Chapter 021: Mystery Restaurant

I followed Li Qing and his party, turned a few small alleys, and came to a living quarter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Li Qing pointed to a small restaurant not far away and said with a smile: "We arrived, this is it." ”

Looking at the inconspicuous little faΓ§ade, I really couldn't imagine that such a small restaurant would make the three of them so touted.

Li Qing seemed to see the confusion in my eyes and then said: "Don't look at this restaurant is small, but I dare to say that the taste is the best in the entire D city, even the chef in the hotel may not be able to cook such fragrant dishes, and he can't sit at all during the day, and only at night will there be a little less, okay, I won't tell you so much, you will know when you go and eat it in a while." ”

With that, the three of them quickened their pace, as if the small restaurant had magical powers.

After listening to Li Qing's boasting again, I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart, so I followed closely.

"Yo, Team Li, have you solved the case again? Come on, sit inside. A sturdy middle-aged man welcomed us into the restaurant. The restaurant is not big, only a few tables, but it is very clean.

"Brother Zhang, why is business so bad today?" Li Qing joked while pulling a chair.

The middle-aged man sighed, and then forced out a smile and said, "Let's have a few drinks in a while, brother, I have a stomach full of bitter water, by the way, how old are you today?" ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded, and the middle-aged man went directly into the back kitchen. At this time, Yue Long said in a low voice: "Team Li, look at Lao Zhang, something is wrong today." ”

Huan Zi on the side skillfully lifted the kettle from behind the cash register, and said while pouring water: "Yes, it's really cold today." ”

Li Qing smiled as always and said, "Okay, don't guess here, just ask if you want to eat after a while." ”

While waiting for the dishes, Yue Long seemed to be very excited, and kept talking about his glorious past. During the period, I also asked me if I wanted to learn some feng shui secret techniques, but as long as Yue Long mentioned the secret techniques of feng shui, Huan Zi couldn't listen to it, and began to raise the bar with him, and finally the two of them actually rushed to teach me, which also made me speechless, so I had to laugh helplessly. It wasn't until I watched Brother Zhang come out of the back kitchen with the dishes in their mouths that I was relieved.

"Come on, Brother Zhang, sit down and have a few drinks together." Li Qing got up enthusiastically and pulled out a chair. Brother Zhang was not polite, he sat down and said very boldly: "Today, I will invite a few brothers to drink, it is enough!" ”

"Who is this?" The middle-aged man sat down and asked with a smile when he saw me sitting against the wall.

Li Qing patted me on the shoulder and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This is a new guy, called Tong Yu, just call Xiao Tong in the future." ”

Then the middle-aged man raised a glass of beer, and I quickly picked up the glass. The middle-aged man smiled: "My name is Zhang Dongning, just call me Brother Zhang in the future." With that, he tilted his head and drained the wine, and I quickly raised my glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Come, try my craft." Brother Zhang said as he motioned for us to move our chopsticks.

I picked up a piece of braised pork, not to mention, it tasted really good.

Li Qing poured wine for Brother Zhang and asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't see that your business is very good today." ”

Brother Zhang raised his wine glass and drank it all, then sighed and said, "Hey, yes, since the restaurant opposite opened, my store has no business." You're here to open today, hey. ”

Li Qingyue and Long Huanzi looked incredible, and then Yue Long hurriedly said: "No, Brother Zhang, since the first day I joined the police force, our store was not full on any day, how could this be?" As soon as these words came out, Huan Zi also nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Zhang, our craftsmanship, this taste, I don't believe that the one opposite is better than Brother Zhang's craftsmanship." ”

Brother Zhang smiled bitterly and sighed slowly and said, "Hey, it's going to be closed next month, there has been no business, and it's not interesting to spend it, so it's better to engage in other ways." ”

As soon as these words came out, several of us were a little surprised, Yue Long couldn't sit still at first, he patted the table and said, "Brother Zhang, our store has been open here for six or seven years, right?" Wasn't business bad when it first opened, so it was hard to stick to it, and now it's about to give up because there are more competitors? ”

Li Qing also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhang, now that you have skills and reputation, why did you suddenly give up?" ”

Brother Zhang silently drank a glass of beer and said slowly: "Do you think I really don't want to do it?" I'm about to be overwhelmed by the opposite, the same dish, I sell it for 15 yuan here, and the opposite side can be sold for six or seven yuan, and I can't even make money for the ingredients for six or seven yuan, I really don't know where the ingredients on the opposite side come from, and they can be sold so cheaply. ”

Hearing Brother Zhang say this, Li Qing frowned and asked, "Could it be that the one opposite sells cheap goods, or stale ingredients?" ”

Brother Zhang said with a wry smile: "I also thought so, some time ago I specially asked my nephew to go to the opposite side to pack a few dishes, but as soon as I ate it, I knew that I really failed this time, his dishes are superior in terms of selection of materials and ingredients, and the taste is not worse than mine." ”

Hearing Brother Zhang say this, several of us couldn't believe our ears, and suddenly it was quiet for a moment, at this time Brother Zhang raised his wine glass and smiled: "Why are you all sad and sad, if you want to eat the dishes I made in the future, don't you come to eat at home." Let's not talk about it today, let's have a good drink. Yue Long rolled up his sleeves, picked up a bottle of beer from under the table, bit off the bottle cap and held the beer high and said, "Brother Zhang is right, come!" Don't think about these unhappy things, drink, drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”

Five people, you have a cup and I have a cup, and soon the two cases of beer have bottomed out, Brother Zhang's cheeks are red, he swayed up and walked to the back kitchen, and after a while, he mysteriously came out with a bottle of wine, he "snapped" The bottle of wine slapped on the table and sat down staggeringly and said with some inarticulate words: "This wine has been stored for more than ten years, I originally thought that my son would drink it when he got married, but I couldn't help it, come!" Let's have a drink today! "Then I poured a big glass for each of us.

The spicy alcohol stimulated the throat and brain, and gradually the eyes sank.

"Hey! Yang ling! Don't die, don't go, aren't you going to die?! Swindler! You are all liars! Looking at Yang Ling's slowly disappearing body, I shouted loudly.

"Hey, Xiaotong, don't sleep, it's time to go." It wasn't until Li Qing woke me up that I realized that it was just a dream just now, and I shook my head, dazed. Seeing that a few of them seemed to have just woken up, I was secretly glad in my heart: "Fortunately, they didn't hear..."
