Chapter Forty-Nine: People Are Forced Out
Chen Tao subconsciously dodged sideways, dodging the figure that pounced on him.
The man was flashed by Chen Tao, staggered and rushed forward a few more steps before stopping, panting roughly, staggering and turning around, holding half of the wine bottle in his hand. The angular spikes shimmered with a faint cold light.
Chen Tao frowned and stared at the figure in front of him, and after seeing the person's face clearly, he was slightly stunned. I saw that the man's face was flushed, his face was full of scum, his eyes were scattered, and he was full of alcohol, he was actually a drunken drunk, and his eyebrows made him feel a little familiar.
Drunk? Chen Tao was a little stupid for a while.
As soon as Chu Lei reminded him on the phone that the guy who caused the car accident had been released early, he met a person in the cemetery who wanted to attack him. This inevitably made him feel a little reminiscent.
But when he saw that it was a drunken drunk who attacked him, he couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much.
This number doesn't look like a well-planned attack.
The drunk man slowly stood firm, squinted his eyes and trembled as he raised the wine bottle, finally aimed his spikes at Chen Tao, and rushed over again.
Seeing that Chen Tao was still in a daze, Er Meng waved his little short hand and rushed towards the drunk man without hesitation, shouting: "Babi, you run first, I'll cover!" Then, a whole mass passed through the drunk man without hindrance.
Ermeng's shouting stopped abruptly, and he blinked in a daze, "......"
Where can the drunk see Er Meng, let alone really be blocked by Er Meng, and the sharp eyes on the half of the wine bottle in his hand will be pierced towards Chen Tao.
Between the lightning and flint, Chen Tao came back to his senses, pedaled and stepped back a few steps, and ran away. After running dozens of steps, he stopped, flashed behind a tombstone, and poked out half of his head to look at the drunk man from afar.
Er Meng flew to his side, widened his eyes and said anxiously: "Babi, you hurry up and run! What are you hiding here to watch!"
"Don't worry. No matter how bad I am, I can run faster than a drunk. Chen Tao said in his heart. Seeing that the drunk man patted his face, seemed to be more sober, and looked around again, as if looking for his hiding place, he silently said: "Er Meng, do you think that person is a little familiar?"
"I didn't pay attention, I don't know!" Er Meng pouted angrily and said depressedly: "Babi, drunk people are irrational! ”
"But...... The man was really familiar. Chen Tao thought for a moment, but still couldn't remember where the familiar feeling that the drunk man gave him came from.
At this moment, Chu Lei's voice came from the mobile phone: "Taozi! Taozi! Why is it suddenly silent? Is something wrong?"
The voice was heard very clearly in the quiet cemetery.
The drunk man suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where Chen Tao was hiding.
"Pig, I'm fine. We'll talk later. Chen Tao hurriedly hung up the phone, and saw that the drunk man was already running to where he was with a wine bottle, he didn't dare to hold it up anymore, and ran quickly to the parking lot.
The drunk man chased Chen Tao to the parking lot, and only stopped after seeing Chen Tao get on the land car and stay away.
Chen Tao gasped and sat in the car, turned his head to look at the drunk man who was scolding behind the car, and didn't calm down until he couldn't see it clearly, and called Chu Lei.
Chu Lei answered the phone almost as soon as his mobile phone rang, and asked urgently: "Peach, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just met a drunk man on the way back. Don't worry. Chen Tao said in a relaxed tone.
“…… Drunk?" Chu Lei was obviously also surprised, and couldn't help repeating.
"Yes. Maybe I drank too much and made trouble for no reason. Chen Tao said, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Pig, do you have a photo of the driver who caused the car accident?"
"Yes. You wait. Chu Lei knew that Chen Tao wanted to recognize people, so he replied decisively.
Chen Tao soon received the photos sent by Chu Lei. He carefully identified it and made sure that the drunk man was not the driver who caused the accident three years ago, and then chuckled: "Well, that drunk man is not the driver back then." It seems that I was really unlucky. ”
"It's good if not. Hurry up, get over here, let us suppress your shock!" Chu Lei put his mind at ease and urged with a smile.
Chen Tao hung up the phone in agreement, but the look between his eyebrows was not as relaxed as if he was talking to Chu Lei. He was sure that the familiarity that the drunk man had given him was not an illusion. But he never remembered who the drunkard was.
The land carrier stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated hotel in the center of Teikyo. Chen Tao got out of the car, entered the door and reported the name of the box to the graceful counselor.
Seeing Chen Tao's slight surprise, the counselor immediately regained his composure and said with a smile, "Hello Mr. Chen. Mr. Chu Lei, they have arrived. Mr. Chen, please come here. With that, he walked gracefully in front of Chen Tao's half-step position, took Chen Tao to the door of the box, knocked on the door and pushed it open, politely invited Chen Tao to the table, and bowed down to exit after confirming that he could start the food.
Chu Lei stood up, looked around Chen Tao three times, and sat down with peace of mind after confirming that Chen Tao was really fine.
Chen Tao gave him a look, and then didn't mention what the two of them said on the phone, and glanced at the desktop. The friends waited for him to come before starting the dish, and none of the main dishes were served, only a few side dishes and drinks. Look at the wine glasses in front of the three friends, the wine is different.
Chu Lei put a red wine glass in front of him, and the wine glass was naturally full of red wine. Chen Tao knew that Chu Lei paid great attention to protecting his throat, never smoked, and only drank red wine, just drink.
And Zhou Xiaokun loves to go to nightclubs, and there is a liscup in front of him, the cup is very small, and the wine it contains shows a rainbow of beautiful colors. Chen Tao was secretly speechless.
Don't look at the rainbow wine, the color is bright, and it is very ornamental. However, the color layering mainly depends on the difference in the proportion of different liqueurs. The alcohol concentration varies from high to low. A glass of rainbow wine is a mash-up of several different alcoholic alcohols. If you don't have a really good amount of alcohol, you really can't drink a few glasses of this kind of high and low alcohol blend. In addition, liqueurs have a strong taste, which affects the taste of the tongue, so they are mostly drunk as after-dinner wine.
Like Zhou Xiaokun, regardless of the so-called table culture and exquisiteness, he arbitrarily chooses what he loves, and orders rainbow wine as soon as he takes a seat, and seems to be very sure that his alcohol is good enough to drink from before the meal to after the meal, Chen Tao is the first time to see it.
looked at Su Duhuan again, and directly put a palm-sized wine bowl in front of him. The bowl is filled with pale golden liquor. There was a bottle of aged immeasurable liquid in a pound next to it. Wuliangye is a self-produced wine of the Chinese people. There is an old saying among the Chinese people that "a thousand cups of wine are few for a confidant". It is said that the name of the immeasurable liquid is the meaning of "meeting confidants, talking about wine, and the cup is immeasurable".
Chen Tao looked at several different wines appearing on a dining table, and asked helplessly, "What is the main dish we are eating today?"
Chu Lei raised his red wine glass to Chen Tao with a smile, took a sip, and said, "Fresh 12-grade Muyuan Frost Flower Steak." ”
Chen Tao blinked, took a deep breath, and gave Chu Lei a thumbs up.
Muyuan frost flower cow is a pure natural cattle breed bred on the Muyuan star.
200 years ago, the Cape Federation discovered the first habitable planet in the early days of interstellar exploration, and it was named Cape 1 Habitable Star. It is also the closest habitable planet to the Cape planet discovered by the Federation so far. However, it is not up to the standard of a human habitable star, and the federal government naturally does not have a resettlement plan for it.
After nearly 100 years of research, development and transformation by the Interstellar Resources Research Bureau of the Cape Federation, Kaipu No. 1 has become an agricultural and animal husbandry resource star of the Cape Federation, and it was officially named Muyuan Star.
No valuable special minerals or large-scale veins have been found on the Muyuan Star, so naturally no large-scale industrial equipment has been built, and it is a pollution-free planet in the true sense.
And the energy consumed by interstellar transformation and interstellar transportation is quite large. The Frost Flower Cow was transported from the Pastoral Star to the mother planet Cape, and it was still fresh! It is conceivable that its price must be ridiculously high, and the quantity is still quite limited.
Chu Lei should have used the relationship of his mother's family to immediately order a table of top 12-level Muyuan Frost Flower Beef as the main dish.
When Chen Tao heard that the main dish was Muyuan Shuanghua cow, he decided that he had to drink red wine.
Red meat with red wine is what countless gourmets have summed up.
The best ingredients must be cooked by top chefs. The hotel chef wearing a big top hat quickly pushed the counter into the box and began to cook the steak under the watchful eyes of the gunflower friends.
The steak is eaten in its original flavor, and it is not difficult to fry it, but the sauce is very particular about the combination.
Everyone drank and chatted while waiting for the steak to be cooked.
Pieces of fresh frost steak, with a bright red surface evenly distributed with a beautiful white grease like frost and snow, are placed on a thick-bottomed frying table, making a pleasant sound of "zilazila". The mellow aroma of Makihara beef spreads out in the private room.
After watching the one-and-a-half-finger-thick steak turn from bright red to pink and white, and then gradually turn to caramel color, the chef poured on the secret sauce. Wait for another five minutes, wait for the steak to lock the juice, and then serve it to the friends.
Chen Tao sniffed the aroma of the combination of Muyuan beef and sauce, slowly cut the steak with a knife, revealing the pink meat inside, and sighed that the chef had just the right control of the heat and put the beef in his mouth. As soon as you bite it, the gravy and sauce overflow in your mouth. Chew carefully, the meat is tender and delicious. It's delicious.
The friends of Gunhua no longer care about chatting, and devote themselves to this taste feast.
This meal of the original frost flower cow, everyone is always full of happy smiles, eating very enjoyable, and very satisfied.
Su Wanhuan rubbed his bulging little belly, and the deep dimples on his face were full of laughter, and he still said with unfinished meaning: "The legendary Muyuan Frost Flower Cow is still the top level 12! When I think of eating a land car, I really want to say, I can eat a few more!"
Zhou Xiaokun drank a few glasses of rainbow wine, a thin layer of red mist floated on his little face, and said happily: "The treatment of Gunhua is really good. Not only can you play music happily, but you can also be accompanied by food and wine. Happiness!"
Chen Tao raised his eyebrows meaningfully and teased: "Xiao Yu'er, are you missing something?"
Chu Lei was also drunk at this time, and when he heard Chen Tao's words, he rolled his eyes angrily.
Su Duhuan lifted the wine bowl and stuffed a large bowl of wine, put down the wine bowl, smashed his mouth and sighed: "Hey, seriously, I am reluctant to leave the imperial capital." The art academy has you, as well as the brothers and sisters of Dumpling Rain...... Although the teaching faculty of the Rongdu Conservatory of Music can be better than that of the Art Academy, how can it be as happy and comfortable as here. ”
"That's easy. Let's take the high-level unified examination together, maybe we will all get a good ranking, and then the gun flower will really become a famous academic band in the whole empire!" Chen Tao said with a smile, filled the wine bowl with the wine bottle, and then picked up the wine decanter, and added some wine to Chu Lei and his wine glass.
Su Duhuan held the wine bowl, pondered for a while, glanced at Chen Tao deeply, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll call Rongyin tomorrow, push the escort matter, and take the unified examination with you!"
Chen Tao was stunned, put down the wine decanter, frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Yes. Su Du raised his head happily, drank the wine that had just been filled, and said: "Chen Tao, to be honest, my family's economy is not as good as you and Chu Lei. My name is 'Su Wan Huan', but I know that I can't really 'Su Wan Huan'. Moreover, I also know that your formation of 'gun flowers' may be just a whim. However, in the past few days, I have been recording "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" with you, and I have really felt a lot. Not only because of the lyrics you wrote, but also because of the touching brought by the brothers and sisters of Dumpling Rain, the tacit understanding when we cooperated, and the epiphany of skill improvement...... This really makes me feel that if I go to Rongyin alone, I may regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Chen Tao looked at Su Duhuan's burning eyes, sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "Su Duhuan, if you say so, my burden will be heavy." ”
"I'm just being honest about my thoughts, but I don't want to rely on you!" Su Duhuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, blinked, and sneered: "But I believe in your talent." People are forced out. ”
Chen Tao: ......
