Tuna is not big, only about 100 square meters, with five or six scattered tables.
Facing the door is a bar that spans the entire room. Behind the bar is a wine cabinet filled with various drinks. In the middle of the wine cabinet, a small door is opened leading to the back kitchen.
You must have heard the wind chime hanging on the door when you entered. A man in his forties opened the door curtain in the middle of the wine cabinet and stepped out.
The man is wearing typical RB clothing, like the male protagonist in a late-night cafeteria, with an apron tied around his waist and a chef's hat on his head.
"Coming?" The man greeted Du Xiaoyu expressionlessly, while his eyes lingered on Cheng Yu for a moment.
Du Xiaoyu also nodded coldly, walked to the bar and sat down with the same expressionless expression, and said: "My friend, Cheng Yu." Then he turned back, looked at Cheng Yu and said: "The boss here, Lao Tun." Cheng Yu was naturally not like Du Xiaoyu. He smiled, nodded to Lao Tun and said, "Hello."
Lao swallowed up the nonsense, nodded and said: "Okay. You guys sit down."
After saying that, he ducked back into the kitchen.
"Is he the only one here?"
"I used to have a little boy helping me, but after the demolition here, the business obviously stopped. The salary was not reduced, but the bonus was much less. The man resigned and left."
Cheng Yu nodded, thinking that this was human nature, and said: "This area has been demolished like this, so it's not a problem that he doesn't move out, right? And the compensation for the demolition is pretty good now..."
"This is a private house, and the compensation is also a private house, and it will take three years to hand over the house. Lao Tun does not want to be a bad guy. He has signed the demolition agreement long ago. He is just taking advantage of the fact that the place has not been completely demolished, so he can do business for a few days.
Just a few days of business."
Only then did Cheng Yu realize that he had gone astray.
"Didn't you find a new place?"
Du Xiaoyu nodded and said: "He has no money."
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, but Du Xiaoyu understood what he meant and said: "I said I would invest for him, but he didn't want it. You will know this guy over time."
"Then you just said that this place will become famous?"
"It's not here, it's Tuna. Because I found a place for him."
"Where?"
"You've been there."
Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "That bar?"
Du Xiaoyu nodded and said: "That singer is also my friend. He is going to France. He originally wanted to leave the bar to me, but I didn't have time to watch it for him. So I thought of Lao Tun..."<
/p>
The curtain in the back kitchen was opened, and Lao Tun walked out calmly, placing a sashimi platter in front of the two of them.
"What to drink?"
"Dassai."
But Lao Tun did not follow Du Xiaoyu's request. Instead, he turned around and took down a bottle of soju and placed it in front of the two of them.
He took another bottle of mineral water and put it down together. Lao Tun said: "Drink Shao Bar."
Du Xiaoyu didn't mind it either. He took the wine bottle, opened it, poured half a cup into two glasses, and added some mineral water.
Lao Tun had already returned to the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out some grilled fish tempura and other things.
"Lao Tun, let's have a drink together, I just have something to tell you."
Lao Tun looked at the empty shop, walked out from behind the bar, took off his hat and untied the apron around his waist as he walked, and sat silently on Cheng Yu's right hand side.
After pouring the wine, Lao Tun picked up an edamame and put it into his mouth, then picked up the cup, shook it at the two of them, and drank it all in one gulp.
"How many days have it been?" Du Xiaoyu asked coldly.
Cheng Yu didn't realize until now that Du Xiaoyu had turned back into the aloof look he saw in the bar last night.
Are there different roles in front of different groups of people?
Does this woman have a mental problem?!
Lao Tun nodded, ate another edamame, and said, "Three days."
"I've found a good place for you."
"No need."
Lao Tun is a very independent man and speaks very little. He simply rejected Du Xiaoyu with just two words without even asking the reason.
Cheng Yu looked at the two people, one on the left and the other on the right, and finally understood that Du Xiaoyu probably learned his aloof demeanor from this uncle.
After thinking about it, there was something wrong with the way Cheng Yu looked at Du Xiaoyu. This woman wouldn't be attached to Lao Tunxin. Girls nowadays seem to like this kind of aloof, poor and cool uncle. Cheng Yu looked at Lao Tun carefully and noticed the leather boots he was wearing. He also saw a leather jacket hanging in the corner of the wine cabinet behind the bar. He was even more sure that Du Xiaoyu was probably riding a motorcycle with this guy.
An old student.
Based on the location chosen by Lao Tun, Cheng Yu felt that Lao Tun might have been rejecting Du Xiaoyu.
This is such a bad fate!
Du Xiaoyu was probably used to Lao Tun's rejection, so she didn't care and just kept talking to herself.
"It was originally a bar, just on Bar Street. The owner was going to France and asked me to help him look after the store. I suggested to him that you help him look after the store and just change it into a Japanese food store. How to take over the shares is up to you.
."
Lao Tun ate another edamame, picked up the wine bottle, poured himself some wine, mixed it with mineral water, and said, "If it's true as you said, thank you."
Du Xiaoyu picked up the wine glass, walked around Cheng Yu, clinked it with Lao Tun, and they drank it all in one gulp.
Suddenly, Cheng Yu felt that sitting here was a bit redundant.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yu stood up and moved his seat, walked to the other side of Du Xiaoyu and sat down.
Lao Tun and Du Xiaoyu didn't mind. They didn't speak anymore and just ate and drank in silence. Soon, the three of them finished a bottle of soju.
After returning to the kitchen and preparing some snacks for Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu, Lao Tun took another bottle of sake and placed it in front of them.
"I invited you."
After that, he went back to the kitchen and never appeared again.
After drinking the bottle of sake, Du Xiaoyu took the money from his pocket, put it on the bar, and held it down with a wine glass.
"I will send you the address. You can go there today. He is also in a hurry."
Lao Tun agreed in a muffled voice in the kitchen, and Du Xiaoyu stood up and motioned for Cheng Yu to leave.
After leaving the house, Cheng Yu also received five points from the meal. He said: "Lao Tun is cool enough."
"Well, when I was young, I fell in love with a woman and chased her to rb. The woman became the mistress of an unknown generation, so he joined the motorcycle gang. During a firefight, the woman was also implicated, and Lao Tun saved her.
That woman, the woman entrusted her child to him, but she disappeared. Then Lao Tun was disheartened, returned to China, used all his savings to buy this place, and opened Tuna. The business here has always been good, but the profit
He spent all the money he had on raising that woman's child. I met him when I was riding a bike, and Lao Tun knows a lot about cars. The relationship between us is not what you think. He taught me how to ride a bike, and I patronized him.
In the izakaya, we have a master-student relationship."
Cheng Yu nodded disapprovingly and said, "There's no need to explain to me, I'm not really your boyfriend."
"Because it's not what you think. I just respect him very much."
"Whatever, you are imitating him anyway, with your aloof style, right?"
"Yes, but not entirely. Dealing with different people always requires different methods."
"Then wouldn't it be an honor for me to see your cute side?"
Du Xiaoyu nodded seriously and said: "So, next time you treat me."
"Don't even think about it!" Cheng Yu refused without hesitation.

I admit that this Lao Tun is based on part of the character design of a certain character of Uncle Dao Ming, but it is just a symbolic character, so please don’t mind it too much. Please vote for me again.
