Chapter 6366 Meeting an acquaintance
"Mom, what do you want to eat?" After finding a private room by the river and sitting down, Yang Ruoqing turned to ask Sun.
Ms. Sun looked away from the window and saw the waiter of the restaurant waiting nearby, so she lowered her voice and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Just pick up two of the cheap ones, and order some for your father and uncle Wu." The dishes to go with the wine are almost ready.”
Yang Ruoqing couldn’t laugh or cry.
"Mom, if you order food like this when you go out to dinner with me, you are looking down on your daughter and me!"
"Ah?"
Sun was stunned for a moment.
Yang Ruoqing was too lazy to ask her opinion, and turned around to tell the waiter several dish names at once.
For example, sizzling seabass, braised eel with bacon, steamed large mixed crabs, spicy shrimps, and a few small stir-fries, totaling nearly ten dishes.
Finally, I ordered a jar of this company's shaochen liquor for Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou, and a pot of barley tea for myself and my mother.
After eating fish and shrimp, it is inevitable that there will be a fishy smell in your mouth. Drinking some barley tea can remove the greasiness and fishy smell. It is very good.
The waiter collected the menu and went out to work happily.
In the private room, Ms. Sun said to Yang Ruoqing with a face: "The four of us will order ten dishes, too many to finish!"
"Mother, sir We need to change our thinking. Since we are going out to eat, we have no intention of finishing it. We just want to taste the texture and freshness." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, and poured a bowl of barley tea for Sun.
"Come, take a sip, the barley tea tastes different from the wild tea at home." Yang Ruoqing said again.
Barley tea was also bought with money. Sun couldn't bear to waste it, so she quickly picked it up and drank it in small sips, smashing it in her mouth and savoring it.
"It is indeed mellower than the tea at home. After drinking it, there is still a burnt aroma of fried wheat."
Ms. Sun picked it up and took a few more sips.
Here, brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou opened the window and moved stools to the window to smoke and chat.
Sun asked Yang Ruoqing in a low voice again: "Qing'er, does this meal cost a lot of money?"
Yang Ruoqing drank her tea with a smile and said two words: "It's not bad."
"How much is it approximately? Tell me the number!" asked Sun again.
Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to say: "Nearly three hundred yuan!"
"What?" Sun was so surprised that her eyeballs almost fell into the barley tea.
Seeing her surprised expression, Yang Ruoqing was secretly glad that she had lied about the military situation.
Three hundred coins is the price of Shaobai and barley tea. Including ten dishes, this meal costs nearly eight hundred coins.
A meal of eight hundred cents is not worth mentioning to Yang Ruoqing's financial resources, but to Sun, it is really shocking.
“No wonder the waiter has such a good attitude. Previously, the shopkeeper came to serve tea in person, and also gave a plate of peanuts and snacks. I guess it’s because we have done such a big business with them,” Mrs. Sun sat there and murmured, "Three hundred coins, enough meat for your father and I to stay at home for half a month."
Half a month?
Yang Ruoqing thought about it, and it was true.
There are vegetables, melons and fruits in the vegetable garden at home. Dried vegetables are fished out in large and small baskets under the roof beams in the backyard, and pickles and sauerkraut are kept in jars.
If you want to eat something meaty, all the chickens, ducks and geese at home are laying eggs.
On the holidays, a chicken is caught and a goose is killed. When the eldest Sun family kills a pig, the internal price is twenty or thirty cents and you can buy two or three kilograms of pork belly, or two pairs of pig's trotters.
Sometimes the eldest Sun would take the initiative to send some pig livers, pig heads, etc. to the Sun family as a tooth sacrifice. The cost was really small, three hundred coins could last a month.
"Since we spent so much money, we have to ask the shopkeeper for a plate of pickles later." Mrs. Sun added.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised, "Mom, ten vegetables are enough. Why do you want pickles?" Mrs. Sun smiled sheepishly: "There is no meal without pickles."
Yang Ruoqing Suddenly, "Okay, then I'll ask the shopkeeper for the order later."
Soon the dishes were served, all of them were hard food, full of color, flavor and flavor, and the small private room suddenly transformed into a gourmet paradise. .
The river breeze blew in from the open window, and accompanied by the boatman's call, four people sat at the spacious table and enjoyed the delicious fish and shrimp.
The steamed red hairy crab is split in the middle. The crab roe inside is like the red oil duck egg yolk pickled at home. Take a piece and dip it in the vinegar plate on the side, then eat it in your mouth. It's so delicious. ... Sorry, Chinese was taught by a physical education teacher, so I can’t describe the feeling. In short, after this meal, Yang Ruoqing, who had been clamoring to lose weight every day and dared not eat more dinner, felt like her belly had become a ball.
The other three elders are not much better.
At first, Mrs. Sun was relatively reserved and ate closely with Yang Ruoqing and others. But later she found that the portion of the dish was too much, so Ms. Sun had no choice but to turn on all her power.
The four of them sat slumped on the stool after eating and drinking, with blood pouring into their stomachs. Not to mention walking back to Tianxiang Tower, which is three streets away and nearly five miles away, they didn’t even have the strength to go downstairs. I owe you.
"What arrangements have you two made for the afternoon? Are you still going shopping?"
Yang Huazhong burped and deliberately asked Sun and Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing set her sights on Mrs. Sun.
Sun waved her hand: "I can't wander anymore and want to go back."
Yang Huazhong smiled with satisfaction.
Yang Huazhou also breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting for a moment, Yang Ruoqing stood up: "I'm going downstairs to check out, and see if I can get a carriage."
While going downstairs to check out, Yang Ruoqing met an acquaintance.
This man was dressed in rich clothes, with his left and right arms holding a young and beautiful girl in his mid-20s. He was followed by a group of henchmen, who got off the carriage and came to the restaurant, shouting and drinking.
He also wore a pair of cobra-shaped sunglasses that covered his face. These were authentic Western products. When Yang Ruoqing was in the capital, she had seen several big dandies in the capital wearing them.
Unexpectedly, this acquaintance in front of me also wore it. It seems that he is really keeping up with the trend, leading the fashion trend in Qing'an County and a model in the world of showmanship.
The shopkeeper was about to pay Yang Ruoqing, but when he saw the visitor, he immediately dropped his account book and ran to the door of the restaurant to greet him.
Yang Ruoqing was leaning against the front desk of the hall, her arms folded and her head tilted as she looked at someone who was being hugged and hugged with a smile.
When the loser next to someone saw Yang Ruoqing standing there, his first reaction was to come over and drive him away.
"Where did the ignorant woman come from blocking this intersection? Didn't she see our Mr. Cao coming? Move out of the way..."
"Pa!"
The loser was slapped away before he could finish his words.
"Cao Kun, you are so impressive!"
Yang Ruoqing retracted her hand and raised her chin towards Cao Kun with a half-smile.
Cao Kun raised a finger and pulled down the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose two inches.
When he saw that the person blocking the road was Yang Ruoqing, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously pushed the two girls in his arms aside.
Amidst the girl's cries of falling to the ground, Cao Kun rushed to Yang Ruoqing with his butt bumping on his butt, nodded and bowed, and tried to please her in every possible way.
