Chapter 7 Abalone Soup

Zhan Xia Ge still used his privileges behind Yang Zhenbang's back, otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhan Xia Ge to take Yang Zhenbang, who was staggering when he walked, on the plane from Lhasa to Shanghai.

Shanghai, which is China's economic center, is China's most prosperous metropolis, and is China's reform and opening up, a cultural window facing the world and the most representative surname.

Of course, the skyscrapers here are one after another, of course, the traffic is busy, of course it is prosperous and prosperous, and of course, the beauty of steel and cement is brought to the limit. Living in this high-paced city that maximizes international standards, Zhan Xia Ge can clearly feel that everyone living here has a clockwork on their bodies far faster than that of mainland cities, and even their walking speed on the street is faster than others.

It is such a high-paced lifestyle, coupled with Shanghai's unique geographical advantages, that the city's economic train is getting faster and faster. When I arrived in Shanghai, Zhan Xia Ge's first feeling about this city was that it was very clean and tidy, everyone looked very well-dressed, and the language was very polite.

Standing in an international metropolis like Shanghai, with a population of tens of millions, looking at the light rail double-decker buses passing by, and looking at the carriages crowded like sardines, God knows which tendon Yang Zhenbang pulled, and he actually had the idea of squeezing the bus.

The "Oriental Pearl" TV Tower is located in Pudong District, Shanghai, started construction on July 30, 1991, and was completed after three years and three months, with a height of 468 meters, ranking first in Asia and the third tallest tower in the world when the construction was completed.

The designer fancifully connected eleven spheres of different sizes and heights from the blue sky to the green meadow, while two huge ruby-like spheres were held up high, creating the artistic conception of "big beads and small beads falling on jade plates".

Under the cover of night, the entire Oriental Pearl TV Tower is brightly lit, looking at the past from afar, it seems to be covered with a layer of the most brilliant golden light, and the fountains around it rise and fall, adding a hazy beauty to it. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is composed of three pillars with a diameter of nine meters, a tower base, a lower sphere and a space capsule, which is enough to shock the eyes of anyone who sees the tallest tower in Asia for the first time.

Holding the bank card dedicated to Principal Li Xiangshang in his hand, Zhan Xia Ge squandered it rarely, and took Yang Zhenbang to live in a four-star hotel, until Yang Zhenbang was put down and injected Yang Zhenbang with a medicine taken from Academician Sun Leijing, Zhan Xia Ge found that he didn't know when it started, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

After finding the phone number of the service desk in the service guide manual, Zhan Xia Ge grabbed the internal phone at the bedside and dialed the number of the service desk. Before he could speak, another series of proficient English came from the other end of the phone. Zhan Xia Ge frowned, and after a long time, he asked, "CanyousayChinesee?" (Can you use Chinese?) )

There was silence on the other side, and a series of rapid keystrokes could be heard over the phone, and after about twenty seconds, the young lady at the service desk said in a slightly apologetic voice: "Sorry, wedonothavechineseherethisperson!" (I'm sorry, we don't have a "Chinese" person here!) )

Zhan Xia Ge screamed in his heart, I don't have a "Chinese" person!!

"Smack!"

In a room on the twenty-seventh floor of this four-star hotel, there was a sudden crunch sound that only comes from a hard object breaking.

Yang Zhenbang looked at the battle song that "hung up" the phone in half when he hung up the phone, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing," replied Warrior Song, "it may be that I have been away from the barracks for too long, and my hands suddenly itch a little." ”

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows without closing the curtains, Zhan Xia Ge looked at the beautiful metropolis outside the window, where he didn't know how many opportunities and wealth were buried, and looked at this city with no night and no darkness in the colorful lights.

Facing Yang Zhenbang's scrutinizing gaze, Zhan Xia Ge casually threw away the service guide manual in his hand, pinched the sticky notes with the names of dishes such as "Gong Fried Chicken" and "Sweet and Sour Tenderloin" into a ball, and squeezed out a smile at Yang Zhenbang. When Zhan Xia Ge opened the menu, even though he knew that he was spending Principal Li Xiangshang's money, he had a ninety percent chance of defaulting on the bill in the future, but looking at the series of numbers behind each dish on the menu, Zhan Xia Ge, a country boy who had never seen the world, couldn't help but gasp.

But in the face of the smiling face, he stood beside them, bent down slightly, still holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, waiting for the waiter to order his meal, and then looked at Yang Zhenbang who was sitting opposite him with an unpredictable smile on his face, Zhan Xia Ge was really embarrassed to stand up and turn around and leave.

It was not until this time that Zhan Xia Ge finally understood what it meant to be "When I arrived in Yanjing, I knew that my official was too small, and when I arrived in Shanghai, I knew that I had too few banknotes in my pocket." ”

After ordering a few dishes, the question that Zhan Xia Ge thought in his heart was: "If I don't care too much about the problem of face, and I can carry Yang Zhenbang's eldest brother and run away, how much money can I save, and how many sets of school stationery can I buy for how many out-of-school children with this money?!" ”

Such a restaurant with an almost sky-high price, even half of the seats are visited by customers, which makes Zhan Xia Ge have to admire the wealth contained in the city of Shanghai and the high-income people she has cultivated. When the warrior singer instinctively walked around the entire restaurant, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the table in a corner of the restaurant.

It was a couple's table for two, and there was only one man sitting about fifty years old. He only wanted two dishes, asked for a bottle of red wine, which was not expensive, and sat there to pour himself a drink. The only reason why such a man attracts the attention of Zhan Xia Ge is the two-bar and four-star military uniform on his body, which represents the division-level rank. The man had a smile on his face and a smile in his eyes, and every time he grabbed a goblet full of red wine, he would always mumble something in his mouth, and he would occasionally reach out and touch the two-bar, four-star colonel on his shoulder. It seems that he should be a lucky guy who has just been promoted, turned off the drinking party of all his colleagues, and ran here alone to celebrate himself.

Judging from his quiet movements and the bookish aura that naturally swelled up all over his body, this is a civilian soldier. In any case, the promotion from colonel to colonel is a welcome thing. Watching the colonel smile as he brought the red wine to his mouth, and then let out a soft sigh of satisfaction, even the warrior song was happy for him.

Comparatively speaking, the group of people sitting across the table from the colonel seemed to be flying a lot. They were all wearing suits and silk shirts that were worth a lot of money at first glance, but in the process of pushing the glasses and changing the lamps, their ties, which pretended to be Sven, had been torn by them to an angle that only a rogue student would pull into, and they hugged each other left and right, and poured the wine juice into their stomachs in the light laughter of the almost bewitching girl.

On their tables, there were many famous wines such as Louis XIII and XO, and in the face of such a large customer, the hotel sent two waiters, one of whom was in charge of drinking, and the other was responsible for taking only one or two bites of these customers, and after the chef carefully prepared them, the dishes that could already be called works of art were removed, and the food on the plate that was a full foot and a half was carefully sandwiched into a small plate five inches wide.

Even so, the large dining table, which could accommodate twelve people at the same time, was still filled with large and small plates. The waiter in charge of serving the dishes, standing next to him with a tray in his hand, and the waiter in charge of changing the dishes, facing such a table with layers of bedding and almost nowhere to stay, still has a professional smile on his face, and carefully looks at the humane who seems to be the most powerful in this group of customers, and is sitting on the left and right to enjoy the blessings of the people: "Sir, you see that the table is full, can you let us remove some of the dishes that you no longer eat?" ”

"Good!"

The man who was probably the boss had obviously drunk too much, and while he was slapping the wine gap, he waved his hand and said, "You guys can withdraw as you like!" ”

At this time, the boss saw the colonel sitting near him, and also saw clearly that the colonel's table was too scarce and deserted compared to them, and the price grade was too different.

"It's a shame to pour it out!" The boss stretched out his hand and pointed to a piece of soup on the table that they had already drunk, and shouted: "Look at our comrades of the People's Liberation Army, how can you eat those two dishes for two cents and four cents?" Send him this abalone soup and let our PLA comrades taste the taste of abalone! With their drizzle-like wages, I'm afraid they won't be able to afford to eat such food for the rest of their lives, right?! ”

The waiter who was standing at the table, at this time, in the face of a request from a customer who had already drunk a little too much, he actually took the abalone soup and brought it to the colonel!

The colonel looked at the golden abalone soup in front of him with a price of 1,668 yuan on the menu, but it was obviously touched, he was probably too happy, he didn't even pay attention to everything happening next door, he looked at the waiter and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The waiter pointed to the table next door and said, "This is what the boss invited you to eat, eat, it's golden abalone soup!" ”

The waiter didn't know if he often ate this kind of food that had been removed from the table and had not been touched much, and there was really a hint of envy in his voice.

"Smack!"

In a corner of the restaurant, there was a sudden crisp sound, and blood slowly seeped out along the palm of Zhan Xia Ge. Yang Zhenbang looked at Zhan Xia Ge's palm, which was constantly bleeding blood, and Zhan Xia Ge's trembling eyes, which were already breathing fire, and said, "Don't move!" ”

The colonel's face was swollen and red, and he looked at the pot of bullshit golden abalone soup in front of him with trembling all over his body, and his lips trembled for a long time before he exclaimed violently: "The incorruptible still knows that he will not be eaten by the mouth, what are you and me?!" ”

The colonel pointed to the boss with a calm face, and at this time, he couldn't even speak in a clear voice, "You, you, you...... Why do you look down on people?! ”

Talking, talking, this civilian-born soldier, this soldier with two bars and four stars on his shoulders, this soldier who may represent authority and glory in the field of military industry, and has the treatment of a full division, his eyes are already red, and he exclaims: "I'm not called Hanako!" ”

"Go!"

Zhan Xia Ge clenched his fist tightly, letting his hot blood, dripping out of the wound in his palm, he screamed in his heart: "What nonsense, come on!" Go up and raise your fists and smack them up these bastard sons bastards! As long as you dare to be the first to make a move, even if it is fucking intolerable, gambling on the honor of a soldier, even if you are really going to be sent to the execution ground, I will break the bones of each and every one of them into pieces for you! ”

Yang Zhenbang stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the arm of Zhan Xia Ge across the table, they are all heroes who have been reincarnated in life and death several times on the battlefield, Yang Zhenbang can clearly feel that at this moment, Zhan Xia Ge has reached the edge of outbreak. After walking through Motuo, getting to know Motuo, returning to the world, and coming to the metropolis of Shanghai, facing this scene and facing that pot of abalone soup, once Zhan Xia Ge went crazy, he really dared to burn and blow up this restaurant that was piled up with an unknown amount of RMB, becoming the biggest terrorist in the history of the Fifth Special Force!

But after all, the colonel was only a civilian soldier, and in the face of a group of unashamed successful people in the shopping mall, and in the face of a few waiters who really brought the abalone soup that others had eaten to him, the most angry words he could shout to represent himself was: "Call your manager out!" ”

The manager on duty heard the quarrel here and walked over quickly, his eyes quickly swept the scene, like him, a professional manager with strict professional training, superhuman vision and means to deal with extraordinary events, at this moment, his eyes involuntarily fell on a man who was sitting quietly in the restaurant, and he didn't know why his arm was still pressed by another companion. That man gave him the feeling that it was like a volcano that was accumulating strength and was on the verge of erupting!

It only took one minute for the manager on duty to figure out what was going on, and made a decision on the spot: "The waiter who brought the abalone soup to the colonel's table was dismissed immediately, and in order to express his apologies to the colonel, he was exempted from the cost of this meal, and the restaurant will remake all the dishes that appeared on the boss's table, and the colonel will be asked to taste it for free!" ”

When he said such a decision, the manager on duty suddenly felt a lightness on his body, and he couldn't help but exhale a long breath, and it was only at this time that he suddenly found that the shirt behind his back had been soaked with sweat. His intuition told him that a danger that could make him regret it for the rest of his life was gone.

The reason, I don't know!

Sources of danger...... The manager on duty didn't want to think about it, let alone guess, he only knew that the person who could give him this kind of pressure was definitely not the person he should provoke or judge!

The Colonel sat alone at a table piled high with all kinds of exquisite dishes, and behind him, there were also two waiters, one of whom was also responsible for pouring wine, and the other was responsible for replacing the plate that was a foot and a half wide with a small plate that was only five inches wide. But the colonel just sat there quietly, staring coldly at the food carefully prepared by the special chef in front of him.

Although he is only a civilian soldier, although he is not good at venting the anger in his heart with his fists, but in this colonel, there is still the arrogance of a soldier!

Zhan Xia Ge slowly stood up, he first shook his head at Yang Zhenbang, and then walked in front of the colonel, because he was wearing civilian clothes, Zhan Xia Ge did not salute the colonel, "There are a lot of dishes here, can you invite me to eat together?" ”

The colonel looked at Zhan Xia Ge, and Zhan Xia Ge also looked back at the colonel quietly, although the two people came from different places, the training they received, and their attitudes towards life were absolutely different, but the term "soldier" was enough to link them together, so that they could find the same kind of intimacy in looking at each other.

The colonel nodded slightly, and Zhan Xia Ge sat down in front of him, but Zhan Xia Ge, who opened his mouth to ask to share the dishes, turned out to be the same as the colonel, facing the table full of dishes, and closed his mouth. It wasn't until the golden abalone soup was delivered to the table that the warrior song finally started.

Zhan Xia Ge stretched out his left hand, he pinched a soup spoon, and put the pure gold abalone soup into his mouth, and then he spit the abalone soup into the bowl with a "bah" sound in front of everyone. Grabbing a bottle of XO on the table, Zhan Xia Ge raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth like a whale sucking a cow, he rinsed his mouth vigorously, and then spit the "mouthwash" into the golden abalone.

Zhan Xia Ge looked at the waiter who had been announced by the manager on duty on the spot, but had not officially left the job, his face was pale and full of annoyance, and he said in a flat tone: "Hey, bring this golden abalone soup that pigs can drink, and bring it over!" ”

The direction pointed by the warrior singer is the boss!

Everyone was stunned, Zhan Xia Ge glanced at the waiter who was cowering and embarrassed with disdainful eyes, he simply stretched out his left hand, picked up the golden abalone soup and walked to the table next door, and the people sitting there all looked at him with blue faces. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" Why are you reaching out to take care of this?! ”

"You don't care who I am, you just need to open my eyes to see clearly who he is!"

"I don't need you to know his name, but you have shown me that he is a colonel, a colonel with the rank of a full teacher! A colonel with the national coat of arms on his head! Let me tell you, when you brought that bullshit abalone soup to him, you had insulted tens of millions of Chinese soldiers who had been, were, and would still be in the barracks and carried steel guns! ”

Zhan Xia Ge stared at the colonel who had been wronged and could face it coldly, but now his eyes were already full of crystal tears, and shouted loudly: "Remember, the next time you encounter this situation, don't be afraid of your own weak strength, let alone talk about the face of the Sven people, and call the manager on duty." Jump up and use all your strength to punch these fat pigs in the face! ”

When Zhan Xia Ge finally returned to his table with a straight face, the dishes on their table were already cold, and Yang Zhenbang never picked up the chopsticks, just looked at him with a smile, and Zhan Xia Ge slapped the table hard, startling everyone again, and shouted: "Pay the bill!" ”

As the waiter handed over the bill, the warrior sang, "Oh, by the way, I accidentally broke one of your spoons just now, let's count it into my account together." ”

Facing the waiter's incredulous eyes, Zhan Xia Ge slowly opened his right hand, and in the palm of his right hand, in the blur of flesh and blood, there was a handful of ...... that he had pinched into pieces Spoon. In front of everyone, Zhan Xia Ge silently picked up Brother Yang Zhenbang, dropped the money paid for this dinner, and left the restaurant.

Standing on the bustling streets of Shanghai, a world-class metropolis, Zhan Xia Ge took a deep breath of the slightly plant-scented air, and suddenly said, "Brother Yang, can you accompany me to drink?" I suddenly want to drink now! ”

When the waiter in front of the bar saw Zhan Xia Ge walking over with Yang Zhenbang on his back, he really wanted to tell Zhan Xia Ge that the destination they should go to now was the hospital, not this kind of place.

The high-purity liquor was put in front of Zhan Xia Ge, and a small half bottle of mineral water was poured into Yang Zhenbang's cup.

"Brother Yang, I respect you! One cup of you, one cup of me, done! ”

As soon as he craned his neck, he poured the fifty-two degrees of liquor in front of him into his stomach. Yang Zhenbang shook his head with a wry smile, seeing the upside-down wine glass of Zhan Xia Ge, he could only pick up the glass of mineral water in front of him, tilt his neck and pour it all into his stomach, and then watched Zhan Xia Ge pour himself drinks there, while he himself grabbed the snacks on the table and filled his stomach that was already hungry and "cooing".

The amount of alcohol in the battle hero song was not very good, and after drinking a few large glasses of blended spirits on an empty stomach, his eyes as sharp as a falcon already revealed a little drunkenness. Zhan Xia Ge squinted at the young girls sitting at the bar, looking at their faces to the Chinese men who were courteous to the surroundings, with disdainful arrogance, but sticking to a few blonde and blue-eyed foreign guests, even if they were molested, they still had a smile on their faces that could be called tolerance, Zhan Xia Ge stared, patted the table and shouted: "I don't believe it, I can't soak a girl here!" ”
