Chapter 853 Eating Western Food

"Eat Western food?" Cheng Qingyan was stunned when she heard this.

"Participating in the Canton Fair is to deal with foreigners, and we may entertain foreign guests this time, so I have to teach you some western dining etiquette, which can be regarded as a kind of training." Duan Yun pouted.

"Okay." Cheng Qingyan nodded obediently, and then said to Duan Yun: "Then I'll ask Xiaolan and the others to go there together..."

"What do you want them to do? Just the two of us, except for my wife, no one else is qualified." Duan Yun raised his brows and said.

"Okay then, shall we go there now?" Cheng Qingyan asked.

"Your clothes are not good. Men who eat western food should wear suits, and women should wear suits. In addition, you can bring all the jewelry I bought for you." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Isn't it just a meal, doesn't it need to be so grand?" Cheng Qingyan said a little puzzled.

"Remember in the future, we are not an ordinary family now, life must have quality and a sense of ceremony, forget it, let's not talk about these, I will teach you slowly in the future." Duan Yun said.

"En." Cheng Qingyan responded, then turned and walked to the wardrobe.

When Cheng Qingyan went shopping with Yu Shulan and the others this afternoon, she bought several sets of clothes in one go, all of which were the most popular styles at the moment.

Cheng Qingyan changed several sets of clothes in a row, and Duan Yun was not very satisfied, but when she changed into the newly bought dress and small suit jacket, Duan Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.

I have to say that Cheng Qingyan is indeed a natural beauty, with a very good appearance and figure, which is not inferior to some domestic models and movie actors these days. After wearing this dress and suit jacket, she immediately has a very dazzling temperament.

"Is this okay..." Cheng Qingyan whispered.

Although the two have been married and living together for a while, Cheng Qingyan still can't let go of changing clothes back and forth in front of her husband. Although she has a figure and looks that all girls envy, in general, She has a relatively conservative personality, and has always been slow to get excited about things between men and women. She has not completely shed the youthfulness of being a girl. Even when the two of them do that kind of thing at night, she never refuses to turn on the lights, and also He has always been passive and let Duan Yun ask for it.

"Very good." Duan Yun showed a satisfied smile, and continued: "You can wear all your best jewelry, I want to see your most beautiful appearance."

"En." Cheng Qingyan responded, and took out all kinds of jewelry from her bag. Cheng Qingyan's jewelry was given to her by Duan Yun, and Gao Xiuzhi, and the dowry gift from her mother when she got married.

Speaking of which, Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan are relatively wealthy families, so Cheng Qingyan has a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and most of them are kept at home. This time, she only brought a few ordinary silver jewelry to the Canton Fair.

Even a few pieces of ordinary-looking silver jewelry, after wearing them on Cheng Qingyan's body, she immediately looked a little extravagant, especially the diamond ring on her left hand, which looked even more dazzling.

Then the two left the guest house together, called a tricycle outside, and went to the western restaurant Duan Yun mentioned.

Taipingguan Western Restaurant is a time-honored restaurant in Guangzhou. It is said that it was founded in the 11th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1885. It was a canteen for dignitaries at that time. Entertain relatives and friends.

As the oldest and most famous western restaurant in Guangzhou, people in the past could go to Taiping Pavilion to eat a roasted squab and saw a piece of steak. For the old Guangzhou people, it was a very honorable thing. .

Duan Yun only learned of such a western restaurant when he was inspecting Guangzhou with Li Guosheng in the afternoon, and the first thing he thought of was that he must have a meal here with his wife Cheng Qingyan tonight.

Duan Yun has always loved Cheng Qingyan very much, and always wants her to live the best life, no matter it is basic necessities of life, as long as there are good things, he always wants to be the first to share them with his wife.

After entering the restaurant, Cheng Qingyan couldn't help being surprised by the luxurious interior decoration. She has never been in such a high-end consumer place when she grows up. The hall is decorated with exquisite decorations, exquisite dining tables, and the marble floor is illuminated by the lights. With a strange luster, she was completely stunned by the scene in front of her.

"Sit here." Duan Yun led Cheng Qingyan to a dining table by the window, helped her pull out a chair, and asked her to sit down in a gentlemanly manner, while sitting opposite him.

"This place is so beautiful..." After Cheng Qingyan sat down, she looked around.

Although it is only 5 p.m. and it is not yet the time for the factory to close get off work, the place is almost full of guests, and most of these guests are foreigners in suits and leather shoes. The Canton Fair will be held soon, and there are already many foreigners. Merchants have come to Guangzhou, and apart from these foreign merchants, there are also some businessmen who are obviously from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Compared with the mainland, their clothes and hairstyles are obviously a bit trendier.

"Crack!" Duan Yun snapped his fingers, and a waiter immediately came over with the menu.

"Do you have any signature dishes?" Duan Yun asked.

"Our store has 6 famous dishes, golden roasted pigeon, smoked fish, special salted beef, German pork chops, baked Portuguese chicken, baked crab cap with cheese..." the waiter in the restaurant introduced carefully.

"I want these special dishes, and a bottle of 82 wine, thank you." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Six dishes are too many, we can't eat them at all, and I don't know how to drink..." Cheng Qingyan said with some embarrassment.

"I can't eat it and walk around, but I can pack it anyway." Duan Yun smiled, and then said, "Alcohol for foreigners is actually a drink. It doesn't have much alcohol. Don't worry."

"En." Cheng Qingyan nodded, it was her first time to try western food, so she could only listen to Duan Yun's arrangement.

"Let me tell you, you are now the deputy general manager of Tianyin Electronics Factory. In the future, you will definitely have many opportunities to have dinner with foreign businessmen. There are many dining etiquettes, and I will teach you slowly." Duan Yun Said.

Duan Yun now attaches great importance to cultivating Cheng Qingyan. Unlike his confidantes, Cheng Qingyan is the only person he can hand over the financial power to, and as his wife, Cheng Qingyan will accompany him to attend various occasions in the future. Naturally, all the etiquette should be handed over to him.

"Dining in a western restaurant, it is the most basic thing to dress appropriately. Men should dress neatly, while women... wear evening dresses or suits and shoes with heels, that is, high-heeled shoes. In addition, the makeup should be a little heavy, because the light in western restaurants is generally dark. Heavier makeup is more attractive..." Duan Yun explained the basic etiquette of western food to Cheng Qingyan before the food was served.
