Mr. Minguo's kitchen

"Sir, it's almost time, we should set off." Liu Xiaodie shouted outside.

"Understood." Liwuyuan Xiaolan responded, put on a cloak and went out, he was still not used to Fengtian's weather, if the person who invited him was not really special, he would definitely not go out in the cold weather.

The master and the servant hired two rickshaws, and instead of going to Qianyuan Street, they went in the direction of the Chen Mansion.

"Sir, that day we were performing on the stage at Youfenglaiju in Xiangcheng, and someone from the restaurant gave us food. I can't forget the taste of that bowl of golden rice, Xiaodie. Don't tell me, people There is a reason why the high-end price is also high, even ordinary rice can be made into a god to eat."

Seeing his yearning look, Yuan Xiaolan felt amused, but she didn't make fun of him, because the restaurant they were going to have a banquet in was really unusual, and because she felt sorry for him not being able to eat delicious food this time.

Yuan Xiaolan, who was far away in Beiping, was invited to perform in Xiangcheng. Youfenglaiju was a restaurant that was not well-known in other provinces. It was only because of "New Life" that some fashionable gentlemen and ladies knew about it.At that time, he also agreed to come down because of Jingyou.Who knew at that time, within half a year, Youfeng Laiju opened a hotel in Fengtian, and even sent him a banquet invitation.

Thinking of his trip to Xiangcheng, Yuan Xiaolan recalled that Mr. Lin, and he sighed softly: "That Mr. Lin is quite accomplished in music, and I heard that he is still a talent who has studied abroad. I later pondered over the piece he collaborated with me. The more I can taste the novelty and ingenuity in it, I also made some changes to "The Drunken Concubine" based on this inspiration. It would be great if I could discuss it with him face to face, but it is a pity that I left in a hurry that day and couldn't make friends with him."

Liu Xiaodie didn't take it seriously, "Then Mr. will take the initiative today. I took a look at that Boss Lin from a distance. He is really pretty, and he must be a good person to get along with."

Yuan Xiaolan smiled, "You can't say that in front of Mr. Lin, you have to say it's a dragon and a phoenix."

The two chatted and laughed to the Chen Mansion, picked up Chen Jingyou and went to Qianyuan Street.Today is the Lantern Festival, and there is no limit to bringing people with the invitation card, so Yuan Xiaolan thought about asking people out to celebrate the festival together, and let Jing You taste the delicious food of Youfeng Laiju.Chen Jingyou readily agreed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a lantern festival on Qianyuan Street at night, so it is not deserted during the day.The three of them saw a restaurant at the crossroads from a distance. The front door was crowded with cars and people, and there were even soldiers carrying guns.

Yuan Xiaolan was surprised, what happened?Chen Jingyou reassured him, "I heard that this restaurant is related to the Marshal's Mansion, so nothing major will happen."

When the rickshaw entered, it turned out that it was tabloid reporters and spectators flocking to watch the excitement, and the soldiers were just maintaining order.

"Look! It's Empress Lan! My dear boy, what is the origin of Feng Laiju, who has invited so many big shots! Even Yuan Xiaolan is here! Which celebrity is next to him?"

"It's the eldest son of the Chen family in Beiping, and he and Yuan Xiaolan are best friends. I didn't expect that after the Chen family fell, the two of them would still be the same as before." The sharp-eyed reporter saw Yuan Xiaolan getting out of the rickshaw, and the shutters sounded densely, and again There was a commotion.

"The person who went in just now was Mr. Yuanfeng, who is also a top figure in the drama world! In addition, I didn't have time to shoot earlier. I heard that Zhang Yanwu and Zhang Guwen are twin stars in the literary world. Is this a gathering of the literary and art circles? "

Reporters in Shanghai are recognized as the most gossipy and daring in the industry. They even dared to expose the president's scandal. Fengtian's reporters were not too hot, so soldiers stopped them and dared not yell. Fortunately, some face-conscious guests enjoyed the much-anticipated ostentation.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for taking the time to come. This is Mr. Chen, I've seen you for a long time! Please come in, both of you."

Yuan Xiaolan handed the invitation card and gift to Mr. Zeng Baiyu who greeted the guests in front of the hotel, exchanged a few words and entered the hotel.

The reporters who were squeezed into roujiamo by their colleagues outside stared dumbfounded at the people attending the banquet in front of them. These are names that only appear in the news column of "Min Bao"!

"What are you doing in a daze! Take a picture, this is the big news this year! I have prepared the headline of the news, 'Celebrities from all walks of life gather for a feast, who is behind Youfeng Laiju!' Shoot everything clearly! Don’t worry about saving film, the editor-in-chief won’t scold us when we go back!”

"What a stroke of luck! I was planning to shoot the first Qianyuan Street Lantern Festival tonight, but I went out for a walk a few hours earlier, and I still caught such a big news! This month's prize money must have been lost!"

The reporters of political and gossip newspapers were ecstatic, and there were also some tabloid reporters who entered indiscriminately, "I don't know if this news can be published. After all, we are a fashion magazine. Forget it, let's shoot the scene that is rare in a hundred years! It's over!" There is no such store in this village! Not to mention that these gentlemen and ladies are all very nicely dressed!"

Suddenly the crowd fell silent, and a reporter who was rushing out was caught by his companion, who turned around in confusion: "Why are you dragging me? Hurry up to the front to shoot!"

His companion was confused, and pointed to the direction outside the street, "Help me see, is that Mr. Liu?"

One of the most obvious feelings for people who step into the hotel is that the warmth rushes to the face in an instant, dispelling the cold air.The waiters like Liu Xiaodie were left on the first floor. Yuan Xiaolan and Chen Jingyou, led by the welcome staff, came to the banquet hall on the top floor. Gentle music surrounded the entire hall. There were long robes and jackets, suits and leather shoes. There are many people.

Yuan Xiaolan is introverted and not sociable, but since agreeing to Jing You to help him revive the Chen family, she has dealt with all kinds of people, and now she is able to be generous in front of everyone and do a job with ease.

Lan Hou's reputation is not small, especially in the literary and art circles, he is recognized as a new generation of superstars, and he is greeted by people as soon as he enters.He and Chen Jingyou were seated at the old Mr. Yuanfeng's table. His skills were taught by the old man back then. Although he did not learn from a teacher, the two of them had a half-teacher friendship.

Seeing him coming, the old man smiled and asked, "Does Xiaolan plan to live in Fengtian for a while?"

Yuan Xiaolan replied respectfully: "Mr. Hui, yes, Xiaolan has signed a contract with Fengtian Grand Theater for three years. She has stayed in Peiping for a long time and wants to change places. I hope to make some achievements, so as to live up to my teacher's teaching."

Mr. Yuan Lao laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, Fengtian is a good place, especially in the past few years, with Marshal Ye in Taiping. That's good, the old man and those old buddies will stay here recently Some time. If you are a villager, how about arranging a few of us to sing "The Drunken Concubine"?"

Yuan Xiaolan was overwhelmed by the flattery, she responded again and again, and she was very grateful.Mr. Yuanfeng is one of the leading figures in the drama world today. Thinking about it, I know that the gimmick of Yuan Feng's master and apprentice sharing the same stage will definitely cause a sensation in the entire drama world-after all, although Yuan Feng and Yuan Xiaolan had contacts in the past, but now The two have never been on stage together.He knew that the old man was afraid that he would be despised when he first came to Fengtian, and wanted to create momentum for himself.

While the two were talking, they saw a commotion coming from the entrance of the banquet hall.The elder next to him glanced at the people surrounded by people at the door, and was a little puzzled: "How could Mr. Liu attend this kind of banquet?"

Chen Jingyou also saw someone, and Yuan Xiaolan next to him was not sensitive to current affairs, so he explained in a low voice: "Mr. Liu belongs to the old school. Even if invited by the big men, he will not attend easily, the last time he attended the banquet was the congress meeting about the founding of the Republic of China held by the Marshal’s Mansion, the Marshal’s appearance may not necessarily be able to invite him, so it’s very strange that he will appear here today.”

Yuan Xiaolan nodded, and when she turned her head, she saw Mr. Lin, who had met once in Xiangcheng, walking slowly out of the box at the deepest part of the banquet hall.

Lin Weirui rarely wore a white suit today, with a light-colored double-breasted vest inside, tailored to the size of the waist, buttoned to the top, and a delicate gray bow tie tied at the small Adam's apple. Coupled with his cold and dignified demeanor, the moment he walked out, he attracted the attention of a lot of people, and everyone guessed which noble son he was.

I saw a lot of people followed behind him, and the deputy steward next to him was also recommended by Ye Honghu. At this moment, he whispered to him: "When the invitation was delivered to Liu's house, it was said that the old man was ill and closed the door. Xie Ke declined the invitation. We didn't expect that the old man would come today. He also brought the young lady from the residence, and an unknown gentleman beside him. It is said that he is a distinguished guest from the residence. We were caught off guard. Look, sir. How should it be arranged?"

Naturally, a person of this magnitude cannot be placed in the hall, but the status of the old gentleman is not good enough to put him on Ye Honghu's two tables. Knowing whether this is a time to play his temper, he thought for a while and said: "Open another box, I will accompany you, and then arrange Mr. Yu and others to our table."

After explaining a few words, the people next to him went to do things by themselves. Lin Weirui looked at the old gentleman in front of him and took the initiative to shake hands. Unlike the excited expressions of others, his attitude was natural, neither humble nor overbearing, with a very faint smile on his face, as if In front of him is not a literary master whom everyone admires, nor is he a former official of the three provinces and borders who is now an old-school tycoon, but just an ordinary distinguished guest, "Mr. Liu, Miss Liu and this distinguished guest are here. Lost and welcome."

Since Liu Boyin decided to attend this banquet because of his granddaughter's chronic illness, he naturally sent someone to inquire about the young man in front of him.He went abroad when he was young and returned from studying abroad. In just half a year, he not only successfully opened a restaurant, but also introduced improved agricultural products from abroad, and cooperated with people from Fengtian Prefecture.All in all, this son is extraordinary and should not be underestimated.Now when I see a real person, I take a look at it, and when I see its extraordinary temperament and demeanor, I also look up a few times.

Liu Bo Yin would not lose face of the young man in front of him regardless of emotion or reason. Seeing him welcoming him, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Lin for opening the hotel today. This is Xiao Sun who is naive, and there is a distinguished guest at home who is a master. I am bothering you today." Yes, this is a small gift, please accept it with a smile."

Naturally, Lin Weirui didn't dare to accept it, she shied away a few words before accepting it, and the celestial master also gave a gift.After opening it, I found out that Mr. Liu gave me a pair of pens and inks.The words of staying old can be said to be worth a lot of money. This gift really fits Young Master Lin's "arty" intentions, so it was hung in the hotel lobby, which really attracted the attention of many guests.For this banquet, Lin Weirui slept in the guest room specially reserved for her family by Youfenglaiju last night, and Ye Honghu also stayed here and lived next door.This time, he will still be staying in Lin Weirui's room and office in the hotel. When everyone is here, Lin Weirui will go up and call him.

The third floor of the hotel is used as a guest room, and the floor is covered with thick carpets, and the footsteps of people stepping on it are low and inaudible.The long corridor is covered with antique lanterns, and the warm yellow lights are on. The frosted wallpaper on both sides shows that the decoration of the hotel has an obvious Chinese style. There are ancient paintings of landscape and ink on the wall, and the corners are exquisite. Gorgeous floor-to-ceiling porcelain vases with flower arrangements, when walking, there is a peaceful atmosphere of precipitation.

Lin Weirui didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open, and seeing that the person was still lying on the bed in a big character shape, she went to the bed and pushed him, "Fourth brother, wake up, the banquet is about to begin."

After pushing him for a while, there was no movement, Lin Weirui was about to push again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone grabbed him, pulled him on the bed, and Lin Weirui lost his focus and fell on the bed.

The man's voice was low with a smile, he sat up suddenly and leaned against his neck, took a deep breath, "It smells so good."

Lin Weirui slapped him on the back, but with little force, in Ye Honghu's eyes, it was like a cat tickling, and took advantage of the situation to grab both of his hands.

"That's the smell of hand cream, smell it." Lin Weirui was also sitting on the bed, and he couldn't move his hand, so he raised it and approached him, "There is no hand cream for men in this day and age, I just want to I took a can of what the little girl used to make a living, is it delicious?" In the northern winter, the wind is strong and dry, and Lin Weirui's hands, even with hot water, found that a layer of white skin had peeled off this morning.

The hand cream for women is added with floral essential oils. It's normal to have a strong smell, but it's a bit unbearable for Lin Weirui.He specifically asked the little girl if the fragrance was not strong before he dared to put it on his hands.After he put it on, he got used to not being able to smell the scent. When he was told this, he felt shocked, and he didn't care about being grabbed with his hands. He hurriedly smelled it, and the strange thing was that there was only a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus permeating the tip of his nose.

At this moment, there is only Lin Weirui's hand between them, and they are very close, almost cheek to cheek, nose to nose.

Ye Honghu stared intently at his thin lips that were a little dry in the winter, licked his lips and moved them close to his hand, and pressed his lips lightly, and then affirmed: "Mm, it's very fragrant."

Lin Weirui's hand was touched by a soft touch that didn't belong to her, and she came back to her senses in an instant, and now she understood that this person was playing tricks on her, and said lightly: "If the fourth brother doesn't get up again, do you want to open the skylight on the first day?"

After Ye Honghu took advantage of it, he lazily got up and took the armed belt placed beside him and fastened it on.Before going out, Lin Weirui cast a glance at him and reminded: "The first button is not fastened."

Ye Honghu is used to being a rough guy and doesn't care, "It's okay, let's go, not because I'm afraid that people will wait in a hurry."

Lin·Obsessive Compulsive Disorder·Perfectionist·The boss shook his head. Seeing that he was not moving, he took a step forward and raised his hand to help him buckle, "Lift your chin."

Ye Honghu did as he did, and stared straight at the person with a pair of eagle eyes. It was a good mistake, like a hooligan, with a sense of presence in his eyes.Lin Weirui raised her head to look at him after buttoning, only to realize that her hand was a little too casual, and left the door saying "click next time by yourself".

Today's fourth brother Ye is very happy in his heart: the daughter-in-law is so virtuous.
