287、Old acquaintance
After entering the elegant house, a few people came to a large coffee table with brown root carvings. Boss Dai, a short and fat man, signaled Chen Youcai to be casual.
He himself sat cross-legged on the soft cushion carelessly, and then pulled his collar, exposing his fat neck.
The mistress in cheongsam offered hot towels to the three of them one by one, Chen Youcai thanked them in a low voice and took them. Following Shen Junhu's move, he wiped his palms and handed them back to the other party.
"Su Xin, just bring some appetizers, let's talk by ourselves, you go and do your work."
Boss Dai waved his hand, the mature woman in cheongsam pursed her lips, nodded, and left Yashe silently.
"Let's get to know each other formally. The surname Dai, Mingrenzong, and Huzi are buddies who have been peeing and playing with mud since childhood."
"Most of the guys in the compound used to join the army and go to politics. Only me, a worthless guy, got into the entertainment industry. Now it's others who save face and call me the boss. In fact, I'm just a part-time worker."
When the footsteps at the door disappeared, Boss Dai clasped his fists towards Chen Youcai, and said with a bold smile, "If you're here in the imperial capital, don't be polite to me, we will all be friends from now on."
"...Chen Youcai is a part-time doctor at the Chenjia Village Health Center in Nanling City. His main job is now as a chef in a small teppanyaki restaurant."
Chen Youcai also smiled, introduced himself calmly, and Shen Junhu spit out half a sip of tea when he heard Shen Junhu snort.
"That's enough, that's enough, let's stop those vain things, Lao Dai is just like this, don't be as knowledgeable as him if you are talented."
As if afraid of Chen Youcai's overthinking, Shen Junhu wiped his mouth with his backhand, comforted him a few words, then turned his head and stared at Boss Dai who was laughing endlessly.
The sound of knocking on the door made the three of them shut up, and then a graceful waitress came in with a small plate, and put a blue porcelain bottle on the coffee table.
"Let me tell you guys, don't look at this bottle as unremarkable, it contains good things, the kind you can't buy no matter how much money you spend!"
Boss Dai winked at the two of them triumphantly, Shen Junhu frowned impatiently, he didn't dare to keep showing off, and quickly said: "This is the puree of ancient wine!"
"Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the year, during the construction of a small city in the south, an ancient winery ruins were dug up. There were only three bottles of ancient wine puree sealed in the cellar, and my brother took them all. "
He brought three teacups, opened the porcelain bottle carefully, and poured half a cup into the cups one by one. The aroma of the wine immediately filled the room, as if it was so rich that it couldn't be melted away, making people want to get drunk.
Chen Youcai looked curiously, and saw a pool of amber liquor in the white porcelain cup, one could tell it was extraordinary.
"Old Dai, you are so stupid to drink alcohol, you can also drink the puree of ancient wine? Are you really afraid of alcohol poisoning?"
Shen Junhu held the cup up to his nose and smelled it, and asked with a strange expression.
"Of course I didn't drink it directly. Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Boss Dai said cheerfully, "This has been diluted by the bartender. Don't worry about drinking it, it's guaranteed to be fine!"
Chen Youcai didn't like drinking very much, but right now he had no choice but to bring the cup to his mouth, and after taking a sip, his eyes involuntarily opened slightly.
There is no spicy taste in the mouth of this wine, but it is accompanied by a touch of sweetness and fragrance, as if drinking some kind of light juice drink.
However, the feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking reminded him all the time that this was real liquor.
"How about it? Most people can't drink my baby. Today, in order to entertain the two of you, I, Lao Dai, have spent a lot of money."
Boss Dai waited eagerly for the compliments from Chen Youcai and Shen Junhu.
Chen Youcai nodded with a smile, but Shen Junhu curled his lips, and said with some distaste: "It's too bland, it smells like washing pot water, but you're so good at boasting..."
"You are just a rough person, and I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you."
Boss Dai was not angry at all, he took out his cell phone, and showed Chen Youcai a weird smile that "men can understand".
"It's too boring for the three elders to just drink. I'll ask a few girls to help me out."
Shen Junhu rolled his eyes, and said, "Old Dai, are you deliberately wanting me to violate discipline?"
"Who would dare? Why don't you just stay by yourself later? Why do you have to recruit Brother Youcai to become a monk with you?"
Boss Dai didn't give Chen Youcai a chance to refuse, he talked and laughed nonchalantly after talking to the phone.
"..."
Chen Youcai opened his mouth in a daze, and looked at Shen Junhu in embarrassment. The latter didn't know what he thought of, and the corner of his mouth was tilted, but he didn't make a sound to refute, and instead smiled and chatted with Boss Dai.
Not long after, exquisite side dishes were brought up one after another like water, but the portion of each dish was pitifully small, the kind that could be bottomed out with a few chopsticks.
Chen Youcai carefully picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in his mouth. Before he could savor it carefully, he heard a slight sound of footsteps at the door, and then someone knocked on the door lightly.
"People are coming."
Boss Dai smiled cheerfully and shouted towards the door. The wooden sliding door frame was pushed out of a gap, revealing several young girls standing together at the door.
Even though Chen Youcai didn't pay much attention to those film and television stars on weekdays, he couldn't help being so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
Because of the few people standing at the door, there are three popular female stars who are often on the hot search!
"Hello, Mr. Dai."
"Long time no see, Mr. Dai."
Several beautiful girls seemed to have no stage fright, and they were particularly familiar with this kind of scene, leaning towards the short and fat Boss Dai one after another.
"Don't stick to me, you two go to accompany my friend."
Boss Dai pointed casually, and two of the girls obediently got up and walked over to Chen Youcai and Shen Junhu and sat down beside them.
Shen Junhu's face was dark, as if strangers should not enter, Chen Youcai had never experienced this kind of battle, and smelling the faint fragrance from the other party, he suddenly felt overwhelmed, and his whole body began to feel uncomfortable.
These girls were obviously veterans at the wine table, and Chen Youcai also drank several glasses under the persuasion of the person beside him with a charming smile.
When he felt his head buzzing and drowsy, when he raised his eyes, he suddenly found a pair of cautious eyes looking at the table.
That seemed to be the girl with the lowest status among the girls in the field. Although she was also well-dressed, she didn't dare to press forward like the others, and could only sit at the table in embarrassment without saying a word.
Chen Youcai glanced at her, feeling vaguely familiar, and was about to concentrate on it.
But the girl bit her red lip and approached proactively, and said with a low laugh, "Sir, you, is your name Chen Youcai?"
"You are... Wen Xiuxiu?"
Hearing this familiar soft voice, Chen Youcai froze for a moment, then slapped his forehead suddenly, and finally remembered it.
She was actually her classmate next door in high school, Wen Xiuxiu!
It's just that when they were in school, the two didn't have any intersections. After several years, the other party was able to recognize him, which really surprised Chen Youcai.
