Chapter: 3199

Subsequently, Hong Wu led everyone to the diamond suite of Tian Xiang Manor. At this time, the suite inside had been cleaned up extremely thoroughly.

On the large round table, eight cold dishes had already been arranged, with four vegetarian and four non-vegetarian options, each dish made with great care.

In the center of the round table, two bottles of premium Mao Tai wine and two bottles of Romanee-Conti red wine, worth tens of thousands, were placed.

On the table, a total of four sets of exquisite dinnerware were arranged, with a golden card next to each set of dinnerware, on which beautiful cursive script wrote various information.

Hong Wu said to Ms. Cui and a few others, "I've already prepared a menu beforehand, with each dish's serving order, ingredients, and characteristics listed out in detail. The four honorable guests can take a look and get an idea of what they'll be eating. If there are any dietary restrictions or other needs, please feel free to let me know at any time!"

Cui Yanzhong picked up one of the cards and looked at it, praising, "This handwriting is truly beautiful! The paper is also very exquisite!"

As he was speaking, he held the card under his nose to smell it, exclaiming in amazement, "The ink fragrance is very strong. It should not be from modern times!"

Hong Wu couldn't help but hold up his thumb in admiration, saying, "Mr. Cui truly has an eye for recognizing gems. This writing is by a famous calligrapher from Jinling who uses the official ink of the Ming dynasty, made during the Yongle era."

Cui Yanzhong couldn't help but praise again, "Hong Wu's work is indeed meticulous and exquisite. It's comparable to what I've seen in Beijing!"

Hong Wu hastened to say, "Don't worry, Mr. Cui, my humble abode, the Tianxiang Manor, wouldn't normally be able to do this kind of service, but today it's all thanks to Ms. Leaf's advance arrangements, so I've put in a bit more effort..."

Cui Yanzhong held up his thumb again and smiled, saying, "Good job, Mr. Hong!"

Hong Wu bowed respectfully, saying, "No, no, it's only what should be done."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ms. Leaf and said, "Ms. Leaf, I'll leave you to enjoy your meal now. The cake will arrive shortly according to Ms. Cui's instructions. If any of you have any needs, please feel free to call me!"

Ms. Leaf nodded slightly and said to Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, please prepare three glasses of pure water to be sent over."

Hong Wu listened to Ms. Leaf's instruction to prepare pure water and immediately opened his mouth, saying, "Master Leaf, would you like me to send some excellent Mingshan Longjing tea over? It was freshly harvested from Suzhou and Hangzhou two days ago and is very good."

Hong Wu seemed not to know why Master Leaf asked him to prepare pure water, so Master Leaf smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't bother with that. Just prepare the pure water directly."

Master Leaf then added, "Oh, by the way, can you also help me prepare a fruit knife?"

Although Hong Wu didn't understand why, he still nodded immediately and said, "Okay, Master Leaf. I'll go prepare it right away and send it over!"

Cui Yunzhong's wife and Cui Qiuyi were all puzzled about why Master Leaf wanted pure water and a fruit knife, but they didn't ask any further questions.

Master Leaf then smiled and said, "Cui Uncle, Mrs. Lin, and the children, let's sit down first!"

"Alright!" Cui Yunzhong laughed heartily and said, "Son, today is your birthday, and Uncle is really thrilled. We can say whatever we want to drink two cups!"

Master Leaf didn't hesitate and nodded, saying, "No problem, Uncle! I'll drink as much as you do!"

After that, he took the initiative to open a bottle of Moutai and poured two cups for himself and Cui Yunzhong.

Cui Qi also quickly opened a bottle of Romanee-Conti red wine and slowly poured it into a wake-up glass while talking to Leaf Master: "Leaf Master, I have a performance tonight, so I won't drink too much. I'll pour you and your parents a cup soon after the show is over. Then we can have some fun drinking together!"

Master Leaf said with a smile: "Don't worry, drinking a bit more won't interfere with your work." JrNovels.com
