Chapter Twenty-Five: A Suspected New Ally
I looked at the fat golden man in front of me, and I had mixed feelings, wondering if my luck would be so good, but at the same time believing that there must be a magical power in the dark to help me accomplish that 3,000 years of mission.
Blonde Facai stood there in a daze, his eyes widened with only a slit, and he looked at me intently with excitement, obviously a little scared.
Autosuggestion; Be calm, be calm! I forcibly suppressed the excitement in my heart, let go of his fat hand, returned to my seat, and pressed my palm to signal him to calm down, while smiling: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, your eight characters are indeed very good, one in a million is not too much, but I still have some doubts that you need to answer in person, if this is the case, then we are really an adventure of karma!" ”
Jin Facai said bluntly: "Don't scare me, I'm not bold, you have something to ask directly, don't be so surprised." ”
I thought about it and asked him what he could know about the structure of the family and the characteristics of each family.
According to him, the situation of the members of his family is very simple, his parents are only children, and his ancestral home is Liaoning. Before the liberation, my grandfather was a chief manager in a government-run casino run by a warlord, and my grandmother ate fasting and reciting Buddha at home and had no job.
The night before the liberation, he gave birth to Jin Facai's father, and later his grandfather was taken to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek with Zhang Xueliang, and many people below were also taken together, and his grandparents were also one of the people who were temporarily taken with the army.
Later, the distant relative married his daughter to Jin Facai's father, and the distant relative became Jin Facai's grandfather and grandmother.
Grandpa used to be a cook who cooked for the government in the province, and grandma was also a rural housewife, who only planted a few vegetable plots at home to raise chickens and pigs.
Grandpa just passed away a few years ago, leaving only a 90-year-old grandma, who also had Alzheimer's disease and was sent to a nursing home for special care. And Jin Facai's mother used to be a dim sum chef in a state-run restaurant, but later the family conditions were good, so she never worked again, and she has been reciting scriptures and eating vegetarian food at home.
I made some notes on some keywords while listening, and when Jin Facai finished talking intermittently, I also listed a few key points before and after, although I haven't figured out a clue yet, but it makes me believe that his Jin Facai's family system does have some skill inheritance, as for whether it can reach the level of ancestral spirit, it remains to be verified.
So far, two clues have been drawn:
1, Jin Facai, his father, and his grandfather all seem to have something to do with gambling.
2, Kim Fa Cai's mother and grandfather have both worked as chefs.
After Jin Facai finished speaking, he lit his cigar again and asked, "Zang Daguan, I can be regarded as turning out all the old stories in the family and telling you, and you don't have anything to hide from me!" What was the reason for you yelling so much before, and what the hell am I doing? ”
I wanted to tell him about the Pure Yang Five Elements and the three-thousand-year-old symbiosis of Yin and Yang, but I felt that it was too early for now, after all, this was just the story of Jin Facai.
What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable, so I can't guarantee that his words are a trap, sent by the forces in the underworld to lure me into a trap? Dad has already said that he will find someone to bring him to verify in the future, so he can't have a showdown right now.
Just thinking about how to deal with him, the monkey called and said that the hotel had been booked, and the pig's car was already waiting downstairs at the hotel.
I got up and said: "Jin Yuanwai, don't worry, if you are an ordinary person, you may be a good life, but after listening to your description, then these eight characters are placed on you is a noble appearance, as for how to be noble, it is not appropriate to say more now, I will talk to you slowly in the future, let's eat first, and we will not mention this matter at the dinner table for a while." ”
Jin Facai listened to my comfort, naturally a lot of relief, and his face showed a little smugness, was a "half-immortal" said that he was a noble life, and anyone who put it would be secretly cool to internal injury, not to mention Jin Facai, a straightforward person.
He nodded and said yes: "Yes, yes, outsiders can't listen to this kind of good thing casually, let's keep a low profile, hahaha!" When I change my clothes, let's eat first, I'm dying of hunger. ”
As expected, when he changed his outfit, it was indeed a famous brand all over his body, an ARMANI short-sleeved polo shirt with a large pattern on a black background, without buttons, revealing the big cleats in his neck. A pair of fuchsia wide cropped pants with a Hermes belt, an H-shaped classic logo belt with a belt to line the general's belly more prominently, a pair of GUCCI bottomed casual shoes barefoot, an LV classic plaid clutch in the right hand bulging, and a Rolex starry diamond gold watch on the left wrist is even more shining.
Although this combination of the world's first-line brands is worth a lot of money, this kind of European and American LOGO tandem reality show, coupled with the habit of Jin Facai's son-in-law, has to make people think of three words directly - local money.
If the valve core is present, it will definitely scoff at it, and there is a special term in their fashion publishing industry called "Eight-Nation Alliance".
After he came out, he stuffed my bulging envelope and said, "This is my eight-character life gold, you can keep it first, and then continue with me when you find time next time." ”
I was not polite, I took it and checked it several times more than the amount of the ordinary order, so I didn't count it anymore, put it in my bag, and went out of the room with him.
Walking with him, although I feel a little embarrassed, but when I look at my dress in the elevator mirror, the two of them stand together, which is quite dramatic.
The car was parked at the door of the hotel, and the pig's head was a stocky guy with a small flat head and a square face, and he had opened the door to meet us.
After getting into the car, I went south along the Bund and onto the elevated road.
Jin Facai said: "This car is rented here, it is a lot more convenient to go out, these days I have nothing to do, and I have played the City God Temple, Nanjing Road or something, but there is nothing fun during the day, except for people or people, I still prefer night Shanghai...... Hey, by the way, Zang Daguan, are you familiar with the entertainment venues in Shencheng? ”
I thought to myself that you are asking the right person, I Zang someone from the age of 18 to go to college, with the old man's endless pocket money as the base, large and small night clubs almost all over the time, watching all kinds of bars and dance halls open a batch and pour a batch, I am still playful after a hundred battles, old and strong.
I nodded and smiled slightly: "If Jin Yuanwai needs me to introduce, I can basically lead the way on occasions of various grades and styles, I can't say that I am good at this, but I am also a player, but compared with a professional entertainment and catering tycoon like Jin Yuanwai, it can only be a small fight." ”
"Ah, mom, what are you still polite to me, our kind of people are just casual gangsters, how can we compare with your international metropolis, I came here this time to find you for fortune telling, and secondly, I also want to learn more, and I also plan to invest in Shencheng to set up a branch or something. Now that I've found someone to do some preparations, I'll want you to come to the scepter in the future! ”
"It must be, if you want to see a feng shui or something in the future, you can help, hahaha."
As he spoke, the car stopped. Raise your eyes and look at the signboard, it is a famous private restaurant located in the Hongqiao area, I heard that the price here is expensive, and it costs two or three thousand per capita to eat casually, and I have been coveting this, I didn't expect that there is such a good taste today.
The monkey was already waiting at the door, and the pig's head handed over the car to the security guard to park, and the group of four went straight to the innermost box.
Entering the gate is a splendid Forbidden City style, and there is a gilded dragon chair in the front hall, which is quite imposing. The hotel has no lobby, all of which are private rooms, so it is impossible to see how many guests are here.
Jin Facai said: "The owner of this hotel, it is said that the ancestral surname is Tan, and he is also the imperial chef who helps cook in the Qing Palace. The materials are high-quality, and the taste is also first-class, of course, it is a little worse than my grandfather's craftsmanship, but it is also a first-class level now. It's a pity, Zang Daguan, you haven't eaten my grandfather's craftsmanship. ”
I secretly thought that if your grandfather is really a descendant of a Shuzu who is good at cooking, it is naturally not comparable to ordinary restaurants, and your grandfather is also indispensable to your fat.
The box is very large, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table are unsurprisingly golden, and it seems that this blonde fortune's preference for gold is really ubiquitous, and even his hair is dyed golden.
After sitting down, everyone had a menu, and Jin Facai first shouted, "I'm starving, let's have a bowl of signature rice first." ”
As soon as I heard it, I thought you guys were too picky, how could you invite someone to eat and take a bowl of rice to fill people up?
Subconsciously looked at the price of the rice on the menu, and was shocked to see that the signature rice was actually 1280 yuan per person.
Hurry up and put down the menu and stop participating in the opinions, please make a fortune, the price here is no longer something I can control.
Seeing that he ordered for a while, I couldn't estimate the price of this table at all, five figures is at least, and six figures are not impossible.
Inviting me to dinner here can also be seen as an affirmation of my ability to be a person, right? Looking at the fat man in front of him, who was dressed in colorful and golden light, he couldn't help but think of how to find an opportunity to take him to his father for identification?
The wine and food are served one by one, and it is naturally the kind of palace cuisine like a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and I have only seen this kind of exquisite appearance on TV before, but I have never tasted it. Listening to Kim Fa Choi's introduction of this dish and that dish one by one, and then eating it, it was really "color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning, and nourishment", and I couldn't help but think that Mr. Abe, the owner of Kagawa Restaurant, had an appointment with me to help him make a couplet during the Obon Festival, and I would visit him again in a few days.
Since there are monkeys and pigs' heads on the table, the topic no longer involves fortune telling, but has to talk about his entertainment and catering industry, what nightclub business is difficult to do, the cost of cafes is too high, etc., of course, occasionally they will say some meat jokes, plus a few of them in the Northeast dialect, how to listen to it is a bit of a two-person turn, but it is also very appetizing.
I remembered that he said before that he was going to invest in catering and entertainment in Shencheng, and I thought that if he was really the ancestral spirit of the pure yang eight characters, he would inevitably have to run around with me in the future, and he might not have the energy to take care of business anymore.
If there is a fierce battle, it will inevitably be dangerous, but he doesn't know yin and yang like me, even if he has some abilities in gambling and even food, but how can this help me resist the evil together?
Is it possible to fight the landlord with the monster to divide the victory and defeat? Originally, I thought that the five descendants of gold, wood, water, fire and earth all have unique skills, even if they can't fly away to call the wind and rain, but at least they should be very proficient in yin and yang like me, but no matter how you look at it, this fat man can't help much, I just hope that if I look away, he will either hide it or be the person I'm looking for at all.
Eating, drinking, chatting, the time flickered and it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and the payment was a swiping card, so in the end I didn't see how much money I paid, and I wanted to make an appointment to talk about it again, but Jin Facai insisted on pulling me to lead the way to find a place to play.
"Since Zang Daguan said before that the fun places are very familiar, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and take us to see it today."
I thought that I could take the opportunity to ask him to meet my father alone, so I asked: "Jin Yuan is an insider, and ordinary bars and dance halls probably don't have much interest, so why don't I take you to a nightclub." ”
"Hahaha, I also run a nightclub myself, and I've long lost interest in these things, but since Zang Daguan specially introduced it, there must be something different, lead the way!"
So I sat in the passenger seat and showed the pig's head the way.
After a while, I came to the door of a clubhouse very close to the hotel.
In recent years, a friend who works in the officialdom has often introduced me to some important guests, out of hiding people's eyes, he arranged the place for fortune telling and fortune telling in this relatively secret high-end club, which is a membership system, with an annual fee of 200,000 yuan, so the average person will rarely know, just report my friend's name, and there is no need to book a room in advance.
I was already a regular customer here, and the manager quickly arranged for me to have a private room and a couple of PR assistants to come over - in fact, the escort lady.
However, the wine here is not as good as ordinary smoky places, most of them are well-behaved models, have a high cultural literacy, and are basically proficient in more than two languages, and some are returnees, naturally, singing is also of a professional level.
They don't do those low-level and interesting games, and they don't make affectionate gestures with the guests casually, but they are just very polite to pour wine, chat, help order songs or sing along.
This may be too boring for those who love meat, but for the old rivers and lakes who have had enough of it for a long time, there is a kind of elegance that lobster is tired of eating and needs to drink some porridge.
After ordering a few bottles of red wine and singing for about half an hour, Jin Facai praised the environment here as a different place, and he even felt that this was the business model he wanted to learn, so he immediately called his agent who helped him prepare the project locally, saying that he wanted to let him experience it, and he must imitate it according to this model and surpass it at this level.
About twenty minutes later, his agent knocked on the door and entered.
I looked up and couldn't help but laugh - kraft candy!?
