20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 273 The building outside the building

In the old market street, there are buildings outside the building.

The most prestigious restaurant in Yingkou Pier has eight guises hanging in front of its door, and it has survived for more than ten or twenty years.

The beasts in the mountains, the swallows in the clouds, the cattle and sheep on the land and the fresh food from the sea, there is no one that the chef cannot cook, which shows that he is an expert in cooking and has excellent abilities.

After the opening ceremony of Zongheng Cargo Insurance Company, the guests were invited to a banquet, which was definitely pomp and honorable.

There was a banquet at four tables, with countless delicacies and delicacies; the seats were full of distinguished guests, and the dignitaries and celebrities celebrated with each other.

But Jiang Lianheng remained silent in the main seat, his face was ugly, and even Xiaohua, who was dressed up beside him, was also trembling with fear.

It was for no other reason than that during the ceremony, a few students suddenly rushed up and gave a loud lecture, causing a small episode that disturbed the patrol police and ruined the mood.

Scanning the guests at the scene, Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but wonder: Is it just a coincidence, or was it deliberately instigated by someone?

Liu Fengqi picked up the wine glass, bowed and said consolingly: "Come on, boss Jiang, there is nothing perfect in the world. A few stupid young men will cause a little trouble, but the flaws will not cover up the flaws. Stop being so depressed and take a sip!"

Jiang Lianheng clinked his glasses with wine and drank it all in one gulp, then asked: "Manager Liu, who are those people just now?"

"Hey! What's the background of these young brats?" Liu Fengqi smiled and waved his hand, "Boss Jiang, please don't worry too much. If you don't believe me, go and find out for yourself. Those students are all habitual offenders."

After finishing speaking, the other guests at the table nodded in agreement.

"Isn't that right? Nowadays, these students don't know how well they study. They are just shouting slogans every day."

"Haha, they are a bunch of little brats. Not to mention they have never seen big winds and waves. They don't even know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. They talk big talk all the time. Open your mouth to be French, shut up to be German."

"Let them make trouble. After graduation, they will be honest after wandering around in society for two or three years."

"Okay, what do you think you are doing? That kid in my family is called a promising man! Guess what? He just went to school for a year, and the other night he suddenly told me that he was no longer allowed to call his son, and that he would call him Mr. Chen or Jie. Rui, he said that calling him a son is oppressing him. I don’t understand. I provide for him with good food and drink all day long, so how can I oppress him?”

Everyone was squirting and laughing, but they couldn't help but lament that the world was declining and people's hearts were not as old as they used to be.

Hearing everyone's consensus, Jiang Lianheng gradually let go of his doubts.

At this time, Mr. Tong suddenly snorted coldly, but said: "Isn't it all deceived by Sun Dapao? He is a traitor and a traitor, causing harm to the world. What's the result? Humph! When he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately ran to the East to be a coward. what!"

The guests were stunned for a moment, and then someone quickly spoke up, trying to bring back the conversation that was getting deeper and deeper.

"Haha, it's all over! Now, with a capable person like President Fang sitting in charge, we can still maintain stability. For us businessmen, that's a great thing, that's all!"

Mr. Tong Sanye laughed twice, but said: "Fang Daguai is nothing. He neither saved the Qing court nor wiped out the rebellious parties. He is unfaithful and unjust, and he uses power for personal gain. Huh, just wait, there will be no good end!"

As soon as these words were said, not only the guests at the table, but also the entire building outside the building became silent in an instant.

A few timid ones actually stood up and walked to Jiang Lianheng's side. With smiles on their faces, they excused themselves from having something to do at home, turned around and left the table hastily.

Mr. Tong's words were not fully enjoyed yet.

"Whether it's Sun Dapao or Fang Datou, in the final analysis, don't we still rely on foreigners? Do you really think that by driving away the emperor and bringing in the parliament, you can drive away the foreigners? Hehe, it's not just the foreigners who side with us. Win! What could the Republic of China have the guts to void the treaty? It would cause chaos in the world. I think it would be worse than when the imperial court was here!"

No one dared to talk to each other, and the lively atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper from the building outside the building quickly ordered the waiter to get the wine, and then personally delivered it to the table.

"Borrow me, borrow me, here's the wine!" the shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face, "Everyone, how's your meal? Boss Jiang's business is a success, and the shop is also very happy. I just asked the chef to give you two more A tough dish! Third Master, this is the sorghum wine you are most proud of. I have prepared it for you in the first few days, so just open it and drink it!"

The implication is, don’t talk about state affairs.

With such a big business like Louwailou, there is certainly no shortage of connections. Mr. Tong glanced at the shopkeeper and finally nodded.

Liu Fengqi rolled his eyes and immediately stood up to pour wine for Mr. Tong. He said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's have two more drinks on this big day. Good wine and good food. Don't waste it on Boss Jiang." Money!"

After that, he winked at Jiang Lianheng again: "Right?"

Jiang Lianheng understood and quickly hit the little flower next to him with his elbow, then raised his glass and stood up.

"Brothers, Mr. Jiang is young and is new here. I would like to thank you all for coming to support me. I will rely on your continued care for the company's business in the future."

Xiaohua recited the lines taught to her by her sister-in-law a bit rigidly: "Yes, yes, Lianheng and I are both young and have limited knowledge. Each place has its own customs, etiquette and rules. If there is a place where the hospitality is not good, it will still Please bear with me. If I did something wrong, we should treat it as juniors to make everyone happy, but it’s a joke, so in the end you can give me some advice to prevent us from doing it again in the future!"

"Ho!"

Liu Fengqi held the wine glass and smiled at the guests: "Listen, ah, are you convinced by these two words of my brothers and sisters? Anyway, I am convinced. People are really different from each other. I was like my brothers and sisters when they were the same age. , I still worry about my food all day long!"

"The talent and beauty of the man are a match made in heaven and earth!"

Everyone stood up and toasted.

Liu Fengqi touched Mr. Tong. He kept his words in his stomach and was a little disappointed, but he still stood up and toasted to celebrate.

Drinking wine and drinking wine alternately, holding cups in each cup, drinking wine for three rounds, and dishes with five flavors. As night fell, the guests at the other three tables gradually stood up and left. Those who should have enjoyed themselves had also enjoyed themselves.

Only a few shopkeepers at the main table were left, still talking and drinking.

The waiters in the store are busy waiting on the guests, and from time to time they bring plates of peanuts, edamame, mixed vegetables and other side dishes to the table to accompany the wine.

Everyone ate salt-baked peanuts, and before they knew it, they started eating with chopsticks instead of grabbing them with their hands. From this, it can be seen that everyone has almost drunk enough.

Except for the waiters, there are still some guards of these shopkeepers standing around the rest of the tables and outside the door in the store. They walk around the place from time to time, suspicious of each other and not daring to take it lightly.

No matter how amiable the head of the family is, his younger brother Ma still has to be ready to draw a gun at all times.

Li Zhengxi placed a bowl of noodles in the store, then walked outside, lit a cigarette, and said to Nanfeng: "Second brother, you go in and have a bite, I will keep an eye on you for a while."

Wang Zhengnan had been hungry for a long time, but he was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he frowned and asked, "It's already dark. You haven't finished eating since noon?"

"Oh, then Liu Fengqi is just a drunkard. His teeth get sticky after drinking, which makes him irritated!" Li Zhengxi complained in a low voice, "Brother Dao is hosting a treat and the guests don't leave. What can we do?"

Wang Zhengnan couldn't help but look back at the store, and saw Xiaohua sitting next to Jiang Lianheng, wearing a luxurious cheongsam, with a warm and rosy complexion. She was holding a wine glass, chatting and laughing with the guests at the table.

Probably because she was drunk, her speech and behavior were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning, but gradually became more relaxed and generous. Although she was still far from being able to do anything with ease, she seemed to be quickly adapting to what she was doing. roles played.

"Oh my God, Xiaohua has been drinking a lot! Look at that little face, it's red!" Wang Zhengnan said with some surprise.

"No, everyone is there to admire her beauty!"

"Okay, just keep an eye on it and I'll take a bite."

Li Zhengxi was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette butt lit up with orange-red spots in the night sky.

After blowing out a puff of smoke, his eyes suddenly glanced to his side, only to see Yang Zui standing on the other side of the store door.

The wound on the crooked-mouthed Yang's cheek, which was betrayed by Jiang Lian last time, has not healed yet. There is a plaster-like gauze attached to it, making him look less arrogant and more stupid.

"call--"

The smoke spread quickly in the air.

Li Zhengxi raised his hand to flick the cigarette butt away, walked forward as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked to stand in front of Crooked Yang.

The distance between the two was so close that anyone would regard West Wind's move as a provocation.

"Boy, what are you looking at?"

Waizui Yang did not flinch, but took a step closer.

Li Zhengxi said nothing, and his eyes were fixed on the other person's face.

"I'm fucking asking you a question!" Waizui Yang said angrily, "Huh? What are you looking at?"

Li Zhengxi tilted his head and remained silent.

"Boy, are you angry or something?" Waizui Yang asked sharply, "How about we find a place to practice alone? Damn it, what do you want?"

When the situation was tense and about to take action, who would have thought that Li Zhengxi suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"Brother, do you smoke?"

"Don't you have a fucking voice and a burp? Are you kidding me?"

"That's not what I meant!" Li Zhengxi suddenly turned sideways, leaned on the door panel next to Waizui Yang, and lit another cigarette for himself, "Eh? How many years have you been working with Mr. Tong?"

"It doesn't matter what you do!"

"Hey! It's not easy to work next to my eldest brother!" Li Zhengxi said quietly, "I'm still chatting with you to learn from you!"

Crooked Yang couldn't help but frown and asked: "Boy, it seems to me that you have just been on the road not long ago, right?"

"That depends on what you mean."

The crooked Yang smiled when he heard this, and then quickly raised his hand to cover his cheek, grinning and secretly crying out in pain.

After the tension subsided, he put on a straight face again, looked at Xi Feng with interest, and then pushed the other party's arm with the back of his hand.

"Brother, let's have a cigarette!"
