Sihuang Street is a rare food stall street in Beijing.
Due to noise and pollution problems, Beijing banned all night food stalls more than ten years ago. However, the people and tourists have needs in this regard, so food stall streets have been reopened in specific areas to regulate management and become a knowledgeable
A favorite place for gourmets to visit.
Many diners firmly believe that authentic food can only be found in places like food stalls.
So-called big hotels and high-end restaurants only serve food to save face.
Putting aside whether this view is correct, there is no doubt that business on Sihuang Street is good, especially at sunset, when all the lights of the shops along the street are turned on, and the rows of red lanterns look extra festive and peaceful.
The entrances of those food stalls and restaurants are filled with tables and chairs, and there are not many empty seats as soon as the meal arrives. The aroma of various delicacies wafts in the air, steamed, boiled, fried, and fried, which makes people feel that life is wonderful.
of!
Sihuang Street is a pedestrian street, so cars can only park in the parking lot outside.
When getting out of the car, Liao Jia took off a pair of sunglasses and put them on himself, and then gave another pair to Lu Chen.
"Take it with you. People like us are no longer ourselves."
Lu Chen pondered the meaning behind his words, but did not refuse his kindness and put on his sunglasses.
The food stall where Liao Jia brought Lu Chen to eat is called "Lao Zhu Sichuan Restaurant". It specializes in authentic Sichuan cuisine and also sells spicy crayfish. The business is more prosperous than the stove in front of the door, and there are a lot of diners.
But there is a small table reserved for them outside.
Liao Jia naturally sat down on the white plastic chair and said with a smile: "Xiao Li knows the boss, so he called in advance to reserve a seat, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find an empty table when he comes now."
Xiao Li is the energetic young man with a crew cut, Liao Jia's assistant and driver, who speaks very little.
Lu Chen sat down opposite him and said with a smile, "Then I want to try the chef's skills."
Xiao Li reached out to summon the waiter. He first asked Liao Jia and Lu Chen for their opinions, and then started ordering.
"Sauerkraut fish, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, Mao Xuewang and five pounds of Ma Xiao, I want a big one!"
After Xiao Li finished ordering, Liao Jia asked Lu Chen: "Are there enough dishes? How about you order a few of your favorites?"
Lu Chen said: "That's enough, thank you, Brother Liao."
Liao Jia smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. If you have a meal with me, you have to drink. How about a beer?"
According to his past temper, if Lu Chen is caught, he will definitely kill Red Star Erguotou.
But he was unhappy with Lu Chen, and he still admired Lu Chen's creative talent and gave him face.
When Liao Jia heard the song "In Spring" by the Wandering Band for the first time, he was really shocked. Later he heard that it was written by a young man in his early twenties. He couldn't believe it.
In this regard, he really felt inferior to Lu Chen and kept looking for opportunities to meet Lu Chen.
As a result, before Lu Chen met in person, he learned about the relationship between Lu Chen and Filia Chen from Tan Hong's mouth.
At that time, Liao Jia really felt like a dog.
In short, Liao Jia's thoughts were very complicated, and it wasn't that he wanted to compete with Lu Chen or be jealous or anything like that. He wasn't such a chicken-hearted person, but he was really unhappy when he was holding his breath and couldn't let it out.
So taking the opportunity of meeting today, he intercepted Lu Chen.
The most important thing is that Liao Jia wants to see what kind of man Filia Chen chooses!
Moreover, Tan Hong specially introduced Lu Chen to him. Apparently he also hoped that the two could become friends.
If you want to be Liao Jia's friend, you can't do it if you don't know how to drink!
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Snap!
Liao Jia snapped his fingers coolly and said, "Brother, bring us two more boxes of Budweiser."
Two boxes of Budweiser were delivered first.
Xiao Li skillfully tore open the seal and took out two bottles of beer, one for Liao Jia and one for Lu Chen.
Liao Jia held the wine bottle and unscrewed the cap, and said to Lu Chen: "Come on, let's blow one bottle first!"
Lu Chen burst into laughter. He also opened his beer and touched the other person's bottle: "Do it!"
He now has an understanding of Liao Jia's temperament.
The evaluation of Liao Jia in the circle is mixed. Unlike Tan Hong, who is respected by everyone, some people think that Liao Jia is easy to deal with and has a straightforward personality and does not play dirty tricks. Others think that he is too arrogant and likes to curse people.
temper.
I saw it today and it certainly lives up to its reputation.
Lu Chen knew that if this kind of person has a good temper, he can become an excellent friend. If he doesn't like him, he will be disgusted no matter what he looks at. Keeping him at a distance is the wisest choice. If he can't offend him, he can't afford to hide.
Liao Jia liked Filia Chen and even pursued her. In the end, he pursued her for ten years without success. If he could still smile and call her brother when he saw Lu Chen, then Lu Chen would definitely hide as far away as possible.
Now he came to Lu Chen to talk directly. His attitude was obviously that he could take it up and let it go, and he didn't have much malice.
But he was definitely still unhappy, and drinking with Lu Chen was nothing more than a way to vent his anger.
If Lu Chen still refuses coquettishly at this time, he will be looking down on others not only because of his lowered status.
So he drank a bottle of it very happily!
Of course, Lu Chen's drinking capacity cannot be compared with that of a real alcoholic, but if he drinks beer with a very low alcohol content, he probably won't have any problem if he drinks until his stomach is full.
Moreover, this kind of hardcover Petite Budweiser is only 330ml, so the pressure is even less.
They each blew a bottle, and Liao Jia was a little satisfied: "Not bad, looks like a man!"
"What I hate the most is those little fresh meats with oily noodles and wilted noodles. Just looking at them makes me want to vomit!"
"One more drink!"
Lu Chen drank three bottles with him without changing his expression.
Liao Jia put down the empty bottle, took a long breath of alcohol and said, "It feels good!"
Lu Chen chuckled, opened another bottle and said, "I give Brother Liao a bottle!"
Don't be disrespectful when you come back!
I respect others as much as I respect them. Although Lu Chen has three rich life memories, he is far more mature than his peers and is calm and collected in situations.
But that doesn't mean he has no temper.
If it were another newcomer, he would definitely be trembling when facing a big brother like Liao Jia, and would not dare to confront him tit for tat.
Lu Chen is not like this.
Standing tall and standing tall without any desire makes him strong. He has nothing to ask for from Liao Jia, so he has no fear in his heart.
If you want to fight for wine, you can't let the other party control the rhythm!
Liao Jia was a little surprised, but there was no way he could show weakness and he opened the bottle without thinking to confront Lu Chen.
Three more bottles went down.
The two of them had a packed lunch for lunch and spent the afternoon filming the music video in the orphanage. By now, their stomachs were already empty. After drinking these six bottles of Budweiser, Liao Jia's face began to turn red and he felt a little drunk.
In contrast, Lu Chen remained calm-faced, just like before.
He never shows shame when he drinks, even when he is drunk.
Liao Jia suddenly had a bad feeling, because he couldn't judge Lu Chen's drinking level at all.
What drinkers fear most is this kind of opponent.
Venting Lu Chen's anger by pouring him down seemed like a wrong choice.
Fortunately, the hot dishes were brought out at this time, and Liao Jia quickly said: "Eat the dishes first."
The craftsmanship of Lao Zhu Sichuan Restaurant is really good. The dishes cooked are authentic, especially the pickled fish. The meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth. It has four distinct flavors: sour, spicy, numbing and fresh. Lu Chen is very satisfied with it.
Also full of praise.
The spicy crayfish is also very good. I peeled and ate a large bowl full of it, and I simply couldn’t stop eating it.
Because he couldn't figure out the details of Lu Chen, Liao Jia no longer fought vigorously for wine with Lu Chen, but slowly fought a war of attrition bottle by bottle. Even so, he did not ask his assistant Xiao Li to help deal with Lu Chen.
After drinking too much, Liao Jia opened up his chatterbox and talked about a lot of things.
They are all old stories, mainly about rock and roll. He and the Black Crowes held a concert at the Capital Workers Stadium, and tens of thousands of rock fans roared in unison. Thinking about it now makes my blood boil.
Now he makes much more money than before, but he can never feel this way again. He doesn't even dare to hold concerts for fear of being scolded by the Chinese rock fans back then.
The betrayer of the country!
Lu Chen drank wine and listened more than he talked. He could feel the hesitation and pain in Liao Jia's heart.
For those rock singers in the past, survival or death was really a big question!
Gradually, more and more empty bottles were placed on the table.
Liao Jia's face was red from drinking, and his tongue was bulging when he talked. Lu Chen was also a little drunk.
"Sir, would you like to order a song?"
At this moment, two young men, a man and a woman, came over. The man was holding a guitar in his arms.
The two looked like a young couple in their early twenties, and their clothes were quite shabby.
There are countless Jingdiao singers living in the capital, and there are quite a few performing on the streets. Those who are capable apply for a license to perform in occupied areas, and there are also such mobile singing, which is relatively lower-level.
Because those who wander around the food stall streets are often not of high quality, and some are even not considered real singers at all.
Liao Jia laughed, took out a large bill from his pocket and handed it over.
"No need to ask for a song, you can lend me your guitar and I will sing it myself!"
This is Liao Jia's uninhibited side. If it were any other big shot, how would he do such a derogatory thing?
But it’s also true nature.
This young singing couple had probably never encountered anything like this before, and they looked at each other in shock.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, your guitar won't be damaged."
He had been on the ground floor and knew that the other party was worried that Liao Jia would damage their guitar when he was drunk.
The other party's guitar isn't too bad, it's worth at least one or two thousand dollars.
Cherishing is normal.
The young man hesitated for a moment, then let his girlfriend take the money and took off the guitar himself.
He was very worried about Liao Jia, who looked like a gangster, but Lu Chen was obviously trustworthy.
Liao Jia took the guitar, tried the sound test very skillfully, and muttered: "You can't even tune it correctly, how can you still sing?"
The young man suddenly turned red in the face.
Liao Jia ignored him, made some adjustments, and then plucked the steel string hard!——
