"No food? What's out of food?"
Shi Le looked puzzled.
When he came in, Chen Yan had already eaten all the dishes served.
A constant stream of waiters were collecting the plates.
So Shi Le only knew that Chen Yan had eaten in the private room before, but he didn't know how much Chen Yan had eaten.
It was natural that I couldn't understand why Jixiang suddenly said that there was no food left.
"All the ingredients prepared by the kitchen have been eaten. There's nothing left to cook right now, unless... unless we borrow some non-specially supplied ingredients from other stores. But those ingredients won't be as fresh as what we usually eat. And the chef is really exhausted today. If we continue, I'm afraid he'll go on strike..."
An embarrassed look appeared on Jixiang's face, and he continued, "Brother Le, you know that I, a chef, had to sacrifice my reputation to hire him. He is from a famous family. If our family is not powerful, it would be nonsense to invite him to cook in a nightclub like ours.
To him, this is essentially an insult. That's why I usually treat him with kindness and never dare to say a harsh word. Today, he worked so hard for a long time, leading the team to prepare all the ingredients. He's never had such a workload before."
The look of doubt on Shi Le's face became even more intense.
He said in confusion, "Wait a minute, have all the ingredients in the kitchen been eaten? Who ate them all? Although your kitchen usually doesn't prepare much food, it can still provide dinner for hundreds of people. We came so early today, is it possible that someone really came to your nightclub just for dinner? Even if there is such a thing, one or two private rooms are too many, right? Isn't it too much to have hundreds of people coming at once?"
Jixiang said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Brother Le, look at what you said. Who has nothing better to do than come to my nightclub to eat? Those ingredients are all prepared for us. If it weren't for the best food for our gathering, why would I prepare those ingredients? Why would I bother to invite a real chef? Can't we just cook something casually for outsiders?
All of this was eaten by the guy next to you. I never imagined someone could eat so much. You didn't see him because you were on the phone outside. This guy is truly a person of appearances. His stomach is like a bottomless pit. It seems like no matter how much food is given, he can easily eat it down. I've never seen such a big eater in my life! If this guy went to a buffet, he would definitely eat the buffet owner out of business!
Shi Le was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Yan, his eyes full of inquiry.
Chen Yan said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I can't help it. I was a little hungry, and the portions in this restaurant are really too small. A dish is basically gone in two or three bites. It doesn't satisfy my hunger at all, so I ate so much while eating. It wasn't intentional."
"Not intentional? Well... it's a bit weird to describe your appetite as intentional or unintentional."
Shi Le smiled and stopped talking about serving the food. He gave Jixiang another order: "Then just bring up the good wine. Then have someone go out and buy some peanuts. Peanuts will go well with the wine, and that should be enough. After all, drinking is never just about drinking. It's about drinking with people who are worth drinking with."
Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, turned around and immediately left the private room to make arrangements.
Soon, a large number of various famous wines were brought in one after another.
Shi Le put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders, pulled Chen Yan back to sit on the sofa, then waved his hand to call Gu Zhijie over to open the wine.
Gu Zhijie really didn't want to serve like a waiter, but he didn't dare to disobey Shi Le's wishes, so he could only come to the side reluctantly and open the wine one by one according to Shi Le's wishes.
There was no beer on the table.
In addition to white wine and foreign liquor, there are also some beverages that are used to blend the flavors with foreign liquor.
Two large glass containers were placed on the table, each of which could directly hold three kilograms of liquid.
Normally, if you use foreign liquor and beverages to blend the flavors, then the proportion of beverages will definitely be much larger.
Unexpectedly, at Shi Le's request, Gu Zhijie poured almost a one-to-one ratio of foreign liquor and beverage into the glass container...
Although the taste will be much softer, this ratio does not adjust the alcohol content to be comfortable. When you really drink it... it is easier to get drunk!
"Come on, Chen Yan, let's have a drink first. You can try to see if you can accept this alcohol content. If you can, we can drink it this way. If you can't accept it, then you can only drink one drink. We can also drink the wine we are familiar with. You can drink beverages or mineral water later. But for this first drink, you have to give me some face."
After Shi Le asked Gu Zhijie to fill two wine glasses, he picked up one of the glasses, raised his glass and spoke to Chen Yan with a smile.
Chen Yan raised his glass and clinked it with Shi Le's, saying sincerely, "Don't worry, Brother Le, I can still hold a bit of alcohol. Since you've praised me so highly, I certainly won't let you down. Tonight I'm not holding back. I'll drink as much as you have, and I'll definitely drink with Brother Le until he's happy."
After saying that, Chen Yan tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Shi Le was very happy and drank every drop of the wine in the glass, then asked Gu Zhijie to continue pouring wine.
At this time, the other people in the private room saw Shi Le start drinking, so they all came over, surrounded Shi Le and Chen Yan, and prepared drinks together. Then, according to their status in the circle, they raised their glasses in turn and made formal self-introductions to Chen Yan again.
Chen Yan doesn't put on airs at all.
No matter who raised the glass to toast, he would drink the whole glass, drinking it whole and refreshingly. Even though he actually drank a lot more than others after all these rounds, he did not hesitate at all when he raised the glass to drink.
Such a bold way of drinking quickly won the favor of everyone in the private room.
Of course, we have to admit that the basis of this goodwill comes from Shi Le's attitude.
If Shi Le didn't seem to attach extraordinary importance to Chen Yan, they wouldn't have any emotional ups and downs even if Chen Yan drank himself to death.
But with Shi Le's endorsement, Chen Yan's status in everyone's mind was infinitely elevated. In this case, his way of drinking was so real that it seemed quite different.
"Come on, Zhijie, give Chen Yan three cups of apology wine. The unpleasantness that happened between you two will be in the past."
After finishing a round of acquaintance wine, Shi Le suddenly looked at Gu Zhijie who had been serving and pouring wine beside him and said.
