Chapter 0960 - Asking for Directions
Xia Jian, who was lying in the gentle township, was dreaming again and again.
He slept so deeply that it was past two o'clock in the afternoon when he opened his eyes. Boss Lin beside him didn't know where he was going, so he hurriedly got dressed and was about to go out.
Boss Lin pushed open the door and walked in, she smiled slightly and said, "Don't go, you lie down for a while, how about I get you a bowl of noodles to eat?" If it doesn't work, let's stew a leg of lamb."
"Thank you! I have to go out and have a look," Xia Jian said, and walked out of Boss Lin's office quickly.
The sun hung in the sky and shone brightly, and the snow on the ground turned into water and flowed like a river. Xia Jian walked upstairs quickly and knocked directly on the door of Xi Zhen and Han Juan.
As soon as the two women saw Xia Jian coming, Xi Zhen spoke first: "Mr. Xia!" Isn't it time to eat something, how can you stand it like this, every meal is either instant noodles or biscuits"
"Good! You go out to eat, and when you come back, bring me a little," Xia Jian said, and smiled.
Han Juan glanced at Xia Jian and said: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that we are not well prepared, we should have a pair of riding boots for each person, I wore them when I saw someone go out just now."
"Hmmm! All right! That's not a problem. So be it! You take out 50,000 yuan of the money you won last night and give it to Boss Lin, remember, don't let others see it, understand? Xia Jian whispered to Han Juan.
Han Juan nodded, took out the bag containing the money from under the pillow, then counted 50,000 yuan, and took it downstairs. Xia Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help muttering, "What is this doing!" β
"Mr. Xia, I have looked for you several times in the morning, you don't seem to be in your room, but it is difficult to walk outside, where have you been? Won't it be to give Boss Lin to the family again..."Xi Zhen said this, and suddenly stopped talking, after all, Xia Jian is her boss, she can't be big or small.
Xia Jian glanced at Xi Zhen, smiled slightly, and said, "It was almost bright when I went to bed last night, so you went to look for me, I didn't know at all, there was nothing to ask."
"Liar! The chimney in your room doesn't smoke at all, which means that your stove is sealed, how can you sleep without turning on the stove on such a cold day" Xi Zhen said and smiled, her smile was a little weird. Xia Jian was speechless for a while, and when he was feeling embarrassed, Han Juan pushed the door and walked in.
She took three pairs of rain in her hand, she threw it on the ground and said, "Boss Lin lent it to us, let's give it to her after we go out to eat" Han Juan said, glancing at Xia Jian.
Xia Jian pretended not to know what to do, he smiled and said: "That's great, let's go out for a good meal now, just eat stewed lamb shank, and drink white wine."
When the two women heard this, they were happy, and everyone hurriedly changed into rain boots. Han Juan gave 20,000 yuan to Xia Jian with the money under the pillow, and then she also put 20,000 yuan in her pocket and gave the rest to Xi Zhen.
Xi Zhen stuffed money into her bag and said with a smile: "Other people's money is used less and less, while ours is used more and more, it seems that it is really right to follow Mr. Xia" The three of them laughed and walked out of the door of the small hotel.
The snow on the road outside flowed like a stream. There are basically no pedestrians on the road, let alone vehicles. The three of them walked all the way down the street, trying to find a larger restaurant to have a good meal.
Probably in the middle of the street, there is a restaurant that welcomes guests, and it looks more bold from the faΓ§ade, Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, and then walked in with Xi Zhen and Han Juan.
The store was deserted, and a few guys in white were huddled together to make a fire. A middle-aged man who looked like a boss glanced at Xia Jian, then walked over and asked, "Are you eating?" β
"That's right! Do you have private rooms? Let's have some wine," Xia Jian said, looking up and looking around.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "There is a private room upstairs, but there is no good food now, and the car will not run under this heavy snow."
"It's okay, it's okay to have meat," Xia Jian said with a smile.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was happy, and he smiled and said: "There is meat, beef, mutton, depending on what kind of meat you like to eat, we will make it for you."
"Stew a leg of lamb, then a plate of spiced beef, two bottles of white wine. If you have any dishes, just serve two of them! Xia Jian didn't look at the menu, and said casually.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, please upstairs, I'll arrange someone to do it for you immediately."
A small house with little new furnishings in it. It's just that the big iron stove by the door is a bit likable, and Xia Jian opened the door as soon as he entered. The fire burst out, and in a short time, the house was warm.
The middle-aged man took two bottles of liquor, the name of this liquor Xia Jian and a few of them had never heard of it, but when they looked at the degree indicated on it, they were all more than 60 degrees, which was the degree that Xia Jian and the others needed.
A plate of spicy potato cubes, then a plate of home-style tofu stewed cabbage, and then a general Wang Xiang beef. This is already very appetizing. Xi Zhen didn't wait for Xia Jian to speak, and she was taken aback. Such a dish, if it were in normal times, they would definitely pick it up, but now that it is served, it has become delicious.
The three of them poured liquor and drank it while eating, feeling that they had never eaten such a delicious dish. A few plates of dishes didn't take long to see the bottom of the plate. Xi Zhen meant that he wanted to serve another plate of potato wedges, but Xia Jian shook his head and said, "The leg of lamb will be fine soon, and it will be very good if the three of us can finish eating."
So the three of them put together the liquor. They don't guess the fist, they pour one cup after another, anyway, they can't walk today, and they have to go back to sleep at night.
When there was less than half a bottle of the two bottles of liquor, the stewed leg of lamb was finally served, and the three of them looked at it and started to do it. Xia Jian took a bite and praised again and again, The mutton in this restaurant is really good.
A leg of mutton, a big basin, the three of them let go of their stomachs to eat, but after drinking the wine, there was still half a basin of meat. Xi Zhen laughed and said, "Brother Xia! Why don't we go back, there is a stove anyway, as long as we borrow the proprietress pot, won't our dinner also be settled? β
"Hmmm! This is a good idea, ask the waiter to pack, check out and go back, and leave at noon tomorrow," Xia Jian said and stood up. Han Juan moved quickly, and it seemed that this bit of wine had no effect on her. But Xi Zhen couldn't do it, she spoke in a knot, and the color on her face changed a lot.
After settling the account, Han Juan walked in front with the finished bag, and Xia Jian saw Xi Zhen's appearance, so he walked behind and prepared to help her. At four or five o'clock on the street, there were already pedestrians. It turned out that the water flowing on the ground had frozen, and the rain boots were very slippery when walking on it.
Suddenly, four big men came over, and Xia Jian saw that it was Li Sanqiang and a few of them, they were really narrow, and they could meet these people wherever they went.
"Yo! Boss Xia, this is taking beautiful women to go shopping! You really have Yaxing. Have fun tonight, I don't believe that your luck can turn the sky upside down" Li Sanqiang walked to Xia Jian's side and said in a low voice.
Xia Jian smiled and said: "Thanks to each other, no matter how good your luck is, you still lose money in the end."
"Hahahaha! I love to listen to this sentence, because it is not over between us at all, and we can only know who lost the money until the end of the game" Li Sanqiang said, and couldn't help laughing, but there was a trace of bitterness in his laughter.
Back at the hotel, Xia Jian followed Han Juan to her room to change her shoes, and then prepared to go back to her room to sleep beautifully. People who drink alcohol like to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Xi Zhen grabbed Xia Jian's arm and said, "Don't go back, our room is so warm, and this bed is also big, you can lie down!" Neither of us will eat you anyway."
When Xia Jian heard this, he realized that this woman had really drunk too much, and he was a little embarrassed and said to Han Juan: "Quickly help her to the bed, don't let her run around"
"It's okay, Mr. Xia! It's okay for you to lie down on the bed for a while, and you don't have so much attention when you go out" Han Juan said this, with a serious face.
Xia Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go back to my room!" If there is anything to call, don't be afraid to spend money" Xia Jian wanted not to embarrass himself, so he had nothing to say.
Han Juan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia really didn't look carefully, there is no signal in this place at all." But I have one thing to warn you about. You can't gamble again tonight, for whatever purpose. Tomorrow at around 11 o'clock, when the ice on the road melts, we must rush to HS City before it freezes at night."
"Hmmm! I think so too, I'm afraid it's not going to be a good night, you two have to work hard. I'll go to Boss Lin in a while to find out about the situation in Melans Town" After Xia Jian finished speaking, he opened the door and went downstairs, and Xi Zhen's drunken words came from behind him.
In Boss Lin's office, three women dressed up a little bewitching were playing cards. Xia Jian glanced at them, didn't speak, and went directly into the inner room. These people regarded Xia Jian as transparent, and no one took care of him at all, and no one even looked at him, which surprised Xia Jian.
Pushing open the secret door, Xia Jian walked in. I saw that Boss Lin was half lying on the bed, and his lower body was still wrapped in a quilt. She wore only a thin thread on her upper body, and because it was tight, her chest protruded a little exaggeratedly.
"Lock the door and come up! I've been waiting for you for a long time," Boss Lin said with a smile.
When Xia Jian heard this, he locked the door with his backhand, and then asked with a smile: "How do you know that I am coming to you?" β
"Humph! You're going to Melans Town, so I'm afraid you won't be able to ask if you don't ask! Boss Lin sat up straight, and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Jian into her warm bed.
Xia Jian stretched out his hand and hugged Boss Lin, and then whispered: "Since you know everything, then give me a brief introduction to the situation in Melans Town!" β
"No problem, but how do you have to thank me" Boss Lin smiled coquettishly, and his body writhed in the bed like a water snake.
Xia Jian smiled and said, "I thank you like this," he said, and his whole body pressed over.
