44. Know people at the dinner table

The head of the office brought two subordinates to a large round table, followed by five or six small servants who came over with food and set it up, and the head beckoned everyone to sit down.

"In the future, when you are on duty, you will eat with the master, and when you are not on duty, you will be in this courtyard, and the people will prepare the meals for you, and the housekeeper will specially tell you not to treat you badly on the meals. At the beginning of today, I prepared a little thin wine for everyone, drank a little less, and rested, so as not to delay the change of shift in the evening. ”

Everyone was humble, and then they sat down one after another.

Brother Lian glanced at the dishes on the table, and sure enough, he was a local tyrant with a big business, and for the silver spent on this table, an ordinary family of five had to eat for half a year.

These buddies who practice martial arts are all strong men, who usually eat twice as much as ordinary people, and now they have free meals to eat, and they are all gearing up and ready to feast.

Brother Lian pulled Ye Ling Mountain to sit down, Hou Jie came over and sat on the other side of Ye Ling Mountain, and the sleeping god Lin Tai saw Hou Jie sitting there again, and sat next to Brother Lian with a cold snort.

Brother Lian doesn't care about how to sit, what she cares about is the appearance of these people, and a person's family background, personality, character, and upbringing can be best seen from the dinner table.

On the other side, Meng Dayu sat down and didn't wait for the master to finish his kind words, so he quietly took a large piece of meat and stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it, puffing out his cheeks.

Although some people have a bad family background since childhood, they have strict requirements from their parents, and they are very thoughtful in dealing with people and things, and being a person and doing things.

Sitting next to Meng Dayu, the big man with vegetable soup and soup dripping all the way, grinning when eating, the rice grains fell everywhere, this person does things roughly, informal, no matter the occasion, it is difficult to become a big tool.

Another person rummages through the dishes and picks them up, and picks up what he likes to eat, completely ignoring whether others want to eat it, this person must be selfish, has poor popularity, and is difficult to cooperate.

Wang Shizhu, who sat next to the god of sleep, was very steady, silent, focused on eating, did not stick to a drop of wine, mixed vegetables and meat and vegetables, and ate more greasy meat, but the expression was not because he liked it, but because the meat protein was not easy to digest, and he was full for a long time. This person has strong self-control, is emotionally stable, does not see taste preferences, and must have spent time in a harsh environment.

The god of sleep does not look like a god of sleep at all, and from the moment he picks up the chopsticks, he is like a hunter who has caught prey, and his eyes cannot hide his excitement. The chopsticks are out quickly, the chewing is also fast, and the two large bowls of rice are eaten quickly.

Looking at Hou Jie's meal again, he was neither fast nor slow, he ate a few things selectively, and he didn't touch anything that was too greasy at all, and was only interested in the two vegetarian dishes in front of him, steamed sea bass and stir-fried beef with ginger shreds, and his eating hobbies were similar to Ye Yanshan's.

Ye Lingshan was as slow as ever, chewing and swallowing slowly, Brother Lian had long been accustomed to Ye Lingshan's eating appearance before, and he had never thought about it seriously, but when he analyzed everyone today, he suddenly found that he was so elegant.

Never pick up the dishes from a distance, no matter how much you want to eat. When picking up vegetables, only pinch a small amount at a time, do not turn over or copy in the plate, close your mouth and chew silently.

The first time I saw him eat was eating jujube cake in a carriage, and at that time he shared his own share because he ate slowly.

Brother Lian saw a plate of elbows in front of him, greasy and greasy to be pulled extremely ugly, but no one cared about a plate of tofu in the distance, she knew that Ye Yanshan liked to eat tofu, and was about to change it, Hou Jie had already stood up and changed the position of the plate of tofu and elbows.

In exchange, Hou Jie first sandwiched a piece to eat, but it didn't seem to be appetizing, so he stopped stretching out his chopsticks.

Ye Yanshan tasted it very happily, she also tasted it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and fragrant, delicious.

Brother Lian couldn't help but praise the steward: "Where did you invite the chef, this cooking skill is really a must." ”

The steward smiled: "The chef is a person who grew up in the house, but he once studied with a master who studied for several years, and that master later entered the palace as an imperial chef,"

"Oh, he's also the apprentice of the Imperial Chef. ”

"Yes, I heard that the imperial chef's surname is Liu, and he is specially designed for the current emperor. ”

When everyone heard this, they became more and more excited, and they ate more happily, although they were the apprentices of the imperial chef, but they were also the same craftsmen, isn't this the same dish as the emperor in disguise?

Brother Lian deliberately ate rudely, ate several pieces of tofu, and really felt that the more she ate, the more delicious it became, and she couldn't stop it, she asked Hou Jie: "It's so delicious, why don't you eat it?"

Hou Jie glanced at her and spit out two words: "On fire." ”

Brother Lian couldn't help but snort, what kind of fire is it on the tofu to eat?, "Then you still change the tofu?"

Hou Jie said: "Clean. ”

Well, Brother Lian was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, he was a tall and big rough man, and he didn't think his elbows were clean.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. At night, Brother Lian's team had to take over the shift, and he was on the night shift when he first came, and he was on the night shift all night, Brother Lian lay on the bed and sighed, "Life is not easy!"

Ye Yanshan glanced at her silently and said, "Of course it's not easy. ”

Brother Lian looked at the roof for a while, and said, "These twenty bodyguards, the first ten are all from the Cheng Qi Martial Arts Pavilion, they are familiar with each other, and there should be no one who has the right to deal with each other." ”

Ye Yanshan said: "If that's the case, it's among the ten of us. ”

"Yes, I'm temporarily locked on Hou Jie and Wang Shizhu. ”

"Why?"

"These two have a different attitude towards food than others. ”

Ye Yanshan wondered, "Do you still have an attitude towards food?"

"Of course, it's at the dinner table that you can see a person most clearly. The two of them did not have a strong desire for food, which showed that they were from a good background, and the environment they lived in must be in a state of worry-free food and clothing. If you want to be able to trust anyone, how can you be short of money. Both of them had great self-control, and must have been trained very strictly in places where management was very strict. I can already see that Hou Jie's kung fu is high, but Wang Shizhu is a little hidden, and his easy-going personality does not match the background I deduced. ”

"What does that mean?"

"It shows that he is acting, and he wants to make people think that he is an easy-going person who does not pose any threat. ”

"But actually?"

"He's actually a hunter in hiding, and he certainly doesn't look like him. ”

Ye Yanshan said: "Oh, then you usually have to be careful with him." ”

Brother Lian said: "Yes, don't underestimate him. But there is another person I think is more guarded. ”

"Hou Jie?"

"Yes, the place where he came was more elaborate than Wang Shizhu's, a ugly elbow had to be deliberately replaced, and the dishes he changed were not because he liked to eat, but just because he looked clean, which shows that the environment he is in is very focused on appearance. Like us, he was added on a temporary basis, and he is more likely to be a powerful person than Wang Shizhu. But the strange thing is that he doesn't bother to hide his strength, and people like him will focus on guarding against it when they are seen by the copper coin hero. ”

Ye Yanshan was dumbfounded by her analysis, "That's ...... Where's the Sleeping God?"

"He was very excited when he saw the food, and he ate very quickly, he really looked like a person who came out of a place like the martial arts hall, and usually his senior brothers ate by grabbing, but the other characteristics he showed were not like a brainless person. ”

Brother Lian's fingers clasped lightly on the side of the bed, making a clicking sound, which she liked when she thought about it.

"Is it possible that he spent time in the army?" Mr. Ye said.

"Army?" Lian Brother's eyes lit up, "Yes, everyone is also rushing to eat and eat fast when eating in the army, he must be a scout, specializing in reconnaissance and visits, with a flexible body and a light achievement." ”

Ye Yanshan stared at her for a long time, and finally had to say, "Just by eating, you can see so much." What about me? What do you see?"

Brother Lian turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "You are a particular person, your family background must be very good when you are young, and your grandfather must be very strict with you." ”

Ye Yanshan lowered his head and smiled slightly, "I can't hide anything from you." ”

Lian Di put his hands behind his head, looked at the roof again and said: "Your eating appearance is very elegant, and your sitting posture also has a sense of nobility, if it weren't for your superb autopsy skills, I would have deduced that you are a big brother from a certain imperial relative." So since you were a child, your grandfather and father must have worked you and taught you so well. After saying this, she felt a little hot.

Ye Yanshan looked at her in a daze, and only said after a while, "Am I really okay?"

Brother Lian turned over to the wall and whispered with his back to him, "Of course." I don't know if he heard it.

After a few more moments, he said, "Thank you." ”

Brother Lian smiled secretly in his heart: Thank you, fool.

She lay still on her side, had just eaten lunch, and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up in the afternoon, Ba Ye asked everyone to explain some of the rules of the Fan Mansion, which was nothing more than where to go, where was the residence of the family members of the back house, and no trespassing.

Fan's own guards took everyone around the mansion to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Brother Lian walked in the crowd and paid special attention to Hou Jie, Wang Shizhu, and the god of sleep, Wang Shizhu still behaved calmly, not showing the mountains and water, and Hou Jie and the god of sleep always walked last. Brother Lian once borrowed and sorted out his shoes and deliberately fell behind, so the two of them immediately looked at the flowers and the trees one by one, delaying the time and waiting for Brother Lian to walk forward before continuing to go.

There is nothing special about the layout of the Fan Mansion, it is the same as the ordinary mansion of the capital, there are seven courtyards, there are gardens, lotus ponds, and stages in the courtyard, and there are many people in the house, there are more than 100 people, including girls, mothers-in-law, small servants, long followers, guards, cooks, and florists, and the masters of the Fan family have more than 30 people.

Brother Lian said to Ye Yanshan: "It's worse than a nerd's house, there is a white jade carved cabbage at the door of each courtyard of his house, and Man San wants to steal one to sell, but he hasn't moved it after moving it several times." ”

Ye Yanshan said enviously: "The relationship between the three of you is really good. ”

Lian Di said: "If you hadn't grown up together, who would have cared about them, but if you are a good person, they both recognize you." ”

Just as he was saying that Fan Zhijin walked over inexorably, the guards saw that they hurriedly avoided and stepped aside to make way for him, and Brother Lian turned his face away to prevent him from seeing him.

Turning her head, she saw that the sleeping god behind her had clenched her fists, and she quietly swept his face, just in time to see a flash of disdain in his eyes. And Hou Jie stared coldly at Fan Zhijin's back until he couldn't see it.

Although Fan Zhijin is often richer and more arrogant than Guan Shud, he is not a wicked person, and he is hostile to these two people, but why? Is it because he is too indebted to be beaten?

As soon as the group walked into the courtyard, they saw Fan Tonghai enter the courtyard surrounded by bodyguards, and the guards led everyone to salute him. "It's very polite, and it's not like a rich nouveau riche at all.

To be able to develop from a little white ding with nothing to a wealthy family in the capital, you still have to have a high IQ and emotional intelligence.

Brother Lian pretended to turn his head inadvertently, and the coldness in the eyes of the sleeping god had nowhere to hide. A thought suddenly flashed in Lian Di's mind, and she was so shocked that she reached out and grabbed Ye Yanshan's hand, and was also startled by her bold conjecture.
