Zheng Hongda has always been modest about the vulgarity of his restaurant, but in fact, his restaurant is very successful, the upper and lower floors are quite luxurious, and the people who come and go are high-end guests. When I walked inside, the upper and lower floors were already overcrowded, and when Zheng Hongda came in, people at each table got up to salute, and Zheng Hongda also smiled in return, and instructed Xiao Er to add a dish to everyone who was familiar with him.

No one cares what the dish is, but what they care about is his favors from all over the world, which is very face-saving for people who are familiar with Zheng Hongda, and face is priceless.

took Mao Yulong directly to the 3rd floor, entered a private room, and without waiting for Mao Yulong to order, Zheng Hongda called the famous dishes in his hotel like flowing water, and finally left one for Mao Yulong.

The chicken, duck, fish, and seafood were all available, and Mao Yulong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you think I'm a foodie, the two of us can't eat so much anyway, and it's not good to waste it." ”

As a result, Zheng Hongda slapped the table and praised loudly, "Brother, you are really a thrifty housekeeper, you have seen it since you were a child, and you will enter the official career in the future, you are definitely a good official who understands the suffering of the people. ”

The person who said this is intimate, this is a sleek and cosmopolitan person. A sycophant makes you feel very comfortable.

Pouring a cup of hot tea for Mao Yulong, Zheng Hongda asked, "Why is it that today's brother is so leisurely and not at home to study, but he is on the street, is there anything wrong?"

In the face of this self-acquainted brother, Mao Yulong did not hide his purpose: "Little brother, I am about to enter the academy, although in principle, everything spent is the official family, but the three festivals and six birthday gifts of the Orthodox Sect Master are indeed indispensable, this is respect." At the same time, in the same year, there was a big and small affair in the family, and he also had to move around, which was a favor and also needed a sum of money. ”

Zheng Hongda nodded understandingly, "It is very important to do a good job in the friendship of classmates in the same year, which is also the unbreakable foundation of human relations in the future, which is much better than temporary cramming." ”

Mao Yulong spread his hands, "But brother, look at me, my family is really poor, I always rely on my mother to wash clothes for others, and I can't support this family at all by relying on that reward, so I have to come out to make a living." ”

Zheng Hongda knocked on the table, "Brother, don't worry about this, brother, I have worked hard all these years, and I have a thin family fortune, and I will bear the burden of your schooling." Then he added, "I can explain that when you are motivated in the future, you will know your brother if you want to know it, and if you don't want to know it, we are passers-by, and when you ride a tall horse and step on your brother's feet, my brother will immediately report to the official." Speaking of this, I was amused by myself and laughed.

Mao Yulong was really moved in his heart in the face of such a bold old brother, "I know the character of the old brother, helping the needy, and his character is all over the world, which really makes the little brother admire." It's rare to have a confidant in life, since I have such a good brother, how can I give up so easily, don't say what the future will be, even if the younger brother is really high, I will never dare to show off my power in front of my brother. Then he also said solemnly, "When the time comes, I really stepped on your feet, and before I reported to the official, I was afraid that your old brother would beat me, with my small body and bones, I would never be able to bear it in the face of your body." Then I was amused by my own joke and laughed happily.

In this happy laughter, the mood of the two people was completely closer, and from then on, they really became brothers who shared weal and pain, and they never swerved until death.

After laughing, Mao Yulong continued to talk about his own affairs, "I have written down the kindness of my brother, but if you want to go long-term, you can't always rely on others, then you will become a moth, and everything will have to be picked up on one shoulder." If you are at home, you can't let your parents enjoy your old age, you can't let your little sister grow up happily, and you can't let Xiaohuang eat and drink well, then how can you face the danger of officialdom in the future, the difficulty of national affairs, and how can you govern the country and level the world, so this time the little brother will refuse your kindness, and everything will be regarded as a tempering for myself. ”

Zheng Hongda knocked on the table again, "I am most optimistic about you like you, brother, since the words are clear, then I don't care about my brother." But I can tell you, it's not my brother who stands by, and although I don't care about you in terms of money, if there is anything I need help with, my brother and I will never be the shrunken turtle. As the saying goes, if you want to get things done, a good man has three gangs, of course, let's talk about it, what means do you have to make a living and let my brother help you with your staff. ”

Mao Yulong took out the manuscript in his hand and put it on the table, Zheng Hongda took it and looked at it, and listened to Mao Yulong talk about his plan while reading it. Of course, if you want to say that it is bright and bright, and the dirty ideas of the girls hidden in it, it will never see the light, which is like a conspiracy, it must be hidden under justice, otherwise what kind of conspiracy is it

As soon as he heard Mao Yulong say this, Zheng Hongda closed the manuscript in his hand and smiled, "If you don't talk about one hero and three gangs, it's really appropriate to ignore it." You're running into a wall everywhere, but my brother and I happen to have a friend who runs a bookstore, so you might as well share your thoughts with him and ask him to do him a favor. ”

Mao Yulong couldn't ask Zheng Hongda for his help, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"In that case, I'll call that brother of mine, and the two of you will talk face to face, and then we will have a drink together." After saying this, he turned his head and shouted down, "Come on, someone come up." ”

The sound of footsteps on the stairs, a junior hurriedly came over, "Do you have any instructions from the owner?"

Zheng Hongda said, "Don't be busy serving food first, you go to the printing office at the corner of the street and invite Boss Wang to come over, just say that I, Zheng Hongda, have an invitation." ”

Xiao Er agreed, handed over the sackcloth carrying his shoulder to his companion, and walked away.

The two of them were chatting while waiting, and after a while, there was a lot of footsteps on the stairs, and a middle-aged man with a square scarf walked up slowly. When he saw Zheng Hongda, he gave up his hand and said with a smile, "You Zheng Fat Man will talk about things if you have something, and you also said that you invited me to drink, I have already understood, which meal of wine I drank for nothing"

Zheng Hongda stood up and returned the salute, "But what happened brother, I let you do it in vain, your bookstore can still be maintained, I am indispensable, you have discussed some gossip with me here, and I haven't asked for your hard work yet." Then he pointed at Mao Yulong, "Come on, come on, today I will introduce you to a new friend, this is the famous prodigy Xiao Xiucai in Hangzhou." ”

There is no need to introduce the name, just this one title, let people know who this person is, and the boss of this bookstore hurriedly took advantage of the hand, "It's better to meet than to be famous, it's really a person like ice jade, it's really a good luck." ”

Mao Yulong humbly returned the salute, and also called Xinghui again and again.

Zheng Hongda beckoned the two of them to sit down, turned his head to Xiao Er and ordered, "Serve the food." Then he glanced at Mao Yulong, and ordered Xiao Er again, "Bring me and Boss Wang a bottle of spirits, and give Xiao Xiucai some mild rice wine." ”

Mao Yulong thanked his brother for his concern.

The wine and food came up like water, and in a blink of an eye, a table was full, which can be described as extremely rich, Xiao Er reported that the dishes were ready, and then bent down and stepped aside, waiting for the order to wait at any time.

Zheng Hongda stretched out his hand, "They are all their own brothers, the wine is thin and the vegetables are thin, just fill your stomach, let's eat." ”

In front of the brothers, if a very formal thing is said to be commonplace, the original constraints will be resolved, and the brothers will have no restraints when they are together, which is the real human practice. So, everyone was not polite, raised a glass together, touched it, and drank it dry in one gulp.
