Chapter 580: Celebration Banquet, First Experience of Western Food

During the ten-day trade fair, several children were busier than Song Fuyu.

I originally wanted to take them out for some fun, but they just didn't want to leave the venue.

"Fourth Aunt, why don't you take Ping Ping An back to have some rest? Ping Ping is always making trouble here."

Yan Chengxu had no idea how many times he had picked up Pingping and handed her to Song Fuyu with an angry look on his face.

"He always plays inside clothes, or runs to my brother's place to put on shoes. He refuses to wear shoes that fit him, and insists on wearing adult shoes and dragging them around everywhere."

If he wasn't his cousin, he would have wanted to spank him.

"Why is Pingping so mischievous?"

She took the child and nodded his head with a smile.

"Mom, play."

"Still playing, my brother is angry."

"Brother, smile."

"You keep making trouble, and I can't laugh."

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll hold him and prevent him from causing trouble for you."

"Fourth Aunt, you have to hold on tight."

"knew."

Song Fuyu held his son in his arms and sat on a chair. He gave him a washed peach, peeled off some of the skin, and let him eat it by himself.

"Son, you are disliked, do you know that?"

"What's wrong? Did Pingping make the brothers angry again?"

"He's just a little troublemaker."

"Even when others are angry, he remains cheerful. It doesn't affect his play or his appetite."

"This is good, much better than those crying kids."

..........

The trade fair ended successfully. That evening, Song Fuyu fulfilled her promise and took her family and employees to the largest Western restaurant in Guangzhou.

"Oh, Director Song, luckily you reminded us to change into more formal clothes. These waiters are all wearing white shirts and black trousers. If you don't know better, you might think they are guests."

"Just looking at the decoration, I thought I was in the palace."

The decoration here is not as luxurious as that of the imperial palace, but it is many times better than the state-owned restaurants they usually go to.

Because there were so many of them, Song Fuyu asked Jin Kai to come over in advance and reserve eight six-seater tables.

"There's a menu on the table, you guys can take a look, don't be polite, you can order whatever you want to eat or whatever you're curious about. If you don't have to rush back tomorrow, you can have a drink."

“Why is everything on this menu in English?”

"Aren't there small Chinese characters underneath?"

“Yes, it is, but after seeing it, I can’t figure out what kind of dish it is.”

"Hiss~"

“Is that the price of the dish?”

"Oh my goodness, a glass of water costs 20 cents."

"Wrong, they are priced in US dollars."

"I won't order it. I don't dare. It's too expensive. It's just a rip-off."

"Director Song, you should order it."

In the end, the arduous task of ordering food fell on Song Fuyu.

She directly ordered three sets of meals for each table, and then added some main dishes, drinks and desserts.

"Fu Yu, is this too much?"

"Not much. I guess I still won't be full. Even though there are a lot of them, the portion of each one should be just a tiny bit."

“It’s too expensive. I even think it’s a bit corrupt.”

Jin Kai thought he was usually very generous, but after seeing it today, he realized that he was still too inexperienced.

"It's okay. The main purpose of today's celebration banquet is to bring everyone to experience something they have never experienced before, so that they can share something new with their families when they go back."

"Besides, our customers are all foreigners, so we should learn more about what they like to eat."

"It seems to make sense when you put it that way."

When the food came, everyone was shocked again.

The amount was just as Song Fuyu said, it couldn't be any smaller.

The presentation of the dish was very delicate and beautiful, so delicate that they were too embarrassed to touch it.

"Director Song, how should we use this knife and fork?"

"Fork on the left, knife on the right. But now we are all family, so we are not so particular. Just do whatever is convenient. If you are really not used to using a knife and fork, you can just eat with your hands."

She felt that the rules were made by people and there was no need to make things difficult for herself, as it was not an etiquette test.

Once people started eating it, they didn’t have so many concerns anymore since no one understood it anyway.

"Grandpa and grandma, are you still used to eating this?"

"That's great. We are already very happy that you can bring us here to experience it."

Although it was definitely not the taste they were used to, the old couple would never spoil Song Fuyu's fun.

Just like she said, the main purpose is to provide an experience. If you don't like the food, you can just not come next time.

"Aunt Four, I'm used to it."

"Me too!"

“This cake and this ice cream are both delicious.”

"I love these chicken wings, and these fries are also delicious with this ketchup."

"If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, order more."

"Xiao Yu, only you will spoil them."

"This is not pampering. They have been working very hard during this period. I promised to treat them to a good meal, so I must keep my promise."

"right!"

"Grandma, Fourth Aunt is a very honest person. She would never lie to us or play tricks on us."

"When you grow up and can make money, you must remember the kindness of your fourth aunt and show her respect, understand."

"Know."

"We should also respect our grandmother, great grandfather and great grandmother."

"Respect me!"

Pingping's mouth was full of oil, but he still raised his hand to interrupt.

"You stinky bastard, you are my younger brother, you should be the one to respect me!"

"If you hadn't been so naughty these past few days, I would have definitely behaved better. I really want to spank your little butt."

"No fight!"

"Mom, brother beats me."

"Okay, brother is just kidding you. When they really hit you, it was because you were a little troublemaker and often hit them hard."

"Eat quickly."

The group of people ate from 6:30 to almost 9 o'clock. When they came out of the restaurant, everyone still felt it was a little unreal, like a dream. They couldn't believe that they went into such a luxurious place and had such an expensive dinner.

On the way back, Ping Ping An fell asleep.

The two of them kept smacking their lips, as if they were savoring the food they had just eaten.

"Xiao Yu, are we going to give them a bath later?"

"No need to wash them, just wipe them. After taking a bath, you might wake up from sleepiness and won't be able to sleep until midnight."

"Mom, eat."

"Okay, mom will eat, and you go to sleep."

"Haha, this little guy must be eating in his dreams."
