughtfully. Mandy turned his head and said to him:

"Let's get out of here as soon as we're done drinking, and if there's anything important, I'll talk to Dao Tuo alone."

Dalin nodded obediently, handed a towel to Manti, asked her to wipe her mouth, and the two of them left.

Finishing off was a few sweet desserts with syrupy bean curd, hot chocolate and crème brûlée. Manti lost his appetite after one look. She was disgusted with the red men and green women in front of her, and just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

The two were about to say goodbye. Manti looked up and saw that Dowto beckoned a pair of sisters to come over and sing a tune, and asked the hotel to open a few more bottles of wine. Manti knew that she couldn't go, so she had to accompany her to finish this lap before she could go, it was so annoying!

"Little sister, can you sing me a tune?"

Dao Tuo had already drunk a big red face, his big nose was like a big strawberry, and the grease on it popped out one by one, disgusting, and he shamelessly went to pull the hand of the little girl. Manti looked disgusted.

"Old pervert, old drunkard, it's really anything."

Manti angrily scolded Dao Tuo in his heart. She wanted to get angry just now, but because of Dalin's face, she didn't want to do that, and now she saw that Dao Tuo was bullying other little girls, and she was very angry.

Dowdor didn't even notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him fiercely, warning him not to mess around. The little woman had no choice, so she finally broke free from Daotuo's embrace, so she went to play the piano and sang a tune, and she didn't dare to approach Daotuo again.

Her companion came to ask Dota for payment. Dao Tuo pulled the girl over and hugged her in his lap, trying to make her drink. The girl struggled to the death. The more Dao Tuo hugged him, the tighter he became. At this time, the wine glass was caught by the other hand, it was Manti. She glared angrily at Dao Tuo, snatched the wine glass, and poured all the wine on Dao Tuo's face.

scolded in his mouth:

"She's younger than your daughter, she's shameless, she doesn't look at yourself, she's about to sleep in a coffin."

The scene suddenly fell into embarrassment.

The host was slapped by the guests, and he was said such ugly things in public, no one can stand this, besides, this person is still General Daotuo, a general with a head and status in Nanyang.

Dao Tuo's face was like the roast suckling pig on the table, so red that it couldn't be more red. Dalin's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Manti had a blue face, she pulled up the girl who was hugged by Daotuo, this poor girl was like a frightened deer, Ren Manti helped her fix her hair, and saw Manti stuff a wad of money into her hand, and quickly ran away.

"Let's go!"

Manti took care of himself and picked up Dalin. Dalin looked stunned, he didn't know what to do, and was pulled up by Manti and left.

"This woman ......"

Dao Tuo looked at Manti's back and twisted away, touched his face that was beaten and hurt, and remembered this woman deeply.
