Chapter 18: Old Wei's Request
This night, because we knew that tomorrow afternoon, Jiang Xue would be on a business trip to Liyun City by plane, so in the evening, we decided to go out together for a while.
The destination of the small gathering is naturally to go to the old Wei tavern, and I haven't been to Wei Junan's tavern for a few days, and I don't know what the business is like now.
After going to Wei Junan's tavern, Jiang Xue took the lead in walking inside, saying that she would go to the bathroom first.
When Lao Wei saw the three of us coming, he walked out of the bar with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically handed me and Gao Hangfeng a cigarette respectively.
"I haven't seen you in a few days." When Lao Wei walked in front of us, he saw the bandage on my head, and his expression suddenly became surprised.
"Yo! Old Xue, what's the matter with this injury on your head? ”
"Hey, I had a fight with someone some time ago, and I opened it, but it's nothing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to you today."
Gao Hangfeng lit the cigarette, smiled maliciously, and took Lao Wei's words: "Hey, it's this 'head' that is lost, not that 'head', otherwise it will be miserable!" So, don't fight, aren't people saying slogans? Win and lose money, lose and be hospitalized, this is obviously Lao Xue is the latter! ”
I naturally knew what Gao Hangfeng meant by what he said, so I kicked him, and then said to Lao Wei: "Don't listen to his nonsense here, Lao Wei, arrange something for us to eat, I see that you are not very busy here now, just come over and chat together." ”
Wei Junan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, then when I'm done with this while, I'll serve you food first, it just so happens that you guys are here, and I also have something to talk to the two of you." ”
Gao Hangfeng blinked his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wei Junan looked at him with a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Oh, it's not bad for a while, you go over and sit down first, and I'll talk to you later." ”
After Gao Hangfeng and I sat down at a little inside, Jiang Xue hadn't come out yet, I flicked the cigarette cartridge in my hand, turned my head to look at Gao Hangfeng, and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, that, Cher's latest rental house isn't cheap, right?" I took a puff of cigarette, squinted my eyes, looked at Gao Hangfeng, and asked, "How much?" ”
"Hey, you're willing to ask about this, I thought you kid really had no conscience to the point of ignoring it!" Gao Hangfeng took a sip of lemonade, stretched out a finger, and continued: "It's just about 10,000 yuan, and the rent is two thousand and five months, two to pay one, Xue'er is afraid that you won't have the money to pay the back, so she simply gave another month of rent." ”
"I'm back." Gao Hangfeng pouted in the direction behind me, signaled Jiang Xue to come out of the bathroom after going to the bathroom, and then whispered: "Because Xue'er knows that if she continues to work in the future, she will basically rarely live there, and she often travels, and the main reason for renting that house is because you, here in Kyoto City, if you want to rent a new house, the cost is not small...... Anyway, here she is. ”
"Did you two order something to eat?" Jiang Xue sat on the chair next to us, glanced at me and Gao Hangfeng and asked.
"Don't order it, Lao Wei knows what we usually eat, and he will send it over later."
After a while, we saw Lao Wei walking towards us with two trays, one tray was for food, and the other was for drinking.
In order to take care of me, the "wounded", he also brought another pot of warm lemonade, and the three of them drank a bottle of foreign wine.
Lao Wei put the things on the table and sat down on the last chair next to the table, just four people sat in different directions, he said to the three of us with a smile.
"It's rare that Xue'er is here, tonight's meal, I invited, but it's only these in my hand, and if you have any extra ones, you will have to charge."
"Okay, no problem." I helped, brought the things on the tray to the table, and took the initiative to pour wine for the three of them, and then when I gave the cup to Lao Wei, I turned my head to look at him, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Lao Wei, you said that you have something to talk to us about, what's the matter?" ”
Lao Wei took a sip of wine, looked around the tavern, and nodded slowly: "There is a request that I need your help...... What, I have some private matters to deal with at home, the old man fell and was hospitalized, I have to rush back to take care of it for a few days, my sister is too busy, and said that I have been preparing for the exam recently, and I can't spare time, I thought about it, then I'll go back, I haven't been back to my hometown for more than a year. ”
He lit a cigarette, looked embarrassed, looked at me and Gao Hangfeng and continued: "But my tavern, I can't have no one to help take care of it, right?" I didn't have enough people, but I left some time ago, and I haven't recruited anyone yet, so I thought, you two, can you come and help me take care of the tavern's business for a few days? ”
Gao Hangfeng and I glanced at each other with some surprised expressions, and then I nodded and took the conversation, and said, "Okay, this is no problem, you should know about me and Lao Gao, right?" The broken company has gone bankrupt before, and this will all belong to the unemployed vagrants, so I will come and help you take care of the tavern business, it is still okay. ”
Jiang Xue snapped her fingers and echoed: "Yes, you came here just in time, find something to do for the two of them, this person, if you have been idle for a long time, you will be 'scrapped'." ”
Lao Wei nodded at us with relief, and said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, then I am much more relieved!" Of course, this is not for nothing. ”
He drank the little wine in the small wine glass, looked at me and Gao Hangfeng with a serious expression, and said: "Because now I am not sure how many days I have to go back to my hometown, so let's do it, in the days when I go back to my hometown, the net profit earned by the tavern will be directly shared with you when I come back." ”
"Oh, Lao Wei, don't be so polite, everyone has been old friends for so long, just show you the store, it's not a big deal."
Lao Wei's expression was serious, and he said in a firm tone: "That's not good, it's so decided!" He raised his glass and said, "Okay, that's it, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, I'll give you the key later, and then talk to you about things that need attention, otherwise it won't be too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Say it, I'll listen to Lao Gao."
This night, none of us expected that Lao Wei would suddenly make such a request to us, but looking back, it didn't feel like much. This "Lao Wei Tavern", although we usually come here as customers and partners before, but for a long time, we have long been familiar with the business model of the entire tavern.
Tomorrow morning, Lao Wei will go back to his hometown, and in the afternoon, Jiang Xue will also take a plane to Liyun City. Here in Kyoto, the few good friends I have seem to be busy with their lives.
