Chapter 156
The man in the alley was one of the younger brothers who followed Brother Long.
Because his mouth is a little protruding, he got the nickname Frog.
To be on the safe side, Tianji approached the state-owned restaurant and confirmed Su Qingci's appearance again.
That’s right, it was indeed Bai Feifei who caused their place to be raided.
A feeling of resentment rose in his heart. It was this little bitch who caused their place to be raided and many of their brothers to be imprisoned.
Even those who didn't get into jail are now wandering around and have no stable income at all.
Because he lost this source of income, he became so poor that he couldn't even afford a drink, and was looked down upon everywhere.
It's a world of difference compared to the glorious days when I followed Brother Long.
And this Bai Feifei was the one who made him fall from the sky.
His eyes swept over Xiao Lian, Xiao Yuehua and others, and finally stayed on Song Jingzhou for two seconds.
If he guessed correctly, this was the Shen Lang next to Bai Feifei.
Judging from the looks of Su Qingci and the others, they should be having dinner at a state-owned restaurant.
He probably won't leave for the time being.
Tianji's eyes rolled around for a while, then he immediately turned around to look for Brother Jun.
Everyone in the store was looking at today's menu with great interest, and had no idea what was happening outside.
Today, the dishes served in state-owned restaurants are very rich, with five courses.
They are steamed rice noodles with meat and dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried shredded potatoes, mushroom soup, braised fish cubes, and pork stewed with vermicelli.
The staple foods include white rice, steamed buns, and white noodles.
There are also large meat buns sold separately.
Xiao Yuehua looked around excitedly. It was a large hall with more than ten tables.
At this time, more than half of the customers were already seated in the store.
Wang Guoqing and Wang Dachui finally had to call Xiao Lian "uncle".
The two of them had a much closer relationship with Xiao Lian than the other team members, and they immediately started ordering dishes without hesitation.
"Uncle, there are eight of us here, and we all have big appetites. It's not too much to give each of us a portion, right?"
Xiao Lian looked at the prices on the menu.
Braised fish fillets are 50 cents.
Fresh mushroom soup is 28 cents.
Steamed rice noodles with dried bamboo shoots and meat are priced at 1.5 yuan per portion.
Stir-fried shredded potatoes cost 1.8 cents.
The price of pork stewed with vermicelli is 80 cents.
If you add the price of rice, it would be about four yuan, not including the ticket.
Seeing that Xiao Lian didn't say anything, Xiao Yuehua's eyes rolled around, and she immediately pulled Su Qingci to ask.
"Qingci, judging from the mayor's expression, could it be that he is reluctant to let it go?"
Su Qingci immediately raised her voice and criticized, "If you don't know how to speak, then don't say anything nonsense. The mayor's words are his bond, and he's the most generous person. How could he be reluctant to give it up!"
"Besides, we've achieved such great honor for the town, and he even gave us a big meal before we even came in."
Xiao Yuehua was confused and said, "Oh, it must be too expensive. The mayor didn't bring enough money."
"How could I not have brought enough money? Doesn't that mean everything I said before is just empty talk?"
"Please don't destroy the good image of our mayor in everyone's mind."
.......
The corners of Xiao Lian'an's mouth twitched. Did these two people who sang Shuanghuang really think he was deaf?
He didn't say anything, but just explained all the rules and regulations to him clearly.
The prices in this state-owned restaurant are really not cheap at all. He comes to the county for so many meetings every year, but he has never been willing to order food in the state-owned restaurant. Even if he is extremely hungry, he will just come in and have a bowl of noodles for 1.6 cents.
Xiao Li'an counted the money and tickets in his pocket, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"Waiter, please bring me one of all the dishes we have today."
As soon as Xiao Lian finished speaking, Xiao Yuehua was the first to scream.
"Mayor, you really keep your word and are so generous!"
"We are all enjoying some luxury with you today."
"Jianjun, you must work hard during this period to repay the mayor for his kindness to us."
Wang Dachui quickly took over the conversation, "That's right, my uncle is a very kind person. All of us relatives like him, especially my grandmother. Every time she sees my uncle coming back, she smiles until her eyes are narrowed."
"You keep calling me Li'an, and even my grandson has to stand aside."
"Oh, it would be nice if my grandma came too. She has no teeth and loves big meat buns the most."
Xiao Lian'an's eyelids twitched. "What's the big deal? I'm thinking about her too."
"Well, when you leave later, bring two for her."
Su Qingci looked at Xiao Lian with admiration, "Mayor, we've been working together for over a month, and only now do I realize how approachable and open-minded you are in private!"
"It's a blessing for our team to have such a good leader like you, don't you think?"
"Yes, Captain Su said exactly what I wanted to say!"
Xiao Lian was flattered and took out the money from his pocket and counted it for the waiter.
"No, no, we are all revolutionary comrades. We still have a long way to go. We should live in harmony and make progress together."
Su Qingci glanced at the money in Xiao Lian'an's hand. Wow, he had quite a lot.
"Mayor, my admiration and respect for you are as unstoppable as the Yellow River. No, no words can express my feelings for you. I must raise a toast to you at this moment."
“Hey, hey, hey, no…”
Seeing Xiao Lian'an was shocked, Su Qingci immediately reached out to stop him from speaking.
"Don't say anything. I have to toast you a few glasses today. Otherwise, I can't express my sincere feelings towards you."
"Waiter, open the bottle of wine."
Song Jingzhou smiled and shouted, "Hurry and bring it here! This is the mayor of Taohua Town. How could he possibly owe you money? I want the bottle of Moutai on top!"
The waiter knew from listening to them that they were not ordinary workers, so he did not dare to be arrogant. He immediately stood on a low stool next to them, took down the bottle of Moutai on top, and carefully placed it on the counter.
"Serving the people, hello comrade, Maotai costs eight yuan, and I need five wine tickets."
Xiao Lian'an's face turned green when he heard the price of 8 yuan. He was the mayor of a remote town and his monthly salary was only more than 37 yuan. A meal of 4 yuan already made him nervous, and now he wanted a bottle of Moutai.
Even high-ranking officials can't afford to drink this Moutai. What kind of family does he have?
"Comrade Xiao Su, I appreciate your sincerity, but let's forget about the wine."
"no!"
"My love for you is sincere and precious, and it must not be false at all."
Xiao Lian looked at the waiter standing next to him waiting for him to pay for his ticket, and forced a stiff smile.
"I don't even have a drink ticket with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jingzhou slammed the five wine tickets on the table.
"Mayor, I have it. I'll lend it to you first. Just return it to me when you get back!"
Xiao Lian looked at Song Jingzhou's expression, which said, "I lent it to you because I trust you," and his head was buzzing.
Before he could find an excuse to refuse, there was a click next to him and the wine lid opened.
"Hey hey hey ah~"
Xiao Lian jumped up with a start and slapped Wang Guoqing on the head.
"You little bastard, why did you open it?"
"I'll make you quick and greedy!"
