Looking at the round car taillights gradually disappearing, Cai Gen felt that he suddenly grew taller.
There are many important people and things that require you to be taller.
Otherwise, he will be in pain.
Back at the store, everyone had already set up the pots.
The water has started to boil, and everyone is waiting for Cai Gen with chopsticks in their hands.
The essence of mutton-shabu-shabu is vividly reflected this time. There is really only mutton and not a single green leafy vegetable.
Just now at my mother's house, I didn't have a chance to eat mutton slices, so these hypocritical guys all said they were full.
Now, their true colors are revealed, as if the meal just now was just a joke, not even an exercise.
When Cai Gen saw that his seat was empty, there was also a glass of white wine and his own wolfberry powder, which looked very friendly.
It was probably Duan Xiaohong who poured it because she also had a glass in front of her.
Cai Gen sat down without moving his chopsticks. He first raised his glass and prepared to say something.
After all, everyone worked hard this time to go to the pit, and it was a small regret that we didn’t get the one million bonus.
But his efforts were rewarded, with Master Long's gratitude and Shi Huozhu's foreign labor.
Now that I have money, I must say something strong and look forward to the future. Even if it doesn't work, I should say something honest.
However, after Cai Gen raised his glass, while he was preparing his rhetoric, everyone was already in action.
Those who wanted to get rid of the meat got rid of the meat, and no one waited for Cai Gen to speak.
It turns out that the standard for everyone to use chopsticks is not that Cai Gen says to start, but that if Cai Gen sits down, it does not count as not waiting for him.
Holding the cup and carrying the draft, Cai Gen felt a little embarrassed for no reason. Are these people familiar with him?
"No, you are too ungrateful?"
Duan Xiaohong ate a little slowly. After all, her appetite was about the same as that of Xiao Sun. She was already full just now.
"Caibangzi, what do you mean by this? No one has used their chopsticks after waiting for you for a long time, why do you want to be so particular about it?"
Cai Gen raised his wine glass and gestured at Duan Xiaohong.
"Shouldn't we speak first, then toast, and finally eat?"
Duan Xiaohong clinked the glass with Cai Gen and took a big sip. She looked a little confused and thought Cai Gen was toasting him.
Helplessly accompanying him, Cai Gen also took a sip.
Shi Huozhu actually doesn't eat much, but he has been livening up the atmosphere just now and didn't eat much. Now he is feeling particularly relaxed after eating.
"Brother Cai, let's not go through that process, that one is the strictest from above.
You still have to qualify, you have to sign up, you have to sing praises, and you have to drink a glass of wine. It’s so hard, and you can’t even get a bite of the food.
It is said that some people fainted from hunger while being toasted."
Seeing that Shi Huozhu was serious and not lying, it was difficult for Cai Gen to understand.
"No, as for? Waiting for so long?"
With her mouth full of mutton, Zhen Shuiyin finally put aside all her reserve. She was really hungry and hadn't eaten anything all day.
"Why don't you open the history book and start from the beginning? On the first hundred pages, everyone with the same name proposes a toast. More than ten days have passed. It's okay to starve and faint, and even to death from starvation."
Xiao Tianmao, who was finally on the table, was busy working on his mouth and helping to explain.
"Well, you're right. There are too many names, and there are more celebrities. The status and status are there. Who dares to use chopsticks until someone finishes their toast?
This is the same as changing the table when the leader picks up the food. At best, there is no development, but at worst, it is wearing small shoes. If you encounter a boss with a bad temper, you will overturn the table."
Cai Gen felt that although what they said was reasonable, the toasting process had been prepared and it would be a pity not to proceed.
Suddenly, the table shook and the hot pot soup spilled out.
Everyone put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked at Cai Gen, with surprise on their faces.
Could it be that Cai Gen is so petty that he has a bad temper and wants to overturn the table right after he finished speaking?
Isn't it because you raised your glass and spoke but didn't give me a chance?
As for that? Too narrow-minded?
Xiao Sun quickly reconciled the situation,
"We are not in a hurry to eat. If uncle San has anything to say, just say it."
Cai Gen saw everyone's looks and felt aggrieved because he didn't move the table.
I immediately looked up at the headlights, and sure enough, the headlights were also shaking.
"It wasn't me, it was an earthquake, no, it was a mine earthquake, right?
Don’t you feel it?”
Everyone looked at the headlights and were relieved. It turned out that they had misunderstood Cai Gen.
I was too engrossed in eating just now, so I didn't feel very sensitive, so I just stared at the pot.
"Third uncle, what is a mine earthquake?"
Cai Gen has lived in a mining area since he was a child and is very familiar with mining earthquakes.
“A mine quake is similar to an earthquake, in that it involves firing cannons in the shafts of the mine.
It's very close to the city, so it feels obvious.
When I was a kid, mine earthquakes shook the windows."
Shi Huozhu put down his chopsticks and asked Cai Gen in confusion.
"Brother Cai, our small city used to be a mining area, I know.
Aren’t all eight mines yellow now?
If there is no production, what can we do?
Is there something fishy?"
Turns out it’s all yellow?
Cai Gen's news has started to lag, I thought there were only seven missing.
Shi Huozhu must have obtained official materials, which were relatively accurate, so he probably didn't even keep them from the last mine.
Cai Gen put down his wine glass and looked at Shi Huozhu.
"How about I take a trip and ask under the pit? Why are the mines all yellow and why are there still firecrackers?"
This was an irony. Shi Huozhu heard it immediately and waved his hand quickly.
"It's cold, why bother Brother Cai? No, you can't go."
Xiao Tian Mao also put down his chopsticks and stared at Shi Huozhu.
"Of course Master can't go. Have you finished eating? Otherwise, why don't you go and ask?"
This is embarrassing, why are you so mean-mouthed?
It also made Xiao Tmall catch the topic.
Shi Huozhu quickly grabbed the chopsticks, bit the head of the chopsticks with his mouth, and pretended to be dumbfounded and told Cai Gen.
"Brother Cai, let's fire off firecrackers if you like, why are you meddling in other people's business?
Eating is the most important thing, no, your toast is the most important thing, tell me quickly, I can't wait."
Cai Gen did not hold on to the stone fire beads, and expressed his dissatisfaction that he did not say the toast words. It would be enough if he clicked it, but it would be bad if it was passed.
Everyone understood Cai Gen's wishes, finally corrected their attitude, and waited seriously for Cai Gen's toast.
Although Cai Gen was a little embarrassed to get this opportunity by playing a little willful, he couldn't miss it, and he had all his words ready.
Raising the glass again, as if nothing happened just now, Cai Gen started over.
"This is a glass of wine for everyone. It's mainly to express my gratitude. Everyone has worked hard today.
The results were very gratifying. We felt relieved and finally got rid of the barren hat.
From now on, I promise to improve everyone’s food standards.
Also, in the days to come, everyone must remain vigilant to prevent enemy counterattacks.
We will defend our hard-won victory to the death and make life better.
I've done it, you guys, I'm going to go, why isn't it over yet?"
Another mine earthquake ruined Cai Gen's perfect conclusion, which made Cai Gen very angry.
