Chapter 21 Eat and Drink
Li Yu said he wanted to invite Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing to dinner, so how could the two of them believe it? They were not as strong as Li Yu and had offended Li Yu before. Li Yu could not take any grudges and help Yan Wuliang get rid of his dislocation. All of this decided that they should treat him. The two took Li Yu to a concentrated place in the hotel, and while walking, they were muttering in their hearts.
Strength determines status. With Li Yu's ability, the two of them should not be too low-end to invite him to dinner. You cannot choose places like food stalls. However, it is a lot of money to find a decent place. They are both thieves, and they don't get much money. In addition, they are very generous on weekdays, and now they have less than 500 yuan in their pockets. If the great god is not happy, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
While in a dilemma, Li Yu had already taken a fancy to a restaurant. The store's store's store has a large storefront. Through the shaky floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that the decoration in the store is also quite particular. It looks like a bit classy place, which is quite in line with Li Yu's standards.
It is true that Li Yu can endure hardship, but if he is frugal, it is impossible to talk about how frugal he is. In the past, in order to wait for a goal, he could lie in the snow and eat dry food and pickles for three consecutive days. But once the task is completed and he gets the reward, he always calls his senior brothers and brothers to go to the best restaurant in the city to order a table of dishes and eat it all day long.
The killers in Guihongmen are basically like this. The helm leader Han Zhi never interferes, and even has some indulgence. The killer profession is extremely risky. Everyone pays attention to the fact that they are drunk today. Who knows if they can come back safely when they go out to do business next time?
Li Yu came to Yuhai and only followed Ge Jianyu to have a regular meal outside. Although Li Yu paid the bill for that meal, with Ge Jianyu's stinginess, the two of them only ate less than 50 yuan, which was no different from a boxed lunch. Next, he went to the detention center and ate a prison meal that didn't even have food. He had been hungry for 380 years before he came to modern times. In the words of Water Margin, a bird faded out of his mouth.
Li Yu originally planned to have a big meal for lunch today, but now he met Yan Wuliang and the others, which was just a little bit more. Li Yu was going to ask the two of them about how to apply for an ID card and invite them to have a meal in advance, which would help improve their enthusiasm.
"I think this is good, just this one." Li Yu pointed to the restaurant and said to the two of them.
"Jin Kai Hyatt..." Yan Wuliang looked at the restaurant's signboard, his tongue spitting out half a foot long, and his calves were cramped. He stammered and said, "Why... Brother Li, can we change the place?"
Just now, the two sides had already passed their names. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing did not ask about Li Yu's age, but directly changed their words to call him "Brother Li". Li Yu was not polite. According to their usual nicknames, they called Liangzi and Qingzi respectively, which still followed the rules of judging seniority by fists.
"What, is there any inconvenience in this place?" Li Yu asked.
"This is one of the best restaurants in the entire East New District, it's a bit expensive..." Yan Wuliang's voice lowered octaves. He looked at Li Yu's face carefully and said, "Brother Li, there is only 500 yuan left in Qingzi's pocket..."
"Didn't I say I'm treating you?" Li Yu said, "How much does it cost to have a meal here?"
"If you don't order any hard dishes... 500 yuan is about the same." Yan Wuliang said, and after saying that, he added: "There is also no one who can order white wine, at most you can get some beer."
"You can't blow on the bottle, beer is also expensive." Jiang Jiongqing also added quickly.
"So, if you spend 2,000 yuan, can you eat enough?" Li Yu asked again.
"This is enough, but..." Yan Wuliang touched his pocket and stopped talking.
Li Yu reached out and pushed them on their shoulders, saying, "What do you think? If you say I'll invite me, just go in."
The three of them walked to the door of Jin Kai Hyatt. A waiter wearing a cheongsam helped them open the door, bowed and invited them in, and asked, "Three, do you have any reservations?"
"No reservation." Yan Wuliang said, "Is there a private room for three people?"
"Yes." The waiter responded. She looked at the clothes of the three people and said, "However, our private room has a minimum consumption. The small bags for three people are 1,088 yuan. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"1088 yuan...Brother Li, why don't I be in the hall?" Yan Wuliang asked Li Yu for advice.
Li Yu waved his hand and said to the waiter: "No problem, take us to the private room."
After all, it is a big hotel, and the quality of the waiter is still very high. Although the three of them are dressed in ordinary clothes and are not old, they don’t seem to be able to consume, but the customer said no problem, so she is certainly not convenient for her to say anything. The tricky waiter in the TV series who looks at the customers’ clothes and says, “Can you afford it?” is born to have a slap in the face to make the protagonist pretend to be slap in the face. In reality, it can’t survive three episodes.
According to Li Yu's original idea, he didn't know this era, so ordering dishes should be left to Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing. But when they saw them glance at the cheapest dishes, Li Yu knew that they were not entrusted. He snatched the menu from the two, ordered seven or eight good dishes in one breath, and ordered another bottle of Wuliangye liquor. Yan Wuliang and the other two could not help but salivate when they heard Li Yu's name, but were frightened. They thought in their minds that after this meal, it would be at least in the early 2,000s, would Li Yu really pay for it himself?
The dish came up quickly, and it was indeed full of color, fragrance and taste, which made people's index fingers move. Li Yu greeted the two and then started to do it first. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing were a little restrained at the beginning. Seeing that Li Yu was enjoying eating, the greed in his stomach was also hooked up. The question of how to pay the bill was long ago been left behind by them. The two of them picked up chopsticks and started to feast on them.
After eating for a while, after putting some stuff in his stomach, the three of them started drinking. Yan Wuliang and Jiang Jiongqing made a good gesture of their younger brother and toasted Li Yu one by one. Li Yu did not act hesitantly, and did it as he said he could do it. He saw the bottom of the cup. Soon, the atmosphere in the private room became warm.
"You two are also children from farmers, why don't you do some regular businessmen?"
After three rounds of drinking, Li Yu pointed at the two of them and began to ask. Previously, these two people mistakenly thought that Li Yu wanted to deal with them and rushed to blame each other for each other. This scene made Li Yu's view of them a little better. Li Yu's values are not complicated. He felt that a person who can be loyal to his friends would not be much worse. As for the thief, Li Yu did not think it was a heinous thing in Li Yu's worldview. During the chat, he learned that both of them were from farm families, and Li Yu even had the idea of pulling them.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Yan Wuliang put down his wine glass, sighed, and said, "Who doesn't want to be a regular businessman? Now that I do this, I don't have the shame to see my parents when I go home. People will stab my backbone when I walk on the road. To put it bluntly, no one wants to get a girl. If you can meet us, you must be a female thief. If you become a family in the future, will it be a thief? "
"Our parents both farm and have no backing. We have no education or skills, so what kind of business can we find? If it weren't for life, who would have done this?" Jiang Jiongqing also sighed.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "You can't say that. If you want to do things, you will be worried about not being able to find something to do. For example, where I bought the map today, I am just an old man. You can make money by setting up a newspaper stall. Why can't you do this?"
Yan Wuliang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, you don't understand the affairs of the city. There must be someone behind the old man setting up a stall, or the poor workers on the street can get a stall certificate. If I dare to set up a stall on the road, the city management will come and we will be fined not even able to wear pants."
"Which factory should I go to to do things? I heard that there are 1 million migrant workers in Yuhai, and they can find things to do, so why can't you find them?" Li Yu asked again.
Jiang Jiongqing said: "This is because there are too many wolves and fewer meats. There are many factories in Yuhai, but there are more people coming to work. Those migrant workers from the mainland can endure hardships and have less money. Why should we compete with them?"
"You just say you are lazy to eat." Li Yu said with a smile.
"Well... it's a little bit." Jiang Jiongqing did not deny it.
Yan Wuliang also felt ashamed to speak, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Li, you just said that you would ask us to help if you have something to do, what's the matter?"
"That's right." Li Yu said, telling the two of them the identity he made up. Both of them kept saying a word about Li Yu's experience, and they meant to learn from their masters.
"Let's talk about the matter of becoming a disciple in the future." Li Yu said, and then said, "I have been growing up in Taoist temples since I was a child. I never knew what an ID card was. But now I am in the city and it is hard to move without an ID card. Do you know any way to get a certificate?"
"You mean, get a fake certificate?" Yan Wuliang asked.
"Yes, it's fine if it can be used." Li Yu said.
Yan Wuliang looked at him and said, "It's not difficult to get a fake certificate. You can get one for 200 yuan. You can write whatever you want. However, this kind of fake certificate is to go online at the Internet cafe, find a small hotel to open a room, and fool it. It's almost the same. It really needs to be used to apply for a bank card and deal with the police, so there is no chance. Now the ID card is connected nationwide. The police use their machine to scan it and know whether your information is true or not. You can't get through with a fake certificate."
Seeing Li Yu's confusing look, Jiang Jiongqing explained what Internet inspection is to Li Yu. Li Yu was like listening to a book of heaven, sighing at the magic of modern technology, and at the same time he began to hesitate about the ** matter.
"But that's it." Jiang Jiongqing tickled his mouth and said, "If Brother Li doesn't care about money, he can get a real and fake certificate. This is fine. However, the price may be a bit expensive, and the cheapest is even a few thousand."
