Tian Qingyuan is a colleague of Yi Rongrong and Chu Xiaorui, and he is still Yi Rongrong's quasi-boyfriend, Cao Xin is not good at refuting his face.

Cao Xin and Yi Rongrong are classmates in junior high and high school, and they have a very good relationship, and the two of them almost talk about everything, she knows that her best friend likes Tian Qingyuan very much, but because she is more introverted, she is embarrassed to show it.

If it weren't for Jiang Liao's chicken thief, he actually asked Tian Qingyuan to appear together, Cao Xin would not have brought him over.

And she can't blame Tian Qingyuan for being troubled because of this, because Tian Qingyuan's relationship with Jiang Liao is similar to the relationship between her and Yi Rongrong, and the two of them are also childhood friends.

Tian Qingyuan had already quietly explained to Yi Rongrong that Jiang Liao had to come along, and he had no choice.

Now that Tian Qingyuan opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, Cao Xin could only respond: "Let's not say a word, today is my birthday, everyone came to cheer me on, you must not be allowed to break the bank, no one should fight with me for this meal today, it must be my invitation." ”

Cao Xin had no choice but to do this, worried that the direction would misunderstand her mind, and after saying this, she came to the direction with a smile and asked, "Direction, this friend of yours, I don't seem to have seen it before, don't you introduce it to me?"

"This is my little Xiao Yao, the best friend in my hometown, he came to Siping to do some errands, and happened to meet him at the door of the hotel. The direction hurriedly introduced.

Xiao Yao's first impression of this Cao reporter is very good, if he can really have such a girlfriend, it will really be shit luck.

He took the initiative to speak: "Hello Reporter Cao, I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, and it is my honor to be able to participate in your birthday banquet." ”

"You're so polite, it should be my honor to have so many friends come to cheer me on. Cao Xin said generously.

Remember the URL

The controversy was put aside for the time being, and everyone walked into the hotel with Cao Xin in their arms.

The direction has asked Cao Xin in advance how many friends to come over, according to the original plan, a total of 9 people will be present today, and the 10-seat box he set is very spacious. Now that there are four more people, the box is a bit crowded.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Liao smiled on his face and suggested: "The box I booked is more than here, and it is more than enough for us to sit down, or let's change it." ”

Without waiting for the direction to speak, the thick-eyed comrade-in-arms said: "There's no need, let's reopen a bigger box, I'll ask the waiter now." ”

"The location of the Linhai Pavilion has to be booked two days in advance at the latest, and it will definitely be too late for you to change the box now. Jiang Liao said firmly.

The direction was a little annoyed, he really didn't expect Jiang Liao to insert a lever into it, so that such an embarrassing scene would occur. He would rather crowd everyone a little than switch to the box set by Jiang Liao, this is a matter of principle.

Xiao Yao naturally didn't let his hair be embarrassed, and said: "There are a few more uninvited guests today, the location here is indeed a bit crowded, I have already set the Imperial Hall, let's go to the Imperial Hall and sit down, anyway, the money has already been paid, and I can't return if I want to." ”

"I also wanted to book the Imperial Hall, but unfortunately I was booked in advance, but I didn't expect that the person who booked in advance turned out to be you, since you booked, then there is nothing to hesitate, let's go over together." "The direction will not be polite to Xiao Yao.

Jiang Liao didn't expect his plan to fall through like this, and the culprit was Xiao Yao, who suddenly appeared. He looked at Xiao Yao carefully, although he had a smile on his face, his gaze at Xiao Yao was a little sharp, obviously what he was thinking in his heart was not consistent with the expression on his face.

Under the leadership of the waiter, everyone walked into the Imperial Hall, and the luxurious decoration in the Imperial Hall made everyone secretly stunned.

Most of these comrades-in-arms in the direction are from ordinary families, and it is basically the first time to dine in such a luxurious restaurant, and everything in the restaurant makes them curious.

Everyone didn't give in much, and after they sat down, Xiao Yao just asked Cao Xin's suggestion and started ordering directly.

This restaurant specializes in Shandong cuisine, which combines the essence of Jinan, Jiaodong and Confucian cuisine, and its dishes are highly regarded in the local area.

Xiao Yao has a deep study of Lu cuisine and is looking forward to the dishes of this restaurant.

The three major cuisines of Shandong cuisine subdivision have their own advantages, Jinan cuisine is especially heavy soup, the use and boiling of clear soup and milk soup are strictly regulated, and the dishes are known for being fresh, crisp and tender.

Jiaodong cuisine originated from Fushan, moss, and Qingdao, and is good at cooking seafood, and the taste is mainly fresh and tender, with a focus on lightness, and pays attention to color.

Confucian cuisine is the concrete embodiment of "never getting tired of eating, never getting tired of fine", and its wide range of materials and sumptuous feasts can be compared with the imperial palace in the past.

Lu cuisine is characterized by extremely heavy seasoning, pure and mellow, less complex synthetic taste, one dish and one taste, try to reflect the original taste of raw materials, and the selection of raw materials is extremely exquisite.

Another characteristic is that there are many kinds of pasta, sweet potato, soybean, sorghum, wheat, corn, and millet can be made into pasta with different flavors, which has become a famous spot for feasts.

Since this restaurant specializes in Lu cuisine, several famous dishes in Lu cuisine are indispensable.

Xiao Yao first ordered nine turns of large intestine, sweet and sour carp, fried mountain scorpion, boneless grilled chicken, original shell grilled abalone, and then ordered steamed flower grouper with flowers and peppers, cheese baked Boston lobster, steamed eggplant salted mackerel, braised deer tendon, Yipin swallow vegetables, hydrangea dried scallops, Ruyi ten thousand seed fish, peony whip flower swallow vegetables, Yubi ginseng wings, Jade Emperor abalone fin soup, Caiyun fish maw, red grilled fish lips, grilled abalone asparagus, grilled original shell abalone, soup hibiscus hash toad oil, fried red scale fish, clear soup butterfly bamboo sun, fried oyster yellow, chicken sauce scallops and other more than 20 dishes.

Seeing that Xiao Yao ordered so many dishes and ordered them again, Cao Xin hurriedly stopped: "Is there too much to order? Although there are many of us, it is better not to waste it." ”

Although Cao Xin is the first time to eat at this restaurant, and she hasn't had time to see the menu, she can judge from the decoration of this restaurant that the dishes here are definitely not cheap. Although she said that she would be invited today, she estimated that she might end up paying the bill very little, and the direction and others should not give her this opportunity.

If she settles the bill by herself, with her family conditions, even if the price is more expensive, Cao Xin will definitely be able to afford it, but if it is the direction and others to settle the bill, the burden will be a bit heavy.

"It won't be wasted, these dishes are definitely not enough to eat, don't look at the number we ordered, but the amount of dishes is too small. They usually train too hard, it is difficult to come out to relax, and they must eat and drink enough. ”

Xiao Yao didn't follow Cao Xin's suggestion, and continued to order seven or eight dishes. He thought it should be about the same, so he stopped.

Zheng Bin was a little reluctant and said: "Good guy, you ordered so many dishes in one go, just by listening to the name of the dish, you know that it must not be cheap, it seems that we have a good fortune today, but I'm afraid we will break the bank." ”

Although the direction and Xiao Yao have not seen each other for more than two years, he can occasionally learn some news about him through various channels, he does not know Xiao Yao's recent situation very clearly, only knows that Xiao Yao is now a big boss, presumably he will not be short of money, and he should not be poor for this meal today.

It didn't take Xiao Yao to explain anything, and the direction didn't matter: "Xiao Yao is now a rich man, we should not be poor for him for this meal, and when the wine and food come up, you can just let go of your belly and eat and drink to your heart's content." ”

Xiao Yao also said: "You don't know me, but you should always know the direction, you see that he is eager to slaughter me, you know that I am not short of money." Wait a while, if the dishes are not enough, let's order again, I can still afford a meal. ”

Cao Xin is today's birthday star, these comrades-in-arms in the direction are willing to come to cheer, she is already very happy, and she doesn't want others to break the bank, she hurriedly said: "Didn't you say it all? Today is my birthday, this meal must be treated by me, none of you should fight with me, otherwise I won't dare to invite you on your birthday next time." ”

Jiang Liao also took the opportunity to say: "Reporter Cao is today's birthday star, and we people are here to celebrate your birthday, how can we let you have a treat? Although I am a little persistent, I am not lacking in self-knowledge, I am an uninvited guest today, and I have swept everyone's interest, so it is better to let me invite you for this meal, and it can be regarded as making amends for everyone." ”

"It's good if you have this self-knowledge, you don't have to treat yourself, this box is set by me, and I must settle the bill, a little thing, let's not fight." Facing Jiang Liao, Xiao Yao spoke very politely.

Jiang Liao didn't seem to mind what Xiao Yao said at all, "That's so embarrassing, it seems that I'm a person who came here specifically to eat and drink, so I can't worry about it." ”

"It doesn't matter who checks out, it's important that everyone is happy. Since you insist on checking out, it's going to cost you money today. Xiao Yao's reversal came unexpectedly.

Today's meal is not cheap, not counting the drinks, just ordering this table of dishes costs more than 20,000. Since he can't get rid of this Jiang Liao, let him break the bank, which can be regarded as a small breath for the direction.

Jiang Liao originally wanted to be polite, he didn't think that Xiao Yao would agree, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to agree, this change was completely unexpected by him.

Although his family conditions are good, and his family is quite powerful, he is really not very wealthy financially. Especially his personal economic conditions, it can only be said that they are not bad, which can make him not worry about eating and drinking, but there is still a bit of a gap if he wants high consumption.

If it weren't for the financial constraints, then he wouldn't have ordered a big bag, and his first choice would definitely be to book the Imperial Room.

He had already consulted, the minimum consumption of the Imperial Hall was 20,000 yuan, and he couldn't bring his own alcohol, he really couldn't afford such a high consumption.

He has already said a lot of things, and now he definitely can't regret it, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

After Xiao Yao said this, he waited for Jiang Liao's reply, Jiang Liao didn't wait for someone to answer, so he had to say: "Today is Reporter Cao's birthday, as long as Reporter Cao is happy and everyone here is happy, I will settle the bill in the end, that is my honor." ”

"The two of us and Jiang Yingchang are uninvited guests, which has affected everyone's interest, since it is Jiang Yingchang who is having a treat today, then I will treat you another day. Xiao Yao once again deliberately pointed out the identity of Jiang Liao's uninvited guest.

Now it has suddenly become Jiang Liao's treat, and the mood of the direction is better.

If it was at the beginning, he would definitely not agree to let Jiang Liao come to entertain him, but now the nature of Jiang Liao's treat, the nature of my treat from the beginning is completely different.

Although Jiang Liao concealed it in a timely manner, the subtle changes in his expression could not hide the eyes of the direction and others at all. Judging from the change in his subtle expression, Jiang Liao was absolutely reluctant to settle the bill at the end, but now that Xiao Yao was forced here, even if he didn't agree, he had to agree, which made the direction feel very relieved.

He has always wanted to teach Jiang Liao a hard lesson, this wish seems to be unrealizable, but if he can make a little money, it can be regarded as recovering a little interest.

Cao Xin had the same idea as the direction, and at first she didn't think about letting Jiang Liao settle the bill, but now she also changed her mind, as if she hadn't heard it, and never said anything about her birthday star coming to treat her.

After ordering, there must be some wine, Xiao Yao was not polite at all, and took the initiative to say: "What kind of wine do you all drink? I usually drink Moutai vintage wine, if I have a treat today, I will definitely invite everyone to drink Moutai for 50 years." But now it's Jiang Yingchang's treat, if it's still like this, it's a bit difficult for a strong man. I suggest that we drink ordinary Moutai, do you have any opinions?"

"Drinking such a good wine, where do we dare to have an opinion, but today is Jiang Yingchang's treat, let's just let the guest be as easy as the host, don't let Jiang Yingchang be embarrassed." At this moment, the direction became reasonable, and Jiang Liao was thinking about it everywhere.

Xiao Yao and the direction said this, what else could Jiang Liao say, he could only pinch his nose and agree, "It turns out that Mr. Xiao's taste is so high, and he usually drinks Moutai for 50 years, which I really can't compare, our salary as a soldier is limited, and we can't afford to drink such good wine." However, I can still afford ordinary Moutai, so let's drink this today. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Cao Xin, "What are reporter Cao and the two big doctors going to drink? Do you drink Moutai like us, or do you change to red wine?"

"The three of us don't drink much, and we really can't drink liquor, so you can just order us a bottle of red wine." Cao Xin will definitely not embarrass herself.

Jiang Liao carefully looked at the wine list, and after asking Cao Xin's opinion, he quickly ordered two bottles of red wine worth more than 2,000 yuan.

Tian Qingyuan had a very clear understanding of Jiang Liao's economic situation, and knew that he was a little difficult to bear all of today's consumption, so he could only try his best to reduce the burden on him, and suggested: "The price of drinks in the hotel is too high, I remember that there are two cigarette hotels next to this hotel, why don't I go out and move two boxes of Moutai wine now, and everyone wait for me for a while, how about it?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Dr. Tian, this imperial hall is not allowed to bring your own alcohol. Xiao Yao answered.
