Soon, Secretary Wang came over with his colleagues.
"Brother Mu, this is my friend, Lao He." Secretary Wang only introduced his colleague's surname, but not his full name.
Chai Yan did not ask further questions and immediately called out politely: "Brother He."
After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down.
Secretary Wang smiled and asked: "Brother Mu, do you live near here?"
Chai Yan immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, my wife and I bought a house nearby and moved here not long ago."
"I bought a house nearby? Could it be..." Secretary Wang was slightly surprised, and turned to look at his colleague Lao He.
Lao He asked in surprise: "Brother Mu, could the house you bought be the Huguangju?"
"That's right!" Chai Yan nodded his head and asked curiously in surprise: "Brothers, how did you know?"
Secretary Wang smiled hoarsely and said: "Brother Mu, to tell you the truth, we are not very familiar with this neighborhood. Your family is the only new resident who has moved in these days, and you have also changed it to such a conspicuous door plaque. We don't think so.
You know it’s hard to be afraid... right, Lao He?”
Lao He nodded and said: "Lao Wang is right, Brother Mu, how did you buy that house?"
Secretary Wang was also very puzzled and wanted to ask questions when he suddenly saw Fugui walking over with a smile on his face. He immediately frowned, pointed at Fugui and said: "Brother Mu, could it be that this guy tricked you into buying it?
?”
Seeing the sudden change in Mr. Wang's expression, Fugui pointed at him and stopped about ten feet away from the table.
Immediately afterwards, Fugui asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you guys..."
Chai Yan hurriedly pressed Secretary Wang's hand and said, "Brother Wang, don't get me wrong. Fugui didn't lie to me. He told me clearly about the situation of this house. I decided to buy it myself!"
"Ah?" Secretary Wang was very surprised.
Lao He looked at Chai Yan in confusion.
When Fugui heard what he was talking about, he hurried over and explained: "Two gentlemen, Mr. Mu came here and looked at several houses but was not satisfied. He only liked the current Huguangju. The little one is indeed
He explained the situation truthfully."
Just now, Fugui had secretly observed them while adding dishes at the counter. With his eyesight as a dentist for many years, he could tell that these two people surnamed Wang were definitely not ordinary people.
"Really?" Secretary Wang still didn't believe it.
Chai Yan affirmed: "Brother Wang, Fugui did talk about the situation of the house, but my wife and I both like this house very much. As for the haunted house, you may believe it or not! You see, we have lived here for so many years
God, isn't it nothing?..."
Fugui stood aside and nodded repeatedly to what Chai Yan said.
Secretary Wang looked at Lao He and then said: "What Brother Mu said makes sense. If you believe it, you have it. If you don't believe it, you don't have it!"
Lao He also nodded in agreement.
Fugui also laughed and echoed: "That's right, that's right..."
Then, when Fugui saw nothing on the table, he turned around and said, "Man, where's the wine? Why hasn't the wine been served yet?"
Although the waiter said "come right away" from a distance, Fugui still ran to the counter and got the wine. After all, it was most embarrassing for him to sit like this, so he might as well act more lively.
After the food was served, the four of them started eating.
Suddenly, Lao He asked: "Brother Mu, I heard Lao Wang say that you met at the gambling house last night?"
Chai Yan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I went for a walk last night when I had nothing to do. As I was walking, I saw the signboard of Xingyuan Casino. I saw a lot of people coming in and out, so I wanted to see the excitement, but no
I think it was quite interesting to play a few games...but it's a pity that I didn't have good luck, right, Brother Wang..."
"That's right! Not only is it not very good, it's almost as bad as it gets..."
When talking about gambling, Secretary Wang, who usually doesn't talk much, started to talk.
For the next quarter of an hour, Secretary Wang was frothing at the mouth as he recounted what happened last night.
Chai Yan would smile and cater from time to time, making Lao He shake his head or laugh.
Fugui is very self-aware. He just listens quietly and will never interrupt if no one asks.
After dinner, Secretary Wang took Lao He and left, saying that he still had things to do. Before leaving, Secretary Wang specifically reminded Chai Yan not to forget the agreement three days later.
After leaving the restaurant, Fugui had a chance to talk. He kindly advised: "Mr. Mu, it's not that you can't go to Xingyuan Gambling House, but gambling in small amounts will harm your health, so you should take it easy!"
But Chai Yan smiled and said nothing, as if he didn't take Fugui's words seriously.
Fugui didn't feel like saying anything when he saw this, he just sighed secretly in his heart.
-----------------------
In the evening, two guests came to Huguangju, one was Chen Xiang and the other was Yang Chengyi.
As soon as Yang Chengyi entered the door, he began to clarify to Chai Yan and Yuan that he was not the one who came here, but that his boss was worried that Chen Xiang would be unsafe if he returned too late, so he was specially sent to escort her.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, come and help!" Chai Yan heard Yang Chengyi say it several times, and his ears became calluses.
Yang Chengyi then stopped talking and hurriedly followed Chai Yan's instructions.
Before it got dark, a circle of lanterns had been hung in the courtyard of Huguangju. Chai Yan went shopping in the afternoon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the barbecue party is about to begin!"
With a shout, Chai Yan and Yang Chengyi came out carrying the barbecue grill.
At this point, the rack has been lined with burning silver carbon, and now you only need to place the skewers on them and grill them.
Chen Xiang and Yu Yuan were chatting and laughing in the yard while threading meat on iron picks. When they saw the grand debut of the barbecue grill, they immediately cast their eyes on it.
Chai Yan has a bit of a barbecue master's style. He stands next to the barbecue grill, fanning the cattail leaf fan to control the fire, flipping the meat skewers on the shelf, and applying some oil and various seasonings from time to time. At this time, the yard
The smell of barbecue is already everywhere...
Yang Chengyi looked at the attractive meat skewers and swallowed his saliva countless times.
"Come, come, take a look, don't miss it when passing by, fresh and delicious kebabs..."
Suddenly, Chai Yan imitated the accent of the Xinjiang people and started shouting loudly. The atmosphere suddenly became interesting, making Yuanyuan and Chen Xiang laugh.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
When Yang Chengyi ate the meat skewers, he could no longer take back the surprised expression on his face.
Chen Xiang and Yuan Yuan were also full of praise and spoke highly of Chai Yan's skills as a barbecue master.
Yang Chengyi looked at the vegetables and fruits in the basket while eating and asked: "How to eat these?"
Chai Yan raised his eyebrows proudly and said loudly: "Haven't you heard a sentence?"
"What words?" Yang Chengyi asked.
"Everything can be roasted! Hahaha..." Chai Yan burst out laughing after saying this.
