Chapter 144 Chapter 144
This unique piece of gold-sprayed red paper is just a treat.
The cafe is deserted and lonely, and there is only a table of foreigners eating.
If you have money or not, go home for the New Year.
As the most prosperous city in the Far East, Shanghai’s New Year’s Eve is no different from other parts of China.
Before it was dark, there were few people on the street. Now it was quieter outside. It seemed that in a moment, everyone in Shanghai hid and refused to show off a head.
Crescent Cafe is dedicated and insists on opening business.
A waiter walked out with a basket of bread on the other end.
Ling Shu turned his head and saw him standing by the roadside, distributing it to several beggars.
"Sir, this is the menu. You two will take a look first. If you need it, just click the service bell on the table. I will come over immediately. This is lemonade, warm, quench your thirst first."
As soon as they entered the door, two waiters came up, took the initiative to take their hats, scarves and jackets, and led them to a corner of peace, lit up the candles on the table, and served the menu.
Yue Dingtang opened it and took a brief look.
Pure Western food is difficult to get favor from all customers in China. Even if it is a public concession, this Crescent Cafe is no exception. The menu is full of Western foods that combine Chinese and Western food, such as tomato, egg, beef pasta. He will never order this dish, but it can be imagined that there will definitely be many customers ordering this dish, otherwise the boss will not stay on the menu all the time.
"Don't you close on New Year's Eve?" Ling Shu asked the waiter.
The waiter smiled and said, "Our boss said that every household must be closed during the New Year, but there must be many people who have not been able to go back. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and snow to let the guests come in for a nap."
Ling Shu: "Then you can't go home?"
The waiter: "We all have no relatives at home, or come here alone to make a living. Fortunately, the boss took them in. Everyone is eating and living here, which is convenient."
While the two were talking, Yue Dingtang had already ordered a good meal.
"If you want this set meal, charcoal-grilled sirloin steak, 70% ripe, and honey melon ice cream for dessert."
"Okay sir. Then, sir, what do you want to order?"
Ling Shu pondered silently, and the waiter did not dare to urge him, so he waited patiently.
Yue Dingtang glanced at him and found that Ling Shu skipped the page of the staple food set and turned directly to the last single-order part of the dessert, without moving his eyes at all.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Ling Shu was like the master standing on the top of Shu Mountain, waiting for Qingcheng to unsheathed his sword. The enemy did not move, I did not move, and the wood withered, and the earth was forever.
Yue Dingtang couldn't stand it anymore and finally broke his silence.
"I'll invite this."
Ling Shu stretched his body with his naked eyes, and his whole body felt like he was reborn.
"Come a lobster noodles set meal. The desserts require cheese, raspberry ice cream, and strawberry pudding. You can get us a bottle of champagne."
Yue Dingtang:...
The waiter was as if he had received a general amnesty and hurriedly left.
Yue Dingtang: "Why don't you just wrap all the desserts here?"
Ling Shu leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "Do you think I was deliberately cheating you? My sister cooked a table of dishes and was waiting for me to go back to eat. But if we take the initiative to find the boss now, it would be too presumptuous and it would easily arouse his vigilance. If he was really a great man as his neighbors said, seeing that we ordered so much, he would definitely come out to stop us, and then he would have the opportunity to talk."
Yue Dingtang really didn't expect this level to be connected for a while.
Seeing this, Ling Shu raised his legs and raised his chin slightly: "I didn't expect that, how could a young master like you, who is not as good as the world, understand these details and methods? In the end, he would have to take action by masters?"
A sword of Damocles that could fall at any time was hanging above his head. He could still be as proud as anyone else. If the death period was approaching, the eunuch was still at a loss, I was afraid that I would have been in panic all day long, let alone so calmly looking for a breakthrough.
"then,"
Looking at him like this, Yue Dingtang spoke slowly.
"What happened to the Ling family. Did the Du family take the blame and give you a lot of embarrassment?"
Ling Shu was stunned and laughed: "Why did you suddenly ask this? I forgot it long ago. Moreover, the dead are the most important, Du Yunning has passed away, and these things have disappeared, so it's better not to mention them."
Yue Dingtang: "You have been doing well over the years?"
Ling Shu: "What, Professor Yue wants to arrange a job for me?"
Yue Dingtang: "I can help you pay attention, but I'm afraid you won't go."
Ling Shu: "That's right, I think I'm pretty good now."
"You have also stayed abroad, but in the end you end up in such a small position. Don't you feel sorry?"
"It's okay, if my father was still there before, and the Ling family was in a glorious place, he naturally arranged whatever he wanted to help me arrange. It would be impossible to go to Nanjing to get a fat man. However, I haven't learned much serious skills for several years. I only know those few words when I go back and forth. If I really give me any important position, I can't handle it. It's better to follow the steps and do some errands in the police station like now, and live a leisurely life. No matter how many people ask for it, they can't come."
Influenced by the heating in the room, Ling Shu's tone became warmer, neither too slow, as if nothing could make him turbulent and his eyebrows and eyes changed color.
But Yue Dingtang felt that this might just be an illusion.
Ling Shu used to be competitive, but now he is arrogant and restrained and is waiting to die. However, he is old at the age of three, and his nature is difficult to change. He may not be willing to live a life like this in his heart.
"If Du Yunning thought so like you, there might not be the tragedy today."
Ling Shu was full of energy in the past, but he was easy to guess.
Ling Shu seems to be in a down-and-out situation now, but it has settled down and is hard to see through.
Ling Shu: "Du Yunning is different from me. Even if she has a bad relationship with Yuan Bing, she has always been in a wealthy state. All her worries are just whether her husband loves herself or not. Can a gorgeous cage be less shackles and more colorful glitz? In some ways, she is still as naive as before and has never changed."
Yue Dingtang: "Since she had already married Yuan Bing as her family arranged by her family, why did she have a quarrel with her family later?"
Ling Shu: "You have seen how Yuan Bing is. After marriage, some things happened to the Du family. I hope the Yuan family can lend a helping hand. At that time, Yuan Bing was dead, and Yuan Bing refused to help. The eldest son of the Du family died tragically. Since then, the Du family has cut off relations with Du Yunning and has no contact again."
Yue Dingtang was not very clear about these things. He originally considered the possibility of Du Yunning's family committing an offense, but now after hearing what the other party said, it can basically be ruled out.
As we talked, the dishes came up one by one.
To be honest, the chef was so sloppy, but the two of them were very hungry after running for most of the day. The meal was swept away the wind and the clouds were clean, and they didn't have time to discuss the situation in the middle.
Until the time the dessert was served, a middle-aged man came over with the waiter.
"I wish you two early years first!"
He is polite to the party. Although he is wearing a dress, he is still used to bowing and greeting him. He is a real Chinese style.
"Attached, my surname is Li, and I am the boss here. Thank you for your patronage. Is this the first time you come back?"
"Yes, we are university teachers, and we have something to go out today." Yue Ding Tang said.
"It turns out to be a college teacher, I'm not respectful!" Boss Li hurriedly bowed, "I saw that there were a lot of desserts in the two, but I was afraid that it would be a bit boring after using them several times, so I came here to remind you, and please don't be surprised!"
Yue Dingtang smiled and said, "Everyone wants to buy more when doing business, but you even asked us to make a fewer things, for fear that the things can be sold. Now there are not many businessmen as kind as you."
