Chapter 369 Eating
As soon as he came out of the station, Zhang Lan saw Zhang Hu waiting on the steps.He smiled and said hello, and then started to walk out.

After getting in the car, Zhang Hu asked: "Where should we go to eat? What should we eat?"

"Let's go somewhere nearby and let's have a drink together. It's not appropriate in the city." Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"Then let's go to the town. My friend has opened a new barbecue restaurant on the road from the town to our village. There are no drunk driving checks there. If you drink too much, just throw the car away. It only takes ten minutes to walk to our village. ." Zhang Hu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, as you said."

Zhang Hu drove to the barbecue restaurant in Maji Town and got out of the car. Zhang Lan looked at the environment and said that he was in the town, but he was actually out of town.

A row of lonely two-story buildings were built on the roadside. Looking at the built iron fence walls and hardened road, Zhang Lan asked Zhang Hu who had just got off the car: "This was just built this year, right? It was all the same last time I came back." Did not notice."

After locking the car, Zhang Hu took the lead and walked into the yard, saying: "It was built just this year. It was originally planned to be a van dealership here, but something happened later and we didn't discuss it, so it was empty." That’s it. Now we’ve set up a temporary barbecue restaurant and let’s see how the business goes.”

Zhang Lan said speechlessly: "The difference is too big, and the place is not very good. It is a good place in the city, but in our town it is a bit remote, and there are no people around."

"Drunk driving inspections are conducted at least ten days a month at the intersection in the town, and they are conducted every once in a while. It's a little better here. This is a provincial road, and once the reputation spreads, the business of passing cars will not be clear." Zhang Hu explained with a smile.

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Hu said hello to the chef who was grilling skewers. After the diners saw Zhang Lan, several people also said hello.

Zhang Lan, who is somewhat face-blind, didn't know most people's names, but it didn't show on his face. After exchanging pleasantries with a smile, he and Zhang Hu entered the private room in the house.

It's said to be a private room, but it's actually a booth against the wall.The house was originally used as a car dealership, and the first floor was all open except for a few pillars and stairs.

The tables against the wall are separated by a one-meter-long red brick wall, with translucent plastic panels embedded on top.After finding a table and sitting down, Zhang Hu said with a smile: "I told the person to let him order a few random things first, and we will talk about the others later."

"In this environment, the investment is not small." Zhang Lan said while looking around.

Zhang Hu shook his head and said in a low voice: "It didn't cost much. The red bricks and cement didn't cost anything, and the glass plate didn't cost anything. The entire barbecue restaurant only cost a little money for a few tables in the room and labor. Everything else was free." My friend’s sister got it for him.”

"What does his sister do?" Zhang Lan asked casually.

Just when Zhang Hu was about to speak, the waiter came over with cold dishes. After the waiter put the dishes one by one and left with the tray, Zhang Hu said: "His sister is from a bank and specializes in credit. These things are not debt repayments. It’s just for giving gifts. Originally, the table didn’t cost any money. He didn’t think anything looked good, so he bought the same one. This is also the second-hand price of new flowers.”

"You have a mountain to live on, and you live on water. This is something that others can't envy. But didn't you open a dealership? Why didn't you open it? From what you said, this company is not short of money?" Zhang Lan was a little curious.

Zhang Hu explained: "There is no car dealer that is not short of money. He wanted to open it, and his sister originally supported it. However, after the house was built, there seemed to be some meeting at the bank, and his sister did not let him do it. He said he couldn't make money from this business now and asked him to wait and see. He was bored at home, so he decided to open a barbecue restaurant. "It's good to open a barbecue restaurant, but with his cost, he can't even make up for it." How much is it?" Zhang Lan said with a smile.

Zhang Hu laughed and said: "I don't know how much the compensation will be, but I definitely won't make any money. For half a month after he opened the business, the friends around him have been eating him up for half a month. I guess he doesn't even earn enough as a worker's salary every day." , don’t say anything else.”

"I heard someone talking bad about me from a distance, and it turned out to be you, Zhang Hu, who was eating and drinking from me without even saying a nice word. Sister Wang, please add some hot dishes to the table."

A burst of hearty laughter reached the ears, and a chubby body squeezed into the seat next to Zhang Hu. He held Zhang Hu's shoulders and greeted Zhang Lan with a smile: "Hello Zhang Lan, I'm Pan. Ming, the owner of this store, is Zhang Hu’s friend.”

Pan Ming sat on the chair with his body full of flesh. Judging from his figure, he must have weighed more than [-] pounds.Zhang Lan responded with the same smile: "Hello."

Pan Ming smiled and patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder: "Let me introduce you. I already know your brother."

Zhang Hu rolled his eyes and clapped back and said, "What's the introduction? If you have any questions, just tell Zhang Lan directly."

Then he said to Zhang Lan: "Zhang Lan, you have also seen that this is the owner of this store. He and I often drink together. I am one of the people I mentioned just now who drank with him for half a month after opening. .”

Zhang Lan smiled and said nothing. Pan Ming on the side said with a smile: "Zhang Lan, don't be offended. I heard about you before I met Zhang Hu. Later, after I met Zhang Hu, I wanted to get to know you even more." It's just that you haven't been at home, so I haven't had the chance to meet. I finally met someone today."

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Then let's have a few more drinks today. It's been so long since we finally met, so we have to have a few more drinks to celebrate."

Pan Ming picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a look at it and said with a smile: "Even if you don't tell Zhang Lan, I will toast you a few glasses today. I will ask Sister Wang to change the bottle of wine later. There is good wine, I just found it."

After the waiter, Sister Wang, changed the wine, Pan Ming took the wine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and began to pour wine into the wine glass on the table. He also said: "Zhang Lan, you are a doctor. You can take as much as you like today. There is no need to drink too much." , Zhang Hu, let’s meet tonight.”

Zhang Hu looked at Pan Ming pouring wine from the bottle and said with a smile: "Zhang Lan, you still have more face, this Pan Ming opened a good wine directly. Even on the first day of opening, Pan Ming didn't give it to me. What a good wine.”

"Dream Blue is already very good in our town, okay? How good are you going to let me use it?" Pan Ming said with a smile.

Picking up the wine glass, Pan Ming saluted Zhang Lan and said, "Zhang Lan, you are different from me, a rough guy. I just drink every day, and I'm not afraid of any consequences. These are not polite words, they are real. Again, Zhang Lan, you can do whatever you want."

After drinking the wine and eating the food, Zhang Lan said with a smile: "I know Zhang Hu in Kyoto. I am usually quite busy. Occasionally when I come back, I finish my work in a hurry and leave. It will be the same when I come back this time. Maybe I will do it tomorrow." It’s done, there’s nothing else to do, so I left again that night. So if you have anything to do, Pan Ming, just tell me, as I’ve just come back now and I have nothing to do.”
