Jincheng Hotel, a famous five-star hotel in Shencheng. It is known for its ability to attract celebrities to stay in the hotel industry. A one-night stay in the presidential suite here costs more than 60,000 yuan, and it is not arranged by anyone. Originally, Lin Shouyi wanted to book the presidential suite, but the front desk staff rejected him with a polite smile: "I'm sorry sir, our presidential suite here only accepts VIP reservations, and only heavyweight celebrities or political leaders can make temporary reservations." ”

Ye Haodong came here one step ahead of Zhang Shaowei. After Lin Shouyi checked in, Ye Haodong was led by the waiter to the 24-hour serviced luxury standard room on the eighteenth floor. Lin Shou must have three rooms in the same room, and Ye Haodong lives in one of them.

Lin Shou was messy when he heard his scolding, and he didn't know what kind of evil fire this master used to make through this matter, so he didn't dare to talk about it. Ye Haodong scolded, felt comfortable, stretched his waist, and ordered: "Let's sleep with him first, and then talk about what to do." ”

In the lobby of Jincheng Hotel, Song Chaodu and Zhang Shaowei seemed to be hugging each other excitedly, while He Lin, who had feminine features, avoided the oncoming bear hug and only shook hands with Song Chaodu. After a brief greeting to each other, Song Chaodu let them go to the café in the lobby. The scene was not as enthusiastic as the three had expected.

In 1994, in the juvenile detention center, where nonsense was not allowed, they were able to speak their minds freely. In 2002, in the lobby of the Jincheng Hotel, where freedom of speech exists, they all learned to speak in half a sentence. Friendship is still there, youth is not there, society has quietly built a wall in everyone's hearts, everyone remembers the innocent friendship, but no one can be the innocent self.

In the café in the lobby, Song Chaodu was smoking a cigarette and talking, Zhang Shaowei suppressed his heart and barely responded, and stopped talking from time to time.

The content of the chat was mainly about reminiscing about the past eventful years, and then talking about their current careers. Basically, Song Chaodu said it, and Zhang Shaowei listened. After introducing their respective careers, Song Chaodu talked about what he had seen and felt in Shencheng for more than a year. He made fun of the coffee drinking habits of the people of Shencheng.

Shencheng people pay attention to a petty bourgeoisie, pay attention to delicate and delicate taste, this sour energy has long melted into the bones of Shencheng people, you drink coffee, let's drink, take it and blow it twice, it's cold, and it's stuffy. Shencheng people are different, drink coffee after a meal, regardless of the size of the cup ears, don't try to pass your fingers through, the first sip of coffee is the key, don't be busy adding seasonings or stirring, take a small sip first, good coffee is slightly bitter, mellow taste, from milky to coffee, layered. The coffee is astringent, or the milky flavor overshadows the aroma of the coffee. On the side, He Lin elegantly pinched the ear of the coffee cup and took a shallow sip, and his expression and movements were very bourgeois. Drinking coffee with a coffee spoon here is a joke, and the spoon should be set aside after stirring. A good coffee sugar should be brown sugar, which is placed on the coffee foam and does not sink easily. Zhang Shaowei picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup, then scooped a big sip with the spoon and drank it, and the sound of water absorption was popping.

The atmosphere of the chat is a bit like a chicken and a duck talking. The scene was cold for a moment. Zhang Shaowei seemed to have made up a lot of determination and was just about to say something.

A group of people walked in from outside the lobby and made a beeline for the café. Everyone carried a stick in their hands, and the leader was a young man in his twenties, with a strong physique, with short hair and a full face, and a very bad look. As soon as he came up, he only asked: "Zhang Shaowei, right?" Zhang Shaowei took off his sunglasses and nodded. The sticks rained down. Song Chaodu shouted you1, threw out the coffee cup he had just pinched, and the elegant petty bourgeoisie that had just shaken out was suddenly lost. The ninety-six degree coffee burned on the face of the short-haired youth, and the short-haired youth led by him covered his face and howled wildly.

In just a few moments, the hotel's security arrived. rushed up to separate the two groups, and the group that beat Zhang Shaowei fled when they saw that the situation was not good, and even the young man who was burned ran cleanly. Only Zhang Shaowei was left with his head covered in blood, and he collapsed on the sofa with his arms in pain, his face pale with pain. He Lin was still holding a bloody ashtray in his hand, and he had also participated in the battle just now, and he had used this ashtray to injure a thug.

Song Chaodu took out his mobile phone and dialed 120 first, and then he was about to call the police, but Zhang Shaowei endured the pain to stop him. "Don't call the police, it's useless, the mastermind behind this group can't be managed by ordinary police, after reporting to the police, they will trouble me even more in the future." Song Chaodu felt aggrieved and bored, and scolded: "Dog, what kind of person hangs like this, can scare you, the four heavenly kings of the juvenile detention center, like this, is it possible that you have been beaten in vain?" ”

Zhang Shaowei was speechless in pain, He Lin wanted to interject, but was stopped by Zhang Shaowei with his eyes. Song Chaodu saw something meaningful, and didn't ask again.

120 came very quickly, Zhang Shaowei was carried into the car, and after a simple hemostatic disinfection treatment in the car, he was sent to the nearest Jing'an Hospital.

When Ye Haodong woke up, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening. After a brief wash, Lin Shouyi and the four of them heard movement in his room and came over one after another. Several people were hungry, and Ye Haodong proposed to go out to eat the most expensive meal. As a result, none of the four people responded to his proposal, these four people all grew up abroad, this time they came to the most prosperous and famous metropolis in China, and they couldn't help but want to go out for a walk, after several people hesitantly expressed this intention, Ye Haodong waved his hand happily and played! If you don't call you, you don't have to come back, Lao Tzu will eat a good meal by himself.

Ye Haodong came to the lobby alone and asked the hotel waiter where to eat the best. After reading his room card, the young lady politely pointed him to the restaurant in Mellon Town, and told him that the Shanghai style Yang cuisine and Shanghai style Sichuan cuisine there are the first authentic dishes in the world. Finally, he weakly reminded him that it was very expensive. Obviously, the little girl was confused by Ye Haodong's room card, thinking that the young man in front of her was a middle-class person who came to Shencheng for tourism or errands. After Ye Haodong left, a handsome flat-headed young man came to the front desk, took out a work card and lit it up in front of the front desk lady, and asked, "Where is Mr. Ye going just now?" ”

Hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, Ye Haodong has long heard of the name.

At this time, if you used to be in the past, you wouldn't be able to eat authentic food anyway. Shencheng people say that the northwest wind rises and eats hairy crabs. It means that the best time to eat hairy crabs is from late September to mid-November. However, now the people who breed crabs have learned to adjust the water temperature to control the time and fatness of the crabs, so even in March, you can still eat authentic and fatty hairy crabs in Shencheng.

Ye Haodong ordered seven special dishes of the Mellon Town Restaurant, namely: crab roe shark fin", "dry roasted prawns", "crystal shrimp", "fried eel paste", "rich fish noodles", "dry roasted green beans", "stir-fried crab roe", and asked for eighteen steamed crabs at once, and did not enter the private room, just in the hall, a table was full. The girl waitress who was dressed in traditional clothes and looked fresh reminded him in soft Mandarin that the dish was all ready and asked him to use it slowly, Ye Haodong nodded, the little girl left a bunch of tweezers, hammers and pliers, looking at Ye Haodong stupidly couldn't figure out what this thing was for, the little girl covered her mouth and ran back with a group of little girls.

Good guy, I ordered eighteen crab roe in one meal, can you not attract attention. The waiters are well-informed, and they have never seen such a way of eating.

Ye Haodong's crabs came up, a large stack of cage drawers with high yards. Just about to taste it first, an old man came to the table, I can't see how old he is, in short, he is a very old man, full of white hair, wearing a traditional Tang costume, clean and pie, special spirit! Gently knocked on the table where Ye Haodong was with a mahogany stick, and asked very angrily: "It's that your kid ordered eighteen crab roe at once, so that my old man didn't have to eat today?" ”

When Ye Haodong looked up at the old man, he noticed that in the backstage of the hotel, several managers in suits and leather shoes were eager to come over but didn't dare to come. Two young men who looked like bodyguards stood not far behind the old man, staring at Ye Haodong with cold eyes all the time. Ye Haodong's heart moved, old-fashioned, with an extraordinary background, a whole piece of petrified wood is a finely carved crutch, such a lively old man is rare no matter where he is.

"Hey, old man, do you want to eat crabs?"

"So much for one meal, are you done? Don't talk nonsense, let me two and everything will be over, or I will flip your table. ”

Ye Haodong put his hand on the table, pressed the old man's crutch, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, I am willing to treat you to a meal, even if we are fated, but if you want to scare me with lifting the table, then I'm sorry, you can play while playing, I just don't care if you lift the table." ”

The old man glared at Ye Haodong for a while, then put away the stick and looked at Ye Haodong carefully. Finally, when Ye Haodong spoke, there was no hypocrisy on his face. The old man sat directly opposite Ye Haodong, without a word of nonsense, and went straight to eat.

There is a saying that practice makes perfect, and the oil seller and the Yangyouji have their own unique skills. This old man actually has the skill of eating crabs, and the crab shell can be put together into a complete crab after eating. Seeing that every time he finished eating one, he would casually put out a crab shell in front of him, and Ye Haodong forgot to eat it. After the old man skillfully eliminated the two hairy crabs, he clapped his hands and carefully wiped the beard on the side of his mouth with the handkerchief he carried. stood up and said to Ye Haodong: "The big bargain has been taken advantage of by you, don't expect my old man to give you a little red guy money, but your little doll is right for my Nong Yifu's spleen and stomach, my great-granddaughter Nong Junting, on the fifth of next month, will be in Jincheng Spring and Autumn Garden to recruit a son-in-law, you kid must be ready, be high-profile, and be as heroic as you." Don't be petty. With that, he walked away.

Ye Haodong chased him out excitedly, but was stopped by two bodyguards. I watched the old gentleman's back disappear into the chic-shaped old Lancia. I secretly wondered: This old man is not confused, and I want to ask him about the technique of eating crabs.

Affected by this incident, Ye Haodong had a great appetite, and ate the dishes on the table cleanly, and the little waiter who watched it was speechless, obediently, this guy ate one meal alone, enough for a family of three to eat for a day. When settling the accounts, the owner of the hotel personally came out to receive him. glanced at the crab shell left by Nong Yifu, and said with a smile: "Eating crab and leaving the shell, getting the lining, saving face, Mr. is so blessed, I can invite him to eat a meal at the old man's house, and I also left you a full face." ”

Ye Haodong listened to it and half understood and half didn't understand, and directly asked for money, the hotel owner waved his hand, and said very unrelentingly: "A little drizzle, Mr. can let the old fairy of the farmer climb my threshold, and I will have a big face, which is worth more than a table of dishes you eat." ”
