It was said that one afternoon after Huang Ming decided to open a hotpot restaurant.
A bald man in his thirties was sitting on the sofa at home playing with a strange bracelet.
There's something different about his bracelet.
It is composed of nine special-shaped beads with dark color and uneven surface, which look like jade but not jade, like bone but not bone.
The most peculiar thing is that these nine small beads sometimes emit a faint golden light inexplicably.
The bald man was puzzled and always thought this thing was weird, so he would take it out to study and play with it whenever he had free time.
Yes, this bald man is Xiao Hua.
He is an interior decorator and contractor.
Even though Xiao Hua is bald, he looks plump and majestic.
He has a nose as thick as hanging ear lobes, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square mouth, and he also has a very masculine mustache.
At first glance, he looks a bit like a smaller version of Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson.
Of course, it must be the kind of knockoff with only one abdominal muscle.
Just as Xiao Hua continued to be confused about the bracelet, his phone rang, and it was Huang Ming.
Huang Ming was already optimistic about the address of the hotpot restaurant, and Xiao Hua was tricked into being a small shareholder from his circle of friends.
No chores will be mentioned during this period.
It is only said that the hot pot restaurant was successfully opened after Xiao Hua's design and more than four months of decoration.
Opening day, that was it.
Banners filled the walls and flower baskets were everywhere, flags were fluttering and covering the sky, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were noisy, people were coming and going, and the sound of celebration was deafening.
When the signboard of "Building No. 2 Old Hotpot" was officially unveiled.
The various small shareholders who were fooled by Huang Ming couldn't wait to lead them and they publicized it countless times.
I invited various relatives and friends who have been invited numerous times to sit down and taste it.
It was as if the scene was free of charge, and the thick and dark crowd rushed in directly.
The strength of this team is just different.
In the beautiful nostalgic industrial decoration style of the hot pot restaurant.
In the authentic old hot pot taste and in the rich ingredients that are different from ordinary hot pot.
Also amid the constant publicity from small shareholders, relatives and friends,
"Building 2 Old Hotpot" became an instant hit.
From the second month after opening, there has been a queue all day long.
It has become the best restaurant in the creative park where the hot pot restaurant is located.
One weekend after that.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua, as well as Yang Xukuan, Shen Hu, Lao Su, Lao Li, Li Yanxue and other best friends.
Sitting around a round table in a hot pot restaurant.
These people are all small shareholders who were deceived by Huang Ming, and they are also bad friends who will drink with him until they vomit.
Now that the hot pot restaurant is on the right track, it is natural to celebrate.
They had such a great meal.
The animals in the mountains include swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep on land, and delicacies in the sea. There are fish from the East China Sea, yak tripe from the West Mountains, pheasants from the Nanling Mountains, and wild boar legs from the Beigou.
A combination of meat and vegetables, hot and cold fried, yellow, white, red and green to the eye, spicy, sweet, sour and salty to the nose, all kinds of signature dishes are enough.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's topics have drifted away from the store to all kinds of gossip about the world and scenery.
Huang Ming held the wine glass and chatted with Xiao Hua next to him with a red face.
"Hey, Liangdan, are you still playing games recently? Warcraft or Darkness?"
"Don't tell me you're playing in that league, that league that only elementary school students play in?"
"I haven't played anymore for a long time, and there are pig teammates like Lao Niu here."
“As soon as I hit the dungeon, I feel like vomiting and I don’t want to play anymore.”
Xiao Hua shook his head.
The old cow he talks about is actually a beautiful woman and one of the minority shareholders.
Lao Niu's name was Deng Liu. Because her name was homophonic, people jokingly called her Geng Geng, and later called her Geng Niu.
Later, he screamed and screamed and turned into an old cow for some reason.
She is Huang Ming and Xiao Hua's pig teammate in the game.
"That's true. If you have Lao Niu, you will really need to spend some cards."
"Then why don't you play games? Do you hide at home and watch action movies every day?".
Huang Ming smiled evilly.
"What's so good about action movies? Let me tell you, my interest has been heightened."
"I like reading books now, especially those ancient Chinese studies that are difficult to understand."
"For example, um, the Book of Changes."
"puff……".
As soon as Xiao Hua finished speaking, Huang Ming sprayed Xiao Hua's bald head with a sip of wine.
"You sprayed me, what about it?".
Xiao Hua was stunned by the spray. He was stunned for a moment before quickly using a tissue to wipe his face.
"Oh, unexpected, no, I'm talking about Liangdan, please don't tease me, okay?"
"You read the Book of Changes before you even graduated from elementary school. No wonder you are losing your hair."
This Huang Ming is really damaging. He just doesn't believe Xiao Hua is reading the "Book of Changes".
Not only did he spray beer on Xiao Hua's head, he also took the opportunity to make fun of Xiao Hua's bald head.
But there is no way, who calls them harming friends, not harming others.
"Hey, don't believe it, I have loved ancient Chinese literature since I was a child."
“When I was in school, classical Chinese was my strong point.”
"Now I not only read the "Book of Changes", but also all books that tell ancient anecdotes and are difficult to understand."
"Have you heard of "Push Back Picture"? I am reading this book recently."
"I said, Liangdan, don't read these books. No wonder you became bald in your thirties."
Huang Ming continued to tease.
"I'm called extremely smart. Believe it or not, I just like all kinds of ancient books and anecdotes."
"By the way, in addition to reading, I also like to collect Buddhist beads and bracelets. What do you think of my bracelet?"
After speaking, Xiao Hua raised his wrist, revealing his strange bracelet.
"Huh? What is your bracelet made of? Why is it so weird?".
Huang Ming was very curious.
He reached out and took off the bracelet from Xiao Hua's wrist and took it into his own hand.
"I don't know what this is either."
"This bracelet looks like jade but not jade, and looks like bone but not bone, although it is dark in color and has uneven surfaces."
"The size of each one is different, but that's what makes me feel special."
"And I didn't buy this bracelet. I picked it up when I traveled to a snow area last time."
Xiao Hua was a little proud when he said this, picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself.
"You picked it up? No? Why can't I pick it up?"
Huang Ming didn't believe it.
"Really, I didn't lie to you. Last time I drove to the snow area with my friends."
“I originally planned to take National Highway 318, first to Linzhi and then to Sunshine City.”
“But the Tongmai Bridge leading to Linzhi was broken at that time.”
"We can only take National Highway 317, first to Nagqu and then to Sunshine City."
When Xiao Hua mentioned that he had traveled to the snow area, he became more interested and talked to Huang Ming more and more enthusiastically.
"Hey, are you two talking about the snow area?"
“The snow area is a place I’ve always wanted to go, but I just never had the time.”
"Hey Xiao Hua, why don't you tell us about your last trip to the snow area today?"
A bull's head sticks out of the horse pen.
Shen Hu, who was sitting aside, suddenly interjected with excitement on his face.
Shen Hu is Huang Ming's junior high school classmate.
He looks like a tiger with a strong back and waist, a face like purple jade, a straight nose, a square mouth, and big ears facing his arms.
Two silk-worm eyebrows and a pair of tiger eyes, two eyes glaring, spinning around, white and white.
"Yes, yes, we have long planned to travel to snowy areas, but we just haven't had the time."
"Xiao Hua, you seem to have only gone there the year before last. Hurry up and talk to us carefully."
Lao Su also intervened.
Old Su's name is Su Lei. He is extremely myopic and wears a pair of thick myopia glasses.
But this old Su is not very good-looking.
The head of the gatehouse is pulled forward, the hollow eyes are dug in, the nose is thin and the mouth is stretched forward, and the ears are pointed toward the chest.
He looks a bit like Big Brother.
The wine table became quiet for a while, and everyone began to look forward to Xiao Hua's story about his trip to the snow area.
