When Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong came out of the police station, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Tang Luoyong, who was 1.82 meters tall, patted his chest and said: "Little brother, thanks to you for today's incident, I invite you to drink." ”

Zheng Xudong saw that there was nothing to do at night anyway, so he said: "Okay, it's hot at night, drink some cold beer to relieve the heat." ”

After speaking, the two of them sat down on the barbecue of a small stall nearby, and now that the light rain had stopped, Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong found a small table and sat on a plastic stool, at this time a young man came to the table of the two of them, first wiped the table with a rag, handed Zheng Xudong a menu, and then asked: "You two, what do you want to eat?" Our lamb kidneys today are relatively fresh, and there is also a new Qingdao draft beer. ”

"Give us ten roast lamb loins, fifty lamb skewers, fifty beef skewers, twenty tendons, twenty chests, two roasted fish, two skewers of sharp peppers, ten skewers of roast chicken wings, and chicken wings to brush with sauce. Another barrel of draught beer. Brother Tang, look at what else you order?" Zheng Xudong handed the menu to Tang Luoyong after ordering.

At this time, Tang Luoyong and the young man next to him were dumbfounded, and the young man said: "Dude, are you sure you two can eat these? And the draft beer barrel we have here is the kind of stainless steel, twenty liters." Why don't I give you a tie and a tie?"

Tang Luoyong covered his face with the menu, leaned forward, and whispered to Zheng Xudong across the table: "Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that the money in my pocket is not enough for you to order these!"

Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "Brother Tang, we met today because of fate. I'll ask you, don't worry. ”

Tang Luoyong thought about it, just now this young man paid 5,000 yuan for the lawyer's fees alone, if he asked him, he wouldn't want to pursue it anymore, it seems that it is really not bad for this money, he is also a cheerful person, and said: "Okay, brother, when I make money in the future, I will invite you again." Then he took the menu and ordered tinfoil and gold needle grinding and thirty strings of crescent bones, then handed the menu back to the young man, and said, "That's all for now, hurry up." ”

The owner of the small stall was very good at getting things done, first served them a plate of cucumbers mixed with fried peanuts, said it was a gift, and then brought up the draft beer barrel, and took two large draft beer glasses with a liter of one liter, and told the two how to take the beer and then go to roast something.

Tang Luoyong took the draft beer cup first and took two large bundles, handed them to Zheng Xudong first, and then raised the glass and said: "Brother Zheng, thanks to you today, I don't have much to say, it's all in the wine." After that, he first picked up the draft beer glass and drank it all.

Zheng Xudong is not afraid of drinking now, and he also picked up the draft beer glass and dried it in one sip, and then the two of them ate the cucumber between them, Zheng Xudong asked while eating: "Brother Tang, why did you come to work in the magic capital, what are you doing now?"

After Tang Luoyong took a sip of beer, he sighed and said: "Brother, I won't tell you, I was a soldier for five years in the first few years, and then I had to change jobs after violating discipline, and I had no job after returning to the place, and my family was poor, with elderly parents, a son, and a daughter, and the family had to eat for several mouths! By the time he finished speaking, his eyes had a mist in his eyes.

After Zheng Xudong heard it, he said, "Why didn't you hear you talk about your sister-in-law?"

After Tang Luoyong heard Zheng Xudong's question, he was silent for a long time, then filled the draft beer cup for himself and him, dried the draft beer in one gulp, and then said obviously very painfully: "Your sister-in-law is dead." After a while, he said, "Let's not talk about this today, let's meet for the first time today, come, drink." ”

Zheng Xudong didn't continue to ask when he saw that people didn't want to say it, and then the things they ordered began to be served one after another, eating meat skewers and drinking draft beer, and the atmosphere slowly improved.

"Then Brother Tang, what kind of army did you use as a soldier before, and in which unit?" Zheng Xudong had an idea in his heart, so he asked.

"Brother, I used to be a cook in the army, as for which unit I was in because of discipline, I can't say, forgive me!"

"Then big brother, will you drive, do you have a ticket?" said Zheng Xudong, picking up a freshly roasted lamb and eating it all over his waist.

After he finished asking, he saw Tang Luoyong laughing, probably because of the wind and sand in Gan Province, which made his face wrinkled, but he still smiled happily, "Brother Zheng, I won't tell you, I am a cook in the special forces, although I am a cook after cooking, but I still have to practice various military skills, but my main responsibility in the process of performing the mission is to be responsible for the team's food." As for driving, it's a small CASE, it's not a problem at all, and the driver's license is an A1 ticket. After saying that, he also picked up the lamb kidneys and ate them.

When Zheng Xudong heard that Tang Luoyong could drive, his heart moved, "Where does the eldest brother work and how is his income?"

"Working on a construction site in SJ, I would work as a carpenter and bricklayer, so I could earn about 5,000 yuan a month working on the construction site. After taking a sip of wine, he added: "If the contractor does not run." ”

Zheng Xudong's meal is not small, but Tang Luoyong's meal is not small, the speed of the barbecue can't keep up with the speed of the two of them, and the guests at the few tables next to him turned their heads to look at them, and then whispered, Besides, the people of Modu don't drink like this, and the whole stainless steel big draft beer barrel is placed next to it and drinks one after another.

Zheng Xudong brought the young man who served the food and ordered ten dried tofu, green onions and ten slices of toast. He said to Tang Luoyong again: "Brother Tang, you see, there is such a thing, you think about it, can you come and drive for me? I need a driver now." The treatment is 10,000 yuan a month, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Tang Luoyong was of course willing to do it, one was that he was well treated, and the other was that he only needed to serve one person, and the work was easy! He said with some excitement: "Brother Zheng, aren't you pitying me? If that's the case, then there's no need, it's good for me to work on the construction site." ”

Zheng Xudong toasted him a glass of draft beer and said: "Brother Tang, I didn't mean that, it's that I haven't reached the age of taking the driver's license test yet, and I really need a driver very urgently, and I'm thinking about where to find a driver in the past two days?

When Tang Luoyong heard that Zheng Xudong was also looking for a driver, he thought to himself that God had arranged for me to meet this Brother Zheng, and it seemed that there was indeed a fate between us, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to be your driver." ”

"That's great, I don't have to go out and find a driver. By the way, where do you live now?" asked Zheng Xudong.

"I'm now renting a house with a few fellow villagers in the front of the Silver Lake community, not far from here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ride a bicycle here. He replied.

"That's good, it just so happens that my house is not far from here, and I live in the Jingtai Garden Community not far from the front. ”

"I know that community. It's really not far from here, and it's only more than 20 minutes to walk. It's half an hour away from the neighborhood where I live, and it's only two stops away by car, which is very fast. ”

"Okay, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock you come to our community on time to look for me, this is my phone number, you will call me when you come tomorrow morning. ”

Tang Luoyong was also very happy to hear that he would be able to go to work tomorrow morning, but when he heard that he was asked to call, he frowned, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "I don't have a phone yet?"

Zheng Xudong patted his head and said: "I'm really convinced of you, it's too insecure to have a mobile phone in today's society." Okay, so it's too late to buy a mobile phone today, tomorrow you come to our community and tell the gate guard that you find the residents on the 42nd floor of Unit 2 of Building 18, say my name, and they will contact me. Can you remember?"

"Don't worry, I have a good memory, and I won't forget it. Tang Luoyong said happily. He was really very happy tonight, first met the well-wisher Zheng Xudong to help him get rid of the porcelain, if there was no Zheng Xudong, he could have expected that he would inevitably be robbed of a lot of money, and after the matter was settled, he found his favorite job, so he drank more and more happily, and drank more and more frighteningly, he was famous in the army for being able to drink, whether it was white or beer, he could rank in the top three in the army, but tonight he drank with the young man in front of him, and after drinking for so long, he seemed to have not drunk at all, and the two of them have now drunk a twenty-liter draught beer barrel almost to the bottom, but Zheng Xudong can still do one from time to time, This is terrible, he doesn't dare to mention a cup anymore now, and he can only drink half a cup or half a cup at a time.

What made him even more shocked was the amount of food this young man, when he first ordered something, he thought that Zheng Xudong was "big eyes and small belly", maybe the young man was willing to engage in pomp, so he ordered so many things, thinking that anyway, he was busy after work after work and had not eaten until now at ten o'clock, and his own food was not small, Nu worked hard to definitely be able to eat these things, and if Zheng Xudong was not willing to pack, then he would pack it back. But I didn't expect to eat it so far, and the things that should have been on it are almost all on it, and there is nothing left, and it seems that he is still very unsatisfied and can still eat, my God, this is still a stomach! This is simply a bottomless pit! If he is in his hometown, if there is such a big and small man on the stall, he must not worry about his father to death!

In the end, Zheng Xudong still ordered a big bowl of pimple soup, and then he drank most of the bowl by himself before it was over.

After eating, the two of them ate a total of almost 900 yuan, this is the most extravagant meal Tang Luoyong has ever eaten in his life, he estimates that if he tells his comrades-in-arms, they will not believe it, the two of them are making a skewer on the stall, and they can actually take out 900 yuan, if they let the family know, they will definitely say that he is "too loser!"

But he saw that the young man opposite didn't take it seriously at all, rubbed his stomach with his hand and then gave a long wine burp, "It's still delicious at home, much better than those seven-star and eight-star hotels!" Because he drank twenty liters of draft beer with Tang Luoyong and Tang Luoyong today and didn't put it in the space, so his little face was a little red and said: "Brother Tang, you remember to come to me tomorrow morning, don't forget, let's separate here!"

"Okay, Brother Zheng, we'll see you tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
