After deciding where to go, several people worked together to finalize the date of departure.
In fact, after the final summary meeting, Wu Xiaolang, Su Xue, Chrysanthemum, and Zhou Song, the fat man, had already blown the wind in front of their parents, saying that the class was going to organize a summer camp or something, but the parents did not arrange their summer itinerary.
After Wu Xiaolang goes home and contacts his cousin and makes sure that there is nothing wrong there, Zhao Ling will book a plane ticket, and five days later, the six of them will meet at the airport.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Soon it was noon, and everyone came to the restaurant of Chrysanthemum's house.
The dining room of the chrysanthemum family is larger than the living room of Wu Xiaolang's house, and the decoration style is mainly warm colors, and the surrounding walls are pasted with dark red gold pattern wallpaper, and there is a wide and long square table in the middle, and the square table is a bright chandelier.
Wu Xiaolang and Zhao Ling each sat at the long table.
The long table is of dense oak with a strip of intricately embroidered brocade with several pots of flowers in the center. The head of the grandfather's family naturally sat at the head of the long table, followed by grandma and Zhao Ling sitting face to face, Zhao Ling was next to Su Xue, Su Xue and Chrysanthemum were facing each other, and Wu Xiaolang was beside him.
The fat man and Zhou Song sat opposite Wu Xiaolang.
Since it is a long table, the style of this meal should be Western-style, although it has not yet been served, you can see the layers of gold-rimmed plates and knives and forks of various specifications in front of everyone, as well as the large and small goblets in the middle of the table.
Wu Xiaolang couldn't help but be a little nervous, he had eaten Western food, but he only made a pair of knives and forks when he ate Western food, looking at the row next to the plate, there were three pairs of knives and forks, large and small, long and short, he had a big head for a while.
Not to mention knives and forks, he didn't know how to use the layers of plates and bowls in front of him, and he was afraid that if he used it wrong, he would make some jokes.
"Alas, rich people are just exquisite!"
Sighing slightly, Wu Xiaolang also secretly glared at the fat man and Zhou Song who were sitting opposite, complaining that these two goods did not sit next to him when they chose the seat just now.
Although the two of them are not as wealthy as Chrysanthemum, they are also the boss's sons, and they have more than they have seen in the world, and they can also teach themselves how to use these knives, forks, plates and bowls when they sit next to them!
"There's no way, just learn from the fat man and Zhou Song when you eat!"
Looking at the fat man and Zhou Song with a calm face, Wu Xiaolang was full of helplessness, although Su Xue was sitting next to him, he was embarrassed to ask Su Xue this.
β¦β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure? Then I'm going to try the skills of this famous French chef later! β
Zhao Ling is talking and laughing with his grandparents generously, although Zhao Ling is all kinds of naΓ―ve in front of Wu Xiaolang in private, but when it comes to this kind of formal occasion, Zhao Ling's temperament as an adult is revealed, and he is not stage frightened at all, which is in stark contrast to Wu Xiaolang's youthfulness.
Looking at the chrysanthemum Su Xue and even Zhou Song, they were so natural, but they were sitting in a precarious position, and they didn't even dare to move, Wu Xiaolang suddenly felt inexplicably inferior in his heart.
Zhao Ling here is the mayor's daughter, Su Xue's family is illustrious, and the fat man Zhou Song is also a rich young master, but he is just an ordinary child whose parents' monthly salary is not worth a meal for others.
It's so lonely and embarrassing!
No wonder Dad doesn't want to have deep friendships with those rich businessmen, if he is in such an environment all day long, Dad will inevitably fall into corruption no matter how strong his self-control is!
It seems that in the future, we should try to avoid going to the chrysanthemum fat man Zhou Song's house as a guest.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Little Lang ......"
Wu Xiaolang was aggrieved on the side, and suddenly heard Su Xue calling him in a low voice, turned his head to look, and saw Su Xue pinching the corners of his clothes and dragging them.
After Su Xue saw Wu Xiaolang turn around, she approached Wu Xiaolang slightly and whispered, "Will you use this tableware?" I...... Haven't used it. β
Wu Xiaolang was stunned.
It turns out that Su Xue won't use these tableware!
With the goddess with him, Wu Xiaolang instantly no longer felt lonely.
Wu Xiaolang recovered a little bit of his expression and replied in a low voice: "I won't either, but it doesn't matter, we can learn from Fat Man and Zhou Song." After speaking, he gestured to Su Xue to the fat man and Zhou Song who looked relaxed and calm.
"Hmm."
Su Xue and Wu Xiaolang glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
Soon, a few tall foreign chefs with tall noses in white chef uniforms came over with a dining cart, Wu Xiaolang and Su Xue looked at the fat man and Zhou Song a little nervously, they just hoped that the fat man and Zhou Song would not move too fast when they were dining later!
"Grandpa......"
Before the chef could serve the food, the fat man tucked the napkin into his neckline and raised his hand to call grandpa as if he were asking a question in class.
"Oh, little fat man, do you have any questions?" Grandpa was pleasant.
Zhao Lingwu, Xiaolang, and Su Xue also looked at the fat man in puzzlement.
"That ......"
The fat man fiddled with the napkin under his neckline and frowned, "I want to ask, we have so many knives, forks and plates and bowls in front of us...... How do you use it? β
The fat man gestured to his grandfather, and Zhou Song also followed: "Yes, in fact, a pair of knives and forks is enough......"
Hearing this, before grandpa spoke, Wu Xiaolang and Su Xue suddenly glanced at each other helplessly.
I'll go!
It turns out that the fat man and Zhou Song can't use it! It's a shame that they pretended to be so confident.........
"Hahaha......"
Grandpa laughed loudly, Zhao Ling also shook his head at the two with a smile, and grandma leaned forward slightly, looking at the fat man Zhou Song and Wu Xiaolang Su Xue and explained to them gently: "Formal Western food is divided into the front meal, the main meal and the dessert after the meal, and these knives, forks, spoons and dishes are divided by this. It's really troublesome, you can just feel free, it's okay, there are no outsiders here. β
"Hey, hey! There are also fat people, and the napkin is spread on the legs, not tucked into the collar! β
Chrysanthemum laughed on the side, although grandparents would never laugh at the fat man Zhou Song, but Chrysanthemum's smile was not so polite, it is estimated that she will laugh at the fat man for a semester in the future.
Wu Xiaolang and Su Xue immediately looked at each other, fortunately, the two of them didn't learn to stuff the napkin into the collar just now.
"Grandma said casually, I tucked the napkin into the collar! Hum! β
The fat man's unconvincing words suddenly made the atmosphere at the table relaxed, and everyone was no longer restrained.
"Grandparents, in fact, we don't use so many knives and forks."
Su Xue and Wu Xiaolang confessed embarrassedly, and Wu Xiaolang even said more: "It's better for us to be Chinese, a pair of chopsticks can do anything!" Hey! β
Having said that, Wu Xiaolang also knew that the reason why the Chrysanthemum family prepared so many tableware was not to deliberately embarrass them, but to show the importance and respect for the guests, so the table manners were not sloppy at all.
"Oh? Since Meng Yu Xiaoyou said so, then let's just change the chopsticks to eat this Western food, right? β
Grandpa suddenly came to be interested, everyone's eyes also lit up, they are all Chinese, and everyone is naturally used to using chopsticks when eating.
