Meng Fei didn't feel bad about the money, he just felt it wasn't worth it. For 128, he could buy four pounds of beef and grill it himself, which was enough for several people to eat.
But since it was Meng Long who ordered it, Meng Fei didn't say anything.
It's expensive for a reason, of course. Each table will be equipped with an individual waiter, who will take care of the whole process. They don't need to grill the food themselves. Moreover, the waiter is eloquent and knows how to handle things, comparable to Haidilao of the barbecue world.
The two chatted while eating. When it was time to pay the bill, Meng Fei wanted to get up to pay, but was stopped by Meng Long.
"Hey! Gouzi! Don't move. I'll go pay the bill. How can an older brother let his younger brother spend money?" After saying that, Meng Long walked towards the counter.
Meng Fei grinned and didn't argue with him. It didn't matter who paid, so he poured a cup of barley tea and rinsed his mouth.
Just when he finished half of his drink, he heard a commotion coming from the counter. He looked up and saw Meng Long arguing with the cashier.
Seeing this, Meng Fei hurried over.
"What's wrong, Brother Long? Why are you arguing again?"
Seeing Meng Fei coming, Meng Long calmed down a little and said with some displeasure.
"Hey! Sorry to have embarrassed you, my phone was out of battery, so I thought I'd swipe my card, but their POS machine was broken. Tell me what happened."
Hearing Meng Long's words, the cashier said in a low voice with some grievance: "Sir, we have chargers here... and your card shows a black name..."
"Shut up!! There must be something wrong with your POS machine! I used it at KFC in the city this morning! And my phone is an iPhone 16!! What if it breaks after using your cheap charger!!!"
Hearing this, the waiter stopped talking, lowered his head in grievance, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Meng Fei hurried forward to smooth things over.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll pay for the meal. Please calculate the price."
"Hello sir, the total is 1486, and after the discount it is 1265. Should I scan the code or pay by card?"
The corners of Meng Fei's mouth twitched.
A meal costs more than 1,000!
You have to know that when he was in college, his living expenses were only 1,000 yuan a month.
This consumption is really not low.
However, Meng Fei still swept the other party away.
Hearing the payment reminder sound coming from the counter, Meng Long patted Meng Fei's shoulder somewhat embarrassedly.
"Oh! Gouzi! You said that this matter caused me so much trouble. I wanted to arrange a meal for you, but I didn't expect that I would let you spend money. So! When you come back in two days, I will make good arrangements for you!"
"Haha, that's nothing, Brother Long. You finally came back, so it's only natural for me to treat you. Let's go, let's go back. I guess Second Uncle must be waiting anxiously now."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Before leaving, Meng Long grabbed a handful of mints from the counter and put them in his pocket.
Then the two of them walked towards the car.
From a distance, Meng Long saw the Raptor 300 parked on the side of the road, and couldn't help but reveal a look of envy in his eyes.
"Oh my god! This car is so impressive! It must be worth millions! I don't know which coal boss owns it. When did such a rich person appear in our county?"
Hearing Meng Long's words, Meng Fei curled the corners of his mouth, took out the car keys awkwardly, and pressed the unlock button.
“Ding ding!”
The lights flashed and the car locks unlocked.
Meng Long was like being hit by the sunflower acupoint-pressing technique. He was petrified in an instant and turned his head slowly towards Meng Fei with a look of disbelief.
At this moment, his mouth was opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could be stuffed in it, and he spoke haltingly.
"Dog...Dog...This car...This car is yours?!!!"
Meng Fei smiled and shook his head: "It's not mine, a friend left it here with me. He doesn't usually use it, so I just use it for fun."
Hearing this, Meng Long finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock on his face did not disappear.
This car worth several million dollars is lent to someone so casually. I guess Meng Fei's friend must be a wealthy man.
If you tell Meng Long at this moment that this Raptor 300 can be sold for tens of millions and that there is no demand for it, he would probably go crazy.
After getting in the car, Meng Long looked left and right with curiosity.
It's like admiring a peerless beauty.
At this time, Meng Fei remembered something and quickly took out his mobile phone and called Qiu Bo.
This time Qiubo answered the phone quite quickly, picking it up after just two rings.
"Hey, Gouzi, what's up? Do you miss your daddy?"
Meng Fei's face darkened and he cursed: "Get lost, that... Brother Long is back, do you want to go back to the village with us?"
"Brother Long? Which Brother Long?"
"Who else could it be? Brother Long from my second uncle's family."
"What!! Meng Long is back!! Oh my God, it's been so many years since we last saw each other. I can't go back today. I'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow. I'll go back to Mengjiagou the day after tomorrow." A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, then don't come back. My second uncle said he's going to kill a pig this afternoon..." Meng Fei raised his eyebrows and teased Qiubo.
When Qiubo heard that a pig was going to be slaughtered, he could no longer sit still, and his voice trembled with excitement.
"Go back!! Go back!! Tell Uncle Er to wait for me!! I'll arrange the work this afternoon, you guys go first! I'll definitely be there before dinner!! Okay! Let's not talk about it for now, I have to hurry up and get busy!"
After saying that, Qiubo hung up the phone in a hurry.
Seeing Meng Fei hang up the phone, Meng Long leaned over and grinned.
"What kind of job does Qiubo do now? It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship."
"Hehe, that guy is now working as a clerk in the county's Forestry Bureau, and he's living a comfortable life."
Meng Long nodded and said, "Well, it's OK. After all, I'm a civil servant, so I can get a stable income. Oh! By the way, how are those bad boys in our village who were with you? I've been away for many years and haven't contacted them." (Ban Le Ban: A Northeastern dialect meaning generally large.)
Hearing Meng Long's question, Meng Fei couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
The only young people of his age left are Meng Long and Qiu Bo.
The second donkey...was slaughtered by himself.
Meng Lei...also died in his own hands...
Thinking of this, Meng Fei looked up and down at Meng Long somewhat awkwardly, and then put aside the messy thoughts in his mind.
Meng Long felt a little uneasy when he saw Meng Fei looking at him strangely, but he couldn't tell why.
"Well... they are all doing well now, they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they live a stable life... ahem... Oh! By the way, Brother Long, have you found a partner over there?"
