my old life

Chapter 2428
Ms. Lin is very skilled in laying dishes. She did not speak during the laying process, and she also paid great attention to the curvature and position of her upper body.

If hair or saliva is dropped while cooking, the grade will be crushed in an instant, and people will feel disgusted and resented from the bottom of their hearts.

When the dish was finished, Ms. Lin took a step back, stood behind Mike to introduce the dishes, and asked Mike to taste them.

In the past, my second uncle took me to a lot of dinner parties, but I never participated in too high-end dinner parties. This is the limitation of the layout.

Now Mike took me to expand my vision and structure. This is the first time I have participated in this kind of dinner, and it is also my learning process.

Any theory needs to be transformed into practice through life. The celebrities I met today refreshed my cognition and made me understand what a celebrity is.

A real celebrity does not rely on a single face to mess with the meal, let alone fill up the number of people in the banquet. From the regulation of interests to the observation of words, everything must be comprehensive.

As the saying goes, live and learn, if you can't improve your vision and structure, you can only rest on your laurels.

Many people live in the same city and think they know a city well, but in fact there are still many unknown worlds.

"Mr. Mike, how about a taste of our place?" Ms. Lin smiled generously, but gave off a professional feeling.

"OK." Mike nodded lightly with a taste, and didn't raise a thumb or praise, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

According to the habits of oriental civilization, the appreciation of the guests is the greatest gratitude to the host and the affirmation of the wine table.

"Let's toast Mr. Mike again!" Ms. Yu smiled and picked up the glass, calmly resolving the embarrassment, but Mike didn't express anything.

He didn't seem to have heard Miss Yu's words, and he didn't seem to have any intention of drinking. Instead, it was a bit confusing to understand his thoughts.

"Mike?" I reminded in a low voice, shaking my glass by the way.

"Let me introduce, this is my friend, Hawkeye."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment, and then Mr. Sun stood up with a smile, and everyone's eyes fell on me.

Mike's introduction of me alone was undoubtedly to give me face, and it also made the celebrities present feel embarrassed, because they ignored me!

"Come on, let's welcome our friend, Hawkeye!" Mr. Sun smoothed things over with a smile, and the atmosphere was still very awkward.

"Toast to you!" Ms. Yu shook the wine glass in her hand, and I smiled and picked it up.

At this moment, I am a little dumbfounded. I didn't expect Mike to do such a thing. I know this is a way to get closer, but it still makes people feel comfortable.

This feeling is like flattery, knowing it is flattery but it sounds comfortable, human nature!
"Mike, toast." I raised my wine glass and clinked it. Ms. Lin took two steps back to make way for her, and she finally took her mouth away from me.

In fact, I didn't mean to get to know these people, but they really seemed to regard me as a small character. Could it be because of my appearance?
I looked at it and thought it was nothing, except that the clothes on my body were sloppy after a few days, and there were a few stubbles on my chin...

In fact, the real reason is the location!
The obsession of the oriental civilization with wine table culture has become an unwritten rule, and everyone is ranked according to the number of seats.

I didn't take the seat of vice guest, but took the seat of accompanying guest beside Mike, no wonder the two ladies ignored me...

In fact, if they take the initiative to be polite with a person in the accompanying position, then it will appear that they are amateurs... But being too stylized also shows that they don't know how to be flexible.

Mr. Sun is the host of today's dinner, only Mike and I are here, no matter where I sit, I should not be ignored by them.

I drank a little wine and didn't seem to care. Mike always had an expression on his face, but everyone's attitude towards him was respectful. At this moment, I vaguely understood.

This guy Mike is obviously putting on airs, using coldness and aloofness to keep people away thousands of miles away, making it hard for people to understand his inner thoughts.

I understand that this routine has never been used, not only because of my young age, but also because of the principles of life.

I never feel that I am superior to others, and I don't like to put on airs and pretend to be cold, because my second uncle is such a down-to-earth person.

"Mr. Sun, let me serve vegetables for Mr. Hawkeye, okay?" Ms. Yu stood up on her own initiative, and she wanted to make amends at this time.

"Please trouble Ms. Yu." Mr. Sun glanced at me, as long as I don't object, it's fine.

Ms. Yu cleaned her hands with a moist towel. Her fingers were very white and slender, and even traces of blood vessels could be seen.

I subconsciously wanted to touch a cigarette, but I gave up the moment I touched it, because smoking on an occasion is a vulgar performance.

Now Mike looks like he is sitting on the Diaoyutai. I can't lose face for him, because a friend is a mirror around a person.

As the saying goes, the fish picks the fish, the shrimp picks the shrimp, and the tortoise is a family.

What kind of people will make what kind of friends, even if you don't know a person, you can guess it through the friends around you.

It is impossible for a person with a net worth of a million to be confused with a trafficker, and it is even more impossible to be friends with a person with a net worth of tens of millions, because the difference in grade and structure is too great!

"Excuse me, do you have any taboos, sir?" Miss Yu asked politely, deliberately ignoring the name Hawkeye.

In fact, a simple detail shows her attitude. She didn't mean to please me, because sir is a very standardized greeting.

"Don't eat sweet, don't eat spicy, don't eat vinegar and sauce." I said the taboo calmly, but I was actually putting on airs on purpose.

Generally speaking, when a boss grows to a certain extent, there will be more and more eccentricities and problems, and his taste will become more picky!
Ms. Yu thought for a while and began to cut the roast lamb. She cut the knife on the hind leg, but anyone who knows how to do it knows that the roasted hind leg is too tough.

"Cut the ribs." I said with a blank expression, which could complement Mike's next to me.

"The leg of lamb is juicy enough and has a better taste." Ms. Yu said with a smile. It sounded right, but she was rejecting me!

Rejection is a sign of contempt, and if it was Mike who spoke at this moment, would she recommend him?In other words, does she dare?
"The fat and thin ribs are the most delicious part. The combination of crispy and soft cotton, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the meat is thin and tasty."

I said softly, although I don't have much research on food, but barbecue can't bother me at all!
I haven't participated in high-end occasions, but I have eaten countless barbecues, all thanks to my second uncle!

Ms. Yu nodded and cut two slices. I don't know if she is ignorant, but the ribs cannot be sliced.

"It seems that Ms. Yu doesn't like to eat mutton." I joked with a smile, which was secretly mocking her.

"Oh? How did you know?" Miss Yu still kept a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed her heart.

Although I'm disheveled and sloppy, she shouldn't judge people by their appearance, and she shouldn't think of herself as a celebrity...

Celebrities, to put it bluntly, are high-society women, but to put it bluntly, they are high-end wine companions for men.

If the two of them were wealthy ladies of the upper class, would they still come to serve us bok choy and wine?Some truths can be understood in an instant.

"Use a sliced ​​knife for the leg of lamb, but use a vertical knife for the ribs. What you cut off like this is just the crispy surface."

I said something softly, with a relaxed tone and no blame. In fact, it can also be understood as contempt.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hawkeye to know so much about mutton. Let me do it." Ms. Lin took the initiative to smooth things over, took the knife and fork and started cutting the meat.

They thought I was a country bumpkin who had never eaten roast lamb, but I had never eaten pork and hadn't seen a pig run?What the hell haven't I seen in all these years?

Ms. Lin politely put a piece of meat on my plate. I pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but in fact I was secretly relieved!
Because I know this little bit, I heard it from my second uncle when I was eating roast lamb...

Mike picked up his teacup and glanced at me. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth while he was drinking tea. Maybe he didn't expect that I could make so many tricks...
