Text Chapter 140

I was supposed to sit with the chairman's wife on the side by the window, but the chairman refused. He arranged for me to sit with Lin Qisheng and sit opposite them.

Fortunately, Lin Qicheng didn't push me away and told me to sit far away from him.

Opposite me is the chairman's wife who is admiring and changing the flower arrangement in front of the table with a kind and loving expression, and Lin Qicheng's expression has become solemn again, looking at the chairman of Lin Qicheng with a slightly solemn expression...

I put my coat away and waited for the meal. I ate a lot in the morning, but I didn't expect to be a little hungry at noon.

For western-style dining, servants come in through the mahogany arch with a peony pattern on the inner door that has been opened on the right side of the restaurant. Behind the left side of the tea room is the kitchen and cleaning room.

The servants brought four square pots of dark yellow glaze with a circle of flowers carved on the bottom of the pots, and asked each of us to wash our hands with warm water from the petals in the square pots, and the servants handed us sterilized warm towels with silver clips wipe clean.

More than a dozen waitresses in silver-patterned white coats and satin belts of various colors were busy back and forth, setting up a lot of high-end and special tableware one after another. Pour warm water into the cups and place them near the dining table where we sat.

Then put two three-layer silver dining baskets inlaid with pearls on the top of the flower cloud frame in the middle of the dining table.

From top to bottom, there are six fish-shaped bowls with chopped large pieces of fruit mixed with salad dressing on the first layer of the meal basket, and the second layer is eight small bowls with curly waves. There are several kinds of small breads on the porcelain plate, and the third layer is a layer of flower petals that have been washed and moistened with the picked morning dew as a base.

There are various spoons and tableware placed on small honey-colored porcelain plates carved into green leaves, and some small plates are placed beside the dining basket, and there are also pocket jade bowls containing several kinds of jams and several kinds of caviar, and some slices. Freshly cut cheeses in shapes and cubes are placed on long moiré porcelain plates carved into trays of different flowers. (How many plates, bowls, plates, forks, knives, and chopsticks are needed, so many servants are required to serve a casual lunch, and the modern rich are not inferior to the ancient nobles...)
