At that time, the western restaurants in Shanghai were not flooded all over the streets, there were only a few places to eat Western food, and they couldn't afford to consume, and the money for a meal was often more than a month's salary for ordinary people.

Therefore, the basic people who come to eat are not gentlemen in suits in the public's impression, but more self-employed or rich people. Therefore, the atmosphere of the western restaurant is also different from that of foreign countries, not to sit down and chat quietly, and eat slowly and chew slowly. Instead, there were people on stage singing folk songs, and some people in the audience even opened beer and clinked glasses to drink.

Of course, one thing is the same, and that is that chopsticks are not used here, but knives and forks.

Shen Mengtian didn't know what to think, so he actually asked us to eat in such an upscale place. The name of the restaurant is Southern California Sunshine Restaurant, and I don't even fucking know where Southern California is. also asked the fat man stupidly, and was laughed at by the fat man for a long time.

The waiters standing at the door were all dressed better than me and Luo Qiong, with a red vest and trousers and shirts. After glancing at the two of us, he seemed to look down on us and said, "You want to eat noodles across the road." ”

It's not the first time for the fat man to come to a Western restaurant, when he was a child, the best Western restaurant in Shanghai at that time, the Red House, was also old, and when he heard this, his face sank suddenly, and he shouted: "What do you mean? Lao Tzu has money, so he can't come to eat a bowl of noodles?"

"Sorry, we don't sell noodles in our restaurant. ”

The waiter also went sideways.

"Pasta! Borscht, no!"

The fat man took a step forward and shouted. At this moment, the waiter was stunned, his face was a little ugly, and he stepped aside and opened the door. The fat man snorted and led us inside. The dining table is covered with a special two-color checkered pattern tablecloth, and the table is not large, and it is not a large round table in China. There's a white vase in the middle, and the guy who eats is very simple, just a fucking disc and a pair of knives and forks.

Shen Mengtian arrived first, and she looked very good, with a long white skirt, which seemed to be wearing light makeup, which added a bit of beauty. Sitting quietly at the table next to him, he was completely different from the old people who were drinking and drinking all around.

"Fatty, there. ”

I pointed and walked over.

After seeing us, Shen Mengtian immediately smiled, and after sitting down, the menu brought up by the waiter was all foreign codes, my English was really not good, and at most I could say a few common words. Holding the menu was a little embarrassed, Luo Qiong asked directly: "Brother Shan, what are the ghosts on it?"

I couldn't answer, but the fat man said on the ground: "You don't have to look at it, I'll order it for you, I can memorize this kind of menu." Waiter, let's have a bottle of red wine first, not particularly good, and not heavy. Let's get another filet mignon for each of the three men, it's medium-rare, and it can be fried a little. For the side dishes, I want tomatoes, onions, corn, and some macaroni. Did you write it down?"

The fat man is a person who has been to a high-end place, and Luo Qiong and I have never even heard of it.

"And what does this young lady want?"

"I want a fish steak, a casual side dish, and a creamy snail soup. ”

What surprised me was that Shen Mengtian looked like a fat man and often came, in my opinion, how did she come to such a place as a little teacher, it was very strange.

"Huizhi is doing his homework at home, and he doesn't eat meat, so he can only nibble on bread when he comes to this kind of place. By the way, Shanzi, you don't need money for bread here, but you can't pack it. Luo Qiong took out all the bread you hid and looked at your little bit of interest. ”

When the fat man came to this kind of place, he immediately felt like a fish in water, and he felt that the whole person was refreshed.

"Teacher Shen, why did you think of inviting us to dinner?"

I asked curiously.

"This ...... Because you saved me before, I haven't thanked you properly. So I've been looking for an opportunity to invite you to dinner as a thank you, but I'm not familiar with the restaurants in Shanghai, and I usually come to this restaurant, so I'm going to invite you to eat here. ”

I was stunned, usually come? Her consumption level is really not low, but after thinking about it, the man who drove her before seems to be worth a lot of money, isn't it normal to bring her to this kind of place?

I glanced at the steak when it came up, and there was blood on it, which I still know, and I don't eat a lot of steaks that are fully cooked, because then the meat will get old. However, Luo Qiong on the other side shouted: "Why did you bring it up before it was cooked?"

"Don't be ashamed of you, kid! Steak is half raw, you taste it first." ”

The fat man kicked him, and Luo Qiong smiled awkwardly. Shen Mengtian also covered his mouth for a while.

Then came the boring chit-chat, and I buried my head in eating, and it was really hard to use the knife and fork.

"By the way, you...... How are you doing?

Shen Mengtian suddenly asked me.

I was slightly stunned in my heart, I raised my head and saw the bright eyes flickering in the twilight light, and the slightly drunk face after drinking red wine.

He shook his head and said, "Busy with some small business." By the way, how did you come to eat in this kind of place? It's expensive. ”

Shen Mengtian hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when suddenly applause rang out all around, I turned around, but saw that the lights around me dimmed, and a chasing light fell on the stage, under the dazzling beam, a beautiful woman in a long black dress slowly walked out, wearing a European-style flower hat, and a black light veil fell down, covering her face, but she could still see the beautiful and suffocating face.

In front of the microphone, she opened her mouth and sang softly, singing Teresa Teng's "Airport", with gentle dance steps, gently swaying on the stage. Like a butterfly flapping its wings in the wind and rain.

The entire restaurant fell silent, and almost everyone's eyes fell on her. Every lyric is full of emotion, there are no dazzling lights, but it is just a simple spotlight.

Under the heavy rain, the black butterfly flew alone.

Under the light, the long black dress sang alone.

Actually, I haven't seen her many times, but I always have the illusion that every time I see her, it's different.

Sometimes lively, sometimes cold, sometimes close like the sister next door, sometimes unreachable like the stars in the sky.

Either way, however, she made my heart flutter......

"Rain Butterfly ......"

I whispered, and unconsciously took a few steps forward, but was dragged by the fat man.

Only then did I wake up, and when the song ended, the audience applauded, and countless people poured onto the stage with flowers. Yudie bowed slightly, but did not take any bouquets, turned around and walked towards the stage.

But at this moment, someone in the audience jumped on the stage and shouted: "Hey, don't just leave, sing another song!"

"I'm sorry guest, Miss Yudie sings a song every day, if you like it, come back tomorrow. ”

The waiter next to him hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, but was pushed away by this person, walked forward quickly, grabbed Yudie's arm, and shouted: "Don't go, Lao Tzu has money, 100 yuan to buy you a song, 1,000 yuan to buy you a night, 10,000 yuan Lao Tzu to cover you for a week, willing or not, haha!"

"This guest, please don't do this, it will make it difficult for us. ”

The waiter tried his best to persuade but was pulled away by a few of his subordinates brought by this person, Yudie turned her head and showed an uncomfortable expression, wanting to push away the drunk man, but where would the woman's strength be greater than that of the man.

"Haha, don't pretend, don't you just want money to sing here? Lao Tzu gives you money, you sleep with Lao Tzu, how fair it is!"

The man shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yudie's chin, at this moment, the inexplicable fire in my heart suddenly "rubbed" and burned, rushed to the stage, grabbed the man's collar, and then kicked him hard at the waist, the man screamed in pain, but I dragged him to the ground.

"Fuck you, who!"

The man shouted. Several of my subordinates surrounded me, I raised my head, with a cold look in my eyes, and suddenly pulled out the Tushan knife and slashed it, the tip of the knife was nailed next to the side of the man's face, and the frightened person screamed.

The fat man and Luo Qiong ran up from behind, the smile on the fat man's face disappeared, and he took out his shotgun and shouted: "Who the fuck dares to move, try it!"

When everyone at the scene saw the fat man pulling out a gun, their faces changed in fright. “
