"Now that we have good food, of course we can't do without good wine." Li Jianshe laughed loudly, took out two bottles of old Moutai that he had collected for many years, and said, "This time I can take a step forward, thanks to you, Mr. Li.
For this first cup, I would like to thank you first."
Li Jin picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's all in the wine. Don't talk about anything else. Don't talk about Mr. Li. You and Lao Zhang are about the same age. We are both my elder brothers. Just call me brother."
"Okay, brother, let's do it!" Li Jianshe's face was glowing, and he excitedly clinked a glass with Li Jin and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Jin was also straightforward and drank the full cup directly.
…
"This is finless porpoise meat, which is only allowed to be fished for half a month of the year, and the quantity is extremely rare. It nourishes yin and nourishes the skin, and is most suitable for women to eat."
During the meal, Li Jin did not ignore Li Song Ci and took the initiative to give her a piece of finless porpoise meat and said.
Seeing this, Li Jianshe smiled and said: "This thing could have been sold for 8,000 yuan per catty two years ago. That was 8,000 yuan in 1999. Now it has a price but no market. It is something that you can't even buy with money."
Li Songci took a bite of finless porpoise meat and felt that it was tender and smooth, fat but not greasy. He said in surprise: "It is indeed delicious."
"I remember when I was a kid, we could often see finless porpoises jumping out of the water in the river. Are they so rare now?"
As soon as Li Songci said these words, Li Jin was surprised and said: "Did you grow up by the Yangtze River when you were a child?"
Li Songci rolled his eyes at Li Jin and said, "I'm a serious southerner, okay? I only went abroad in the fourth grade of elementary school, but I haven't been back for more than ten years. I don't know what's going on with my hometown."
"There used to be a lot of finless porpoises, but due to uncontrolled fishing, there are very few now. They even directly introduced a policy that only allowed fishing for half a month a year. It can be regarded as slowly recuperating, which is better than letting an animal become extinct."
." Li Jianshe said from the side.
"This finless porpoise is a relative of my hometown. It was caught in the river two days ago. It is the largest one in the past few years. Others paid tens of thousands for it but he didn't sell it, so he brought it to me."
Zhang Jiang stood up and served Li Jin a bowl of dragon-phoenix soup. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Brother, you need to drink more. This stuff is a great tonic. It is made from aged ingredients found in deep mountains and old forests. Its medicinal properties are absolutely strong."
Li Jin took the soup bowl and said angrily: "I am young and strong, so you need to take more supplements. Don't regret it when it doesn't work."
The old men ate and drank together, and the things they talked about were somewhat colorful.
Zhang Jiang and Li Jianshe were veterans of their respective schools. Li Jin was worried that Li Song Ci wouldn't adapt, but he suddenly heard her interrupt.
"Actually, these things only have a psychological effect. If they can really have practical effects, it is better to take two small blue tablets."
As soon as this was said, the whole table laughed.
The slight sense of isolation caused by the addition of Li Songci, a stranger, was subtly resolved.
A meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.
The table was full of rare delicacies, the ingredients were top-notch, and the chef's skills were also very good, so Li Jin was very satisfied with the meal.
After eating, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Jianshe and Zhang Jiang, two old guys, didn't know whether they ate the Dragon Phoenix Dou or drank it for Maotai. In short, their faces were tipsy and their cheeks were red. After leaving the farm, they laughed and said goodbye to Li Jin. Apparently they still had
Other projects.
And Li Jin has Li Songci next to him, so they obviously don't plan to take Li Jin to play with him.
Li Jin had no fun looking for these middle-aged and elderly men, so he went back to the city with Li Song Ci.
In the evening, Li Songci also drank a lot of wine, and she drank at least one and a half kilograms of Maotai by herself. If Li Jianshe had not brought enough Maotai, tonight might have been really embarrassing.
"Go down and take a walk." When the car was approaching the hotel, Li Songci suddenly said to Li Jin.
Li Jin was stunned for a moment. He felt that he was smelling of alcohol now. It would be a good idea to go down and blow in the air to sober up, so he asked Liu Jun to stop the car, and he and Li Songci got out of the car together.
It was already past ten o'clock, but the Shanghai market was not deserted at night, and many pedestrians could still be seen coming and going.
While walking along the sidewalk, Li Songci's eyes were slightly drunk. He turned to look at Li Jin and said, "Why are you so far away from me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
When Li Jin, who was walking in tandem with Li Song Ci, heard this, he walked directly up to stand side by side with Li Song Ci and said, "Is this distance close enough?"
Li Songci did not speak, but stretched out his hand to hold Li Jin's arm, resting his head half on Li Jin's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "That's all right."
As she spoke, she pointed with her other hand at the lovers on the roadside and said, "Look, they are all like this."
Li Jin frowned slightly, wanted to take his hand out, and said, "Miss Li, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Li Songci hugged Li Jin's arm tightly and said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of?"
"But you are already married." Li Jin said.
Li Songci was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to let go of Li Jin's hand, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Yes, I'm already married, I can't do this anymore. If you don't remind me, I will almost forget it."
Another woman with an unhappy marriage?
Li Jin shook his head. He was not interested in other people's couples' relationships at all, and he had no intention of getting involved.
But Li Songci seemed to have opened up the conversation, saying: "What is marriage or not? We are just a combination of interests. When we got married, he was satisfied, his parents were satisfied, and so were my parents, but no one asked me whether I was satisfied or not."
"Are you satisfied?" Li Jin asked.
Li Songci smiled, and suddenly said in high spirits: "I'm satisfied. He is handsome, rich, very capable, and has a good family background. He looks like a wealthy son-in-law. What woman wouldn't want to marry such a man?"
"That's okay." Li Jin sighed, "You're not so naive that you yearn for those love stories between princesses and poor boys, are you? All relationships are based on material things, or do you feel unwilling to do it for
Is it just a matter of finding a husband to live with for the rest of your life?"
"Not at all." Li Songci shook his head, "I'm not a junior high school girl. I don't fantasize about love or not. It's too funny."
"But..." Having said this, Li Songci suddenly stopped in front of a store window and stared blankly at the pair of red high heels on the legs of the mannequin in the window.
"I want this." Li Songci pointed at the window and said.
Li Jin glanced at the closed store, frowned and said, "It's closed. Can we buy again tomorrow when they open?"
"No! I want it now!" Li Songci was as stubborn as a willful girl begging for candy from her parents.
"I can't smash the glass and grab it." Li Jin said helplessly. As he said that, he wanted to force Li Song Ci to leave. This girl would have a lot of troubles if she drank too much.
"Commission!" Li Songci shook off Li Jin's hand, stretched out two fingers, and shouted with drunken eyes but seriously: "I will reduce the commission for the listing of New Wolf by 20%, but I want this now.
want!"
Li Jin had a headache, but when he saw a sign out of the corner of his eye, his eyelids twitched.
