That night, Hu Maolin found a Shandong restaurant near the hotel where Wang Bo stayed, and welcomed Wang Bo. He said that as a Shudu native, he was afraid it was Sichuan cuisine, and hot pot was not uncommon. Tonight, he would order Shandong cuisine that was not very common in Sichuan and Chongqing to change his taste.

Wang Bo is a person who is not happy with spicy food. Just as everyone thinks that his hometown is the best, he also thinks that there is nothing better in this world than hot pot and Sichuan cuisine. But the guest follows the host, and Hu Maolin said he was going to eat Shandong cuisine, so he echoed that he really has no chance to taste Shandong cuisine, so he will go to see it with Brother Hu tonight.

The Shandong restaurant Hu Maolin found is located deep in an alley. It looks unfavorable and has no characteristics, but it has a world of mind. The decoration of the restaurant is mainly antiques, with screen walls, veranda, carved beams and painted buildings, and a waiter wearing Hanfu. Wang Bo suddenly felt that he had entered the restaurant of a costume drama, which made him feel like the people in the novel shouting:

"Waiter, cut a pound of beef sauce and warm a pot of hot wine, hurry up!"

Then the other party will probably reply:

"Okay, guest! Please wait!" Then he put the white sweat towel on the cloth clothes on his shoulders and hurriedly sang.

However, this can only be his whimsical imagination, and of course it is not so funny in reality. Apart from the decoration and the waiter's clothing, the others are no different from ordinary mid-to-high-end restaurants.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the four of them entered a private room next to the window. The private room was also quaint, with the Eight Immortals table, round stools, and hollow windows close to the window flowers, which reminded Wang Bo not only of the family banquet at Rongguo Mansion in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

The waiter brought the menu and Hu Maolin asked Wang Bo to order the dishes. Wang Bo hurriedly refused and said that Lu Cai was just a layman and everything was followed by his brother's arrangements tonight.

"Haha, okay, I'll try my best to do it." Hu Maolin raised his glasses, smiled, and did not force the other party to open the menu and discuss with Yao Meijuan next to him. Whenever he decided to have a dish, he would ask Wang Bo and Zheng Yan to see if there was any other taboo. Wang Bo did not eat shit, but there were no taboos, so he said that Brother Hu and Sister Yao would decide, and his recipe was very wide.

This is not his kind words. When Wang Bo was a child, he didn't eat many things, such as pepper, mustard, coriander (coriander), vegetables, stinky tofu, pig brain, sashimi. These are his taboos, and he didn't even get a chopstick. But as he got older, suddenly one day, it seemed like he had become enlightened, and things that he felt unbearable in the past suddenly became cute and delicious, and even entered the recipes he often ate.

The boss had no objection, so Zheng Yan, as a subordinate, naturally could not have any objection. Like Wang Bo, he asked Editor Hu and Editor Yao to order it.

Sweet and sour carp, Nine-turn large intestine, soup with crispy soup, Yuji braised chicken, Jinan roast duck, milk soup with porridge...When Wang Bo saw that Hu Maolin had ordered six dishes and wanted to order them again, he hurriedly called the other party and said that they had enough, but they were not too many, so they were wasted if they ordered too much, and if they were not enough, they would order them again.

"Okay, I'm my own person, so we don't do anything. I'll add a pot sticker snack." Hu Maolin added another snack called "pot sticker" and finally handed the menu back to the waiter.

"Brother, is it beer or white?"

"Brother, my recipe is very wide, and the wine recipe is narrow. Just have some beer bar."

"Haha, then we'll drink beer tonight. Where is Xiao Zheng? Have some too?" Hu Maolin smiled and looked at Zheng Yan next to Wang Bo.

"I... I don't know much about drinking, Brother Hu." Zheng Yan looked at the heavy night outside the window, suddenly remembered the advice her mother Bi Xinxue had given to her last night, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Wang Bo looked at her and said, "Swallow, Brother Hu, and Sister Yao are not outsiders. Today, we meet Brother Hu and Sister Yao for the first time. You can pay homage to them later."

Since Wang Bo spoke, his mother had no choice but to throw her advice from him. Zheng Yan nodded and said, "Then I'll drink some."

If you say that others are your own people, you need others to agree with it. Wang Bo's words "It's not an outsider" immediately made Hu Maolin feel excited and laughed:

"Haha, it's refreshing! Women are as good as men, Xiao Zheng is a refreshing person at first! The waiter, first serve three bottles of Yanjing beer and a bottle of orange juice. By the way, Xiao Zheng, do you want ice or room temperature?"

"Thank you Brother Hu, just ice." Zheng Yan said.

"Then let's have three bottles of iced beer and one bottle of orange juice at room temperature."

The waiter left the private room and asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes. When the food was served, the few people started chatting.

Hu Maolin first asked Wang Bo’s former assistant Cheng Wenjin about his recent situation.

"This old guy is still thinking about me, Sister Wenjin!" Wang Bo flattened his mouth in his heart, and then regretfully told the other party that Cheng Wenjin took his artists to the United States to study.

When Hu Maolin heard this, he suddenly felt a hint of disappointment on his face. Although he had only met the other party during the Demon City signing ceremony two years ago, the other party's beautiful appearance, elegant conversation, broad knowledge, and the bookish spirit of "a philosophical and literary spirit" on his body left a deep impression on him. Before leaving today, he also went to the barber shop and sorted himself out, hoping to give the other party a good impression when he saw Wang Bo's female assistant named "Cheng Wenjin". He didn't expect that the other party would have changed, a girl who was not inferior to Cheng Wenjin's appearance, but was older.

However, in Hu Maolin's eyes, it was the woman named Cheng Wenjin that made him feel more interesting. The calm, transcendent and dust-free temperament that the other person had accumulated due to the years and experience was far from the fact that he seemed a little immature in many aspects now, and the young Xiao Zheng could rival it.

"Oh, young people are young people. They only value young beauty and do not know how to appreciate the charm and charm of middle-aged women. If there is a confidante who is as beautiful as Miss Cheng, and he is a worldly lover, he will never let her leave no matter what he says." Hu Maolin, who was disappointed and regretful, sighed in his heart. The little brother who despised him did not understand the charm and wasted his natural resources.

During the chat, the dishes were served one after another by the waiter, and everyone started to eat and chat.

"Brother Zi'an, I haven't had a drink and chat with you for two years. Goodbye today, I'm so happy. Come on, the first cup, I wish Brother Zi'an's new book will be sold tomorrow and create new glory!"

"Brother Hu, you're kind! The same thing, let's work together to create miracles!"

“…”

"Brother Hu, Sister Yao, I'll give you a glass for the first time. Please give me more advice and take care of my younger sister in the future." Zheng Yan looked at the right time and began to get up, toasting Hu Maolin and Yao Meijuan with both hands.

"Haha, you're welcome! You're welcome Xiao Zheng! Compared to Brother Zi'an's literary talent, I actually admire his vision of knowing people more. I used to be Miss Cheng, but now I'm Xiao Zheng. I don't think it will take long. Xiao Zheng, you will definitely become the indispensable left and right arms of Brother Zi'an like Miss Cheng." Hu Maolin laughed and stood up to praise.

"You are polite, Xiao Zheng. The Yangtze River is pushing the old waves. Now it is the world of you young people. Lao Hu and I are old. So, there is no advice. Learn from each other, and we will learn from each other in the future." Yao Meijuan also stood up and used drinks instead of wine. She still had to drive later. Although she also wanted to have two glasses of **** in her heart, she could only restrain herself for the time being.

Because there are few people and everyone here is acquaintances. Although this lunch banquet, which is mainly light and salty, is not very suitable for the spicy Wang Bo taste, he ended up eating it with a fresh taste. During the meal, he chatted with Hu Maolin, Yao Meijuan, and the pretty secretary around him. He talked about many topics in a vague manner.

In short, the host and the host are all happy.
