Chapter 311 Family Banquet
The fourth oldest brother of the Jiang family, Lu Yutingqiao and Dabo Jianglu, may be the ones who, besides Jiang Qiao, know best how much Zhou Zhi has helped Jiang Shuyi. When they accepted the toasts from the two of them, they didn't say much and only reached out and patted them.
Zhou Zhi's shoulders, and then drank the red wine in the glass.
Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he quickly emptied his glass, even though red wine should not be drunk like this.
In a big family, usually if the elder is able, he will lead a family. This is almost the way of the Jiang family.
Jiang Shuyi said before that Zhou Zhi only knew everyone's seniority, occupation and position, and could only guess it by looking at their clothes.
Now with the introduction from his godfather, Zhou Zhi understood the specific duties of these people.
My uncle was at his most powerful, but before that he had been working in the north.
Shudu is the birthplace of the Jiang family, so his uncle has a very high position, but his influence in Shudu was not as good as his second uncle, who was the district public security director, and his second aunt, who worked at the provincial tax bureau.
But now that the uncle has come to Shu as the second-in-command, the situation is of course different.
The second uncle's attitude towards Zhou Zhi was relatively cold, that is, towards the kind of person who might never see him again after drinking this time. It was obvious that Zhou Zhi's enthusiasm made him wary, and he regarded him as the kind of person who tends to follow the crowd.
However, the second uncle did not care about Zhou Zhi because of his young age. Little did he know that Zhou Zhi also considered that he was Jiang Shuyi's elder and did not care about him.
Uncle San has been an artist who has lived in the world of music since he was a child. He also went to Vienna to study. He is considered a member of the family who has drank a lot of foreign water. Even Third Aunt, his style is different from everyone else in the family.
Art and literature have something in common. After just a few words of conversation, Zhou Zhi and San Bo both had a good first impression of each other.
But the third child has probably been a rebel in the family since he was a child. Judging from the length and grayness of his hair, he is probably more worried about his brothers than Jiang Qiao.
But drinking is quite refreshing.
When they came to respect Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao smiled and said: "Shu Yi doesn't understand the rules. You have to respect Uncle Wu and the others first, and then your father last."
The godfather picked up the cup and said, "Old Wu, I've seen a lot of people. My niece's appearance is extraordinary, especially her nose, which is pretty, and her head is plump."
"This is what the photo books say: 'The nose is as straight as the gallbladder, the head is straight, the mountain roots are continuous and undeviated, the orchid palace is vague and small, and the wealth and prosperity are in the prime of life.' The future prospects are limitless."
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Shu Yi, my godfather is easy to make divination, so I have to give you a toast."
Jiang Shuyi raised the cup: "Thank you, godfather."
"If you really want to call her that, I won't object." The godfather smiled and clinked glasses with Jiang Shuyi.
"ah……"
"No problem, let's pay tribute to Director Zhang and Teacher Li again..." Zhou Zhi quickly interrupted and let the slip of the tongue go over.
When he arrived at the aunts' table, Zhou Zhi didn't dare to overstep his duties. He was afraid that the seven aunts and eight aunts would stir up unfavorable topics, so he honestly became the waiter who refilled the wine.
When Zhou Zhi returned to the first table and sat down, he could see that Jiang Shuyi was really relieved.
This is the first time Jiang Shuyi has completed such social etiquette at the wine table. For her who is a little afraid of society, it can be considered an achievement anyway.
After walking around for a while, I drank quite a bit. The seafood porridge happened to be served, and Zhou Zhi started to share the porridge with everyone.
First, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Lin handed the bowls to them and added: "See what I said is right? The seafood used in this porridge is scallops and shrimps. The scallops are dried and the shrimps are quick-frozen.
, which shows that it is still difficult to bring fresh seafood into the mainland. Now our large table is either made of local ingredients, dried seafood, or quick-frozen seafood."
Jiang Lin regretted his previous behavior, but he was looked down upon by this person who was a few years younger than him. He took the bowl and tasted it: "It's quite fresh, elbow. Does that mean the noodles are not high-end enough?"
"It's not that it's not high-end enough." Zhou Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to whether Jiang Lin's words were setting a trap for himself: "The raw seafood is just for living, but the live seafood is most likely artificially cultured."
"As for quick-frozen seafood, they all come from deep oceans and are purely natural and wild. Compared with artificially farmed raw seafood, there is no telling which one is better."
"But times are advancing. Didn't there even be salmon and arctic clams in Sichuan before? I think it won't be too far away when Sichuan can eat the vigorous seafood that the two cousins mentioned."
"I admire the operator of this restaurant more and more. He is able to introduce Cantonese cuisine to the Shu capital under many restrictions. This is an even more remarkable thing."
After speaking, Jiang Shuyi also added: "I just drank wine. Shuyi has some porridge to nourish his stomach."
People are like this, if they have a prejudice against you, even if you just breathe next to them, it will be wrong.
On the other hand, if you let go of your prejudices and speak frankly, you will often find that the people you hated or discriminated against in the past are actually pretty good people.
It cannot be said that Zhou Zhi does not have the dandy temperament in Jiang Lin and Jiang Yuan, but Zhou Zhi's temperament is just overshadowed by a more academic temperament.
In fact, many people are unable to define what is a dandy temperament. This term comes from "Han Shu·Xu Zhuan 1", "It is not good to be in a group with Wang Xu's disciples and to be among the dandies." It used to refer to bureaucrats
, the children of landlords and other wealthy and powerful families who spend their days eating, drinking and having fun, but do not do any serious work.
Later, the word changed and became a scornful term for the second generation of rich families who do nothing to win.
Later, this word even became a label for young people who live a good life, advocate consumption, love social interaction, and pursue romance.
No one anymore cares whether they create social value that matches their own consumption, and no one anymore thinks about whether their lives come from their own abilities or the legacy of their parents.
In short, "in a nutshell", the purpose has been achieved.
How to correctly understand this phenomenon is another matter. At least the wine table now becomes hello, me and everyone. The atmosphere is much better than before Jiang Shuyi and Zhou Zhi went out to toast.
Things that are gained inexplicably are most easily lost inexplicably.
Discrimination and intolerance come from a sense of superiority, and Jiang Shuyi's two cousins' sense of superiority in front of Zhou Zhi was completely inexplicable. Therefore, after being frightened by Zhou Zhi, they naturally disappeared as quickly as they came.
In fact, Zhou Zhi really didn't care about this, only Jiang Shuyi sneered inwardly.
Seeing Zhou Zhi laughing and chatting with everyone, Jiang Shuyi thought that Zhou Zhi had wronged her because of her, and silently made a note to her two cousins in her heart.
The adults didn't even know about the little intrigue among the younger generations. At least the Jiang family's family banquet was very grand, which showed that everyone valued Jiang Qiao and Jiang Shuyi, and invited Jia Chuan's party
