Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 48

The door of the restaurant was pushed open and the main dishes were served one after another.

Jane picked up the wine glass at hand, and the table became quiet. All eyes were focused on her.

She smiled and said, "Welcome to my humble home. I wish you all a pleasant evening."

The wine glasses on the table were dazzling, and the guests’ smiles were warm and bright.

Starting with the appetizers, the table began to receive compliments.

Jane was also surprised. She usually only thinks that Aunt Li's skills are very good, but she didn't know that she would perform so well tonight. Every dish is delicious in color and flavor. She vaguely felt that the taste of some dishes seemed familiar, but she had no time to think carefully about where she had tasted them.

"Mr. Cheng, where did you hire the cook tonight?" Fu Jiajun wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. He gestured to the dish closest to him and said: "Very good, very good. The winter bamboo shoots in this season are inherently good, and this method is fresh and clever. It cannot be done without a skilled cook."

Jane smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, these are all made in our own kitchen. Today's dinner is truly home-cooked."

"Mr. Cheng, are you kidding?" Fu Jiajun looked a little exaggerated, and other guests also agreed.

Jane knew that these guests here, even if they could not say that they had eaten all over the world's food, were at least well-informed. Although Aunt Li's cooking tonight was amazing, they were mostly polite when they praised her so much. She smiled and asked the guests to eat more, and said very skillfully: "We are in a hurry and we are not well prepared. If there is an opportunity, I can invite you to my humble house again in the future. I will definitely serve fresher and more unique dishes then."

The happy guests who are eating will smile heartily when they hear this.

Mei Mengxian spoke first: "The food here is so delicious, my wife and I will have to bother you a few more times."

Mrs. Mei continued next to her: "If Miss Cheng thinks we are troublesome, we can ask our cook to come to the house for advice. Or when we want to entertain guests at home, we can borrow the chef from the house. Miss Cheng, is that okay?"

Jane smiled, it happened that a new dish was served at this time, and while she was inviting everyone to taste it, Lao Li came over and said, "Sir, Mr. Cheng Zhishen is here."

Jane couldn't help but froze when she heard the words "Cheng Zhishen".

After just a short while, Ping Yongan asked: "Why, have you invited Mr. Cheng Jiu tonight?" The sound was neither high nor low, but most of the people present heard it.

Jane put down her chopsticks and looked at Peter Pang.

Peter Pang was eating the food with his head down. He didn't know whether it was the food that satisfied him, or whether Fu Jiajun beside him said something that made him happy, and he was smiling.

Jane stood up, but before she could move, a tall man in a suit had already walked in.

"Everyone, I'm sorry! I'm late." Cheng Zhishen stood two steps away from Jane and said with a smile, "Jane."

"Mr. Cheng." Jane also smiled and stretched out her hand to Cheng Zhishen, "Good evening."

"Good evening." Cheng Zhishen said slowly. Hold Jane's hand and let go loosely.

"Please sit down." Jane gestured.

Everyone can see that there are obviously no seats left.

Cheng Zhishen waited patiently for the servant to bring him a chair. During this time, he had already greeted everyone he knew. Fu Jiajun was more familiar with Cheng Zhishen. Before Shen could sit down, he said: " Didn't Brother Zhishen go to Nanjing?"
