The place where the old fox invited us to eat was not in the city center, but in the ...... A very special place.

After the car stopped, I looked at the building in front of me in surprise: "Tu, are you sure the address is correct?" ”

"Please trust the profession, boss." Tu said lightly: "I have seen the map, the roads of the whole Shanghai, as long as there are in the map, they are all in my mind. ”

xx Gastronomy Training School!

Well, the name is like a chef's training class.

Walking into one of the buildings inside, we were greeted by someone who led us into a large classroom...... Yes, that's right, it's a classroom! And, as if I had guessed correctly outside just now, this is apparently a classroom for training chefs.

However, it is clear that there is a sign hanging here: XX cafeteria clubhouse.

In a huge room, there are dozens of pots and stoves! Everything you can find in the kitchen is fully equipped with the most professional equipment, and I even guarantee that even the kitchen of a five-star hotel is not as complete as it is here.

There are already a lot of people in the brightly lit room, and under the effect of dozens of high-end European-style range hoods, there is not a trace of oil smoke in the classroom, but it is filled with the aroma of various foods, as well as the various sounds of stir-frying spoons hitting the bottom of the pot, and the jingling of pots and pans.

To my slight surprise, many of the people who stood in front of the stove with their sleeves rolled up and big spoons were well-dressed. Their shirts, suits, or women's skirts are all brand-name goods of great value at first glance, and these people who live in big houses in high-end cars are now wearing aprons one by one, playing the role of chefs.

"Hey. Here! There was a cry from the old fox, and we looked for it, and the old fox was less than twenty paces away from us, with his sleeves rolled up, and a kitchen knife in his hand cutting a roll of cabbage, with a smile on his face.

"Oh my God, old man, what the hell are you up to? Is this where you invited us to dinner? I walked over and looked at him strangely, and then looked around.

"Don't be surprised, it's a treat. Enjoy, you know? Brat. Old Fox Qiao held a cigarette butt in his mouth, with a slight sweat on his forehead, put down the kitchen knife casually, and said, "Don't you think this place is very interesting?" ”

As he spoke, he handed me the kitchen knife: "You cut it for me, alas, I'll smoke a cigarette." ”

I took the kitchen knife and looked at Yang Wei, she seemed to be smiling, obviously understanding something.

"Look at what? Cut it, you're cutting it for our dinner now. The old fox stepped aside. I was still a little dazed, but I rolled up my sleeves and started to move.

"Chen Yang, you have to understand that there are actually rich people...... A considerable number of rich people have boring lives. And when people are bored to the extreme, they inevitably like to find a strange thing to do. The old fox took a leisurely puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Look around......"

"I'm watching, and I'm curious." I struggled to cut the cabbage. I have to say that my movements are much sharper than the old fox, I don't know if it's because I used to use a knife to cut people a lot.

"In fact, the biggest regret in the hearts of many rich people is that after they become famous, they lose some of the fun of being ordinary people." The old fox whispered: "If you are abroad, those rich people, those nobles, have their own traditions and habits. But China is different...... In China, there is no aristocracy, and there is no so-called family in China. During the decade-long catastrophe of the last century, there were few rich people in China. Now, many wealthy people in China have become rich after the reform and opening up, and most of them have started from scratch. Our rich people do not have the so-called aristocratic tradition, they do not have the set of Europeans. And these rich people who used to be ordinary people, when they are rich and powerful, they are often extremely empty and bored, and they will inevitably want to live an ordinary life again, even if it is just a dry addiction. What do the average person do every day? Do your own cooking! Which billionaire have you ever seen cook for himself at home? Which billionaire's wife cooks her own at home? Very little, very little! Therefore, this restaurant provides these rich people with a little bit of ordinary fun when they are bored, and spend money to buy back a little bit of ordinary people's fun before they were underdeveloped. In this restaurant, guests have to make their own meals, understand? ”

I kind of understood: "Great idea, but ......" I still didn't understand: "If you want to cook your own food, you can also make it at home, right?" I don't believe that these rich people don't even have kitchens at home? ”

"Hahahaha......" the old fox laughed exaggeratedly. Then he looked at the busy people on the left and right, lowered his voice, and laughed in a low voice: "This is the ridiculousness of rich people...... On the one hand, they are a little bored once in a while and want to find ideas to fill the void, you see, they just do this for boredom. Just just to enjoy the pleasure of cooking...... But I don't want to do those troublesome trivial things. For example, if you want to cook at home, you have to go to the supermarket to buy all kinds of vegetables and ingredients, buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., and you have to think about what to cook and how to cook. Also, wash the dishes, wipe the table, and clean up the kitchen afterwards...... And so on and so forth, if all of this was done at home, it would be very cumbersome. But these people, on the one hand, they miss the fun, and on the other hand, they don't have much time, or don't want to spend too much time and jīng energy on the tedious work of preparation. So, how nice is this place? Everything is provided, even what you want to cook, and the ingredients prepared here are more complete than in the restaurant! There are even professional recipes and professional chefs on hand to guide you. It costs a little more, but it saves them time and allows them to fully enjoy it. These rich people, they are not short of money, but time is more valuable to them than money. And...... There is also some mentality: if you do it at home, if it is broken and it is unpalatable, you have to run out to eat, and if it is done badly here, it also provides delicious food. ”

"Understood, that is. The guests here spend money to eat, and they have to make it themselves. I laughed and said, "Great idea." The prices here must not be cheap. ”

"Well, it's slightly cheaper than the Peace Hotel (one of the most expensive hotels in Shanghai)." The old fox blinked.

Yang Wei suddenly smiled on the side: "Mr. Qiao, this place must also belong to you, right?" ”

"That's right." Old Fox Qiao threw away the cigarette butt that was still half left: "Okay, is your cabbage cut?" Now who's going to help me crack egg whites? As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei smiled lightly and rolled up his sleeves very happily.

Soon, I found out that it had become a social occasion for the wealthy.

After the guests at the next few stoves have prepared their own meals, people will occasionally come over and politely invite us to taste their works. Although the taste is good and bad, it ...... I have to say that this feeling will make you feel more useful than paying someone to go to those high-end restaurants for a meal.

Think about it, when a multi-millionaire spends money to treat you to a meal, or he cooks for you to eat, what difference does it make to your heart?

Very subtle idea!

And if you eat someone else's own food, the other person will feel that the fruits of their labor are shared, and they will also feel very happy. All of this adds up to a great atmosphere. I can see that. Every guest around was happy.

I sighed...... This old guy is really smart!

"Since you come, you have to show your hand. Are the young people waiting for the old men to cook for you? Old Fox Qiao smiled.

Thereupon. Yang Wei and I both cooked the dishes by ourselves. I made the simplest, I didn't know much about cooking, so I made the simplest fried egg and sprinkled it with chopped green onions. Yang Wei was beyond my expectations, she actually made two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, one fish-flavored shredded pork and one fried broccoli, which is very good, and the taste is also quite good.

I took two bites and couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

"I learned." Yang pursed his lips and smiled.

Of course, I understood the meaning of her words, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart: "You...... You don't have to. ”

Yang Wei blinked: "Yan Di can't be the only one who can cook." ”

What surprised me the most was the old fox Joe! He actually made three dishes and one soup! And it tastes pretty good! Even if it's not inferior to many restaurants I've eaten! I can't see that this old guy still has such a skill!

There was a table next to each stove, and when everything was done, everyone sat down to enjoy their creations, and occasionally other guests came over to invite us to their dishes, which gave me the feeling of being in a large public dining hall in the past.

With a slight slam of the wine glass, I drank a glass of white wine with the old fox, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect the old man, your cooking skills are so good...... Just Jojo ......"

"Hah! What she makes can only be used as rat poison. The old fox did not shy away from his daughter's weakness, laughed for a while, and restrained his grinning expression: "Okay, let's get down to business...... Have you read the newspaper in the past two days? ”

"I watch it every day." I sighed, "It's not been a lot lately. ”

"You know what? I was going to play bridge tonight. However, during the day today, two groups of people came to me and asked me to be a lobbyist to convince you, so I had no choice but to come forward in person at night...... Alas, you know which two groups of people, right? ”

Yang Wei and I glanced at each other, and then said in a low voice: "It's Qinghong's Tianzi and Dizi, right?" ”

"Yes, the boss of Tianzitou called me, Ouyang Mo from the beginning of the earth has arrived in Shanghai. In the past few days, Qinghong has been very angry, and Ye Huan has played two hands in a row, and he has played well. Let Ouyang and them also miscalculate, they didn't expect Ye Huan to be so decisive in doing things...... Well, it was also he who fought against the odds and let go. The so-called barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. In such a situation, Qinghong is also a little jealous. ”

I said lightly: "Looking for you to be a lobbyist for me?" Hmph, what can I do? ”

"Don't play dumb. There's no need to pretend to be stupid when you talk to me. The old fox snorted: "Of course I know Qinghong's two-word idea, both families want to swallow Ye Huan's territory." But they all cared about each other, and no one made a big move, so they waited so long. I finally couldn't help but do it before, and it was the old man with the herringbone who ran out of patience and shot first. As a result, there was a fire at the nightclub in Wuxi. Hmph, Ye Huan is ruthless enough, tens of millions of business will be burned down with a fire. The news I got was that the people at the head of the herringbone lost more than a dozen that day, and they didn't even grab a dime, and more than a dozen people died, and Ye Huan seemed to have a loss, but the head of the herringbone died a gold medal red stick fighter who could fight, I guess it was Jin He under Ye Huan who did it. However, there were no bodies in the fire, and it was thought that the fire was set after the two sides had finished fighting and cleaned up the scene. That is to say, Ye Huan won. Otherwise, if the herringbone wins, it won't set fire! "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]

"That'...... What about the two cases in Suzhou? Suzhou's drug business was uprooted by Jǐng Fang. And that yacht club...... "I'm silent."

"Don't mention Suzhou...... For the sake of Suzhou's affairs, Qinghong was almost angry, and just a few quarrels turned the world upside down...... You know what? The matter in Suzhou has nothing to do with Qinghong at all. Qinghong's people haven't set foot in Suzhou yet! It was Ye Huan himself who reported it to Jǐng Fang! Scrap the business! ”

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." Old Fox Qiao smiled: "He is cunning enough, and he pushed a few dead ghosts to throw to the jǐng side, but before that." But he drained all the money in the business! For example, the yacht club, isn't it now that it has been seized, Qinghong's people contacted the official to check it...... And guess what? A club with 60 yachts and hundreds of registered senior members with status only has 16 dollars and 5 cents left on the books! All the money was drained by Ye Huan in advance! ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't help laughing and said, "Good means!" Good means!! ”

After thinking about it, I whispered again: "Ye Huan ran out of money and left a rotten and empty stall for Qinghong." At the same time, it also plays the role of threatening the other party: if you force it again, I will destroy everything! You can't get anybody, right? ”

The old fox nodded again and again: "That's what it means." Qinghong was forced to be in a hurry, and even came up with the beheading operation, and wanted to send someone to sneak to Nanjing to kill Ye Huan first, but he lost a few good hands in vain. ”

"So what?" I sneered.

"So...... They're trying to get you to help. The old fox sighed: "Qinghong is a rat trap, as soon as they move, Ye Huan will end the business under his name!" So Qinghong can't move. Even if the old guy with the prefix dares to do it ruthlessly, he is not allowed to move the other two prefixes. The only one who can make a move is you Chen Yang. You are not from Qinghong, and you have a holiday with Ye Huan. At this time, if you do it, Ye Huan's magic weapon to threaten Qinghong will be ineffective against you. You let go of your hands and feet......"

"Not necessarily." I shook my head: "In case Ye Huan is desperate in the end, he will simply abolish all the business in his hand...... It's the same! ”

"It's different...... That's a big difference! The old fox smiled: "Ye Huan's xìng grid, you should know best." He will not make a last resort unless he has to. Do you think he is more than willing to die together? That's for Qinghong! If you make a move, he may not dare to use this trick against you. Besides, there is no way to do it. After all, you are not Qinghong's person, Ye Huan used the trick of abolishing the business in his hand to deal with you, would you care? ”

"Of course not. Qinghong's business is abolished or not, what does it have to do with me? I pouted.

"That's it. Even you think so yourself, doesn't Ye Huan understand? So, you have a chance. Since you have the chance, why not give it a try? This is probably Qinghong's idea. ”

I sneered: "I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" ”

The old fox smiled: "Of course there are other reasons...... Most importantly, we are all skeptical...... Ye Huan, this guy may have a trick! If you can force his back move out, that's what Qinghong hopes for the most. The sooner you know Ye Huan's hole cards, the sooner you will be prepared. My personal guess is that Ye Huan is probably going to roll up the money and run abroad. It's the only way I want to go to him...... But after all, I'm not Ye Huan, and I can't guess what else he has. However, the territory of the entire Jiangsu province, so much business, is not a small amount! Qinghong didn't dare to risk so much money! It's a last resort to ask you to help, and now, you might as well make some conditions. The current situation is that you can ask for the price despite the lion's big mouth, and then wait for Qinghong's people to sit on the ground and pay back. ”

I looked at Yang Wei, and Yang Wei knew that I was signaling her to speak.

"Mr. Qiao, in my opinion, there is not much difference between Chen Yang's shot and Qinghong's own shot...... If Ye Huan must be absolutely determined, then even if Xiao Wu can defeat Ye Huan, Ye Huan may still ruin the business in his hand, and he will not stop doing it! You also understand that this possibility is very big! ”

Yang Wei squinted his eyes and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, you want to put Chen Yang on the stove to roast!" ”

"How?"

"Do you need to talk about that?" Yang smiled and said, "Asking Chen Yang to make a move, of course, is to be afraid of the threat of Ye Huan's death. But more, I'm afraid it's still the uneven distribution of the spoils in Qinghong! Who will go to the turf that has been beaten down, this is the key! The herringbone is powerless to occupy it, so both the sky and the earth want to eat this piece of fat. didn't want to tear his face with the other party, so it was better to give this piece of fat to Chen Yang first. Then ......" Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression sank: "It seems that Chen Yang has chosen a big bargain, but in fact, it is a big trouble!" After Chen Yang ate Ye Huan's territory, when the time comes, it will be nothing to stand aside with the words heaven and earth...... But what about the prefix! The herringbone and Chen Yang have a big enmity! At that time, the herringbone will inevitably be the first to jump out and fight with Chen Yang! Whether it's for hatred or to regain the territory in Chen Yang's hands...... Hmph, in this way, I borrowed Chen Yang's hand to deal with the herringbone by the way! Anyway, the two prefixes of heaven and earth are trying to swallow the prefix after this matter is over! Am I right? In short, this thing ,...... This piece of fat meat is not delicious! ”

The old fox spread his hands: "Hey! Miss Yang, you don't have to be so excited about me, I'm just a lobbyist, a messenger. The powerful relationship in it, you can naturally figure it out for yourself. I'm just in charge of delivering the words. In the end, you decide whether to do it or not, you can go back and discuss it. ”

*********

"Do it or not?"

Coming out of this special restaurant, in the car, Yang Wei immediately asked me.

"Do!" I sighed, "Why don't you do it?" ”

Yang Wei frowned: "However, this makes it clear that the words heaven and earth are using you as a gunman." ”

"I know." I shrugged my shoulders: "So what? Glancing at Yang Wei's expression, I smiled and leaned into her ear: "I suddenly came up with an idea...... You don't think that's going to work......"

After I finished speaking, Yang Wei looked surprised: "This is the idea you came up with?" It's good, it's just ......."

"Wealth is in danger." I said lightly: "Qinghong always wants to calculate me, can't you let me put them in reverse?" Hmph......"

Yang Wei pondered for a moment: "Okay, let's discuss the specific details of this matter...... Where do you want to start first? Surrounding cities, Yangzhou? Suzhou? Zhenjiang? ”

"No!" I whispered, "Nanjing! ”

"Nanjing? Are you going to go directly to Ye Huan's base camp? ”

"Of course! It's Nanjing!
