Chapter 36: The Luncheon
Autumn flies by in Binh Nam province, and in a city that often has only two seasons, spring and summer, autumn is exceptionally short.
A dozen girls dressed in maid outfits slowly walked from the kitchen in a line, each with their heads held high like proud white swans, as a high-end society, eating is more like a way to symbolize their status, even in a rough and simple barbecue, in their eyes can be set off with delicate crystal plates and silver knives and forks.
These young girls are recruited from the Philippines, and Filipino maids are famous all over the world for their good temperament and service attitude, these people are more like furniture, dotting those rich and noble homes.
They quickly put their plates on the table, and these were some hors d'oeuvres, most of them fruits and snacks.
Chu Xian just felt that something was not quite right, logically speaking, this was just an ordinary birthday party, but he didn't expect the result to be so involuted.
"Uncle Lu, this is the tea I found someone to pick from Wuyi Mountain, it is from an old tea tree that is more than 200 years old, it is generally for exclusive use, you can taste it."
"Uncle Lu, this is a bottle of red wine that I brought back from Italy, which has the same name as Lafite in '82, but it is more niche."
"Uncle Lu, this piece of jade was specially bought by someone from Myanmar, the best Hetian jade, I heard that you belong to a pig, so I carved a jade pig for you."
Lu Chunfeng looked at the various gifts given by these people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the scene was very harmonious.
"Uncle Lu, this is a gift from Rolex when I went to Switzerland not long ago to visit the Swiss watch factory, and I have always thought it is very memorable, I heard that you are about to lead a team to study abroad, I think if you can wear this watch must be the icing on the cake."
Lu Chunfeng took the watch and said with a smile: "You kid is really interested, this watch is not cheap." β
"It is said that BMW is a hero, Uncle Lu is a new star in the science and technology industry that cannot be withered, and he is now the leader of modern technology, this watch is very suitable."
Zhao Jianguo's sycophant slap Lu Chunfeng was very comfortable, but the disgusting others fell goosebumps.
When Lu Chunfeng looked to the side and appeared, he didn't know how to speak.
Lu Yueyue pulled Chu Xian aside, thinking that nothing had happened, but she didn't expect Chu Xian to take the initiative to say, "Mr. Lu, this is a little fruit I bought for you." β
Everyone present was a little shocked, and what they couldn't imagine the most was that this kind of words came out of Chu Xian's mouth and they didn't care about it like this, and everyone looked at Chu Xian with an incredible gaze.
Zhao Jianhai even burst out laughing, the whole hillbilly is really muddy and can't support the wall, and he is too bold, the first time he went to a female classmate to attend a private party, not only did he not care at all, but he even coped with it a little, and he didn't know why Lu Yueyue actually fell in love with such a crooked neck tree, and he didn't make others laugh out of his big teeth when he took it out in the future?
Chu Xian didn't care, for Chu Xian there was no personal life, and the only thing that could interest him was the task.
The task of protecting Lu Yueyue has been suspended, and he should not have appeared here in the first place, but fortunately, Huo Hang has returned to the headquarters, and this time can be regarded as his free activities, for the sake of Lu Yueyue's face, he reluctantly came to this banquet.
Chu Xian didn't know what the big guy thought, but Lu Chunfeng, who was still smiling a second ago, had already lowered his face in this second, and he didn't even reach out to pick up the fruit bag in Chu Xian's hand.
Fortunately, Lu Yueyue relieved the siege in time, and after taking the fruit bag, she said: "It just so happens that there is no fruit at home, so I'll take it to the kitchen and cut it." β
Lu Yueyue said and pulled Chu Xian to the side.
The simplest emotional vent is to fall into the well, Zhao Jianhai sat on the chair next to him and sneered and said: "Yo he, I thought it was a good thing, it turned out to be a few oranges, classmate Chu Xian, Yueyue is not your relative in the countryside." β
The people around him also began to laugh when they heard this, and Lu Yueyue said unevenly: "What's the matter with you?" Yueyue is also your name? β
couldn't get off the stage in public, Zhao Jianhai's face was also very unhappy, and Lu Chunfeng said leisurely: "Yueyue, don't be rude." β
"Humph!" Lu Yueyue walked towards the room angrily with the fruit.
"I'm so sorry, Yueyue has spoiled me so badly. This classmate, you have a good time here, and let's have a meal together in a while. Lu Chunfeng said with a smile after scolding Lu Yueyue.
After Lu Chunfeng left, the whole banquet scene was very similar to Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Some students who didn't understand the specific events also got together.
"How can there be such people?"
"That's it, let me tell you that this person is a phoenix man, and he relied on his clever words and good arguments to get Lu Yueyue's favor."
"True or false!"
"Is that still fake? This is what I heard Zhao Jianhai say, this kind of person is a scheming man. β
All kinds of gossip spread around, Chu Xian heard these words that were a little aimed at himself, and smiled, if he hadn't given Lu Yueyue a face, he wouldn't have come.
Found a corner, Chu Xian was also unceremoniously ate casually.
Sometimes Chu Xian is very speechless for these people who claim to be the elite of society, according to "The Origin of Species", human beings have evolved from primates such as apes, and everyone is essentially the same, so that others have to divide the ranks, and finally classify them according to three, six, nine, etc., those who have money and status in their hands can enjoy all the love? For the sake of this love, do not hesitate to make a lot of rules?
When today's menu details were distributed to everyone by the maid, everyone had appreciative eyes.
"French Baked Snails", "Boston Lobster", "Japanese Wagyu Steak", "Italian Macaroni", "Swiss Mashed Potatoes", "Chinese Roasted Whole Lamb"
These menus are the most famous dishes in the world, and their tastes are different, but the arrangement on this menu is not inconsistent at all, and Lu Chunfeng also put a lot of thought into this meal.
Lu Chunfeng explained softly: "This is Paul, Lubson's menu. β
Hearing the name Paul, Lubsong, even Zhao Jianhai can't help but face up, as the head of the new generation of the Lubusong family, Paul, Lubsong can be said to have carried the food to the extreme, in the latest list of world celebrity chefs at the age of 26 he won the world's No. 1 title, according to legend, he can use a fish that is about to rot to make an intoxicating fish soup, many political and business predators are proud to be able to invite him.
Even the most exaggerated thing is that a world-class arms dealer even exchanged six main battle tanks for Paul, a dinner in LubΓ§on, and there is a saying in the business world that a dinner worthy of hundreds of millions of business must be Paul. Lubpine.
Zhao Jianhai thanked: "Paul, you can invite a legend in the chef world like Lubson, and this time it is really my honor." β
Lu Chunfeng saw that someone knew the goods, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Paul just owes me a favor, and it just so happens that he just came to our Pingnan City recently, so I invited him over." β
"Paul, LubΓ§on's favor is really important." Zhao Jianhai affirmed: "My father used to look for him, but at that time he heard that he was studying crocodiles in the Nile Valley. β
"That's right, this is Paul, Lubson his mystery, he is always elusive. According to his words, he continued to practice in order to develop the most beautiful recipes, and he was often seen researching large snails in France in the morning, and appearing on the beaches of Hawaii in the evenings to study grilled fish. Lu Chunfeng said in a low voice.
Different from ordinary science and technology men, Lu Chunfeng is also a very decent person, otherwise he would not have become a businessman who uses technology to get rich, and this time it is also about his daughter's decency in school, Lu Chunfeng has already learned that many children of wealthy businessmen and nobles have sent their children here, and it is very effective to help her daughter win people's hearts and eat.
Red grapes and a variety of pre-dinner desserts are constantly shuttling between the small carts after being awake for half an hour, and the Filipino maid, who knows a little Chinese, smiles at everyone.
The best thing about eating at home is that you can do whatever you want to eat, so you don't have to be afraid to order food in front of outsiders.
The shade tent is slowly rising, and even the open-air air conditioning has been prepared to maintain the temperature, 23.5 degrees is the most suitable problem for the human body, and the white shirt and black dress will not stick to the skin.
Tasting red wine and commenting on food is one of the etiquettes that Zhao Jianhai learned since childhood, for them, this way of communication is an inevitable thing in the wine table culture, when you accurately say the essence of this thing, the other party will be frightened by your aura and quality, and some difficult to complete business will often be successful.
Zhao Jianhai's performance can be said to make Lu Chunfeng very satisfied, Zhao Jianhai saw that his quality had been affirmed by Lu Chunfeng, so what he had to do now was to climb the pole, once he established a specific position in the heart of Lu Chunfeng, the future father-in-law, then the future can be said to be captured.
Just when Zhao Jianhai was about to perform his last move, Lu Yueyue ran over with joy.
Audrey Hepburn's makeup and white tunic luncheon dress and five-centimeter-high Mary Jane shoes looked very beautiful, and there were many male classmates present, and their eyes were firmly glued to Lu Yueyue as if they were fixed with a keyboard.
