Since they met by chance, the three of them found a relatively quiet place and sat down.
The content of the chat did not involve work, it was just casual chat.
Sun Xiaowei talked about all kinds of interesting things she encountered after coming to Dali. Her friends were very happy with her, but Zhang Wentao listened a little absent-mindedly. He looked at the beer in his hand from beginning to end. Except for the occasional perfunctory smile, he was basically talking the whole time.
listen.
After singing the last song of the day, Hu Youyu waved to everyone on the stage. Only a few people made noises, and then he came over with a dozen beers.
After finishing his work, he seemed to be in a good mood. When they met, he started to flirt with Sun Xiaowei:
"Hey, Miss Sun, why are you here today? Are you here to see our Wen Tao again?"
Sun Xiaowei smiled, introduced Hu Youyu to her friend, and said, "I just happened to come here today. I really didn't expect to meet you. If I had known you were performing here, I would have come to support you."
Hu Youyu smiled and sat next to Zhang Wentao, picked up a bottle of beer, clinked the glasses with Sun Xiaowei, and took a sip.
In fact, Hu Youyu has grown a lot since he entered the society. He knew that what Sun Xiaowei said was just to save face and should not be taken seriously.
Seeing Hu Youyu drinking, Zhang Wentao frowned slightly.
Alas, I have to take a taxi back tonight, so I can't get a scooter.
And looking at the way Lao Hu brought a dozen drinks, he was obviously trying to make a fool of himself. Even if the price of a dozen drinks was the internal price, it would cost dozens of dollars, so why waste it.
But there is wine to drink...
Zhang Wentao, who had just finished a bottle of beer and was silent, looked at the glass of beer that Hu Youyu handed him and took it fascinatedly. The Corona with a squeeze of lemon had a special sweetness.
This is actually because the bottle is transparent. During the transportation and storage process, the transparent glass bottle will absorb light, causing certain changes in the beer in the bottle, and the taste will become missing.
But this shortcoming, paired with lemon, has become its unique selling point.
After taking another sip and putting down the bottle, Zhang Wentao noticed that Sun Xiaowei's friend was looking at him with a frown.
Seeing Zhang Wentao's surprised expression, the other party smiled slightly, reached for Zhang Wentao's wine bottle, and said in a concerned tone: "Mr. Zhang, you are a chef, it would be better to drink less wine, after all, alcohol
It’s not friendly to the brain or taste.”
"Have you seen my news?" Zhang Wentao suddenly had a hunch that the other party knew him well.
I had a car accident in France, my parents died as a result, and I became addicted to alcoholism. It is not a secret that I lost my star. If I pay a little attention and can read French or English, I will check the news information carefully.
I can still get a rough idea.
It's just that no one pays attention to a "cook" like him in the current Internet environment.
So when I look up his information domestically, I can basically find nothing.
Sun Xiaowei also said just now that she only knew about herself through this friend. This person was in the catering industry, so it was normal for him to know her past.
"Thank you for the reminder." After Zhang Wentao figured it out, he smiled at the other party.
The other party smiled and said to Zhang Wentao in a very calm tone: "Actually, it was not intentional. It was just because of work needs. I did some understanding when you lost your star. I also feel very sorry for your experience and hope that you will soon
cheer up."
"Actually, I told Xiaowei that it's best not to disturb your vacation, but obviously she didn't listen to me."
"It's all over." Zhang Wentao sighed and nodded: "By the way, I haven't asked for your surname yet."
"Shi Tiandong, I run a restaurant by myself, and I cook Su cuisine. I met Sun Xiaowei in SH before, but I am in Suzhou. In fact, I am also very interested in fusion cuisine. If we have the opportunity, we can communicate
." Shi Tiandong smiled.
Zhang Wentao smiled and said: "Okay, let's leave our contact information. We will communicate again when we have the opportunity. I won't interrupt you today, I have something to do with my friends."
After saying that, the two of them took out their mobile phones and added each other on WeChat.
Zhang Wentao gave Hu Youyu a look and said goodbye to Sun Xiaowei and Shi Tiandong.
…
When Zhang Wentao left the bar and had been watching the exchange between the two, Sun Xiaowei, who was a little confused, asked Shi Tiandong: "Old Shi, are you hiding something from me? Why is Zhang Wentao's attitude towards you completely different from that of me?"
?”
"It's for your own good that I won't tell you. Don't you understand your temper?" Shi Tiandong shook his red wine glass, took a sip and said, "Actually, this matter involves privacy, and I was struggling with it for a long time just now.
"
Sun Xiaowei endured her temper and asked again: "Then tell me, I promise you will never expose it."
"Hey, this matter..." Shi Tiandong shook his head helplessly. He knew that if he didn't speak out, his good friend Sun Xiaowei's probing character would definitely lead to endless trouble.
So he explained: "Zhang Wentao was in a car accident two years ago. He was not seriously injured. However, according to media reports at the time, his parents died on the spot in the car accident."
"This incident had a great impact on him. Later, he lost his star in the Michelin selection of the same year. At that time, there were some news reports about his alcoholism. No one in China pays attention to these things, and I accidentally looked up the information.
I didn’t see it until that time.”
"Ah, there is such a thing?!"
…
After leaving the bar, it was already dark. The street lights on both sides of the stone road in the ancient town were already on, and the LED lights of various stores were also flashing. Amidst the crowds and noisy shouts, Hu Youyu and Zhang Wentao were looking for
A stone grill restaurant.
Looking at the slate in front of him, Zhang Wentao was not even in the mood to move his chopsticks.
I am going to let Lao Hu be in charge of the barbecue and he will be in charge of eating. Whoever lets the other party must insist on coming here.
Although Hu Youyu showed some lack of emotional intelligence in front of women, especially in front of the three golden flowers in the yard, he was not a fool.
So this time for dinner, he only wanted two bottles of drinks, not any wine at all.
I ordered it at the bar before and deposited it directly.
Seeing that the other party wanted to ask something but was holding back and didn't dare to say it, Zhang Wentao said directly:
"If you want to ask, just ask."
"Can I really ask?"
Zhang Wentao nodded, and after a moment Hu Youyu asked: "Wen Tao, we can be considered friends. I'm just curious, what do you do? Also, why can't you drink."
"I used to be a chef, but I got along better. I can't drink because I once had an alcoholic experience." Zhang Wentao replied.
"Then how come a person whose name you don't even know knows that you can't drink? Are you famous?"
"It doesn't count." Zhang Wentao paused and then said: "I used to work in a French restaurant. My master is quite famous and is known as the 'best chef'. As for me, I am actually not very successful."
With that said, Zhang Wentao took out his mobile phone and showed the other party his previous working environment and some other photos.
