In 1992, salaries in Hancheng County were not high. A worker like Wang Xiaojuan only received around 200 yuan a month. Hu Hongde's income was, of course, higher, at over 500 yuan.

Dongting Hotel is an upscale restaurant in Hancheng. Braised mutton rolls and big plate chicken are considered the roughest dishes in Beijing, but they are the signature dishes of this hotel because they contain a lot of meat and taste good.

A plate of mutton braised rolls contains five pounds of mutton, while a big plate of chicken contains a whole local chicken. As a result, the price goes up. Mutton costs 88 yuan per serving, while big plate of chicken costs 58 yuan per serving.

Therefore, when people from Hancheng order food, they usually don’t order both dishes at the same time. They usually choose one of the two.

This is because Wang Xiaojuan doesn't understand Hu Hongde. In Hu Hongde's heart, friendship is the most important thing. Money cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world, so there is no need to worry about it.

Since the friends came all the way from Beijing, Hu Hongde wanted to treat them with the best, but Wang Xiaojuan couldn't accept it.

After sitting down next to Hu Hongde, Wang Xiaojuan reached out and twisted Hu Hongde's arm fiercely, and asked him in a low voice, "How much does this meal cost?"

Hu Hongde gasped in pain. To be honest, he looked down on Wang Xiaojuan for her pettiness, but if he angered this woman, he would probably be single for the rest of his life.

"About one or two hundred," Hu Hongde said to Wang Xiaojuan in a low voice, "I'll tell you when we get back. You must not embarrass me in front of my friends!"

One or two hundred! Wang Xiaojuan was so angry that she almost died. Her monthly salary was only a little over two hundred, and these people were eating and drinking so recklessly that they were going to eat up all her money!

Han Qing, who was sitting in the main seat, looked over intentionally or unintentionally. He had seen countless people, so he could naturally see why Wang Xiaojuan was so anxious and angry at the moment. "Old Hu, let's have a drink!"

Han Qing wanted to relieve Hu Hongde's embarrassment by drinking, and the latter immediately understood what he meant. Because Wang Xiaojuan suddenly appeared, Hu Hongde did not have time to go home to get some wine, so he drank the barley wine in this store.

Highland barley is a specialty of the northwest and also a grain wine, which meets Han Qing's requirements and is cheap. Top-quality highland barley wine costs only ten yuan per pound.

Hu Hongde personally poured wine for everyone. Except for Su Nian, everyone present used large bowls. The sticky barley wine immediately gave off an enticing aroma when it entered the bowls.

Wang Xiaojuan looked at everyone raising their glasses, and her heart was bleeding again. She felt that these people were eating her flesh and drinking her blood, but she didn't think about the fact that she hadn't married Hu Hongde yet, and she was worrying too much!

It is really too early to plan a man's property as if it were your own before you even get married.

Jenny used to drink low-alcohol liquor, but this barley wine was 53 degrees. There was a burning sensation as soon as it entered her throat. She felt as if her body was burning after drinking it.

"Oh, this wine is good. I'm going to bring some back for Dad. He's sure to like it!" Jenny smiled as she looked at the wine in the bowl and pointed at the dishes on the table. "This meat is delicious too!"

Hu Hongde was immediately cheered up when he heard someone praising him. "I'll give you two kilograms of highland barley wine. Take it back and give it to your father!"

Wang Xiaojuan didn't know that this foreign girl was the daughter of the tycoon Krupp. When she heard that Hu Hongde not only invited everyone to dinner, but also wanted to bring gifts for this foreign girl whom she didn't know, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
