Chapter 21: Eating and Drinking
Li Yu said that he would invite Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing to dinner, how could the two of them believe it. The strength of the two of them is not as good as Li Yu, and they have offended Li Yu before, Li Yu was able to help Yan Wuliang cure his dislocation regardless of his previous suspicions, which decided that they should be treated. The two of them took Li Yu to the place where the hotel was concentrated, muttering in their hearts as they walked.
Strength determines status, with Li Yu's ability, the two of them must not invite him to dinner too low-grade, and places such as food stalls cannot be chosen. However, finding a decent place can cost a lot of money. Both of them are thieves, and they don't have much money in their hands, plus they are lavish on weekdays, and now the two of them have less than 500 yuan in their pockets, in case the gods are not happy, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
was in a dilemma, but Li Yu had already taken a fancy to a restaurant first. The faΓ§ade of the restaurant is quite large, and through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that the decoration of the store is also quite exquisite.
It's true that Li Yu can endure hardships, but if you want to say how frugal you are, you can't talk about it. In the past, in order to wait for a goal, he could lie on his stomach in the snow and eat dry food and pickles for three days in a row. But once the task is completed and the reward is paid, he always calls his brothers and sisters to go to the best restaurant in the city to order a table full of dishes and eat in the dark.
The killers in Guihongmen are basically like this, and the helmsman Han Zhi never interferes, and even has a little connivance. The profession of killer is extremely risky, everyone pays attention to having wine today and getting drunk today, who knows if they can come back safely next time they go out to do errands.
Li Yu came to Yuhai and only followed Ge Jianyu to have a meal outside. Although Li Yu paid for that meal, with Ge Jianyu's strength, the two of them ate less than 50 yuan, which was no different from a box lunch. Next, he went to the detention center again and ate a prison meal without even food. He was hungry for 380 years before he came to modern times, and in the words of the Water Margin, a bird faded out of his mouth.
Today's lunch, Li Yu originally planned to have a big meal, but now he met Yan Wuliang and the others, which happened to have an extra reason. Li Yu was going to ask the two about how to apply for ID cards, and invited them to have a meal in advance, which would help improve their enthusiasm.
"I think this is good, so let's leave it at that." Li Yu pointed to the restaurant and said to the two.
"Jin Kaiyue ......" Yan Wuliang looked at the signboard of the restaurant, his tongue spit out half a foot long, and his legs and stomach were a little cramped. He hesitated and said, "What's that...... Brother Li, can we change places? β
Just now, the two sides have already exchanged their names. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing didn't ask Li Yu how old he was, so they directly changed their words and called him "Brother Li", and Li Yu was not polite, according to their usual nicknames, they called Liangzi and Qingzi respectively, which still followed the rule of judging seniority by fists.
"What, is there anything inconvenient about this place?" Li Yu asked.
"This is one of the best restaurants in the entire Dongxin District, it's a bit expensive......" Yan Wuliang's voice was an octave lower, he looked at Li Yu's face cautiously, and said, "Brother Li, Qingzi and I have 500 yuan left in our pockets......"
"Didn't I say I had a treat?" Li Yu said, "How much does it cost to have a meal here?" β
"If you don't order any hard dishes...... 500 yuan is about the same. Yan Wuliang said, and after speaking, he added: "Also, you can't order liquor, at most get some beer." β
"You can't blow on the bottle yet, and the beer is expensive." Jiang Jiongqing also hurriedly added.
"So, if you spend 2,000 yuan, can you eat enough?" Li Yu asked again.
"That's enough, but ......" Yan Wuliang touched his pocket, wanting to stop talking.
Li Yu stretched out his hand and pushed it on the shoulders of the two of them, and said, "What do you want, I will invite you if you say I'll please, let's go in." β
The three of them walked to the door of Jin Kaiyue, and a waiter wearing a cheongsam helped them open the door, bowed down and invited them in, and asked, "Three, do you have a reservation?" β
"No reservations." Yan Wuliang said, "Is there a private room for three people?" β
"Yes." The waiter responded, she looked at the clothes of the three people, and then said: "However, our private room has a minimum consumption, and the small bag for three people is 1088 yuan, do you think it is appropriate?" β
"1088 blocks...... Brother Li, why don't I be in the hall? Yan Wuliang asked Li Yu for instructions.
Li Yu waved his hand and said to the waiter, "No problem, take us to the private room." β
After all, it is a big hotel, and the waiter's Su zhì is still very high, although the three people are dressed ordinarily, and they are not very old, and they don't look like they have the ability to spend, but the guest said that there was no problem, and of course she was inconvenient to say anything. The kind of tricky waiter in the TV series who looks at the customer's shabby clothes and directly says "Can you afford it" is born to make the protagonist pretend to be slapped in the face, and in reality, he can't survive three episodes at all.
According to Li Yu's original idea, he didn't know much about this era, and the matter of ordering food should be handled by Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing. But seeing the two of them glancing at the cheapest dish, Li Yu knew that what he was entrusted to was not a person. He snatched the menu from the two of them, ordered seven or eight good dishes in one go, and asked for a bottle of Wuliangye liquor. Yan Wuliang and the others couldn't help but salivate when they heard Li Yu report the name of the dish, but they were terrified. They were thinking in their hearts, this meal was at least in their early 2,000s, would Li Yu really pay for it himself?
The dish came up quickly, and sure enough, it was full of color, flavor, and appetite. Li Yu greeted the two of them, and he made the first move. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing were a little restrained at first, but seeing that Li Yu was enjoying eating, the gluttonous worms in their stomachs were also hooked. The question of how to pay the bill was already put on their minds, and the two of them picked up their chopsticks and began to feast.
After eating for a while, with something in their stomachs, the three of them began to drink. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing made enough gestures as little brothers, and toasted Li Yu one after another. Li Yu didn't pretend to be twisted, just do what he said, and soon the atmosphere in the small private room became warm.
"You two are also children of peasant families, why don't you go and do some business to make a living?"
After three rounds of drinking, Li Yu pointed to the two and began to ask. Previously, these two people mistakenly thought that Li Yu was going to clean them up, and rushed to blame each other for each other, which made Li Yu's opinion of them a little better. Li Yu's values are not complicated, he thinks that a person who can be righteous to his friends will not be much worse no matter how bad he is. As for petty theft and the like, in Li Yu's worldview, he doesn't think it's a heinous thing at all. During the chat, he learned that the two were from peasant families, and Li Yu had the idea of pulling them along.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Yan Wuliang put down his wine glass, sighed, and said: "Who doesn't want to do a good job, if you do this now, you won't have the face to see your father and mother when you go home, and someone will poke your backbone when you walk on the road." To put it mildly, no one wants to be a sister paper, and if you can meet our eyes, you must be a female thief, and if you become a family in the future, won't it be a thief's nest? β
"Our parents are all farmers, and we don't have any backing. We have no education and no skills, so what can we look for? If it weren't for life's compulsion, who would do this? Jiang Jiongqing also said with a long sigh.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "You can't say that, but if you want to do something, you can't find something to do." Like the one where I bought the map today, it's just an old man who can make money by setting up his own newsstand, why can't you do that? β
Yan Wuliang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, you don't know anything about the city. The old man set up a stall, there must be someone behind him, or the poor workers on the street can get a stall permit. Like me and Keiko, if we dare to set up stalls on the road, when the chengguan comes, we will be punished so that we can't even wear pants. β
"Which factory are you going to work in? I've heard people say that there are 1 million migrant workers in Yuhai, and everyone can find something to do, so why can't you find it? Li Yu asked again.
Jiang Jiongqing said: "This is the wolf has more meat and less meat, there are many factories in Yuhai, but there are more people who come to work." Those migrant workers from the mainland can endure hardships and ask for little money, so why should we fight with them? β
"You just mean you're lazy." Li Yu said with a smile.
"Hmm...... It's a little bit. Jiang Jiongqing didn't deny it.
Yan Wuliang also felt that he had no face to speak, so he quickly diverted the conversation and said, "By the way, Brother Li, you just said that you want us to help with something, what is the matter?" β
"That's right." Li Yu said, and told the two people about the identity he had made up. The two of them were amazed about Li Yu's experience, and the meaning of learning from a teacher was revealed in and out of the words.
"Let's talk about the apprenticeship later." Li Yu said, and then said: "I grew up in the Taoist temple since I was a child, and I never knew what the ID card was. But now in the city, it's hard to walk without an ID card, do you know if there is any way to get one? β
"You mean, get a fake certificate?" Yan Wuliang asked.
"yes, as long as it works." Li Yu said.
Yan Wuliang had a difficult look on his face, and said: "If you want to get a fake certificate, it's not difficult, you can do one for 200 yuan, and you can write whatever you want." However, this kind of fake certificate is to go to an Internet cafΓ© to surf the Internet, find a small hotel to open a room or something, and it's almost the same as fooling around. If you really want to use it to get a bank card, as well as deal with the police, then it's no fun, now the ID cards are all networked across the country, and the police will know whether your information is true or false when they scan their machine, and you can't get a fake certificate at all. β
Seeing Li Yu's confused look, Jiang Jiongqing explained to Li Yu what online inspection was. Li Yu sighed at the magic of modern science and technology as if listening to a book from heaven, and at the same time, he began to hesitate about **.
"But." Jiang Jiongqing clicked his mouth and said: "If Brother Li doesn't care about money, he can also get a real fake certificate, which is no problem, but the price may be a little expensive, and the cheapest will be a few thousand." β
ββββββββββββps: There are a lot of brothers speaking in the book review area, which is a good thing. Complimentary, orange blushed and smiled, come and praise, come and praise. As for those who scold the street and call oranges to be eunuchs in the morning, you can wash and sleep. A book of 2, 3 million words, now just at the beginning, you can know what Orange intends to write, you are really divine. You don't want to be the same when you read books, why do you have to compare this book with Zhang San and Li Si's books, is it interesting? There are so many cool articles in the metropolitan area, can't you allow Orange to write a book that is different from others?
