Chapter 159: The Banquet Begins

Later, Chen Fang drove Karen Hesse on a sidecar motorcycle to the manor where the Dawes family held a banquet.

Because there are many people coming and going at the front door, Karen Heise and Chen Fang entered through the back door. Karen Heise led Chen Fang to watch the patrolling guards as nothing, walking on the road to the banquet hall, unobstructed and familiar with the door Familiar with the way, the respectful attitude of the servants he met on the road towards Karen Hesser, no matter how stupid Chen Fang was, he could understand that the old Lailai who walked in front had a close relationship with the Dawes family.

When they came to the lobby where the banquet was held, Karen Hesse sat down in a remote corner, and Chen Fang also sat down.

"While there are not many people, go get something to fill your stomach." Karen Hesse said to Chen Fang.

The banquet hadn't started yet, most of the guests gathered on the lawn outside to chat, and there were almost no guests in the lobby except for some servants.

"What do you always eat? I'll get it for you."

Chen Fang had long been salivating over the food on the table, and since Karen Hesser let him go, he would definitely not be shy.

"Help me get some light and easy-to-digest food, not too much." Karen Hesser said, people have poor digestion when they are old, so they can only eat some light food.

Chen Fang listened and nodded, got up and walked towards the place where the plates were placed. After taking two plates, he began to take his favorite food.

"Is there rice porridge at the banquet? I just got some for old Lailai. This vegetable looks good. Let's have some..."

Food for a table, Chen Fang selected several easy-to-digest dishes for Karen Hesse, most of which were vegetables.

After finishing Karen Hesser's food, Chen Fang began to choose what he wanted to eat.

"This suckling pig is not bad, this prawn is not bad, this chicken is fat enough..."

Chen Fang does not dislike meat and vegetables, but the size of the dinner plate is limited, so he had to reluctantly give up all the vegetarian dishes, including suckling pig, prawns and other vegetables, which were all scratched off by him, and then stacked on the dinner plate according to size.

What Chen Fang did was stunned by the servants who had been waiting in front of the food table, waiting for the banquet to start. They looked at Chen Fang with their mouths open, and left with two plates of food with huge differences in height. Couldn't react.

After returning to Karen Hesser, Chen Fang arranged the two servings of food, the small one for the dumbfounded Karen Hesser, and the big one for himself.

"Son, have you finished eating so much?"

Karen Hesse looked at the plate of food in front of Chen Fang dumbfounded.

"You can always rest assured, who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work, I don't waste food, I understand the principle of taking as much as you can eat." Chen Fang said seriously.

Karen Hesse would believe that the food in front of me would weigh as much as an adult, whose stomach could hold it.

Believe it or not, Chen Fang is very hungry now, so eat first as a respect.

Chen Fang doesn't have the ability of the other protagonists to disappear before the food is delivered to his mouth, so he can't maintain his demeanor and elegance when eating. Now he is like a pig, chewing so much that his mouth is full of oil.

"Slow down."

Karen Hesser took out a handkerchief and wiped off the grease from the corners of Chen Fang's mouth. At the same time, watching Chen Fang gobbled it up, she wanted to laugh but felt that she was losing the demeanor of her elders.

"You still eat when you are old." Chen Fang said to Karen Hesse with puffed cheeks.

"Yeah." Karen Hesse looked at Chen Fang like a hamster hiding food, nodded and smiled, and started to eat, but she was thinking that she would prepare more food every day in the future.

Chen Fang took the food and ate it in the corner, but the servants who were guarding the food table were scolded bloody by the old housekeeper of the Dawes family.

"Where's the food? What about the food on this table? Why are there only some vegetables left? Where's the suckling pig? Where's the fire turkey? Where's the frozen prawns?"

Seeing that the table was originally filled with all kinds of food, but now there are vegetarian and non-meat tables, the old housekeeper burst into anger.

"Mr. Edward, all the things have been taken away by a guest, we can't stop it." The servant said aggrievedly.

"Guest? Which guest will eat so much?"

The banquet of the family is not a place to eat and drink, it is mainly an excuse for communication, the food is placed just for the sake of looking good, or as an excuse to meet each other, so the portion is really not much. Appetite, whoever prepares this table of food is unlucky.

"It's over there."

The servant didn't dare to use his fingers, so he tapped the corner where Chen Fang was with his chin.

Edward looked in the direction indicated by the servant, and he saw a pile of food towers that were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The unlucky kid who came out of which family, isn't it making trouble, you have to wait until the banquet starts to eat, you swept up the food before other guests came in, and people will think that our family is stingy and unprepared later.

Edward was speechless, but he didn't have time to see who did it right now. The most important thing now was to replenish the food before the guests came in.

"Hurry up and ask the kitchen to replenish, don't wait for the banquet to start and the table is still empty, which makes people laugh."

"Let's go." One of the servants ran out immediately.

Karen Hesse has a small appetite, so Chen Fang only tasted one-third of the food and stopped eating it.

"Isn't it to your liking? I'll go find some more for you." Chen Fangzheng was sweating profusely after eating, and said after noticing Karen Hesse's situation.

"I'm full, don't need to go get it." Karen Hesse shook her head.

"Oh." After hearing this, Chen Fang continued to eat hard.

When Chen Fang ate only the suckling pig's head that was specially left behind, a bell rang, and then the guests on the lawn outside came in one after another. After a while, the originally deserted lobby became lively .

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming here to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the Dawes family." A handsome old man with white beard and hair stood on the podium prepared in advance in the lobby with a microphone.

"This coming-of-age ceremony is the same as usual. There will be a competition among the recipients, and at the same time, the ten best people will be selected to be rewarded."

"In addition, according to the usual practice, these ten people will accept the challenge from everyone here tonight, and if the challenge is successful, the reward will belong to the challenger."

The words of the old man aroused cheers from the younger generation of the guests.

"Be quiet first, I haven't said to challenge the rules yet."

"One, the strength of the challenged and the challenger must be at the same level and no more than two levels; two, the strength of the challenged must not be casually injured."

"Okay, now I announce the start of the banquet." After speaking, the old man handed the microphone to the old butler Edward and left.

"Guests, please wait a moment, we will project the scene of the coming-of-age ceremony competition in the lobby later."

The old butler also left after speaking.

"Is there no ceremony for this coming-of-age ceremony? Could fighting be considered a coming-of-age ceremony?"

Chen Fang gnawed on the pig's head while holding the pig's head, and asked Karen Hesse beside him.

"Well, the ceremony of the descendant lineage is a competition, of course it is only for the awakened members of the family." Karen Hesse nodded.

Anyone who belongs to the family can participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the family, even the children of servants.

"Subsequent surname? What do you mean?" Chen Fang was puzzled.

"The one with the surname at the end and the first name is the descendant family, such as me."

"On the contrary, it's the same line with the previous surname, such as you."

"The federal race is made up of people from these two lines." Karen Hesse explained.

"Will the coming-of-age ceremony of the former surname be different?"

"There is an additional ceremony of giving gifts from the elders. Men give gold rings, women silver bracelets, and everything else is the same."

"oh."

At some point in the banquet hall, a huge screen appeared, and a battle was being played on it.

The strength of both sides in the battle is at the middle level, and the weapons they hold are all guns.

One is holding two guns, armed with a white trench coat, with a braid behind his head, a bit like the Holy Gun Ranger in a certain game; the other is holding a rifle, armed with a piece of armor inlaid In black clothes, with a pair of sunglasses on his face; the two of you come and go and shoot at each other while moving to the ground.

Chen Fang watched with relish while gnawing on the pig's head.

"Wearing sunglasses at night, can you see?" Chen Fang said while chewing.

"Ordinary sunglasses are of course invisible. They are thermal imaging glasses, which can project thermal imaging on the eyes in a dark environment." Karen Hesser said.

A single pair of sunglasses, without the help of other equipment, can directly form thermal imaging. Well, the technology in this world is sometimes ridiculously low, and sometimes it is terrifyingly high-end.

After the battle lasted for a while, it ended with the Paladin being knocked out by the rifle butt of the man in sunglasses.

In the next few games, the fighting time was not long, and they all ended in pure hand-to-hand combat without ammunition, which was not interesting to watch.

It's so boring, it's not exciting at all, it's just that shooting and hiding is not interesting at all, Chen Fang feels very boring.

After watching several battles, Chen Fang gnawed off the pig's head, and fell into extreme boredom for a while.

Do you want to get a pig's head to chew on to relieve boredom? Chen Fang felt that the taste of the pig's head just now was particularly good, which made him feel like he couldn't stop it.

Chen Fang specifically asked for Karen Hesser's opinion.

"Eat what you want, but are you sure you can still eat it?" Karen Hesse looked helpless.

The food that Chen Fang ate just now is enough for her to last for a month. If this is an ordinary person, he would have been sent to the hospital, but he still wants to eat it. This appetite is terrible.

"for sure."

After Chen Fang finished speaking, he rushed to the dining table, cut off the whole pig's head with the meat cleaver placed on it, put it on a plate, and then took it away with the dumbfounded expression of the servant in front of the dining table.

Chen Fang held the pig's head and carefully avoided the people on the road. When he was about to return to the corner, he suddenly almost collided with a hurrying person.

"I don't have long eyes." The man cursed.

"I'm sorry." Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, Chen Fang still politely apologized first.

"It's you." The man suddenly screamed after seeing Chen Fang clearly.

Chen Fang also took a look at the other party. The person he knew was Jess.

"Why are you here, you country bumpkin?"

Chen Fang ignored him, but looked around, as if looking for something.

"What are you looking for? I'm talking to you."

"Shovel, I think you might make trouble when I meet you, so it's better to strike first." Chen Fang said expressionlessly.

"Crazy, you wait for me."

Jess remembered the experience of being almost buried by Chen Fang before, and ran away after cursing. He really did what Chen Fang said, looking for someone to cause trouble for Chen Fang.

"Hey, I'm afraid of you." Chen Fang looked disdainful.

Back at the original place, Chen Fang picked up the pig's head and watched the battle on the screen while gnawing on it.

"Boss, it's him."

Not long after, Jess led a group of people over, and the leader was a big man with big arms and round waist, full of momentum.

Chen Fang didn't take it seriously, and continued to watch the game on the field.

"You bumpkin, this is my boss, Wen Renxiong, a strong man of the third level of the middle class. If you don't want to be beaten, you'd better kneel down and beg me for mercy." Jess relied on someone to support him, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant.

After hearing this, Chen Fang silently gnawed at the pig's head in his hand, and ignored Jess in a daze, the scene fell into an embarrassing situation for a moment.

Jess' face was ugly, but he didn't dare to beat Chen Fang, so he could only turn to his boss, Wen Renxiong, for help.
