Chapter 190 Taojia Fish Head Pavilion
Updated: 2012-12-26
Tang Ning's understanding of Hongmen is only heard or literal. I don't know what kind of power the largest gang in the Chinese world has. But the tip of the iceberg revealed by Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao couldn't even talk about the tip, just a little gap, and he faintly felt it. This historic organization is absolutely unimaginably large.
Let's ask, a solemn Mercedes-Benz 560 car, the current price in the domestic market is about 7 million, but listen to their meaning, this is just an ordinary car for the children of high-level officials in the organization when they are studying abroad. And the new house that is about to be seen is also spending money on the organization.
In other words, as long as the children of members of the organization are studying all over the world, they do not have to spend a dime on what they need. Although there is a difference in grade, there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the world in Hongmen, and how many young people of the third and fourth generations are there? If it is really according to what Zhou Yu said, how much financial resources do you have to afford it?
Tang Ning was shocked, staggered, and couldn't imagine.
In the car, watching Jiang Tao skillfully driving. Tang Ning was really a little envious in his heart.
"What's the matter?," Zhou Yu on the side teased.
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'm just weird, let's just drive on the road with such a swagger." Aren't you afraid of being caught by the traffic police? Although it was night, I heard that the traffic police in Beijing enforce the law very strictly, and besides, don't there also relevant provisions in the laws and regulations that minors are not allowed to drive motor vehicles alone?"
"Che, you can get a driver's license at the age of sixteen in the United States. Don't worry, it's okay, Jiang Boy's driver's license is international. ”
"Oh. Tang Ning took another lesson, and suddenly, he asked again: "By the way, I just remembered something, how much did it cost me to transfer to another school this time? You wait for the next report, and I will transfer it to you." The matter is mine, and you can't let the money pay. ”
Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze from the night browsing outside the car window, did not nod, and did not refuse. Just shook his head. He didn't doubt whether Tang Ning was capable of taking out this money, but looked at him with great meaning and said with a smile: "Tang Ning, you have to understand that it's not a matter of money. ”
Tang Ning frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "What do you mean?"
"Power!"
"Power?"
"That's right. ”
Zhou Yu nodded, seeing that Tang Ning still looked unpuzzled, knowing that he had been living in a small place before. Although his own cultivation is good, his living environment makes his cognition very shallow. Except for cultivation, he has almost no understanding of some social rules and sophistication, and the whole person is like an unrendered blank paper.
He still has a lot to see and learn.
Today's society, after all, is not a martial age. A lot of things can't be solved by being able to fight. Even if it has invincible power, it will be stretched thin in an environment where power and wealth crisscross each other. will also be socially constrained.
"Your home is in the Northeast, and it's still a small place that is hard to find on a map. And the capital here is the capital of a country. Transferring your student status here across several provinces is not something that can be done with money, unless it is the kind of super-selected talent who ignores the rules and regulations and is specially selected to enter Beijing. ”
Tang Ning smiled wryly. "I'm obviously not one of them, so who am I?"
"Don't worry, listen to what I've to say. Money, no, but power can. The one we entrusted was a peripheral member of the Hongmen, but he had a lot of power in the country, and he was a relatively high-level government official. Isn't there such a saying on the mainland, what kind of leader has a mouth, and he breaks his leg below. That's the benefit of power. ”
"So where is he now? Do you need to wait a few days for a while to come down, find him for a meal, and express your gratitude?"
Zhou Yu's chin was slightly raised, and a wave of arrogance came out of his body, directly vetoing Tang Ning. "No, I don't have to. It's too late for him to catch up. Just let him do such a small thing within the scope of his power. There's no need to talk to him. ”
Zhou Yu said. But Downing didn't think so. After all, he is a beneficiary, and compared to them, he is an outsider and is not in Hongmen. It is still necessary to express gratitude. But Zhou Yu didn't reveal his mouth, and he didn't know who that person was, so he could only find a suitable opportunity in the future.
The new house is located in the west of the city, and the most satisfying thing about Tangning is that this temporary residence in the capital is not a building with ten or twenty floors at every turn, but a rare old-fashioned courtyard house that represents the history of the capital. There is a patio, three into the courtyard, seven or eight rooms. The door panels, columns, eaves, and long strips of bluestone that lay under the threshold all have mottled marks left by the years.
In the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, the price of such a courtyard that covers a large area is more expensive than that of buildings, and it is much more expensive.
The car was parked at the door and did not turn off the engine because I had to go out to eat later.
Zhou Yu walked in with Tang Ning, and briefly introduced as he walked: "We have only taken over here, and we haven't had time to clean it up yet." You choose the room yourself, you see, there are four rooms here, and there are more in the back. The furniture, appliances, beds and everything in each room are ready-made. No need to rearrange. Straight to the check-in. ”
"No choice. That's it. Downing pointed to a room in front of him.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It just so happens that I'm on the right, and Jiang Boy lives in the middle." You chose the one on the left. I don't know, I thought the three of us had discussed it in advance. ”
Jiang Tao, who was carrying the box in the back, also rarely showed a smiling face. Strode away, walked directly into the room designated by Downing, put the box in, and quickly exited. Said succinctly: "Let's go, go to dinner." ”
"Where are you going?" Out of the gate and getting into the car, Tang Ning asked casually, and quickly said, "However, you have to say it in advance, I've been in the car for so long." No appetite, don't overdo it. The purpose is to eat well and put an end to extravagance and waste. ”
"Alright, alright, where is all this nonsense. Jiang boy, drive. ”
Beijing is the most difficult and easiest to eat. Because I eat too much. As long as the wallet in your pocket is enough to "drum". Then you can eat whatever you want. A private restaurant with a long history. A world-renowned super hotel. The eight major cuisines of China. Western-style fast food embodies the wildness of the United States, the romance of France, the rigor of Britain, the solemnity of Germany, the mystery of Brazil, and so on. The whole nine yards. There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't eat. And that's not even counting the hundreds of long-standing snacks in the old city of Beijing.
If you really don't have to choose, or there are too many samples, and you don't know how to choose, that's easy. You can call the hotline of "Delicious China". The girl in there can help you with a sweet voice. According to the consumption level you provide, let's cite a few representative places to eat for you to choose from. It's quick, easy, convenient, and practical.
Obviously, Zhou Yu used this method. The place to take Downing is called "Taojia Fish Head Restaurant"
Don't look at the name is not very good, but this store is also quite famous in the capital. It is said that the ancestor of the owner of the shop had the honor of serving Kangxi once in his old age. The "Lao Suo Banquet" of that year had the medicinal food of the Tao family.
It was 11:30 a.m., and half an hour was midnight the next day. But the door of the Taojia Fish Head Museum is still brightly lit, the traffic is busy, and it is a lively and extraordinary scene. This is a big scene that can never be imagined and cannot be seen in the previous small northeastern city.
In the wide parking lot at the entrance, there are rows of cars of various styles, models and colors that are smooth and atmospheric, elegant, fashionable, or flamboyant. There is no extraordinary, even people like Downing who don't know anything about car brands can see the high price of these cars. Looking at the cars and people, just these cars, you can think of what kind of people are eating here.
Standing at the door of the gate with a crimson appearance and an antique hollow carving, Tang Ning was a little hesitant. "Eat here?"
"yes? What's wrong? Didn't you hear me when I was talking on the phone in the car?"
"It's not...... I mean, there are so many people here, can there still be a seat up there now?"
Zhou Yu came over and put his arm around Tang Ning's shoulder. There was no look of concern on his face. Push open the door, put your arms around him and walk inside.
"Don't worry. We made the phone on the way, and it wasn't even eleven o'clock. Besides, the fact that there are many people proves that we have chosen the right place! ”
"Welcome. Inside please. Dressed in a red cheongsam, tall and tall, the waitress holding the palace bun put her hands in front of her abdomen, bowed and saluted, and smiled. Shows good professionalism. "Excuse me, sir, have you three booked a table in advance?"
"Why, you can't eat here without booking a table?" Jiang Tao behind the two raised his eyebrows. Said with a cold face.
"No, sir, you are mistaken. There are more customers now. If you don't have a seat in advance. I'm afraid ......" smiled apologetically, and although the beautiful waitress didn't say the second half of the sentence, everyone understood. If you don't have a location beforehand, you can either wait or ask you to change places.
"Okay, half an hour ago, I booked a 'no' room on the third floor. Lead the way. ”
"Three gentlemen, please come with me. The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, the young man dressed in black and dressed in cool clothes looked so scary!
Walking downstairs through the noisy and full house, there were four or five waitresses dressed in the same red cheongsam shuttling through the busy lobby. Walking on the pale yellow wooden staircase, Tang Ning took a step back and asked Zhou Yu in a low voice. "Why is this name so weird?"
"That's right, sir. There are a total of eight private rooms on the third floor, which are taken according to the eight words of pavilion, platform, floor, pavilion, elegant, chic, not, and vulgar. Your three reserved seats are the 'no' in the elegant. ”
The waiter at the tip of the ear explained. Downing understood. I don't know who came up with the idea. If the boss here. Then he's a gentleman!
The beautiful waitress led the three of them to the "no" room on the west side of the third floor, and said politely: "Three gentlemen." Inside please. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the door open. But suddenly, not only she was stunned. Zhou Yu, Tang Ning, and Jiang Tao, who were following behind, were also stunned, and then their faces sank.
Especially the hot-tempered Jiang Tao. Snorted coldly. The waitress was terrified.
