Chapter 84 Luxurious Dinner

The little girl ran over and tapped Zhou Mingyuan, then said to him, "Uncle, your underwear is leaking out."

Ye Xiaoxuan: ...

Not sure, I looked down and wondered why they didn’t notice it just now?

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Ye Xiaohua, and Ye Xiaohua looked back at her.

Hahahaha...yeah, why?

Ye Xiaohua thought, this is probably because they are used to seeing Zhou Mingyuan's extremely eye-catching outfit, and now there is nothing that can shock them...

Embarrassment spread between the two of them, leaving them at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, the little girl's parents soon discovered the matter and were so scared that they immediately showed their masks of fear when faced with this situation.

She took two quick steps, grabbed the little girl's hand and ran away: "Baby, don't be rude. She dressed like that on purpose." said the little girl's mother.

The little girl didn't understand: "Huh? Why? Uncle is too poor to buy longer pants?"

The little girl's mother: "No, it's because it's fashionable. Didn't the big star on TV dress like that?"

Which star? Ye Xiaoxuan thought the mother must be talking about Justin Bieber.

Little girl: "But mom, last time I wanted to be fashionable, why didn't you agree?"

The little girl's mother said: "Because fashion is for adults, children can't be fashionable."

Little girl: “Is that so?”

Little girl's mother: "Yes, yes."

Little girl: "Then why aren't you fashionable, mom?"

The little girl's mother: "Of course mommy has fashion too, but mommy's fashion is different from that uncle's. You will understand this when you grow up."

Little girl: “Is that so…”

The voices of the mother and daughter were getting farther and farther away. Ye Xiaoxuan and the others lowered their heads and walked into the private room with gritted teeth. Almost the moment they entered the room, Zhou Mingyuan immediately exerted force and pulled up his pants.

Seeing him like this, the two people who had been tense all the way couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing.

Even Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help laughing.

They were brought to a small private room with luxurious decoration. The deep red silk wall cloth and Suzhou embroidery screens created a strong traditional atmosphere. The enameled lotus palace lanterns hung from the ceiling, which was noble and solemn.

The hidden touch panel on the wall and the built-in induction cooker on the revolving dining table provide convenience for the private room, which can be said to be a perfect fusion of tradition and technology.

The waiter handed over the menu respectfully, "What would you like to drink?"

"It's evening now, so it's not a good time to drink. Then..." Before Zhou Mingyuan could finish his words, Ye Xiaoxuan spoke first: "Then let's have three bottles of white wine, two bottles of red wine, and four bottles of beer."

Zhou Mingyuan:!

"Xiao Ye, don't you not drink?"

Ye Xiaoxuan just smiled meaningfully: "No, I'm not drinking. Isn't it you, Old Zhou, who's treating us?"

As soon as these words came out, the waiter next to him immediately became extremely embarrassed. He didn't know what to say, but Zhou Mingyuan just waved his hand indifferently and scolded with a smile: "Alright, you just know how to take advantage of me, add more."

Then with a wave of his hand, the waiter recorded the drinks truthfully, and at the same time wondered in his heart what the relationship between these three people was. You know, such a combination is not common in their restaurant.

After Ye Xiaoxuan and her friends ordered drinks, they also ordered several dishes, mainly cold dishes, and they ordered a lot, to fill their stomachs before the main dishes came.

…

A traditional Chinese banquet generally includes the following parts: cold dishes, hot meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, soup, staple food, and desserts/fruits.

Compared to the main dishes that take time to prepare, the cold dishes were indeed the first to be served. At the same time, at Ye Xiaoxuan's signal, the drinks were also served.

Cut the beef shank into large pieces and soak them in cold water for more than 2 hours, changing the water twice in the middle to remove blood.

Put cold water in a pot, add ginger slices and cooking wine, boil over high heat, skim off the foam, remove the beef and rinse it. Put a little oil in the pot, fry the scallion, ginger slices and all spices over low heat until fragrant, add soybean paste/sweet noodle sauce and stir-fry until the sauce flavor comes out, pay attention to the heat to avoid burning.

Put the beef into a deep pot, pour in the fried spices, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rock sugar.

Pour hot water into the pot to cover the beef twice as high as it is tall. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. Turn off the heat and let the beef cool naturally in the sauce soup. Soak for at least 2 hours, remove the beef, drain, and slice for storage.

In this way, a serving of braised beef in soy sauce is ready. As the signature appetizer of a high-end restaurant in Nanshi, it uses the best quality pork shank, with rich sauce flavor, crispy but not loose, and very valuable. Ye Xiaoxuan and his friends ordered several plates at one time.

With a "pop", the moment the cold dishes were served, Ye Xiaoxuan opened a bottle of beer on the table and said, "Come on, Lao Zhou, let's have a drink..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Ye Xiaoxuan's face again. The crystal chandelier refracted a prism-like light spot on the champagne glass, and the waiter quietly removed the third empty ice bucket.

Zhou Mingyuan's mind went blank and he took the cup directly from Ye Xiaoxuan.

…

"Raising fish?" Ye Xiaoxuan opened the second bottle of beer, and with the white knuckle beer opener, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the foam flowed down his knuckles.

Zhou Mingyuan's wine glass was immediately filled with yellow liquid, and the foam broke into tiny stars on the rim of the glass.

"Ah, still drinking?" After drinking a glass of beer, Zhou Mingyuan was already feeling a little dizzy, but Ye Xiaoxuan had expected this; this guy's alcohol tolerance really hadn't changed at all.

The aroma of food mixed with the smell of alcohol filled the entire private room.

In the private room, the huge table is now filled with various delicacies. Pay attention, the dish placed on the left of Ye Xiaoxuan is called braised baby pigeon. It uses Shiqi baby pigeon from Zhongshan and is paired with a secret marinade. It has a bright red color and an excellent taste. It can be said to be a top-quality dish.

The dish placed on Ye Xiaoxuan's right is called steamed grouper. Wild grouper is expensive and has tender meat. After steaming, it is drizzled with special soy sauce and garnished with chopped green onions. It is extremely delicious and rare.

The dish behind these two is also not to be underestimated, it is called Boiled Cabbage (State Banquet Edition). The soup is as clear as boiling water, and the cabbage heart is shaped like a lotus. It looks light, but in fact it is cooked in a broth made from old hen, ham, and scallops, fully demonstrating the chef's skills.

There are dozens of such dishes on this table, including clams in chicken soup, Kung Pao lobster balls, native chicken stewed with matsutake mushrooms, Chaozhou-style frozen red crabs... The table is full of dishes that are unforgettable and make people miss them like crazy.

Ye Xiaoxuan sat at the dining table, eating and drinking with Zhou Mingyuan.

"If you're a brother, blow this bottle." The blue veins on her wrist bulged as she moved, like a few rivers trapped under her skin.

At this point, even Ye Xiaohua noticed something was wrong. Her mother would never act like this. What was wrong with her? It was as if she was trying to get Captain Zhou drunk.

That’s right, in Ye Xiaohua’s heart, privately, Ye Xiaoxuan is already his mother.
