Liang Liang frowned as he looked at the dishes the girls had ordered.
"What did you all order? Stewed tofu, stir-fried tofu skin, cucumber salad, stir-fried shredded potatoes... If you're just going to order this, why don't we just go to a snack bar? What are you doing here? Order everything! Nothing under seven yuan is acceptable. Order everything over seven yuan, no limit."
This is to save him money. All the dim sum dishes cost no more than two yuan. What's going on?
The dishes the four of them ordered the second time were passable, but after they finished ordering, Liang Liang quickly ordered four more main dishes.
There wasn't enough food for seven people; it wasn't enough.
Zhao Xiaoqiao and Zhang Ling wouldn't arrive for a while, so Liang Liang took out the documents he had brought back from the south.
There are a total of eight videotapes and four introductory books on musical instruments.
These four books are instructional materials for guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums, respectively.
There are two sets of these materials; the other set is naturally prepared for the Red Cliff Band.
The girls in the Azalea Band were overjoyed. They couldn't watch the videotapes now, but they could read the books. Each of them picked up a book about the instrument they were learning and read it with great interest.
Zhao Xiaoqiao and Zhang Ling arrived at 11:20.
Once everyone is present, the food will be served and the meal will begin.
"Sister Zhang Yu! Sisters of the Azalea Band, I must toast you all to thank you for your support last night."
“It’s what we should do!” Zhang Yu replied with a smile.
"Anyway, let's have a drink!"
The girls were drinking beverages, so they all raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then drank them down in one gulp.
No one at the table was drinking alcohol, so Liang Liang naturally drank a beverage.
While drinking beverages, I talked about the band to encourage the girls in the Azalea Band.
"I'll say it again: don't rush to perform on stage. Focus on mastering your skills first. If, after six months, you feel your work is meaningless and you're ready to go out and explore, I'll introduce you to opportunities to go to other places and broaden your horizons."
"Xiao Liang is right. After this incident, I also feel that our skills are really not mature enough. From now on, we will practice our skills hard every day and strive to reach the level of performing on stage as soon as possible."
"Brother! Can't we stay today? Stay another day at my place, and we'll go see a movie tonight." Zhao Xiaoqiao made a very interesting suggestion.
Liang Liang thought it would be a waste if this kid didn't become a pimp when he grew up.
"I'll go back after I finish eating. I'll go back on the truck your father brought me the timber, and I can save on the ticket price."
This morning, Zhao Fang went to arrange for the delivery of timber and steel bars to Liang Liang: a truckload of good timber, a long trailer of firewood, and five tons of old steel bars.
Aside from firewood, timber and steel beams are not used to build a single-story house.
Hearing that Liang Liang would go back after finishing his meal, Zhao Xiaoqiao felt a little depressed.
If his godbrother doesn't leave, he plans to buy four movie tickets to take Zhang Yu and Zhang Ling to the movies that night.
He wanted to create an opportunity for Liang Liang and Zhang Yu to get closer, and of course, also to create an opportunity for himself and Zhang Ling to hold hands.
Unfortunately, this opportunity was squandered.
As the meal was coming to an end, Liang Liang received a page from Zhao Fang, who said that everything was loaded onto the car and they were about to head to Yahe. He asked Liang Liang where he was.
Liang Liang then told Zhao Fang where he was.
"Youth Palace! You can wait there. The convoy will be there in about ten minutes, and I'll be right there too."
Liang Liang then asked Zhao Fang if he had eaten. If not, he planned to prepare a meal for Zhao Fang here.
Zhao Fang said he hung up the phone right after he finished eating.
Liang Liang took the opportunity of going to the restroom to finish calculating the accounts.
When he returned to the table, the girls had already finished eating.
Less than five minutes after Liang Liang said goodbye to the girls from the Azalea Band, Zhao Fang's trucks arrived, followed by two Jiefang 141 trucks and one Dongfang semi-trailer.
"Everything is ready and in the car, but you'll have to pay for the ride yourself, it's 100 yuan per car."
"Only one hundred yuan for a car?"
Even if the currency was more durable in 1994, there's no reason why such a large vehicle could cost 100 yuan for such a long distance.
"It's just for collecting gas money, alright! Kid, is there anything else?"
"Godfather! Send someone to check if that Minus Forty Degrees band has left yet. They have to get out of here!"
"Kid! They were going to cripple your hands, and you're just going to let them go like that? If it were me, I'd break one of their legs."
Those who live in the underworld are ruthless.
"Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. If I go to Songyang to perform someday, how do I know I won't run into them? It's said that enemies will meet, and helping others makes things easier for yourself."
"That's not necessarily true! If you let them go, they might not let you go later. There are plenty of ungrateful people in this world."
"If you really encounter someone like that, then there's nothing to say. But I always believe that there are more good people than bad in this world. If everyone tries to understand the world with that kind of dark mentality, then you'll just have to stay at home and never go out. Godfather! You need to learn to be flexible in the future and not roll up your sleeves so easily. Alright! Godfather is leaving!"
Liang Liang jumped onto the truck loaded with firewood.
The driver was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard, and his smile was somewhat honest.
After Liang Liang and Zhao Fang waved goodbye, the truck started and left.
"What is your surname, Master?"
"No need for formalities, my surname is Yu!"
"Master Yu, are you thirty?"
"Still thirty! In five more years I'll be forty."
As soon as Liang Liang got on the truck, he started chatting with the driver about this and that. When the truck was about to leave Landi City, Liang Liang shouted to stop.
"Master Yu! Pull over for a second, I need to go buy something!"
After Mr. Yu pulled over, Liang Liang ran out of the truck cab and into a wholesale store on the side of the road.
Liang Liang bought three packs of Da Zhong Jiu cigarettes, each costing 3.2 yuan, and gave one to each driver.
You can't hire a car from Landi to his house for less than 160 or 170 yuan; even a tractor would cost 100 yuan.
The driver, who was bribed with three packs of cigarettes for a little over a hundred yuan, was all smiles.
It's 210 li from Landi City to Yahe City, and it only takes a truck an hour and a half to reach Yahe.
When Liang Liang arrived at Yahe, he paged Qin Wenju to tell her that he had returned to Yahe and could stay at home for about a month. Then he boarded the car again and drove for another twenty minutes to return to Liangshuiwan.
A makeshift shack had been erected in the yard, and a group of bricklayers were tearing down the house, which had just had its roof removed.
The two trucks stopped on the street first, and Liang Liang asked the bricklayers to help unload the trucks, giving each of them five yuan.
A dozen or so bricklayers, six or seven of them, stood on each truck and unloaded the two trucks in just over ten minutes.
After the two trucks backed out, the semi-trailer truck drove in, unloading a whole mountain of firewood.
This firewood is enough for his family to burn for five years.
It was 3:30 PM by the time all three trucks were unloaded.
Liang Liang calculated the fare and sent the three cars back.
They can still make it back to Landy City before dark.
