Chapter 115 Banquet
The next afternoon, everyone in the Gu family dressed up and prepared to go out.
Even Gu Yun changed into new clothes.
It’s not that the Gu family is not particular, they brought their whole family to Deshenglou to get a bite to eat.
Instead, after making the verbal invitation, Manager Luo came to the Gu family in person yesterday evening and solemnly sent a letter to the Gu family, strongly inviting everyone in the Gu family.
With his enthusiastic attitude, let alone inviting Gu Yun, if the Gu family had a dog, he would probably coax the dog to join the feast.
When others are enthusiastic, the Gu family naturally takes it seriously.
Before leaving, Zhang Yunniang changed Gu Zhao's clothes and rearranged Niu Niu's hair.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time that our Niu Niu has gone to a big restaurant for a proper meal." Gu Mingda said with a smile.
Niu Niu really likes the feeling of being cared for by others. No matter how little she does, her parents will take it seriously.
"Is there anything special about having a banquet for the first time?" Niu Niu asked, looking up.
Gu Zhao seemed to have thought of some bad memories, and said with a bitter face: "Don't break the dishes, you have to pay for it, all the New Year's money has been put into it."
Zhang Yunniang touched Niuniu's head and said, "There's nothing special about it. Just remember to eat enough."
Gu Zhao didn't understand and asked, "Why don't you teach her not to break dishes?"
Zhang Yuniang tapped her youngest son on the forehead and said, "Niuniu is not you. Why would you want to hold a bowl or plate to see which is harder, the ground or the bowl?"
Gu Zhao held his head in his hands aggrievedly and said, "I'm just very curious."
Zhang Yunniang was too lazy to pay attention to him and reminded Niuniu: "Your arms are short. If there is a dish that you can't reach, tell me. Don't be embarrassed. Remember?"
Niuniu nodded vigorously.
Old Lady Gu also reminded Gu Yun: "You will be going to the government office soon. You are not a child anymore. Watch your eating manners when you eat."
Gu Yun nodded, glanced at Niuniu, and whispered, "Grandma, this is also my first time to eat at a big restaurant. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Old Lady Gu said, "If I tell you so much, will you remember it? Just pay attention to your eating manners. For the rest, look at your uncle and learn from him."
Gu Yun nodded.
Old Lady Gu added, "When you enter the government, you will probably have to eat in a restaurant every two or three days. Once you get used to it, you'll be fine."
Gu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing him like this, Old Lady Gu slapped him and said, "You only know how to eat. Watch more and learn more! If you learn the bad habits of those people in the government office who oppress the people and ruin your uncle's reputation, I will teach you a lesson!"
Gu Yun nodded immediately and said, "Grandma, don't you know me? I am the most timid person, how dare I do those things."
The family walked to the restaurant. Manager Luo was very polite and waited for them at the door.
Seeing the Gu family from afar, he trotted over to pick them up.
"Old lady, you look really energetic today! Mr. Gu, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Now that I see you, I understand why Mr. Chen always praises you highly every time he mentions you..."
Shopkeeper Luo was very sweet-talking, and he praised everyone highly. Even Gu Yun was praised as "a handsome man".
Older people care most about whether they are valued. Old Mrs. Gu really likes Manager Luo's attitude and she is smiling so hard that her teeth are not visible.
Cheng He’s Chunfeng Building is just opposite Desheng Building. Because the braised food on the opposite side has just been served, he still holds on to a last glimmer of hope, hoping that what is being sold is not Gu’s braised food.
After the waiter changed his clothes and bought a plate of braised food from the opposite side, Cheng He took a bite and his heart finally settled.
Yesterday, Liu Xiaoru made a fuss about him and Cheng He was driven away without even asking about the matter of Desheng Building.
But Cheng He still couldn't figure out why the braised food in Deshenglou was so cheap. The price was the same as in the shop, so there was no profit at all.
"Could it be that this bitch saw that Luo was good-looking and sold her to him cheaply?" Cheng He guessed in his heart.
The next second, Cheng He suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He stood by the window of Chunfeng Tower, looking at Shopkeeper Luo on the opposite street, cordially accompanying the Gu family into Desheng Tower.
Liu Xiaoru, who was standing next to Shopkeeper Luo, seemed to have dressed up deliberately. She was wearing a pink spring shirt and holding the hand of Niuniu, who was wearing a dress of the same color.
If outsiders didn't know, they would probably think they were a family of three.
Cheng He felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
He was going crazy.
He had put so much effort into Liu Xiaoru, given her so many gifts, and put in so much hard work, but he felt as if he had been hit twice hard by fists from behind.
His mind was full of thoughts about how to deal with the people, and he called the manager of his own restaurant over to prepare for the action.
Just as soon as the words came out.
The manager said, "Master, have you forgotten? The stewed food shop is protected by Captain Chen. Both the white and black gangs have been informed of him, so he can't be easily touched. It's a small matter to offend Shopkeeper Liu, but it's not easy to offend Captain Chen."
Cheng He calmed down a little, and then he remembered why he didn't use force from the beginning and pretended to be deeply in love with Liu Xiaoru.
"This woman took so many things from me, why does she just let it go like this?" Cheng He said viciously.
When the steward heard this, he lowered his head and looked at his nose, and couldn't help complaining in his heart that it was just some cakes made in the restaurant's kitchen, but why did it act like a lot of money was spent.
"I can't just let this go!"
Cheng He was still furious, but many people didn't dare to offend him, so they could only say, "I'm going to ruin her reputation. I don't want to see how she can get married again in the future! If she doesn't marry me, she can't even think about marrying someone named Luo!"
The layout of Chunfeng Tower emphasizes openness and closing, while Desheng Tower is more Jiangnan style, with exquisite interior and more emphasis on privacy.
Although there is a restaurant lobby, there are no dining tables. There are only private rooms one after another in the entire restaurant.
There is a large fish tank on each side of the entrance. At this time, many children are attracted by the agile little goldfish.
Niu Niu and Gu Zhao lay beside the fish tank, looking inside eagerly.
"You are so beautiful." Niu Niu exclaimed to the little goldfish in the fish tank.
The little goldfish wagged its tail gracefully.
Niuniu was excited: "It's responding to me."
"The goldfish is not responding to you. It is just happy to eat the food I feed it."
Niu Niu looked up after hearing the voice, only to see a little boy who was half a head smaller than Gu Zhaogao.
The little boy had a delicate face, fair and tender skin, and was wearing gorgeous clothes. At this moment, he was looking at Niu Niu with a sour face.
Before Niu Niu could say anything, Gu Zhao was eager to protect his sister and said, "My sister is the most popular, and the goldfish is responding to her!"
The little boy frowned and looked at Gu Zhao with disdain.
"You are not a fish, so how do you know why the fish are happy?" said the little boy, shaking his head.
These bookish words sounded like heavenly books to Gu Zhao's ears.
He consciously filtered out the things that made him uncomfortable, turned to Niuniu and said, "Stay away from him. My grandma said, don't play with idiots."
