Brush Up Your Proficiency
#60 - Small talk
With Liu Zhi and Wang Lin taking their seats, Cheng Yufei's long-awaited meal was finally about to begin.
However, with two elders present and her status as a guest, she didn't dare to indulge too much and start eating directly.
If she were at home, facing this table full of mouth-watering dishes, she would have probably started devouring them without hesitation.
After all, Cheng's family only had this one precious daughter, so Father Cheng and Mother Cheng naturally doted on her, and wouldn't be too harsh on minor etiquette matters. Fortunately, Cheng Yufei knew how to restrain herself, which benefited her greatly in her work.
In the countryside, there's usually a custom when entertaining guests: to say a few polite words before the meal to express welcome.
But Wang Hao's family didn't have that custom. They felt that since guests came to their home, the most important thing was to make them feel comfortable and at ease. As long as the guests felt comfortable, they didn't particularly care about whether or not to speak.
Of course, basic etiquette was still necessary.
After Wang Lin took the first bite, he told everyone to feel free, and then everyone started eating.
This was Li Nan's first time tasting Wang Hao's food, and when she took the first bite, her first thought was:
Cheng Yufei really didn't exaggerate, this is too delicious! No wonder she looked so wistful when she talked about how delicious Wang Hao's cooking was before. Now that I've experienced it myself, it's truly praiseworthy.
At this moment, she finally understood why Cheng Yufei said they couldn't stop eating when they ate before. It's really hard to stop!
Li Nan savored the delicious food while praising Wang Hao's cooking in her heart.
She secretly rejoiced that such a good cook was actually her best friend's partner. When their restaurant opened in the future, she would have to come and freeload meals often.
At this time, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little subtle. Wang Hao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He originally wanted to communicate with the two ladies, but they were only focused on eating and completely ignored his existence.
However, Wang Hao wasn't angry. After all, after his cooking skill level was raised to advanced, he had become accustomed to this quiet eating atmosphere, which was also a disguised recognition of his cooking skills for him!
As for Cheng Yufei, she only wanted to make up for the delicious food she hadn't eaten these days, and didn't care about Li Nan and Wang Hao's thoughts at all, just focusing on eating.
Liu Zhi looked at Cheng Yufei with a smile, her eyes full of love and joy.
She felt that this girl was not only beautiful but also very cute, especially the way she buried herself in eating, making people want to get close to her.
Cheng Yufei, who was focused on eating, instinctively noticed Liu Zhi's gaze, gave her an awkward smile, and slowed down her pace of picking up food.
However, Li Nan was immersed in the delicious food and didn't pay any attention to her best friend's awkward expression.
Her eyes were fixed on the delicious food in front of her, and her chopsticks kept picking up one delicious dish after another and sending them into her mouth, eating with relish.
Every bite of food seemed to bring her incomparable enjoyment and satisfaction, making her completely immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.
Throughout the banquet, the happiest person was Wang Lan.
She kept eating while looking around curiously, observing the expressions of the people around her.
Her eyes were flexible and sharp, not letting go of any detail, as if she wanted to take in all the stories of this banquet.
In this atmosphere, a silent banquet came to an end.
These standard questions made Cheng Yufei's heart skip a beat. She suddenly had a special feeling, maintaining a smile on her face, but her eyes were looking at Wang Hao for help.
Wang Lan, who was originally a little dizzy, immediately perked up when she heard this. She quickly opened the melon seeds next to her and started嗑瓜子 while looking left and right.
Li Nan also perked up when she heard this. She seemed to have seen such lines in TV dramas before. In what kind of plot would they appear? She looked at Cheng Yufei with a smile and began to think.
Wang Hao shook his head helplessly. He knew that his sister's fanning the flames would definitely start a fire, but he didn't expect his mother to be so eager.
Noticing Cheng Yufei's pleading gaze, Wang Hao quickly changed the subject and said, "Ahem, Mom, President Cheng is here to sign the restaurant contract with me."
As soon as Liu Zhi heard this, she immediately became interested: "Oh? How's your talk going?"
Cheng Yufei quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry, we've already discussed it. I'll fax it back later."
Liu Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good. By the way, girl, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Cheng Yufei's face turned red, not knowing how to answer.
Wang Hao really didn't expect that the topic he diverted would be turned back by his mother so bluntly.
Seeing this, he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Mom, why are you asking so much? President Cheng is still busy!"
Liu Zhi glared at her son: "I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else." Then she looked at Cheng Yufei again and said with a smile, "Girl, don't mind."
Cheng Yufei勉强 smiled: "It's okay, Auntie, I don't mind." But she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Wang Hao helped her out.
Liu Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, it's not easy to come here, let Xiao Hao take you around."
"No need to be polite, Auntie, we have to go back to the county to work soon, so we won't bother you!" Cheng Yufei said quickly. She felt that if she didn't leave, looking at her auntie's posture, she had the intention of letting them stay.
Before Liu Zhi could say anything, Wang Hao quickly took over and said, "I'll take them to get a taxi. Xiao Lan, let's go for a walk together to digest!"
