1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 177 Eat with Lao Zhangtou [Additional update]

I went to Jin Ye's place first and told him in advance that I would have a meal with him at noon. The old man was very happy and said that he would make some different dishes.

Luo Tao left Jin's house and went to the furniture store in Dashilan. He didn't find anyone there, so he asked Wu Hua. He said that his master, Lao Zhangtou, hadn't been to the furniture store for many days, and now he didn't know where he was. where?

After getting this result, Luo Tao had no choice but to push the cart and go to his residence on Sanmiao Street.

When he arrived at the place, he saw that the door was not locked. Luo Tao breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the old man did not go out for a walk today.

The car was parked on the side of the door. I dusted off and stretched my clothes, climbed up the steps, opened the door, turned around, and saw Lao Zhangtou busy in the courtyard.

"Hey! What are you doing? Your skills have improved a lot." Luo Tao trotted over, caressed his newly made official hat chair and admired it.

"Hey, why do you guys have time to come to my place for a walk? Nothing will happen to you!"

Seeing that it was Luo Tao who came, Lao Zhangtou looked up, then bent down and concentrated on the woodcraft in his hand.

"Hey! You still know me well. Please stop, this plane is too loud."

Before Luo Tao said a few words, the old man seemed a little deliberate, pushing the big planer with both hands to straighten it.

"If you fart, just let it go. If it's okay, get out of here. Don't stay here and cause more trouble for me."

Hey!Isn't this womanly tone just because I haven't played with you much during the Chinese New Year?As for being so angry?

"Well, I want to treat you to a royal meal at noon. It seems that I can only enjoy it by myself. You are busy, so I will take the lead." He walked out the door with gestures.

As soon as he turned around, he was suddenly stopped by someone, "What do you mean by that, come on, let me pour you a glass of water to drink first, come to see me from afar, you can't even drink your saliva!"

"Take a sip?" Luo Tao asked him pretendingly.

"Hey! That's for sure, let's go inside."

Luo Tao thought to himself that I can't cure you, because for a foodie, nothing is more important than eating.

Lao Zhangtou is definitely a rich man in this era. His family used to be poor and he didn't have much to eat. Now that he is rich, he searches for food all over the capital.

In his words: Eat it all over the Forty-Nine Cities and never taste the same again.This is so good to say, because here, the old man is now riding a bicycle by himself. In the past year or so, he has really eaten all over Xuanwu, Chongwen, Chaoyang, and East XC districts.

What's more, there is a breakfast spot that he likes to eat, and he is chased away by a red armband, so he can know where he is going to go next, which also shows that he really likes to eat breakfast at this restaurant.

After entering the room and taking a seat, Luo Tao sat leisurely, waiting for Lao Zhangtou to serve tea.

"Dahongpao, how about you try it? If you hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have taken it out."

He said these sour words while pouring himself a glass on the other side.

"Not bad, is there any more?"

Can I, Luo Tao, be sold for a cup of tea?That's absolutely impossible, at least give me a pack.

"Unfortunately, it's gone. Let's talk about what happened at noon!"

Lao Zhang was not confused and responded quickly.

"Hehe! Look at you like this, I can still covet your old age. I will introduce you to someone at noon. Do you know Baylor Mansion in Houhai?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

Luo Tao smiled slightly, pretended to be serious and took a sip of tea before saying, "Hey, that house's surname will be Luo from now on."

"What, dear, let's just say it's more than 5000 square meters, so I just bought it."

Lao Zhangtou almost jumped up, his eyes widened and his face looked shocked.

"Ahem, it's not that exaggerated. It's more than 500 square meters for a single hospital. It's not worth mentioning." Proud, that's how proud he is.

"Humph, you're surprised for nothing, why should you come to me for dinner over this matter?"

"Yes and no. Do you know what this descendant of the Jin family is doing now?"

"What does it have to do with me? I don't have the time to pry."

Seeing his tone, Luo Tao stopped trying to beat around the bush. He said he would go to Jin Ye's place for lunch at noon, and even praised Jin Ye for his excellent palace cuisine. "Is it as delicious as Mr. Wang's cooking?"

Ever since he followed Luo Tao to Wang's home for two meals, Lao Zhangtou couldn't forget it. Unfortunately, he was not as thick-skinned as Luo Tao. He went there occasionally and sometimes missed the meal.

The two of us went to Mr. Wang's house just to talk about furniture. Once, when it was almost time for dinner, Mr. Wang wanted to stay with him for dinner. In fact, he really wanted to stay, but he insisted on leaving. Mr. Wang couldn't help seeing him like this. He just obeyed him without much persuasion. He wanted to slap himself in the mouth when he left the house.

"Each one has its own merits. You will know after you taste it. Do you want to go?"

"Go, you can change clothes later and I will follow you."

After a while, Lao Zhangtou came out of the room, wearing a navy blue Chinese tunic suit, brand-new cloth shoes, and a black hat on his head.

"Hey, you can always wear this outfit! When did you buy it?"

"My daughter bought it for me, it's pretty good!"

This shows off, it's great to have a girl, and my buddies will have one in the future.

"Come on, let's go quickly! Be careful not to miss the meal time and get hungry."

Luo Tao really couldn't see how proud he was and hurriedly urged him to leave quickly.

"Don't panic, take care of these guys first."

Luo Tao helped pack things without saying a word, and the two of them were busy.

It was quite tiring to do this kind of work, and what was even more irritating was behind me. Lao Zhangtou insisted on Luo Tao carrying him, but he didn't say anything today and rode over by himself.

I had no choice but to follow him and ask him to help take care of the house from now on. Every time Luo Tao bought a place, he would give Lao Zhangtou a key and let him take a look at it when he was fine.

"Ahem, it's finally here. I'm not telling you to be arrogant. You can eat less and lose weight now. It's too heavy."

"Envy me." After getting out of the car, he was quite concerned about his image. He straightened his clothes before saying these three words lightly.

"I envy you, you are so thick-skinned." She retorted, took her things and walked into the courtyard.

"Don't worry, wait for me."

When we arrived at Jinye's house, the old man was already busy in the kitchen.

"Master Jin, let me bring you some fruits and canned yellow peaches..."

Looking at Lao Zhangtou's eyes, they seemed to be on fire, and he secretly thought that he had made a mistake. How could he let this kid bring in the things he bought? Now he can buy them all.

"Okay, this is Mr. Zhang, the master wood artist you mentioned!"

Jin Ye is also a person who sees all directions and listens to all directions. He knows what's going on at a glance, and asks old Zhang if he has any gifts.

"Master Jin, as you have praised me, I am just a carpenter, not a master."

The two hit it off immediately, Jin Ye was wearing an apron, with oil in his hand, they just stood outside the kitchen door and chatted.

Luo Tao knowingly went to the main room silently, as casually as if he were at his own home, and sat down there waiting to eat.

Fortunately, there is meat stewing in this pot, otherwise the two of them would not be able to talk.

As soon as several dishes were served at noon, the small wine cup was like this, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Today, Luo Tao is responsible for drinking and eating, while the two old men are drinking and eating peanuts, recalling the bittersweet and occasionally talking about the mountains.

"I said you two should remember to go to Miaoyin Yuan when you have time. If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

During the dinner, Luo Tao handed over the task of repairing the house to these two people. I don't know if the alcohol played a role, but he was very happy that no one objected.

The two old men didn't finish their drinking and said they would continue drinking in the evening. Seeing this, Luo Tao had no choice but to say goodbye, which was superfluous here.

"You have a lot to do. Come on, Brother Jin, let's continue drinking."

If you can't afford to provoke it, you can't hide it!Before leaving, he copied a handful of peanuts and ran out.
