3. 003. Two bottles of Louis XIII
It's a small bar, but it's a quiet and elegant bar. Sticking to the wall is a row of bamboos with almost no gaps, and the verdant bamboo makes this small bar feel extra peaceful in the hustle and bustle of the city. Because it was still early, there was not a single customer in the bar with only a dozen seats, so it was naturally very quiet.
In a general bar, usually in order to add some atmosphere, some music will be played, mostly modern, or Western, but the music echoing in this bar at this time is a classical tune, the instrument in the song is about the pipa or zither, with each gentle plucking of the strings, the soft and soothing music will fly in the air, making this somewhat quaint bar full of indescribable tranquility.
At this time, the man who was dressed in an extremely ordinary way and wore extremely expensive glasses was walking down the street seventy or eighty meters away from this bar. The crocodile soles had worn off a lot, and he had walked for an unknown distance, but he was still walking. Generally speaking, when a person starts from the starting point, he will always know where his end is, and he must always have a goal, but such a man, where to go, he himself does not know, where the goal is, he is not clear.
He just walked casually like this, and he came here by accident. In fact, the music in this bar is not loud at all, and it can even be said that it is impossible to hear it on the street where there is a constant flow of cars and people. However, in this bustling city, everything is not absolute, and when the man was walking slowly, I don't know if it was because his ears had a sensitivity that ordinary people did not have, or if his unhurried, casual and soothing pace matched the tune of the tune, anyway, he heard the music.
Hearing such music, the man couldn't help but stop, and he looked up at the bar, and saw the bar under the shade of green bamboo. At this time, there was some bright color in his indifferent eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth that were not angular and angular, and then he walked slowly towards this side under the call of this music.
Once in the bar, the man walked straight to the innermost seat and sat down. Such a seat, with a solid wall behind it, without worrying about danger coming from behind, and being able to see everything in the bar is the door, this is the reason why he subconsciously chose such a seat. Years of career will always make people consciously or unconsciously choose a position that can avoid danger to the greatest extent, and this man is naturally no exception.
The neatly dressed waiter walked up to him and politely asked, "Sir, what do you want?" ”
The man's eyes looked very empty, and he said lightly: "Louis XIII!" ”
When he said this, his voice was not loud and his tone was very soft, but when the waiter heard this, his eyes, which were not too big, widened in an instant. He looked at the man's clothes carefully, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, and finally he said: "I'm sorry sir, we don't have Louis XIII here, do you want something else?" ”
"Martell! The man's eyes remained unchanged, and after saying it indifferently, he added, "LORde JeanMartell, crystal bottle!" ”
The poor waiter looked at the man several times again, his eyes rested on his T-shirt that could be bought for dozens of dollars and the cloth shoes that looked no different from the old cloth shoes in Beijing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "I'm really sorry, sir!" We don't have Martell here either, do you think you want something else? Seeing that the man in front of him didn't look like a bad guy, but also looked very much like his homeroom teacher in high school, the kind waiter felt the need to remind the man, "The wine you just ordered costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, which is too expensive!" ”
For the kind reminder of the waiter man, the man didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't raise his eyelids, but just said expressionlessly: "Come whatever you want!" ”
For the coldness of the man, the waiter's mood suddenly became depressed, and after snorting coldly in his heart, a mischievous thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said with a little imperceptible evil smile: "We have brandy here, authentic French brandy, do you want a glass?" ”
The man didn't seem to see the hint of a wicked smile in the corner of the waiter's eyes, and said slowly, "Two bottles!" ”
The waiter's eyes almost popped out, and he looked at the man as if he were looking at a mystery, for he could not see where the man would come out with the money after drinking two bottles of flown French brandy. The man's upper body is a T-shirt, not even a pocket, and the pockets on both sides of the pants are flat, which does not look like a wallet at all. But the quick-witted-looking waiter did not dare to conclude that the man did not have enough money to pay for two bottles of brandy, for he could not see behind the man's buttocks, and perhaps the money was sitting in his trouser pocket.
The waiter struggled to suppress the thought of getting the man to stand up and look behind his ass, and said slowly but clearly, "Sir, we sell brandy here in cups!" ”
The man's voice still didn't change, and he said lightly: "Ten cups!" ”
Although it was only two words, the waiter's eyes almost didn't burst. He calculated in his heart that ten glasses of brandy together were more than two bottles, and it was better to have two bottles! He tried to stabilize his mind for a moment before he slowly said, "I'm sorry, sir, how many of you are there?" Do you want to wait for other guests? He firmly believed that the man in front of him wanted two bottles of brandy, and that someone else would come, and maybe the one who would pay the bill would be the one who came later!
To the astonishment of the self-righteous waiter, however, the man replied, "I'm one!" ”
After the waiter was extremely shocked, he finally spoke again: "Sir, our wine here is for sale here, not for sale, and not for guests to take away!" ”
The man said, "I know! ”
The waiter opened his mouth, and finally said kindly: "Sir, this brandy is very strong, and the wine is very strong, you are alone-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the man had already interrupted him, "Know! ”
At this moment, the waiter opened his mouth, finally said no more, and turned to walk towards the bar. When he walked to the bar, he looked at the beautiful proprietress there, and seemed to ask, "What should I do?" ”
The bar was not big, and there were no other people, and the young proprietress listened to the conversation between the waiter and the man just now, and although she was also very shocked in her heart, she nodded to the waiter and whispered, "Give it to him!" "After all, in these years, there are many magnificent poor people, and it is not without rich people who pretend to be poor. I can't guarantee that this man is a rich man who doesn't pay much attention to his clothes and behaves in a low-key manner! Although such a person is less than a hundred and two-year-old virgin in a brothel, it cannot be absolutely said that there is none, but the proprietress is still wrong, and she is so wrong.
