Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Toast
Hao Desheng immediately beckoned to the waiter and informed the waiter to serve the food immediately.
In the private room, a waitress who was in charge of setting the table and pouring wine for the guests came to Hao Desheng and asked respectfully:
"Hello, Director Hao, are there five guests today?"
"Yes, there are five of them. Let's serve. β
Hao Desheng nodded in confirmation.
So, the waiter immediately rearranged the table, removed the excess tableware from the table, and arranged the tableware very precisely according to the seats of the five guests.
Another waitress at the door, with light steps, entered the food delivery room, and reported to the restaurant foreman on the miniature walkie-talkie hanging on her chest:
"Foreman Chen, serve on A08!"
"Mayor Wang, Mrs. Sister-in-law, Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, please take a seat, right?"
After Hao Desheng watched the waiter rearrange the table, he invited the four in-laws to the table.
Just now, as for the reason why Mengdu and Liping did not come to the dinner, Hao Desheng's report to Vice Mayor Wang was completely true.
Before arranging today's dinner, Hao Desheng did ask Mengdu for his opinion, asking him if he and Liping would attend the dinner of their parents tonight.
Mengdu couldn't make up his mind, so he deliberately went to ask Liping's opinion.
When Liping heard that she was going to meet her parents in Mengdu, she immediately shook her head like a rattle:
"If you don't go, you don't go, you have to go yourself!"
To be honest, since that night, in a state of "drunk out of control", Liping was robbed of her virginity by Mengdu, her heart is so regretful and painful!
She deeply regretted herself, regretted how she had been lost that night, how could she agree to go to Mengdu's house?
Moreover, when you arrive at Mengdu's house, why do you drink so much beer?
How did you come up with such an afterword?
What does it mean to lie in bed and visit Beijing - Dream Capital"? Isn't that three hundred taels of silver here, and you yourself are telling everyone unmistakably that you have a dream in your heart?
What Liping regrets the most is that that night, when she sat on the sofa, why did she fall asleep?
Moreover, as soon as he fell asleep, he was like a dead pig, and in a state of confusion, he let Yume take possession of his body!
Raw rice is cooked rice!
Now, my father and mother unanimously asked me to marry Mengdu as soon as possible, and I was going to get married on National Day, saying that Director Hao had discussed it with the two adults and couldn't change it!
Alasββ, there is no way, the matter has come to this point, so you can only resign yourself to fate!
Liping knows that if she wants to continue to oppose marriage with her own will and ability, it will definitely not be effective. And, more importantly, there will definitely be no good results!
If you don't agree to get married on National Day, first of all, just with your father, he won't give up, and it's no wonder if he doesn't scold you for being bloody!
And, and that's not all!
The most terrible thing is that after the dream took away his first night, from that night to now, forty days have passed, it is said that his monthly "period" time has long passed, but the "big aunt" has not come!
Could it be, could it be that after that night, I already had a "crystallization of non-love" in my stomach?!
If you really have it in your belly, and you still insist on opposing marriage, what will you do with the "crystallization of non-love" in your stomach?
In desperation, Liping could only let her parents arrange:
Get married on National Day, get married on National Day!
Anyway, Mengdu has already taken possession of himself, and when he will marry him is just a matter of time or time.
Therefore, when her parents clearly told Liping that Mengdu's parents also agreed to hold a wedding for her and Mengdu on National Day, Liping neither objected nor expressed her position, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
In this mentality, you asked her to attend the "in-laws meeting dinner" of both parents, why was Liping embarrassed to show up?
Besides, if Liping is really allowed to attend the dinner party, at the dinner table, what should Liping call Mengdu's parents?
How should Liping speak to Mengdu's parents?
Liping asked Mengdu these questions, and Mengdu was speechless when she asked them, so she could only nod her head, and even Qua Liping was thoughtful.
Liping did not participate in the "in-laws meeting dinner" between Zhang and Wang's families, and Mengdu naturally did not participate.
Having said that, after the five guests in the private room were seated, after a while, the waiter in charge of serving the dishes came from the window to serve the dishes arranged by Hao Desheng one by one.
Don't say it, the dishes arranged by Hao Desheng are very rich:
There are "Mao's braised pork", spicy chicken, chopped pepper fish head, etc., which are particularly popular with Hunan people, as well as grouper, steamed prawns, mustard jasmine raw Australian lobster, abalone, etc., as well as steamed hairy crabs, papaya shark fins, stir-fried mutton slices, wild mushroom soup, as well as garlic vegetables, stir-fried spinach, stir-fried broccoli and so on.
"Oh, Director Hao, there are only five of us, why do we order so many dishes?"
Zhang Xueru's wife had never seen this kind of battle, she saw that there were only five people eating at the table, but Hao Desheng ordered so many dishes, so she blurted out in surprise.
Zhang Xueru was annoyed when he heard this, and immediately widened his eyes at his wife.
He wanted to reprimand his wife fiercely, but in front of the Wang couple and Hao Desheng, it was inconvenient to open his mouth, so he had to angrily dig at his wife and his wife.
After listening to Zhang's wife's words, Vice Mayor Wang seemed to be a little unable to get off the stage, his face changed slightly, and he was about to say something, but he didn't expect Hao Desheng to speak first:
"Oh, old sister-in-law, there are some dishes here, and I didn't order them. Today, two new chefs came to the kitchen of the hotel. There are a few dishes that the new chef gave to the guests to try. β
Hao Desheng very skillfully resolved the embarrassment caused by Mrs. Zhang.
"Oh, yes, yes, when the hotel changes the chef, let the guests try the dishes for free, and I have also encountered it."
Zhang Xueru's reaction was also very shrewd, and he continued Hao Desheng's words:
"In the past, when I ate at other hotels, I also encountered the problem of changing chefs. The rules in the industry, on the first day of the new chef's arrival, he must give his own specialty dishes to the guests! β
"Yes, that's true. Come, waiter, to the guest to the bar. β
Hao Desheng and Zhang Xueru glanced at each other knowingly, and then ordered the waiter to serve the wine.
The waiter who was in charge of setting the table and pouring the wine immediately poured the already opened "Moutai" wine and another bottle of imported red wine into two small glass wine jugs.
Then, the waiter held two small wine jugs on a tray and began to pour the wine from Vice Mayor Wang at the guest of honor.
The waiter silently walked to the right side of Vice Mayor Wang and asked sweetly:
"May I ask the leader, pour you white wine or red wine?"
"Let's get some wine."
Vice Mayor Wang nodded graciously and replied.
After pouring Vice Mayor Wang's wine glass, the waiter then came to Zhang Xueru's side:
"Leader, do you pour white wine or red wine?"
"Come to the wine bar."
Looking at the example, Zhang Xueru also imitated Vice Mayor Wang's style and nodded to the waiter.
"No, no, waiter, please pour him liquor, Master Zhang, I know, you have always drunk liquor. Come, waiter, please pour him liquor! β
Hao Desheng, who was sitting diagonally opposite Zhang Xueru, heard Zhang Xueru say red wine, and hurriedly informed the waiter to pour white wine for him.
"That's right, Lao Zhang, if you like to drink white wine, you shouldn't drink red wine. As for me, I haven't drunk white wine for many years, so I drink red wine. Don't be like me. β
Vice Mayor Wang also persuaded very graciously.
"Hey, father-in-law, you're welcome! We are a family, since you love to drink liquor, let's drink liquor today! I've heard people say that people who love white wine don't like red wine! Because red wine has no degree. β
The fat mayor's wife also affectionately persuaded Zhang Xueru.
"Ah, okay, okay, let's go to the white bar. Sorry ha! β
Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhang Xueru asked the waiter to pour the liquor.
Then, the waiter poured red wine for the mayor's wife.
When the waiter walked up to Zhang Xueru's wife, Mrs. Zhang was at a loss to cover her wine glass with her hand, and said with some panic:
"Iβno, drink."
"Yes, my wife doesn't drink."
Zhang Xueru knew that his wife had never drunk alcohol, so he hurriedly blocked the wine for his wife.
"Oh, since the old sister-in-law doesn't drink, let's serve the juice. Waiter, serve freshly squeezed juice to this aunt. β
Hao Desheng immediately gave instructions to the waiter.
In fact, when Hao Desheng arranged today's dinner, he had already prepared juice.
The waiter smiled and nodded:
"Okay, I'll change the juice in a moment; Director Hao, I'll pour you a bar first. β
"No, no! You're going to pour juice for this aunt first! She's one of the guests of honor tonight! β
Director Hao immediately stopped the waiter and asked her to go to serve juice for Zhang Xueru's wife first.
The waiter immediately turned around and went to the bar to change the juice, and after coming back to pour the juice for Zhang Xueru's wife, he walked up to Director Hao again and asked softly:
"Director Hao, will you pour red wine?"
"Oh, pour me white today."
Hao Desheng commanded the waiter, and then said to Zhang Xueru:
"Master Zhang, you see, the waiters all know that I usually drink red wine. However, today is the in-laws dinner between you and Mayor Wang, so I will make an exception to drink liquor with you! Zhang Shifu, tonight, you want to drink more! β
"Ah, thank you so much for Director Hao's kindness. Tonight, I'm going to drink more. Thank you, Director Hao! β
Zhang Xueru hurriedly got up to express his gratitude.
"Mayor Wang, the drinks are all poured, can you please 'cut the ribbon'?"
After Hao Desheng saw that all the guests at the table had filled up their drinks, he stood up respectfully and respectfully invited Vice Mayor Wang to open the table.
"Okay, please raise a glass together, Lao Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang, today is a great day for our two parents' families to meet, and it is also the first dinner party for our two parents' families."
Vice Mayor Wang stood up, took the lead in holding a wine glass and said:
"Come, for the happiness and good health of all of us, and for the sake of our children's wishes and marriages, cheers!"
"Okay, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
All five people at the table raised their glasses and toasted the red wine, white wine and drinks in their glasses with high spirits.
The waiter immediately poured wine and added drinks to each guest in order of priority.
"Come, eat vegetables, everyone please eat vegetables!"
After the mayor's wife sat down, she began to persuade everyone to move chopsticks as if she were the hostess.
After eating for a while, Zhang Xueru couldn't sit still.
He really didn't expect that his father-in-law, Vice Mayor Wang, would be so approachable and easy to deal with!
The mayor's wife, that is, her own mother-in-law, is so kind and kind!
That's great!!
It seems that in the future, there is no need to be trembling and respectful when dealing with in-laws!
Thinking of the happy place, Zhang Xueru immediately stood up, held the wine glass in both hands, and beckoned to his wife and said:
"Come, Ping'er and her mother, we two old people, a cup of toast to my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Zhang's wife stood up obediently, and followed Zhang Xueru's example, holding her drink cup with both hands.
"Mayor Wang, oh, father-in-law, mother-in-law, please allow us to toast you two together! We wish the in-laws a smooth career, a straight rise to the top, and a proud officialdom! I wish my mother-in-law a permanent youth, good health, and all the best! Cheers! Oh no, leadership at will, cheers to me! β
Zhang Xueru said a lot of toasts, then tilted his head and dried his wine glass.
"Listen to you, my father-in-law, I've told you several times, we are now a family, why do you say, 'The leader is free to toast to me'? I'm going to be punished for drinking! β
The mayor's wife jokingly reminded Zhang Xueru, and after that, she also killed half a glass of red wine.
"Yes, Lao Zhang, since you are already a family member, at home, don't say 'leader' anymore, ah! Very good, today is our first dinner, since it's the first time, I'll make an exception, come on, cheers! β
After Vice Mayor Wang finished speaking, he raised his wine glass, took a sip, and dried the red wine in the glass.
"Oh, Mayor Wang, you're so happy today! Zhang Shifu, you don't know, Mayor Wang usually never toasts. Mayor Wang, you're going to overdose today. Come, miss, please add a little less to the leader. β
Hao Desheng was happy to watch his parents' house drinking happily, and he was very happy in his heart.
While explaining to Zhang Xueru that Vice Mayor Wang was making an exception for drinking today, he also made a special explanation to the waiter.
"Okay, thank you for your father-in-law and mother-in-law! Come on, Miss, please fill me up again, I want to toast Director Hao! β
After Zhang Xueru drank two glasses of wine, his mood obviously came up.
After the waiter filled Zhang Xueru with wine, Zhang Xueru really picked up the wine glass again, beckoned to his wife and said:
"Come, let's toast Director Hao together for the old man under the moon of Mengdu and Liping!"
So, Zhang's wife mechanically picked up the juice again and stood up with Zhang Xueru.
"Director Hao, we can climb Mayor Wang and Mrs. Wang as in-laws, thanks to your matchmaking! Come, let's both toast you! And I wish the official luck to be prosperous and rise step by step! β
Zhang Xueru held the wine glass in both hands, and was very devout to clink glasses with Hao Desheng.
"Oh, Zhang Shifu, don't dare, don't dare, I really don't dare to be! Your second elder and Mayor Wang and his wife have become in-laws, that is your fate, it is the fate and blessing of Mengdu and Liping! β
Hao Desheng also quickly stood up and raised his wine glass with both hands.
Zhang Xueru drank so hard that he drained his wine glass as soon as he raised his head.
After drinking, he deliberately turned the bottom of the wine glass upside down and said loudly to Hao Desheng:
"Director Hao, you see, I did it wholeheartedly."
After that, Zhang Xueru deliberately glanced at his wife; Mrs. Zhang understood, and quickly drank the juice in the cup.
"Okay, today, I'm sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, do it!"
After Hao Desheng finished speaking, he also raised his head and drained the wine in the cup.
Then, Hao Desheng naturally did not let go of today's opportunity, he beckoned to the waiter and said:
"Come, waiter, fill me up, I will first toast Mayor Wang, Mrs. Sister-in-law, Master Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang, and congratulate your in-laws on the festive dinner! In this way, Mayor Wang is the leader, Master Zhang is older than me, and the two sisters-in-law are also the wives of my leaders and brothers, I have all dried this glass of wine, please feel free! β
Before Hao Desheng could speak, the waiter had already filled his wine glass, and successively filled the glasses for the other four guests at the table.
Hao Desheng picked up the wine glass, paid tribute to the four in-laws, and then raised his head and dried his cup with a "grunt".
"Okay, Director Hao is really temperamental, come, I'll accompany you!"
Zhang Xueru is usually good at drinking, but today he met a drinking partner, his interest was even higher, and as soon as the words fell, the wine glass in his hand had already dried up.
