Xia Chujian twirled the juice glass in his hand and said seriously, "Why can't I tell you? I'm giving you nobles some background information. When interacting with people like us at the bottom of society, you should follow our experiences to avoid being rude."
Quan Yuxun was almost amused by her: "...Were we being rude?"
Xia Chujian said confidently, "Of course. You're treating us to a meal, but you didn't investigate the guests' situation clearly, making them feel awkward and uncomfortable. Isn't that a disrespect on your part as the host?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
It’s true, what Xia Chujian said is not wrong.
Because when people like them entertain guests, they always do their homework before the party.
For example, what are everyone’s dietary preferences? Are there any dietary restrictions?
In addition, what grudges exist between the guests and how the seating should be arranged to make everyone feel at home are all common tests.
He originally thought that he had been humble and polite enough today, but after hearing what Xia Chujian said, he realized that he still had not reached the utmost.
The reason is that these four people are not worthy of being treated as "guests" by the Quan family.
For Quan Yuxun, who is used to taking everything into consideration, this is a huge loophole in his dealings with others.
I feel so tired.
Quan Yuxun pursed his lips and didn't want to talk anymore.
Fortunately, food started to be delivered to this box one plate at a time soon.
Quan Caiwei then introduced, "This is one of the three cold dishes. It's purple gall oysters from Jiuli Sea. They can only be eaten within three hours of being caught. After three hours, they become a puddle of clear water."
"This is also a cold dish, Snow Feather Foie Gras. It's taken from the Snow Feather Swans on the Taishi Mountain. It's steamed with Matsutake mushrooms and then refrigerated. It's incredibly delicious."
"There's another cold dish here, black armor beef carpaccio. It's from the primeval forest outside Changliu County. It's different from the unicorns from Guiyuan Star, but the meat is delicious and juicy, so it's only suitable for eating raw."
"Here are the hot dishes: Rainbow Shadow Scallops, Dragon Sea Urchin, Braised Unicorn Beef, Braised Tianchi Pork, Pan-fried Pork Blood Sausage, Green Easy Fruit Pan-fried Mandarin Duck, and puff pastry made with lobster meat stuffed with morels."
"And finally, the unicorn milk clam chowder."
"The dessert is Taesibong Fragrant Chestnut Cake. The fragrant chestnuts are a specialty there, each one as big as an egg. They're delicious whether eaten raw or made into cakes."
"The key is that it can be stored for a long time. It doesn't need to be kept at a low temperature. It has sufficient moisture and becomes sweeter and sweeter as it ages."
"If you want to bring some local specialties back, I recommend the fragrant chestnuts that are unique to Changliu County on Zangge Star."
The table was full of dishes.
Xia Chujian and his three roommates all found it curious.
Everyone started eating quickly, and the three roommates ate so much that they couldn’t even lift their heads.
However, after everyone tasted a little, Xia Chujian only ate the braised unicorn beef.
The good thing about this dish is that it doesn’t have any messy ingredients, and it mainly highlights the taste of the unicorn beef itself. Xia Chujian can still accept it.
In Xia Chujian's opinion, other dishes are more outstanding in appearance than in taste.
Each one looks like a wax sculpture, and tastes like wax, too.
Quan Caiwei ate with great interest and said to Xia Chujian, "Chujian, this is the best meal here. It's all made with our Quan family's own recipes..."
Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "This club belongs to your Quan family?"
Quan Caiwei smiled and winked at her: "...not on the surface."
Quan Yuxun sat between them and had already seen how Xia Chujian ate.
To be honest, if Quan Yuxun had never eaten at Xia Chujian's house, he would think Xia Chujian was pretentious and picky about food.
As a person who grew up in a poor family and only ate two meals a day, he should not be picky about food. That would be doubly pretentious.
But he had eaten the dishes cooked by Xia Chujian's aunt, so he could fully understand why Xia Chujian only ate clear-boiled unicorn beef.
In fact, this is the only dish he eats.
He had liked this dish very much before he had tasted it cooked by Aunt Xia Chujian.
There was a moment of complete silence at the table; no one spoke while they ate.
When everyone had eaten one-third of their meal, the opera on the opposite stage finally began.
When the curtain opens, it is also a lively scene.
On the stage, a group of men and women wearing heavy makeup and extremely luxurious and gorgeous dresses were waving small fans in their hands, dancing on tiptoes, and singing along with the melodious orchestral music.
The first person to sing was a woman wearing a "death Barbie pink" dress.
She should be the protagonist because she looks the most beautiful and has the best body proportions.
The Barbie pink that would be considered a scary color on others only made her skin look white as snow, delicate and lively.
