Chapter 13 Four dishes and one soup
So the three of them came to the largest restaurant in the town, and after taking their seats, they took over the menu, Zhang Zhengguo handed it to Liu Wenqing and asked her to order, but Liu Wenqing really didn't know what to order, and the meal was originally confused, so the menu was not famous in his hand for a long time.
Xu Jianhua said: "Wenqing, if you don't know what to eat, I'll help you order, I know what you like to eat best." ”
Even at this time, Xu Jianhua did not forget to stab Zhang Zhengguo. Xu Jianhua then said to Zhang Zhengguo: "Zhengguo, you see that there are only three of us, let's not order too much, we can't eat and waste, you say it's not good, the older generation sees us ruining food, and their hearts can't be painful to death, you say yes." ”
Zhang Zhengguo thought that you felt that you were not invited, so you didn't dare to do more, for fear of giving me a long limelight, but I wanted to stab you, so he said:
"Oh, Jianhua, everyone finally met, you opened up a little, what are you afraid of if I pay the bill?"
Xu Jianhua waited for this sentence, so he said: "Is this appropriate? ”
Wen Qing also knew that it was not good to put on a score if there were too many points, so he said: "What is open!" Just order four dishes and one soup, and you can get a bottle of good wine. Wen Qing felt that better wine would at least not hurt people.
Xu Jianhua saw Wen Qing say this, so he had no choice but to agree, so he said: "Then the wine will come to Moutai." ”
Zhang Zhengguo said: "Just Moutai." ”
Xu Jianhua continued: "I will also order a few dishes casually, and I will eat them." ”
Xu Jianhua's words were originally said to Zhang Zhengguo, when he said this, Liu Wenqing must have thought that he was thrifty, but this stimulated Zhang Zhengguo, and he couldn't show it, so he said:
"Jianhua, you just order it, ah, I'll pay."
Xu Jianhua was secretly proud, so he said to the waiter: "Let's have four dishes and one soup." ”
Xu Jianhua continued: "Just order this bird's nest soup, the dish, an abalone, and fried double crispy, yes, this braised prawn." ”
At this time, seeing that Zhang Zhengguo was still good, Xu Jianhua was a little breathless, thinking that these dishes would be a few hundred yuan at most, so he said to the waiter:
"What else do you have here?"
The waiter saw that Xu Jianhua didn't order the expensive dishes on the menu, and then looked at his clothes and didn't look like a rich man, so he was afraid that he was here to eat the overlord meal, so he said:
"I have to ask our boss ...... this" said the waitress walked out and found the boss, after the boss entered the house, Xu Jianhua didn't know the reason, so he said unhappily:
"Don't look down on people and think we can't afford it, do you? Tell me, what's the best dish? ”
Liu Wenqing looked at the side, but to no avail, between the boss said calmly, today there are indeed business owners who invite merchants to dinner, and the merchants are all from Zhejiang, so we got a special dish from Qingdao a few days ago, that is, four fish, but only three were made, and one is left in the bathtub, why don't you try it? “
When Xu Jianhua heard this, he said to Zhang Zhengguo: "It's something that is eaten by entrepreneurs, let's try it." ”
Zhang Zhengguo felt that there could be any good dishes, so he said: "You have to taste it." ”
Xu Jianhua turned his head and asked, "Then what are you guys?" ”
The boss grinned and said, "Electric eel." ”
Xu Jianhua hadn't even heard of it, so he immediately said: "That's it, let's do something well." ”
When the boss heard this, he was worried that no one would eat this fish, but he didn't expect it to go out all the day, so he happily instructed the chef to go and make the garlic stewed electric eel.
Zhang Zhengguo didn't know what an electric eel was, so he thought to himself that it was just a fish, and asked, "What is an electric eel?" ”
In fact, Xu Jianhua didn't know, but he saw from the boss's eyes and the specifications of a large enterprise customer that this thing would definitely not be cheap.
But Liu Wenqing said: "The electric eel is a kind of marine fish, found in South America and the Atlantic Ocean, it is said that this kind of fish will discharge when in danger, and the voltage is enough to cause cardiac arrest." ”
Zhang Zhengguo and Xu Jianhua were very curious, they didn't expect that there was such a thing in the world, so they really wanted to see what this dish looked like.
The three of them can be said to be reunited after a long absence, but Liu Wenqing always feels that the atmosphere is not quite right, and Xu Jianhua and Zhang Zhengguo are polite on the surface, calling them brothers, but they always make people feel ridiculous, but Liu Wenqing also knows that Xu Jianhua is helping him send Zhang Zhengguo, so he doesn't care much about these things.
But after eating, when checking out, the old squad leader opened his mouth to ask for 1,600, Zhang Zhengguo was very puzzled, so he asked the boss:
"I said boss, you are also dark enough, why are you so much money for these dishes, you give this meal to the Jade Emperor?"
The boss was not in a hurry, because he also saw that Xu Jianhua was intent on killing Zhang Zhengguo, so he smiled calmly: "The guest is God, you are the Jade Emperor." But to be honest, I won't joke with you, our dish is at this price, don't lie to you, the electric eel you ordered alone is more than 800 yuan. I don't hide it from you, the fishermen on this beach have very few opportunities to catch this kind of fish at sea, and many people use this kind of fish to raise, just this one, from the fishermen have to ask for four or five hundred, and I came in from the fish market, plus freight, preservation, to our here, you eight hundred is really not much! ”
Xu Jianhua also said hypocritically: "Boss, we don't know that this fish is so big, how much can you understand it, it's cheaper." ”
Liu Wenqing was silent on the side, that is, she was shy and reserved, and she didn't laugh out loud.
When the boss saw Xu Jianhua say this, he also made a favor and said: "That's it, my one is useless for today's noon banquet, and it is estimated that no one can afford to eat, since a few people can come to me to enjoy the light, it can be regarded as a favor for me, we all understand each other, you give me a total of 1,500 yuan, so it's interesting enough." ”
Zhang Zhengguo is a businessman, and he also knows that when the boss talks about this, he has no room for bargaining, so he took out 2,000 yuan from the leather bag under his armpit, and then carefully counted it three times, and gave 1,500 yuan to the boss.
When the boss received the money, he nodded happily in his heart, and when the three of them left, he didn't forget to say: "Welcome to come next time!" ”
Zhang Zhengguo went out and muttered in a low voice: "It's my grandson again!" But he complained so secretly, but he didn't dare to be too embarrassed in front of Liu Wenqing, so he had to do this wrong.
Originally, Zhang Zhengguo also wanted to make an appointment with Liu Wenqing and watch a movie, and if Liu Wenqing went home on the weekend, he would send her home, but this time he was in no mood, but he said that he still had some goods to pick up in the evening, so he rode a motorcycle back to the county.
Although Xu Jianhua said that he was very good at living in vain, he couldn't drink enough, and he couldn't support it by Zhang Zhengguo, so he said to Liu Wenqing:
"Wen Qing, I'll push the car by myself for a while, breathe, you go back first, I'm fine."
Of course, Liu Wenqing knew that Xu Jianhua was drunk, so he also stopped the car and pushed back with Xu Jianhua.
Between the town and the village, asphalt roads have now been built, unlike the dirt roads they used to use when they used to go to school, they are bumpy and gravel, and they often have flat tires when they ride bicycles. The poplar trees planted on both sides have also grown tall in a few years, and their leaves rustle in the breeze.
Xu Jianhua was no longer in the mood to appreciate the beautiful night, but stopped the car and immediately ran to the side of the road and vomited.
Seeing this, Liu Wenqing hurriedly stopped the car to help him beat his back, but he didn't have water on his body and couldn't rinse his mouth. But Xu Jianhua vomited a few times, but he laughed out of place, laughed for a while, and coughed for a while because he vomited uncleanly, Liu Wenqing couldn't help it, and said with a smile:
"You said you, why bother, I saw Zhang Zhengguo taking out the money at the time, and my hands trembled."
Xu Jianhua said: "Hey, for him, it's all small money, he will come back in a month, what's wrong with us for a while?" Since he's going to pursue you, I can't follow a little light, but I also saw it, haha, his legs and stomach were about to turn when he went out! ”
Saying that, Xu Jianhua laughed again, and then pretended to regret and said:
"The only pity is that all the 800 electric eels in my stomach are wasted!"
However, after Liu Wenqing smiled, he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Xu Jianhua, I didn't solve the siege without you this time, I ...... I really don't know what to do, after all, we're all old classmates. ”
Xu Jianhua smiled and said, "Bullshit old classmate! I, Xu Jianhua, are the most righteous, you go back and ask Qin Wei, since he was a child, has he been bullied, if he is bullied, I have to beat the person who bullied him, but this time I failed to give him ......"
Liu Wenqing and Xu Jianhua pushed the car on the road again, and they were used to it for a long time. But Liu Wenqing heard that Xu Jianhua suddenly didn't say anything, so he asked in wonder, Xu Jianhua thought to himself, it would be good to say it at this time to let Liu Wenqing know Zhang Zhengguo's personality, so he said:
"Hey, in fact, when I was in school, it was Zhang Zhengguo who told you about spending the night with Qin Wei......" So Xu Jianhua told me the ins and outs of my matter, and continued:
"It's just that you don't know about this, Zhang Zhengguo also thinks that he is very smart and hides from the world, in fact, Qin Wei and I both know, but Qin Wei has a good heart and lets him be a kid, but this time I can't help, so tonight can be regarded as giving Qin Wei this breath." Speaking of Xu Jianhua, there was a burst of amusement.
Hearing the truth of the previous incident, he was also disgusted with Zhang Zhengguo, but he was very grateful to Xu Jianhua, and he was glad that Qin Wei had such a good buddy, so he said lightly: "It's hard for you." ”
Xu Jianhua didn't know what Liu Wenqing meant, so he continued: "Wenqing, I just can't understand Qin Wei, he obviously likes you very much, but he doesn't dare to get close to you, it's really anxious." But don't worry, I'll take care of this matter to the end, if this kid Zhang Zhengguo pesters you again, you will push it on me, and I will sing against him, so that you will be better, so as not to disturb you every time. ”
Liu Wenqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, I will cooperate." ”
At night, Liu Wenqing was originally going home, but after tossing and turning all night until now, he decided to sleep in the school dormitory for one night and go back tomorrow morning. Xu Jianhua was blown by the wind, and most of the wine woke up, and after sending Liu Wenqing back to school, he went back to the town dormitory.
