"Come on, Lao Hu, eat!"
Haitian Pavilion.
The steaming dishes were served one by one
Full of gold and jade, delicious food
A table of good food and good wine made Hu Bayi's eyes brighten.
"Oh~~~Order so much?? Fatty, do you have enough money in your pocket?" Hu Bayi sat on the stool, looking at the delicious food on the table with a surprised expression, and couldn't help but sigh.
During these years in the army, he had to eat and sleep in the open, and it had been a long time since he had eaten such a heavy meat dish. If this person was used to eating hard, he would always murmur and be a little uncomfortable when seeing such tempting delicacies.
"Hey! Old Hu, why do you worry about these useless things all day long?" Just when the fat man was about to take action, he was knocked back by Hu Bayi's words, and he quickly reached into his arms and took out a wad of banknotes. He slapped it on the table and said, "See, this money is enough for us to eat this meal. You can eat with confidence. I'll pay for it, brother! Come on, come on, eat quickly!"
Reach out and say hello
The fat man grabbed the chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of roast duck on the table, wrapped them up in a decent manner, stuffed them into his mouth, and started chewing them.
At this moment, Hu Bayi's eyes fell on the pile of banknotes. He subconsciously reached out and touched the banknotes, and looked at the fat man with some shock.
Where did this guy get so much money?
He bought himself a suit, took him everywhere, and ordered a table of delicious food.
Even if this guy sells blood, he can't sell so much, right?
"Hmm! Smells!! Tsk tsk..." The juicy roast duck went into his mouth, and the fat man's mouth was filled with oil. He licked his thumb and said to Lao Hu next to him: "Lao Hu , don’t just look at it, eat it! Hurry up, eat it up, I ordered a whole roast duck today, Fatty!"
"Okay... I'll do it myself!" Seeing the fat man grabbing the chopsticks and about to put them into his bowl, Hu Bayi quickly reached out and interrupted him.
Then he grabbed a few pieces of meat with chopsticks and placed them on the lotus leaf pancake. He also picked up a little sweet noodle sauce, grabbed some chives, put them on, and then slowly stuffed them into his mouth.
His movements were not as rough as the fat man's, but when this good thing entered his mouth, his taste buds that had been in his mouth for so many years were suddenly opened, and he couldn't help but dilate his pupils and nodded.
"How is it? Is it delicious? Hehe... I tell you, this is a first-class good hotel in Beijing. The people who come and go are all big bosses. Today, my brother treats you with such etiquette. , Is it interesting?" The fat man said with a smile while chewing the ribs in his mouth.
Hu Bayi smiled while chewing something in his mouth, then looked at him and said, "By the way, Fatty, where did you get the money? You just said you were grateful to someone, who was it?" "
The two ate and drank and started chatting.
At this moment, Hu Bayi also remembered the lucky star that Fatty said he had met before. Coupled with the fact that the real money was slapped on the table, it inevitably aroused Lao Hu's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask.
The fat man heard the sound and licked the meat oil on his fingers, then poured a glass of wine for Hu Bayi, then approached him and whispered: "Speaking of this, I really need to have a good chat with you. That person is really me. Such a noble man! His aura is awesome..."
The fat man couldn't help but click his tongue, his eyes filled with admiration and emotion.
"Your Excellency??" Hu Bayi looked at the fat man with some doubts, and then looked confused.
The fat man smiled and lowered his voice and said: "Last night, I met a noble man. I hit it off with him. He is the real big boss, a rich man. His words and deeds can only be described as upper class, so , I sold my heirloom jade!"
"Um....."
"Um....."
"ah!?"
The fat man's words went in a big circle.
Hu Bayi nodded frequently after hearing these confusing modifications, and occasionally smiled, laughing at the fact that Fatty's words were still so exaggerated.
But when he heard the most critical information, his expression changed instantly. He who was still smiling just now, his brows instantly knitted together, and the hand holding the hairy crab in his mouth froze instantly.
"Wait a moment!"
With wide eyes, he stretched out his hand to interrupt the fat man's words, and said, "What did you say!? You said you sold the piece of jade your grandfather left you?"
Lao Hu's expression changed very obviously and very quickly.
But the fat man didn't notice it at this moment. He thought it was because Lao Hu was a little surprised that he asked this question.
On the contrary, he raised two fingers very happily and said with a smile: "Yes, do you know how much the boss gave me? Twenty thousand!!"
The fat man pointed excitedly at the environment here, then at the food on the table, and raised his eyebrows at Hu Bayi.
In his eyes, the sale of this jade was not a loss at all, at least the current environment made him feel it was worth it.
But he didn't notice that Hu Bayi's expression had become serious. He glanced at the fat man helplessly, and then said seriously: "Fat man!! That thing was left by your grandfather for you? Are you selling it like this? Already??”
Suddenly, Hu Bayi's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, then he looked at the fat man and said, "Is it because I'm back and you have no money, so you're selling things?"
Hu Bayi's words made the fat man stunned for a moment, and the chewing movement in his mouth stopped instantly. A smile quickly appeared on his fat face, and he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hi... Lao Hu, it's just a piece of jade, just sell it, it won't lay eggs if you keep it in your hands, not to mention if my grandfather knew about my current situation, I guess his spirit in heaven would agree."
"Get out of here, uncle!!" Hu Bayi immediately opened his mouth and cursed after hearing this, and then said: "Can that be what he said? Yes! That thing is not very valuable, it is only a thousand yuan at best. It’s really your skill to be able to sell 20,000 yuan, but that’s what your grandfather left for you. He paid the bandits’ loot back then. Haven’t you been bragging that your grandfather was an elite bandit suppresser these years? ?Why was it sold?? Where was it sold? No!! Come on, I’ll take you to redeem it!”
The honor of a soldier is a supreme honor, especially the trophies obtained from suppressing bandits. The value of that cannot be measured by money at all.
And Lao Hu also knows that the reason why Fatty has often carried this gem with him these years is because he yearned to be a soldier, but he did not have the conditions back then. This is also Fatty's regret for so many years, so he treasures this thing very much. Wherever he goes You have to talk about the time when your grandfather suppressed bandits.
This means that this thing is also very important to Fatty. Hu Bayi knows very well that if he hadn't come back this time, Fatty would actually be able to survive, and he would not sell Baoyu because of this. In the end, this is all own problems,
Although Hu Bayi and Fatty often joke and joke around, the relationship between the two has always been very good. Hu Bayi doesn't want Fatty to sell this thing because of him, because he has no way to repay this love. .......
Seeing Hu Bayi standing up from the stool and dragging himself out, the fat man quickly reached out to stop him and said anxiously: "Oh, oh, oh... oh! Old Hu, I said you Why are you so stubborn? Now that the immortal has passed away, we have to live this life, right? We can't live with these old things for the rest of our lives? After all, in today's society, making money is the most important thing!! Now Now that we have money, everyone will look up to us. Did you see that when I paid for it just now, the girl at the door winked at us?"
"That's what makes Hui Mi Dei." Lao Hu responded angrily.
"Even if it is, it's just ashes on the money!"
The fat man's words made Lao Hu look helpless.
He looked to the side, even though he was a little angry, he was also made to laugh by the fat man's confused reasoning and thoughts.
With this feeling, his mood eased a bit, and was replaced by a sigh. He didn't expect the fat man to think about the current situation so thoroughly.
It seems that he has grown a lot over the years.
But this incident also made Hu Bayi feel a little uncomfortable. Although the fat man was loyal enough to sell Baoyu for himself, Hu Bayi would inevitably feel a little guilty in his heart! Although there is no need to talk about the relationship between Lao Hu and Fatty before.
But people like Lao Hu will inevitably feel a little pressure in their hearts. He will feel that the fat man treats him so generously, but he can't do anything to help him.
This feeling made it difficult for him to accept it for a moment.
Therefore, it is difficult for a smile to appear on the face.
Looking at his complicated expression, the fat man reached out and patted his shoulder, and then said: "Don't think so much, our previous relationship was not that false! And the boss I met this time, He is indeed a character, not only does he spend generously, but he also speaks and does things in a very orderly manner. Fatty, I have never obeyed anyone in my life, and he is the first one."
When Hu Bayi heard what the fat man said, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Oh, it's true! If you have time, I'll show you around!" The fat man sat down, poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and said with a smile.
However, just as the fat man finished speaking, he had just finished clinking the wine glass in his hand and was about to drink it down in one gulp, a familiar voice came from the left side of the hall.
"You don't have to be free, I think... let's do it now!"
