() Suddenly, Xue Xiang smiled, "Waiter, didn't you hear the guest's question?"
Director You wants to fight, so Xue Laosan naturally has no reason to retreat. As the saying goes, no matter what, it can only be done by three, but here, it is no more than two! Lao Youtou is going through this wave after wave. If he doesn't fight back,
Don't waste the little bit of popularity you've managed to gather so easily.
The red-clothed waiter must have seen the world to be able to serve in this private room. Moreover, there is no need to think about the background of the people at this table. He just saw his boss slapping himself in front of the young man who spoke in front of him.
He is a big shot...
Since it is a matter between important people, we have to handle it carefully, so that no one will suffer the same fate if we don't handle it well. Therefore, the waiter made up his mind to tell the truth, and he should not say anything that should not be said, and report it immediately.
Several wine names include Chivas Regal Twelve Years Old, Royal Salute, Hennessy, and Jack Daniels.
After all, the Pearl is the financial center of the Far East. Although it does not have the dignity of future generations, the moment the country opens, a surge of imported products naturally flows here first. Even Xue Xiang did not expect that this Chinese restaurant really has
Foreign wines, all from reputable brands.
After the waiter finished reporting, Director You turned his head and smiled at Xue Xiang: "Comrade Xue Xiang, what do you think?"
"You order, you order, just order. As you said, I'm treating you. There's no reason why you shouldn't order wine when treating guests."
Xue Xiang was still smiling, with a white face so handsome that Director You wanted to take a shoehorn and stamp it on it...
"It's up to guests to do as they please, and I shouldn't open my mouth casually, but who said we haven't seen the world? Today I have no choice but to borrow your inspiration from Comrade Xue Xiang and open up the world of foreign meat!"
Director You chuckled and asked the waiter about the nature and price of the four foreign wines. After the waiter introduced them one by one, Director You ordered a bottle of Jack Daniel's priced at 338.
In the first few years after the country opened its doors, there were no bargains for anything with a foreign name, and Jack Daniel's was already selling for a lot of money abroad.
But he said that Director You would order it. Then he smiled and asked everyone if anyone wanted more. At this moment, everyone was stunned by the bottle of foreign wine that was worth half a year's salary. Who dared to pick up the fight?
Director You saw everyone's expressions and was very satisfied. "Haha, it's just a bottle of wine. You can order it if you want. If it's inconvenient for Comrade Xue Xiang, you can cook this meal for me instead!"
Everyone almost felt sick after listening to Director You's words of getting an advantage and acting like a good boy. Who didn't know that this old guy was notoriously stingy? During the dinner in the inspection office, they never saw this guy pay once, but
I've never seen him less, he's always eaten up, slapped his ass and left. At this moment, I really don't know how he had the nerve to say this.
"Comrades, who else wants it? It's okay. You can order as much as you want!"
Xue Xiang followed Director You's words and asked, but when no one answered, he ordered a large bottle of Royal Salute.
After the waiter wrote down a list of drinks, he turned around and went out. Not long after, he saw three waiters bringing six bottles of wine to the table on a tray, including four bottles of Maotai, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, and a bottle of wine.
Bottle Royal Salute.
After the wine was served, the banquet began. The waiter opened the bottle and after six bottles of wine, he walked out the door in small steps.
Director You poured himself a glass of Jack Daniel's, took a sip first, held the drink in his mouth, and made a smacking sound.
But Xue Laosan stopped everyone who was about to pour Maotai, took the bottle of Royal Salute, stood up and poured half a cup for everyone.
When he ordered the Royal Salute earlier, he ordered this large bottle, so that everyone could have a taste. Little did he know that these people who had not followed Director You's advice and asked for foreign wine were just to give themselves face. After all,
Regardless of whether the foreign gadgets are good or not, ordinary people are still happy to eat foreign food.
Because of the previous turmoil, the meal was quite delicious but Xue Xiang raised the cup from time to time, invited everyone to drink, and even had two glasses with Director You with a smile. This attitude made everyone feel happy.
In addition, it made Director You even more disgusting.
Even Director You was complaining in his heart, just hoping that this guy was just showing off, because he didn't believe that someone would not feel bad for spending more than a thousand yuan on a meal.
After Xue Xiang toasted to everyone in the room one by one, he took the wine glass and went to the two private rooms next door. He also drank with the staff of the three departments in the inspection room. While drinking, he also remembered
Write down everyone’s face and name.
It is true to say that this wine is the best medicine to adjust the atmosphere and exhale the blood.
In the main box, everyone was previously depressed because of Director You's disrespect for the elderly. However, after several rounds of toasts, the atmosphere at the wine table became completely lively.
The four bottles of Moutai that were served earlier were all gone early. The table was filled with men and women, all of whom were wine country generals. In addition, the wine was familiar to them, and they were very energetic. They had already thought about saving money for Director Xue.
Afterwards, everyone opened their mouths to drink. The wine was like entering a bottomless pit. Just the leaders of the inspection room alone served eight more bottles in a row. Counting the previous four bottles, it was a full dozen.
The other two boxes did not suffer the embarrassment of the main box, and Director Xue had no airs and came down to toast in person. The atmosphere was even more fiery, and Maotai was treated like water. A total of sixteen bottles were consumed in the two boxes.
The atmosphere at the wine table was lively, and Director You's old face was red and smiling.
Director You is not happy because he left behind a bottle of valuable foreign wine. To be honest, if he hadn't lost face, he would have smashed the Denny's against the wall, grabbed a bottle of Maotai and started drinking.
.
In Director You's opinion, that wine tastes exactly like horse urine. Although he has never drunk horse urine, the spicy, strong and sour smell of the wine completely conveys the feeling of horse urine.
Intention to urinate.
Although the wine tasted bad, Director You's mood was getting better and better, because he felt very happy when he saw the table full of Moutai being poured down cup after cup.
He believed that when the time came to settle the bill, Director Xue, who was always calm and calm, would have a very good-looking face, and he was confident that at this moment, Director Xue, who always had a smile on his face, was really bleeding from his heart.
Therefore, Director You was extraordinarily amiable tonight. He actually put down his arrogance and clinked glasses with everyone at the same table. Not only that, he actually held the glasses and also followed Xue Xiang's example and went to the other two rooms to toast.
Although he, Director You, only touched his lips, all the staff in the inspection room who had a drink drank it all. Occasionally, those who were praised by Director You would go out of their way to drink more in return.
Looking at the wine bottles poured on the floor, Director You was satisfied, really satisfied. There were actually forty empty Maotai bottles in the three rooms. He threw away the three bottles that Xue Xiang had drunk when he was toasting, and the remaining
Everyone, almost one person drank a bottle.
Forty bottles of Moutai, if I remember correctly, cost nine yuan a bottle, which is nearly four hundred yuan. Including three tables of banquets and two bottles of foreign wine, after a rough calculation, this meal actually consumed enough A total of one thousand three hundred and four hundred!
"Let's see how the one named Xue ends up!" Director You muttered in his heart, then returned to the main seat and sat down, closing the door to relax and wait for the end.
Director You didn't wait long. Half an hour later, the three "battlefields" stopped fighting at the same time.
It seems that the wine bottles were poured all over the floor, but no one in the entire inspection room was drunk at all. This amount was nothing to them, a group of masters from the Liquor Country. It was almost enough to store and release. At this level, they look red in the face and look drunk, but in fact they are very sober in their minds.
Everyone stopped to pour their glasses, and with a click, Director You opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling, but he heard him shout: "Waiter!"
The red-clothed waiter from earlier jumped in and walked quickly to Director You, bowing and saying: "Leader, what else do you need to add?"
Director You waved his hand proudly, "I won't add any more. Let's calculate how much our three tables spent in total!"
As soon as Director You finished speaking, the waiter opened his mouth and reported the amount of money: "One thousand four hundred and fifty two dollars and five cents, boss!"
To elaborate, it is already 1982. With the development of the economy and the smooth flow of logistics, many bills have withdrawn from people's production and life, such as ordinary vegetable stamps and cloth stamps, which have basically begun to be gradually cancelled, but grain stamps , cooking oil is still relatively tight. Even in the most developed pearl, ordinary people still have to follow the ticket economy to eat and have banquets, that is, they need to pay food stamps.
But there are some places that are exceptions. For example, the Juyuan Hotel, which has only been open for two years, is a Sino-foreign joint venture. Therefore, the Municipal Grain Management Bureau follows the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee and gives special care. No receipt is required to eat here. Therefore, the cost of food here is much higher than outside. However, many people from the compound are still willing to come here to dine. For no other reason than that they don’t need a receipt. It’s not that everyone doesn’t have a receipt, but they are the host during the banquet. It was not easy for the person to pay for it himself and then reach out to ask for food stamps from the person being entertained, because at that time, food stamps were theoretically distributed to a certain number of people.
It may be possible for ordinary people to treat guests, but among officials, propriety and face are the most important, so sometimes they would rather spend more money and choose the Juyuan Restaurant that does not require a receipt. Just because of the inclination of the Food and Management Bureau, Juyuan was let go. The business of Yuan Restaurant has improved several times.
However, when the waiter in red announced the amount of money for a meal, which was almost an astronomical figure, the drunken people in the venue felt as if they had been poured cold water on them for nine days. Usually, everyone wakes up in an instant.
The moment they woke up, everyone's eyes were focused on the mess on the table and the wine bottles on the floor. Only now did everyone realize how much they had eaten in this meal.
Director You noticed everyone's condition, but he felt as happy as drinking honey water.
"Where's Director Xue?"
The person who suddenly spoke was Liu Xiaohan. At this moment, Section Chief Liu was blaming herself. Although she didn't drink much wine, she was the initiator and planner of the dinner. She saw a meal and ate it out of her own year's salary. It was too much, how could she feel better? The first thing she wanted to do was suggest to Xue Xiang that everyone should be responsible for sharing an equal share. She thought it wouldn't be difficult. (To be continued.)
