Chapter 648 Surprising Guest

At noon, Lao Wang came to Longma's office with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Are you too excited to sleep at night?
Don't you think so? When did the situation become so small? "

Long Ma saw Lao Wang's listless look and immediately started teasing him.

"Stop talking, I miscalculated this time. I always thought I was thick-skinned, but I never expected that there would be someone more sinister than me.

That face is several times thicker than the city wall. "

Lao Wang took the tea cup handed by Long Ma and took a long sip, which slightly relieved the depression in his heart.

"No wonder I called you and turned off your phone this morning. It turns out you were hiding?

Didn’t you enjoy the phone call yesterday?Why did you give up before one day? "

Ryoma continued to tease, such an opportunity is rare.

“Enjoy it, if I didn’t turn off my phone last night, would you believe it, the phone would keep ringing until dawn.

So I asked my secretary to call these people back. No one can come to the family dinner today. "

Lao Wang directly snatched the teapot from Longma's hand and poured himself a cup.

"I used to call her Xiaotiantian, but now I call her ."

Before Long Ma could finish the last three words, Lao Wang interrupted: "Brother, today is a family dinner!"

"Okay, no problem. We have known each other for many years. We are more like family than family. This family dinner must include me, right?
Also, I have good photography skills, so I can take pictures of you at night, right? "

After hearing Lao Wang's "threat", Long Ma immediately gave up his teasing mentality and recommended himself with a serious face.

"I really didn't realize that you are actually quite thick-skinned."

Lao Wang shook his head and directly took the teapot to his mouth and drank.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, many small plates were already placed on the first floor of the boutique, with a variety of exquisite snacks on them.

There are also some exquisite pastries, which are very beautiful in shape and vividly presented on the plate. Just pick one out and it will be comparable to Michelin.

“Now you can go live and show everyone today’s snacks.

The guests will arrive at four o'clock soon. They will have snacks and chat for a while, and then the banquet will officially start at six o'clock. "

Seeing that the snacks were almost ready, Chu Yunfeng said hello to Hao Minming and let the fans enjoy it first.

The hot snacks are served when the guests arrive. It is convenient to take a full range of photos before the guests arrive.

After the guests arrive, we can only take pictures in the kitchen and living room. We will not disturb them in the boutique.

"No problem, Coco and I will go first, but don't forget that a small cake will be prepared for us later."

Hao Mingming saw Li Keke tugging at his sleeves and knew that she was reminding him.

"Don't worry, Hu Yue and Guo Kui are still cooking. They will have something to eat when they come back soon."

After the first batch of snacks and pastries came out just now, the smell was irresistible to everyone present.

But this was prepared for guests, so everyone had no choice but to give up tasting it.

But I strongly requested to make it a little more, and it didn’t need to be plated or decorated too much.

During the last banquet, many fans fell in love with the snacks and pastries made by Guo Kui and Hu Yue.

So Hu Yue also opened her own account, and posted some of her own works with Guo Kui when she had nothing to do, and gained a group of fans.

In addition, I have recently learned how to make so many snacks, which is even more powerful, and the number of video updates has also increased.

The two learned from each other. Both Chinese snacks and Western pastries drew on each other's strengths, and their skills became better and better.

In addition, Chu Yunfeng also gave them pointers on plate presentation skills from time to time, so this time the snacks and pastries will be presented to everyone again.

"It's on, it's on, the live broadcast has started."

"It finally started. I was smart enough to set a reminder early in the morning, so I didn't delay."

"You should only be able to see some ready-made snacks at the moment. The main dishes will probably have to wait for more than two hours."

"Don't underestimate the snacks. Don't forget that Xingchen has just held a snack event. There will definitely be an upgraded version this time."

"The snacks made in this boutique are probably more exquisite than those at the snack event. It's a pity that you can't eat them. What a pity."

"It makes sense. I suggest that Boss Chu can hold a lottery. These exquisite snacks can be participated in the lottery and can be delivered by the courier boy."

As soon as the live broadcast started, the discussion atmosphere suddenly became lively, and Chu Yunfeng also took the time to read the fans' comments.

"This suggestion seems good. We can hold an online lottery and make more snacks to give to fans."

Chu Yunfeng keenly observed this suggestion from fans, which seemed to be very helpful in interacting with fans.

"It's pretty good. The draws and rewards are fine, but what about delivery? That's the big problem, right?"

Guo Kui also thought it was good, but after careful consideration, he found that there were still disadvantages.

“Yes, it’s easy to handle if the fan is from the same city, just let the courier deliver it, but what if the fan is from out of town?
There are two problems with express delivery of these snacks and pastries.

The first is the shelf life. If it is delivered by express delivery on such a hot day, it will go bad within a day. Can you still eat it after it is delivered?
Also, these cake-like pastries are very fragile. They are swaying around during long-distance transportation, and they must be like "mud" after they are delivered.

All the hard work was in vain. "

Hu Yue's words are very pertinent. This is indeed a thankless job.

"It makes sense, especially since the snacks and pastries we make do not contain preservatives and have a shelf life of one day at most.

It seems that this lottery interaction can only be thought about. "

Chu Yunfeng nodded. He had the same idea as Hu Yue. This operation was indeed very difficult.

If we only do it from the same city, then fans from other places will definitely have opinions. If the bowl of water is uneven, it will cause controversy.

Instead, the original intention was lost, and the gains outweighed the losses.

“But it’s not without a solution. We can make some snacks that last a long time.

Snacks such as scallion pancakes and walnut pancakes generally have a shelf life of 7 days. We can deliver these with good results.

Guo Kui's suggestion made Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue thoughtful, and then they both said at the same time: "Then you do it!"

"What do you mean? Why did you just leave it to me?"

Guo Kui didn't understand for a while why the two people formed an offensive and defensive alliance at once?

"You're kidding, it's too late this time. Next time we can prepare a little earlier."

Chu Yunfeng patted Guo Kui's left shoulder, and then Hu Yue patted his right shoulder. Both of them gave a look that said, "I'm optimistic about you."

"Why was this left to me?"

Guo Kui doesn’t quite understand!
“Aren’t these two Chinese snacks?”

"Who asked you to give such a good suggestion? Who asked you to make it so delicious?"

The two responded at the same time, passing the "pot" to Guo Kui.

Who gave you the surname Guo (Guo)?
"They're so beautiful. These little cakes are so delicate. They're bite-sized. They're so cute."

"There are paintings on such a small cake. This must be Boss Chu's style. I'll give you a thumbs up first."

"Chinese snacks are also very eye-catching. The popcorn looks so tempting. It tastes like when I was a kid."

"Wait a minute, that yellow one is Persian sugar. I haven't seen it in almost 20 years. These are all memories from my childhood."

As Hao Minming entered the first floor of the boutique, the various pastries placed on the table immediately attracted focus.

The preparation and presentation this time were very different from last time.

The snacks and pastries I made last time were larger in volume and the plates used were also larger.

But this time it has been streamlined. Each snack or pastry is served at most three times, and it is served on a separate small plate.

Not only that, every snack and pastry is presented on a plate, either with paintings or with some nuts and other ingredients.

Make every piece look carefully crafted, and this will reflect the word "high quality" of a boutique.

The fans who saw this scene were not calm. Even the snacks tonight were so exquisite, so wouldn't the dishes for the main banquet be more beautiful.

The most heartbreaking thing is that it is such a shame not to be able to watch the guests taste the food live.

The most enjoyable thing is to be able to see the surprise and satisfaction on the faces of the guests. Unfortunately, I may not be able to do this today.

There is always not enough time to appreciate exquisite things. When everyone heard the sound of brakes, the live broadcast stopped.

There are people in the yard, it must be guests.

Everyone was curious about who would come to the boutique tonight. They originally wanted to eavesdrop, but Hao Minming didn't give everyone a chance and blocked the live broadcast before going out.
"welcome!"

Waiters in uniform uniforms lined up at the entrance of the boutique, shouting uniform slogans to welcome the distinguished guests who had just gotten off the bus.

When they saw the people getting out of the car, everyone's faces flashed with surprise, but they quickly recovered.

If they hadn't gone through special training, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others might have been so surprised that they would have lost their composure and opened their mouths in confusion when they saw this scene.

Although I knew this was a family banquet, I didn't expect that this banquet would actually be a family banquet, a family banquet with a hint of "rich" flavor.

Three cars were parked in the yard, and Lao Wang pulled over all the people who needed to entertain.

After getting off the bus, everyone saw that in addition to Lao Wang's family and Long Ma, there were four elderly people, two middle-aged people, and two children.

The reason why everyone was surprised was that these people were dressed in a rustic style, especially the middle-aged couple, who even had patches on their pants.

Moreover, the middle-aged man also wears a blue cloth hat from the 60s on his head. The color has been seriously faded, and there are many damages on the corners.

The two seemed to be very affectionate. They were still holding hands when they got out of the car, but the expressions on their faces looked extremely unnatural.

After getting off the car, the two of them looked around at the surrounding environment and seemed a little cramped.

The two held hands a little tighter and moved closer to each other.

There are two children, a boy and a girl. The girl looks to be about ten years old, and the boy looks to be two years younger than the girl.

These two children are also dressed very simply, but they are much better than the middle-aged couple.

They were fooling around with Lao Wang's daughter, and they didn't get along at all.

The four old people are also two old couples. One pair is exquisitely dressed and looks calm and composed. The other pair is dressed similar to middle-aged people and also looks a little unconfident.

When all the guests arrived, Chu Yunfeng immediately walked out with Guo Kui and Hu Yue.

There are still many differences between this banquet and a business banquet.

Compared with business banquets, family banquets have an extra human touch, so Chu Yunfeng needs to come out and meet everyone as soon as possible.

It is a kind gesture and shows respect.

But if it is a business banquet, Chu Yunfeng will usually only come out to say hello and be polite to the guests after the food is served.

Both actions have different ways of doing things and connotations.

"Welcome, welcome, I am Chu Yunfeng, the owner and chef of the boutique, and these two are Guo Kui and Hu Yue, who are also the chefs of today's family banquet."

The three of them, Chu Yunfeng, came out together to express their welcome. They were also surprised that the family members invited by Lao Wang seemed to be very different from what they had imagined.

It stands to reason that with Lao Wang's wealth, his relatives will help him no matter how bad his situation is. Why do these relatives look so miserable?

If the relationship is not good and Lao Wang doesn't help, it's understandable.

But since they were all brought by Lao Wang, this shows that the relationship is very good, but why is it still so bad?
So this is the most incredible thing, and no wonder everyone is surprised.

No one would dare to imagine such a thing happening, and no one would dare to write a novel like this.
"Boss Chu, let me introduce you. These are my parents, these are my uncle and his wife, these are my cousin and his wife, and those two are their children."

As Lao Wang introduced, Chu Yunfeng nodded, but received very little response. Only Lao Wang's parents nodded.

“Go in first to have some snacks, drink tea, admire antiques, and rest for a while.

The banquet officially started at six o'clock, and the dishes were almost ready. "

Chu Yunfeng made an inviting gesture, then led everyone to the door of the attic, smiling and inviting everyone in.

The children were the happiest. As soon as they heard that they could go in, they swarmed in. The fragrance coming from inside made them greedy.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man seemed to want to stop them, but was pulled back by the woman. He sighed and suppressed his words.

As soon as she entered the door, Lao Wang's daughter immediately took the lead and rushed to the place where snacks were placed, then took two exquisite cakes and handed them to the two friends.

The little friend was not polite, he lifted the plate and took a bite, and the small cake instantly disappeared on the plate.

After finishing the meal in one bite, they also licked the jam-painted arrangement on the plate with their tongues.

Soon, the plate was licked clean. Looking at the delicacies on the table again, a strong desire burst out in his eyes, wishing to get another plate right away.

But looking back at his parents, they hesitated again and stood there motionless.

"Go wash your hands and come back to eat!"

Lao Wang came over and touched the heads of the two children and said softly.

As soon as the words fell, the two little guys immediately ran to the side, picked up the soap and started washing their hands. Lao Wang's girl finished eating the cake in her hands and followed.

"Cousin, I'm not telling you, you should change your concept. Even if it's not for yourself, you should think about it for these two children!"

Lao Wang persuaded his cousins ​​earnestly.
