119, inquire
At half past twelve, Zhang Jing's birthday banquet opened, and there were three tables in total, one table for men, one table for women, and one table for dolls.
As the object of the focus of Zhang Jifa's two sons this time, at the beginning, Zhang Jifa and Li Guilan invited Wang Bo to be the main table where the men sit. But Wang Bo has no common language with his own old man, or Zhang Jing's old man, and Zhang Xiaojun, Zhang Laoer, and others who are his peers - there is a common language, such as women, telling a few meat jokes, but with his age and the role he currently plays, it is definitely inappropriate. So, in order not to make the meal too stuffy and too restrained at noon, he refused the kindness of the two of them and took the initiative to relegate to sit with Zhang Jing and a few other children.
Wang Bo wanted to sit next to each other the most, but it was actually Zhang Xiaojun's wife Jiang Mei. He originally planned to sit next to a few mothers-in-law and aunts (generally referring to women), but before he could speak, Zhang Jing came over to pull him and asked him to share a table with her.
But it's okay, although Zhang Jing can't compare with Jiang Mei, the young Shao woman that all men in Lanhui Town want to engage in, but she is younger and more lively, and the kind of youthful atmosphere that overflows her body is incomparable to Jiang Mei, a married Shu girl. As a man with a biological age of 17 years old and a psychological age of 33 years old, unlike an old guy like Li Ao who is older, the better his young teeth, Wang Bo's level of appreciation is not as harsh as Li Ao in terms of age group, from fifteen or sixteen-year-old young teeth to thirty-five six, thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old Shu women, all within the scope of his "appreciation". Girls or women of this age, Wang Bo can find beautiful things to appreciate from them, and they are all his dishes.
At present, the premise is that the other party is a beauty, and it is a beauty within his standards, for example, slender fingers, a mouthful of white and neat teeth, and so on.
After taking his seat, Wang Bo began to observe the noon meal. The cold dishes include white chopped chicken, cold red oil pork ears, and a fried peanut rice; hot dishes include boiled fish, green bean Mer braised duck, braised fat sausage, tamale, and kelp stewed pork knuckles; two braised vegetables, namely goose and roasted duck in oil; and finally a few stir-fried vegetables, back to the pot meat, mapo tofu, and fried shredded pork with pea tips. It's basically all meat dishes, nothing vegetarian!
I like it!
Wang Bo glanced at it roughly, and felt that the meal at noon was really good, worthy of the box of peaches he bought.
In the more formal dinner in the four directions, even the poorest families usually make a large table to eat. Wang Bo doesn't know when this slightly extravagant and wasteful atmosphere began, anyway, until he can remember, whether it is to go to relatives (relatives) or to entertain guests, the food is always very rich. He thinks that this may have something to do with the fact that the Shu people are delicious and can eat it. Moreover, whether it is the Guanghan who stayed before his mother remarried or the Quartet where he is staying now, according to his son Wang Jichang, they are the "upper five counties" of Shu Province, and the overall economic conditions are among the top counties and cities in Shu. The so-called one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, living in a delicious place since childhood, Wang Bo thought that it was difficult to eat well.
Wang Bo's table, the biggest is him, followed by Zhang Jing, then Zhang Jing's two cousins and a cousin, and the younger Zhang Xiaojun's baby Zhang Ke, Zhang Lao's second doll Zhang Qiang. Wang Bo and Zhang Jing don't have a lot of common language, frankly, not to mention the five or six years younger than Zhang Jing, and the eleven or twelve-year-old kids. Therefore, during the meal, in addition to chatting with Zhang Jingdong one sentence and one sentence in the west, most of his attention was focused on the two tables of adults next to him.
At the main table where several men were, in addition to Li Guilan's brothers and brothers-in-law, the rest of Zhang Jifa, Zhang Xiaojun, and Zhang Laoer, that is, Zhang Yu, are all businessmen, of course, now we need to add the "big businessman" Wang Jichang. In the past, people looked down on him and didn't take him to play, but now, Wang Jichang was put in the top position by Zhang Jifa as a guest (sitting in the position facing north and facing south), and he was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after a few cups of horse urine, he was at ease when he came.
Soon after the banquet began, Zhang Xiaojun stood up, first filled the cup in front of Wang Jichang's eyes, and then poured his own cup.
"Come, Uncle Wang, I will toast you. You feel free, I'll do it. After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaojun drank it all.
Wang Jichang has never been afraid of challenges from the wine table, let alone the challenges of a junior. Zhang Xiaojun drank it all, and he naturally dried it up.
Zhang Xiaojun took the lead, and Zhang Lao Er was not willing to be reluctant, so he also toasted Wang Jichang in the same way, and Wang Jichang did not refuse to come, so he did the same.
After a few rounds, after another toast, Zhang Xiaojun asked Wang Jichang tentatively: "Uncle Wang, I see that you have taken down the original 'Honghong Chinese Restaurant', and now it is being renovated." Good guy, I've never seen your decoration, it's rare in all directions! It looks too domineering, too classy. Uncle Wang, you must have spent a lot of money doing this, wow?"
"Who's to say no! I thought it would be open like that, but my doll, I thought about it all day and said I was going to decorate it. Decoration is decoration, simple decoration is enough, but his ghost doll said that he wants to learn what KFC is, if he doesn't do it, he won't do it, if he wants to do it, he will have to do a big deal! Look, I can't do business now, and I have a lot of debts!" Wang Jichang shook his head and said.
Zhang Xiaojun said that he didn't understand "KFC" and "KFC", and he didn't care about that.
"Oh, it turned out that Bo'er came up with it, no wonder I didn't talk about it! Uncle Wang, if I opened a rice noodle shop and had a business as good as yours, like you, I definitely wouldn't want to do any decoration, how good it would be to open and sell it directly! Young people, it's just different, they are cultured, and they dare to think and fight. Unlike us, people are old and don't have much momentum. Zhang Xiaojun said.
"Junwa, my old guy didn't call old, what are you old?! The old nest stone (stone) is almost the same!" Zhang Xiaojun shouted in front of him, Wang Jichang felt a little funny.
"Uncle Wang, of course I'm not older than you, but in front of Bo'er, we are old, and Zhang Ke is about to go to kindergarten in two years. Zhang Xiaojun defended, "By the way, Uncle Wang, your 'great-sister-in-law rice noodles', I don't think there is a day that you don't support the hall." Business is so good, I'm afraid you have to make hundreds of yuan a day now?" asked Zhang Xiaojun.
When Zhang Xiaojun asked, several men at the same table couldn't help but prick up their ears. Everyone is extremely curious about how much money Wang Jichang's rice noodle shop can make a day. Some said one hundred, some said two hundred, and said three hundred and five hundred, but everyone was speculating, and no one had heard Wang Jichang's family reveal it in person.
Wang Jichang has rehearsed this question countless times, he took a sip of wine unhurriedly, took a bite of the thigh meat of the goose drizzled with oil, mixed it and swallowed it, and rubbed the oil on his mouth with his backhand, and then said slowly: "Hundred hundred sub-yuan? Where are there so many! If there are so many, I will wake up laughing when I sleep!"
"Don't you get 100 hundred yuan? It's impossible, Uncle Wang? Even if you sell 400 bowls a day, and you make eight dimes a bowl, 4832, that's 320 yuan, that's not 100 yuan?" Zhang Xiaojun didn't believe it, and neither did the others.
"Where can you sell 400 bowls! And where can you earn eight dimes in a bowl! The profit of snacks can be halved, but it is other rice noodles that sell rice noodles, not our 'Zeng's sister-in-law rice noodles'! Our 'Zeng's sister-in-law rice noodles', from all kinds of main ingredients to auxiliary materials, are all the best! For example, Sichuan pepper, we only use Maowen peppercorns produced in Maowen! Peppers only use Chaotian peppers from Guizhou, all of which are of special grade! The price is much higher than that of others! If others can pull in half, we can have three or four percent of the profits, which is good. And that's not even counting labor, utilities and rent. Once these things are removed, where will there be any money left!" Wang Jichang began to complain in front of several people, calling him poor and playing Tai Chi.
But a few people at the table still didn't believe it. The reason is very simple: If Wang Jichang and his family didn't make any money, they would have expanded their scale? Not only did they expand their scale, but they also engaged in high-grade decoration? Now the two of them rarely even live in a house in the countryside, and they have moved to the city and become city people! They also say that they have not made any money?
Heckling ghosts!
Zhang Xiaojun, who didn't take out Wang Jichang's truth, was very unwilling, turned his head to look, and saw that his wife was drinking a drink with a drink cup, so he waved his hand and shouted loudly:
"Jiang Mei, why are you doing it? Come and toast Uncle Wang! Patronize your own food, you don't even know how to toast?"
