Chapter 48: Slaughtering Rivals
Xu Hao's Camry has been following Zhou Hua's dash to Shanghai.
After passing through the security booth, it is a small garden, there is an artificial rockery and fountain in the garden, and there are many osmanthus trees, some of which are four seasons osmanthus, which are blooming, and the garden is full of pleasant aroma.
Everyone got out of the car and couldn't stop admiring the fragrance of flowers and looked at Shanghai.
Hufu is a Western-style two-storey villa with an antique "Hufu" signboard hanging on it. At the door stood a welcoming beauty wearing a cheongsam, and the beauties welcomed everyone in with a smile, Xu Hao and Wang Ting walked in front, and He Cheng followed last.
The welcome beauty led everyone up to the second floor into a private room called "Shaoxing", the private room is very large, the decoration can be described as luxurious and elegant, the room has a separate bathroom, and there is a flower plate on the table.
The waiter pulled out a chair and beckoned everyone to sit down, and then made a cup of rich Longjing tea for each person.
"Who is ordering?" The waiter asked as he stood at the table with a smile.
"Give the menu to Boss Xu!" Zhou Hua pointed at Xu Hao.
Xu Hao took the beautifully made menu, looked through the dishes, and didn't order one for a long time, his face was a little ugly, but he still pretended to be smiling and handed the menu to Wang Ting, who was sitting next to him, and said very gentlemanly: "Let's come with a lady!" ”
The menu was a bit heavy, Wang Ting almost didn't catch it with one hand, then took it with both hands, flipped through a few pages, and didn't order a dish.
She said: "I'm not very familiar with Shanghai food, and I don't know what to eat, so you should order it!" As he spoke, he handed the menu to the side of the little skin.
Xiaopi didn't even look at it, and handed it to He Cheng directly.
"Why are you so polite when you order a dish! The waiters have been standing on the side for a long time, if you don't order, I'll come! He Cheng took the recipe and asked the waiter while flipping through it, "What is your specialty?" ”
The moment He Cheng took the recipe, Xu Hao suddenly felt a bad omen in his heart, but his face was as usual.
"Crab roe wings, squirrel osmanthus fish, papaya blood swallow, crab roe lion head, hairy crab, crystal shrimp" The waiter reported it like a few treasures.
"Ugh! Are crab roe fins made with shark fins? He Cheng asked.
"Yes, it tastes better together!"
"Oh, that's it, a big bowl of crab roe wings!" He Cheng looks like a dirt bun.
"Ugh! Sir, crab roe wings are about cupping! The waiter explained with a smile on his face.
"Oh, that's it, hehe, don't laugh at me, I don't know anything about the countrymen! Let's have a cup for each person! He Cheng's words made the waiter laugh.
"Then do you want a large portion or a small portion of crab roe wings?"
"Of course, it's a big portion!" When He Cheng spoke, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong, and deliberately whispered a few more times: "Big dung, big dung!" Waiter, don't mislead me into talking nonsense like this, what kind of is when you eat! It doesn't matter to a countryman like me."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the private room, but Xu Hao and Wang Ting did not laugh.
"Hehe, sir, the crab roe wings of the big cup are 358!" The waiter quotes the price of the dish.
"Ah, so expensive! I've never eaten such an expensive dish, and for the first time today, okay, let's have a cup for everyone! He Cheng continued to look like a bun.
"Okay!"
"Another squirrel fish, a plate of crystal shrimp, and a hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake for each person, uh! One abalone sea cucumber per person. Oh, by the way, I haven't eaten big abalone, one Australian abalone per person, Shaoxing ham fried Ulva cabbage"
"Okay!" The waiter hurriedly wrote it down.
"Wow! This is bird's nest! What does blood swallow mean? He Cheng flipped through the recipe and exclaimed, his exclamation of exclamation frightened Xu Hao so much that his heart jumped to his throat.
"Blood bird's nest is also a type of bird's nest, but it is more nutritious and more valuable than ordinary bird's nest!" For a dirt bun like He Cheng, the waiter only gave a rough explanation.
"It's really a dirt bun, lonely and unheard, bird's nest is the saliva spit out by the swallow, and the blood swallow is the saliva spit out with blood by the swallow!" Xiaopi scolded He Cheng with a smile.
There was laughter in the private room again, this time Wang Ting also laughed, and the waiters couldn't help laughing, only Xu Hao's didn't smile, his face was a little ugly, and he was sweating profusely.
"Oh, bird's nest is swallow's saliva, eating bird's nest is eating saliva is too disgusting, then forget it, don't do this!" He Cheng frowned and said.
The waiter really couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time to see such a strange guest after coming for so long.
As soon as He Cheng's words fell, Xu Hao couldn't help wiping the sweat on his face and wiped his palms with a towel.
He Cheng looked at Xu Hao with concern and said to the waiter: "Waiter, you go and turn on the air conditioner, our Boss Xu seems to be very hot, you see that his face is full of sweat!" ”
"Well, okay!" The waiter turned on the air conditioner.
"Oh, by the way, do you have lobsters in your store? I haven't eaten it yet! He Cheng asked when the waiter came over, and when he said this, Xiaopi stepped on his foot with his foot and made a look, He Cheng pretended not to ignore him and continued to listen to the waiter's answer.
"Yes, but it's only about three catties, and the big ones have already been booked! Excuse me, sir! The waiter explained.
"It's okay, I just want to taste it, it's so expensive, do I still want to eat enough. Just grab one! He Cheng said and swallowed hard.
He said lightly, just catch one! Over there, Xu Hao's face was going to be black.
"Okay, sir, is the lobster eaten raw or baked in oil?" The waiter asked.
"Baking oil!" He Cheng immediately replied that he had tried raw before, and it tasted like eating a frog raw.
His answer caused the waiter to cover his mouth and chuckle, Wang Ting looked at He Cheng's eyes strangely, and he didn't know this person with a face!
"Okay, let's order these for the time being, and then order more if it's not enough!" He Cheng was sitting in a precarious position, and those who didn't know thought he was the owner!
"Sir, you haven't ordered the main food yet!" The waiter reminded.
"Then let's have crab roe xiao long bao and cured rice! How to get on, you just look at it! ”
"Okay! What about alcohol? "The waiter spoke very well, and asked like this, which made you feel like you had to order a drink.
"Wine come to Shaoxing Huadiao, follow the customs, eat Shanghai cuisine with rice wine! But the kind that Huadiao wants to age! He Cheng didn't think about it and blurted out.
The waiter was stunned, and he suddenly realized that the dirt bun in front of him didn't understand anything.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be up soon!" The waiter smiled and exited the room.
During the ordering, only He Cheng was singing alone, and everyone else watched and did not speak.
After the wine and food came up, everyone chatted while eating, it is worth mentioning that the service of Shanghai is really in place, the hairy crabs are peeled for you, the crab meat is picked out, and the ginger tea is given after eating, and the waiter's attitude is also super good.
"Ahh The service is so thoughtful, the dishes are also delicious, I am really grateful to my old classmate Boss Xu, I have eaten this meal and have no regrets! He Cheng said with a sigh.
During the chat, He Cheng learned that Xu Hao and a relative of his have been doing an online store to sell clothes over the years, and now there is a relatively large store on Tmall, and the business is good. Looking at Xu Hao, who was confident and boastful at the moment, He Cheng regretted that he didn't order another steamed eastern star spot.
As for his first love, Wang Ting, she now works in a company, and her position seems to be a financial manager, and she said that her husband set up a factory by himself, and she did not elaborate on what she did. When they chatted, He Cheng didn't say a word, just kept burying his head in eating.
When she was almost eating, Wang Ting answered the phone, as if her husband was calling, asking her where she was, in a loud voice and very stiff, as if she was interrogating. Wang Ting's face was very ugly, and she didn't speak very politely.
"Yo, you started checking the post so early?" Zhou Hua teased.
Wang Ting glanced at him and shouted loudly into the phone: "I said that I was having dinner at the reunion with my classmates, you are not bothered, you will finish eating soon!" Wang Ting answered the phone and walked outside the private room.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right back."
"Okay, come and pick me up if you want, let's have dinner at a restaurant called Hufu"
After that, Wang Ting walked out of the private room door, but the voice became louder and more impatient, and when the door was closed, the sound of her phone call disappeared.
"Hey, Xu Hao, it seems that her relationship with her husband is not very good, you have a chance!" Zhou Hua said to Xu Hao with a smile.
Xu Hao looked at He Cheng, then at the others, but did not answer.
After a long time, Wang Ting opened the door and walked in, her face was a little ugly, and her chest was also rising and falling violently, obviously she was a little excited to be angry on the phone just now.
"Have you eaten everything? My husband came to pick me up right away! Are you still going to sing K? I can't go anyway. Wang Ting stood in the middle of the private room and asked everyone.
"Your husband is not at ease, then take him with you!" Xiaopi said.
"Still don't want it, he has a weird personality, and taking him there will only disturb everyone's interest!" Wang Ting's face showed a hint of disgust.
"If you don't go, what's the point of us big men going? Then don't go, next time, next time we have family members to bring family members, and those who don't have family members bring girlfriends, lovers, mistresses, anything, singing K people are more lively! Xu Hao said.
"Okay, let's meet again next time!" Everyone agreed, only He Cheng did not speak.
Everyone got up and walked out, only Xu Hao went to the cashier to pay, when he went out, He Cheng glanced at Xu Hao who was standing in front of the cashier and swiping the card, his face was really ugly at the moment, as if he had drunk a few catties of Chinese medicine, and he was bitter in his heart.
He Cheng roughly calculated in his heart, this meal will definitely not be able to be served without 6,000 yuan, and it is estimated that there are more than that, there are several bottles of rice wine. Although he slaughtered his old rival today, He Cheng didn't feel happy at all, on the contrary, he felt very depressed, although he was wronged, but at least he was invited, this money is nothing to him, and everyone still owes him a favor. Not only did they not lose face, but they earned face.
The last thing He Cheng wants to owe is a favor, and sooner or later he will pay it back to Xu Hao, even if he goes bankrupt, this is He Cheng.
