"Brother Ye, are you free tonight? I have a dinner party here with some business friends. Are you interested in joining? "
Liu Fusheng's slightly hoarse unique voice came from the phone.
"Haha, Brother Fu, since you've said so, even if I'm not free, I have to make time. What's more, I'm very free anyway. But, isn't it inappropriate for me to attend your dinner party?"
Ye Xiaochen knew that she was a bit introverted and did not like to interact with others, but she had to change if she wanted to run a farm.
In the business field, communication was necessary. She had to learn it.
"Then come over quickly. I'll wait for you in town."
Liu Fusheng said.
"Okay."
After Ye Xiaochen hung up the phone, she hurried back home and changed into a set of more formal clothes. In fact, it was just like that. It was less than 200 yuan from a street stall. As soon as she put it on, she felt unbearably hot.
Riding on a women's motorcycle, Ye Xiaochen went straight to Taiping Town.
After arriving, Ye Xiaochen left the motorcycle at Qingtian Supermarket and then got in Liu Fusheng's Mercedes-Benz car.
"Brother Ye, don't you feel hot wearing this?"
Liu Fusheng saw Ye Xiaochen's trousers and long sleeves and asked in amazement.
"Sweat, how can I not feel hot? Don't you see that I'm sweating?"
Ye Xiaochen touched the sweat on her forehead and said, "But I should dress more formally to attend your dinner party."
"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't matter if you dress casually. Don't you see that I'm wearing shorts and short sleeves?"
Liu Fusheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Xiaochen looked at Liu Fusheng's shorts and short sleeves and was very depressed.
After arriving at the county, Liu Fusheng drove the car to a roadside specialty store and asked Ye Xiaochen to quickly go in and choose a set.
Not long after, Ye Xiaochen came out wearing shorts and a T-shirt with a pained look on her face. She was carrying a plastic bag with all the clothes she had worn earlier inside.
This set of shorts and T-shirt cost him a few hundred dollars.
If he were in a normal shop, he would be able to get it for 100 yuan at most.
"Fu, where are we going?"
Ye Xiaochen saw Liu Fusheng driving quickly on the street, turning left and right, and finally entering the LC District. One look at the buildings here and one could tell that they had been there for many years.
"You'll know soon enough."
Liu Fusheng smiled.
The car drove into a large courtyard, and there were some cars parked inside.
"We're here."
Liu Fusheng got out of the car and said.
Ye Xiaochen thought that Liu Fusheng would take her to some big hotel for dinner. Unexpectedly, it was this kind of place. Could it be that there was a restaurant in this kind of place?
Soon, Ye Xiaochen learned that there really was a restaurant in this place, but it was a private kitchen.
The dishes here were all authentic local dishes, and generally only served the regular customers. Liu Fusheng said that the chef here was very famous, and his ancestor had once cooked for Zeng Guofan.
Ye Xiaochen was very surprised. She didn't expect that there was such a great chef hidden in the county. Since his ancestor could cook for Zeng Guofan, his cooking skills must be superb. Even if his ancestral cooking skills were not completely passed down, he must have some attainments.
No wonder Liu Fusheng didn't go to a big hotel for dinner, but came to this kind of place.
In a house with four bedrooms and two halls, the decoration was very distinctive. There was a table in each room.
In order to provide a better dining environment for the guests, each room was remodeled. The windows were much larger and installed with floor-to-ceiling glass. The front line of the balcony outside was filled with many potted plants, which not only made the room full of light, but also allowed the guests to enjoy the greenery outside.
There were guests in all four rooms.
In one of the rooms, there was a round table painted red with six chairs around it.
Other than Ye Xiaochen and Liu Fusheng, there were four other people, three men and one woman.
A big fatty with a big head and big ears smiled with his eyes narrowed into slits.
His name was Zhao Peng, the owner of a two-way KTV.
A skinny middle-aged man with a pair of gloomy eyes liked to tell dirty jokes. His name was He Lei, the owner of Longyou Coal Mine.
His name was Li Jiaren, and he was the owner of a large furniture store. His name was Li Jiaren.
The woman was called Xu Jiao, who looked to be in her forties and was the owner of Wanfu Jewelry Store.
Other than Ye Xiaochen, the five people present were all bosses with a net worth of over ten million.
They didn't seem to be surprised by Ye Xiaochen's arrival. Instead, they were very enthusiastic.
Ye Xiaochen wasn't used to it at first. She had never participated in this kind of gathering before, so she didn't have any common topics with them. She could only listen to their conversation, which was all about business.
"Brother Ye, come, let's have another toast."
The fat Zhao Peng raised his wine glass at Ye Xiaochen.
Ye Xiaochen rarely drank. She knew that it was impossible to attend such a gathering without drinking. It was also very difficult to integrate into such a small circle.
He drank a few glasses.
Of course, it was beer.
He definitely couldn't drink white wine.
After drinking a few glasses of beer on an empty stomach, Ye Xiaochen felt very uncomfortable. The smell of alcohol surged in her stomach, and she felt a little nauseous. Her head was also a little heavy.
"Old Zhao, the dishes haven't been served yet. Don't be in such a hurry."
Liu Fusheng said.
"Brother Ye, you can't do this. You have to practice your alcohol tolerance. In business, many people drink at dinners."
Zhao Peng could also tell that Ye Xiaochen couldn't handle the alcohol, so he spoke like an old man.
Ye Xiaochen looked at Liu Fusheng gratefully.
Finally, the dishes were served.
Stimulated by the aroma of the dishes, Ye Xiaochen felt much better.
"Brother Ye, eat more. When we eat and drink together, we never go home until we're drunk."
He Lei picked up a piece of pork with his chopsticks. The fatty meat was bright red, tender, and not greasy.
Although it was a very ordinary dish, it was extremely delicious.
Ye Xiaochen secretly complained. If she had known, she wouldn't have come.
However, she quickly turned her attention to the dishes that were served.
Braised pork, steamed pork ribs, mixed vegetables, fried duck … These were dishes that were usually served at banquets.
Cooked by the head chef of Lin's Private Kitchen, they were simply more delicious than delicacies.
Ye Xiaochen had never eaten such delicious dishes. She almost swallowed her tongue.
Halfway through the meal, the door of the room was pushed open, and an old man in a full chef's outfit walked in.
"Master Lin is here."
Seeing the chef come in, Liu Fusheng and the others who were drinking and eating stood up.
It was obvious that they respected this chef very much.
Ye Xiaochen glanced at this chef, Master Lin, and felt that he was a little familiar. She seemed to have seen him before, but she couldn't remember where.
"Everyone, do you like this dish?"
The old man, Master Lin, said with a smile.
Every time he finished a table of dishes, he would habitually ask for the opinions of the diners when the guests were halfway through the meal.
He wasn't just pretending. He hoped that the diners could find some problems so that he could come up with a better idea.
This had also become a major feature of Lin's Private Kitchen.
"Master Lin, I'll just say that the rice flour in this steamed pork ribs is a little sticky."
Zhao Peng took the lead and said.
"Yes, the rice flour is too sticky."
The assistant beside Master Lin quickly wrote it down with a pen and paper.
In this way, you asked one question, and I asked one question. Liu Fusheng and the other five answered all of them.
Finally, it was Ye Xiaochen's turn.
This was the usual practice. Usually, each person would say one question. Of course, this was not a mandatory requirement. The regular diners all knew that Master Lin liked to be criticized by others for his cooking skills.
It was Ye Xiaochen's first time eating such delicious dishes. How could she say any shortcomings?
If she were asked how good this dish was, she could definitely say a lot.
"Eh, it's you?"
When Master Lin's gaze fell on Ye Xiaochen, he was a little surprised at first. Then, he suddenly trembled and walked over quickly. He said excitedly, "Young man, did you sell vegetables in Da Ma Town?"
