Chapter 815 - Birthday Party (1)
The next day, the Xue family’s small villa was packed.
The fact that Xue Sheng could achieve such results in Bin City meant that he was a very powerful person. Even if he started from scratch, the people in Bin City would still give him face.
Moreover, Xue Xi’s boyfriend was the founder of the God of Fortune Group. All the prestigious families in Bin City had come.
The men gathered and talked mostly about business.
When Old Master Xue entered, he was welcomed to the seat of honor by Xue Sheng. When he sat at the spot where he was shown, Old Master Xue was instantly very happy.
Initially, when he came, he thought that his son had become too distant. Now, the Old Master seemed to have the air of a family head. He asked, “Son, there are quite a lot of people here today. Which chef did you hire in your kitchen? Yesterday, we said that we would lend you help as your family, but you didn’t agree. During the New Year period, all the chefs’ schedules are full. Don’t serve any unpresentable dishes!”
At the mention of this, Xue Sheng said, “Oh, I really couldn’t hire a famous chef at first. Later, Xixi said that they’ve already found one. We hired the chef that worked in the canteen when she was in the orphanage.”
Old Master Xue was stunned. The creases on his face opened up a little due to his shock. Shortly after, his brows furrowed tightly together. “What delicious food can the chef from a canteen make? You’re too mischievous! Son, I know you don’t want to rely on your family anymore, but at this time, how can you be so careless? Xixi’s birthday party must not be mocked by others! Sigh!”
Xue Sheng was actually not confident, but since Xue Xi had suggested it, he could not turn it down. Although he had also found a few helpers, he was still a little worried.
He hesitated and said, “It should work, right?”
The old master hurriedly waved his hands. “Quickly contact a hotel and get them to send stuff over. There’s still time!”
Just as Xue Sheng was about to say something, someone said, “Eh, the dishes for tonight are here.”
The banquet was mostly buffet-style.
The complete dishes were laid out. If anyone was hungry, they could take a plate and pick their own food. The pastries and drinks were the same.
A few large and exquisite platters were placed in the dining area. The small plates beside them were also ready. It was time for dinner. Seeing this situation, everyone walked over.
On this side, Old Master Xue also followed. The people beside him were also supporting him. Someone asked, “Your eldest son’s food is definitely not bad. We must try it!”
After all, Xue Xi’s boyfriend was the founder of the God of Fortune Group!
In order to please him, someone asked, “Which chef did you invite?”
“Yeah, who did they invite? Did they come from Jing City? The best chef there is a famous chef from the Imperial Hotel, but it’s also very difficult to invite them…”
“It’s definitely going to be difficult. That’s Fan Dashou’s disciple!”
The group of people’s compliments made Old Master Xue wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
He couldn’t help but complain in his heart. Since they were going to hold a birthday party, why didn’t they prepare it in advance? They didn’t even have a good chef.
He coughed awkwardly and said, “It’s just an ordinary chef. The banquet was decided in a hurry, so they invited one randomly. Are you guys hungry? Let’s see what dishes were made today.”
Everyone turned to look at the platters.
Apart from a few common dishes, today’s main dish was actually… Red Plum Pearl Fragrance?
This…
Everyone looked at Xue Sheng in confusion.
Actually, this dish was quite normal. There were many restaurants that served it. However, the reason why this dish didn’t become the main dish often wasn’t that it was too ordinary. It was because it was actually a little difficult to make it top-notch.
Apart from Fan Dashou, no one in the kitchen would treat this dish as their signature dish.
Old Master Xue’s expression darkened as well. His face stiffened as he said, “Everyone, try it. It was made by an ordinary chef. I don’t think he’s very sensible…”
Not very sensible.
Those words made everyone understand.
The Xue family must have hired a mediocre chef, who made such a blunder.
They had just thought that since Xue Sheng came back to especially organize a banquet, and since the Xue family’s eldest daughter’s boyfriend was here, this banquet would definitely be very extra. They did not expect it to be like this.
This meant that the eldest daughter of the Xue family was not valued by her boyfriend. If she was, how could he not help hire a famous chef?
After all, although the date was set in a hurry, with the influence of the God of Fortune Group, they could at least hire one.
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, they smiled awkwardly and took a step forward.
Liu Yiqiu also walked over with a few wealthy ladies. When she saw this dish, she could not help but say, “Aiyo, usually, my sister-in-law talks so well of Xixi’s boyfriend. I didn’t expect… hm. But men are mainly concerned about their careers. It’s impossible for them to really revolve around a woman.”
The others immediately understood what she meant.
Ye Li had been saying how much Xiang Huai valued Xue Xi, but he actually did not take the relationship to heart… or rather, he did not pay that much attention.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They didn’t say anything. After all, no one wanted to be the bad guy.
Seeing that everyone wasn’t cooperating, Liu Yiqiu pouted. She turned her head and saw that someone had already taken a bite. Hence, she couldn’t help but ask, “How’s the taste?”
