Chapter 157

Wang Guoqing was hit by a palm, howled, and leaned back to increase the distance between the two people.

"Uncle, you are not reluctant to leave, are you?"

Xiao Lian froze, his jaw shaking with anger, but he was reluctant to let go.

"Who can't bear to give it up? Who can't bear to give it up? This is a bad habit of yours, don't you know?"

"I haven't even paid for this thing yet, and you dare to open it!"

Wang Dachui nodded quickly, "Guoqing, what my uncle said makes sense. You really shouldn't do this!"

After saying that, he pointed to the purse in Xiao Lian'an's hand and said, "Uncle, Guoqing has realized his mistake. He will remember it next time. Let's forget about it this time. Anyway, you have already taken out the money."

Wang Guoqing nodded flatteringly, "Yes, yes, we can't compare with you, uncle. You are the most promising elder among our relatives. You may be tired of drinking Moutai. This is the first time we have seen it!"

"Oh, it smells so good! I think I'll remember this scent forever."

"Uncle, when I become successful in the future, I will definitely treat you to a drink."

Song Jingzhou looked at the person coming in and reminded him at the right time, "Mayor, hurry up. I'm starving."

"There are customers behind us, don't delay the waiter's work."

Xiao Lian had no choice. The ticket had already been opened and he couldn't return it. He could only bite the bullet and take out another Great Unity ticket from his wallet.

The waiter quickly took the money and issued a receipt, reading out the menu loudly.

"Okay, one braised fish fillet, one mushroom soup, one stir-fried potato shreds, one pork vermicelli noodle, one steamed pork with bamboo shoots and rice flour, a bottle of Maotai, and eight servings of rice. The total is 12.68 yuan, five liquor coupons, and food coupons..."

"Here are your tickets, take them and please find a seat first."

At a table at the door, two men with their heads lowered looked at Su Qingci and his group cautiously.

"Brother Jun, right? It's that bitch Bai Feifei."

Da Jun's face was sullen. "You're not mistaken, but the other party is quite powerful."

"Didn't you hear them calling him mayor or captain?"

"I guess he's a public official from the town down there."

Tianji listened to the fear in Dajun's mouth and gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, "Damn it, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"Brother Long has the County Party Committee behind him. How could he be afraid of a bunch of country bumpkins?"

"Brothers have been badly hurt by that hoof during this period."

Although Da Jun looked very ugly, he still maintained a bit of rationality.

"Brother Long has had a tough time lately. If it were just an ordinary person, we would have taken revenge on him. But since they are not ordinary people, we should not make things more complicated."

"Even though we can't confront them head-on, we can still teach them a lesson in private."

A malicious glint flashed in Da Jun's eyes. "Tianji, I remember you seemed to know Li Mingliang from the kitchen?"

"Yes, he's from our alley, and we've been at odds since we were little."

"Well, you can go to the kitchen later under the pretext of looking for him..."

The two of them discussed things furtively and soon parted ways.

The army headed towards the north city to look for Brother Long, while Tianji went around the small woods behind.

Then he went around the alley next door and headed towards the back door of the state-owned restaurant.

The aunt who was washing vegetables looked at Tianji who was peeking out and asked, "Little comrade, this is the kitchen. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Are you looking for someone? I'll call it out for you."

Tianji looked at the basket of mushrooms at the aunt's feet and said with a smile, "I'm looking for Li Mingliang. Please call him."

The aunt shook her hands, stood up and walked inside.

Seeing this, Tianji quickly took out a few mushrooms from his sleeves, brushed them in water twice, broke them into pieces, and threw them into the cleaned fresh mushroom basin next to him.

To be on the safe side, I also scooped up a handful of fresh mushrooms to cover the handful of chopped mushrooms that were thrown in.

"Right outside."

"Huh? Where's that person? How come he disappeared in a moment?"

The aunt who was washing vegetables came out from the kitchen with a young man wearing an apron, and then kept looking towards the alley.

"I just told him to wait here!"

Li Mingliang looked anxious, "Auntie Tian, forget it if you leave. I'm still busy here."

"There are still many dishes that haven't been cut yet. The chef will start scolding me soon. I'll go in first."

"Hurry up and wash it too, the customers are urging us to serve the food."

Inside the hotel.

Xiao Lian has been lost in thought since he sat down.

They came to the county town for a competition on official business, so why should he pay for their meals?

No, he would have to find an excuse to get the meal reimbursed when he got back.

Otherwise, Wang Yanli would have buried him for losing one-third of his salary for no apparent reason.

Even the town's accountant is too old-fashioned and unreasonable. What excuse can he make?

Su Qingci and the others were laughing and in high spirits. No one noticed Xiao Lian's sudden silence. They each took up their wine glasses and poured themselves some wine.

Wang Dachui looked intoxicated, holding the cup to his nose and sniffing gently, "No wonder they charge 8 yuan, it smells so good."

Feng Jianjun took a sip and said politely, "The sauce aroma is prominent, elegant and delicate, the body is mellow, and the aftertaste is long. Good wine, good wine!"

Xiao Yuehua's eyes were full of stars. Her man was so cultured and spoke so nicely.

He bumped Su Qingci with his shoulder and winked, "Qingci, we are all in your good graces!"

Seeing that she had knocked Su Qingci crooked, Song Jingzhou quickly helped her up and glared at her like a knife.

Xiao Yuehua's smile froze, and she quickly gave him a flattering smile, "Captain Song, thank you for lending the mayor the wine ticket."

Seeing that he still had a bad look on his face, he could not help but shut up.

Why is this man so sarcastic and always gets angry? He is not even half as good as her Jianjun. It turns out that men from the countryside are no match for those in the city.

The dishes were served quickly and the portions were very generous, with almost every dish coming in a large bowl.

Everyone came without any prior notice, and everyone was quick-eyed and quick-handed, with their target being the main dish, steamed pork with rice flour.

After filling their stomachs with two large pieces of meat, everyone slowed down their chopstick movements and began to raise their glasses frequently.

The cooking skills of the chef in this state-owned restaurant are impeccable.

The steamed pork with rice flour is fresh, fragrant, soft and glutinous, fat but not greasy and melts in your mouth.

The braised fish pieces are bright in color and fragrant.

The shredded potatoes are refreshing, and the pork stewed with vermicelli is sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, which is full of fragrance.

The fresh mushroom soup is thick, delicious and sweet.

But halfway through the meal, everyone started shaking their heads.

"Is this Moutai really that intoxicating? I've only had two small glasses, and the world is spinning!"

Xiao Lian seemed to be drunk. He held his palm up in front of his eyes and muttered, "It's raining, it's raining. Such big drops, and they're pentagonal!"

Su Qingci shook her head, "This alcohol is really strong!"

As a result, as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she discovered a magical phenomenon.

As she spoke, six small suns as big as fists shot out of her mouth and flew directly towards Wang Dahammer on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, she was stunned.

"How come even I'm a little drunk? Come on, everyone, have a bowl of soup to sober up."

Everyone listened to Su Qingci's words and fumbled to get half a bowl of fresh mushroom soup and drank it.
