Met 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.

Mrs. Sun turned her eyes away from the window and saw the waiters from the restaurant waiting nearby, so she lowered her voice and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Just pick up two of the cheap ones, and order something for your father and Uncle Wu to go with the wine."

."

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 didn't bother to ask her opinion anymore and turned to the waiter to tell her the names of several dishes 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 the brand'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 took the menu and went out to work happily.

In the private room, Mrs. Sun said to Yang Ruoqing with a face: "The four of us will order ten dishes. It's too much to finish!"

"Mom, you always have to change your mind. Since we went out to eat, we didn't plan to finish the meal. We just wanted to taste the texture and freshness." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, and poured a bowl of barley tea for Sun.

"Here, take a sip. The taste of barley tea is 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, and it still has a burnt aroma of fried wheat after drinking it."

Mrs. Sun picked it up and took a few more sips.

Here, brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou opened the window, moved stools to the window and smoked while chatting.

Sun asked Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "Qing'er, does this meal cost a lot of money?"

Yang Ruoqing drank tea with a smile and said two words: "It's okay."

"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?" Mrs. Sun was so surprised that her eyes 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 cents is the price of roasted rice and barley tea. Including ten dishes, this meal costs nearly eight hundred cents.

Eight hundred cents for a meal was not worth mentioning to Yang Ruoqing's financial resources, but to Sun, it was really shocking.

"No wonder the waiter has such a good attitude. The shopkeeper came to serve tea in person before, and also gave a plate of peanuts and snacks. I guess it's because we have done such a big business in their house," Mrs. Sun sat there and said.

He murmured, "Three hundred coins, enough meat for your father and I to stay at home for half a month."

Half a month?

When Yang Ruoqing thought about it, 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.

During the festival, they would catch a chicken and kill a goose. When the eldest Sun family killed a pig, they could buy two or three kilograms of pork belly for twenty or thirty cents, 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 for tooth sacrifice. The cost was really small, three hundred coins could last for a month.

"Since we spent so much money, we have to ask the shopkeeper for a plate of pickles later," Mrs. Sun said again.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised, "Mom, ten vegetables are enough. Why do you want pickles?"

Mrs. Sun smiled sheepishly: "No food without pickles."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized, "Okay, then I'll ask the shopkeeper for some points later."

The dishes were served soon, and they were all delicious, delicious and delicious. The small private room suddenly turned into a gourmet paradise.

The river breeze blew in from the open window, and accompanied by the driver'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 were not much better.

At first, Ms. 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 go all out.

The four of them sat down on the stools after eating and drinking, with blood pouring into their stomachs. They didn't even have the strength to go downstairs, let alone walk back to Tianxiang Tower, which was three blocks away, nearly five miles away.

"What are your plans for the afternoon? Are you going shopping?"

Yang Huazhong burped and deliberately asked Sun and Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing set her sights on Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun waved her hand: "I can't walk anymore and want to go back."

Yang Huazhong smiled with satisfaction.

Yang Huazhou also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting for a moment, Yang Ruoqing stood up and said, "I'm going downstairs to check out and see if I can call a carriage."

When 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, followed by a group of gangsters, who got off the carriage and came to the restaurant, shouting and drinking.

He was also wearing a pair of cobra-shaped sunglasses that covered his face. These were authentic Western goods. When Yang Ruoqing was in the capital, she had seen several prominent 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 originally preparing 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.

"Why is this ignorant woman blocking this intersection? Didn't she see our Mr. Cao coming? Get out of the way..."

"Snapped!"

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 to the side.
