Chapter 0778 – Aura
Zhuang Rui although not counted as a gourmet eater, but also extremely love to eat, as long as he is in Beijing, often pulling in Yue Jing brother streets and alleys around, really eat a lot of northern characteristics of the signature dishes.
However, Beijing and all the big cities, here can not only only the northern dishes, the eight major cuisines of the north and south of the world can eat, and in the convenient transportation of modern times, even the materials are flown in, extremely authentic.
Drunken Immortal is a Hunan restaurant, Zhuang Rui before with Qin Xuan Bing also came, where the Dong’anzi chicken, red simmered shark’s fin, soup bubble belly is unforgettable, just Hunan cuisine is more spicy, Qin Xuan Bing can not eat more, so the back Zhuang Rui did not come back.
Drunken Immortal’s parking lot is very large, which is a hotel business is good or bad main factors, if the hotel taste is good, no parking lot, that business is also not good to go, on the contrary, even if the taste is general, but the parking space is plentiful, the business is generally not too bad.
This hotel although named building, in fact, is simply a slip of cottages, the lobby is scattered tables, in the back there is a room of independent rooms, decorated very delicate, and business is booming, usually come late can not be booked rooms.
“Brother Ren, why don’t you go in?”
Zhuang Rui just walked into the restaurant, found Ren Chunqiang four people are standing in the place of the bill, Jiang Yi is talking to a manager-like people, several people’s faces are not good.
Ren Chunqiang looked at Zhuang Rui, whispered: “Xiao Zhuang, we came a little late, the box was occupied, this business is good, a moment and a half of the empty out of the box.”
Zhuang Rui the big brother is considered to be more generous, and did not say anything more, just spoke out to explain to Zhuang Rui.
The reason why I came late today, or because of Zhuang Rui’s reason, Jiang Yi booked the time is 6 o’clock, but from the school departure time are more than 6 o’clock, and now it is even faster than 7 o’clock, the hotel does not leave the private room is also a matter of course.
“Manager Zhang, we arrived so late, there is no private room, but also too that right? They are all regulars, you can arrange another private room for us!”
Jiang Yi is a Hunanese, very like to eat Hunan cuisine, this restaurant after the opening of not less to support the scene, and the manager is more familiar.
In fact, if you invite Zhuang Rui alone, it doesn’t matter if you eat in the lobby, but today it’s rare to invite Kan Yuhan here, there is no private room, making Dr. Jiang feel particularly lose face.
“Small ginger, not brother does not help, but …… this, you also see, the lobby are almost full, the package room has long been booked out ah! Yuelu hall I have to stay to six thirty, who knows you seven o’clock to, really no way, or today in the lobby to eat it! Back to brother to send two dishes.”
Dry hotel manager, which is not a character, in fact, six o’clock zero five Jiang Yi has not yet arrived, let out of the private room, but the manager of the Zhang speak very politely, face and give enough, suddenly let Jiang Yi can not speak, but also embarrassed to change the hotel.
Where to eat is not the same ah! Zhuang Rui saw an empty table beside him, so he interjected: “Forget it, just eat in the lobby! Manager, Dong’an Chicken, Golden Fish Playing with Lotus, Yongzhou Blood Duck, Waxed Meat Steaming, Sisters, Ningxiang Flavored Snake, Yueyang Ginger and Spicy Snake each come with one. Right, red simmered shark’s fin on one more, this dish can not get tired of eating, well, and then take two bottles of Maotai, Ms. Kan drink or drink ah?”
Today is Zhuang Rui delayed the crowd’s dinner time, this meal he had intended to treat, see Jiang Yi still want to and that manager grumble, can not help but a little impatient, at that moment simply even wine with dishes, are directly to the point.
Kan Yu Han in this stand also tired, come and go to be looked at very uncomfortable, at the same time said: “I drink drinks on it, you guys also drink less, go back and also drive.”
“Success, then it’s like this! Several senior brothers and sisters take your seats!”
Zhuang Rui waved his hand at that manager and said, “Do you have any eighty-two year old Maotai here?”
“Eighty-two year old Maotai? No, that kind of Maotai is rare.”
Manager Zhang was shocked by Zhuang Rui’s words, to know, eighty-two years Maotai has been more than twenty years of years, the market can rarely be seen, are generally treasured, if you want to buy, at least to more than thirty thousand.
“Oh, then take two bottles of ’95! New Maotai is not used to drinking.”
Zhuang Rui is not showing off, mainly he does not know what the price of eighty-two years of Maotai, but last time, Ouyang Jun took five or six bottles, drinking taste is good, and then drink the new Maotai, always feel that the taste is not right, so he asked in passing.
“This gentleman, the 95 years of Maotai is there, but this price is a little expensive.”
Manager Zhang is not looking down on Zhuang Rui, but this is to be said in advance, otherwise after the meal the wine is more expensive than the food, in case the other party does not recognize the account, that is not looking for trouble!
“How much?” Zhuang Rui casually asked, he is not a swollen face, more money can not be slaughtered ah!
Manager Zhang thought for a moment, said: “Ninety-five years of Maotai two thousand three, if you want two bottles, I give a discount, four thousand five well.”
“Okay, then two bottles first! Go back and ask for more if you don’t have enough.”
Zhuang Rui nodded and casually sent Manager Zhang away, something that seemed very natural to him, but it was a few doctoral brothers who were dumbfounded.
To say that this person has an aura, what the delicate body a shock, the overlord of the gas chaotic hair, that is pure bullshit, you let a never seen the President of the country also do not know what the President of the country, go and the President of the meeting alone, that he certainly do not feel what the aura, is not a well-maintained old man well!
The so-called aura, in fact, mainly in the speech between the people and people interacting with the conversation, the natural flow and can infect the other side of that kind of self-confidence, is called the aura.
Like Zhuang Rui just ordering food and drinks casually, in the eyes of several doctoral students, there is a hint of the flavor of the aura.
At the very least, in the conversation between Zhuang Rui and the manager, it was definitely the east wind overpowering the west wind, Manager Zhang behaved humbly all the time, while Zhuang Rui was natural, as if it should be so.
After a few people sat down, Ren Chunqiang said to Zhuang Rui: “Xiao Zhuang, a few of us will get along with each other for a long time, do not need to be so extravagant, a bottle of several thousand dollars, but also too expensive point! Although none of you are married, you don’t have a job either! It’s better to be frugal.”
Ren Boss is good intention, from the mentor said earlier words can be heard, Zhuang Rui seems to do some business, but look at Zhuang Rui young, body also does not bring those playboy habits, business should not do too much, eat a meal to spend several thousand, let Ren Chunqiang is quite a bit embarrassed.
Professor Meng several doctoral students, only Ren Chunqiang married, and last year in Beijing for a set of houses, although the teacher followed the master’s degree and doctoral degree, and do four or five years of the subject, but also saved some money, but a set of houses all smashed into, is usually spend money more frugal, in front of a few siblings, but also a bit of the bottom of the barrel.
“Ren elder brother, this you can say wrong, I but married people ah! In a few months, I’ll have a child, well, it’s still a dragon and phoenix child!”
As soon as this was mentioned, Zhuang Rui was full of joy, and didn’t care if he was familiar with a few people or not, he happily took out his son and daughter to share.
“Oh? Then first congratulations ah small Zhuang, but in Beijing life is very stressful, usually still have to save a little.”
A few people heard all froze, although this year undergraduates are not strange to get married, and married work and then read a master’s degree is also quite a lot, but read a full-time is not much, usually work while reading, so the pressure will not be very big.
“Oh, this point of money is nothing, today I came late, this meal when I invited everyone, even if to a few people to apologize.”
Zhuang Rui laughed, this Ren elder brother is really a bit of fun, very much a bit of the style of the eldest brother, but Zhuang Rui usually eat outside, rarely is he the one who pays the bill, so it’s no big deal to eat a meal of 10,000 once in a while.
“Reparations and apologies even if, but Xiao Zhuang, in the future or to develop the habit of punctuality, the teacher but do not like people who are not punctual, if you want to often this way, we are not good to speak to you. Moreover, some professors in Beijing University have very strange temperament, if you are late for class, you don’t want the credits, Xiao Zhuang, it’s better to pay attention in the future.”
Zhuang Rui’s words just fell, Jiang Yi’s voice rang out, words without fail to educate Zhuang Rui’s meaning, just now his heart but has been lifted, the reason why he did not dare to speak is afraid to pick up the topic of this meal to him to pay the bill.
To know, although follow Professor Meng can do two or three subjects a year, there are one or two hundred thousand income, but Jiang Yi read the doctoral degree is only more than a year, the money has long been taken out to buy a car to support the door.
Now Jiang Yi hands left ten or twenty thousand dollars, there is no other income, only a few hundred dollars a month living expenses, let him a meal treat off five or six thousand dollars, Dr. Jiang can not afford to, so until Zhuang Rui opened his mouth to say that he treats, Dr. Jiang only active.
However, he said this in a very unleveled way, hearing Zhuang Rui slightly put his eyebrows up.
Ren Chunqiang called himself Xiao Zhuang, that was because he was older than Zhuang Rui’s, but Jiang Yi was at least two years younger than Zhuang Rui, and his old-fashioned mouthful of Xiao Zhuang made Zhuang Rui’s heart very uncomfortable.
People can not have arrogance, but can not be without pride, and then Zhuang Rui these two years to speak is also a word, speech has so a stream of unspeakable confidence, this frown, the atmosphere of the table suddenly became a little dull.
“Oh, a few people, I read Mr. Meng’s master’s degree, just to learn the basic theoretical knowledge, get a diploma or not, it’s not very important to me.”
Zhuang Rui also felt that he just tensed his face, some cold scene, and quickly smiled to explain a sentence, they are working so many years of people, and a student has not yet left the school door to bother about what ah?
