"Okay."

I nodded, extinguished my cigarette and followed the landlord to his hotel with Kong Xue.

This is a two-story restaurant, the building is quite tall and splendid, and after the landlord walked in, he arranged me and me Kong Xue in a VIP private room.

"Wait here, and I'll command the kitchen."

The landlord turned to leave, and I looked at Kong Xue, who had been silent, and asked, "Kong Xue, do you have any plans next?" ”

"No, I'm going to rest first, I'm looking at other opportunities, I'm tired enough for a while." Kong Xue took a cup of hot tea, took a sip and said.

"That'll do fine."

Kong Xue and I waited for an hour, and it was almost noon.

During this hour, the outside cook kept serving the food outside, and in a moment the landlord sat down with a bottle of good wine.

"Brother, brother, there is no good wine, precious Moutai, our brothers drank it today."

With that, the landlord picked up the cup and poured me half a cup, and after sitting down, we ate and chatted.

"I said Uncle Zhang, this house has been demolished, how much are you going to compensate?"

I didn't talk nonsense with him, and said straight to the point.

Landlord Zhang smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine and said, "Big brother, what about compensation, I will give you a lot of money, but I have a favor I want to ask you for help, you see ......"

Before Landlord Zhang finished speaking, Kong Xue spoke: "Uncle Zhang, we can take a little less money, but we may not be able to help with this favor." ”

"Oh, Xiaoxue, come on, come on, try our shrimp."

Landlord Zhang picked up the shrimp and put it in Kong Xue's bowl, sat down and said: "I, in fact, it's nothing, it's that day, the woman who drove a Land Rover at the door, I know her, I always watched her live broadcast before, and I am also her fan, but in the past six months, she has stopped broadcasting, I heard on the Internet that she is sick, and I haven't continued to pay attention to her, isn't this encountered, you see that my hotel business is not good, I wonder if I can let her come over to help open a live broadcast to do publicity." ”

As he spoke, Landlord Zhang handed me a cigarette.

I picked up the cigarette and lit it, thought about it and refused: "Uncle Zhang, don't you know, Song Yi has been sick for half a year, cancer, and has been living in the hospital, so you said that she should help start a live broadcast, but it hasn't been broadcast for half a year, and people are still sick, isn't it a little inappropriate?" ”

Landlord Zhang was a little surprised, raised his wine glass and touched it with me and said: "That's it, oops, I really don't know, I left a lot of words for her video platform number, and Weibo, but there was no reply." ”

After speaking, Landlord Zhang sighed deeply, looked at the scattered guests outside and continued to say: "I, the reason why I said to give you 60,000 yuan before is completely because my business here is not good, since I closed that store, I have invested all my money in this restaurant, when you came, you must have seen that my restaurant is big in this radius, but I don't know why, it is that there are not many customers in nobody." ”

Kong Xue turned her head to take a look, picked up the chopsticks and tasted other dishes before saying, "Uncle Zhang, you're not from the Central Plains, are you?" ”

Landlord Zhang was stunned for a moment, looked at Kong Xue and smiled: "You are really good eyesight, I, I am really not from the Central Plains, I am from the south, I came to this place to work at the age of eighteen, and then started a business, what, do you think I am not in line with the taste of the Central Plains?" ”

Kong Xue looked at me and gestured, "You taste it." ”

I was stunned, frowned, picked up chopsticks, ate a few dishes, and tasted carefully, only to find that the taste was a little sweet.

"Uncle Zhang, I heard that you did barbecue before?" I asked.

"That's right, from the beginning of lamb skewers, to the end of skewers, flatbreads, and cakes, I have been doing this for more than ten years."

"No wonder." I said.

I sang and sang with Kong Xue and made Uncle Zhang very confused, he picked up the cup and drank it all and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't go around the bend with me, just tell me directly, is this dish not to your taste?" ”

"Uncle Zhang, then I have something to say, although you have come to the Central Plains, Zheng Zhong has been more than ten years, but the barbecue you have done for more than ten years, for the barbecue, you may be very sure, but for the dishes that we Central Plains people like to eat, I think you are still a little hot, I didn't find it after I ate a few bites at first, but after I tasted it, I felt that your dish was a little sweet and light, and we Central Plains people are neither like the heavy taste of the northerners, nor as light as the southerners, our taste is not salty or light, and must have a taste."

After speaking, Landlord Zhang frowned and ate a few bites, tasted it carefully and was surprised: "Yo, don't say it, it's really a little sweet, at the beginning, I think I have lived in the Central Plains for more than ten years, thinking that I should find your taste, after all, I have also eaten stewed noodles for more than ten years, and I have drunk Hu spicy soup for more than ten years, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this is still almost strong." ”

"That's not it, if you want to say that we like light flavors, the spicy soup in the morning, after drinking it, there is a refreshing feeling, if you want to say that we have a heavy taste, the clear soup noodles we eat at noon, so ah, in eating, we are really particular."

After speaking, Landlord Zhang picked up the wine glass: "Come on, big brother, let's touch one." ”

"That big brother, do you know our local chef, don't ask to be able to cook, it's the kind that can stir-fry a home-cooked food, can you please come over and ask him to help me and adjust this taste to the most suitable place?"

"I, I really know one, if it's enough, then I'll call him over another day to help you."

"Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much."

Landlord Zhang poured a full bottle of wine and touched it with me and drank it all, then sat down and said: "But I won't hide it from you, I, I still hope that Anchor Song can help us, brother, see if you can talk to her about this matter, as for whether she can help or not, I don't force it, because we really have no one, don't worry, money, I will definitely be indispensable to you." ”

After speaking, the landlord took out a bank card from his pocket and said: "This is still that kind of card, but there are 40,000 more in it, a total of 110,000, I don't want any points, I just hope to help me make this hotel, now you say how exciting this short video is, this live broadcast publicity effect must be good." ”

Seeing Landlord Zhang's sincere appearance, I frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try." ”
