Chapter 139 Zhao Xianghua's Treat
Zhang Qinghe was startled and thought of Liu Qiaoqiao's matter.
I was just a step slow before, but I was lucky and after being slow, I was able to escape from the suffering.
But this time he didn't want to slow down any more, so he nodded, left a word and ran out immediately.
"You're right. I'll go and find out."
Zhang Ze: “.”
Zhang Qian: “.”
Zhang Qing opened her mouth slightly, looking bewildered: "Where can he go to ask? Can't he just ask us? If he can't find out, wouldn't he know everything if he tries to please Sister Yan Rong?"
Zhang Ze sighed: "Alas, if no one helps this silly goose, I feel that he will miss all the women he likes."
"By the way, brother, you went to see mom yesterday, right? When will mom be back?"
"The two old people will see that the situation will soon be fine. You will have to go back and see them off. After that, stepmother will come back."
"Brother, can I not go? I hate them." Zhang Qing asked with a pleading look on her face.
Zhang Ze didn't expect his little sister to say that. He wanted to agree, but in the end he shook his head and said, "I will come back to pick you up on the day of the funeral. Come and see you off then! Just like mom said, it's for dad!"
Zhang Qing pouted and said nothing. Unlike Zhang Wu, she had some memory of her dead father.
When she was a child, she was often held and spoiled by her father, so like Zhang Ze, she couldn't object to her father giving her grandparents a ride.
Because of this topic, there was silence in the house for a while.
Zhang Ze was about to change the subject, but then he thought of the man he met at night school: "A Qian, have you met someone you like recently?"
"Brother, what are you talking about all of a sudden!" Zhang Qian stamped her feet and said angrily, her face turning red due to the rising heat, "I said I want to study first."
"Wasn't there a man pestering you before, so I'm asking!" Seeing that his sister was a little angry, Zhang Ze also looked a little embarrassed.
"If I ignore you, it's not easy for others to keep pestering me. They will be considered as hooligan." Zhang Qing spread her hands and explained.
Zhang Ze nodded in understanding and looked at Zhang Qian: "Have you decided which university you want to go to in the future?"
"I don't know either, but I want to learn how to make clothes. If you open a clothing store for us in the future, I can make clothes myself. Otherwise, I will stop studying and go to a tailor shop to learn how to make clothes." Zhang Qian said after thinking for a while.
Zhang Ze had actually mentioned the idea of opening a clothing store to them, and she kept it in mind.
But at that time, there were no fashion design majors in domestic universities. The earliest short-term training course was offered by the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1982. If you wanted to study, you had to go abroad.
Zhang Qian didn’t know much about fashion design. She thought that if she wanted to do this, she would have to go to a tailor shop, so there was no need to continue studying.
"Learn to make clothes!" Zhang Ze pondered for a moment and thought it was a good idea. "Of course you can, but you should continue to study hard. I'll ask for other things for you first."
"Yeah!" Zhang Qian nodded obediently.
The eldest sister’s future affairs have been arranged, so the younger sister who is almost seventeen years old can also start making arrangements.
It is not easy to study at night school and take the college entrance examination. Zhang Ze does not want his sister to continue to take the college entrance examination when she is very old.
The social environment in later generations is not friendly to those who are unmarried at an older age, let alone this era.
"Ah Qing, what do you think of your future?"
Zhang Qing was also stunned when she was asked this question, and then she looked a little uncertain and said, "How about I follow my sister to learn how to make clothes?"
“Do you like this industry?”
"I like beautiful clothes."
“.”
This left Zhang Ze speechless. Since both of his sisters thought the same way, he would see if there was any chance to arrange for them to become apprentices.
"You can learn tailoring, but you have to study hard. I heard that there are professional courses in clothing abroad, and maybe there will be some in China in a few years. If you can get into university, you can go there to study."
The two sisters nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, looking well-behaved and obedient.
The afternoon passed quickly, and when everyone arrived they set off for Weiyou Restaurant.
When they walked into the restaurant, except for Zhang Ze, everyone else acted a little restrained, even Zhang Qinghe and others who had been there once.
Zhang Qing and Zhang Wu hid in the crowd and looked around the restaurant which seemed magnificent to them. The two noisy people were very quiet today.
There were fourteen people in total, including Tong Yuanhang and his two brothers, Zhang Zhenghong's three cousins, Zhang Qinghe's two brothers, Zhang Ze's family, and Ou Shuxiang who was alone.
The table in the box can seat fifteen people, which is enough.
The dishes had already been decided when they came to reserve the private room at noon. Zhang Ze was generous enough this time and directly ordered a set meal worth two hundred and twenty yuan, not including drinks.
After sitting down, Zhang Ze asked the waiter for five bottles of Moutai and some drinks.
Although the men present were not particularly old, they could all drink alcohol and they drank liquor on a regular basis. On the contrary, Zhang Ze himself rarely smoked or drank alcohol after his rebirth.
The hot dishes had not been served yet, only some cold dishes were placed, and Zhang Qing couldn't wait to pour the wine.
"Aze took us fishing, and today he brought us to the restaurant for dinner. Should we toast him with this wine? Come on, Aze, I'll toast you."
Zhang Ze looked at the glass filled with white wine and said with a smile: "Since I'm so nice to you, shouldn't you drink a little first to show your appreciation?"
Tong Yuanhang next to him immediately started to make fun of him: "Aze is right, Qinghe, you have to drink first to show your respect, otherwise it won't be justified."
Everyone knew each other well and knew how Zhang Ze treated Zhang Qinghe, so they all joined in the fun.
Zhang Qinghe was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to join everyone to get Zhang Ze drunk, but in the end he had to drink a glass first.
But it was difficult to back down, and the young man wanted to save face, so he raised his glass and said, "Okay, I'll drink this first, and you guys have to do it one by one later."
As he said this, he drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp. After drinking the glass, the hot and stimulating feeling went directly from his throat to his stomach.
Zhang Qinghe made a "夢" sound in his mouth, and quickly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a few slices of braised beef and eat them to suppress his appetite.
After taking a breath, he poured another glass of white wine. Just as he raised it, Zhang Ze said, "Don't worry about toasting me this one. Don't you like Wuwei and a salesperson next door? If you want to know about her family's situation in the future, you have to ask me, right?"
"In that case, you have to have another drink to show your appreciation, otherwise I won't let my wife and sisters help you."
Zhang Qinghe was suddenly numb. He didn't expect Zhang Ze would use this matter to control him.
The man also had a gossipy heart, and everyone present was very interested when they heard that he had taken a fancy to Wuwei and a salesperson.
With the help of a group of people, Zhang Qinghe drank the second cup with a bitter face.
After eating something to calm down the drunkenness, he felt that he had to slow down, otherwise he would definitely get drunk if he drank on an empty stomach, so he prepared to toast again later.
At the same time, he was a little afraid of Zhang Ze, fearing that he would find some reason that he couldn't refuse to make him drink.
But before he even sat down, Zhang Ze took the initiative to stand up and raise his glass: "Aren't you going to toast? Hurry up!"
"." Zhang Qinghe surrendered immediately, "Aze, I will call you brother from now on, okay? Let me take it easy first, and we will drink later."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Then call me brother first." Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Brother!" Zhang Qinghe bit his back teeth. At this moment he really wanted to toast him with a glass of wine, but the burning feeling in his stomach told him that he had to slow down, and finally he had to give in.
"Hey!" Zhang Ze nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at Tong Shuyao who was sitting next to him, "Call me sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law!" My brother has already called her that, so there is no need for her to be called sister-in-law. This time, Zhang Qinghe called her very straightforwardly.
Tong Shuyao looked a little embarrassed, nodded, then reached out and patted Zhang Ze: "Okay, stop teasing Qing He."
Zhang Ze then sat down with a smile, and the other people who originally wanted to get him drunk also gave up their ideas.
We drank some wine and ate some cold dishes, and after a while the hot dishes were served one by one.
There are bird's nests, shark's fins, sea cucumbers, abalone and isinglass, not to mention all kinds of meat. Although he has to buy all these things except bird's nests, the others can be easily obtained, but the ingredients are useless without the skills of a chef, and the money really has to be made by others.
Zhang Ze was not very drunk after drinking half a bottle of white wine. He could drink white wine, but his alcohol tolerance was just so-so, only about one kilogram at most.
But that was in my previous life. Things have been different since I drank the spiritual spring.
At my last wedding banquet, he got a bunch of people drunk. We tried to get him drunk but couldn't, so we ended up acting crazy and wouldn't let him leave. He had to pretend to be drunk to get away with it.
In my previous life, I would have felt dizzy after drinking half a pound.
After the meal, a group of people went out dizzy, and only Zhang Ze was still standing steadily.
When he went out to pay, he unexpectedly met Zhao Xianghua who walked in. He was a little surprised to see Zhang Ze and others.
"Hey, Aze, you guys are having dinner at my place tonight? Why didn't you tell me? I would have given you a free meal."
Zhang Ze made a little joke: "I came here secretly just because I was afraid that you would be too polite to give me a free meal."
Just listen to the free bill. If he gets more than 200 yuan for free and then catches a high-priced king fish next time, won't we have to sell it to him at a lower price? By then, he might lose more.
Zhao Xianghua smiled and did not continue talking about this topic. He had already seen Ou Shuxiang who was drunk beside him, and he already knew where the grouper that his restaurant bought from him came from.
He pulled Zhang Ze aside and said, "Aze, are you free tomorrow at noon? I'll treat you to a meal."
"Why did Boss Zhao suddenly invite me to dinner?"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised, and at the same time, he was secretly thinking about the purpose of Zhao Xianghua's sudden invitation.
"Calling me Boss Zhao is too distant. I'm only a few years older than you. If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Hua!"
"I have no other intention in inviting you to dinner. Because of the marketing of your two fish, my store's current business is much better. I think you are a very thoughtful person, so I want to talk to you. Of course, if you have any big fish you are willing to sell directly to me in the future, that would be even better. Don't worry about the price. You won't lose money."
Zhang Ze understood, it turned out that they were looking for him because of promotion matters.
After thinking about it, he did not refuse. Zhao Xianghua was his big money sponsor, willing to spend money and have the guts to do things. At present, if you want to sell King Fish at a high price, you have to look to him. Other restaurants feel a little bit inferior.
Maybe Zhao Xianghua is just a customer who buys fish to him now, but others have become the owner of a big restaurant at a young age, so they must have very strong connections behind them.
In China, it’s all about connections. Even if you don’t need them right now, it’s a good idea to make good friends with them.
After leaving the restaurant, the group sent the drunk person back first and then went their separate ways.
Zhang Ze and his family were walking on the road. Zhang Wu was very excited and kept talking beside him.
"Brother, so this is what a restaurant looks like. It looks so luxurious inside, just like the palace described in the books."
"Also, the food there is delicious, better than what mom cooks."
"Brother, when are we going to go next time? I still want to eat."
"I'll take you there again if I have the chance." Zhang Ze touched his head and said with a smile.
With the rate at which he was making money now, he didn't have to worry about the little money he spent at the restaurant.
Besides, it is impossible for him to go there often, but he still feels it is necessary to take his family out for dinner occasionally.
"Brother, is it very expensive to eat in that restaurant?" Zhang Qian asked, rarely being an audience member.
"It's okay. I can eat there many times every time I go out to sea." Zhang Ze did not give a direct answer, but gave a vague concept.
He knew that Zhang Qian was worried that the price was too high, so he tried to change the concept.
When they heard that Zhang Ze could go to the restaurant to eat many times during each trip to the sea, they suddenly no longer felt that eating in the restaurant was expensive. Instead, they found it unbelievable that eating in such a luxurious place was so cheap?
