Su Tiantian was glad that she listened to Liu Jingze and ate the cake, otherwise she would have been really hungry, because it was already 7:40 when the meal officially started.
At this time, Su Tiantian sat back next to Liu Jingze, and Zhang Xiuli sat back next to Huang Jiekang. There was no reason for the couple to sit separately, otherwise, after dinner, gossip would be everywhere.
The dishes are rich and beautifully presented, and they are served one by one. One of them is called Yellow Eel Pot, which is made by putting yellow eel, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, onions, garlic, ginger, cooking wine, etc. in a clay pot. It is original, steam is rising, and the fragrance is wafting, which is delicious.
Everyone picked up a piece to try, but Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian didn't pick up their chopsticks.
Huang Jiekang said: "Jingze, I remember you like to eat eels, why don't you eat them?"
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian doesn't like to eat."
After hearing this, several people at the same table looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zheng Ziyang said, "Sister-in-law Tiantian doesn't like it, so you won't eat it?"
Liu Zhaosheng said: "It's not that I don't eat it, I only eat it when she's not around. Since we got married, whenever we eat together, we never see any dishes related to eels."
Su Tiantian was a little embarrassed at this time: "I don't put dishes I don't like on the table at home."
Xiao Boyang said weakly, "I remember Uncle Liu also liked to eat eels. Doesn't that mean he doesn't eat them now?"
Liu Jingze spoke in a relaxed tone, as if discussing a trivial matter: "Didn't my godfather just tell me to eat when Tiantian is not around?"
It is indeed a trivial matter. It is just that someone does not like to eat a certain dish. In order not to make her unhappy, she has to cook this dish when she is not around. However, as a daughter-in-law or a wife, if you ask your father-in-law or husband to do this, it will definitely cause gossip.
However, the Liu father and son actually took the initiative to refuse to eat. This is a huge difference. What does this mean? It means that Su Tiantian has a high status in the Liu family and the Liu father and son treat her well.
Zheng Ziyang said, "Sister Tiantian, I'm gossiping. Why don't you like eating eels? I think they're delicious. Don't you like the way they're cooked? Would you like to try something else?"
Su Tiantian didn't answer, but leaned her head on Liu Jingze's shoulder sheepishly. Liu Jingze picked up a piece of fried garlic pork ribs for her and said, "When Tiantian was a child, she had a dream that there was a snake under her bed. She was scared and cried. She thought eels were similar to snakes and didn't want to eat them."
Zhang Xiu Li said, "It turned out to be a dream that scared you. Tian Tian, don't be afraid. It was just a dream."
Su Tiantian said, "I'm not dreaming, this is real." After that, she obediently ate the fried garlic pork ribs that Liu Jingze picked for her. This was one of her favorite dishes.
Liu Jingze explained, "Tiantian thought it was a dream, but it wasn't. She was young at the time, and in rural areas back then, the floors inside the house were made of dirt, surrounded by vegetable fields, banana trees, fruit trees, bamboo, and the like. Snakes often entered the house at night. My father-in-law caught the snake under the bed that time, and it scared Tiantian."
Su Tiantian bit her lip and said, "I thought it was a dream, but I was still very scared. I woke up the next day and cried and told my dad. He said it was real and showed me the snake. Uncle Liu was so excited that he said he wanted to use it to make wine."
Xiao Huilin's eyes flickered a little, and she whispered, "Could the Uncle Liu you're talking about be...?"
Liu Jingze answered her question: "It's my father, so he is embarrassed to eat eels in front of Tiantian."
Xiao Huilin was really afraid that she would not be able to help laughing, so she quickly covered her mouth. When Liu Liangjie said he wanted to soak snakes in wine, did he think of Su Tiantian becoming his daughter-in-law? Now he was too embarrassed to eat eels in front of his daughter-in-law.
Liu Zhaosheng had no scruples and just laughed out loud. Zhang Xiuli also wanted to laugh. Su Tiantian and the Liu family were indeed destined to be together.
Zhang Xiuli said, "Tiantian, it's okay. If you don't like it, then don't eat it. Look how good Uncle Liu and Jingze are to you. Dishes you don't like are never served at home. My parents-in-law and husband can't do that. They often cook dishes I don't like."
The more Zhang Xiuli thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and even the words she spoke were mixed with resentment. It was probably not just this one thing that made her feel aggrieved.
Huang Jiekang's eyes were a little sharp and angry when he heard this. He wanted to say something but didn't, and his face looked a little ugly.
Xiao Boyang tried to smooth things over: "Everyone, hurry up and eat. The host will be coming over to toast soon. It's going to be really lively tonight."
Liu Jingze said, "Table 81, our table won't be here soon. Speaking of drinking, sister-in-law, Huilin, remember to help my Tiantian at the buffet later. She doesn't drink lately."
Zhang Xiuli's mood seemed to recover instantly. Having been in the business world for years, one can sometimes manage to maintain a level of composure. She jokingly said, "Of course I'll help. I wonder how Mr. Liu can thank me?"
Liu Jingze said: "I want my wife Liu to chat and go shopping with you more often in the future?"
Xiao Huilin said: "Jingze, stop joking. Your wife Liu is free, and you can't wait to accompany her. You even asked her to chat and go shopping with your sister-in-law more often. Sister-in-law, put forward other conditions."
Zhang Xiuli said, "If there's business that's suitable for my company in the future, just introduce it to me. But don't worry, you don't have to thank me too much, I'll help you drink. After all, Tiantian and I are good friends."
Xiao Huilin smiled a little reluctantly: "I don't dare to put forward any conditions. After all, I'm afraid that Mr. Liu will get angry and take a vacation, pushing all the work to me."
Liu Jingze just looked at Su Tiantian with a calm gaze and a gentle smile.
