Just then, a low car horn sounded from outside the door, as if to remind people of its arrival.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the entrance, where a white van slowly pulled up in front of the courtyard house.
The car door opened, and a young man dressed in a white chef's uniform stepped out.
He was tall and slender with delicate features, and looked very energetic.
The young man stood beside the car, first craning his neck to look into the yard, then raised his voice and shouted loudly.
"Excuse me, is this Xiao Wei's country? I'm delivering food from XX Restaurant."
Hearing the shout, the people inside the house turned around.
Upon seeing this, Jiao Bai hurriedly ran over and responded with a big smile.
"Yes, yes, this is it. It's the food I ordered. Bring it in quickly."
The delivery guy clearly remembered Jiao Bai. When he saw him, he smiled and readily agreed.
Then, he turned around and opened the van door, and another young man who looked like a driver got out of the van.
The two men quickly unloaded two huge food boxes from the car. The food boxes were more than half a meter tall and looked very heavy.
They carefully carried the food box and struggled to walk into the yard.
"Excuse me, where should I put these?"
The young chef asked Jiao Bai with a smile.
Jiao Bai thought for a moment and then answered.
"Let's put it in the restaurant inside. It's more spacious there, and everyone can sit comfortably."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jian quickly stepped forward, offered to help carry the food boxes, and led the two into the dining room of the main house of the courtyard.
When the renovation was being carried out, Xiao Weiguo designed it entirely according to his own preferences. He was particularly fond of the ancient style, so he had the construction team decorate in that style.
As a result, the entire courtyard house exudes a simple and elegant atmosphere, as if one has traveled back to ancient times.
Most of the furniture, decorations, and partitions are handmade from wood. These wooden products are not only made of high-quality materials, but also have extremely exquisite carving techniques, with every detail showcasing the craftsmen's superb skills.
The exquisite patterns and textures make one marvel at the charm of ancient art, and the entire courtyard is filled with an antique atmosphere.
When the two restaurant staff members from the city stepped into the courtyard, they were clearly amazed by its exquisite luxury.
They originally thought there wouldn't be any special buildings in this remote and impoverished area, but the courtyard house in front of them completely overturned their expectations.
Stepping inside, a pleasant fragrance wafts through the air, instantly refreshing the mind and body.
The exquisite decorations placed everywhere are dazzling and overwhelming.
These displays include not only traditional porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, but also some rare antique treasures, each exuding a unique historical charm.
These two city folks seemed a bit like country bumpkins here, their eyes practically overflowing with wonder, completely captivated by the charm of this courtyard house.
The young chef walking ahead kept praising the chef.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!"
Although the young man behind him didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the envy on his face.
Xiao Jian smiled and led the way for them. He walked quickly to the front, skillfully pulled out the large table in the restaurant, and prepared to welcome the guests.
This dining table is ingeniously designed; it was custom-made and has unique functions.
When there are fewer people, the four corners can be easily tucked in, turning it into a small dining table for convenient daily use.
However, once a large number of people come to dine, simply pull out the four corners, and this table can instantly transform into a huge table that can accommodate a dozen or twenty people at the same time.
With a large number of people at today's gathering, Xiao Jian quickly pulled out the dining table and arranged it neatly.
When unfolded, this dining table is three meters long and one and a half meters wide, presenting a long and narrow shape.
Such a spacious table can fully meet everyone's dining needs.
Next, two young men from the restaurant came on stage. They skillfully opened the food boxes, and then plates of delicious dishes, each with its own unique color, aroma, and flavor, were neatly arranged on the table.
These dishes are not only visually appealing, but also incredibly fragrant, making them irresistible.
After all the food in the two large food boxes was served, the two young men did not stop, but hurriedly returned to the car and brought out two more large food boxes.
And so, the dishes from the four large food boxes were neatly arranged on the huge dining table, filling the entire table to the brim.
These dishes are a veritable feast of delicacies from land and sea, including chicken, duck, beef, and mutton. Each plate is still steaming hot, as if telling people how delicious they are.
Jiao Bai had already paid, and the two young men smiled and left after serving all the dishes.
In the courtyard, Xiao Weiguo greeted everyone after they left.
"Don't stand in the yard, let's sit down and eat and chat together."
With such a large and sumptuous meal, everyone was already eagerly anticipating it.
Xiao Weiguo's call to action was met with cheers and a rush of people toward the restaurant.
According to seniority, Xiao Feng and Gu Meiying should have been sitting in the main seats.
However, the couple resolutely refused and insisted on putting Xiao Weiguo in the head position.
Xiao Weiguo naturally wanted to decline, as he felt it was inappropriate.
But just as he was trying to struggle, Gu Meiying spoke up with a serious expression.
