In the crowd, Yu Bai's eyes moved slightly and glanced towards the entrance.
After a while, a figure in a smart professional suit hurried in. It was Qian Ying, the president of Gome.
She frowned slightly, as if she had just come out of an important meeting, and her face had a hint of fatigue that had not yet dissipated.
Qian Ying is extremely busy at work and always tries to turn down such purely social invitations whenever possible.
She had to give face to the Li family, but she only planned to send her assistant to deliver a gift.
If Yu Bai hadn't called her again two days ago.
Yu Bai's voice on the phone was tinged with mystery. "Teacher Qian, I've prepared some goodies for this banquet. They're even better than the incense I gave you. If it's convenient, why not bring your uncles, aunts, and family over to join in the fun?"
These words, like a small hook, accurately piqued Qian Ying's curiosity.
Her family has a large population and the elders are old, so the consumption of calming incense and refreshing incense is quite high.
It’s all thanks to Yu Bai that the incense sticks in her house never run out.
It is precisely because of this continuous use that Qian Ying understands the magic of these incenses best.
Her father and mother, who were in their eighties and had been walking with some difficulty, now walked much more smoothly and were in much better spirits than before.
All the minor ailments in my body gradually disappeared without me noticing, as if a dead tree came back to life in spring and regained its vitality.
The doctors were all amazed and said it was due to proper maintenance.
But Qian Ying knew in her heart that this was all thanks to Yu Bai's incense sticks!
Now Yu Bai said there was something even better... Qian Ying was almost immediately attracted.
If that were true, she would be willing to take not only her parents but also the whole family with her!
At this moment, she walked quickly towards Yu Bai, with an apologetic yet expectant smile on her face: "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry I'm late. There was a traffic jam on the road."
Yu Bai greeted her: "I'm very happy that you can come. Please come in, I specially reserved a quiet place for you and grandpa and grandma."
Qian Ying felt warm in her heart and was even more satisfied with Yu Bai's attentiveness and thoughtfulness.
Yu Bai looked at Qian Ying's back, his eyes flashing slightly.
The reason why she cared so much about Qian Ying was naturally not just because Qian Ying had given her some unintentional help in the past.
More importantly, it was for her elder brother Yu Sheng.
Qian Ying is the president of Gome Academy of Fine Arts. Her husband's family is a leading figure in the art world, with extensive connections and huge influence.
And Qian Ying is the most crucial stepping stone and the guiding light.
With this relationship, there is no need to worry about Big Brother Yu Sheng’s future.
The guests arrived one after another, and the banquet soon began with greetings and pleasantries.
The waiters filed in and began serving the dishes.
It is still the old custom of the Li family banquet, the first dish is a cold dish.
It was not a large plate to share, but rather a delicate small plate, one for each person, placed in front of them.
When the guests saw what was on the plate, a hint of disappointment flashed across their eyes.
The dish contained cold pig ears, cold pork skin strips, and a few crystal clear slices of cold pig head meat.
These dishes are too ordinary, some are even... not presentable.
An ordinary family wouldn't necessarily be so shabby when hosting a banquet, right?
The Li family manor is so magnificent, but the banquet is so simple?
However, when the first chopsticks took the bite, everyone's expression changed subtly.
The pig ears are crispy, chewy and springy, with a unique fragrance from the mountains. The pig skin is glutinous but not greasy, and rich in gelatin. The pig head meat is even more fragrant and tasty. The taste is completely different from the pork we are used to eating every day. There is no fishy smell, but instead it has an indescribable sweetness.
How can this be ordinary pork?
It's clearly a delicacy!
What is even more amazing is that after taking a few bites, a warm current rises from the stomach and quickly spreads to every part of the body, dispelling the slight chill of early autumn and leaving the whole body with an indescribable sense of comfort and lightness.
The slight tiredness and slight headache seemed to disappear quietly with these few bites of ordinary dishes.
Some older guests even felt their stiff joints warm up.
Qian Yingben was also a bit reserved. After all, she was the president of the China Academy of Fine Arts and had seen many delicacies.
But when she picked up a piece of pig ear as thin as a cicada's wing and put it into her mouth, her shrewd eyes lit up instantly!
This texture...this taste...is even more amazing than she imagined!
She couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks faster and savor the food carefully. The more she ate, the more frightened she became.
This is definitely not just the result of the ingredients, there must be some special trick!
Unfortunately, the portion for each person was really small, just a few slices, and they were all gone in no time.
Even Qian Ying felt a little unsatisfied. She believed Yu Bai's previous words "something better" a little more and looked forward to it even more.
She subconsciously looked towards Yu Bai who was sitting at the main seat. The girl was talking to the person next to her with a faint smile, as if she was completely unaware of the unusual movements at the table.
Fortunately, before the disappointment in everyone's hearts could spread, the second round of hot dishes arrived.
The tempting golden stewed spare ribs, the bright red sweet and sour spare ribs, the fragrant braised pork with preserved vegetables, with the preserved vegetables soaked up the gravy.
There was also a large pot of braised pork, each piece of which was stewed to be soft and chewy, with an even sauce color, and melted in the mouth...
For a moment, the only sounds at the table were the soft clatter of chopsticks against dishes, the suppressed gasps, and the murmurs of admiration.
The guests who had previously looked down on the cold dishes had now thrown away their reserve and stretched out their chopsticks, fearing that they would miss out on this delicious delicacy if they were a step slower.
The Li family's wild boar banquet is going to be a huge success!
