Chapter 149: People are nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun
Update time:2012-07-16
After sitting down, Liu Jian asked in confusion: "Second brother, what kind of place is this? Why didn't I even see the plaque? If you hadn't led me, I wouldn't have thought this was a restaurant."
Gu Yongheng smiled and said: "Beijing is too big. Many really good places are in this semi-hidden state. Without certain levels and relationships, they cannot be found. Let's just talk about this hotel.
It was inherited from the imperial dining room. After Taizu founded the country, he didn’t like the food cooked by these old people, so he kicked them out. In order to make ends meet, they opened a restaurant. Later, several senior officials from Conglong liked them very much.
I asked them to drive here to cook the food. It must be said that this was also the residence of a minister of the former Qing Dynasty."
Liu Jian sighed, he didn't expect such a small restaurant to have so many things to say.
Gu Yongheng went on to tell: "Later on, the reputation of this place gradually spread, because the people who came here were all high-ranking officials from Conglong, and many people came here from time to time in order to get close to them. Gradually, a custom was formed, and it didn't matter at all.
People with connections can't even get through the door, let alone eating."
Liu Jian nodded and understood, but still asked with some doubts: "Second brother, how is the food here? Brother, I am a glutton. I like to satisfy my appetite. I eat a lot of food from all over the country."
Gu Yongheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, when I come here, they will definitely let the chef cook it, but the snacks you eat outside are much better."
Liu Jian smiled and didn't say anything, but he still doubted that this place was just a famous place. He had also eaten Manchu and Han banquets, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, and Northeastern cuisine. These two major cuisines, how could it be better here?
Where to go.
When Gu Yongheng saw Liu Jian's expression, he knew that he didn't believe it. He pointed at his little brother in a funny way and said: "You, you will soon know why I brought you here. Only here can you eat authentic Beijing cuisine."
.”
Sure enough, after a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes, first eight cold dishes, and then hot dishes one after another.
When the food was almost ready, a waiter came into the private room with a jar of wine and said to Gu Yongheng: "Young Master Gu, this is what Boss Tan ordered to serve you, the sixty-year-old daughter's red."
When it came to wine, Liu Jian's eyes lit up. The good guy's 60-year-old wine, if it were true, would be much better than the rock laojiao he boasted about.
Gu Yongheng opened the wine, poured a bowl for Liu Jian and himself, and said: "Xiao Jian, second brother, I don't drink much. I know that you Northeastern people value deep feelings. Today I will risk my life to accompany you."
.”
After saying that, he drank it gurglingly.
Needless to say, Liu Jian drank the entire bowl, put down the wine bowl, and said, "Good wine, this is really good wine."
Gu Yongheng suppressed his discomfort and said: "Come on, Xiao Jian, try these dishes, and you will know that what I said is true."
Liu Jian opened his mouth without any courtesy and started eating fiercely. When he put down his chopsticks, he saw Gu Yongheng looking at him in surprise.
Liu Jian asked doubtfully: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Gu Yongheng shook his head and said: "Someone always told me before that they drank a lot of wine and ate meat. I thought it was a fiction in the book. I didn't expect to see it today. You have such a good appetite."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Second brother, do you know what is most important in life?"
Gu Yongheng didn't say anything. A hundred people would definitely have a hundred answers to this question.
Liu Jian continued: "In my opinion, eating and drinking are the most important words."
Gu Yongheng looked at Liu Jian in confusion.
Liu Jian took a piece of food and put it in his mouth and said: "A person's life is nothing more than eating, drinking and sleeping. There is no need to ask for a place to sleep, as long as you have a place to live, you won't die. But you can't lose this mouth.
No matter how many great things you have done or how many amazing achievements you have done, at the end of the day you still have to eat and drink, you have to fill your stomach. It can be said that our life is nothing more than to satisfy this mouth. If this mouth can't work, then what else is there in life?
necessary?"
Gu Yongheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are talking heresy."
Liu Jian smiled and said, "I know that too, but now I really don't care about making money, career, etc. I just want to eat well, drink well, and of course have fun if I can. Of course I am satisfied with these things."
After meeting the conditions, if you can become the richest man or something like that, then you will be satisfied."
Gu Yongheng almost spit out his drink and said with a smile: "You are living like a pig. You still want to be the richest man like this. What kind of richest man do you want to be?"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "I am now the richest man in a prefecture-level city. It is estimated that it will not be long before I will be the richest man in the province. If I work hard to become the richest man in the country, it will not be a problem. I just don't know if I can become the richest man in the world."
Already."
Gu Yongheng groaned, looked at this little brother in surprise, and asked in surprise: "How much money do you have now?"
Liu Jian made an estimate and said: "It's not much more than that. It's about one billion."
Gu Yongheng was really shocked this time. When he saw Liu Jian not caring about the antique canopy bed, he guessed that Liu Jian must be rich, but he didn't expect it to be such a big sum in Beijing.
, this is an incredible number.
Gu Yongheng asked: "How come you have so much money? It's not that easy to make money, right?"
Although Gu Yongheng doesn't know how difficult it is to run a business, his monthly salary is only more than a thousand yuan. Of course, other income does not count, but it is only more than a thousand yuan. He can live a good life in Beijing, but of course he can't mention the cost of living.
How nice, but at least he has no worries about food and clothing. Liu Jian actually has assets of more than one billion, which is an astronomical figure personally.
Liu Jian smiled and recounted the process of his family's fortune in detail. Gu Yongheng closed his eyes. This sounded like a novel. He made his fortune too fast. Although there were some mistakes, it was not illegal. It was just one step.
I walked up in one step, but this pace was a bit fast, like running.
After Liu Jian finished speaking, he said: "Second brother, making money is really not a problem for me, but when money becomes a bunch of numbers, it loses its original meaning. What is important to me now is not making money."
Money is about enjoying life. Besides enjoying life, I am also thinking of ways to promote my career. So I say eating and drinking are the most important thing."
Gu Yongheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your idea is not right, but it is indeed a very suitable attitude towards life for you. Xiaojian, don't you want to go into politics and do something that will be of great benefit?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "I don't have that much ability. It's good if I can take care of myself now. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to do something, but forget about being an official. The intrigues are too tiring, so I will still be honest.
If you are willing to deal with me, you can be my glutton."
Having said that, Liu Jian is still a little confused. He has too many secrets in his heart, which can even affect the course of the Chinese nation. But he can't say these things, and he doesn't know who to say them to.
