Xu Yun really didn't expect that just across the Pacific Ocean, there would actually be a bar here that opened early in the morning.
I really don’t understand why Americans like drinking so much. There are more bars on the roadside than hotels. Are there so few people renting rooms? It’s really incomprehensible.
But if you think about it carefully, after all, our country is open, and even the school dormitories are mixed for men and women. When you go out to find a room, you can finish it in the dormitory. Moreover, Americans like those kind of spacious cars, and big pickup trucks run all over the streets, which is shocking.
It is convenient to have a car and so on. Perhaps it is for this reason that the small hotel industry here is underdeveloped.
The reason why bars are developed is much simpler. The unemployed can also receive subsistence allowances. The more idle and lazy a guy is, the more he likes to drink and smoke. Of course, smoking is not smoking, it is smoking marijuana. Marijuana is something like this.
, it’s relatively easy to get in American bars.
Getting some marijuana here is different from that in China. The people in China have so many difficulties. They are basically struggling to make ends meet. Those who can have a house to live in, a car to drive, and two savings are all considered to be relatively well-off.
Now that you're home, how can you have the spare money to smoke marijuana?
Those who can afford to smoke marijuana must at least have two bucks, right? At least they are gangsters who can easily make money, or those in the entertainment industry who can easily make money, or they are nouveau riche who don’t know what money is.
It's different in the United States. It's easy for middle school students to get some marijuana. They run to the bathroom after class and smoke two puffs of marijuana, just like Chinese middle school students take two puffs of cigarettes. So even the poor in the United States still have ways to buy marijuana.
I still have some spare money.
They can even afford to smoke marijuana, let alone drink. Some idle and lazy drunkards even go to the bar early in the morning and drink until late at night before going home drunk and going to bed.
Although Bai Xiaoye was coaxed by Xu Yun on the surface, he was irritated in his heart, so he directly opened the door of a small bar and walked in. Xu Yun had no choice but to follow him, because he really felt sorry for the money in his pocket.
I'm really worried about Bai Xiaoye drinking this kind of boring and irritating wine.
It is definitely a famous saying that drinking to relieve sorrow makes sorrow worse. Xu Yun has personal experience. He can be sure of this. The more troublesome things happen, the easier it is to get drunk.
But the more troublesome they are, people tend to use alcohol to anesthetize themselves. It seems that this kind of anesthesia can temporarily make people forget the depression and irritability in their hearts. However, they forget that this can only solve the problem.
It's just a momentary irritability.
"Whiskey, for two." Bai Xiaoye sat down in front of the bar and knocked on the countertop.
The bar owner was a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifty years old, with a long beard and some white hair. He quickly took two wine glasses in front of Xu Yun and Bai Xiaoye, and skillfully poured them into both glasses.
The amount of wine for one person was about half a tael, and he also took out an ice bucket and placed it in front of the two of them, indicating that they could help themselves if they wanted to add ice.
Before Xu Yun could sit down, Bai Xiaoye drank the wine in one gulp. It was too easy to drink sip after sip.
"Boss, can you pour more?" Bai Xiaoye said.
"You said it was for two people." The middle-aged boss tilted his head and shrugged: "Just pour half a cup?"
"Fill it up," Bai Xiaoye said. The two hundred and fifty milliliter whiskey glass was only half a catty full.
The bar owner smiled, and he could see that this Asian girl must be thoughtful, so he filled Bai Xiaoye's glass directly.
"Drink less." Xu Yun didn't know Bai Xiaoye's drinking capacity, and he really didn't dare to let her drink more. He didn't know what to do if she drank too much: "Don't show off if you don't drink well."
After saying that, Xu Yun also drank all the wine in his glass.
The bar owner stood opposite Xu Yun with a bottle of wine, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be asking him if he also wanted to fill it up.
Xu Yun was more direct: "Just give me the bottle."
"I have never sold whole bottles of wine in my store." The boss was a little surprised. He didn't know how to charge for this.
Americans are really bad at math. Xu Yun has heard about it for a long time. It is said that if a Chinese buys a pack of cigarettes for US$70 in the United States and the Chinese sells the cigarettes US$120, he has no idea what the other person means.
It would have been fine if he had just asked him to give him fifty dollars in change. Instead, he thought that the Chinese had a bad mind. He first returned the twenty dollars to the Chinese, and then in a serious manner gave the Chinese thirty dollars in change, thinking that this was the only way.
is correct.
It seems that the boss here is the same way. He probably taught primary school mathematics by an art teacher.
"How much does it cost for one serving? Looking at the measurement of the wine you poured just now, one serving is about 25 ml. This bottle contains 750 ml of bourbon. In other words, one bottle of wine can serve 30 people.
Son." Xu Yun said: "So you will forget it, right? If you pay one dollar per person, this bottle is thirty dollars."
The bar owner listened clearly, but he still didn't understand it in the end. But he didn't bother to think too much, so he just gave it to thirty people if he wanted to. Because he felt that he had never had a bottle
When the wine can serve thirty people...
When Xu Yun was teaching the American uncle the simplest mathematics of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Bai Xiaoye had already downed a whole glass of wine.
"There's no need to drink like this, Chou." Xu Yun quickly stopped Bai Xiaoye from grabbing the bottle with him: "I'll accompany you, and we'll drink slowly. It's just this bottle, no one will drink too much."
"Xu Yun, are you my brother? Why are you so stingy? A bottle of wine? Who can drink it? That's all, I don't want your brother." Bai Xiaoye also used the provoking method: "
If you want to be my brother, then be more generous."
Xu Yun smiled bitterly, he also wanted to be bold! But that requires capital. If there is nothing to do and is very leisurely, and Bai Xiaoye says she wants to drink, he will definitely take her to the lounge on the top floor of Xingkai to have a good drink.
Firstly, you don’t have to worry about suddenly having something to do, and secondly, you don’t have to worry about not having enough money in your pocket.
That's not possible now. You should at least save enough money for the flight home, right? You can't go back to Canada and ask Celine to borrow money to buy a plane ticket, right? He's such a big man that he really can't open his mouth.
"Okay, take care of yourself, that's it." Xu Yun had no choice but to pour some more wine for Bai Xiaoye. Now he had to watch her carefully and couldn't let her drink without restraint.
…
However, in the blink of an eye, three or five bottles of whiskey were drunk, and Xu Yun couldn't hold it anymore. He was upset! No matter who it was, if he knew that his father gave birth to him, he threw it to others, and he would be happy by himself.
, no one feels comfortable.
Xu Yun had been holding back just now because he felt that he was a man, and Bai Xiaoye had already been hit by this incident and was very vulnerable. He didn't want to show anything anymore.
But after three or two glasses of wine, Xu Yun's psychological defense collapsed. He was also upset and uncomfortable. Who could he talk to? Apart from talking to his sister Bai Xiaoye, he had no one to talk to.
Who can you tell this kind of thing to? Who wouldn’t laugh at you if you tell me?
It's okay to tell Bai Xiaoye, but who knows that Xu Yun's father is also Bai Xiaoye's father? They really feel that they are in the same boat.
Fortunately, they are all masters. Although alcohol has an impact, it does not make them unable to control themselves like ordinary people. The bar owner, who is a good drinker, was impressed by the drinking capacity of these two people and drank until noon.
, there were already seven empty wine bottles around the two of them.
Xu Yun also enlightened Bai Xiaoye, but now it is Bai Xiaoye's turn to enlighten Xu Yun: "Brother, it's better that you haven't seen him since you were a child. Out of sight, out of mind. I think this is good now.
It’s better to have such a father than not! Come on, let’s go with another one.”
"Come on! Let's go!" Xu Yun raised his wine glass with a smile, yes, out of sight, out of mind! From now on, he will pretend that he is not such an old man!
