Chapter 181 Plump
Seeing the beauty of a combination of Chinese and Western styles, in an instant, Xia Ning understands what is called “brightening the house by one’s presence”.
Because of her, the whole room becos shining, as if it is infused with the energy of life.
Gu Luan gives the woman a hug and makes an introduction, “Pingping, let introduce to you. This is Yin Jingyao, a daughter of Mayor Yin of B City. This is my sister. This is Commander Yi from C Military Region and this is his wife, Xia Ning. Everybody, this is my old friend for years, the owner of Yijunxuan, Zhou Wenping, a real beauty.”
“Ah. Director Gu, what are you saying? I can’t be called a real beauty. Look, which one sitting here is not a real beauty? Are you making fun of ?”
“Who dare make fun of you?” Gu Luan laughs, “Look, you have a houseful of guests on the first day of opening. Your restaurant can definitely beco the representative of catering in C City in the future.”
“Haha, Director Gu, you are a sweet talker. I feel happy to talk to you. Anyway, thank all my friends. Without you guys, I can’t even open the restaurant.”
“It is our pleasure. Pingping, you just take it.” Gu Luan pauses, “Pingping, I have invited these people for you here. And I really appreciate Commander Yi, who spares so ti to co here. Pingping, how will you hospitality for that?”
Zhou Wenping glances at Yi Yunrui. She blinks her slanted eyes, “It is the opening day for my restaurant. This al is on . If my distinguished guests feel the dishes here not bad, please co again in the future.”
“Pingping, I may feel embarrassed about that...”
“You feel embarrassed about many things!” Zhou Wenping winks at Gu Luan and then she turns to others, “Everyone, I have a little request. Would you please give your honest comnts after dinner? Then I can make further improvents. Especially,” Zhou Wenping pauses here, “Especially Commander Yi. I heard a long ti ago that Commander Yi is a gourt!”
Hearing this, everyone is shocked. Is Yi Yunrui a gourt?
Xia Ning is surprised. She then at once has a strange feeling.
She is not surprised that Yi Yunrui is a gourt. After all, Hokkaido Sushi restaurant and Lung King Heen hotel are two international grade restaurants. What makes her feel surprised is that how could Zhou Wenping know that Yi Yunrui is a gourt?
Does Zhou Wenping know that the two high restaurants are owned by Yi Yunrui?
“Well. Pingping,” Gu Luan reacts first, “No wonder that you insist in inviting Commander Yi to co. It turns out you have the plan. Why didn’t you tell at the beginning?”
Zhou Wenping smiles, “Commander Yi is a famous person in C City. I don’t want to cause any rumors to him.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Did you know each other before?”
Gu Luan asks the questions for all the people there. Zhou Wenping smiles, “What’s the surprise? In C City, who has no interests in the three brothers of Yi Family? There is a saying called “grapevine”. Director Gu, you understand it.”
Gu Luan smiles helplessly. He nods, “Well. I understand it and I may stop being confused. However, it really surprises .”
At the ti, Manager Kong cos in and says sothing in a low voice by Zhou Wenping’s ear. Zhou Wenping says, “Everybody, it is late. Why don’t we get the dishes served?”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo widens her eyes and continuously nods. She is almost starving to death.
The catering philosophy of Yijunxuan is to focus on the special family dishes all over the country to et different demands of people from different areas. Based on the family dishes, they add so high-grade catering culture and offer the custors with high grade service in middle grade prices.
The dishes for them are specially ordered by Zhou Wenping herself. The first served dish is the soft-boiled chicken, then, stewed pork with taro, stir-fried green vegetable and black mushroom, stead white pork, stead mandarin fish, stewed goose with three cups of sauces, sweet and sour spareribs, stir-fried crab with ginger and scallion, braised beef brisket with radish and fried Sanxin spring onion rolls, followed by a bowl of cordyceps chicken soup.
The dishes don’t seem to be very high end, but all of them are famous Cantonese ho dishes. Looking at the whole table of dishes, everyone’s appetite is roused.
Xia Ning happens to like them all. There are so many dishes. She puts so into her mouth while her eyes are caught by others.
Yi Yunrui is aware of Xia Ning’s excitent. He helps to pick food for her. In a while, the bowl in front of Xia Ning is full of foods.
Yi Yunrui’s consideration to Xia Ning makes Yin Jingyao envy. She puts on a false smile, “Commander Yi is very considerate. But, Xia Ning, you really eat a lot. If you continue to eat like this, your body will be out of shape. If you get fat, you will be laughed at by other people when you walk with Commander Yi in the future.”
Yin Jingyao’s sudden words sound very uncomfortable. Xia Ning swallows the food in her mouth, “I believe that my husband doesn’t care. He said that he liked to be plump. Isn’t there a saying? If the wife is too thin, people tend to believe that the husband bullies the wife? Thus, I think we can get easy at it.”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will talk back like this, Yin Jingyao is stuck and can’t say a word in an instant.
At the ti, Gu Luan picks a piece of mandarin fish for Yin Jingyao, “Miss Yin, have more fish. It is good for health. It can also beautify skin.”
Yin Jingyao curls her lips. She looks at the mandarin fish in her bowl for quite a while and doesn’t respond.
Instead, Gu Ruoruo says, “Commander Yi, Sister Xia, will Brother Yi mind my getting fat? I am a real food aficionado.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui can’t help laughing. Xia Ning says, “You Silly, our second brother is not that kind of person. Don’t worry. Darling, am I right?”
Yi Yunrui nods, “All our three brothers like our won to be plump. That will be cute.”
Gu Ruoruo widens her eyes in surprise, “Really? That is great. I don’t need to diet. Haha.”
“Dieting is unnecessary, but you can’t eat too much. Co on. Wipe your mouth.” Gu Luan says and passes a tissue to Gu Ruoruo.
They are enjoying the food when Zhou Wenping cos in, “My distinguished guests, do you mind my sitting here?”
Gu Luan glances at everyone and responds, “Of course not. What instructions does the boss have?”
Zhou Wenping says, “Director Gu, you are making fun of again. I co here to ask for your comnts and suggestions on these dishes.”
“Delicious. They are delicious. I like them very much.” Gu Ruoruo complints first.
“Thank you, Ruoruo. There is a dessert to be served later. I hope you will like it.”
“Seriously? Wow. Thank you.”
Zhou Wenping glances at them and her eyes stay at Yin Jingyao. She blinks her eyes, “I wonder whether Miss Yin has any comnts on the dishes of Yijunxuan.”
