A group of people arrived at Jun Yue Lai, filling another table.
"Manager Liu, are those meats ready?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"They are ready. Some have already been sold. Everyone who ate them said they were delicious."
"How were they prepared?"
"Beef stewed with potatoes, lamb soup, roasted lamb skewers, and spicy stir-fried lamb."
"Have the chef prepare two portions of these dishes for our table so everyone can try them."
"Certainly, Manager Guo. Please enjoy your meal, I'll go back to work."
"Go ahead. For the next period, please research how well these new varieties are selling.
Tomorrow, these dishes will also be added to the wedding banquet. Let's hear everyone's feedback."
"Understood, Manager Guo." Liu He said and turned to leave.
"Yang Zi, what is it?" Lü Liang asked.
"Last time I went out, I found some beef and lamb, and I felt they were good, so I fiddled with them a bit.
I've asked Liu He to have the chef stew them. Everyone will get to try them later to see how they are.
If they're delicious, we'll add these two dishes to the wedding banquet tomorrow."
"What you feel is good, I'm sure it will be excellent. Then let's try them first."
"Brothers, how about another round?" Guo Xuyang asked, looking at Xiao Qi and a few others.
Xiao Qi glanced at Lü Liang and said, "We have to get up early tomorrow, so let's skip it today."
"What do you mean skip it? You've worked hard all day, just one drink each, we won't drink much.
With your alcohol tolerance, this one drink should be fine, right?" Pi Xiaoqian chimed in.
"The fatty said one drink, so one drink it is.
Tong Xin, go find Manager Liu and have him send over a case of Guojiu."
"Understood, Captain Guo." Tong Xin agreed and got up to find Liu He.
"After you finish drinking, don't come to my place to stay," Lü Liang said with a dark expression.
"Don't get kicked out when Xiao Yu walks in tomorrow."
"I'm telling you brothers, if we're not staying, we're not staying. Tonight, I'll take everyone out to relax!" Pi Xiaoqian said.
"I hope you can still say that later," Guo Xuyang chuckled.
"Yang Zi, why do I feel like nothing good happens when you smile like that? I feel a chill all over," Pi Xiaoqian said, hugging his arms.
"It's getting late, shouldn't they be here by now?" Guo Xuyang ignored him, checking the time.
"Who do you think hasn't arrived? You wouldn't have invited anyone else, would you?" Pi Xiaoqian asked.
"I didn't invite anyone. But tomorrow is Brother Liang's wedding, so those people will come, won't they?"
"Which people? I feel like I'm hearing things in a fog."
As the two were talking, Liu He had already arranged for people to start serving the dishes.
"Why isn't President Jiang here today?" Guo Xuyang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"He has a meeting that came up unexpectedly, so he won't be here tonight. He'll be at my place early tomorrow," Lü Liang said.
"Then forget it, we won't wait."
Before Guo Xuyang could finish speaking, Wang Yu's voice was heard, "I say, Manager Guo, we've come from afar, you can't just not wait for us."
Upon hearing this voice, Pi Xiaoqian knew that his plan to go out and have fun tonight was ruined, and he quickly said, "Brothers, I apologize.
I'll treat you another day, but tonight it's not possible."
"We're waiting for you. Wasn't Fatty just saying that after we eat, we'd find a place to sing?" Guo Xuyang said.
"Is that so? We've been traveling by train all day and are really tired. How about another day?" Wang Yu said.
"Exactly, exactly. We need to rest well today, and we have to help tomorrow. Another day," Pi Xiaoqian quickly chimed in.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Yu, Jiang Wu Xi, and Xu Li Ping were completely taken aback.
"It's good that you're here. Come, come, brothers, pour the wine.
It was my fault yesterday, I couldn't hold back, and I made my brothers feel wronged.
After dinner, have Fatty take you to the Ying Bin Hotel, so Brother Liang, who's afraid of his wife, doesn't have to worry when he gets back," Guo Xuyang beckoned.
Tong Xin stood up, opened the case, and placed two bottles of Guojiu on the dining table.
Xiao Qi and Pi Xiaoqian quickly poured a glass for each of them, and even Jiang Wu Xi had a full glass.
"I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I can't drink," Jiang Wu Xi said, pushing the wine glass away.
"It's tiring from the journey, drink a glass to relieve fatigue. One glass is fine," Pi Xiaoqian persuaded.
"Forget it, if Xiao Xi can't drink, don't force her.
She hasn't been eating well these past few days and has been feeling a bit nauseous," Wang Yu said.
Jiang Wu Xi tugged at Wang Yu's sleeve, telling her not to say anything.
"What's the big deal? If you're not feeling well, you should say it! Only then will they stop urging you to drink," Wang Yu said, looking at Jiang Wu Xi.
"How did she get nauseous?" Xu Li Ping asked.
"Maybe I ate something bad and caught a chill these past few days. I feel listless and don't want to move at all," Jiang Wu Xi said.
Xu Li Ping glanced at Guo Xuyang and said softly, "Could she be pregnant?"
Jiang Wu Xi didn't understand.
"Ms. Xu, pregnant with what?"
"You need to rest more these past few days, make sure to cover yourself with a blanket at night, and don't catch a cold. What do you feel like eating these days?"
Xu Li Ping didn't answer but continued speaking.
"Lemons, lemonade, and apples too. I'm already drooling."
"I heard you say that after mentioning lemons, your molars are about to fall out," Xu Li Ping said with a smile.
"I don't know what's going on. I never even dared to think about lemons before, but I've really liked them these past few days."
"Let's eat first. We can talk more when we get back," Guo Xuyang said, seeing that everyone's ears were perked up.
"Yang Zi, impressive," Pi Xiaoqian teased.
"Get lost. If you don't want to drink, get out," Guo Xuyang glared at Pi Xiaoqian and cursed.
Last time, he felt that the land around Jiang Wu Xi was almost ready for cultivation, and he didn't expect it to actually be cultivated.
It seemed that his goal of having a mother's basketball team and football team was one step closer.
The dozen or so people didn't dare to drink too much and kept their intake in check.
Guo Xuyang also stopped after a couple of drinks.
"Come, come, try this beef stewed with potatoes, see how it is?" Guo Xuyang beckoned.
The beef stewed with potatoes was served in a large basin, with generous portions.
Pi Xiaoqian first put a piece for Wang Yu and then reached out to get a piece himself.
"Delicious, truly delicious. The meat is fine and tender, and not tough at all," Wang Yu said after taking a bite.
"Yang Zi, where did you get this meat? Do you have any more? Save some for me."
Pi Xiaoqian said indistinctly while gnawing on the piece of meat in his hand.
"Yes. What do you want it for? If you want some, you can go to the kitchen and cut off a piece to take with you when you leave."
"I want to send a piece to my elderly parents. This meat is too delicious.
My old man likes this. But he's old and can't chew well, so I think he'll be able to eat this meat."
"I didn't expect you to be so filial. Go to the kitchen later and cut off twenty jin to take with you."
"Thank you, Yang Zi. Mama!" Pi Xiaoqian made a kissing gesture.
"Hmph. Can you stop disgusting me?" Guo Xuyang said, feigning a shudder.
"Yang Zi, I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing either?" Lü Liang said with a laugh.
"Don't spoil my appetite. Fatty is deliberately trying to disgust me."
Before Guo Xuyang could finish speaking, Jiang Wu Xi started to "retch" over there.
"You damn fatty, can't you do anything right?" Wang Yu said indignantly.
"It's alright, Xiao Yu. It's not his fault, I couldn't hold it in. *Cough*..." Jiang Wu Xi said, retching again.
Unfortunately, it was just dry heaving, and she didn't throw up anything.
