(Three hundred) no turkey for Christmas dinner

To Daniel Zhang's surprise, there was actually a triangular grand piano next to him. As far as he knows, such pianos are very expensive, even the cheapest ones are tens of thousands. The piano was still empty, and no one was playing. He was a little curious, wait a moment if someone would go up and play this.

Under the leadership of the waiter, the two went up to the second floor, which was full of booths, and the middle was surrounded by a corridor around the hall. Outside the aisle, the window of the booth faces the street outside the hotel, and you can see the night view of Yunshan. The booth on the inner side faces the lobby, and you can see the lobby on the first floor through the window.

Bai Zhixuan's booth position is very good, just facing the direction of the stage, and you can see the performance of the band on the stage. When you open the window, the beautiful melody comes in clearly, and the artistic atmosphere is excellent. Daniel Zhang secretly sighed in his heart that rich people would really enjoy it.

The two sat down at opposite ends of the table, and the waiter lit the candles on the seats, dimmed the lights on the top, and the environment became romantic. Against the backdrop of the flickering candlelight, Bai Zhixuan's face became extremely beautiful, and Daniel Zhang was stunned and licked his lips subconsciously.

Bai Zhixuan glared at Daniel Zhang, hung the mink coat she had taken off on the coat hook, and then ordered the waiter to start serving. Daniel Zhang shrugged his shoulders innocently, also took off his blazer, only wore the Western-style vest inside, and played with the tableware on the table.

These tableware are very high-end, from candlesticks to knives and forks are made of sterling silver, covered with Western-style pattern reliefs, giving a delicate and gorgeous feeling. Liang Aiping's family also has a set of such tableware, and Daniel Zhang likes to touch the pattern on the handle of the knife and fork, and often plays with it in his hand.

Bai Zhixuan saw her boyfriend's appearance, frowned and said, "Can you be a little more disciplined, either play this or that, like a child, you can't be quiet." ”

Daniel Zhang grinned and said, "It's just a meal, you don't need to be so formal." The food hasn't been served yet, and you're so nervous and tired, you should relax a little. ”

Bai Zhixuan knocked on the dining table and said unhappily: "Today is Christmas, and now is a Christmas dinner, which is a very formal and grand thing, don't be hippie and smiling." ”

Daniel Zhang said disapprehantly: "What's the Christmas dinner, it's just a meal." For us, the Chinese New Year should be the most grand, and Christmas is a fart. We haven't been so restrained during the New Year, and we have put it on for a foreign festival, which is too boring. ”

Bai Zhixuan was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "I can't talk about you, anyway, you stop a little today." This is a formal occasion, don't play a scoundrel on me, you can play whatever you want after today. ”

"Okay, you are the host of this meal, and I will listen to you as the guest does he want." Daniel Zhang said helplessly: "You chose a good position, this place is facing the stage downstairs, the cost should not be low, right?" ”

Bai Zhixuan shook her head and said, "It's not much expensive, and the price is acceptable." The main reason is that there are too many people who grab this kind of position, and I also got it after I got it. ”

Daniel Zhang thought for a while and persuaded: "In fact, there is no need, it is the same everywhere to eat, why spend such unjust money." I think the downstairs hall is very good, not so vain. ”

Bai Zhixuan paused for a moment and explained: "I'm not vain, today is different from usual. Today is Christmas, my first Christmas as an adult. According to religious tradition, I can get married from tomorrow, but not before, so I have to be treated with ceremonies. ”

Daniel Zhang is not religious, has never heard of this statement, and said curiously: "Is there still such a rule?" Isn't it inappropriate for you to be religious, and you still play this with others? ”

Bai Zhixuan sighed: "But my grandmother is religious, she is a very devout believer, and when she was alive, she would make a Christmas dinner every Christmas Eve. I can't cook big meals, so I have to ask my dad to bring me over to eat. Every year I try to be as grand as possible, as if my grandmother is still around. ”

Daniel Zhang was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Christmas still has such an important meaning to you." I think your grandmother must be watching you from heaven, and she will be very happy if you are doing so well now, so you should be happy and not too sad. ”

Bai Zhixuan nodded and said, "Actually, I'm not sad, it's just that I don't think of her every Christmas Eve." You know, my mom was gone a long time ago, my dad was out on business all year round and didn't care about me, and I didn't have many relatives. My grandfather and grandmother are the only relatives I have, so I miss them very much. ”

Daniel Zhang nodded and said, "Then you should be happier, I heard that Westerners are very happy at Christmas." You're not alone now, and I'm with you. Let's have a happy Christmas Eve tonight, and I wish you peace and happiness forever in the future. ”

Moments later, the waiter pushed the food cart to the booth where they were, and the Christmas dinner was set on the table. These dishes are exquisitely made and beautiful, and the mere look makes people very appetizing. The Christmas dinner is dominated by meat, with plenty of desserts and side dishes, as well as a bottle of fine red wine.

To Daniel Zhang's surprise, the main course of the Christmas dinner was not turkey, but a whole roast goose, which was completely different from what he saw in the tree book. Daniel Zhang looked at Bai Zhixuan, and Bai Zhixuan smiled and signaled him to spread the napkin on his thigh, ready to eat.

Daniel Zhang had to do it, but fortunately, Liang Aiping had popularized Western food etiquette for him before, so that he did not appear foreign. After a while, the waiter roughly divided the food for them, and then made a gesture to invite them to eat, pushed the dining cart out of the booth, and closed the curtain of the booth by the way.

Daniel Zhang Sheng saw that there was no one else, so he asked embarrassedly: "Aren't Christmas dinners all turkey?" Why roast goose? You didn't order the wrong dish, did you? ”

Bai Zhixuan explained: "The main course of Christmas dinner in Western countries is different, eating turkey is just a tradition in Millican, because Jili and De Zhizhi eat roast goose, and many countries near the sea eat fish. There is no standard for this, I chose roast goose because my grandmother likes to make roast goose. ”

Daniel Zhang nodded and said, "So that's the case, today is really a long insight." I read that everything in the books is turkey, and even in foreign language textbooks, I thought that eating turkey uniformly is the same as eating dumplings in the north during the Chinese New Year. ”

Bai Zhixuan continued: "Actually, I prefer to eat roast goose. One year I also ordered turkey, and the turkey meat was not very tasty, and the meat quality was much worse than that of roast goose, so I never ordered it again. Hurry up and try it, the roast goose here is still good, quite suitable for my appetite. ”
