The autumn solstice has not yet arrived.

Although autumn had begun on August 8, 2002, the weather had not cooled down. Although the sun is not hot, the temperature is still around 20 degrees, which is quite comfortable.

In a large box on the second floor of the Left Bank Western Restaurant, everyone is celebrating the beginning of Su Wenqi's new year. The cake is served in the center of the table. People gathered in a circle, turned off the lights, made wishes, and blew out candles, Su Wenqi wore a princess crown on her head, and her little face was red. Her parents went abroad for some things and couldn't accompany her for her birthday. His younger brother Su Zhi was going to participate in a junior high school math competition, and he didn't have time to come. However, with so many friends with her, she felt that this sixteenth birthday was not a shortcoming. Especially when he saw Lin Ming's arrival, he was in a surprisingly good mood, and he was even more comfortable when he thought of what he was going to say to him later.

When Su Wenqi blew out the candle, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Everyone started singing Happy Birthday. After the end, all the lights were turned on, and under the dim warm light, Su Wenqi was as beautiful as an elf.

Several waiters came in under the leadership of the restaurant manager, who first wished the eldest lady a happy birthday and waved his hand for the waiter to deliver the things. Expensive red wine and Western food were a novelty in those days, and everyone stared curiously at those plates, wondering what was inside.

Without making everyone wait too long, the lid was lifted, and everyone had a large Australian prawn, as well as a variety of steaks, grilled wings, and dim sum, everything was extremely luxurious.

"Wow, that's a big lobster." A dry girl couldn't help but exclaim. Although Su Wenqi's family is well-off, her friends are all ordinary families, not to mention such Australian prawns, she may not have even eaten Western food.

Only Lin Ming and the young man on the locomotive were quite calm, Lin Ming had eaten this thing in his previous life, more than 5,000 of them, a big boss invited a guest, he felt that the taste was average, and he didn't like it very much. Since that young man can afford to give away a diamond necklace of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and his family is not a poor man, he naturally doesn't care about this.

He tried his best to curry favor with Su Wenqi at the banquet, and said: "This is called Australian rock lobster, it is very valuable, some can grow to five or six pounds, it should be rare in Cloud City, it needs to be flown from Australia, and the cost of one light is five or six hundred." ”

"So expensive?" Cao Yingwu was surprised: "If you sell it, won't it cost seven or eight hundred?" ”

The young man glanced at him with disdain and said, "Tu Baozi, you can only buy one shrimp head for a thousand, and these lobsters are generally more than 3 catties, at least 2,000 each." It's not that the rich can't afford to eat at all, don't you count the cost of catering venues and manual production costs? ”

Cao Yingwu blushed and couldn't speak, he was a student alone, where did he understand the market economy. And poverty limits his imagination, most of the people here are from average families, and the devil knows what life is like for the rich.

Hearing the young man say that there are 2,000 lobsters, everyone looked at each other. The average student's living expenses are less than 2,000 a year, and for them, 50 yuan is a lot of wealth.

Gao Gao secretly said to Su Wenqi: "Bao'er, it's too expensive." Just eat whatever you want, you don't need to be so exaggerated. ”

Su Wenqi glared at the young man, she invited her friends to eat from the family restaurant, but not to show off. Su Wenqi in life is actually a very low-key person, if she is willing to show off her wealth, a few sports cars at home and driving to school are much more popular than this. So the fawning of young people is actually counterproductive. She saw that many people's eyes had changed a lot when they looked at her, and she felt very uncomfortable. People are like that, when you realize that the gap between yourself and your friends is so different, it is difficult for you to treat yourself as a true friend. Some people will become deliberately pleasing people, while others will gradually drift away for fear that people will misunderstand that they are friends for money.

So Su Wenqi's mood was a lot worse all of a sudden, and she regretted that she came from the restaurant to eat this birthday party for convenience. She looked around at her friends uneasily, some of them looked unhappy, some lowered their heads and didn't speak, and some looked at her with a sneer, which made Su Wenqi feel overwhelmed.

The atmosphere became a little silent and awkward.

"Huh."

A chuckle broke the strange atmosphere, and everyone saw that it was Lin Ming. He smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, the Australian rock lobster has a fiery red body and golden yellow claws." You see, these lobsters are brown all over, and their claws are black and red, which is the color change caused by the change in the living environment after being introduced into China, so these lobsters are actually domestically farmed. In the seafood market, forty or fifty yuan a catty, every household can afford to eat. How can there be two thousand yuan a lot. Qiqi's family opened a Western restaurant, even if it was to entertain classmates, eating hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time, it was not like this. Don't worry. ”

Listening to his words, many people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Someone even said: "It turns out that this shrimp costs 100 yuan a piece, and I thought that the sky-high price of more than 2,000 yuan scared me so much that I didn't dare to use chopsticks." ”

Everyone's faces were much more relaxed.

The young man on the locomotive said angrily: "What do you mean by this, you mean that Qiqi's restaurant sells domestic goods?" You don't know the color of Australian rock lobster after cooking......"

He still has to speak, and he argues with reason.

Su Wenqi interrupted him abruptly and said, "Lan Jian, don't talk a little and no one will treat you as a dumb person." Our restaurant has never sold imported Australian lobsters, these are domestically farmed, and even if they are sold, they are all 288 yuan a piece. If you don't know how to do it, don't talk, okay. ”

"But I came to ...... the other day"

"Miss is not wrong, our menu is all domestic farmed lobsters for 288 yuan."

The lobby manager explained: "Although it is sold for 288 yuan, the cost is actually only a few dozen yuan. Everyone can eat with confidence, it is not a precious thing. ”

"I said, no matter how rich the Qiqi family is, it is impossible to invite us to eat something for 2,000 yuan."

"yes. I heard that Kiki's family opened this restaurant, and the family is not bad. But if you don't invite us to eat hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time, then their restaurant won't be open. ”

"The man named Lan Jian thought he was humorous just now, but I didn't expect him to brag so much."

"I guess he just wanted to show off, and by the way, to please Kiki, but I didn't expect to slap the horse's leg on the horse's leg. Kiki isn't the kind of person who likes to show off. ”

Everyone was whispering below, and this time it was the turn of the young man named Lan Jian who blushed. He didn't know that Su Wenqi's personality was actually quite civilian, and she was usually crazy like a female man, and she didn't like to show off outside, because it would make her fewer friends.

Whoever makes her friends less will not be his friends anymore. Someone once asked Su Wenqi what his family did, and Su Wenqi only vaguely replied to open a restaurant, as for Su Hongjun's real building materials leader, she has never publicized it to the public.

Such a girl has a very likable personality, is very arrogant, and will not play any tricks.

If you get to know the temperament and personality of this kind of girl, you will find that she is quite easy to get along with. Perhaps it is precisely because she has lived in the admiration of thousands of people since she was a child that she will cherish the time when she is treated equally with her friends more.

Su Wenqi looked at Lan Jian with an expressionless face, and then beckoned everyone: "You're welcome, everyone eats." In the evening, we went to sing again and had a good time. ”

Lan Jian's face was blue and red, in addition to being ashamed, he naturally couldn't understand why Su Wenqi had to say that 2,000 lobsters were 288. He has come to this restaurant several times to eat, all of them are more than 2,000 pieces, how did it become 288 yuan today. He was even thinking that Su Wenqi's house was a black shop, using domestically farmed ones to pretend to be imported? But it's not right, Lan Jian once traveled to a foreign country with his parents, and ate Australian prawns from abroad, and there was no difference in appearance, and the restaurant's publicity also said that it was imported. The two contradictory ones, he couldn't think of a reason. But these are not the point, the point is that Su Wenqi's attitude towards him has become cold.

When he thought that the person he liked suddenly became indifferent because of his words, Lan Jian felt very uncomfortable in his heart. I thought that the young man only gave a set of books before, which made Su Wenqi feel happy. And she gave her an expensive necklace, but she didn't have the slightest joy, which made Lan Jian's mood not complicated.

Could it be that Su Wenqi likes that teenager?

Lan Jian glared at the young man named Lin Ming fiercely, already hating him in his heart.

Su Wenqi moved the chopsticks first, Lin Ming smiled, and said in his heart, I will have 2,000 prawns in 2002, so it's good to try it.

Of course, this lobster is not only 288 yuan, but 2888 yuan is about the same. It's just that Lin Ming saw that as Lan Jian boasted more to Su Wenqi, Su Wenqi's face darkened. Looking at everyone's appearance again, Lin Ming, who has high emotional intelligence, knows the reason. This is only said to be domestic, in fact, even if it is domestic, there is more than 288.

But everyone didn't know that except for Blue Sword, everyone ate happily. People exchanged glasses, and a few boys were drunk, and they went to salute Su Wenqi with red faces. Su Wenqi didn't refuse, and soon his face was flushed with alcohol, and his face was remarkable.

Fortunately, Zou Jie and Gao Gao helped her block the wine, otherwise she would have to get drunk on the table before the meal was finished.

Lin Ming and Cao Yingwu sat together, and they also drank a few glasses of red wine, unlike the drinking power practiced in later generations, after only a few glasses, his face was a little flushed, and he leaned on the stool and felt dizzy. Behind Su Wenqi was a balcony, Lin Ming took a glass of wine, stood up and walked over.

Walking to the balcony, a fresh breeze from the Yanghe River whistled by, blowing him to the bottom of his mind. The left bank western restaurant is located on the left bank of the Yang River, through the balcony, you can see the rushing Yang River, the distance is the green mountain, the scenery is beautiful like a landscape painting.

With his hands on the railing of the balcony, Lin Ming looked at the high-rise buildings on the other side of the river. It was already past 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky was gradually darkening, and the sun was setting, and a large beautiful volcanic cloud could be seen in the distance.

"What are you thinking?"

Su Wenqi walked to the balcony.

Lin Ming looked at the sky with his eyes and said, "Don't you think Xia Cai is beautiful?" I only look at this every day to feel that life is actually very beautiful. ”
