There were eight men sitting around a big table, eagerly watching the master chef slice the duck next to him. In the hands of the master chef, there was already a rack of duck with the meat removed, and the duck meat had already been wrapped by the men.
The lotus leaf pancakes were completely eaten, and what they were waiting for was the second duck on the table.
"I think a duck really doesn't have much meat. How about we add another one?"
The host of this meal, Gao Fan, asked everyone.
"Don't order any more. In fact, you shouldn't even order this duck. One is enough for everyone." Gu Songtao, the boss of dormitory 449, quickly stopped him, but when he said this, his eyes did not leave.
The duck being handled can also faintly see a flickering light at the corner of its mouth.
"Boss, just pull it down. You ate the most on that duck just now, okay?" Pan Chang, the fifth man, revealed in a carefree manner.
"No way, I only ate three rolls." Gu Songtao argued.
"But you roll the most meat." Pan Chang said.
Gu Songtao said awkwardly: "I have no experience. It's not like you Beijingers who often eat roast duck."
Hu Dongming, the second eldest son, interrupted and said: "I have to say that the taste of this roast duck is really well-deserved. When I was admitted to Peking University, my neighbors told me that I could eat roast duck in Beijing. As a result, I am now the first
The first time I ate roast duck, it was thanks to our Gaofan."
"Actually, a roast duck costs twelve yuan, which is really not expensive," Gao Fan said.
"This table of dishes costs more than twelve yuan. We can't just come in and order a roast duck." He Xujie, the fourth child, pointed at the dishes on the table and said.
Today is the last subject of their final exam. During this period, Gao Fan really became the tutor for the whole dormitory, giving everyone a lot of tutoring, and everyone benefited.
People like Pan Chang, who is at the bottom of the class, feel like they have made a comeback from a desperate situation. In his words, if Gao Fan hadn't given him unexpected make-up lessons, he would have had a red light in at least three of his courses.
In view of this, He Xujie proposed that all the students in the dormitory said that they should treat Gao Fan to a meal together. Of course, the more important idea was that everyone had been together for a semester, so it was time to have a meal together.
As for the place to eat, we didn’t think too much about it. We thought the internship restaurant in the school was very good. In the past, we saw some teachers or fellow graduate students ordering food for dinner there. Everyone was so greedy that we took this opportunity at the end of the semester to open one.
It’s also good to have meat dishes.
After Gao Fan heard this proposal, he put forward another plan. He said that except for Pan Chang, everyone in the dormitory was from out of town. After staying in Beijing for half a year, it would be a shame not to eat Peking duck. Therefore, he planned to
Invite everyone to go to the Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant for a roast duck meal. The expense will be entirely borne by him.
"You're not saying that you can go to your company for reimbursement, right?" Wang Yan, the third child, guessed.
"Low-key, low-key." Gao Fan said as if he was trying to conceal himself.
For Gao Fan, there is really no pressure to treat his classmates in the same dormitory to a roast duck. These days, even at a place like Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant, a big meal for eight people will cost less than 100 yuan.
However, since Wang Yan felt that he planned to use public funds to treat guests, he might as well admit it directly, so that everyone would not ask to share the accounts with him.
If 100 yuan is divided among 8 people, the average cost per person is 12 yuan, which is a very extravagant expense for students. Since Gao Fan proposed to go out to eat roast duck, it was impossible for everyone to pay. He was still thinking about it.
What name did he use to get over it? Wang Yan gave him a good reason.
Gao Fan skipped school and went home, and under the instructions of Zheng Linong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, he contracted a labor service company at the Canghai Fertilizer Factory and became a manager. This is something everyone knows.
Since he is a manager, he naturally has the right to spend some public funds, so everyone believes what Gao Fan said.
In this era, the consumption of public funds is something that can be shown off. A popular saying in society is that if you have the right to use it, it will become invalid after it expires.
In this way, after the exam, a group of people got on the bus and came to the Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant. Gao Fan directly ordered two roast ducks first, and then ordered dishes such as scallops with roasted radish, soft fried prawns, steamed halibut, and palace.
Dishes such as diced chicken, and a few beers were also required. All in all, it really cost less than 100 yuan.
When Gao Fan was ordering dishes, several classmates listened with trepidation. Some people secretly tugged on the corners of Gao Fan's clothes to ask him to order less. Even if it was public funds, the bill was too big and it would be difficult to explain it when he got home.
?
However, when it comes down to it, everyone's appetite is still very honest. As soon as Gao Fan's order was served, it was immediately sold out by everyone. The speed at which the master chef sliced the duck could not keep up with the speed at which everyone ate the duck. Isn't that right?
, everyone felt as if nothing had been put into their stomachs, there was no food on the table, and everyone could only wait for the remaining duck.
"Come on, let's all have a sip of beer! We have such a capable person like Gao Fan in our dormitory!"
After casting another pity look at the duck who was being tortured, Gu Songtao raised his beer glass and suggested to everyone.
"Yeah, let's drink first!"
Everyone also looked away and raised their glasses. After all, we are civilized people, and it is indeed not polite enough to watch a duck like this.
"Boss, I'm overly praised. How can I be considered a capable person?"
Gao Fan also raised his glass, signaled to everyone, took a sip of wine, and then said modestly.
"We are still students in school and you are already a manager. Are you still a capable person?" He Xujie commented.
Gao Fan said with a smile: "My company is a large collective enterprise, used to accommodate unemployed young people. As far as our table is concerned, who can't be a director, manager or something like that in the future? The organization in charge is better than ours."
Labor service companies are at least five levels higher."
"That's true." Chen Chuanlin, the seventh child, nodded and said, "We don't need to belittle ourselves. I can't say how a graduate of Peking University will be placed in Beijing, but if he is placed in our Xinye Province, he will become a deputy director.
There is no problem at all.”
"Lao Liu, what is the level of your current position?" He Xujie asked Gao Fan with a smile.
Gao Fan pretended to count on his fingers: "Our fertilizer factory is at the department level because of its large scale. The logistics department in the factory is considered to be at the stock level. Our labor service company is under the logistics department. What is this? Heel.
class?"
"Ha! It doesn't matter what level you are at. What's important is that Gao Fan is young and can issue invoices just for treating guests." Pan Chang commented with a smile, "Our Department of Chemistry is a department-level unit, so Director Teng invites people to come."
If you want to have a meal at the Peace Arch, you probably need the approval of the school, right?"
