Fan Jianming smiled and said, "This is also one of the characteristics of Eastern food culture. Unlike in the West, whoever hosts a party, whose hostess is the only protagonist."

"In the East, as long as you are having a banquet, a seat leader will inevitably be selected at the banquet. This seat leader is best to be familiar with everyone present. At the same time, it must have at least three characteristics: one is that you have a lot of alcohol and the other is good at adjusting the atmosphere at the table. The third and most important point is that you have enough social experience and understand the worldly ways. Once a friend has any problems due to drinking, she can properly solve them."

The three of them nodded at the same time, and Audrey asked again: "Then she should have been particularly particular when she arranged the seats just now, right?"

"Not bad." Fan Jianming explained: "Our Dongfang is a country that focuses on loyalty, filial piety and etiquette. Especially at the banquet, it is particularly particular about who should sit wherever he or she should sit."

"If the arrangement is not good, it will cause extreme displeasure in the guests. It is obvious that a banquet for communicating and exchanging feelings between friends is likely to cause everyone to become enemies and even never interact with each other because of the wrong arrangement of the seat."

Audrey nodded constantly.

Wellington didn't remember anything else, but remembered what Fan Jianming said. Generally, he had a long mat and had a lot of alcohol. He immediately raised his glass and was about to toast Wu Wenli.

Fan Jianming reached out to pat him, and smiled and said, "If you were an oriental, you would be scolded to death."

"What?" Wellington asked in confusion: "Are you orientals all very conservative and aren't used to seeing a man toast a woman?"

Fan Jianming burst out laughing: "No, according to our rules, President Xi suggested that after everyone had a drink together, the host should toast the guest, and then the guest toast the host."

"So that's the case?"

"And whether it is the host toast or the guest toast back, it must be done in a certain order. Never [Dingdian Novel     www.booktxt.xyz] can be messed up."

"So that?"

Fan Jianming explained: "For example, if my wife and I will toast you later, we must start with Mrs. Audrey, then you, and finally Leah."

"If we both worship Leah directly from the beginning, wouldn't that embarrass you two?"

Wellington smiled awkwardly: "That's true. This kind of banquet is not like our party. We usually hold wine glasses. First of all, we clink glasses with friends closest to us, and no one cares."

"Now so many people are sitting on the same table, it can be said that they are watching everyone. It is a bit unreasonable to place more important people toast, but instead toast others first."

Fan Jianming said again: "Also, when you return to the toast later, you must respect it clockwise and never jump to the toast, otherwise, the person you skipped will think you have any objections to him."

"I understand, I understand."

Lea frowned: "It's so troublesome to eat, don't you feel tired?"

Fan Jianming smiled and said, "It will be natural if you get used to it. Just like you Westerners like to go to court to sue. In the eyes of us Easterners, it is unlucky to participate in litigation and litigation for others, so no one is willing to go to court to sue. If you have any questions, you would rather ask an elderly person or a respected person to reconcile."

Lea asked with wide eyes: "Then aren't all lawyers in your country going to lose their jobs?"

"It's true," said Fan Jianming: "Although I haven't counted it, I believe that due to the large population proportion, there are probably more practitioners in any industry in our country than you Westerners, and only in the lawyer industry. I feel that there are fewer practitioners than you Westerners."

Lea had long been drooling when facing a table of delicious food. When she saw Fan Jianming talking, everyone else looked at Fan Jianming with a pious look, and no one moved his chopsticks.

She immediately realized that this was probably the rule at the Oriental banquet. The host and the main guest did not eat, and the others might not be able to do it.

She just swallowed and asked Fan Jianming with a smile: "Do you have another rule here? As the master, if you don't eat it, will everyone not be able to eat it?"

Li Qianqian couldn't help laughing, and at the same time gave Wu Wenli a wink.

Just then a plate of crabs turned to Leah. Wu Wenli immediately picked up a crab with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, saying, "It's okay, you can eat it."

"Why?"

Li Qianqian smiled and said, "Oriental food culture also has a characteristic. All the rules are for adults and have nothing to do with children."

Lea had already held the knife and fork in her hand. When Li Qianqian said this, she frowned, pouted her mouth, and immediately put the knife and fork down. She glanced at Li Qianqian with a grievance, which made everyone present laugh.

"Come."

Fan Jianming signaled Li Qianqian to get up together. The two of them had just raised their glasses and stood up. Audrey, Wellington and Leah were afraid of losing their composure, so they quickly stood up with their glasses.

Fan Jianming smiled and said to Wellington and Leah, "You can wait a moment, this is the wine for me and my wife to Mrs. Audrey."

Wellington smiled and said, "There is no need to be so troublesome, Leah can't wait."

Fan Jianming explained: "This is not a question of whether it is troublesome or not. Our East emphasizes equal to toasts."

“Peer?”

"Yes, because we are husband and wife toast. If you are husband and wife and have another child, then we are polite to your family. Now you have no relationship with three of you. We are polite to you at the same time, but we don't respect you."

Li Qianqian said at this time: "Hey, Mr. Wellington can respect each other. Didn't you say that they..."

Wellington knew what Li Qianqian was going to say, so he quickly put down his glass and said to Li Qianqian: "Madam Fan, it's better to follow your Eastern rules. I'll wait for a while and it's okay!"

Fan Jianming and Audrey smiled knowingly, then had a glass of glass.

Audrey just took a small sip, but unexpectedly, Fan Jianming and Li Qianqian were all clean, and finally turned the wine glass over.

Audrey looked at them in shock.

Wu Wenli explained at this time: "Ms. Audrey, in your west, clinking glasses only means friendship. In our east, cheers are to drink the wine in the glass. The cleaner you drink, the more honest it is to show respect for the guests."

Audrey looked at Wu Wenli incredibly, then looked at Fan Jianming and asked, "The host can express respect, so what should the guest do?"

Wu Wenli said at this time: "If it is the younger generation toast the elders, the elders can ignore it, Mrs. Audrey..."

Before Wu Wenli could finish her speech, Audrey immediately dried the wine in the glass.

What is an elder?

Am I that old?

Especially when facing Fan Jianming, Audrey is absolutely unwilling to call herself an elder.

However, she still didn't understand that in the Eastern wine culture, urging alcohol was also one of the characteristics. The result was not only Audrey, but also Wellington and Leah were persuaded to be drunk.
