sleepless tonight

Chapter 401 Successful People
"Are you having a good day today? Aren't you in E City?" I was a little surprised, Liu Shuang looked anxious.

"It's true that I'm in E City, but E City is not far from Wuchang. I'll just go and find you. Do you have time today?" Liu Shuang said.

"I have time." I nodded, "Okay, come here if you want. I will pick you up at the train station."

Liu Shuang bought a ticket and told me the train number. I estimated the time and drove directly to the train station, where I picked up her and Wu Suo.

"Let's go to eat directly, and chat while eating." I turned to Liu Shuang and said.

It happened to be meal time. I had stayed here in Wuchang for a few months, and I was familiar with the situation here. Liu Shuang came to see me. She definitely couldn't ask her to pay for the meal. I had to treat her to a good meal.

I drove the car to a hotel.

"It's so high-end here." Looking at the hotel's gate, Liu Shuang sighed.

"Is it very high-end? The food here tastes good, so I brought you here." I didn't feel how high-end the hotel was, and Tang Wan, and Su Ran often went to such a hotel when they were eating.

"Of course it's high-end. The decoration is so luxurious and resplendent. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have dared to go in. I have never been to such a place for dinner." Liu Shuang said.

"Then go and have a taste today." I said with a smile.

I took Liu Shuang and Wu Zhuang into the hotel and asked for a small private room. I handed the menu to Liu Shuang: "Whatever you want to eat, you can order it yourself. You are welcome."

Liu Shuang looked at the menu: "Why is it so expensive? A simple shredded cabbage costs more than 50 yuan?"

"Just order it if you want, it's not expensive at more than 50 yuan." I said, "I have eaten this dish, and it tastes very good."

"Let me take a look first." Liu Shuang didn't rush to order, flipping through the menu, "It's so expensive, according to the price above, a casual meal would cost hundreds of dollars, and it's still three people, if you In E City, hundreds of dollars can afford a big meal."

"The hotel is so well decorated, the price of the food must be set higher, otherwise how can I make money? In fact, the shredded cabbage here costs more than 50 yuan, which is not as good as the shredded cabbage that costs [-] yuan a piece in small restaurants outside. They all taste the same, and they may not even be as delicious as the shredded cabbage in small restaurants outside." Wu Zhuang said, "When you come here to eat, you just come here to pack a bag, and the food is the same. The money spent is enough to eat out for several meals. When people in other hotels see you paying, they may still call you an idiot in their hearts."

Liu Shuang pushed Wu Zhuang: "Don't say that, an expensive place must have its advantages."

"Liu Shuang is right. You get what you pay for. Some things look the same on the surface, but they are actually very different inside. For example, the oil used, in a small restaurant, you can't guarantee that the oil he uses is good. Oil, maybe gutter oil." I said.

"The big hotel can guarantee that the oil used is good oil, isn't it waste oil? You didn't go to the back kitchen to see, maybe the oil he uses is also waste oil, and now waste oil doesn't mean that you just use a package. Look, you can tell it’s waste oil from the outside. It’s possible that the waste oil package looks more like good oil than good oil, and you won’t be able to tell the difference.” Wu Zhuang argued.

"The situation you mentioned may indeed exist, but the probability of encountering waste oil in a small restaurant is definitely higher than that in a big hotel. This involves a problem of probability, and everything has One probability, for example, drunk driving, will there be a car accident? Not necessarily. But the probability of drunk driving is very high. That's why the country has such strict inspections on drunk driving." I said, "Gutter oil is also the problem , and besides the oil, there are other places, so there must be differences.”

"Regardless of the probability or not, there is no guarantee that the oil used in a big hotel is not waste oil anyway, so the example you gave is not valid at all." Wu Zhuang said, "Going to a big hotel to eat is purely for pretending, In order to save face, it has nothing to do with delicious food, the snacks at roadside stalls are much more delicious than those in big hotels.”

Wu So-called was a bit stubborn, and he didn't listen to persuasion, so I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so I looked at Liu Shuang: "Is the dish ready? Let someone serve it after ordering."

"I ordered three dishes." Liu Shuang told me, then turned to look at Wu Zhuang who was on the side, "Look at the menu, do you want to order a few more dishes?"

Wu Zhuang took the menu and glanced at it: "Okay, these three dishes are enough."

"Let me have a look." I reached out for the menu, glanced at it, and said to Liu Shuang, "I'll order two more dishes, this time I'm treating guests, don't be so polite, just order what you want. "

"How can I ask you to pay for it? I haven't told you yet. I am in such a hurry to find you because I need your help with something. I can't ask you for this meal. I will." Liu Shuang said hurriedly, "You If you want to order anything else, just order it yourself, I will treat you."

"I'm a half-landlord when I come to Wuchang, so I can't ask you to invite me. You helped me so much before, so I should treat you to a meal." I definitely won't let Liu Shuang treat me.

"But we have something to ask you for help, so it's not good to ask you to treat us, there is no such thing." Liu Shuang said.

"It's nothing, I didn't ask you for help, order first, and talk while eating when the food comes out." I looked at the menu and ordered two more dishes, which is enough for three people and five dishes.

"Show me the menu." When I was about to pass the menu to the waiter, Wu called me for the menu.

I gave him the menu.

"It's enough to order five dishes. What else are you looking at? Let the waiter serve the dishes." Liu Shuang stood next to Wu Suo and saw the menu.

"I want to drink soup, but there is no soup, I will order another soup." Wu Zhuang said.

"Isn't there hot water, just drink water, what kind of soup should I drink on such a hot day." Liu Shuang frowned.

"Who says you can't drink soup in hot weather? Drinking soup is nutritious." Wu Zhuang said, "And this soup is not very expensive, just over 100 yuan. The soup in this kind of big hotel is better than that in small restaurants. The soup boiled inside is much better.”

"I can't finish it after ordering. There are so many dishes, and it's Chen Jin's treat. Just order five. Don't drink the soup." Liu Shuang seemed a little embarrassed, and whispered to Wu Zhuang.

But I still heard: "If you want to drink soup, you can drink it. It's okay. If you can't finish it, you can pack it. I'll take it home."

"That's right. If you can't finish eating, you can take it away. What are you afraid of?" Wu Zhuang ordered a soup before handing the menu to the waiter.

Wu’s so-called actions and words were somewhat inconsistent. He probably didn’t want him to pay for it. I made it clear that I was a treat, so he changed his attitude and changed his view. For a moment, I felt that the soup in the big hotel was good, so I ordered one.

I can see his thoughts and understand his thoughts, but there is no need to point out some things. If everything is true, I will be too tired before meeting. I invite this meal, not to invite him, but to invite Liu Shuang.

When the food came, I saw Liu Shuang was a bit cautious: "You're welcome, we've known each other for so long, it's just a meal, don't make it look like a blind date meeting, fill your stomach, eat big, and be bold."

Liu Shuang's character is just like her name, she is more cheerful, but today she seems a little awkward.

"I know." Liu Shuang nodded, "Thank you, I let you spend a lot of money. This meal costs hundreds of dollars."

"It's okay, it's only a few hundred dollars, it doesn't matter." I waved my hand, and the celebrity introduced by Shao Siqi was very satisfied with the handling of her scandal. It seemed that he would not only give 200 million dollars, but maybe more.

Although I still owe debts, I can still eat meals worth a few hundred yuan.

"Sometimes when you think about it, many things are really fickle. Last year, A Ke saved a long time of pocket money to buy you a cake, but now you can eat a casual meal for several With a hundred dollars, you have become a successful person." Liu Shuang sighed.

Liu Shuang's words seemed to carry some heavy taste, not jealousy, but simply admiration for life.

"What's the matter, what happened?" I asked her.

"I resigned and plan to open an Internet cafe with Wu So-called and me," Liu Shuang said.
