391 Water should be mixed with more wine
When they arrived, the friend began to ask his wife to prepare the food and drinks. After five minutes, it was all arranged. The three sour Ding'er repeatedly gave up their hands and gave in, and finally sat down together.
Mr. Mak's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at his friend who had come with him, just as the friend was mischievously losing a look at him at the same time.
This friend Mr. Meng, who is the proprietor, is really too stingy. There are only two kinds of appetizers, a plate of peanuts, and the number is easy to count.
One plate is braised fish, the fish is decorated with some coriander, and the fish is turned fish. Shanghai people pay attention to eating fish without turning over, whether it is to eat at home or to treat, the other half of the fish is to be saved for the next meal. Now on this banquet, it is not half eaten, and it is served as a wine and food.
Luckily, their main purpose was to drink and talk, so Mr. Mak simply didn't go to see the food. Just look at the wine, the jar is not bad, it is the famous brand "Xiangxue" in Shaoxing wine.
The three friends began to push the glass and change the glass, there was nothing at first, but the taste was bland, and at the end of this wine, Mr. Mai was really a little crying and laughing.
It turned out that Mr. Mai had drunk seven points in his own home, and his face was seven or eight points red drunk. Now it's good, Mr. Meng's wine at home is getting weaker and weaker. Now the face has returned to its true color.
How much water has to be mixed with this jar of wine!
Another friend also saw Mr. Mai's face slowly recovering, and he couldn't hold back the snickering in his heart, and quipped:
"Now that the salaries in the hall are all timely, Brother Meng's income is one percent higher than the two of us, why are you reluctant to mix a little more wine in this water?"
Mr. Meng was exposed by his friends, and he had no shame. He waved his hand and said:
"As you know, there are so many places to spend money now. A few days ago, I took a rickshaw to the deputy director's house to report on an errand on the street of the garden house where his family lives. The people who watched the street didn't let my rickshaw in. ”
Mr. Meng slapped the table with his hand, deepening his tone to express his anger:
He even said that he is now a factory worker. Be a little tailor. Those who came out and went in were also rickshaws. ”
Mr. Mai and the friend also nodded with embarrassment, deeply agreeing:
"There's an even more hateful one. They take rickshaws, and they don't even bargain very much, so compared with this, it seems that we bargains are not dignified. ”
The three friends sighed together. Their current standard of living, food, clothing, shelter and transportation. It has been caught up by the working class in all directions. It's like an exam in class. Although there are a hundred points on the high. They're only a mediocre sixty, but there's a terrible twenty down there. Suddenly, there were no 20 points, except for those who scored 100 points, everyone took 60 points. It's really uneven.
Mr. Meng reached out and slapped the table again. Deepen the tone:
"I really can't swallow such anger, so I was ruthless and bought a chartered car with a steel wire!"
The carts used for taxis in Shanghai are all yellow Baotou. Shout to be a rickshaw. For your own use, it is generally cyan. Shout to be a caravan.
Mr. Mak and his friend suddenly became interested:
"You bought a chartered car? Let's see! ”
Mr. Meng, who was the proprietor, had been waiting for this moment for a long time, stood up happily, and took the two guests out to see the car. In fact, the car was originally placed in a conspicuous position outside the door, but it was covered with a layer of tarpaulin.
Mr. Meng stretched out his hand and uncovered the tarpaulin, only to see the green caravan, two huge wheels, rubber tires, and some protruding rubber burrs when he got off the plane. The spokes of the wheels of both tires are made of stainless steel, and they are shining silver, and they are so flashing that people can't help but block their eyes with their hands.
Mr. Mak was full of affection, reached out and touched it, and sat on it to feel it.
"I've always heard them talk about it, this car has to be one hundred and two oceans, right?"
"I talked about the price, and it only cost one hundred and eight."
"That's really cheap, if you want to talk about a few of us, it's still worth buying, and it's also an expense to call a rickshaw every day."
"If you want to buy a car, everyone can afford to buy it, but it is too expensive to maintain a car, and I will drive my salary to 20 yuan a month. It's hard to find a neat-looking driver! ”
Mr. Mak and his friend opened their mouths neatly at the same time, and their eyes widened:
"What kind of joke, the coachman costs twenty dollars a month"
Mr. Meng was so in love that he tried the back of the caravan with his hand.
"The driver is really hard to find, I am almost worried, and I am reluctant to return it."
Mr. Mak and his friends stopped in unison, saying:
"Don't retreat, such a good car."
After saying goodbye to his friends, Mr. Mak returned home and discussed with his wife that he would also like to buy a steel wire silver caravan. Mrs. Mak said,
"If you really want to buy it, you can go to work decently, and the children will go to school decently. I went back to my sisters, and I looked decent. ”
Her eyes sparkled, full of yearning for a better life in the future.
Because he has been compared with his neighbors who are workers recently, Mr. Mai took a look at his family background and decided to surprise his wife and children, so he made the decision that day.
The next day, I went to the car dealership to choose a car, and Mr. Mai wanted to be more clever, so he used a lower price than Mr. Meng, one hundred and six yuan, to buy a car.
The guy from the car dealership delivered the car to the Shikumen house where Mr. Mai lived, and all the neighbors gathered around to watch and praise him repeatedly. Mr. Mak was also very proud, bowed his hand, and asked the neighbors to help find the driver.
The coachman was very difficult to find, and after three or two days of hard work, Mr. Mai couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to be the coachman himself and take his wife and children shopping. Another week passed, and the fresh energy passed. The coachman still couldn't find it.
Originally, this matter was reminded by his old friend Mr. Meng a long time ago, but he didn't know why the lard was blinded and he had to buy it.
At this time, Mr. Mai's boss's boss held a banquet in his garden house and invited Mr. Mai to attend. Mr. Mak was dressed neatly, because his family's caravan was not easy to use, so he still had to call a rickshaw to go.
Mr. Mak took a rickshaw and arrived at the neighborhood where the banquet was located, but was stopped by the street soldiers watching the street, who did not let him pass or explain any reason, but just did not let the rickshaw pass.
Mr. Mai sent the rickshaw away with the money, and patted his head in annoyance, which happened to be reminded by his old friend Mr. Meng, this garden house street, discriminates against rickshaws.
It's too late to say anything now, so Mr. Mak has no choice but to take two steps and walk forward, but it's only a thousand steps anyway, and he won't get tired to death. After walking a few steps, I heard a crisp rattle behind me.
Mr. Mak looked back and saw that it was his friend Mr. Meng.
Mr. Meng sat on the caravan and smiled and bowed his hand to him, although the car was wide, he did not let him go up to sit together, and only let the driver slow down. The two of them came to the boss's boss's bungalow together.
The coachman straightened up and greeted:
"Uncle McT."
It turned out that this old friend, Mr. Meng, turned out to be his eldest son as a chauffeur.
