Chapter 184: Year-end dinner

"I have a scientific research support system ( to find the latest chapter!
"Xu Qiu, have you talked about your girlfriend?" Teacher Wei said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "No."
"Yeah." Teacher Wei replied, and then said nothing.
Xu Qiu was thinking about it. Why did Teacher Wei suddenly become gossip? Is it to introduce one to me?
Probably not, his son and daughter are under ten years old...
Or is it afraid of falling in love, dragging down the progress of scientific research?
Or maybe he just came up on a whim and mentioned it casually.
If he didn't understand it, Xu Qiu put the question behind him.
Most people in the research group are currently single, except for Duan Yun who has a girlfriend from another place.
Tian Qing seems to have a boyfriend before. Xu Qiu saw him once when he was taking a graduation photo of undergraduate.
But she seemed to break up after graduation, at least that person never appeared again.
...
As the speed of the car slowed down, Xu Qiu looked out the window, and the car came to a parking lot. The cafeteria was not far away.
After the car stopped steadily, the three of them got out of the car, walked a few steps, entered the restaurant of the headquarters, and took the elevator to the third floor.
When you get out of the elevator, it is the faculty restaurant. It is opened in the lobby on the third floor of the Pondok Restaurant. In principle, it only supplies faculty and staff. You must use the campus card with the status of faculty to consume.
Teacher Wei brought students from Xu Qiuhe's group to eat here several times.
After the actual experience, Xu Qiu felt that the taste here is almost the same as the first and second floors of the main restaurant. The price is slightly more expensive. The only advantage is that there are fewer people and almost no queues.
In addition to the staff dining room, there are also a number of private rooms on the third floor, which can be used by school teachers to entertain guests, organize group dinners, or for some school or department activities.
The three of them walked through the hall and came to the bar. Wei Xingsi greeted the restaurant manager.
Then, under the leadership of the restaurant manager, they walked into the "Qingshanju" private room.
The area of ​​the private room is very large. As soon as you enter the door, there is a large round table. It seems that there is no problem with accommodating fifteen people. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window behind the round table. The view from there is excellent, and you can see the East Annex of the Twin Towers next to it, and A large lawn next to the East Annex Building.
Next to the big round table is a small square table, some sofas, and a small compartment.
Teacher Wei and the manager here seem to be familiar with each other. After placing Maotai on the round table, he left with the manager and started talking not far from the private room.
Xu Qiu and Duan Yun also put the wine in their hands on the small square table, and then sat on the sofa next to them.
The dinner started at six o'clock, and it was less than five thirty now, and they had nothing to do when they came early.
The sofa was not far away from the door. Xu Qiu could hear the voices of Teacher Wei and the manager. There were some magic words in it, which he could understand.
"Today's garnish according to the standard of 2000 yuan."
"Do you still need drinks?"
"We brought our own drinks, and I let people bring some glasses, as well as a corkscrew and a wine dispenser."
"How many people are there in total?"
"There are seven people in our group. I have hired six as a teacher. There are three who can come, and one is uncertain. Let's count as eleven."
"Okay, when will it be served?"
"The food will start around six o'clock. You can serve some cold dishes in advance."
Wei Xingsi returned to the private room, nodded towards Xu Qiu and Duan Yun, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his mobile phone and started calling the teachers one by one.
Xu Qiu and Duan Yun were still on the sofa, staring wide-eyed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Feifei Wu arrived with others.
Teacher Wei turned his head, pointed to the tables on the round table, and motioned to Feifei Wu to arrange for everyone to sit down.
By convention, the position facing the door of the room is the main seat, which must be left to the teachers, so the six of them sat down in turn with their backs to the door.
Xu Qiu was assigned to the middle position, with Chen Wanqing on the left, Han Jiaying on the right, and Teacher Wei facing him.
Teacher Wei finished the phone call, returned to his seat, and said: "Waiting for a few teachers in the department, Zhou Mathematics, deputy dean of the Department of Materials, and director of the Department of Materials and Chemistry, Fang Guangwu, deputy dean of the Department of Materials. In charge of admissions and student work."
After a pause, he added: "There is also Sun Zheng, from the Department of Chemistry, Xu Qiu, you met during the final defense of the last project, Zhou Dagang, from Tongji University, mainly in the field of thermoelectricity, Duan Yun, you are sure I'm very familiar. Originally, I invited the Wanyousheng teacher from the department and Qiu Zhiquan from the Modu Jiaotong University, but the two of them are having problems today and can't make it through, so let's do it."
Everyone knows that China is a society of human relations. Today, Mr. Wei invited these teachers over, because they might be able to deal with them in the future. The two deputy deans in the department will not talk about it. The other two may always respond to graduation in the future. One of the review teachers of, there is no harm in being familiar with it in advance.
After a while, two waiters came in with corkscrews, wine dispensers, and wine glasses and goblet.
One of them is responsible for distributing cups and tablecloths, and the other asks: "Will the wine open now?"
"Open two bottles first." Teacher Wei said, "You students, drink wine, Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying can do it."
"I can drink a little." Xu Qiu said. He originally thought he would be able to drink Moutai today, but after thinking about it, there is only one bottle of Moutai, and the five teachers each have one drink, and it is finished.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't drink it. He doesn't have a good sip. If he can, he prefers to change the wine to happy water, no matter how coconut juice is.
Han Jiaying seemed to hesitate, but in the end she nodded gently without raising any objections.
Xu Qiu noticed the strangeness of the school girl, and said in a low voice: "When you want to toast, if you feel you can't drink it, don't force it, just take a sip."
"Hmm." Han Jiaying also responded in a low voice.
The waiter opened the two bottles of wine and poured them into the two wine dispensers, then placed the wine dispenser on the turntable in the center of the round table and asked: "Should we serve cold dishes first?"
Wei Xingsi checked the time of the phone, it was five to fifty, and said: "Let's serve cold dishes first, and let you know when you get hot dishes."
As soon as his words fell, a fat middle-aged man appeared at the door, waved to Teacher Wei, and greeted him.
Xu Qiu turned his head curiously, but found that he didn't know the person who came. It could only be Zhou Dagang from Tongji University. I didn't expect the first one to come, instead of one of the three teachers from the school.
However, the Sifang Road campus of Tongji University is not far from the Modu Comprehensive University, only a few streets away.
Teacher Wei and Duan Yun got up to greet them. The three shook hands and said a few polite words. Zhou Dagang was seated on the left hand side of Teacher Wei.
Soon after, Sun Zheng, Fang Guangwu, and Zhou Mathematics arrived one after another, but no one was late, they were all on time, and these were greeted by Teacher Wei alone.
Although Xu Qiu is familiar with the two materials department teachers, they don't have many personal relationships. Unlike Duan Yun, he has an article on Zhou Dagang's side, even though he is only a second author.
Everyone was there. After the teachers were seated, Teacher Wei waved to the waiter who was standing by the door and said, "Let's serve hot dishes."
"Pour the bar by yourself with a wine dispenser." Teacher Wei instructed the students, and he opened Moutai by himself and poured it on him and several teachers separately.
Xu Qiu chose white wine and poured himself about half a glass. He took a sip. The taste was relatively light and slightly sour.
While everyone was pouring the wine, the waiter began to serve dishes one by one. Most of the dishes in Magic City were similar to those in Xiaobeiguo where Han Jiaying went to last time.
Teacher Wei raised his glass first and started:
"The overall performance of everyone is very good this year. Good progress has been made in the four fields of organic, perovskite, thermoelectric, and mechanism research. I hope that the new year will be brilliant! Cheers!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses, Duan Yun also agreed: "Cheers!"
Xu Qiu observed for a while, except that he and Duan Yun had a big sip, everyone else was relatively conservative.
"Let's eat." Teacher Wei put down the wine glass, waved his hand, and moved his chopsticks first.
The dishes are served here very fast, within fifteen minutes, they are all ready, and the last dish is the fish head soup that Duan Yun and the others praised.
I saw the waiter holding an oversized bowl with both hands, the diameter of which was close to 60 cm~ EbookFREE.me~ There was an oversized fish head in the center, milky white soup, very rich, with some green leafy vegetables on it as decoration, except Fish heads, trotters are faintly visible in the soup.
It looks really impressive, but I don't know how it tastes. This is Xu Qiu's inner evaluation.
Xu Qiu's position happened to be at the mouth of the food, so he used the turntable to transfer the fish head soup to Teacher Wei.
For the big dishes served today, he gave priority to the teachers, and other people also cooperated with him tacitly and did not grab the dishes.
If it is the usual Teacher Wei treats, Xu Qiu and his students are usually not so polite, and they are rushing to eat, but now there are other teachers, they still have to be "sensible".
Teacher Wei helped the other four teachers to each serve a bowl of fish head soup, and kept saying "Fish head soup is a special feature here and it is very delicious."
The atmosphere on the dining table was mobilized by Teacher Wei. Several teachers were talking and laughing, discussing various gossips in the scientific research circle recently.
Xu Qiu was also secretly surprised by the side, but she didn't expect Teacher Wei to have such a sleek and exquisite side.
They usually ate with Teacher Wei, and they always ate and chatted about topics such as "research progress", "handling reimbursement", and "how is the article written".
Soon, the fish head soup turned back. Han Jiaying weighed herself a bowl of fish head soup, then turned around and asked, "Brother, do you want it?"
"Yes." Xu Qiu came back to his senses and added: "Thank you, school girl."
"You're welcome~" Han Jiaying picked up his bowl, filled a bowl of soup, and added a pig's feet in it.
Xu Qiu took the soup from the school girl, scooped up a spoon with a spoon, and tasted it.
Well, the taste is really good, and the sense of deliciousness is difficult to express in words.
One word, praise.
