Chapter 116 Paper Tiger
"Brother, well, don't help me pay for today's meal. When you first came to the capital, you and I met each other again and accompanied me with me. Four hundred taels of gold are all charged to my account. Next time you go to my place to settle accounts, it's okay to have a holiday together." The fat man was stunned for a moment and suddenly said. The first half of these words were looking at Wu Da's words, and the second half was looking at what the clerk said. Obviously, he was helping the clerk make this round.
"No! Brother, my younger brother said that I will treat you to this meal today. Since I have said so, I have to do this. Although I am short and not much taller than the wooden pile, but what I said, the saliva I spit out is a nail that can be firmly nailed to the wooden pile. If you don't cut off the stake, don't pull out the nail. Wu Da patted his front heart as he spoke, as if he were the wooden stake that was about to be cut off. But at this time, Wuhan University suddenly thought that if he was really a wooden stake, what was the nail on the wooden stake? Is it the work between two (harmonious) legs? Maybe, in this case, I really don't want to pull out the nails without cutting the stakes.
"Why do you need a good brother? You came all the way to the capital with so much gold in your bag. There must be something important. I think there are about 500 taels of gold in the bag. You took out 400 taels at once, isn't it a delay in doing business? You see, even if you sell my brother's face, this meal will be remembered on my head. If there is a chance in the future, brother, you can invite me again. We can find a cheaper place, or wait until you finish your work and have all the money on hand. Do you think this is okay? The fat man is kind to persuade. The tone of his speech is significantly different from that of what he just spoke, and this persuasion contains more careful consideration.
"The lower meal is the lower meal, and this meal is this meal. Brother, although I come from the countryside and am short, I am a man and must fulfill my promise. Today's matter is not to give the eldest brother face. Even if this matter is to make the eldest brother unhappy, I must do so, even if I will go to apologize to the eldest brother and admit the punishment. It's not that Wu Da didn't hear the deep meaning of the fat man's words. The fat man has made it clear that he should continue to make friends with Wu Da. Otherwise, how could he have a next meal? Since I promised this, I will definitely tell Wu University the address and at least give a contact information. Otherwise, how can we meet again? But the stubbornness hidden in the depths of his personality makes Wu Da compete with him. He doesn't want to be on this issue, and he doesn't want the man's mocking eyes to become a thorn that will always be nailed to his heart.
What's wrong with the people in the countryside? What's wrong with the dwarf? When the man was angry, his blood splashed five steps! I can't fight for the hope of the future, and I don't want to be soar in the future. After paying for these 400 taels of gold, I will go out of the capital tomorrow to find a small place. This hundred taels of gold is enough for me to live a lifetime. The only purpose of making money and status is to make myself live more dignified, to make money and status make up for the height gap, so that those tall people who grow up also need to look up to see me clearly. Since this is the ultimate purpose, we must not lose all this at the beginning of everything. For people There must be a limit to mocking. Although Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, could bear the humiliation, but if the person who insulted Han Xin that day asked Han Xin to take off his clothes and cut off the work between his legs in public, Han Xin would certainly not be able to stand it and would fight with the other party. Therefore, everything has a bottom line. When it exceeds this bottom line, even the most humble life will express anger in its own unique way.
As soon as Wu Da said this, the expression on the fat man's face stiffened. He obviously did not expect that Wu Da would really refute his face, so that the anger that should have been shown immediately delayed climbing on his cheek for a long time. Country bumpkin, don't be flattered! I'm talking to you, and it's already given you a lot of face. Don't be shameless. Gritting his teeth, every word is squeezed out of the teeth of the cracked lips.
And Wu Da simply ignored the fat man. All his attention was on the guy: "Say, why is this dish so expensive? I'm not scaring you. I can take so much money with me, and I can take out more money, and this more money can easily take away some of your treasures. Wu Da has already brought a threat when talking to his buddy, because he has vaguely felt the reason. If this is just a very expensive restaurant, there is no need for the fat man to be so** about this problem. Wu Da instinctively felt that the price of this restaurant may be high due to the frequent guests.
Like the two dishes "Jinwu Zangjiao" and "Four Seas", in fact, they may not taste good, but they have a common feature that they are very troublesome to make. And those who are willing to consume this kind of trouble must be those who can no longer get the pleasure of appetite in terms of color and fragrance. Only in this way can the explanation be explained.
That is to say, it is likely that it is because of the unique dishes and noble prices formed by the inherent customer group. Wuda has also personally seen this kind of thing, and there are examples in Yanggu County. Of course, Guihualou is not such a place. In essence, Guihualou is facing most people in Yanggu County. Even people who are not very well-off, even Liba on the street, will occasionally go to the lobby of Guihualou to order a few dishes and have a drink for a little happiness. And the more rich people will naturally go to the elegant room of the Osmanthus Building to eat, not eat and drink with these Liba, and make a lot of noise.
But on West Street in Yanggu County, there is a place called Xijiang Tea House. Since the name is teahouse, it should be for the poor, similar to the place under Wang Po. But because Xijiang Tea House is built on West Street, the location is very good, surrounded by large shops. Generally, shop assistants have to eat in the store at noon, so as not to delay business. The lowest one who can come out and hang out has to be at the shopkeeper level. Of course, most of them are owners. After all, the shopkeeper has to deal with some daily affairs on the cabinet.
Slowly, Xijiang Tea House has formed this unique customer circle, that is, only the owners and shopkeepers of large businesses in Yanggu County go there. If others come in to eat, it is a bad rule. However, since it is called a teahouse to welcome guests, it is inevitable that there are some people who don't understand the situation, or people who like to get involved are forced in, and the teahouse can't fork out the guests who come to dinner. Therefore, Xijiang Tea House changed its recipe. Unlike Wang Po's teahouse, the direct result of changing the recipe is a great increase in prices. Poor people and those who like to join in the fun must be deterred from such an amazing price. Thus, a teahouse belonging to the venue of the Yanggu Chamber of Commerce was born.
Wu Da once discussed this issue privately with others at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Wu Da was very surprised why these shopkeepers were willing to spend more money to go to a teahouse for dinner? Later, someone explained to Wu Da that in fact, the owners and shopkeepers were really happy to go there for dinner. On the one hand, this is a sign of identity. If it were not for those who have made certain achievements in business, they would not have entered Xijiang Tea House. For example, Ximenqing, it is said that he is not welcomed by Xijiang Tea House. On the other hand, eating at Xijiang Tea House is actually more effective than attending the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone exchanges information, and this communication is carried out every day, and the grasp of the market is much more accurate. Naturally, it is easier to make money.
Thinking of this, Wu Da's mind was clear. It seems that this unknown dining place is likely to be a "Xijiang teahouse" in a sense in the capital, and he is just the stupid boy who strayed into the teahouse. In this way, I understood everything, so there was always ridicule on his face.
It is also because of this speculation that Wu Da added a threat to his words. He wants the fat man and the guy, at least the clerk, to have the illusion that Wu Da is also a member of these groups that often come here for dinner, but he has just come here and is not very familiar with the situation. First, he has to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and now, he is ready to show his sharp teeth.
Of course, Wu Da has no sharp teeth, but he hopes others will think so. Fear is an invisible thing, and fear of Billy's sword hurts more.
"This..." The man was still hesitating, and his eyes swept to the fat man, hoping that the fat man could give some assistance again. However, when the man didn't look at the fat man, Wu Da followed the man's eyes and looked at the fat man, and the fat man's expression was also that kind of implied anger and did not show too much. After a few rounds, the man's expression loosened, and finally he gave in.
"Grandpa..." This name appeared in the clerk's mouth, but when he said "Grandpa", his eyes were not at the fat man, but at Wu Da.
Haha, the threat worked. The buddy's psychological defense was conquered. Wu Da was ecstatic in his heart. He never thought that the so-called capital, the so-called arrogant guys in the capital, turned out to be just a paper tiger. As long as he tried hard to fight to death, those mirror-like horror scenes would disappear in an instant.
"Well, the little man's tricks are not bright, the little man's dog looks down and humiliates you. So far, if you have any instructions, I will do everything. Dude has completely compromised.
"Well, that's about the same." Wu Da nodded. Tell me why this dish is so expensive?
