Chapter 848: Reception Banquet
Seeing that these old guys didn't leave but planned to follow with a dead face, Baker asked Hawke in a worried whisper, "What now?"
Hawke's face was also a little bitter, knowing that the good wine he had treasured for more than a hundred years today could not be kept, so he simply spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? Let's go together." β
As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice, "I really didn't expect that you old guys would have thicker skins than the other." β
The other old guys naturally heard Hawke's complaints, but they didn't hear them at all, and they just didn't say a word to Ouyang Feng and the others.
At this time, Dodd's eyes rolled to Hawke and said: "Otherwise, it's already like this anyway, I don't think I'll go where we are, just give Xiaofeng and them the wind here, let's make wine, let them serve the wine." β
Hawke's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I can't make them cheap." As he spoke, he said to the great elders of the other families: "Let's not go anywhere, and don't let Xiaofeng embarrass them, just set up a few tables here, I'll make the good wine, and you will be responsible for the rest." The others hesitated for a moment, and then nodded their heads in agreement.
Hawke added: "I'll make good wine, and you have to use dim sum to arrange the appetizers, otherwise you'll waste my good wine, who is that, I heard that you have a thousand-year-old ginseng in your hand, do you also take it out for everyone to taste? And who else, didn't you raise a few colorful jade chickens? Do you also get a few?"
Ouyang Feng blinked his eyes and subconsciously said, "Well, ginseng stewed chicken, good thing, big supplement." β
Originally, the two old men named by Hawke were still a little reluctant. However, when he saw Ouyang Feng speak, he had to be ruthless and ordered the juniors of the family to prepare.
The next thing was simple, Dodd ordered people to bring tables and chairs for everyone to sit down and talk, Ouyang Feng and they drank tea while chatting about what happened during this time. In a few moments, two dozen tables were set up. Then, all the core members of the family came one after another, together with the good things prepared by each family and the best chefs, and set up a stove in the square to start cooking various delicacies.
Seeing this, the monkey couldn't sit still, and said hello to everyone and walked to the middle of a group of busy cooks for a while, looking around and asking questions, although the monkey is also a famous chef, but to put it bluntly, he is just a grass cook, and he has never seen these gorgeous and complicated cooking utensils. And the cooks, too, had heard of the monkey, so they were not disgusted or impatient with his arrival, and did not ignore it like everyone else, while introducing the monkey to various cooking utensils, while exchanging cooking tips with each other, and after a while, the monkey mingled with these guys. Roll up your sleeves and plan to show your hand.
Ouyang Feng, Qingfeng, Mingyue, Anna and Hawke chatted, and the rice bucket and others lost interest after listening to it for a while. Looking around boredly, Dodd saw this, and saw that it would take a little time for the wine and food to be ready, so he recruited a few juniors and took a few people with rice buckets to go around to relieve boredom.
Of course, like Penny, Redcoat, Elena, and Petty. Dodd also found some female relatives to accompany them, and they didn't hang out like the rice bucket and them, but sat around and chatted not far from Ouyang Feng and them, of course, their topic unsurprisingly revolved around clothes and cosmetics. And they talked very speculatively, looking like long-lost sisters, and Dodd was smacking his tongue when he saw it, and he was also full of admiration for women as creatures.
The little girl is an idle guy, she doesn't have much interest in clothes and cosmetics or anything, she has no patience after sitting for a while, and runs to Ouyang Feng to take away the Ah Zi cat and Big Panya who have been lying on the ground obediently, Ah Zi Cat and Big Panya have long been impatient, but without Mingyue and Ouyang Feng to speak, they can only stay honestly, and now the little girl comes to pull them away, the two guys are quite happy, and without waiting for Ouyang Feng to nod, they jumped out at once, causing the little girl to run for a while to catch up with themγ
Next, the combination of the little girl, the cat and the big panya, wandered around like ghosts, let's see if they went to the cook to steal some food, and then hid in the corner and the thieves laughed and ate it, but after being found and driven away by the chef again, the cooks guarded them like thieves, and when they saw them coming, they hid all the delicious food, and they could no longer steal food.
In desperation, the little girl took the cat and the big panya and began to think about the surrounding movements, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while, Ouyang Feng and they noticed this, but they were not worried, this is a holy city, and it can be regarded as their own territory, the little girl will not be in any danger here, so simply let the little girl go crazy.
However, what Ouyang Feng and Hawke didn't expect was that the little girl was not ordinary and could cause trouble, about an hour had passed, the rice bucket had returned, and the banquet was ready, but the little girl still hadn't returned.
Just when Dodd was about to send someone to look for it, the little girl finally appeared, but it was not only the little girl and the three of them who came back, behind them, there was also a large group of small children of different ages, these little children gathered around the cat and the big panya, and also followed behind the little girl, touching the cat from time to time, making the cat constantly shake its body, and her eyes were full of innocence and grievances.
When the little girl came to the venue of the banquet, she didn't greet Ouyang Feng and them, she looked like an eldest sister, pointing to a few tables on the edge and arranging for her newly accepted little brothers to be seated.
Those little fart children are only in their teens, and the small ones have just learned to walk, so they naturally have no confidence in an occasion like today, and they thought it was a family gathering like before, so they were naturally not polite, and they sat down according to the instructions of the little girl, but these little children are still very cultivated, and they are very restrained and honest in the face of the sumptuous food.
Hongshang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw this scene, looked at the other people who were waiting around and didn't sit down, and said to Dodd apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the little girl is not sensible, why don't you trouble Brother Dodd to arrange some more seats?"
Dodd smiled: "It's okay, I'll arrange it." β
Adonis is not a worry-free master, seeing the little girl come back with so many little children, and some of them are talking and laughing, and they also want to go over to join in the fun, so they pulled Elena over too, sat with a few teenage children, boasted of his so-called glorious deeds, and soon won the worship of several little children.
Elena is different from Adonis, she didn't mess around with Adonis, she wanted to have a sister since she was a child, and when she saw so many little girls, she suddenly became very fond of love, and took the initiative to take care of these little girls who were not sensible and couldn't take care of themselves, which was also a great help.
Hawke looked at the little girl's bravado, Adonis's boasting, and Elena's heartfelt love, and said to Dodd with a gratifying smile: "Bring more tables and chairs, and let those people come over too, so that they don't have to worry." As he spoke, he pointed slightly in the direction where the little girl had come.
Dodd smiled and nodded, he had already discovered those people in the distance, those were not others, they were the parents of those little children who were abducted by the little girl, they had been following, not worried about what the little girl would do to their children, but worried that their children had done something wrong and made the elders of the family and these distinguished guests lively, following behind, once this kind of thing happened, it would be good to come forward in time to remedy it.
Dodd personally went over and invited these parents from various families, these people obviously did not have a very high status in their respective families, and such a standard banquet made them very cramped, and even a little nervous, and they all said that they would take their children back, and they didn't want to disturb these elders and guests, but after Hawke and others sent a message to let them stay, these people were a little flattered and helpless to stay.
Dodd looked at the ever-expanding banquet hall, hesitated for a moment and proposed to Hawke: "Otherwise, let's make it bigger and let everyone come over, otherwise we will eat here, and so many people over there will always feel uncomfortable watching and waiting." Hawke didn't speak, but looked at Ouyang Feng and the others, as if asking Ouyang Feng for their opinion.
Ouyang Feng likes to be lively, and the place here is big enough, so naturally there is no opinion, and everyone has a lively time, which can be regarded as having met, and there is no need to visit each other after that, it can be regarded as a lot of things left.
Dodd didn't say a word, and immediately arranged for someone to notify the rest of the various families to come over, and the heads and stewards of the other families were also busy, arranging tables, chairs and meals, and for a while, the scene became more lively.
Unlike other people who are idle, the monkey can be said to have benefited a lot from a group of powerful chefs, and has learned a lot of cooking skills, especially cooking food with magic, which can be regarded as the monkey's biggest gain this time.
At the beginning, the monkey saw a cook put a freshly killed flower chicken that was not ordinary at first glance into a jar, and added a few pieces of ginseng, ready to stew, very puzzled stepped forward to ask, according to the monkey's idea, stewed chicken, but it takes a long time, but the longer the time, the better the taste, but now in this form, there is not enough time to cook, it is estimated that when this pot of ginseng stewed chicken is ready, the banquet should have ended long ago.
