Chapter 416: Chapter 362: The Dam Banquet in Front of the Shop (Part 2)

Mu Qingye said, "Xiao Yue, Xiaoru, this should count as an outdoor banquet, right?"

Xia Xiaoyue nodded. "It definitely does. Actually, an outdoor banquet has a much better atmosphere than eating in a hotel. The dishes might not look as exquisite or high-end as a hotel’s, but the taste is just as good, maybe even better. More importantly, the atmosphere is better and livelier. Of course, when I talk about the food, I’m referring to outdoor banquets elsewhere, not here. The Boss’s outdoor banquet here, no matter how you look at it, far surpasses any hotel."

Mu Qingye and the others all nodded. "That’s for sure."

Then, Mu Qingye added, "The atmosphere of an outdoor banquet really is fantastic. It feels so much livelier than being in a hotel."

The other girls in the group strongly agreed.

Xia Xiaoru nodded. "It really is."

...

More and more guests arrived.

Chu Yiwei arrived.

Lin Xin, Zhang Qinghe, Cai Peng, Lai Xu, and other teachers from the school also came.

Deng Luping, Xie Hai, Zhao Yu, Wang Dongliang, Liu Yiquan, Yang Zheng, and the other business owners from the town market all came as well.

Wang Ge Fei, Lu Xiangyun, and others arrived too.

The scene was already bustling with activity.

And everyone preferred to sit outside the shop rather than inside.

Seeing this, Li You had Da Bai and Xiaohai continue adding tables in the open space.

’Since everyone prefers sitting outside, we might as well have everyone sit outside. I have plenty of tables and chairs anyway. I can accommodate however many people show up.’

The area was spacious enough. Dozens, even a hundred tables could be set up with ease.

Besides, the weather today was cool and there was no sun, making it perfect for sitting outside.

After Da Bai and Xiaohai set out another thirty tables, the whole scene looked even more spectacular.

At 11:00 AM, Guyi and Liu Bai began ushering everyone to their seats.

Fifty tables filled up quickly, but many people were still left without a seat.

More tables were needed.

After another twenty tables were added, there were finally enough seats for almost everyone.

By 11:30 AM, it seemed unlikely that anyone else would be arriving.

It was time to start serving the food and drinks.

Guyi and Liu Bai had also taken their seats.

They had chosen a table at random.

This was mainly because everyone hoped to sit at the same table as them, and they didn’t want to have to choose, so they simply picked a table at random.

The few people at their table were incredibly excited and thrilled.

Their luck today was amazing!

The food service began.

A dozen or so people were helping serve the dishes.

Although Da Bai and Xiaohai were both incredibly fast, serving dozens of tables at once was still too much for them to handle.

So, many people volunteered to help serve.

Li You randomly selected a dozen or so people to help.

Besides the food, there was of course alcohol. The drinks were flowing freely this afternoon. As long as no one got drunk, they could drink as much as they wanted.

Eating, drinking—the atmosphere of the entire event was at a high point right from the start.

Or rather, it had reached a peak even before things officially kicked off.

Everyone took turns getting up to toast Guyi and Liu Bai. Those who didn’t drink used plain water instead of alcohol.

Even if they weren’t drinking alcohol, they certainly had to offer a toast to Guyi and Liu Bai.

Of course, they weren’t toasting individually.

If they did, no matter how high Guyi and Liu Bai’s alcohol tolerance was, they definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.

They toasted as a table, with everyone at the same table toasting together.

Guyi and Liu Bai were delighted, and the rest of the guests remained thrilled and excited throughout.

This was a meal they would be bragging about for the rest of their lives.

And this event would undoubtedly spread across the internet, making countless people envious of them.

’The two masters, Guyi and Liu Bai, throwing an outdoor banquet to treat them to a meal—could people on the internet even imagine such a thing?’

’They’d never be able to imagine it, nor would they dare to believe it, but it was the absolute truth.’

’How shocked and envious would those people be? Just thinking about it was enough to make one uncontrollably excited.’

The eating, drinking, and toasting continued, and the entire scene remained incredibly lively.

Li You also started to eat.

He too toasted Guyi and Liu Bai.

...

Time slowly passed. By 2:00 PM, the banquet was drawing to a close.

Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Li You had portioned the food perfectly. Everyone was full and satisfied, and nothing had gone to waste.

Everyone once again expressed their gratitude to Guyi and Liu Bai, all saying they would never forget this meal.

Guyi and Liu Bai were also very happy, saying that all that mattered was that everyone had a good time.

Everyone continued to chat for a while longer before the banquet officially concluded.

The banquet was only for lunch, not for dinner.

Da Bai and Xiaohai began clearing the tables.

Guests who had things to do in the afternoon said their goodbyes and left one after another. Those with free time made plans for various recreational activities.

Playing video games, playing cards, playing chess, or taking a stroll through the canyon, and so on.

Guyi and Liu Bai were playing chess, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

The teachers from the school, including Chu Yiwei, Lin Xin, and Zhang Qinghe, had already taken their leave earlier at 1:00 PM.

They had classes to teach in the afternoon.

Ling Xiaoru, Xia Xiaoyue, Mu Qingye, Yu Wei, and the other girls decided to take a walk up the mountain.

After spending so much time at school, they were eager to get closer to nature.

They had hoped Li You could go with them, but he was clearly too busy to get away, so they had to drop the idea.

After the girls left, Li You leaned back in his rocking chair to rest for a moment.

A fly landed on a nearby table, "rubbing its hands" as if no one was watching.
