Volume IV, Chapter 11, Hotel Treats
After Chen Yongfu found the driver Xiao Liu, he saw a colleague standing beside him, and it was inconvenient to explain it to him. I wanted to invite him to dinner with me.
After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu didn't understand what he meant, so he continued to say to him: "Brother Chen, it's okay." If you have anything to say here. What is the relationship between the two of us? Do you still need to be so secretive and spitting? If there is anything to do, just talk about it here! Let's get rid of the matter of eating!" After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu still didn't understand what he meant, so he said to him again.
"No, no, no, it's fine. Let's go, Xiao Liu. Brother specially invited you to eat mutton steamed buns today. When I get there, my brother has something to discuss with you. After listening to the driver Xiao Liu's words, Chen Yongfu took his hand and said.
"Okay then! Brother Chen. Wait until I put the things away first, and then let's talk about it!" the driver Xiao Liu finished speaking. He put what he had in hand on his bed.
"Let's go, Xiao Liu. The two of us went to Lao Ma's house, soaked in mutton steamed buns, and ate mutton steamed buns. "After seeing the driver Xiao Liu put things away. Chen Yongfu took the hand of the driver Xiao Liu and said.
"That's okay, Brother Liu. That brother is not welcome today. I don't know if the place is far away? The two of us, do you need to drive a car?" After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu hurriedly asked again.
"No, no. Xiao Liu. It's just around the street garden. It didn't take more than half an hour to walk. Let's wait until we get there, and then we'll discuss things. After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu took his hand and said.
"That's good! Brother Chen. That brother is not welcome today. You wait a minute, let my brother pack up his things a little, and then the two of us will go again!" After listening to Chen Yongfu's repeated invitations to dinner. The driver, Xiao Liu, finally understood that Chen Yongfu sincerely invited himself to dinner. So, after saying hello to Chen Yongfu, he began to pack up his things.
After about ten minutes, the driver Xiao Liu finally packed up his things, and then walked with Chen Yongfu to a mutton steamed bun restaurant called Ma Huizhai near the street garden.
In this way, Chen Yongfu and the driver Xiao Liu, after some discussion, left their units together and walked towards a mutton steamed bun restaurant called Ma Huizhai near the street garden.
Chen Yongfu and the driver Xiao Liu were gossiping while walking towards the mutton steamed bun restaurant. After Chen Yongfu and the car driver Xiao Liu left the unit, after walking for more than half an hour, they came to a mutton steamed bun called Ma Huizhai near the street garden.
"Do the two gentlemen eat boiled buns, or do you eat soaked buns?" after seeing two guests in the restaurant. A very handsome waiter in the hotel hurriedly greeted Chen Yongfu and the driver Xiao Liu very politely.
"Miss, is it more money to cook a bowl of steamed buns?" After listening to the waiter's words, Chen Yongfu asked with a smile.
"Ten dollars a bowl. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the waiter said with a smile.
"Is that a bowl of steamed buns more money?" After listening to the waiter's words, Chen Yongfu continued to ask.
"One price, master. May I ask if the two of you eat steamed buns or boiled buns?" After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the waitress asked again.
"Xiao Liu, do you eat bubble buns or boiled buns?" after listening to the waitress's words. Chen Yongfu asked the driver Xiao Liu.
"Brother Chen, I'll eat steamed buns! It's not tasty. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu said with a smile.
"All right, Miss Waitress. Bring me a bowl of boiled buns, a bowl of steamed buns for my friends! After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu smiled and instructed the waiter.
"Okay, two masters. Please be patient for a while, do the two masters need some other side dishes?" After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the waitress asked him with a smile.
"Then a plate of fried peanuts, another plate of roasted tofu, another plate of fried pork with cabbage, and two bottles of beer......" After listening to the waitress's words, Chen Yongfu kept instructing the waitress.
"Okay, okay. Please wait a moment, master. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the waitress smiled and said.
"That's pretty much it! Brother Liu. Every time it breaks the bank. The brothers are a little embarrassed. I don't know what you have to do, just say it!" After seeing Chen Yongfu so expensive, the driver Xiao Liu felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled at him politely and said.
"Xiao Liu, brother has something I want to ask you for help, I don't know if it's okay?" After listening to the driver Xiao Liu's words, Chen Yongfu felt that there was no need to hide the inside story from him. So, he said to him politely.
"Brother Liu, who is the relationship between the two of us! Why are you still so polite to me? As long as it's something that a brother can do. I will definitely do my best. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, Chen Yongfu said with a smile.
"Xiao Liu, brother wants to ask you: If you go on a business trip with your brother the day after tomorrow, can you still take a little person with you in your car?" After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu finally made his purpose clear to him. Brother Liu, it is said that the personnel are already full. You can't arrange people anymore. I don't know what Brother Liu wants to bring?: "After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu didn't understand what he meant. So, he continued to ask.
"Xiao Liu, it's like this: your sister-in-law heard that I was going on a business trip, and she had to go on a business trip with me. My brother didn't want to take her on a business trip, but she kept shouting that she had to go with me. Brother has no choice, so I have to discuss with you: Take a look at the car you are going to, can you take her with you?" After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu finally explained his purpose to him.
"Brother Liu, I'll just say that you are mysterious along the way, there must be something. It turned out that I was asked to take my new sister-in-law with me along the way! How could you have thought of taking my new sister-in-law on a business trip along the way! No, brother, I don't want to help you, but this matter is really very difficult to do! Our unit has a strict system, which is explicitly forbidden, and the bus is used for private purposes. Families are not allowed on business trips. If this matter is investigated and dealt with by the unit, not only you will be punished, but even I will have to be punished. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu showed embarrassment.
"Xiao Liu, you're right. Brother also has this consideration. I don't want to violate the rules of the unit. But your sister-in-law, she won't agree. You have to follow me on a trip. You know that, too. Brother is indeed a little ashamed of your sister-in-law this time, and the wedding is really shabby. Therefore, my brother agreed to her request this time. I want to take her with me: one is for business, and the second is for tourism. Balance public and private, kill two birds with one stone. If it's really inconvenient for you, brother, forget it. Brother and your sister-in-law will take the train tomorrow and leave early!" After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu said to him.
"Brother Liu, don't be busy yet, let your brother think about it again! Brother is mainly thinking about your situation. If sister-in-law she really wants to go. No matter how embarrassed the brother is, he has to bring his sister-in-law with him. However, in recent times, the traffic police have been stricter in checking overcrowding. There are places to dodge, and you have to dodge. In addition, on the side of the unit, you also have to pay attention to it, so as not to affect your errands. After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu kept telling him.
"Well, Xiao Liu, brother knows. Brother has already discussed it with your sister-in-law. The two of us, using our free time, went out for a trip. It doesn't affect my work in any way. If you find it convenient, bring your sister-in-law with you! Brother take your sister-in-law, let's set off tomorrow!" Chen Yongfu said again.
"Don't, don't, Brother Liu! Since you have spoken, no matter how difficult my brother is, he will agree to your request. Otherwise, how can you get this meal right! Sister-in-law, she knows that she won't scold me to death in the future!" After listening to Chen Yongfu's words, the driver Xiao Liu joked with him again.
"Go, go, Xiao Liu. What are you talking nonsense? Who do you think of your brother? Can't you afford to have a meal? If you can't take your sister-in-law with you on a business trip? When my brother should have invited you to dinner, he would have invited you to dinner. After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu still smiled and said to him.
"Sir, the wine and food you two want are here, please eat!" Just as Chen Yongfu and the driver Xiao Chen were talking, they saw the waiter bring a few plates of food, and brought a bottle of Taibai Liquor, and came to the two of them.
"Come on, come on, brother. Drink!" I saw the waitress and brought the wine and rice. Chen Yongfu picked up the wine bottle from the table, and after uncovering the cap, he poured a full teacup of wine for the driver Xiao Liu, and persuaded him to drink.
"Alright, alright. Brother Liu: I don't dare to pour so much wine at once. Last time at the Yiyuan Spring Hotel, several of us were drunk. Or the hotel called our unit. It was only after a few workers were sent from the unit that the three of us were taken back to the dormitory. The next day, I slept for most of the day, and I woke up drunk. For this matter, I was scolded by my second father (referring to Liu Jianguo, the manager of the unit) for several days. This time, let's stop getting drunk. After seeing Chen Yongfu pour himself a full cup of wine, the driver Xiao Liu said with a smile.
After listening to the words of the driver Xiao Liu, Chen Yongfu couldn't help but think of the last time he was drunk. In my heart, I regretted the last time I was drunk.
