Chapter 44 Win the lottery
In addition to Xia Rufei, the people in the private room all turned their attention to the water spinach in Mr. Zheng's hand.
The most common dish of fried water spinach exudes an attractive fragrance and looks so beautiful. Each leaf is pure emerald green and has a little crystal luster. Against the background of the white plate, it looks like a jade craft.
Even Tian Huilan couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then asked with a smile:
"Mr. Zheng, we don't seem to order water spinach! Could it be that this is a new dish in your store, let's try it?"
Mr. Zheng hurriedly said:
"Mayor Tian, you misunderstood. This is the ingredients brought by Mr. Xia. We are just responsible for processing them. There are a few dishes behind them that will come immediately, using the ingredients provided by Mr. Xia."
"Oh? Xiaoxia, why do you bring your own food when you come to have a meal?" Tian Huilan couldn't help but feel a little funny and turned to Xia Ruofei and asked.
Xia Rufei explained with a smile:
"Professor Tian, Mayor Tian, these are new vegetables cultivated by a friend of mine. They are not only pure green and pollution-free, but also taste much better than the vegetables sold on the market. Today I bring them to you to try them together."
"Mr. Xia brought all the vegetables of great quality!" Mr. Zheng said, "The executive chef of the small shop praised these vegetables, saying that they were the best vegetables they had seen in decades of their career!"
"Is that so? Then we really need to try it!" Professor Tian was also very interested.
Mr. Zheng quickly put down the plate and quickly urged several other dishes to go.
"Come on, come on, everyone tastes it! This water spinach looks delicious!" Professor Tian said with a pickup of chopsticks.
After saying that, he took the initiative to pick up a chopstick and put it into his mouth. Tian Huilan and Wu Liqian also picked up some curiously, but Lu You did not move the chopsticks.
"Well! The taste is so good!" Professor Tian said while chewing, showing an enjoyable expression, "It's the first time I've lived to be so old that I have eaten such delicious water spinach! The taste... is simply indescribable, it's so delicious!"
Just now, Lu You was also attracted by this very good-looking water spinach and couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, when she heard Professor Tian's exaggerated comments, she couldn't help but speak:
"Grandpa, is it true? No matter how delicious it is, it is just water spinach, as praising as you said..."
Before Lu You finished speaking, Tian Huilan exclaimed:
"Xiao Xia, this new vegetable is really extraordinary! The taste is so good!"
Wu Liqian also nodded in agreement while eating it. Obviously, this simple water spinach dish has been unanimously recognized by everyone - of course, Lu You, who is a little angry, doesn't count.
Professor Tian glanced at Lu You and said:
"Youyou, why don't you taste it? By the way, what did you say just now?"
It turns out that the old man was just consuming and didn't hear what Lu You just said.
But Xia Rufei heard it, and he couldn't help but look at the little girl with some amusement.
Lu You also felt Xia Rufei's gaze and immediately glared at him in a hidden light, pouting his little mouth slightly, and his anger made Xia Rufei both funny and puzzled-this little girl seemed to be a little hostile to him...
"Youyou, try it!" Tian Huilan also said, "Don't you like eating vegetables the most? The taste of this water spinach will definitely not disappoint you!"
Seeing that both her grandfather and her mother admired this plate of water spinach so much, Lu You finally gained the upper hand in curiosity. She also picked up some of the chopsticks and picked them up, muttering as she returned them to her mouth:
"I don't believe it anymore. It's really as delicious as you said?"
But when the water spinach was eaten into her mouth, Lu You's expression suddenly stopped, and then her expression became colorful. She chewed in big mouths. Although she didn't say anything, the enjoyment expression on her face had already explained everything.
Professor Tian asked with a smile:
"Yuyou, how does it taste?"
Lu You's pretty face turned slightly red and said with a firm mouth:
"It's just that! It's okay..."
But even though she said that, she was not slow in her hands. Before she could swallow the chopsticks, she immediately stretched out her chopsticks, as if she was afraid that someone would rob her.
Professor Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and Tian Huilan also had a funny and helpless expression.
Xia Ruofei and Wu Liqian wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only work hard to hold it in.
Soon the remaining dishes were served, including braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold cucumbers and stir-fried mustard greens.
They are all very ordinary dishes, but the chefs in the club are very skilled, and the ingredients provided by Xia Rufei are definitely the top, so they are really full of color, fragrance and taste. Even Xia Rufei himself couldn't help but eat a lot.
He had to admit that he specialized in his profession and used the same ingredients. The chef of the club made it much better than the dishes he cooked at home.
Professor Tian and others were very excited to eat. Even Tian Huilan kept picking up dishes, obviously being conquered by the deliciousness of these dishes. Lu You even ate quickly regardless of her image. A small half of these dishes were in her stomach.
When Xia Rufei saw this, she couldn't help but worry about whether her eating method would cause her stomach to become irritated.
After dinner, Professor Tian couldn't help but joke:
"Xiao Xia! I originally wanted our family to invite you to a meal to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect that it would be our benefit from you. Your new vegetables taste so good!"
Xia Rufei said with a smile:
"If Professor Tian likes it, I will send you some home from time to time in the future."
"Will this... not be very good?" Professor Tian asked with a hint of hesitation.
"This is nothing. It's all grown by myself anyway, and it's not worth much." Xia Ruofei smiled, "Besides, I have a car, which is very convenient."
"Then I'm not polite! Thank you, Xiao Xia!" Professor Tian said with a smile. His impression of Xia Rufei was a little better.
Lu You looked around and suddenly complained: This guy must be trying to get in touch! He was eating and giving away, but he was deliberately approaching his grandfather...
Xia Rufei naturally didn't know Lu You's thoughts, otherwise she would have said sadly and angrily: This girl is just an ungrateful wolf who eats it all and then turns her back on her! The one she ate just now was her!
Tian Huilan looked at Xia Rufei thoughtfully and asked:
"Xiao Xia, if your new vegetable is launched on the market, it should be very popular. Do you have any plans for this?"
Lu You immediately stared at Xia Rufei, thinking that this guy's fox's tail was about to be exposed! He must have hit the snake and put on the stick, and asked his mother to help!
What she didn't expect was that Xia Rufei just smiled lightly and said:
"We have no plans to promote it on a large scale for the time being. The main reason is that this new vegetable is still in the research and development stage. We still have some problems to solve, such as the problem of large-scale planting. If it cannot be solved, the yield will not increase and it will be meaningless to launch it rashly on the market."
Tian Huilan smiled and nodded and said:
"Well! Steady and steady is the right idea! If there are any difficulties in the future, or if there are any things that need coordination on the government, you can come to me."
"Okay! Then I'll thank Mayor Tian first!" Xia Ruofei replied with a smile.
However, even Lu You could see that Xia Rufei answered more out of politeness, rather than really wanting to ask Tian Huilan for help.
Lu You couldn't help but show a look of confusion - this seems a bit different from the script she imagined...
Tian Huilan asked Lin Qiao about her schooling again. Xia Rufei told her that the school was very good, and Wu Liqian also helped find a house nearby. Xia Rufei expressed her special thanks for this.
After chatting for a while, the family dinner ended successfully.
The club and Sanfang Qixiang Scenic Area have an agreement to open a dedicated passage. Some important guests' cars can directly pick up people at the entrance of the club. When everyone walked out, Tian Huilan's driver had already driven her Audi car to the door and waited.
Standing at the door of the club, Tian Huilan asked with a smile:
"Xiaoxia, I'll ask the driver to take you away?"
"No need for Mayor Tian, I drove here myself." Xia Ruofei said, "I'll just find a designated driver in the club later."
Everyone drank some wine in the evening, so Xia Rufei naturally couldn't drive anymore.
"Okay. If you have time to visit home!" Tian Huilan sent an invitation to Xia Ruofei, then turned to Wu Liqian and said, "Xiao Wu, stay here to help arrange it."
"Okay Mayor Tian!" Wu Liqian said.
"No, no, no," Xia Ruofei said quickly, "It's getting late, and I'm not at ease when Sister Wu comes home alone! There is a designated driving service at the club, so I'll just find one."
Xia Rufei has something to do later! Naturally, he doesn't want Wu Liqian to stay.
Tian Huilan pondered slightly and nodded and said:
"Okay, then we'll leave first!"
Professor Tian also smiled at Xia Ruofei and said:
"Xiaoxia, remember to come home! I'm still thinking about your new vegetables! Haha..."
"Remember! Professor Tian, don't worry!" Xia Ruofei also smiled.
Lu You didn't say anything. In fact, she was silent all night, but Xia Rufei was not familiar with her, so she just smiled and nodded. Lu You didn't respond to Xia Rufei and got into the car directly.
"This kid..." Tian Huilan glared at Lu You with some angriness, and then said to Xia Ruofei, "Xiao Xia, don't mind! Youyou is spoiled by us and has a little arrogant personality..."
"It's okay..." Xia Ruofei smiled, "Mayor Tian, then you can go slowly!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
Professor Tian’s family and Wu Liqian got into the car. Xia Ruofei waved goodbye to them, watched the car leave the club, and then turned around and walked back.
"Mr. Zheng, come out! Mayor Tian and the others have left..." Xia Ruofei said with a smile-he had noticed that General Zheng, who was in the club, was hiding in the shadow of the light next to him!
This was something Xia Rufei expected.
Sure enough, the chubby Mr. Zheng walked out with a smile on his face and said:
"Mr. Xia, fortunately you didn't leave! Otherwise, I really don't know where to find you?"
Xia Rufei smiled slightly and asked knowingly:
"Mr. Zheng has something to ask me for?"
Mr. Zheng said with a passionate smile on his face:
"Is there something I want to talk to Mr. Xia, I wonder if you are inconvenient?"
"Go in and talk!" Xia Ruofei said lightly, then raised his foot and walked into the club. Mr. Zheng hurriedly followed quickly.
Xia Rufei had a confident smile on his face, because everything was in his plan.
