Chapter 246: Hot Pot
In a Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant, the environment is elegant, customers are scarce, and the air is filled with a faint smell of meat, and the four of us sit near the window, and a piano song is playing in the restaurant, like an autumn whisper, like the mark of rain.
On the background wall of the bar, there is a picture of the history of Sichuan-style hot pot, where a girl in her twenties is standing, frowning and calculating accounts.
The table is full of delicacies, such as abalone, lamb rolls, beef rolls, Antarctic ice shrimp, all kinds of fish balls and meatballs, etc.
Vegetables include lettuce, cabbage, tea tree mushrooms, lotus root slices, cauliflower, endive and so on.
The soup base is different, Brother Slag and I prefer spicy, Qin Xiaolan and Qin Tong prefer light, the waiter brings up a mandarin duck copper pot, red and white, like a Tai Chi pattern, when the soup boils, pour the ingredients into the pot, and cook it.
XO wine, among brandies, is the top and the best, as well as VSOP, VS, VO level, I, Brother Scumbag and Qin Li, each has a bottle, as a beer drink, but regardless of the high price, Qin Xiaolan is holding a cup of milk tea and sipping it silently.
"Brother, I feel like we're a bit like nouveau riche, I heard that XO wine has a taste with Cantonese roast goose, how can we have hot pot."
Qin Yan pinched the wine bottle, raised his head and poured it violently.
I stirred the boiling soup with chopsticks, and said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the nouveau riche, in my opinion, you can eat hot pot and drink any kind of wine." ”
Brother scumbag snorted, no squeak, Qin Xiaolan leaned on the back of the chair, she had no appetite at all, she glanced at me and said, "Drink and drink, you know to drink, Xinyan let you drink away." ”
After Qin Yan heard this, he said in a weird way: "It was the little lady who posted it upside down, hey, why don't I have this good luck." ”
"What? Do you mean that Xue Yao is not worthy of you? ”
Brother Scumbag stared at him coldly.
"I didn't say it, I mean, what's good about him, that girl still sticks to a cold ass with a hot face, and if it's me, I will not waver."
Qin Yan swore that his thin face had become ruddy and shiny, and the messy hairstyle before was also quite pleasing to the eye after a little care.
Qin Xiaolan said stupidly: "Fart, men are animals that think with their lower bodies, I don't believe that there are a few who will sit still, you haven't met a better girl than Xue Yao, well, when Xue Yao is mentioned, I feel sorry for her." ”
"Miss Qin, let's talk about it or have the same surname, don't spray gunpowder on me if you eat gunpowder in your mouth, it's inexplicable."
After saying that, he poured two more mouthfuls of XO.
I kicked him under the table and said, "Don't drink too much, we'll have to make a price list when we go back." ”
"You invite me to drink, don't let me drink too much, and let me work overtime, what's the reason?"
Qin Yan burped and looked at me directly.
Qin Xiaolan sighed, put down the milk tea cup in his hand and said, "Then if you are tired, you can change jobs." ”
"If you don't change it, you won't change it, Boss Wang has promised to pay me the down payment for the house, and I can't leave with my pick."
"Profiteering."
Qin Xiaolan smiled as he ate.
Brother I and I drank a lot of wine, and when we drank a bottle of XO, we didn't feel much drunk, but Qin Li's cheeks were red and his eyebrows were dancing, and he was very happy.
I asked for another dozen beers and a few vegetarian dishes, it was still early, and I had nothing to do when I went back, so I opened up the amount and drank a few glasses with Brother Scumbag and Qin Yi to relieve the pain of recent fatigue.
Across the table, a man and a woman, aged about twenty-five, sat like a couple, but from their words and demeanor, they looked more like a pair of enemies who drew swords against each other.
The boy was tall, sturdy, with a lewd face, his already thinning hair was dyed snow-white, he was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, a pair of beige cropped pants on his lower body, and a pair of gray round scalp shoes on his feet.
The girl is frightened, her eyes are big and blank, her face is delicate, the fly in the ointment is that her right eye socket, there are obvious bruises, the red, swollen and purple eye sockets, under the light, actually look a little frightened, bangs cover half of the eyes, slight shaking, you can see the looming wound.
The boy held a cigarette in his mouth, shook Erlang's legs, bared a mouthful of yellow teeth, grabbed the girl's hair from time to time, pulled hard, or slapped her a few times, the sound was crisp, and it made people more and more annoyed.
"Fuck, your family wants a gift, and you happily agree, you don't know how much stinky money I have? Since your old immortal parents still dare to object, it's really something that you don't want to face. ”
The boy opened his voice and shouted so loudly that the girl cowered in her chair and held her breath.
The boy grew arrogant again.
"What the is it, and you still ask me for financial gifts, have you ever been with me in the future, or have you ever been with financial gifts? Yes? ”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, he stood up, grabbed the girl's hair, clenched his fists, aimed them at her face, and punched her hard.
The girl slumped in her chair, her hands over her face, choking in pain.
"It's fucking, bullying the girl, see if I don't kill him."
Qin Yan staggered to his feet, and was held down by the scumbag brother: "Sit down." ”
Qin Xiaolan chewed on the squid shreds, and after watching this unjust scene, he actually stood up and scolded loudly: "Hey, grandson turtle, what kind of ability do you have to beat women?" ”
I tugged at the corner of her clothes and signaled her not to meddle in her affairs, this is a lesson in blood, in the past, I used to be angry when I encountered injustices, but now, I just want to have a hot pot in peace, and I don't want to get involved too much in the quarrel that has nothing to do with myself.
But I was curious about the girl, who was beaten and suffered, and from beginning to end, she didn't say a word of rebuttal, just cowered in her chair, secretly wept, and choked softly.
When the boy heard Qin Xiaolan's scolding, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do I have to do with educating my mother-in-law?" ”
Qin Xiaolan slammed half of the squid silk on the table, pinched his waist and said: "This is a society under the rule of law, you can't beat people indiscriminately, if you are not afraid of squatting in prison, you just need to educate." ”
"Fuck, you're wide enough, I'm going to beat her today, what can you do?"
After speaking, he pulled the girl's hair again, and scolded angrily: "She is a mute, she can't even fart, I can marry her, since her parents care about me for financial gifts, you say, should she be beaten?" ”
"Isn't a dumb person human?"
Brother Scumbag slapped the table heavily, and his sharp eyes flashed two terrifying and fierce lights.
It turned out that the girl was deaf and mute, and I felt sorry for her to be able to get along with such scum.
The boy kicked the girl in the stomach, only to hear a bang, the girl fell under the dining table, the soup bowl on the table fell, the pale yellow soup splashed on the girl's clothes, and the frightened girl screamed.
The waiter came to dissuade her, but to no avail, and finally, the manager of the hot pot restaurant came in a hurry, she was a young woman about thirty years old, and after glancing at the girl who was sobbing under the table, she pointed to the door of the restaurant and said, "Get out, or I'll call the police." ”
"Fuck, don't scare me with the police, Lao Tzu has been out there all these years, who doesn't know? Today I'm going to reason with these nosy people. ”
He glared at the scumbag brother viciously, as if this turmoil was provoked by us.
Brother Scumbag stood up and lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll have a good theory with you." ”
With that, he walked over leisurely.
I was secretly worried in my heart, that man was tall and strong, and the scum brother must not be his opponent.
I glanced at Qin Xiaolan, her cheeks were already flushed, her body trembled, I looked at her and said, "Xiaolan, call the police." ”
Qin Xiaolan came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and called the police.
I poured two more sips of beer and walked over drunken after the scumbag.
"What's the matter? Want to hit me? Hmph, come on, hit, hit me. ”
He shook his white hair, provoking the scumbag's patience.
Brother Scumbag spread his hands, and after sneering, before I could react, he grabbed the boy's hair with one hand, pinched half of the cigarette with the other, and pressed it directly on the corner of the boy's mouth.
"Squeak..."
Red fireworks embedded in his flesh, sending up wisps of green smoke, and the boy let out a pig-killing howl.
"I'll be your whole family."
He kicked on Brother Scumbag's knee, stepped forward again, raised his fist, and knocked Brother Scumbag to the ground directly.
His height is about the same as mine, around 183, but the size difference is very large, I belong to the thin and thin type, but he is a muscular, infinite strength, if it is simply hard, I will be beaten badly.
Brother Scumbag struggled to get up, and he sneered: "Damn, it's quite resistant to beating, try this." ”
He gathered his strength and planned to knock the scumbag to the ground, but I didn't give him this chance.
"Hey."
I let out a low roar, picked up the beer bottle from the table, and slammed it into his forehead the second he turned around.
"Phew..."
Since the bottle was not broken, he cried wolf, and covered his bleeding head with both hands.
I frowned, broke his hand, grabbed the bottle tightly, aimed it at his forehead, and smashed it down again.
"Whoa..."
The bottle shattered, the glass shards hung on his white hair, the red blood soaked his cheeks, he was powerless to fight back, but cursed incessantly, his massive body like a deflated ball, slumped in his seat, brushing the glittering crumbs of his hair.
"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to theorize? Come on, stand up. ”
I threw away half of the bottle in my hand, raised my foot and kicked him in the stomach, only to hear a thud, and he fell to the ground, still swearing, as if he was surprised by the sudden reversal.
The deaf and dumb girl came crying, she grabbed my arm, shook her head desperately, and the blue and purple cheeks made me worry more and more.
"Get out of the way, such a scumbag, why are you still protecting him?"
I roared, pushed the girl aside, and kicked the boy in the face dozens of times.
The crowd pulled me away and persuaded me, "I'm disfigured if I'm beating." ”
"Disfigured? Hehe, his face, disfigured is saving him. ”
I smiled coldly.
The police came, and pressed the troublemakers into the police car, of course, including me and Brother Scum, Qin Li's eyes widened, full of fear of what happened in front of him, he and Qin Xiaolan also came to the police station with the two of us, and there was the testimony of the owner of the hot pot restaurant, and the matter was quickly dealt with.
I was fined 1,000 yuan, and the boy's medical expenses reimbursed me for another 2,000, I was really angry, but the people were indeed injured by me, and I heard that the head had been beaten to the bone, which relieved my boredom.
