Chapter 202: The Night
The Three Gorges land spans Chongqing and Hubei provinces and cities, the mountains on both sides of the river, the cliffs, the scenery is wonderful, the steep and continuous peaks on both sides of the river, since the Three Gorges Dam was newly built, it has also become the largest hydroelectric power station in China, after the Yangtze River water source is intercepted, many landscapes and landforms are buried in the river water forever.
The White Emperor City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Fengjie County, Chongqing, the purpose of everyone's trip is mainly to explore the gossip stone henge laid by Kong Ming, now the stone henge has long been submerged in the river, because it is also necessary to prepare some diving equipment, so everyone plans to stay in Chongqing City for one night, and then go to the White Emperor City after all the preparations are ready.
I drove all the way from Zhuge Temple, and it was already evening when I arrived in Chongqing.
Xuanwu had already booked a five-star hotel, so the car drove directly here. A group of five people went back to the hotel to wash up before going to eat together.
At this juncture, Qin Jue didn't have any appetite, but Gao Yue pulled him, and after a while of persuasion, he nodded and agreed, Chongqing people are famous for their love of spicy food, and the White Emperor City is of course no exception, in this ancient town, you can see hot pot and Chongqing restaurants everywhere, Qin Jue is not good at eating and spicy, but he doesn't have much opinion when he follows the customs.
At Gao Yue's request, everyone walked into a hot pot city, and the five of them chose a king-size private room, and as soon as they entered, Gao Yue began to order with the menu. Considering Qin Jue's taste, Gao Yue's dishes were all too spicy.
Soon a waiter came forward to greet everyone and began to arrange tea for them, the waiter was a young man in his early twenties, his face was quite immature, and he looked quite bookish, but he was very cheerful, smiling at everyone from time to time, and his attitude was very respectful.
Gao Yue was curious, and after a while, she learned that his name was Li Feng, he was still a college student, and he was only working part-time here, and there were two other people in their dormitory who were also here. Now that they are in their senior year, they are about to graduate in a blink of an eye, and they are about to enter the society, so they should come out in advance to adapt.
There is plenty of time in college, especially in the senior year, so they come here every night to work part-time to earn some living expenses.
Maybe there were too many guests in the restaurant, and the speed of serving food was really slow, Qin Jue was bored, took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it, only to see the young man step forward and persuade him.
"I'm sorry, big brother, we can't smoke here, now quit smoking nationwide, smoking is strictly prohibited in public places such as hotel squares, if you are reported, you will be fined, big brother, you see ......"
"Then I'll go out and smoke!" Smiling slightly, Qin Jue stood up and walked out.
At this time, Xuanwu also followed, and the two squatted in the corner by the door and began to swallow clouds and spit. Qin Jue's face was a little heavy, although he didn't say it, Xuanwu understood that he was worried about a few sisters-in-law.
"Boss, don't worry, Dogwood and they don't seem to have any malice, I'm sure a few sisters-in-law will come back safely!"
Smiling slightly, Qin Jue glanced at Xuanwu,
"I'm fine, I'm just a little irritable, I hate people threatening me the most, although I know their purpose, but I don't want to fall into this situation in the slightest, those things have been going on for so long, I don't want to know at all, even if it is related to me. ”
With a soft sigh, he spat out another smoke ring.
"Alas...... , Boss, I understand your thoughts, just like me, I have been an orphan since I was a child, when I was a child, how I wished I could be like other children, with parents to love and take care of, but it's a pity that I am just a person, until I enter the Dragon Hall, I also have a sense of home. Some things can't be avoided after all, although I don't have the luxury of knowing my background, but I still hope to meet them one day, not for anything else, just to give myself an explanation. Xuanwu said solemnly, and his face was a little melancholy.
"yes...... , I have to give myself an explanation after all!" Smiling slightly, Qin Jue patted Xuanwu's shoulder, and his face regained his calm.
After smoking a cigarette, the two chatted outside the door again, and then turned around and walked towards the private room.
At this moment, the guests at the table in front of them suddenly quarreled loudly, and at this time, Qin Jue and the others had just passed through the hall and looked at them curiously.
Sitting there was a pair of men and women, to be precise, it should be a middle-aged man and a girl in her early twenties, at this moment a waiter was standing there stupidly, looking at the girl with a desperate face, gritting his teeth and asking, "Xiaoqing, aren't you on a business trip?"
The girl's expression seemed to be dodging, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
At this time, the middle-aged man on the other side was indignant, pointed at the waiter and shouted: "What's the matter with you? Lao Tzu told you to hurry up and serve the food, and you kid stared at my girlfriend for a long time, what kind of restaurant are you? Lao Tzu is a customer, and the customer is God, don't you know? Get out of here, don't fucking affect Lao Tzu's appetite." ”
The young man ignored him, still looked at the girl, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoqing, is it true, is he really your boyfriend? What about me? What am I?"
The girl still didn't say a word, and now she frowned, and glanced at the young man, with a clear look of disgust in her expression.
"I said you're not finished, aren't you worth a beating!" the middle-aged man got a little angry, stood up suddenly, and grabbed the waiter's shirt.
"You kid is Zhou Cong, Lao Tzu has heard of you, but Xiaoqing is now my girlfriend, if you know each other, get away from Lao Tzu, you are just a waiter, a poor ghost, you are also worthy of Xiaoqing, why don't you pee and take care of yourself." ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was angry, the girl sitting there also stood up, pointed at the waiter and scolded: "I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I didn't expect to meet it here, but it's just right, Zhou Cong, listen well, we're finished, I already have a new boyfriend now, we won't have any relationship in the future, please don't bother me in the future." OK?”
As she spoke, the girl stepped forward and took the middle-aged man's arm and said softly.
"My dear, let's change to a restaurant, the grade of this hotel is too low, I get angry when I see such a turtle, where is the appetite?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said coldly: "No, I'm still here today, and I'm going to let him serve me food!"
As he spoke, he kissed the girl on the forehead again, looked at Zhou Cong with a smug face, and chuckled: "I might as well tell you, we were together two months ago, and now Xiaoqing has also turned positive, and will be promoted to my secretary next, you are not all the way at all, you kid is still dead." ”
Zhou Cong sneered, and tears couldn't help but slide down his cheeks.
"The day before yesterday was your birthday, I used a month's salary to buy you a necklace, at that time I was still thinking that when I graduated, I would find a formal job, work hard to make money, and when I had savings, we would get married. You say, "You're willing to wait for me." I didn't expect it to be like this?"
With a wry smile, Zhou Cong wiped his tears, glanced at the girl again, and sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I'm so stupid! just because we've never seen it......" After saying that, he ran to the back kitchen.
Looking at the boy's back, Xiaoqing's face was slightly dark, her throat trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Qin Jue frowned, didn't speak, turned around and left.
Xuanwu glanced at the two of them and spat at the foam, his expression full of disgust.
"Bah, grandma's, what's wrong with the turtle?
Everything came and went quickly, as if it had never happened, and soon Qin Jue's private room began to play, there were a lot of Gao Yue, and five or six waiters served the food together, one of which was that Zhou Cong.
At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul, his face was full of woodenness, his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had just cried. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Li Feng took the dish from him and put it on the table.
Xuanwu shook his head and sighed slightly.
"That Li Feng, do you have a waiter in your store to accompany the wine business, Lao Tzu ordered one!"
"That? really not, why don't I ask the boss?" Li Feng said in a low voice, his face a little unclear.
"Find your boss, Lao Tzu will tell him himself!" Xuanwu glanced at him and urged.
Where did Li Feng dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran out.
After a while, a fat man walked in, and I saw him wearing big pants, a vest, and a big shiny back combed, and hurriedly walked over.
"If you have any requirements, just tell me, I will definitely do it if I can satisfy you. ”
The fat man stepped forward and grinned, leaking two large gold teeth.
"From now on, Lao Tzu will charter the venue, forget the guests who have come in now, and you won't receive the guests who come again, and call these part-time little guys to drink with Lao Tzu, by the way, the best wine!"
Xuanwu said casually, looking wealthy.
"Master, do you want to charter a venue?" said the fat boss in a low voice.
"Lao Tzu will give you 100,000 yuan for chartering, plus drinks and food, how about it?"
"Okay, sir, you are open, just do what you say. The fat man laughed and turned around to greet Li Feng and Zhou Cong.
"Li Feng, you go and call Zhang Xing too, the task of the three of you today is to accompany a few masters, don't worry about other things, and tomorrow I will give you three a big red envelope. ”
The fat boss was very on the road, said hello, and went to move the wine in person.
Gao Yue didn't know what to expect, and glared at Xuanwu fiercely.
"Dead fatty, what are you crazy about, do you have money to burn? If you really can't spend it all, I will suffer a little loss, and I will help you share some of it." ”
The corners of Xuanwu's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly begged: "Don't, auntie, I'm only thirty-two this year, and the days to come are still long." For this arduous task, Lao Tzu should come by himself, so I won't trouble you. ”
"How do you know you're still long? If you do this, you might burp tomorrow!"
"This old Taoist priest told me my fortune and said that I could live to ninety-nine, isn't it? Master!" said this, Xuanwu did not forget to glare at Che Fox.
The master understood and stroked his goatee. chuckled: "You are full of wealth, natural longevity, I pinch my fingers, you dead fat man can live at least one hundred and eight years old, but it's a pity that you have become a human body, otherwise it is estimated that you will live for at least a thousand years!"
"Look at it!" Xuanwu's face was full of smugness, but he quickly reacted.
"Grandma, you're scolding me, a thousand-year-old ghost of 80,000 years, you are an old immortal, it seems that Lao Tzu will never spare you tonight, drink you old bastard!"
