Chapter one hundred and sixty-ninth rivers and lakes have a way
Chen Shi picked up his phone and took a look. The shopping guide girl sent another message praising him:
Handsome guy, if your handsomeness can convict you, you will be a sinner through the ages.
If you were to be born a thousand years earlier, there would be nothing wrong with Pan An.
If there is a woman in this world who can resist your temptation, don't doubt that no woman except your blood relatives can resist you.
I'm going to pull up the results at the end of the month, can you please support me handsomely?
Chen Shi quickly replied: "Don't deliver to that address in the future. You have no sincerity at all. The shopping guide in the store next door sent me private goods. I have been cold recently and need heat to promote blood circulation."
After posting it, Chen Shi really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. You were so bragging. You were so cold that someone ran away with you. You started talking about sex again. People, you must have some coolness. I
One against six in minutes!
We took a car to the hotel we had booked. It was a time-honored restaurant. Wang Mengmeng said that many people here have been eating here since they were young. It has been open for more than 30 years. There is nothing special about the store, it is just an ordinary restaurant.
But the store was packed. Wang Mengmeng's family booked a private room on the second floor, and Chen Shi went straight to the Treasure Hall on the second floor.
Knocking on the door is actually very particular. Many people don’t pay much attention to it. Knocking once is to remind the people inside. After knocking twice, you can’t keep knocking. Many old people in the north will scold you directly.
, usually this is the only way to knock on the door when announcing a funeral.
The door opened, and Wang Mengmeng was wearing a sky blue princess dress and a pair of crystal-style high heels. It was strange for Chen Shi to see Wang Mengmeng. Her waist and legs were not sore, and she felt like she could fight for another three days and three nights.
Chen Shi's parents and some relatives were present in the house, some of which Chen Shi had not seen last time.
"Xiao Chen, come here, sit here." Wang Mengmeng's grandfather waved, and Chen Shi quickly stepped forward, held his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, you look better and better after not seeing me for a few days."
Grandpa Wang Mengmeng's eyes lit up, he held Chen Shi's hand tightly and said, "The more I see you, the more I like you. If Mengmeng doesn't want to be with you, I will be the first to disagree. There are very few such good young people."
When Wang Mengmeng looked at her grandfather's face and saw Chen Shi's hands and her grandfather's hands tightly clasped together, she understood in her heart that she was giving something to the old man again. The old man actually betrayed her many times, and he was sure it was hers.
Grandpa? Or is his grandma hiding something from him?
"Shitou, let me introduce to you. This is our good friend. Our two families have known each other for decades. You can call him Uncle Fan and call her Aunt Li. These are their children named Fan Jian and Mengmeng.
I have been playing in this restaurant since I was a child. Although the decoration of this restaurant is not very good, the food in this restaurant is excellent. For more than 30 years, the family has been cooking in the kitchen, from grandparents to grandchildren. It is difficult to make a reservation.
, we are old customers and can enjoy the benefit of making an appointment in advance." Wang Mengmeng's mother introduced to Chen Shi.
Fan Jian? This name seems to appear in every novel. I wonder if this person is really a despicable person like those in other novels.
"Yes, at that time we also said that we would get married when they grow up. From childhood to adulthood, we were married on the fingertips. Unexpectedly, Mengmeng already has a boyfriend, and our family is still single."
A middle-aged woman dressed like a lady smiled and said, she was Fan Jian's mother, Li Guihua.
"Yes, these two dolls loved playing together when they were young, but they have become estranged as they grow up." Wang Mengmeng's grandmother laughed.
Grandpa Wang Mengmeng was speechless for a while. What do you mean by this at this time? It’s just a meal. Why are you talking so much nonsense? This is not nonsense.
"There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. Xiao Chen and Mengmeng are a match made in heaven. I feel relieved that Mengmeng has found Xiao Chen. This child lives up to his name, is honest, and is good to his elders. Don't wait any longer.
Now, let’s ask the waiter to serve the food. Xiao Chen, come and let us have a cup of tea first.” Grandpa Wang Mengmeng handed Chen Shi a cup of tea, fully demonstrating his professional ethics.
Using people's money to speak for others, Wang Mengmeng's grandma and grandpa had contacts with Fan Jian's parents. They often accepted gifts from others, but confiscated them themselves. They were minding their own business. If they didn't make trouble at this time, they would be sorry for the little golden beans that Chen Shi had just stuffed to themselves.
"Xiao Chen, what do your parents do?" Fan Jian's father, Fan Weicheng, said after drinking a glass of water. The big gold watch in his hand is eye-catching. It weighs at least three to four hundred grams. It looks thick, no.
I know if I am tired from carrying it.
"My dad~" Chen Shi was suddenly speechless. What do his parents do? They seem to have never had any legitimate profession. Is collecting rent considered a profession? It's a bit of a loss of points?
"My parents do statistics, mainly on housing." Chen Shi said.
"Oh~ I'm a statistician. It's not easy. I have to deal with numbers every day. I have to go to the field for inspections when I have nothing to do. I heard that you are an only child and bought a two-bedroom apartment here. If you want to decorate it, come to me. I can do it.
There is a decoration team down there." Fan Weicheng said.
"Uncle Fan, do you do decoration?" Chen Shi asked curiously.
"That's not true. We, Mr. Fan, are in the real estate business. We have a lot of engineering teams under us. The community that just opened in Xincheng was developed by Mr. Fan." A middle-aged man with a somewhat greasy appearance said.
"How should I call you?" Chen Shi asked the middle-aged man.
"I am Mengmeng's cousin, and I am now working for Mr. Fan. Fan Jian, Mr. Fan's son has just returned from studying abroad to start a business. I just said that Mengmeng should go to work in Fan Jian's company and join him.
Starting a business will ensure a bright future." The middle-aged man said.
"Yes! Mengmeng, it's not better for you to go to work for Xiaojian than to be a teacher. Xiaojian can't treat you badly. I heard Xiaojian just told me what new energy he is doing now. I watched it all on TV.
Now that new energy is good, let Xiaojian give you a position. You two can start a business together. With you, Uncle Fan, the business will grow bigger and bigger." A middle-aged woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sat next to the middle-aged man said.
"Mengmeng, your cousin is right, you listen to your cousin." Grandma Wang Mengmeng said.
"Okay! Let Mengmeng go over and give her the position of vice president, with a starting salary of 20,000 yuan a month." Fan Weicheng said with a big wave of his hand.
"I don't plan to work for the time being. I want to take the teacher's certificate first before I can live. Stop chatting and hurry up and eat." Wang Mengmeng opened the door and let the waiter come in to serve the food. The food in this shop is very fast. You don't have to wait for one dish to come.
Instead, the dishes are served directly to the table. This ensures that all diners eat and drink well, and there is no need for everyone to wait for one dish after another. The basic dishes are all prepared and can be served after being stir-fried.
There are eight hot dishes and eight cold dishes on the table. The plates and portions of each dish are very large, and the dishes are full of color and aroma. The private room is actually not very big. One table takes up almost the entire area, and with the chairs, everyone can sit down.
There was not much room for activities, and there were twelve people at a table, so it was packed to the brim.
Chen Shi picked up a crab for Grandpa Wang Mengmeng. People in Sioux City love crabs very much, and the crabs here are really big. The crabs are as big as two palms put together. The crabs are placed on the big disc in the center.
, stack the Arhats and leave them, otherwise it would be really difficult to put them on the plate.
"Xiao Chen, you should eat too. Only if you are full and drunk can you be worthy of our banquet today. All other things are false. Treating guests and treating guests is not a treat if the guests are not satisfied with their food." Grandpa Wang Mengmeng said, and the two men chatted.
Come on, the main reason is that Fan Jian didn’t give little golden beans to Grandpa Wang Mengmeng.
To be honest, Grandpa Wang Mengmeng’s doing this is almost the same as a magic stick among this group of people. Moreover, the old man first practiced stalls on the roadside. Later, he found a small store and opened a naming shop. Now many people eat in this business.
They all changed the name to Famous Pavilion. After all, you can't write fortune telling on the sign.
"I have some good wine in my car. Fan Jian, go and get it from my trunk. I'm bringing two bottles of Maotai and two bottles of Bordeaux 2014." Fan Weicheng threw his car key to Fan Jian, with a B in the middle of the two wings.
Car keys are so eye-catching.
"I'll go, Mr. Fan." Wang Mengmeng's cousin stood up and said.
"No, let Fan Jian go. He's young, so there's no errand boy who would let an elder go." Fan Weicheng spoke very forcefully, as if whatever he said was settled.
Fan Jian kept silent. He picked up the car keys and went downstairs. After a while, he brought a small wooden box with red wine and white wine in it. The red one was Bordeaux and the white one was Maotai. Both of them were worth two thousand a bottle.
"Open them all. I won't go home until I'm drunk today. It's been a long time since we got together. If our Lao Li hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I was inviting this young man today. Come on! Young man, you have to drink well today. So,
You have to accompany the elders well and let them have a good time drinking." Fan Weicheng said.
Chen Shi quickly stood up and went to pick up Fan Jian's wine and prepare to pour it for the elders. As soon as he got close to this guy, he actually stepped on him with a dirty trick, deliberately stepping on him, but on the surface he remained calm.
, as if nothing happened.
Damn it! This guy is so boring!
Chen Shi calmly pinched the boy's thigh with his hands. With Chen Shi's strength, the other man's face suddenly turned red. He wanted to step on Chen Shi, but Chen Shi quickly stepped on him.
He took the wine from his hand and said: "I pour wine for all the elders. They say that elders are respected. Grandpa, I will pour wine for whomever you want me to pour first. I'm afraid that if I pour the wrong wine, everyone will be unhappy."
.”
"Pour it for Grandpa Mengmeng first. Although he is younger than me, this is our family banquet after all. He is the guest. Pour the wine for him first, and then for Grandma Mengmeng. Your grandma and I will be in the back. Remember the last one.
Just pour it for them." Grandpa Wang Mengmeng pointed at Wang Mengmeng's cousin and uncle and said, the two people suddenly looked a little ugly, the old man was so useless, this guy said that they were irrelevant.
Chen Shi took the wine glass and poured half a glass of red wine for Wang Mengmeng's grandparents, and then poured half a glass of red wine for Chen Shi's grandparents. Then he changed to white wine and poured a glass for Fan Weicheng, and poured another half a glass of red wine for Li Guihua. Basically, the old man and the lady
They all drink red wine, and young people and middle-aged people drink white wine.
When you reach a certain age, you usually have a drink at a banquet. In recent years, red wine has become popular for health care, so many younger generations will give red wine to their elders.
Then I poured wine for Wang Mengmeng's parents, and finally I poured a large glass of white wine for my cousin. This glass of wine weighed half a catty and was full. Drinking white wine from a goblet is very exciting, especially a wide goblet.
"You poured it for us, where's your own?" asked my cousin.
Two bottles of white wine and two bottles of red wine were gone at the table, but the boy himself didn't drink a glass.
"The wine is gone. I'm going to buy two bottles of wine to drink with brother Fan Jian." Chen Shi's mouth showed an unkind smile. Have you ever drank mung bean roasted knife? The taste is so good that the aftertaste will kill you.
"No, there's still wine in the car, that's enough." Fan Weicheng stopped Chen Shi from buying wine and asked Fan Jian to get the wine. Fan Jian went and brought three bottles of white wine and three bottles of red wine this time. Without saying a word, he opened the white wine and gave it to him.
Chen Shi poured a full glass and then poured himself half a glass of red wine.
This guy is quite smart. I actually don’t feel much after drinking half a glass of red wine. I just feel the taste of wine. And the red wine should be drank slowly and carefully. The main thing is that red wine needs to be sober before drinking. During this period, those who drink white wine must pick up the wine glass.
Drink it, this guy is very familiar with wine culture.
Chen Shi reluctantly picked up the wine glass and said, "You need to wake up before you can drink red wine, so I would like to pay tribute to all the elders who drink white wine first."
"That's not how you drink wine, young man. You have to respect Mengmeng's father first, and then take turns. Lao Wang, you can't lose our men's face. You have to drink this glass of wine!" Fan Weicheng patted Wang Mengmeng's father on the shoulder and said.
.
Both Wang Mengmeng's father and Wang Mengmeng's grandma are the kind of people who are not good at talking. On the other hand, Wang Mengmeng's grandfather and mother are more sociable. Wang Mengmeng's father was a little at a loss and raised his glass.
Chen Shi also had a headache. You had to raise your glass. I didn't realize that he was trying to persuade me to drink. You raised your glass and drank it all. I can't drink it. If I drink with you, I can't drink a glass of wine with you.
Ah, these three bottles of white wine were prepared for me?
Wang Mengmeng also had a headache for a while. Her father has always been an honest person who is not good at words and a bit dull. He also has the most basic mentality of the common people. He thinks that everything the rich say is right. The rich drink with you to give you face.
, Fan Weicheng can make him pick up the wine glass with just one word, and he doesn't know how to refuse. It is obvious that he wants Chen Shi to drink heavily.
The key point is that it's not easy for Wang Mengmeng to interrupt. At this time, it's most taboo for others to interrupt.
"Son! We haven't had a drink for decades, right? The last time was when you got married. Xiao Chen gave me a wine glass. I want to have a drink with my son to enhance the bond between father and son."
Chen Shi looked at Grandpa Wang Mengmeng. What is professionalism and professional ethics? This is ridiculous. He uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others. This is simply a representative of professionalism in the new era and can be praised.
Grandpa Wang Mengmeng is old, and almost no one would reject his words. After all, he has seniority. In fact, the character that Mr. Wang dislikes the most is his own son, but after all, he is his own son. What is even more irritating is Wang Mengmeng’s grandma’s family.
That group of people have the appearance of parasites, and they immediately show flattering expressions when they see dignitaries or the like.
I have made a living by fortune telling all my life, and I have seen more dignitaries than they have ever heard of. If I show that kind of face, I will not eat this bowl of rice. The most important thing is that Mr. Wang was also in the industry back then.
Jianghu has its own way, and the first thing to remember about this way is that you must not take people's money without doing things for them, otherwise you will not be able to earn a living from Jianghe.
