Red Merry

(' The deli is located about [-] meters north of the old Gaoqiao. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old Tianqiao was a famous miscellaneous place in the capital. When you mention the capital, you have to mention the Tianqiao. There is a saying that "Jiuqi Opera Gutianqiao City, how many tourists don’t remember their home.” Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, many entertainers from all walks of life played tricks here, and gradually this place became a gathering place of all kinds of religions and nine streams. Therefore, all kinds of snacks and cooked food came into being. Among them, the most famous one is the secret stewed pork of "Youxiaoduer" family in the late Qing Dynasty, which is unique in the capital. "Youxiaoduer" relies on the craftsmanship passed down from ancestors to "Xiaoduer Zhai" gradually became bigger and stronger, and it was handed down to three generations, and it was hard to escape the fate of being a joint venture. What Xue Xiang is going to at this time is the handed down of "Youxiaoduer", which was renamed "Xianghong Delicatessen" by the joint venture "Xiaoduerzhai". Xue Xiang placed an order here three days ago, [-] catties of pig ears and [-] catties of peanuts, and he is here to pick up the goods.

The small sidecar was already full of stewed vegetables, Lei Xiaotian and Chen Fusheng sat on the spare tire of the sidecar, and the other sat on Xue Xiang's back seat.Xue Xiang did not slow down, and galloped towards Baofang Bridge.Lei Xiaotian, who was sitting on the spare tire, kept yelling "slow down, slow down, it's about to fall off."Marlezi, who was always daring, had to shrink into a ball, trembling.

…………

It was almost five o'clock, and in the dining room of about [-] square meters, there were a row of large Eight Immortals tables painted with yellow lacquer in four directions and ten in length. Each table was equipped with four benches. .At this time, many stubborn people from all walks of life in the dining room had arrived, sitting at the table in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and knocking sunflower seeds.Xue Xiang was very thoughtful, in order to avoid waiting for everyone, three packs of jadeite and a large plate of melon seeds were placed on each table for the guests.

Xue Xiang was welcoming guests outside the dining room at this time, and Chen Fusheng held a cigarette in his hand, ready to offer a cigarette to anyone who came.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. If you set up a banquet today, my old Zhang will come here with a thick face, haha..."

"Old Zhang, it's meaningless for you to say that. I can't kiss the post at the table. It's my fault. You can't hold on to it. Don't talk nonsense, come on, the door is blocked for you."

"Third Brother, I, it's me, remember, I'm Wei Dayong from Xicheng, I sent you stamps when I went back to your house last time, I'm not like them, what I gave was a big piece of red ’, which was cut from my dad’s envelope….”

"Remember, why don't you remember, didn't you have a brother who came with you that day? Why didn't he come with you today? Buddha, smoke."

"I asked him to come here together. The kid said he didn't send stamps, so he was embarrassed to come. I said you are a small belly, third brother is that kind of person, but he just didn't listen."

"Then hurry up and ask him to come over. There's still time. I'll wait for you. How can I let the brothers make this trip in vain? It's a kindness if you can give it to me. Yes, I'll have someone drive you there on a motorcycle."

"Okay, let me just say it, third brother, you are so righteous!"

"Third brother, it's not too late for me to be Qiangzi. You asked me to notify people. I have notified all the bosses in Forty-Nine City. I brought ten brothers with me. I was tired and sweaty and broke a pair of my shoes. You have to pay me."

"Don't be poor here with me, Boss Wu from Xicheng has arrived, you go in and accompany him for me"

"De Ling, you can handle it!"

"Hey, isn't this Hao Yunlai? What are you doing standing outside the factory gate? Why don't you come in?"

"Third brother, hey, third brother, I heard that you arranged a banquet, so I wanted to come over and see if there is anything I can help. I saw that you have made arrangements here, how can I come in? Last time I said I would invite you to dinner, but I have not been able to find Mr. Qian, so I am sorry to see you. I heard that you were looking for some stamps. I searched tirelessly, but I didn’t have any of the ones you wanted. I found it, shame on me!"

"You boy, you are still cheating on me, go in, and if you see each other like this in the future, just pretend that we don't know each other."

"Thank you third brother, thank you third brother"

"Yanzi, Bailan, Haosheng, why are you three, your good brothers, why didn't you come over?"

"Third brother, Yanzi and Bailan said that there are too many calls, I'm afraid you can't arrange it, so let's just let the three of us act as representatives."

"What annoys me the most is being represented, why don't you be represented by others, stop talking nonsense and call!"

"Come on, as I said earlier, how can the third brother be careless? We don't need to worry about it. This dirty thing is the idea of ​​the two of you, so you two can run errands."

………….

Outside the hall, Xue Xiang was busy welcoming guests, and inside the hall, Kang Tong, Lei Xiaotian, and Kang Xiaoba were busy entertaining guests.At this time, the hall was full of voices, people greeting, joking, and yelling, and it became a mess.When encountering a conflict, he yelled and scolded a few words, but he didn't dare not give Xue Xiang face and start a war on the spot.Fortunately, the hall is large, with many windows, and it is located in the shade of the trees, so the heat is greatly reduced. Otherwise, with so many people crowded together, they would have to pass out from the heat, and there would be no energy to quarrel.

"Cai Guoqing, why are you here? Didn't you find the stamps that the third brother asked for?" said a young man in white "Jeliang" short-sleeves.

"Shi Chuan, why don't you just keep your voice down and yell to let everyone know and let me lose my place? I didn't find it. Fortunately, I dismantled all my old man's stamp collections. I didn't have any. Tell me something Can you recite it? No way, I found the one with the highest face value in the old man's stamp collection and sent it to the third brother. The third brother said thank you for my trouble and invited me to the banquet today. The third brother has spoken, do I dare not come? " Cai Guoqing combed his hair like a traitor, and at first he spoke in a very low voice, afraid that people would hear him, but then his voice became louder, for fear that people might not hear him.

Shi Chuan said: "Ah, it's just thick-skinned. I didn't find the stamps that the third brother asked for and sent them home. Can the third brother invite you instead of saying thank you?"

Hearing Ishi Chuan's sarcasm, Cai Guoqing was ashamed and annoyed, his face blushed, and he pricked his neck and said, "I'm powerless, unlike you who got lucky and found a piece of 'black inscription' in the mail room of the school." '. Besides, I'm not alone in this situation. Don't you see Zhang Weimin, Yuan Fei, and Jiang Guodong over there are all like this? Why do you keep staring at me! Let me tell you, don't shout out , Let me lose face in front of the stubborn masters of Sijiu City, I will never end with you."

Ishi Chuan said: "Is that shit luck for me? That's smart and wise. Obviously, there are a lot of letters and stamps in the mail room of the school. If I don't go there to find stamps, where can I find them? Just like you, go back Do you want to tear up your old man’s postage collection? If you want me to say that in the final analysis, it is still an intellectual problem. Well, don’t worry, I can sell you just because of our small relationship? But, hush money is still required. No counter-offering is allowed, I'll pretend you don't know anything about you."

Cai Guoqing said: "Ishi Chuan, Ishi Chuan, you are such a white-eyed wolf. I treated you to ice cream last time, so spit it out for me."

Shi Chuan said: "I can't spit it out, you can go to my toilet to find it, I pulled it out, no, I peed out."

Cai Guoqing said: "Forget it, remember it for me, don't get into my hands. By the way, there is no emerald on the table, you can just carry a bag yourself."

Shi Chuan's face changed drastically, and he said: "Cai Guoqing, you are really insidious, you want to plot against me. Look up, which table is not three packs of jadeite, who dares to put it in your pocket, how shameless? Who is it? If you do it, you must be ashamed to death. Damn, don’t you just miss your pack of cigarettes? You actually made such a deadly move. Today, I’m breaking up with you. No, it’s cutting off your robes. Bring your clothes and let me cut."

Cai Guoqing said: "To cut off the righteousness is to cut your own clothes. How can you cut off others? Besides, do you have righteousness? You still have to cut off the righteousness of the fart. Okay, I won't make trouble with you. Tell me, third brother How much does it cost to set up forty tables? I remember that the biggest table ever set up by the bosses of Forty-Nine City was only eighteen tables."

Shi Chuan didn't fight back anymore, thought about Cai Guoqing's question, and said, "It's hard to say if the food hasn't been served yet, the cigarettes on the forty tables alone are nearly 120 yuan, not counting the one cigarette that each person receives when they enter the door." According to these 500 tables, there are at least 150 people, that is, at least 1.5 to 20 packs of toasts, and the price of cigarettes alone is about 880. Also, do you see the big wine tank by the middle window, 600 Mi Gao, eight people hugging each other, this is the special Jiannanchun made by Yuhua Distillery, with a [-]-year-old label on it, this tank of wine is a custom-made [-] jins, this kind of wine tank is specially used to store wine in deep underground storage Chen Yong, this tank of wine costs at least [-] yuan."

Cai Guoqing was a little tongue-tied when he heard it, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Third Brother's generosity is too big, and each person only gave a few cents of stamps. He treats everyone so favorably. What kind of newspaper is that? What, anyway, the third brother's name of "timely rain in Dongcheng, Hubaoyi in Beihai" really didn't come out of it. Last month, Zhong Xiaoyi, the boss of Nancheng, set up a table and only set up five tables. Guess, what is served? You can’t guess, one meat and three vegetables, the meat dishes are stewed in the Northeast, the big fat meat slices are gone with a chopstick per person, the wine is also twenty-three cents, and the smoke is even worse. Prepare yourself."

Shi Chuan asked suspiciously: "You didn't go, how do you know?"

Cai Guoqing said: "I didn't go, but the second brother Ma, the boss of our area, went, and said that the oil was quite heavy, and it was comfortable to eat. Hey, the table on our left doesn't seem to belong to the stubborn circle. Ah, why haven't I seen it?"

Shi Chuan said: "That's the legacy of veterans. Now they are the only ones who call themselves veterans in Forty-Nine City, that is, the third brother waits for them, otherwise we would have scooped them up. You see, they are still wearing clothes in hot weather. It’s neat and tidy, and it’s not too hot to panic.”

Cai Guoqing got the explanation, and didn't pay any attention to this, and said: "I guess it will be two meat and two vegetables later, you have to let me have some, don't steal all the meat, I haven't eaten it for almost two months. It's meaty, my mother said that the meat tickets at home are reserved for the Chinese New Year, and they are not allowed to be moved."

Shi Chuan gave him a blank look: "What beautiful things are you thinking about? I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I have forgotten when I ate meat last time. Why should I let you. Besides, even if I let you, The buddies here will not be polite, it’s better to rely on your own ability.”

"you….."

…………..

The hall was gradually full, Xue Xiang looked up his watch, it was almost [-]:[-], and almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.Xue Xiangzheng turned around to go in. Fatty Zhang came hand in hand with the less coquettish factory director Ma Liangma with his huge body, and they both carried things in their hands.

Xue Xiang walked forward quickly, and said with a smile: "I thought Director Zhang thought it was too remote, so I wouldn't come. I didn't expect to be with Uncle Ma. It was a surprise that Uncle Ma came. I don't know how to thank you." As for you, well, I'll toast you a few glasses of wine later to express my thanks."

Fatty Zhang and Ma Liang are both deputy director-level cadres. They are equally high-ranking, and they have no affiliation. In terms of real power, they are brothers. But Fatty Zhang is far away, so he spoke first.Fatty Zhang said with a smile: "Third brother, you blame me for being late. You really can't blame me. I met the director of the horse factory on the road. He forgot to bring a gift, so he dragged me to go with him Shop." Fatty Zhang and Ma Liang met at the entrance of the Hufang Bridge, and they didn't know each other at all. Fatty Zhang only knew that the woodware factory was in this area, but he didn't know where the door opened, so he asked someone. So I asked Ma Liang.
