Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

Xu Dacan drank beer quietly, gazing into the distance, looking at the Hong Kong of this era, comparing it with his memories of coming to Hong Kong in his previous life, and felt dazed.

Xu Damao, on the other hand, was very restless. He finished his beer in a few gulps and asked boldly, "Brother, do you think Lou Xiao'e will detain me in Hong Kong?"

Xu Dacan finally came back to his senses and looked at Xu Damao with disdain: "She only takes you to high society cocktail parties, shows, movies, amusement parks, and rides the Ferris wheel with you...

She will just sugarcoat you to keep you here. After all, she wants to win your heart and the father of her child."

"..."

Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e came back, followed by two waiters.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to them - they were a pair of twins, wearing the same uniform, tall and sweet-looking. It was hard to tell where Lou Xiao'e had gotten these two darlings from.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth, Xu Dacan almost broke down: "Boss Zhu, Second Zhu, do what I just taught you."

Xu Dacan expressed contempt for her ruthless behavior.

Lou Xiao'e seemed to see through his thoughts. After the twins left, she whispered to him teasingly, "Why, are you interested?"

Xu Dacan would never indulge her: "So what? Xu Xiao and Xu Fei each get one?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for 5 seconds before she picked up her bag and hit him, scaring Xu Dacan so much that he kept dodging.

"I told you that you are talking nonsense. They came here illegally. Because they were so beautiful, they were almost sold to Portland Street. I saved them!"

Xu Dacan thought to himself, good guy, if you want to do good things, just do them, why do you start fighting when you have a disagreement?

He had seen with his own eyes before that Lou Xiao'e had a hammer and a wrench in her bag. What was she planning to do?

I have to say that Lou Xiao'e's execution ability is really high. It has only been a short time, and the sisters "Big Zhu, Second Zhu" have already met the requirements.

Xu Dacan also gave pointers on some small details based on his experience in his previous life, which was basically no different from the turndown service in a hotel in the future.

Having done this, Lou Xiao'e mobilized her family's resources to help him and Damao get passes and invited them to travel here; and she also helped Chen Jun to meet with Panasonic and contact the SMT production line, and the favor was basically repaid.

No matter what, she and Xu Damao are divorced and can never go back to the way they were before.

We can no longer insist on letting the meat rot in the pot like before. Otherwise, it would be unfair to both Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe.

"..."

In the evening, Lou Xiao'e hosted a party at the Fulin Hotel.

"Dacan, their signature dish 'Ayi Abalone' is internationally renowned and is a top-notch restaurant in Hong Kong. They use the best dried abalone and simmer it over a clay pot and charcoal. The abalone is soft, glutinous, smooth and chewy. It is seasoned with old hen, Jinhua ham and other seasonings to create a rich flavor..."

Unconsciously, Lou Xiao'e treated Xu Dacan as a VIP guest.

She first introduced the background of the restaurant to Xu Dacan, then looked at the children and said, "My dears, don't be restrained when you are here, and treat this place as your own home. The rich people here pay attention to "rinsing the mouth with shark fin and eating abalone with rice". Today, let's enjoy the life of the rich too!"

The menu of this restaurant is very thick, covering everything from expensive dishes to homely stir-fries. The soups are rich, the fish maw is soft and glutinous, the shark fin is delicious, and even the ordinary stir-fries are cooked to perfection...

Lou Xiao'e also had someone open a bottle of particularly expensive red wine.

Of course, it’s not some common product like “Lafite 82” that has been sold out for decades. Besides, what’s so great about the red wine from the year before last?

While sobering up, Xu Dacan told a few kids a joke: "You guys are so miserable as high school students. You have to sober up after you open the wine, and you have to go to school right after you sober up. Oh~!"

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that her eyes were wide open, and Xu Wenwen was so angry that her cheeks were puffed up like a cute hamster.

Xu Fei and Xu Wenyue covered their faces at the same time, and Xu Damao almost made Bai Ye laugh...

After making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, Xu Dacan whispered to Lou Xiaoe, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do? You're treating me to abalone worth tens of thousands of dollars and you're opening a bottle of red wine worth thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Are you trying to intimidate me and my brother?"

Lou Xiao'e followed his example, rolling her eyes almost to the back of her head: "Just based on the few words you casually pointed out to me this afternoon, their value far exceeds this meal. Moreover, we are still real relatives, why don't you want to recognize your nephew's mother?"

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e continued: "I originally wanted to invite you to my home for a meal and meet my mother; it was she who called me and told me that "Xu Dacan and Xu Damao are the most distinguished guests of our family" and asked me to entertain you with the highest standards of etiquette tonight!

I will arrange a formal meeting with you tomorrow."

After Lou Xiaoe finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone from her bag and said, "I'll use this to make the call! How about it? Do you feel relieved now?"

This dinner tonight finally allowed Lou Xiao'e to get back on her feet and regain some face.

Seeing the children eating cautiously yet unable to stop, Lou Xiao'e finally regained her sense of superiority.

But when she looked at Xu Dacan again, the little bit of pitiful sense of superiority that she had finally gathered was shattered once again.

Abalone, shark fin, shark's fin, and other fish are just common things nowadays.

Another thing is that they only know how to blindly imitate Western food and have learned all the tricks of Western unscrupulous businessmen. They think they are being polite, but in fact they are just trying to save face and suffer.

They think they are high-end, but in fact they are not as good as the separate dining system we had before the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the distant past, just take the part about Princess Tongchang recorded in "Taiping Guangji" as an example. There were often more than a hundred dishes at a banquet.

The reason why the dishes are served in small plates is that there are too many varieties. If you don’t control the quantity, you will be full before the rest of the dishes are served.

I won’t talk about the well-known ones, let’s just talk about this staple dish called “Qingfeng Rice”.

Crystal clear steamed rice, also called "crystal rice", is mixed with bayberry powder, borneol, cheese and other ingredients, and then placed in an ice pool to cool thoroughly. It is specially used by dignitaries to cool down in the summer.

This staple food alone is beyond the imagination of those country bumpkins in Europe.

It's ridiculous that we have fallen to the point where a tire seller defines food...
