Yuan Siyi picked up the bottle of wine in front of him, poured himself a glass, raised the glass, turned sideways and said to Xia Daqiang who was sitting next to him: "Brother Xia, you can tell at first glance that you are a straightforward person. Come on, let me drink with you!"
Then he casually pointed his chin at Yuan Heng and Sun Aimin across from him and said, "These two guys are old, and their stomachs can't handle alcohol. I'll have to take care of them later. Brother Xia, don't mind. They can't compare to you.
"Just now I saw how generously you drank from the bottle. It takes decades to develop such a high alcohol tolerance. Eat and drink as much as you want today. It's my treat, little brother!"
When Xia Daqiang heard this, he thought to himself: Hey, this kid is quite smart.
The two men had only met for a few minutes when they started to talk like brothers and chatted enthusiastically, but the faces of the two "old guys" opposite them became even darker.
As they listened to Yuan Siyi addressing Xia Daqiang, they both unconsciously recalled Xia Daqiang's age, which they had just learned two hours ago. If they remembered correctly, Xia Daqiang was 60 years old this year, right?
Yuan Siyi didn't care what they thought. Holding a skewer of barbecue that had just been served, she continued to flirt with Xia Daqiang: "Brother Xia, your taste is amazing! If I hadn't had this opportunity to meet you, I really wouldn't have known there was such an authentic barbecue restaurant here."
It was rare to hear someone compliment him, so Xia Daqiang instantly became elated and said proudly: "Brother, let me tell you this, your brother Xia may not have any other skills, but when it comes to eating and drinking, you guys, haha, are all apprentices!"
Looking at Xia Daqiang, who was already somewhat lost, Yuan Siyi continued to speak politely, "That's right, that's right. Look at the barbecue you ordered, Brother Xia. They all taste great. When it comes to eating, you are the best!"
Yuan Siyi gave a thumbs-up while speaking, and glanced at the mother and three others sitting at other tables, saying, "Brother Xia, go see if my sister-in-law and the others have enough to eat. If not, order a few more plates. It's okay if you order too much and have leftovers. You can pack them up and take them away later so they don't waste anything. Don't make us embarrassed!"
When Xia Daqiang heard that he could take out the extra food, his eyes lit up immediately. He'd thought he'd already gotten a great deal by bringing these women along for free food and drinks, but he hadn't expected such a good deal. It seemed this family wasn't short of money, otherwise Mr. Sun wouldn't have agreed so readily to pay him 300 yuan an hour.
This is much better than working by myself. With my crappy job, let alone 300 an hour, I would be grateful if I could earn 300 after working so hard for two days.
"Brother, you are so thoughtful that you don't treat Brother Xia and your sister-in-law as outsiders. Brother Xia, I will definitely be your friend!"
As Xia Daqiang was speaking, he prepared to get up and order some more barbecue and drinks for the table of the mother and her two daughters.
The tables in this restaurant are the kind that can be used for both grilling and hot pot. In addition to traditional barbecue, diners can also go to the food area to take various raw ingredients and grill and hot pot them themselves. This part of the food is charged by weight.
This kind of table has a characteristic: the space underneath is quite tight, making it a little inconvenient to get in and out. Especially for someone like Xia Daqiang, who has a big beer belly, the posture is a little uncomfortable when getting out of the seat.
Xia Daqiang had just stood up and taken a step outside when he suddenly felt a metal scratch on his leg. He involuntarily exclaimed "Ouch" and then cursed.
Yuan Siyi quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xia?"
Xia Daqiang waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't know what scratched it. I have to talk to the person in charge about this broken chair later!"
When Xia Daqiang spoke, he did not carefully check the scratched area. He was thick-skinned and had long been accustomed to getting a few cuts just by doing nothing. However, he could consider extorting three to five hundred yuan from the store.
Yuan Siyi, however, was very worried. She glanced at Xia Daqiang's knee and said, "Brother Xia, your leg is bleeding!"
Afterwards, Yuan Siyi took two napkins without saying a word to wipe the blood on Xia Daqiang's knee, and unnoticeably pulled out a pin from under Xia Daqiang's seat, wrapped it in a tissue, and quickly passed it from under the table to Sun Aimin opposite. Sun Aimin then put the tissue and the pin into the compartment of his backpack.
Xia Daqiang didn't pay any attention to the little movements of Yuan Siyi and Sun Aimin just now. After watching Yuan Siyi use the tissue in her hand, she took out a new tissue to wipe the blood from herself, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, this little injury is nothing!"
To be honest, Xia Daqiang felt a little touched by someone's concern and care, and couldn't help but give Yuan Siyi a "good guy card".
Good man Yuan Siyi was quite proud of the mission he had just successfully completed. On the way here, the three of them were discussing how to obtain samples from Xia Daqiang for genetic testing without anyone noticing.
Several plans were originally formulated.
The first was finding the right moment to grab Xia Daqiang's hair. However, men's hair is usually shorter, making it harder to pull. Even if it were easy to pull it out, it wouldn't be easy to do. Also, men don't typically lose their hair like many women do, and they can easily find fallen hair on their clothes.
The second plan was to get Xia Daqiang's blood sample. Yuan Siyi's first thought was the skewers used in barbecue restaurants. Many barbecue restaurants now use metal skewers, which are quite sharp. With the skewers, she could pretend to accidentally scratch Xia Daqiang's skin and then clean the wound with paper.
But after arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Yuan Siyi saw the leather seats and had a new idea. It's always a good idea to have multiple plans.
