Chapter 57
Made it specially for Xu Hongdou?

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze for a moment.

Damai also realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurried back to make amends: "Ah, I was wrong, it was for you, Sister Hongdou and Sister Nana, after all, you two like to drink fruit wine, hehe."

"It's okay, let's combine Chinese and Western food. Although we eat French food, isn't it also served with white rice?" Xie Zhiyao said while looking at Zhang Wentao with his signature smile.

Hey, I finally know why I hate this guy.

Zhang Wentao felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He glanced at Xu Hongdou, and could only grit his teeth and said, "That's fine. You can drink whatever you want. Anyway, you can eat whatever you want. But Mr. Xie, the French also eat rice."

Rice, like flour, is an essential source of carbohydrates for humans.

However, compared to Eastern food culture, the proportion of rice in French table culture is not as much as it is used in Spanish cuisine.

In French cuisine, there is a dish called Riz Pilaf (butter pilaf, which comes from the Middle East and uses long rice from India) with rice as the main raw material.

"Do the French also eat rice?" Damai asked, turning her head, but she frowned secretly at Zhang Wentao.

Zhang Wentao nodded, and when Xie Zhiyao came back with the cherry wine, he realized why Damai frowned at him.

but what can i do
You said it yourself that it was specially made for Nana and Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou readily took the small glass of cherry wine, and even Ma Ye and Nana did not refuse.

Originally, Xie Zhiyao wanted to come over and pour a glass for Hu Youyu, Damai, and Zhang Wentao, but the three of them shook their heads and refused as if they had made an agreement.

Although the rhythm of the meal was disrupted, after Xie Zhiyao took his seat again, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Wentao who was sitting in the main seat.

Seeing the actions of several people, Zhang Wentao picked up the red wine glass filled with mineral water in front of him, took a breath, and said with a smile: "I... let's not make it so complicated, let's start."

He originally wanted to apologize to Xu Hongdou in front of everyone.

But as soon as the word "I" was said, seeing Xu Hongdou holding up a small wine glass filled with cherry wine, there was a trace of desolation in the corner of his eyes, and he changed his words to ask everyone not to say any more toasts.

After everyone toasted and clinked, Zhang Wentao took a sip of the colorless and tasteless mineral water, and didn't say any more, and the expression on his face became a little indifferent because of his mood.

Fortunately, among the crowd, there are not a few people who can liven up the atmosphere. Nana and Hu Youyu are particularly good at this.

Watching a few people talking and laughing, Zhang Wentao chewed on the paraffin-flavored beef, and chatted casually with Hu Youyu, who was chattering beside him.

"Hey, this turned out to be a potato. How did you do it?" Xu Hongdou picked up a diamond potato and put it in his mouth, exclaiming.

Although she was curious about what this strange-looking thing was when she was attracted by the exquisite presentation before, it was only after she ate it that she realized that it tasted like an ordinary potato.

"Well, right, Sister Hongdou, it took Brother Wen Tao a long time to make this one, and the one that looks like the bun is a mushroom, try it quickly."

Damai introduced to Xu Hongdou with joy on her face. She was usually afraid of society, and she rarely showed her existence in public like this.But today, she felt that Xu Hongdou should seriously experience Zhang Wentao's dedication to this meal.

Hours of busy work, careful cooking of every detail, and preparation for an apology for so long should not be defeated by the cherry wine Mr. Xie brought from home.

Although, after learning all the way, she knows that the cocktails on the table are not complicated to make.

But how can the careful process be compared to the cherry wine that is not brewed by myself?

"Well, I've put my heart into it." Xu Hongdou sighed vaguely, but disappointed Damai, who had hoped for her answer, and couldn't find fault with it.

Hu Youyu smiled, and said: "It's not just hard work, but it took a lot of effort. For this meal, I followed Lao Zhang to the village entrance to carry things at noon, and I changed my clothes when I came back."

Nana nodded and said, "Indeed, the sun is quite hot at noon today. When Xu Hongdou went out to chase customers and came back, he was sweating profusely, and his clothes were wet."

Hearing this, Zhang Wentao realized that when they met during the day, Xu Hongdou was chasing customers who hadn't paid the bill.

The distance between Youfeng Restaurant and the entrance of the village is not short, and the "flat feet" must be quite painful when running... Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Xu Hongdou's position with a bit of distress in his heart.

Seeing that she was discussing something with Xie Zhiyao with a smile.

Suddenly, the pity that just appeared in my heart was overturned by the "jealous jar".

Unhappy, he saw that Hu Youyu on the right had no etiquette for eating French food at all. He was holding a rice bowl and chopsticks and chomping at the beef. He got up straight away and walked to the kitchen amidst everyone's confusion.

Then he came back with two spoons, handed them to Hu Youyu directly and said, "Here, it tastes better this way."

So, under the doubts of others, he didn't care how carefully he put the plate, he directly picked up the rice bowl, scooped up a few pieces of beef with a spoon, and ate it.

After finishing speaking, he also said to the barley who was closest to him, with wide eyes and small mouth, looking at him: "It smells so good!"

……

"Wen Tao, I will go back with Ma Ye first, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Ah."

Beside the stone table in the small courtyard, Zhang Wentao stretched his waist after cleaning up the kitchen, relieved the fatigue of his back, sat on the bamboo chair, and tasted the last pot of black tea made for him by Master Ma, with his seemingly leisurely hands on the back of his head On the bed, looking up at the moon in the sky, looking up at the evening wind.

Everyone drank a little high, mainly kirsch mixed with cocktails, it was inevitable that they would feel a little high after the meal.In addition, there is some BBQ going on tomorrow. After everyone finished eating, those who could still work cleaned up the kitchen together. As for the barley, who couldn't hold enough alcohol, and Xu Hongdou, who drank a little too much, they went back to rest early.

After Xu Hongdou left, Xie Zhiyao took Nana to chat for a while while Hu Youyu, Ma Ye, and Zhang Wentao were cleaning up the kitchen, and then left.

……

I don't know how long it took, and the night was bottomless, and the lights in Room 6 on the second floor of the small courtyard suddenly turned on.Xu Hongdou vomited in the bathroom, rinsed it off, and looked at herself in the mirror with hazy eyes.

An intoxicating oval face, under the yellowish light, the skin beside the slightly red cheeks looks a little pale.

The hair wet with sweat sticks to the face, and the corners of the eyes droop slightly, there is an indescribable feeling of pity.

She had a bad stomach before. Originally, because of her friend's illness, she paid attention to health preservation. After more than half a year of recuperation, she recovered well. As a result, she came to Yunmiao Village and drank a few times.

The old problem started again.

At the dinner table today, she drank the most besides a few men.The others are okay, they all drink with one kind of wine.

She was the only one who was greedy for the light cherry sweetness of the light pink kirsch, and heard from Barley that the cocktail was specially prepared by Zhang Wentao for today's dinner, although she had already sentenced the other party to "death sentence" in her heart.

But being told by Damai in public, she still couldn't hold back and drank some.

Because the two kinds of wine were mixed together and the food was greasy, her stomach started to protest in the middle of the night.

After the sound of running water "哗哗".

Xu Hongdou, who was a little exhausted, gradually regained consciousness. Enduring the discomfort in her stomach, she took a towel to dry the water droplets on her face and left the bathroom. She put on a coat and gently opened the door.

Looking at it for a while, the distance outside the door is quiet.

In this small village far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there seems to be only a little insect chirping at night, and the bright night light soothes people's tired hearts after a day.

A gust of cold night wind blew slightly, Xu Hongdou came back to his senses and tightened his clothes, took out his mobile phone and prepared to walk towards the restaurant.

She wanted to drink some hot water to warm her stomach.

When I lowered my head and wanted to walk down with the light of my phone,
In the dining room, a dim light is always on for no one...
