Chapter 342: Simple Self-Service Meal Receives Praise; Team Building Time Shared After Meal
"Haha, Miss Bai, don't be so modest! The food in your [Fairyland] is already famous far and wide. Every single dish is a delicacy of the world, absolutely delicious!"
Old Master Lu's eyes lit up when he saw the table full of delicacies, and he quickly stepped forward to support Bai Mengran.
Before he could finish speaking, his stomach rumbled twice, much to everyone's amusement.
"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with Miss Bai! With such delicious food before me, who could resist!"
As he spoke, Old Lu reached for his plate, turned to look at everyone, and said loudly, "Don't just stand there, everyone! Don't be shy, help yourselves and you'll have plenty to eat!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically, gathering in twos and threes, and imitating Old Lu, each picking up their own plate.
Walking slowly along the edge of the long table, my eyes darted back and forth among the dazzling array of food, carefully selecting my favorite dishes...
"Hehe, the food in this [Fairyland] is indeed as good as its reputation. Every dish is just right to hit my taste buds. It's so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue!"
Old Lu picked up a sizzling piece of roasted meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, his face full of delight.
After savoring the delicious taste in his mouth, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and sincerely praise it:
"Especially this roasted meat, the skin is roasted to a golden brown and crispy, with an enticing aroma, while the inside is tender and juicy, just right. The rich aroma wafts straight into your nose, and one bite is simply amazing!"
"Elder Lu's words truly resonate with me!"
Magistrate Kong and Elder Lu sat at the same table, their plates piled high with all kinds of meat, with hardly a single vegetable in sight.
He was devouring his food, popping piece after piece of meat into his mouth, his foodie nature on full display. He nodded repeatedly with a satisfied expression, echoing Old Lu's words.
"Every dish here is delicious, and every bite leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. After tasting it, you'll crave it day and night, and you'll wish you could come back here every day!"
"Haha, it seems that Magistrate Kong and I are kindred spirits, both of us having a fondness for the deliciousness of meat."
Old Lu chuckled and joked, then picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, "I wonder what secret method was used to roast this meat, how come it smells so good?"
Look at these meat skewers, they're covered in brightly colored seasonings, just looking at them makes your mouth water.
"When I was young, I had an enormous appetite! I could easily eat a whole handful of these delicious meat skewers in one go!"
"This Miss Bai is truly exceptionally clever; she managed to come up with such a novel self-service food system."
Magistrate Kong swallowed the delicious food in his mouth and couldn't help but sigh, "In this way, everyone can choose what they like to eat according to their own wishes, and no longer have to force themselves to eat things they don't like just to accommodate other people's tastes."
In fact, Magistrate Kong was a picky eater, especially fond of meat, and had little interest in green vegetables.
Every time he attends a dinner party and sees a table full of vegetables, he feels troubled, but out of consideration for his reputation, he has no choice but to force himself to eat a few bites.
But today's self-service dining model is tailor-made for him, perfectly matching his preferences.
As he ate heartily, he secretly thought how wonderful it would be if this self-service dining model could be promoted and more people could enjoy the pleasure of freely choosing their meals!
Just then, Bai Mengran, having just finished picking up her food, walked over with Lu Yanran, who had just arrived, and found an empty seat to sit down.
She had waited for Lu Yanran for a while before coming straight to Old Master Lu's table after getting her food.
A folding table with six to eight chairs is just enough to seat several celebrities around.
As soon as she sat down, she heard everyone praising the food, so she took the opportunity to say:
"Elder Lu, Lord Kong, you may not know this, but starting tomorrow, our [Fairyland] will be opening a new large bathhouse, which will include a buffet restaurant. That will be a proper buffet, unlike the makeshift one we have today."
Upon hearing that a new store was opening, everyone present looked up at her in surprise.
Speaking of which, the speed at which [Fairyland] opens new stores is really fast. There are new products almost every day, and surprises every day. Who can resist the temptation?
If I don't come for a day, I miss it terribly.
Magistrate Kong had been looking forward to the buffet restaurant, and upon hearing Bai Mengran's words, he felt as if his dream had come true. He was so excited that he almost choked on the food in his mouth.
He quickly swallowed the crispy cumin beef cube, clapped his hands, and said excitedly, "Then I must congratulate you in advance on the opening of the new store! I'm really looking forward to the buffet restaurant that Miss Bai mentioned."
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Bai Mengran herself was also really looking forward to the opening of the two new stores tomorrow; she couldn't wait at all.
This simplified version of the buffet lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. Everyone was completely absorbed in this novel and interesting dining experience, as it was the first time for them to do so.
Even though my stomach is already full, I can still manage to eat a few more bites when faced with a dazzling array of delicious food.
While chatting with others, my appetite was unexpectedly stimulated again. Taking a few more bites at this time made it taste especially delicious and had a unique flavor.
As the meal drew to a close, Bai Mengran smiled and invited the other business leaders at the table to take a group photo.
She deftly pulled her personal phone out of her bag, quickly set up the tripod, turned on the camera, set the countdown, shouted "Cheese!", and pressed the shutter button rapidly.
The clicking sound continued, and one photo after another was taken...
The system can actually help take photos, but Bai Mengran still prefers to use her phone, feeling that it has a more ceremonial feel.
After taking group photos with the big shots, she pulled Lu Yanran to take a few selfies. The two of them were sometimes silly and sometimes smiling sweetly, creating a warm and interesting scene.
Finally, after the meal, Bai Mengran warmly invited all the attendees to take a group photo.
However, only the aloof and handsome man and his sidekick were not in the group photo.
In fact, Bai Mengran had already guessed the person's identity in her heart.
When I visited the Lu residence last time, Old Master Lu mentioned that Prince Wenxuan would be attending the banquet, but this prince was low-key and disliked making a fuss.
After a brief observation, Bai Mengran quickly locked onto her target—the handsome young man with an otherworldly air was undoubtedly the legendary King Wenxuan.
Given the prince's noble status, it was understandable that he was unwilling to participate in the group photo, and Bai Mengran completely understood and did not take it to heart.
As the warm afternoon sun gently shone down, she then prepared a simple yet elegant tea break at this venue, meticulously preparing a sumptuous array of tea, snacks, and refreshments.
This place has become a perfect spot for literary figures to build their teams, where they can sit together, chat about interesting things from ancient and modern times, and enjoy delicious food.
Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air as the literary figures thoroughly enjoyed this pleasant and leisurely time, which was what Miss Bai referred to as team building time...
