Sun Chong was frightened when he heard this, and quickly reminded: "Sir, be careful what you say!"
If you dare to criticize the imperial court on the street, if someone listens to it and reports it, it will be a crime of disrespect!
Immediately, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, and then he breathed a sigh of relief!
Huo Qingyun couldn't help but feel moved!
Lin Xu's words completely penetrated his heart!
"Brother, if you have time, can I buy you a drink?"
Lin Xu bowed his hand and extended the invitation.
Huo Qingyun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
There was a Qinhuai Restaurant nearby, so they walked in.
"Guests, what would you like to eat?"
It was not yet time to eat, so the restaurant was empty and deserted.
When the waiter saw a customer coming to the door, he immediately trotted over to serve him and was very attentive.
"Is there a private room upstairs?"
Lin Xu asked.
"Yes! Please come here, please, and I will show you the way!"
The waiter stretched out his hand to signal, with a smile on his face.
After sitting down in a private room on the second floor, the waiter asked attentively: "Guests, what would you like to eat?"
"Send some of your store's specialty dishes, and a jar of good wine!"
Lin Xu took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the waiter: "Don't let anyone disturb us, this is a tip for you!"
"Thank you, sir! Please rest assured, sir, I will keep a close eye on the door to make sure not even a fly can come in!"
The waiter held the pieces of silver in his hand and said happily.
Not long after, wine and food were served one after another, but the wine sets that were delivered turned out to be small wine glasses that cost five yuan each.
"How can you drink from a cup like this? Bring over some larger bowls!"
Lin Xu said very proudly.
Huo Qingyun couldn't help but smile. These words were what he meant!
"Okay! Wait a moment, sir, and you'll be here soon!"
The waiter trotted along and quickly brought the wine bowls to them.
Sun Chong was about to pour the wine, but Lin Xu picked up the wine jar first, filled the three bowls with wine, then picked up one of the bowls and said, "I'm Lin Xu, a native of Jiangling County, Suzhou Prefecture. Can you do it today?"
It’s fate that I met my brother in Hangzhou. I’d like to toast you!”
"good!"
Huo Qingyun picked up the tea bowl, touched it with Lin Xu, and drank it all in one gulp!
Full of pride!
Since the brewing technology of this era was relatively backward and there was almost no high-alcohol wine, Lin Xu wanted the best wine in the restaurant, and the alcohol content was only about 20 degrees.
However, his drinking capacity in his previous life was average, and he basically had to drink six bottles of beer.
And his host couldn't even eat enough on weekdays, let alone drink, and his body's alcohol tolerance was very low.
This is also the reason why when he drank with Liu Mingju some time ago, he only drank two and a half kilograms of Huadiao and became completely drunk and unconscious!
Despite this, he still drank the bowl of white wine in one go.
He has already developed a love for talents and wants to recruit Huo Qingyun under his command.
To paraphrase the classic words of Uncle Ge: What is the most important thing in troubled times? Talent!
"happy!"
Huo Qingyun praised him, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp!
In his eyes, the quality of wine is the quality of one’s character!
A person who drinks so generously has a very good character!
At the same time, he thought of what Lin Xu said on the street, and he suddenly felt good about Lin Xu!
