The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 544 Dinner
Being stared at by Zhao Ming like this, Yin Qihua felt very uncomfortable, lowered his head, and dared not say anything more.

Li Jianguo laughed and said, "In this case, let's sit first and wait for them?"

Zhao Ming nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, come on, you go and sit for a while, eat some fruit and wait."

With that said, Li Jianguo, Pang Wenjing and the others picked a table and sat down.

Zhao Ming went to the back kitchen, and saw that Aunt Lan and the others were still busy, but they seemed to be in the final state, and the dishes were almost ready.

"Boss, it's hot inside, why did you come in?" Aunt Lan saw Zhao Ming and wanted to take him out.

Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hands, saying: "It's okay, it's too cold outside, it's good to come in and warm up."

As he said that, he greeted the others again, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. When we eat together next time, eat more. Try your own handicrafts too."

Everyone quickly nodded with a smile.

There are six people here, and they all have a clear division of labor, doing their own work.Some sorted out the ingredients they bought in the morning, while others went to get the aquatic products that Zhao Ming asked Dongxing to send.

Aunt Lan poked her head out and saw that the workers were all getting ready to come here, and there were some people sitting around the table, but no outsiders were seen.

She tentatively asked, "Boss, are those people still here?"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "It's on the way."

Aunt Lan frowned immediately, and said, "It's still so late to invite them to dinner? Everyone is waiting for them, the food is going to be cold."

"Isn't this not served yet?" Zhao Ming comforted with a smile: "It's okay, it will come soon."

With that said, he left the back kitchen.

Aunt Lan and the others cursed a few words in a low voice, then continued to work.

They are not worth it for Zhao Ming, so there is no need to pay attention to it. It's fine for him to set up a table to treat guests.

When they came outside, the workers also tidied up their hands, washed their hands, took their own bowls and chopsticks, and each chose a seat to sit down.

Sitting together in groups of three or four, if they hadn't seen the leader there, they might have started shouting and patting the table.

The construction site is like this. It's not that they want to make trouble, but they are very passionate and lively in everything they do.

Li Feng came to Zhao Ming's side and said in a low voice: "Boss, the people haven't come yet, do you want me to go call them with some people?"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, everyone is from the village. If you call them, it will be too deliberate. I already made an appointment with them yesterday, and it's still ten minutes away."

Li Feng smiled wryly in his heart, ten minutes?If you really want to come, I'm afraid they will come early, right?Why would someone step on it? It's okay if you don't give you face, I'm afraid you don't want to come.

While everyone was waiting, someone poked his head in the direction of the gate, and then stood up and looked left and right.

After that, several people came in behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people appeared behind them, appearing in groups, including men, women, young and old, and some with children in their arms.

Seeing this group of people appear, the workers all smiled, and finally they were able to eat.

Seeing this, Li Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, almost crying with emotion.Finally waited for them, but fortunately did not give up.

The one who walked in the front was Mr. Wang who worked in the Municipal Party Committee. He was probably the most enviable position among the surrounding residents.

When this group of people appeared, Zhao Ming had already stood up, and then Li Feng and Huo Lin also stood up, and the three of them greeted them.

Pang Wenying and Li Jianguo continued to sit, but there were smiles on their faces.

The workers also continued to sit, but they were not so noisy.Seeing these people again, they were not as hostile as before.

"Mr. Wang, neighbors, are you here? Take a seat quickly." Zhao Ming smiled and went forward to shake hands with Mr. Wang and others one by one.

Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, we are not late, are we? You made an appointment and let us come at this time. We didn't dare to come earlier because we were worried that it would affect everyone's work."

Zhao Ming laughed loudly: "It's not too late, it's just right. Come on, please sit down quickly."

Everyone took their seats one after another, and the group of neighbors sat at the front. Zhao Ming did not choose to sit with Li Jianguo and others, nor did he sit at the same table with Pang Wenjing.It is not the same stage as the workers on the construction site.

He chose to sit with this group of neighbors. There were two little boys sitting next to him. They were a little quiet and seemed a little shy of strangers, not daring to look at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming teased them with a smile and said, "What's your name?"

"cockroach."

"What about you?"

"Little Gang."

"They're all good names."

As Zhao Ming said, he patted their heads, then reached out and took a pre-dinner orange, peeled it, handed it to them, and said, "Come, eat some fruit, the food will be served soon."

The two little boys looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to reach out to pick it up, but worried that they would lose their manners, they were very embarrassed and panicked.

Zhao Ming smiled and put the oranges into their bowls, and then said: "Don't be nervous, just treat this place as your own home, and I don't know how to eat people."

The two boys glanced at Zhao Ming, but their eyes were still a little nervous.

Zhao Ming made a grimace and said, "Do I look like a cannibal?"

Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing and said, "No, you look better than the ones in the newspaper."

Zhao Mingdao: "Haha, you really have vision."

The others couldn't help laughing. The neighbors at the same table were still somewhat nervous. Seeing Zhao Ming was still as casual as ever, they relaxed a lot.

Mr. Wang is also at this table, just across from Zhao Ming, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you have been charged a lot of money today. In fact, everyone knows what the purpose of your inviting us here is to resolve this matter peacefully." Bar?"

Zhao Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no conflict between you, so there is no peaceful solution, right? Everyone, eat and drink at ease. I really just want to make you feel sorry."

While talking, the dishes have already started to be served.Li Feng and several workers went to help, first bringing the dishes to Zhao Ming's table, then to Pang Wenjing and Li Jianguo's, and finally to others.

The first dish is roast chicken. This is Zhao Ming's order. One must be made and cut open for everyone to eat some meat first.

This is the dish, when it comes up, it is immediately picked up and eaten first.

At Zhao Ming's table, after he came up to the table, he looked straight at it without moving his chopsticks first.The two boys stared with straight eyes, and wanted to pinch, but they were too embarrassed to do it first.

Zhao Ming knew that if he didn't move the chopsticks first, no one else would.He quickly picked up a piece of chicken leg, handed it to Xiaoqiang's bowl, and said, "Everyone eat, come on, the hospitality is not good, forgive me."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece and handed it to Xiao Gang's bowl.

The two boys glanced at their parents before they started eating.When the others saw this, they laughed too, and this was the move of their chopsticks.

Immediately afterwards, the second course, the third course, eight dishes in a row, and a pot of soup in the middle.Everyone eats their mouths full of oil, so happy.

Someone was poking around, as if looking for something.

Zhao Ming asked, "Uncle Chen, what are you looking for?"

He had done his homework in advance, and he knew all the names of these neighbors, so he called out other people's names to make the neighbors feel kind.

Uncle Chen said awkwardly: "Xiao Zhao, why can't I find where to put the porridge?"

Zhao Ming was taken aback, the other people at the same table were a little embarrassed, especially Mr. Wang almost buried his head in his job bowl.

Zhao Ming stood up, and said with a slight smile, "Come on, let me cook for you? Because it's late at night, and the workers have to eat to replenish their strength, so there is no porridge. Do you mind?"

Uncle Chen hurriedly said: "I don't mind, I am very happy, just pour some soup later."

Zhao Ming smiled and went into the kitchen to serve him rice. In fact, Aunt Lan and the others didn't cook much.The main reason is that there are too many dishes today, and it is estimated that everyone will not eat, and they will be full just by eating vegetables.

However, to be on the safe side, she still cooked half of the food for the people. At first, a few workers with big appetites went to serve the food, while the others continued to eat.

Therefore, there is still a lot of rice.

After Zhao Ming made the meal, he came out and put it on for Uncle Chen.Uncle Chen's son whispered something in his ear, as if blaming him.

Zhao Ming knew what they were thinking, and said with a loud smile: "Uncle Chen, it's time to eat. If you don't have enough to eat later, go ahead and fight. By the way, if you feel that you are not full enough, you can also go to fight for food."

As he spoke, he touched his belly and said, "I'm used to eating. I don't eat for a day and only eat vegetables. I'm really not used to it."

After all, he got up and went to cook.

When the others saw this, they all laughed, and the embarrassment disappeared instantly.Uncle Chen's son didn't speak anymore, his face was full of smiles.Uncle Chen also ate with a smile.

With enough food and wine, seeing that all the dishes have been served, and everyone has almost eaten.But Zhao Ming was just eating with him, and he didn't intend to say anything at all.

Pang Wenjing couldn't sit still, she was a little puzzled, why didn't Zhao Ming say anything?
Li Jianguo was also puzzled. Didn't Zhao Ming plan to say something when hosting such a dinner?

As the saying goes, short-handed, soft-mouthed.It's just a good time to invite guests to dinner here. If he reports his situation to these neighbors, and then vomits bitterness and so on, he will probably be fine.

But he still doesn't say anything now. Could it be that he really just wants to treat guests to dinner?Just apologizing and not drawing anything?

Pang Wenjing couldn't sit still anymore, got up and came to Zhao Ming's side, said with a smile: "Zhao Ming, I have something to tell you, come here."

Zhao Ming was taken aback, got up and apologized to everyone, and then followed her to the office.
