Chapter 216 The Commotion at the Table
"Then let's have mushroom fried rice, coated tofu, honey-glazed lamb chops, stir-fried ham, and a braised food platter."
"Let's order some hot pot tripe, pork tenderloin, black truffle hand-made shrimp balls, wild mushroom meatballs, crab sticks, fresh chestnuts, beef and lamb roll platter, and seasonal vegetable platter. That's about it!"
"Feifei and the others haven't arrived yet. Let them order some more later."
Jiang Duoduo put down the menu and spoke to Shi Wenyan and Jiang Shen.
"Alright! Waiter, please serve the dishes we just ordered first. We can add more when our friends come later!"
Jiang Shen handed the menu in his hand to the waiter, and his voice was just right, giving people a polite and humble feeling.
"Okay, sir, I'll take your order. Do you need any drinks?"
The waiter took the menu and politely reminded.
"Oh, right! I actually forgot to order drinks for you ladies. I'm so sorry! You guys can take care of yourselves. As for us gentlemen, let's start with a bottle of 86 Chateau Lafite!"
He ordered 86 Lafite right at the start. This Jiang Shen is really a big spender!
This Lafite Castle is also available in the wine cabinet of the restaurant of Jiang Duoduo's Sunset Villa. The price varies greatly depending on the year. Although the cheapest one is only a thousand yuan a bottle, the 86 Lafite costs at least 6000 yuan.
"A Shen, why did you order such an expensive drink?"
Shi Wenyan didn’t know much else, but the 82 Lafite was very expensive, and it had become well known through the memes in short videos.
She thought that this 86 wine must be very expensive. If it were just her and Jiang Shen having a candlelight dinner today, she wouldn't feel bad at all about ordering such an expensive wine.
But when Shi Wenyan thought about treating Cheng Li and Xiao Ming to such expensive wine later, she felt like she was losing out!
"This wine is only over 6 yuan, which I think is a good price. Most importantly, it tastes good. I often drink it at home! What about you three beautiful ladies? Do you want to drink red wine or other beverages together?"
Jiang Shen mainly asked Jiang Duoduo, and the other two were just there as a side note.
"I'll drink some red wine with Ah Shen!"
Shi Wenyan looked at Jiang Shen beside her with affection, and spoke in a coquettish voice.
Since the wine was so expensive, of course she had to help Ah Shen drink most of it.
"Let's just have a pitcher of coconut milk!"
No matter how expensive the wine is, it won't taste good to someone like Jiang Duoduo who doesn't drink. She and Zeng Mingming looked through the menu and ordered a pot of coconut milk.
"Okay!" The waiter registered the drinks and walked out of the box with a smile on his face.
When a bottle of red wine like Lafite is sold for several thousand yuan, the waiter in charge of the box will receive an additional commission of one hundred yuan.
Today, the customer ordered such an expensive wine on his own without her having to sell him anything, so the waitress was very happy.
……
Ten minutes later, the dishes ordered by Jiang Shen and Jiang Duoduo were all served. At this time, Cheng Li arrived outside the door of the G09 box.
dong dong dong...
Cheng Li straightened his clothes and knocked on the door of the box. He had been driving all day today, so his clothes were fine, but his pants were a little wrinkled from sitting.
"Please come in..." A male voice with a slightly magnetic tone came from inside.
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Cheng Li pushed the door open and came in. In the box, besides a few girls he knew, there was also a middle-aged man.
The man was well-dressed and had his hair combed meticulously. He looked like the wealthy man who had treated Zeng Mingming to a meal.
"Not too late, not too late. You've arrived just in time. Our dishes have just been served. Wen Yan, could you please introduce this person to us?"
Jiang Shen stood up from his seat, smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Cheng Li who had just entered.
People in the business world are accustomed to shaking hands when they meet someone for the first time.
"This is Mingming's boyfriend, Cheng Li. He's an online taxi driver. We took his car on our first day in Shajiang. Don't you think we're destined to be together?"
Shi Wenyan introduced Cheng Li to Jiang Shen with a smile.
Then he turned around and looked at Cheng Li and solemnly introduced Jiang Shen, "This is my boyfriend Jiang Shen, he is a businessman."
Jiang Duoduo realized that Shi Wenyan specifically introduced the two people's professions just for the purpose of comparison. She felt that Jiang Shen's boss status was to give her face.
"Hello……"
The two men said hello to each other and shook hands.
"We are just ordinary friends, Wen Yan, please don't make such jokes!"
Zeng Mingming suddenly stood up and looked at Shi Wenyan with an unhappy look.
"It was just a joke! Mingming, why are you so angry? I was wrong, isn't that okay? Well, Feifei said she and Xiaoming will be here in about ten minutes, so let's eat while we wait for them."
Shi Wenyan apologized, but in her heart she felt contempt. She felt Zeng Mingming was a bit hypocritical. She was obviously interested in Cheng Li, but she was hiding it.
Cheng Li called out Mingming softly, and then sat down next to Zeng Mingming.
He didn't think that being an online taxi driver made him inferior to other bosses. He came to dinner today because of Zeng Mingming's face. Otherwise, he wouldn't come even if he was offered a full banquet.
"Then let's eat first! It's the same if we order some dishes after they arrive! Xiao Cheng, do you want some red wine?"
Jiang Shen picked up the bottle of Lafite that the waiter had just opened, thinking that drinking some wine would create a good atmosphere.
"Brother Jiang, I drove here, so I won't drink the red wine. Let Xiao Ming drink with you later. He can drink a lot."
Cheng Li stood up and took the pot of coconut milk that Jiang Duoduo ordered and filled his own cup. "Brother Jiang, I'll use coconut milk instead of wine. Let me toast you first!"
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Jiang Shen was obviously a little unhappy. He didn't expect that a young man in his twenties would be so disrespectful to him.
"Mr. Cheng, why don't you just find a designated driver to take your car back? The wine Ah Shen ordered is several thousand yuan a bottle. One glass is equivalent to several days' salary for you. It would be a shame if you don't drink it! Come... I'll fill your glass. It's okay to have two glasses."
Shi Wenyan stood up, took a clean glass and poured wine for Cheng Li.
"Then...okay then!"
Shi Wenyan had already poured him some wine, so Cheng Li had no choice but to take it and toast Jiang Shen.
"Everyone, let's eat first! Drinking alcohol on a hungry stomach is bad for your stomach!"
As Jiang Duoduo spoke, she poured all the wild mushroom platter in front of her into the pot of smoking free-range chicken in the middle.
With delicious food in front of her, Jiang Duoduo felt that she could put drinking aside for now.
"Miss Duoduo is right! Drinking on an empty stomach is indeed harmful to your health! Then let's eat the food first, and then we can have some drinks together when your other two friends come over."
The purpose of Jiang Shen's invitation to this meal was to establish a good relationship with Jiang Duoduo so that he could board the giant ship of Leica International in the future.
So when Jiang Duoduo said to eat first, he took this as an imperial decree.
