Diary of the life of a working wizard

When Xia Yunjie heard this, he looked at Bald Qiang and fell silent, feeling a little complicated. Bald Qiang has reached this stage. His own bad character and his inability to withstand setbacks must be a major reason, but doesn’t this society have no responsibility?

In silence, the car arrived at Huazhongcheng Hotel.

Huazhongcheng Hotel is one of the best hotels in Jiangzhou City. Although it is very expensive, business has always been booming. If you want to eat here in the evening, you usually need to book a private room in advance. However, the business is not so hot at noon, so you don’t need to book in advance.

After getting out of the car, Bald Qiang and A Biao walked toward the hotel surrounded by Xia Yunjie. The tall receptionist, who was wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam with slits that reached almost to her thighs, was secretly surprised when she saw two grown men, Bald Qiang and A Biao, respectfully accompanying a young man like Xia Yunjie inside, wondering what Xia Yunjie was doing. identity.

It is said that he is the eldest brother who is a gangster on the road. Firstly, he is too young, and secondly, his image is too simple. He does not have the slightest taste of a gangster in the society. However, the two people around him look like gangsters on the road. He was said to be a second-generation official or a second-generation rich man, but it didn't look like it. His clothes were too simple, and the two followers and the old Jinbei car were too valuable.

However, the quality of the reception girls in big hotels was different. Although they were secretly surprised, they still followed Bald Qiang's request and led them into an elegantly decorated small private room.

After entering the private room, the waiter brought the menu to Bald Qiang, who then brought the menu to Xia Yunjie's table for instructions. Xia Yunjie glanced at it and was secretly speechless. He thought to himself, it seems that people who open high-end hotels are just as ruthless as those who open bars. A random vegetarian dish costs thirty or forty yuan. For these three people, none of them can spend more than two hundred or three hundred yuan for a meal. Yuan simply can't even think of stepping out of this door.

Three hundred yuan is almost enough to cover Xia Yunjie's salary for a week.

"You go ahead and order as many as you like. I don't have any dietary restrictions." Xia Yunjie glanced at it and then handed the menu to Bald Qiang. He really couldn't order such an expensive dish. You must know that if he hadn't robbed the bald man in front of him a few days ago, his total net worth would be only one hundred yuan, which was not enough to order three vegetarian dishes.

What Xia Yunjie said now was an imperial edict to Bald Qiang. Since he asked him to order, he would never dare to refuse. Of course, he would definitely not dare to order a few randomly.

Just kidding, this person in front of me is a living god! Can you do it casually?

After getting the menu back, Bald Qiang flipped through it and asked the waiter: "Miss, which dishes are your chef's best? Price is not an issue."

The waitress saw that Bald Qiang and the others did not look like rich people. After hearing this, she wanted to recommend a few affordable dishes for drinking in the hotel. However, seeing Bald Qiang specifically emphasize that "price is not an issue," she hesitated and said, "We are the best chefs." The specialties are 'Braised Shark's Fin', 'South African Jeppy Abalone with Abalone Sauce' and..."

When Xia Yunjie heard this, his eyelids twitched a little. Hey, if he really wanted to eat like this, his monthly salary wouldn't even be enough.

Unexpectedly, the bald Qiang didn't even frown. Not only did he order all the expensive dishes mentioned by the waiter, but he also ordered a few more. If Xia Yunjie hadn't stopped, he would probably have ordered more. When ordering drinks, Bald Qiang asked Xia Yunjie again. This time, Xia Yunjie was too lazy to be polite and directly asked for beer. Otherwise, he would have probably ordered foreign wine and meat dishes from Bald Qiang, who had made a fortune.

Getting rich is a good thing, but Xia Yunjie, who is short of money, still prefers to be diligent and thrifty. Besides, he doesn't know how much windfall Bald Qiang has made. He should save a little if he can. It's not easy for people to make a windfall these days.

Although the food in a five-star hotel is expensive, the food is really good in terms of taste and appearance. If it were normal times, Abiao would have eaten so much that his mouth would be greasy, fearing that he would suffer if he ate less, but today he was stunned. Like a lady, she is even careful to lift chopsticks. In fact, what Xia Yunjie said in the car just now scared him a lot. Not only that, but at this time, A Biao also remembered the incident where Xia Yunjie suddenly found the bicycle dealer yesterday and what he said before leaving. Based on the boss's performance today, It is not difficult for Abiao to guess that the boss really got rich today. As for how much money he will make, A Biao doesn't know, but that's not important now. What's important is that this Brother Jie in front of him is so amazing that A Biao's heart goes crazy when he sees him, and he wants to kowtow to him. Also ask him for some advice, so that you can make a fortune.

"Brother Qiang..." Xia Yunjie ate a few bites of the food and drank a few glasses of wine, feeling that it was time to talk business to Bald Qiang.

"Brother Jie, please don't call me Brother Qiang. I can't bear it. If you want, you can still call me Bald Qiang, or you can call me Xiao Qiang. This is my nickname. People in the village called me that when I was a child." When Bald Qiang saw that Xia Yunjie was talking about Brother Qiang, he was so frightened that his hands shook and some of the wine in his glass spilled out.

"Then I'll ask you to call you Xiaoqiang." Now that the two of them have not known each other before, and Bald Qiang is going to take the right path in the future, Xia Yunjie feels that calling people by nicknames is not good, but after thinking about it, he still thinks that calling him Xiaoqiang is better. It's just that I felt a little awkward after saying it, as if I had become an elder.

"Okay! Okay!" On the contrary, Bald Qiang nodded happily when Xia Yunjie called him Xiaoqiang. Of course he could tell that Xiao Qiang's name was much more affectionate than Bald Qiang's.

"Xiaoqiang, your ancestor once worked in the royal kitchen of the palace. If you engage in the catering industry, you will be able to prosper your ancestors' business. Of course, if you don't want to engage in this kind of thing, that's fine. As long as you don't follow evil ways, you may not necessarily become rich. But we can definitely survive droughts and floods without worrying about food and drink." Since the person involved also liked this title, Xia Yunjie naturally didn't bother to worry about the title anymore. He thought about his words for a while and finally pointed out a way to Bald Qiang.

When Xia Yunjie spoke, Bald Qiang was so frightened that Bald Qiang hurriedly moved the chair away. Regardless of the fact that A Biao was still sitting on the edge of the box, he pulled up his clothes, bent his knees, and kowtowed to Xia Yunjie.

Bald Qiang's ancestor did have someone who worked as a servant in the royal kitchen of the palace. Although he was no longer there, some secrets of palace cooking were passed down from generation to generation. Before liberation, the Bald Qiang family was considered wealthy and prominent in the local area based on this craft. Even the great-grandfather who was the head of the family at that time was arrested by the Japanese because of this craft. Later, he somehow offended the little Japanese and died in the little Japanese. hands. At the beginning of the liberation, Bald Qiang's grandfather, as a big landowner in the area, was arrested and shot as a member of the hostile class. Later, Bald Qiang's father gradually became prosperous again because of this cooking skill. However, he did not expect that when the Cultural Revolution came, his ancestor's identity would be discovered, he would be arrested and denounced, and he would later die young. Because father-in-law, husband and even later son all died early due to this skill, although Bald Qiang’s grandmother would sometimes teach Bald Qiang some simple cooking skills from hand to hand, the fact that someone from her ancestors worked in the royal kitchen of the palace was concealed. , without telling Bald Qiang, the old man always felt that this line of work was the source of the Ren family's misfortune. As time went by, not only Bald Qiang didn't know about this matter, but even some old people in the village who knew something about the past had forgotten about it. Even so, Bald Qiang later relied on his cooking skills to run a small restaurant in the village very prosperously. Unfortunately, there was a riot later because the township cadres had to sign IOUs after eating, and the catering business was only half-way. Interrupt. Two years ago, Bald Qiang's grandma was critically ill. Before the old man passed away, he finally told Bald Qiang this history and passed on a yellowed recipe book handed down from his ancestors to Bald Qiang. In the past two years, Bald Qiang relied on the foundation he had laid in the past and his natural interest in the catering industry to ponder this palace recipe every day when he had nothing to do. Sometimes I would entertain the idea of ​​reopening a restaurant, but firstly I was worried about repeating the same mistakes, secondly I didn’t have much money on hand, and thirdly I was used to being idle these years, and I couldn’t bear to let Abiao and other brothers go, so the matter was always shelved. down. Unexpectedly, Xia Yunjie was so powerful that he actually figured out that his ancestor had worked in the imperial kitchen as a servant, and also pointed out a path that really suited him.

"Thank you, Brother Jie. I, the bald man, have never trusted anyone except my grandma before. But from now on, you, Brother Jie, are my reborn parents. From now on, as long as you say a word, Brother Jie, no matter whether it is wind or rain, On the mountain of knives and under the sea of ​​fire, I, Bald Qiang, will never say a word of no!" Bald Qiang said with an awe-inspiring expression after kowtowing.

Xia Yunjie was also on a whim, doing good deeds to make him feel better. Now seeing him say this, he was a little relieved. He smiled and helped him up and said: "If you really want to thank me, just thank all your brothers too." Let me lead you to the right path!"

"Brother Jie, you are really a hero and a good person! Don't worry, even if you don't tell me about this matter, I, Bald Qiang, will definitely not let those brothers continue on this road of no return." Bald Qiang said in awe, Even the grown man was so moved that tears flashed in his eyes.

He wholeheartedly encourages people to do good, what a good person!

Xia Yunjie waved his hands humbly when he heard this. He knew in his heart that he was not a true hero or a good person, nor did he realize that the great his ability, the great his responsibility! It is his ideal in life to be a common man who does not harm society, lives a pleasant life, and cannot be bullied by anyone! Of course, there are some things that Xia Yunjie is happy to do if he can do some good deeds after encountering them, like what happened to Bald Qiang. After all, he just has no ambition, but he is not completely selfish and indifferent.

To put it bluntly, Xia Yunjie is just a small citizen in his heart. The only difference is that he also has a super power.
