Chapter 333 Alcohol
Liu Lin suddenly remembered that the woman who moved things was introduced by Xue San. In this case, Xue San would come. In case the woman didn't come later, at least Xue San knew where she lived and was easy to find.
"I haven't come yet." Liu Lin replied, "I'm also waiting for her."
"It's so strange." Xue San shook his head: "I know this woman's work. She is very cool and never drags. I remember you told her that the red star rises, so let her come here, right?"
"That's what I said." Liu Lin confirmed.
"Now the stars can be seen at night. Counting the time, she should have arrived for a long time, which is a little abnormal." Xue San's words were worried.
"Don't worry, women inevitably have something else to do, and I'm not in a hurry for a moment." Liu Lin couldn't see others worrying about his own affairs, so he comforted Xue San. Well, Xue San, let's wait for her while eating. Originally, Xue San came to invite him to dinner, but this was in response to what he said in the afternoon. However, after these words, Liu Lin's heart was a little calmer than just now. He began to feel sorry for the anxiety just now. Maybe he has been too busy recently, otherwise how could he be so inhumane?
Liu Lin stood up without waiting for Xue San's words, walked a few steps away, then called the clerk over and whispered, "Bring up all the dishes prepared by the kitchen today."
"Account room, it's winter now, and the dishes won't be broken for a few days. There are no guests today, and there are a lot of things left in the kitchen." The man replied.
"How many tables can be set for the rest?" Liu Lin asked.
"It can probably set three tables." The guy made a brief estimate and then answered Liu Lin.
It seems that today's business is really not good, and Liu Lin is very sad. Well, you pick up the affordable food, the first half of the table, the rest are put away, and we will continue to sell tomorrow. Liu Lin changed his instructions.
In order to cope with many guests at the mouth of the meal, a large restaurant like Guihualou will cook some of the hot-selling dishes in advance, and they can be served immediately after the guests order. Because the cook in the kitchen is very experienced, usually, this kind of advance preparation is left. Even if there is a little left, it will be divided privately by the cook behind. Seeing that the business is not good today, he decided that there would be a surplus, but he didn't expect that there would be so much left.
After completing the explanation, Liu Lin returned to Xue San's table.
"Liu account room, look, it was clearly said during the day. Just give me a small dish. A small dish is enough to cover the money to carry the sedan chair." Xue San's face was full of shame, and he rubbed his hands as he spoke.
"Xue San, you don't know this. For a restaurant, the most important thing is to eat and drink. Don't hesitate to eat when you come here." Liu Lin originally wanted to escape the silver in his arms to Xue San, but on second thought, if he gave it to him like this, he seemed to see it clearly. Xue San also looks like a man, and excessive charity is an insult to him.
The dishes are ready-made in the kitchen, so the speed of serving is very fast. Although Liu Lin said that it is half a table, because the standard of the "table" in the kitchen is one table for four people, and it is set according to a relatively sufficient amount, this half of the table of affordable dishes is enough for Xue San to eat. Liu Lin had something in mind and didn't have any appetite, so when he talked to his buddy, he didn't add his share in advance.
"This... this is too rich, how embarrassing?" Xue San was more cramped, but the big man seemed a little awkward.
"Xue San, I have made a friend of you. You're welcome. Just eat it. I will trouble you in the future." That being said, Liu Lin didn't know what he would trouble a sedan chairman to do.
"Since Liu's account room said so, the place that will be useful to me in the future will definitely die." After Xue San said this, he was no longer modest and shook off his cheeks and began to eat.
Liu Lin hasn't seen anyone eat like this for a long time. Although there are all kinds of diners in the Osmanthus Building every day, those diners - even if their living conditions are not very good, when they come here, they also pay attention to eating and self-restraint. Few people will be immersed in pure eating like Xue San. Among them.
Xue San's eating appearance is very ugly. His chewing sound is very loud, and he can even see some juice thrown out of his mouth from time to time in the air. His fingers are extremely greasy. This is sticky from the piece of beef just now. He did not wipe it, but directly grabbed the spoon and drank a big mouthful of soup. Suddenly, the original The handle of the white magnetic spoon is also covered with a layer of grease, which is very beautiful against the light.
Liu Lin was not only attracted by himself. Liu Lin looked around and found that the clerks in the lobby also stretched out their necks to look at Xue San. Maybe they haven't seen such a diners for a long time. During this period, Liu Lin wanted to start a topic countless times. After all, if there were only chewing sounds around him, he was a little too embarrassed as a person sitting with diners, but Liu Lin "hey" a few times, but Xue San didn't hear it and didn't even look up. He was immersed in the speed of pure diet, a little I don't pay attention to the things around me.
Liu Lin later gave up. Anyway, he invited Xue San to dinner. As long as he was happy, he was also happy. When Xue San came in at the beginning, the big reason why Liu Lin was so disgusted was that he thought that when he accompanied him after this, he would say endless words to enhance the relationship between the guests. Now, nothing he was worried about didn't happen at all.
This chewing sound lasted for a while, and Liu Lin found himself hungry. Originally, I didn't want to eat at all, but my stomach, which seemed to be dead, moved little by little and played a song of hunger. Liu Lin had been hungry at noon. He thought it would be the last time, but who would know that he actually experienced this rare feeling twice a day. He tried to pick up a piece of beef on the plate with his chopsticks. Just as his chopsticks were about to touch the beef, Xue San suddenly raised his head.
This shocked Liu Lin. The first thing he thought of was the dog he had raised before. Even if he was usually close to the dog, once he touched its food when the dog was eating, the docile dog would show a fierce appearance and then make a vague roar from their throats.
Liu Lin thought Xue San would do the same, but he was wrong. Xue San raised his head with a smile on his face. He said in a voice mixed with food: "I thought Liu's account room wouldn't eat with people like me. It seems that I was too careful." Then he continued his chewing.
Frankly, Liu Lin has such an idea. In the face of Xue San, he had more of a feeling that he wanted to let him go, but in the pure chewing communication, he slowly put down this idea. The beef on the plate tasted very good. Liu Lin found for the first time that the cook in Guihualou was so good, so he couldn't stop eating the chopsticks in his hand and began to eat it.
Of course, for Liu Lin, it is impossible for him to eat and drink without tolerance like Xue San in public. Once that happens, although he can get along better with Xue San, these guys can no longer lead.
After eating some vegetables, Xue San removed the seal of the wine jar next to him and did not pour it into the glass, but drank it directly in the jar. The sound of "dong-dong" is like the flow of a clear spring in the mountains.
The wine jar on the table is not big, but there are also two catties of wine in it. Xue Sanchang took a sip and put the wine jar on the table again. Liu Lin has worked in the Osmanthus Building for a long time. He is very experienced in this. Judging from the sound of falling from the wine jar to the table, Xue San drank more than a catty in one bite.
Others think that Wu Song is a big drinker, but Liu Lin knows that Wu Song can drink a lot, but that's all in front of people. Wu Erlang is indeed brave, but he has a huge weakness in his personality, which is too good to face. Many times, he drinks in front of those officials. Obviously, he doesn't want to drink anymore. Because of his affection, he will continue to drink down forcibly.
Liu Lin knows that what brings Wu Song happiness is only a catty of wine at the beginning. Of course, the wine behind will not make him drunk, but happiness is no longer there. No matter how mellow the wine is, it is also a kind of bitter suffering.
Wu Song usually only drinks half a catty when there is no one and he is fine and in a stable mood. This is the conclusion made by Liu Lin's secret observation. But Xue San was different. He drank more than a catty in one sip. Xue San's status was low, and there was no reason to drink for face. What he experienced was the pure joy of drinking. It seems that carrying the sedan chair is a kind of heavy manual labor, which greatly exercises Xue San's physique and also promotes his drinking capacity.
Although Liu Lin also understands that drinking too much does not mean anything, he can't help but have an inexplicable good impression on such a person. He feels that such a person is bright and bold.
Thinking about this, Xue San had drunk the remaining small catty of wine, and shook the bottom of the empty jar up to ensure that every drop of wine fell into his mouth, and then burped with satisfaction. At this time, Liu Lin looked at the dishes on the table and had been eaten cleanly.
"Do you need some more?" Liu Lin asked tentatively, hoping that Xue San could eat more and be full of favors.
"No, Liu Account Room, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality." Although he drank two catties of wine, Xue San was not drunk at all. Those wines have become a high spirit and integrated into his tone of speech.
At this time, suddenly there was a scattered footsteps from the door of the Guihua Building. Liu Lin hurriedly looked at it and saw a man staggering in carrying a burden, and then suddenly fell to the ground.
