Li Xin'er's eyes flashed with excitement, and she sat next to Qin's mother and said, "I think it's best to keep a distance of 60 centimeters between the chair and the dining table to facilitate the guests to sit down." In general, a square or rectangular table will take up more space than a round table for the same number of guests. Guests dining at a round table are closer together than those dining at a square or rectangular table, which adds to the intimacy between guests. ”

When Qin's mother heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Li Xin'er in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Has Xin'er already learned a professional course in this area?"

When Li Xin'er heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "No! It's just that I read some in magazines, and I'm just learning and selling now......

When Qin's mother heard this, she laughed instantly, shook her head and said, "It's okay, my Xin'er just read it in a magazine, and that is also her own unique opinion, and she can be regarded as a genius!!......!"

Li Xin'er smiled embarrassedly, and then continued: "The napkin is best made of soft and natural fiber materials, and the size must be moderate. A napkin can be simply folded into a square and the menu inserted into it to be placed inside the plate. If the first course has been placed on a plate beforehand, the napkin should be placed next to the knife and fastened with a ribbon or napkin clasp. ”

Du Yueniang on the side heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she seemed to think of something, and continued: "In terms of utensils, don't choose porcelain and knives and forks with exaggerated patterns and mixed colors, they will make the color of the food dull, and the dishes generally served on white plates can stimulate the appetite of the guests more. Try mixing and matching porcelain with goblets to spice up the table. Use a wine glass filled with a colored solution to coordinate the colors of the table floral and tablecloth. And the wine is served in a crystal clear goblet to create a noble and elegant atmosphere. ”

Li Xin'er had already talked about it at this time, and after thinking about it, she continued: "The height of the table decoration should not be too high, so as not to block the view of the guests and hinder the conversation. Compared to a square or rectangular dining table, it is sufficient for each round dining table to be arranged with a central floral decoration, and if the central floral is larger, then the size of the dining table also needs to be proportionally increased in order to provide enough dining space for guests. ”

"The most overlooked thing in a banquet setup is the cards. Be sure to know the total number of dining tables. In this way, sufficient seat cards and menus can be accurately calculated and prepared for each guest. The seat card should be placed in the most conspicuous place directly in front of each seat. The menu can be inserted into a napkin on a plate or placed on the top left of a knife. Du Yueniang said not to be outdone, with this smile in her eyes, without any intention of comparison. It's just for the sake of fun.

"And candles. Lighting a candle is romantic, although the cone-shaped candle is very visually vivid. But candle tears slip easily. Coloured glass wax cups with a strong decorative effect are paired with fresh flowers, and a linen tablecloth adds a bright colour to the table. Create the perfect visual effect. Li Xin'er turned her head and smiled at Du Yueniang, and the two had a very tacit understanding.

For a while, the voices of several people were in his ears, Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing, the topic between women is always so simple, but it can make them satisfied, so they are very happy to talk, this is also for what women always have endless topics, Qin Ma looked at Li Xin'er and Du Yueniang, who were sitting next to her, chatting with great interest, and her face couldn't help but smile.

This kind of lively day makes Qin's mother feel very comfortable, this is how it is called the atmosphere of a home, I don't want to have a home some time ago, although they keep saying that they like the world of the two, and hope that their sons and daughters-in-law don't have to bother, but in fact, they just don't want them to run back and forth, and they are more tired.

Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, it was the next day, everyone stayed in the Qin family's old mansion for one night last night, and the host venue of the birthday banquet had already been set up in the open-air venue on the top floor of Tianxiang Building, in order to hold a unique birthday party.

The banquet was held in the evening, Qin Ma was wearing a red evening dress, which was designed by a well-known Italian designer, the style was very chic and novel, wearing it at Qin Ma's age, there was a unique charm, Qin Xiaotian was wearing a tuxedo, and he was on the side of Qin Ma, like a knight guarding Qin Ma.

Qin Zheng, Qin Zhan, and Li Xin'er and others all changed into formal clothes, and everyone drove to Tianxianglou in a mighty car, because this time it was Qin Zheng who personally placed the order, so Tianxianglou was extremely hardworking, plus the relationship between Qin Zheng and Manager Chen of Tianxianglou, so this dinner party can be regarded as relatively good.

The invited people were not only Qin's mother's old friends and classmates, but also some people who got acquainted with Qin Zheng because of Mingrentang, and also took this opportunity to climb the relationship.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of people greeting each other, Qin's mother, as a birthday star, is naturally the most relaxed one, as long as she greets her old classmates and old friends, the rest of the people all have two brothers, Qin Zheng and Qin Zhan, plus Liao Jihuan, it is enough to deal with it.

The open-air venue is full of red tables and chairs, which look like a wedding banquet, this is Qin Zheng in order to make Qin's mother happy, specially chose this color, saying that it is festive, Qin's mother is naturally happy to see it, how can her son's heart be disappointed.

There is a big red menu on each table, using traditional vertical arrangement, although some people don't know traditional Chinese characters, but this menu is from the hands of famous artists, each one is hand-drawn, you can't help but look beautiful, and it is quite collectible.

The menu is bound with golden threads, and the reading of the scroll feels quite Chinese. The dishes include welcome cold plate, Shencheng dregs bowl, Jiangnan crystal shrimp, jade pearl black cucumber, original cage lotus duck, crab roe roasted white jade, rare mushroom abalone crisp, steamed yellow croaker with snow bamboo shoots, Shanghai grilled vegetables, wine-stuffed balls, and seasonal fresh fruits. Manager Chen of Tianxianglou told Qin Zheng that the so-called "bad bowls" in the past were all home-cooked dishes that were not on the table, and they were soaked with pork belly and pig intestines. This time, the dregs have been improved. Inside, it is full of precious seafood such as shark fin and abalone.

In addition, a delicate small rattan basket is placed on each dining table, which contains sandalwood fans, five-spice beans, old Xichuan star cards, Tianxianglou cards, sesame halva, Lingnan small clay figures, etc., which are very Xichuan style.

Because it was a birthday party, so after everyone was almost there, they began to cut the cake, a one-meter-high five-layer cake, pushed out of the staircase by a cart, and the top of the cake was a middle-aged woman in a red evening dress, that complexion. It's exactly the same as Qin's mother.

Mother Qin smiled and cut a piece with her hands. ushered in a round of blessings and applause, and after everyone finished sharing the cake, they all sat down, although the main tone of the banquet was drinking. But eating is also indispensable. Meal time. At the scene, a band played the old golden songs of Qin's mother's era.

Everyone at the scene was about the same age as Qin's mother, and they all nodded one after another, closed their eyes and enjoyed it. It seems that he is nostalgic for the green years and the days when there will never be a return, Qin Zheng leaned on the railing on the side, looking at this lively scene, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, time is really fleeting.

As soon as I think of it, hundreds of years have passed in my previous life, and I feel a little like a different life, as if it is right in front of me, but it seems to be far away, fortunately, in this life, there are more people to accompany him, Qin Zheng only hopes that these people can accompany him until the last life, not like the previous life.

There are always some people who come into your life, but they leave quietly, in that case, Qin Zheng would rather these people never appear, Liao Jihuan came over at some point, stood beside Qin Zheng, touched Qin Zheng's wine glass with his own thoughts, and then leaned on the railing with Qin Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng! Why don't you go over?" Aunt Qin can wait for you to say blessings to her!!"

When Qin Zheng heard this, he glanced at Chen Yating, who was wearing a loose skirt in the field, smiled and said, "Why are you willing to bring your baby out, how is the child, what does the doctor say?"

"It's very stable, it's been more than three months, I've been busy with Mingrentang's affairs recently, I haven't made much time to accompany her, she doesn't speak, I have time to go back to see her, she looks very happy every time, but I know that she feels uncomfortable, but she doesn't want to be known by me, I'm afraid of swaying my emotions, what a stupid woman!!" Liao Jihuan said a little stunned, and then drank the wine in the glass and sighed.

He didn't dare to take Chen Yating out of Lang until now, because he didn't want anything like a tomahawk to happen, Chen Yating is his wife, and she is also one of the people he wants to protect the most in this life, Mingrentang is certainly the hope of Hongmen, and it is also the hope of Liao Jihuan, so he can't stop, he does everything himself, in order to let Mingrentang carry forward.

Chen Yating also understands him and supports him very much, but Liao Jihuan always has a trace of sadness in his heart, sad for Chen Yating, and distressed for Chen Yating.

Qin Zheng looked at Liao Jihuan in front of him, sighed suddenly, and then said: "Ah Huan!!, in fact, you don't have to be so tired, Mingrentang is actually on the right track, you can leave the general things to the people under your hands to do, Yating is also pregnant now, you can also accompany more, Xie Tong and Wang Shuang are all taking care of Mingrentang, why are you in a hurry?"

"Maybe it's because of Hongmen!!I'll try to find as much time as possible, Brother Zheng, you!!, aren't you still so busy!!" Liao Jihuan shook his head as if he didn't care and said.

How many people's blood and dreams are carried by these two words, Qin Zheng couldn't help but take a breath, even the air was cold at night, inhaling into his chest, he only felt very clear, but he felt a little unreal, maybe it was because of the word Hongmen that everyone's mood became different.

Qin Zheng thought about it, should they change their concepts, although it shows that Rentang was established for Hongmen after the dissolution of Hongmen, but after all, it is a brand-new institution, although Qin Zheng is saying that Rentang is Hongmen, but everyone knows that Mingrentang is Mingrentang, which is completely different from Hongmen, but everyone would rather believe that Mingrentang is Hongmen.

What is it for, that is the belief in the heart, and the obsession!!

Qin Zheng didn't speak, and after a while, after eating there, a waltz dance music began, and everyone looked for their dance partners, swaying on the dance floor, Qin Ma and Qin Xiaotian looked at each other and smiled, holding hands and entering the dance floor.

Here Chen Yating and Li Xin'er, Liang Sinuo, and Du Yueniang also followed, after Chen Yating came over, she shouted 'Brother Zheng', and stood beside Liao Jihuan like a little daughter-in-law, Li Xin'er, Liang Sinuo, and Du Yueniang stood in front of Qin Zheng, and the three of them had a very tacit understanding not to talk about dancing.

After all, there are three women and one man on their side, and it is really not easy to share the spoils, so don't participate in this kind of one-on-one game, not to mention that Qin Zheng can't dance at all, for this aspect, Qin Zheng can be regarded as an idiot, not that Qin Zheng can't learn, but he has no interest in this aspect, let alone learn anything.
