Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dinner
As soon as the principal and the others left, everyone made a fuss, more than 200 yuan! Plus the substitutes can have more than 10 yuan per capita! In this era when the general salary is less than 100 yuan, it can be regarded as a luxury.
"Where to eat?" Qian Bin and a few teachers who played football wanted to treat the players, and besides, the end of the semester was coming soon, which was also an opportunity for everyone to relax.
"Do you want to go to the snack street?" Luo Dacheng felt that the snack street was cheap and good, and the rest of the money could be used to fight the tooth sacrifice next time.
"Snack street? Lao Luo, your idea is too stingy, why do you keep the money? It's better to clean it up in one meal, the wind blows the eggshell, and the money goes to people's comfort. "Cao Youfu is still a bachelor, he has always been a moonlight clan, and he often calls some friends to drink some wine and play cards or something.
"Then go to Congjiang Hotel?" Qian Bin was a little worried, I heard from Jiang Hotel that the consumption is very high, what if his more than ten or twenty people go bankrupt?
"It's okay, it's just two tables of people, one table is almost more than a hundred, it's just right to save a little, and we'll bring the wine ourselves, so we can save a lot." It seems that Cao Youfu has not been to Congjiang Hotel for the first time, and he knows the consumption situation inside well.
"Okay, that's it, it's a big deal!" Qian Bin looked at the players who were changing their clothes not far away, and the school didn't even have a bathhouse! Ay! It's better to improve the food for everyone, it's not enough to make up for it yourself.
"Congjiang Hotel?" When Qian Bin announced the place of the meal, everyone first didn't believe it, and then there was a burst of cheers, and a group of people rode bicycles towards the destination.
"My defense was timely, right? Otherwise, it will leak people. ”
"You're embarrassed to say, if you hadn't rushed to the front and couldn't come back, how could we have so many loopholes for them!"
"You defenders don't talk about it, you have the easiest game in this game, our midfielder has fought hard for 90 minutes, otherwise you would have been beaten into a sieve!"
The manager of Congjiang Hotel saw that this group of people had a headache, and if he put them in the lobby, he was afraid that other guests would have opinions, it was too noisy! I can only take out the big box, but fortunately, no one has made an appointment for the big box tonight, otherwise it will be really troublesome.
"Let's go, go upstairs!" Qian Bin led a group of students and teachers to the box with a hodgepodge of students, and the messy footsteps made the guests look a little sideways, which unit is so rich? Brought so many people to eat.
In Lin Mo's eyes, the large box of Congjiang Hotel is just the level of a mid-range hotel in later generations, but now it is the most upscale and luxurious restaurant in Congjiang City.
"Youfu, what should you order?" Qian Bin was a little timid, for fear that the dishes he ordered would be out of place, so he found Cao Youfu, a frequent customer of Congjiang Restaurant, and the two of them ordered nine dishes for each table with reference.
Lin Mo picked up the recipe and looked at it, Congjiang Hotel himself had been here three times, and if he wanted to invite guests to eat, it was not as good as the dishes fried by a few masters in the canteen of his headquarters, so he was not interested.
"Holy!" Lin Mo was a little amused when he heard the name of Cao Youfu's dish, Nima is going bankrupt, okay! The amount of more than 200 yuan was ordered by this guy for more than 300 dishes, but fortunately, the wine was brought, otherwise it is estimated that everyone would have to stay here to brush the plate and pay off the debt when the bill was checked.
"Cao Youfu wants to eat a lot of money, it's ruthless enough!" Yuan Ze sat next to Lin Mo and whispered, he himself had eaten here more times than anyone here, so he knew Cao Youfu's tricks.
Cao Youfu's abacus Lin Mo knew very well that he would eat it in his stomach first, and then go back and find an excuse to report to the principal, presumably the principal would not refuse this signing order for everyone's hard work.
The dishes came up, it was really very rich, much better than going to eat wedding wine, everyone shook off their cheeks and ate violently, a few teachers drank their own rice wine and changed the cups, only Qian Bin was a little worried, this Gou Ri Cao Youfu pit Lao Tzu, if it is all up to himself, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the difference at my wife's place when I go home, but I can go back to report the principal will agree? For a while, Qian Bin was a little unpleasant.
"Uncle Sun, you are here, we are all waiting for you." A young man's voice came into the big box, and only the absent-minded Lin Mo heard it clearly in the box.
"Uncle Sun?" Lin Mo's brows furrowed.
"Oops! Xiao Du, I'm sorry! We had a school council meeting after school today, so we delayed until now, and today we let your family break the bank, and we will get together again another day. Sun Yuanzhuang's voice reached Lin Mo's ears.
"Uncle Sun, you are too polite, our two families can be regarded as world friends, plus Xiao Jing and I hit it off at first sight... You... Boom! The door was shut, cutting off Lin Mo's hearing.
"Lin Mo, come, you are our greatest hero today, and the teacher will give you a drink." Cao Youfu drank so much that his face was red and picked up two cups and handed one of them to Lin Mo.
"Lao Cao, isn't it okay for students to drink?" Qian Bin was a little worried that Lin Mo wouldn't be able to return home after drinking.
"It's okay, I started drinking at the age of fifteen, I can't help it, my family is a winemaker." Cao Youfu still insisted on clinking glasses with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo looked at the somewhat cloudy liquor in the glass, this was pure rice wine, and there were no additives or anything like that.
"Teacher Cao, I'll do it first as respect." Lin Mo drank the wine as soon as he craned his neck, and after drinking, he turned the cup upside down to light the bottom of the cup, and there was not a drop left.
"Well, the students of our No. 1 middle school are not bad." Cao Youfu looked at Lin Mo with bright eyes, and also drank the rice wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Are you still coming? Lin Mo. Cao Youfu turned his gun to Lin Mo, and he had the idea of teachers and students getting drunk together.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, my current alcohol consumption is too bad, I will definitely accompany you to have a drink in the future." Lin Mo is not stupid, Sun Jing is in the next room, wouldn't he be unhappy if he was drunk and dizzy?
Cao Youfu turned his head and several other teachers began to fight for wine, the classmates were desperately eating, Congjiang Restaurant is not a place that can be visited often, how can you be worthy of your stomach if you don't eat enough at a time!
"Coach Qian, why don't you eat?" Lin Mo watched Qian Bin take a sip of wine, knowing that he was losing his appetite for the purpose of settling the bill.
Qian Bin is a physical education teacher at No. 1 Middle School, and he is also the coach of an amateur team in his spare time, and his usual personality is also very bold, but today he is sad.
"Ahh Lin Mo! You eat yours, the teacher's appetite is small, watching you young people eat is fragrant, hahaha! Qian Bin picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Lin Mo quietly walked downstairs while everyone was bragging about eating and drinking, and he went directly to the checkout at the front desk.
"How much does the big box cost?" There was a young woman at the front desk, she glanced up at Lin Mo and then picked up the notebook to check the calculations.
"Nima! There is no calculator. Lin Mo watched the young woman clumsily calculate the total number in her notebook, and couldn't help but complain secretly.
"It's three hundred and sixty-nine dollars and six cents." The young woman double-counted and then reported the answer.
Lin Mo took out his crocodile wallet, took out three hundred and seventy yuan, handed it to the young woman and said, "Excuse me, when you settle the bill in the big box, you will say that someone has settled it, if they ask who paid the money, you will say that you don't know?" Trouble. ”
"Poof!" The young woman covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, she thought it was another drama of checking out first, so she nodded and agreed to Lin Mo.
Chinese people have always taken the opposite face more seriously, so there are often scenes of several people rushing to pay the bill and quarreling, and even some people who drink too much and fight, of course, there are some hypocrisy, when a friend took out the money and was ready to settle the bill, he pretended to be a step slower, and then said that this meal should be invited by me, why did you move so fast, anyway, it was a very angry look, making you feel as if you owe him.
In the small box, Sun Jing was fidgeting and listening to her mother chatting with Wang Xia, while her father was drinking wine with Juniper and talking a few words from time to time.
"My Lao Du is not home for a day, either going here to buy goods or going there to accompany customers to drink, it is simply a hotel at home, or you two are good! They all work in the same school, and they have winter and summer vacations every year, so I knew that I should have let my juniper go to the normal college back then, and I could be a colleague with Xiaojing when I came out! You say, don't you? Although Wang Xia was saying words of envy for her grandmother, the pride between her eyebrows was obvious, her husband now runs a vegetable wholesale store, specializing in supplying units and schools, so the business is good.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock at the door, Wang Xia looked at Juniper unexpectedly and said, "Xiao Song, you won't invite someone else, right?" ”
Juniper shook his head and walked over to the door to open it.
"You are?" Juniper felt that Lin Mo was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Hello, I was eating in the box next door, and I heard that Uncle Sun was here, so I came to see him." Lin Mo had already seen Sun Yuanzhuang inside.
"Huh?" Juniper was a little irritable, he was already a little dead-hearted, but under the persuasion of his mother, he decided to hold on to Sun Jing, the key is that Sun Jing is too beautiful, which makes him unforgettable.
"Lin Mo is here! Come here. Sun Yuanzhuang saw Juniper open the door but no one came in, so he turned his head and saw Lin Mo's face.
"It's Lin Mo! Come on. Chen Xiyun likes Lin Mo very much, not only because he saved his daughter's relationship, but also because Lin Mo's conversation and knowledge make the two of them feel very good, so they also have some meaning to look at their nephews.
"Oh! It turned out to be a real acquaintance. Juniper dodged and let Lin Mo in.
"Lin Mo!" Sun Jing was surprised and delighted when she saw Lin Mo come in, and she could only hold back her emotions in front of her parents and greet him generously.
"Lin Mo, have you finished eating?"
"No, it's still in the next room, I ate first, so I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect to see Uncle Sun, so I just came in and said hello." After speaking, Lin Mo greeted his grandfather and them.
