Chapter 33: The Banquet
On the day of the opening of Quanpinju, there was no clouds and the sky was clear.
The new plaque is draped in red silk, hanging high on the forehead of the door, and the three big characters "Quanpinju" are eye-catching.
The firecrackers were set off for a full two quarters of an hour, which was deafening and alarmed the people in the neighborhood within a radius of five miles. Look at the lively inner and outer three floors, blocking the whole product inside and out.
Xu Qing and the master and servant stood outside the crowd, smiling at the grand scene ahead.
"Miss, if there are so many people patronizing every day, then within a few months, Miss's capital can be recovered!" Xu Yao said excitedly.
Xu Qinghe smiled: "Silly girl, you are so easy to earn money?" Today's shop has just opened, everyone is just here to join in the fun, how can there be so many people every day! ”
Xu Yao grinned and said, "Ah Yao asks the God of Wealth to bless him, so that the Xu family's shop will be full of customers every day." ”
"Uncle Xu, can you book a banquet at Dongyue Restaurant?" Xu Qinghe asked sideways.
Xu Ya, who was behind him, replied: "It has been booked yesterday, noon is approaching, Miss can go to the restaurant and wait first." ”
Xu Qinghe nodded, took another look at the lively scene of Quanpinju, turned around and walked towards Dongyue Restaurant, followed by Xu Yao and Xu Ya.
Dongyue Restaurant, diners are noisy.
As soon as the group came to the private room on the second floor, Xu Qinghe heard Lin Cheng's voice next door, and thought about whether to go forward to say hello, but he was afraid of disturbing people to talk about things. As soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, Li Bozhou's voice came from next door.
Xu Qinghe couldn't help but be surprised, when did the Lin and Li families start trading?
"A-Yao, Uncle Xu, you go in first and wait, I'll go next door to say hello." Xu Qinghe said to the two beside him, and walked towards the next door with his own steps.
The door of the private room next door was ajar, Xu Qinghe coughed lightly, and asked loudly, "Who is my brother-in-law eating in there?" ”
Li Bozhou heard the voice of his eldest cousin outside the door, smiled apologetically at Lin Cheng, and replied loudly: "Cousin will know when you come in." ”
Xu Qinghe pushed the door in, and saw that the two of them were sitting at the table, and the wine and food on the table had been used up.
"It turned out that Brother Lin was here. I don't know when my brother-in-law met Brother Lin. Xu Qinghe said with a smile.
Lin Cheng beckoned her to come over and sit down, explaining, "I have had some business dealings with the Li Mansion recently, so I got acquainted with Brother Li. The little sister didn't introduce Brother Li to me earlier, so I hate to see each other now. ”
Li Bozhou said with a smile: "I don't know that my cousin knows Brother Lin, otherwise I would have gone to Brother Lin to ask for a glass of wine." ”
Xu Qinghe couldn't cry or laugh, "In this way, it's my fault." How did I know that Meizhou City is so small, everyone looks up and doesn't look down. You two haven't even met once. ”
"It's not to blame the little sister for not recommending it, otherwise the eldest brother and I would have climbed to the high branch of the Li Mansion earlier, and I don't know how many times the business will expand!" Lin Cheng said with a smile, found a clean wine glass, poured it full of wine, and pushed it in front of Xu Qinghe, "Little sister should not drink this glass of wine quickly and apologize to me and Brother Li." ”
Li Bozhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "No wonder cousin, it's true that I studied behind closed doors all day before, and I didn't have a chance to meet Brother Lin." I should drink this glass of wine to make amends to Brother Lin. ”
Xu Qinghe was relieved, this brother-in-law knew that he was protecting his family, and Gai Ming'er praised him in front of his cousin. It's just a joke right now, and it's not worth refusing like that.
Xu Qinghe bypassed his brother-in-law's arm, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, showed the bottom of the empty glass to the two, and said with a smile: "A glass of wine can't put me down, and I don't need my brother-in-law to block the wine for me." Brother Lin still blames me now? ”
Lin Cheng laughed and said, "Little sister is refreshing! It's just a glass of wine, and Brother Li is also making a fuss! Your cousin is not drunk with a thousand cups, doesn't Brother Li know? ”
"I really haven't seen my cousin drink, because I don't know if she's a lot." Li Bozhou replied calmly.
Xu Qinghe never drinks at home, whether she goes to Su Mansion or Li Mansion, she only tastes delicious food one by one, and relatives and friends know that she loves food, but they don't know that she is not drunk with a thousand cups.
When talking about business outside, drinking is a big help. Xu Qinghe poured a cup at first, but then gritted his teeth and carried it with all his might, and slowly practiced a lot.
"Where is a thousand cups not drunk? Brother Lin, don't talk nonsense, I can just drink a glass or two! Xu Qinghe said with a smile.
Lin Cheng said: "Anyway, I've seen my little sister not get drunk for a thousand cups, that's really a big kill." ”
Li Bozhou asked in surprise: "Cousin is really so powerful?" ”
Lin Cheng smiled and briefly told Li Bozhou about the past.
Xu Qinghe himself actually can't remember, since taking over the family business, she has participated in countless banquets in the business field, some when she was drunk, some when she was sober until the last moment, and when she was half drunk and half awake.
What Lin Cheng said was probably the banquet they first met! What happened exactly, the memory is confused, I only remember that the last order was signed, the deal was completed, and I went home standing up.
Here, Lin Cheng said the old things in a frustrated manner, and Li Bozhou looked at his cousin incredulously, deeply grateful for his wedding that day, and his cousin's subordinates showed mercy.
"My cousin still has this ability, my little brother admires it!" Li Bozhou bowed his hand and bowed.
Xu Qinghe smiled heartily, sat there and bowed to his brother-in-law, and said modestly: "What kind of skill is this, how can it be worthy of my brother-in-law to worship me so seriously!" ”
All three laughed.
At this time, Xu Yao's voice came from the door, "Miss, the dishes are all ready." ”
When Xu Qinghe heard this, he got up and said to the two of them: "I invited a table of wine next door, so it won't disturb you two brothers to see each other too late." ”
Li Bozhou also got up and said, "Cousin, even if you don't get drunk with a thousand cups, let's drink less at the table!" Wine and flesh hurt the body, not unreasonable. ”
Lin Cheng arched his hand and said: "Little sister just go, if the banquet disperses before us, come here to talk again." ”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't get drunk. If you're still here when the banquet is over, I'll come. Xu Qinghe replied with a smile, and then bowed and said goodbye.
Xu Qinghe returned to the private room he had booked and saw twenty-nine plates of steaming delicacies neatly placed on the large round table.
"Why is the food served so fast today?" Xu Qinghe asked curiously.
Xu Yao, who was standing next to him, hurriedly replied, "It was booked yesterday, and Uncle Xu went to urge it twice." Presumably, the shopkeeper was embarrassed to keep us waiting. ”
Xu Qinghe nodded, sat down on the circle chair by the wall, rubbed the tip of his nose, and asked, "How long will it take for Brother Wang to arrive?" I'm afraid that the food will be cold when it's late. ”
Xu Ya replied: "I'll come in a while, I've already left Quanpinju, and I should go back to the house to pick up my family." ”
