After a while, the box door was knocked and plates of food were brought out.
Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui started eating with big mouthfuls. The more Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui ate, the happier the middle-aged man became. His mutton had added ingredients, otherwise it would be impossible to attract so many repeat customers.
"Master Liu, you two eat slowly, I'll get some more dishes." The middle-aged man bent down slightly and said.
Liu Zhihui waved his hand, and then the middle-aged man went out.
Zhou Weiguo smiled, and when he saw the man turning around to go out, he added, "I don't know how long it will be before I see you after today. You should eat more. You won't have so much meat to eat in the water."
"That's right!" Liu Zhihui nodded.
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, frowned. The mutton was extremely delicious, and the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat it. Then he thought of poppies, and his eyes narrowed. If this was really what he thought, then this store would have such repeat customers.
It is not difficult to do so. In later generations, it was common for certain restaurants to use poppy shells to enhance the flavor of dishes. But in fact, according to the regulations, some parts of the poppy are edible, but it is poppy seed oil, which is obtained from inactivated
Extracted from poppy seeds, the poppy seeds themselves do not contain any addictive toxins and have preventive and auxiliary therapeutic effects on human diseases. However, poppy shells are prohibited. In the chef circle, poppy shells are used to
Preparing vegetables for freshness is a matter that everyone knows by convention.
Seeing Zhou Weiguo not eating, Liu Zhihui was confused for a moment and put down his chopsticks, but said nothing. He just looked at Zhou Weiguo with doubts in his eyes.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and signaled not to eat.
Liu Zhihui looked at the table full of meat and felt a little pity. He opened his eyes wide and wondered again. Seeing that Zhou Weiguo still shook his head, he put down his chopsticks. The two of them had been playing together since childhood, and they knew what the other was going to do with just one look.
Although Liu Zhihui was confused, he still didn't ask and waited for Zhou Weiguo to speak.
"Oh, I suddenly forgot that I have an appointment with someone right now!" Zhou Weiguo said, pretending to be annoyed.
Liu Zhihui rolled his eyes at Zhou Weiguo, but still cooperated and said, "What, is the matter important?"
"Well, it's the intelligence about the Japs." Zhou Weiguo added, "I just got an intelligence yesterday, saying that the Japs are upset now. They originally wanted to unite with Zhu Huaibing's 97th Army to fight against the Eighth Route Army, but they were beaten by the Eighth Route Army.
When they broke up, the Japanese blew their noses angrily and stared."
Liu Zhihui really didn't know about this, "What's going on?"
"It's not the chairman's plan. We don't want another political party with the same strength as the Kuomintang to appear in China. You have also seen the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party over the years. At the end of last year, they started fighting again." Zhou Weiguo smiled. With these news, he said
Naturally, all the commanders of the independent division know this.
"I have heard about this." Liu Zhihui nodded, "The 97th Army really united with the Japs?"
"Yes, we did collude with the Japs to attack the Eighth Route Army's base in the Taihang Mountains." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "But they were repulsed. The Japs lost both their wives and their troops."
"That's it." Liu Zhihui nodded.
"Okay, no more words, I have to leave first." Zhou Weiguo stood up and looked at his watch.
"Hey, hey, you still have to pay the bill!" Liu Zhihui stood up and grabbed Zhou Weiguo.
"Okay, you just ate quite a lot, so if you don't miss this, I'll treat you again when I get the chance next time." Zhou Weiguo said nonchalantly.
As a result, at this moment, the box door was knocked again.
"Please come in."
The owner of the mutton restaurant brought someone to serve the food again. Seeing Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui both standing up, he smiled and said, "Why are you all standing up? Mr. Liu, what are you doing?"
"Oh, this guy suddenly remembered that he had an appointment!" Liu Zhihui pointed at Zhou Weiguo in a funny way, "So, we won't eat so much today, so we won't serve these dishes. We'll pay the bill and leave."
The middle-aged man didn't know that such an accident had happened, "I see, I was so scared that I thought the food in the store was not delicious!" But he was secretly regretful that the dish that had just been served had more ingredients.
.
"Hey, next time, next time." Liu Zhihui waved his hand, "Boss, look at how much today's food is!"
"Hey, Mr. Liu, you are such a bad guy!" The middle-aged man slapped his thigh, "If I had known earlier that you were an officer and soldier of the Independent Division, I would not have accepted your money. I would have apologized for today's meal.
!”
"Go, go, go." Liu Zhihui was dissatisfied, "Do you think I, Liu, can't afford this meal?"
"Of course not!" the middle-aged man said again, "I want to express my gratitude to the Independent Division! If it weren't for the Independent Division, Jinan City would still be occupied by the Japanese. How could I have such a stable business?
Do."
"Hahaha." Liu Zhihui was still very satisfied after hearing this. Although these words came from the mouth of a Japanese spy, they spoke to Liu Zhihui's heart. The soldiers of the Independent Division were respected by the people no matter where they went.
"Boss, this has nothing to do with his status." Zhou Weiguo said, "When we eat, we naturally have to pay. You should do the math. Today is my fault. I forgot to make an appointment with an important friend.
.”
Seeing what Zhou Weiguo said, the middle-aged man had no choice but to nod, "Well, the dishes that were not served can't be counted as your money. Just give me 150 yuan for what's on the table."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, took out the money from his pocket, and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Now, let's come back next time! Something really happened today! I'm really sorry!"
"Where are the guests?" The middle-aged man was still very polite.
"Okay, boss, we'll come back next time." Liu Zhihui patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, smiled and narrowed his eyes, and then went out.
The middle-aged man's body paused. Liu Zhihui's actions just now frightened him a little. He is also a soldier after all. When Liu Zhihui wanted to pat his shoulder, he almost couldn't hold back and took action. Then he reacted and said respectfully,
"You two go slowly and come back next time!"
Seeing Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui walking downstairs, the middle-aged man also put away his smile and quickly walked to the box next to him. He looked at the two people inside with a cold face, "What happened just now?"
"Hi! The two of them were having dinner just now. The Chinese man who was not wearing military uniform suddenly remembered that he had an appointment and had to leave now, so the two of them left."
"Have you heard any useful information?" the middle-aged man asked, frowning.
"Hey, there are two, no, or three." One person said, thinking about what to say.
"What's the news?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would have information in such a short time. This of course made him overjoyed. He almost thought there would be nothing to gain today. After all, Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui only stayed for ten seconds.
