Chapter 37 Drunk "It's only five o'clock now. Isn't it a little early for us to go to the restaurant at this time?" Xiao Tianming looked at his watch and said to Chen Bailu. For a person who is used to eating after six o'clock,
It is indeed a bit early to go to dinner before five o'clock.
"I don't want to go to eat so early. But if we go later, we will wait for a long time. Because the business of 'Xiang You Lai' has always been very good, and reservations are never allowed." Chen Bailu shrugged,
Said helplessly.
"Xiang Youlai" is not a kind of incense, but a restaurant with good business. "Xiang Youlai", as the name suggests, means that if you are popular this time, you can come again next time. As long as you are not here to eat Bawang meal, you are not here.
Looking for trouble, you are always welcome here.
"I can't tell you are so particular about eating." Xiao Tianming said to Chen Bailu with a smile.
"I have never been careless about eating." Chen Bailu said with a smile, "Not only am I particular about the restaurant, but I am also particular about the people who eat. Not everyone can let me eat with them. If I want to eat with someone I hate, even if
It’s delicacies from mountains and seas, delicious food, but I won’t be able to eat even one bite.”
"So, I should feel honored?" Xiao Tianming asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Chen Bailu put away the smile on her face and said to Xiao Tianming seriously, "If I were you, I would definitely take advantage of this opportunity and treat me to another meal. Because I am a beautiful woman, and such an opportunity is not
Not everyone has that."
"Then I have no choice but to go bankrupt and become a beggar." Xiao Tianming sighed heavily, spread his hands and said to Chen Bailu.
"Bankrupt? I don't seem to be as good at eating as you say, right?" Chen Bailu pouted and said unhappily. As a girl, she doesn't want to hear others say that she is good at eating, especially the boy she likes.
"Whether you can eat it or not, if I invite you too much, I will go bankrupt sooner or later." Xiao Tianming sighed and explained.
When Chen Bailu heard what Xiao Tianming said, she turned from anger to joy and said to Xiao Tianming: "I wonder how long you plan to ask for? For a lifetime?"
"Life is too short, how can it be enough?" Xiao Tianming sighed softly in his heart. Even when he said such love words, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat.
"I don't see it, but you can tell lies better than those lines on TV." Although Chen Bailu spoke lightly, her heart felt like she had drunk honey. I wonder, which woman in this world doesn't like to hear sweet words?
As Xiao Tianming and Chen Bailu talked, they walked into the "Xiang Lai Lai" across the street.
"Welcome!" The young waiter came over quickly and greeted Xiao Tianming and Chen Bailu.
A good service attitude and a clean dining place will always make people feel happy. Only customers who are in a happy mood will be willing to spend money here. It seems that the owner of "Xiang You Lai" has a very thorough understanding of "God".
The business of "Xiang You Lai" is very good, so good that it can hardly be described as "good". Now, there is still half an hour before the standard meal time, but the seats in the lobby are almost occupied. Now,
Xiao Tianming was completely stunned.
"Half of the people here are not here to eat." Chen Bailu said to Xiao Tianming.
"A restaurant is a place to eat. But half of the people are not here to eat? If they are not here to eat, then why are they coming here?" Xiao Tianming's face was full of doubts, hoping to get these doubts from Chen Bailu's mouth.
answer.
"These guests are here to occupy seats," the waiter explained to Xiao Tianming, "to occupy seats for their boss."
Anyone who has attended college or self-study will be familiar with the matter of occupying seats. What Xiao Tianming doesn't understand is how they occupy seats. "You seem to run a restaurant, not a shelter, right? Do you allow them to do so?"
Have you been sitting here all this time?"
"It's precisely because we run a restaurant that we can't drive away the guests. As long as they don't come to cause trouble, we can't drive them away." The waiter sighed and smiled at Xiao Tianming, "However, their actions are average.
Very generous.”
"It seems that generous people are more popular than stingy people wherever they go." Xiao Tianming laughed.
"That's right!" Chen Bailu turned to the waiter and asked, "I wonder if there are any free seats?"
"If it's just the two of you, you can sit at the table by the window." The waiter recommended to Xiao Tianming and Chen Bailu.
Although the table was located in the corner, it was a relatively quiet table. Chen Bailu nodded to the waiter.
"Please!" The waiter led Xiao Tianming and Chen Bailu over with graceful steps.
"Give it to her! This time, I'm only responsible for treating and paying the bill." Xiao Tianming smiled and rejected the menu handed over by the waiter.
"Let's have a piece of pickled fish, a piece of kung pao chicken, a piece of boiled cabbage, and a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. We just need these dishes for now. In addition, you can bring us half a dozen beers." Chen Bailu didn't look at the menu.
He said to the waiter casually.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, both of you." The waiter took the menu and left the table.
"I have been here before, so I am familiar with the food here." Chen Bailu said to Xiao Tianming.
"I see! You just order these home-cooked dishes?" Xiao Tianming asked Chen Bailu.
"You will know when you eat it later. You can basically eat these home-cooked dishes in all restaurants, but you can only eat such delicious home-cooked dishes in 'Xiang You Lai'. Although home-cooked dishes are available in every restaurant,
Restaurants can cook it, but they may not always do it well." Chen Bailu said to Xiao Tianming, "Just like the home-cooked food at Wanfu Hotel will never be the same as the home-cooked food in the Han family."
Xiao Tianming nodded and agreed: "So, the home-cooked food at Wanfu Hotel is not something that ordinary people can afford."
"Although such home-cooked food is delicious, it is not expensive. Only restaurants that are not expensive and have delicious food can attract so many customers." Chen Bailu smiled at Xiao Tianming, "However, too many dishes are also very expensive.
It costs money. I don’t want to make you poor in one go.”
"You really think long-term!" Xiao Tianming sighed and said lightly.
"Only those who think long-term can live comfortably. I am a person who likes to live a comfortable life." Chen Bailu said with a smile.
The dishes were served quickly. Xiao Tianming looked at the steaming pickled fish, smelled the fragrant smell, sighed again, and murmured to Chen Bailu, "I finally understand now."
"What do you understand?" Chen Bailu asked doubtfully.
“I understand now why so many people come to occupy seats. Although I haven’t even touched my chopsticks, my appetite has been aroused by it. When you can really eat such a delicious meal, it’s nothing to waste a few hours to occupy seats.
What." Xiao Tianming said.
"Then eat quickly! As soon as you pick up the chopsticks, start eating." Chen Bailu smiled and handed the chopsticks to Xiao Tianming.
The taste is very good, too good to be described as "good". Every time Xiao Tianming takes a bite of the food, he will regret it in his heart, regretting why he didn't know there was such a place before? If he knew this place before, even if it was open
The sports car was racing on the road all day and night, and Xiao Tianming would come here to eat. Xiao Tianming really couldn't imagine that other than his mother Nangong Yu, there could be anyone in this world who could make home-cooked food so delicious. If he had the chance, he must visit
The chef here.
"Is the home-cooking technique here the best in the world?" Chen Bailu took a bite and put down his chopsticks and asked Xiao Tianming.
"No!" Xiao Tianming shook his head and said to Chen Bailu, "At least, the home-cooked food made by my mother will never be worse than it."
"Auntie knows how to cook? If I have a chance, I would like to try her cooking." Chen Bailu said in surprise and excitement.
Xiao Tianming shook his head at Chen Bailu and said with a wry smile: "Although my mother can cook, she doesn't cook often. Even my dad and I only have a few opportunities to eat her food a year. Because she said the kitchen fumes
It will harm women’s skin and accelerate aging.”
"It seems that my aunt is also good at beauty care! If I have a chance, I will definitely ask her for advice." Chen Bailu said with a smile.
"I don't think you need to ask her for advice. Young girls like you don't need to take care of your beauty. Only older women need to take care of your beauty." Xiao Tianming looked at Chen Bailu and said seriously.
"Well said! Just because of your words, I will have a beer with you." Chen Bailu smiled brightly when she heard Xiao Tianming's words. Before Xiao Tianming could react, Chen Bailu had already picked up a bottle of beer and was looking after herself.
He drank on his own initiative.
Soon, a bottle of beer had entered Chen Bailu's stomach. A delicate blush appeared on Chen Bailu's face.
Xiao Tianming shook his head helplessly. He found that he now liked the girl who was sitting opposite and doing things carelessly. Xiao Tianming carefully looked at the girl opposite. Compared with the girl who was wearing hot and revealing clothes when school started,
At this time, Chen Bailu was much more "reserved". It seemed that she had not heard of herself calling herself "Miss" for a long time.
"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought!" Chen Bailu rolled her eyes charmingly, interrupting Xiao Tianming's meditation.
"I was wondering when you learned to drink?" Xiao Tianming made up a lie casually, his face neither blushed nor his heart beat.
"I can't remember clearly. It was probably when I was in elementary school!" Chen Bailu said to Xiao Tianming, "Many men are against women drinking, saying that women who can drink are bad. Do you know why?"
Xiao Tianming shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
"Because men are worried that we women will drink, and it will not be so easy to get us drunk. Therefore, I learned to drink at a very young age. A woman who cannot drink is usually very dangerous." Chen Bailu smiled at Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming did not refute, because Chen Bailu's words seemed to make sense.
"Do you know why I asked you to treat me to dinner?" Chen Bailu asked Xiao Tianming again.
Xiao Tianming still shook his head, saying that he still didn't know.
"Because I want to get to know you. You give me the impression that you are a transparent person who cannot see through. Every time, I feel that I have seen through you, but in fact I have not." Chen Bailu looked at Xiao Tianming and discovered that this boy actually looks taller.
Quite handsome.
Can a transparent person not see through it? Are people who cannot see through it considered a transparent person? This seems to be a convoluted question.
"Do you know who is easiest to see through?" Chen Bailu asked again.
"I don't know!" Xiao Tianming spoke directly this time instead of shaking his head.
"A drunk person. When a person's nerves are paralyzed by alcohol, he will say many things that he would never say and do things that he would never do. So, I am going to make you drunk with wine.
