Chapter 019 Despised
After the three of them got out of the car, they walked into the Western restaurant. They climbed up the steps, and the maple chestnut leaves-shaped chandeliers and wall lamps in the restaurant emitted a dark glow, reflecting the gilded vine patterns on the wall, as well as the decorative murals of the Louvre and the Forbidden City, countless crystal glass mirrors around them, and colorful stained glass windows. Everything in front of you seems to make you in the luxurious palace in Paris, France, in the 18th century.
Li Gang said proudly as he walked: "Sister Dai, you have never been to a big city like Beijing, right? In a place like Beijing, luxury and wealth are the themes here, which are completely incomparable to the small places you were in the past. Let's talk about this Western restaurant, which was opened here 21 years ago, is one of the highest and most luxurious Western restaurants in the country. Although the most famous thing here is not the expensive consumption, it is because many national leaders and celebrities have come to eat. However, although the consumption here is not very expensive, it is also one of the best in the city. A steak alone costs more than 100 US dollars."
Dai Lina was still attracted by the luxury of the restaurant decoration and photos of many celebrities hanging on the walls. When she heard Li Gang say this, she couldn't help but say: "What? More than one hundred US dollars? That's more than eight hundred RMB? Such an expensive place...it's not good for you to spend money like this, right?"
"What's wrong with you? It's natural that it's rare for me to meet you again in more than ten years." Li Gang wanted Dai Lina's sigh. He looked at Jiang Feng proudly and said with a smile, "Jiang Feng, you have never been to such a high-end place? Today you are the blessing of tying your sister, which makes you open your eyes too."
Jiang Feng couldn't hear what Li Gang meant. Didn't he just want to show off his wealth and make himself ashamed? Did he understand the difference with him?
Jiang Feng nodded quietly and smiled: "Okay, I really have to thank Li Gang and Nana very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the blessing to have such an expensive dinner."
Seeing Jiang Feng say this, Li Gang smiled faintly and didn't continue. Instead, he snapped his fingers at the waiter walking over, took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket and put it in the waiter's collar pocket, and said, "Help me set the best place."
Seeing that Li Gang was so happy to give a reward, the waiter couldn't help but nodded repeatedly with a smile, and then led the three of them to the restaurant.
Jiang Feng looked at the Western restaurant and could see that the restaurant was doing well. The people who came here to eat were either successful people with tall suits or high-end nouveau riche. The women sitting there obviously had their own characteristics. Anyway, their appearance would definitely not be bad. I really didn't realize that this place is a good place for private conspiracy.
It has to be said that this Maxim restaurant is indeed extremely luxuriously decorated, which can be seen from the huge crystal chandeliers hanging on the top. Expensive mahogany furniture everywhere, exquisite sterling silver tableware, and Western luxury everywhere.
I don’t know why. Jiang Feng has no good feelings for such a restaurant, but on the contrary he is vaguely disgusted. In fact, if he is asked to choose, the small stir-fry at the roadside stalls are better than the atmosphere here.
The rich people in China always worship the West in everything and want to imitate the West in everything. Some people even think that everything from developed Western countries is good. This is obviously Chinese, but they don’t eat Chinese food and change to Western food every day. What is this called? I forgot all the things from my ancestors, so is it still called human?
With this disgust, Jiang Feng finally led the waiter to the landscape restaurant on the second floor, and finally sat down at a window. Although the table was not too big, the scenery here and the surrounding environment were very comfortable. No wonder people said that eating high-end meals was not good without an elegant environment. Jiang Feng was really taught today.
After Li Gang sat in his seat, he picked up the ordering book on the dining table and flipped it out. After ordering each of the three of them a steak and some snacks, he asked Dai Lina, "Sister Dai, we have been reunited for so many years today, should we order some wine and drink?"
"Ah?" Delina shook her head quickly, "I...I don't drink."
"It's okay, drink a little, Jiang Feng wants to drink it anyway." Li Gang glanced at Jiang Feng and said disdainfully, "Is it right, Jiang Feng?"
Jiang Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, come and show me the meal book. I'm better at wine, I'll order it."
Li Gang glanced at him with contempt, his expression of contempt was very obvious. In his opinion, a country bumpkin dared to say something about wine here, which was simply a joke.
"Jiang Feng, there is only foreign wine here, don't make jokes."
"Oh? It's okay, I'll take a look." Jiang Feng took the meal book and glanced at it, curled his lips, "Waiter, why are the wine here not priced?"
"Puff..." Li Gang had just taken a sip of black tea, and was immediately sprayed out by him. He blushed and said with a blushing smile, "Haha... Jiang Feng, you are so funny. This is a high-end Western restaurant. Of course, I drink famous wines. The prices of famous wines often change. Just call them, what's the price!"
"Oh, so that's it..." Jiang Feng nodded as if he was suddenly enlightened, closed the meal book and said to the waiter, "Then please give us two bottles of Yulu antiquexo supreme versions. This wine hasn't been drunk for a long time and tastes pretty good."
When the waiter heard Jiang Feng's words, his eyes almost popped out. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Gang next to him waved his hand and put a US dollar bill in his pocket with some impatientness, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go get wine? Really, alcohol is not cheaper? Don't worry, tips are indispensable."
In Li Gang's opinion, Jiang Feng, who was a country bumpkin, must have wanted to show off in front of Dai Lina. As a result, he might have called out the name of the wine sold in a small city that was not as good as the Western restaurant. He had never even heard of the name of the wine, so naturally it could not be much expensive. It can only be because it is probably too cheap. The waiter is worried that there is no profit or kickback.
"Sir, you... are sure you want the Supreme Edition of Antiquexo? But, there seems to be only one bottle of wine in our store, and it is not sold to me." The waiter looked at the tip in his pocket and replied timidly, "If you really want it, I can get it."
When Li Gang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at you, Jiang Feng, don't always drink some street goods. This makes the waiter very embarrassed. This is a high-end restaurant, do you understand?"
"But I'm used to drinking this wine..." Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders with a little aggrieved, and said, "Just one bottle, go get it."
The waiter went to get the wine with a lot of joy. Jiang Feng said to Li Gang with a pretended regret, "Student Li Gang, I really don't know that this place is so high-end. The wine I drink looks too low. They only put one bottle in the whole store. It's really..."
Li Gang smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not their fault. It's understandable, it's understandable, it's understandable!"
Dai Lina looked at Li Gang with a smile on her face, and then looked at Jiang Feng, who pretended to be helpless next to her. She seemed to understand something, blinked her beautiful eyes and squeezed Jiang Feng's thigh in private.
Jiang Feng's face did not show any expression, but his eyes were full of inquiries. When he saw the flashing warning in Dai Lina's beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but realize that her trick seemed to have been seen through by her. She was warning herself that no matter how arrogant and arrogant this Li Gang was, she was a friend she hadn't seen for more than ten years, so she told him not to go too far.
Of course, the exchange of eyes between the two seemed to Li Gang to look at each other with affection, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He pretended to cough and interrupted the two and said, "Sister Dai, I heard that your mother opened a store in Shicheng. If you don't let her come to Beijing, so that our two families can cooperate and achieve a glory."
After hearing this, Dai Lina politely refused and said, "Brother Li, you are joking. My mother just opened a small restaurant. When she came to Beijing, she didn't say whether she could afford to open a store or even if she could open it, it would be a shame for herself. It's not like your family's big business."
She said this and did not forget to look at Jiang Feng, which made Li Gang feel unhappy again.
"My father is quite familiar with several officials in the city. Why would I ask my father to have a relationship with my aunt? In that case, it would be no problem for my aunt to open a store in Beijing." Li Gang didn't understand what Dai Lina was thinking at all, and he wanted to show his gratitude to Dai Lina to gain favor.
"You guys talk first, I want to go to the bathroom." Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't say anything, Dai Lina couldn't help but lose interest in continuing. Li Gang's words made her feel disgusted, making her unable to help but want to find an excuse to leave first.
"Oh, good... OK." Li Gang saw that he wanted to win the other party's happiness flattery but slapped the horse's feet, and he nodded awkwardly to show his understanding. After Jiang Feng let go, Dailina walked towards the bathroom on the other side without looking back.
The entire second-floor restaurant echoed the melodious music of the piano and violin playing live. Jiang Feng and Li Gang looked at each other, and a few strange emotions were faintly rubbed out.
"Jiang Feng, when did you get along with Dai Lina?" Finally, Li Gang couldn't help but speak first. He took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Are you your first love or..."
"Uh, it should be considered a first love." Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, "Nana is the girl I always like."
"Of course, you must be more than one boy who likes Sister Dai." Li Gang said this, and after hesitating for a while, hesitating again.
"Jiang Feng, then you are a person from a small county town in Jiangzhou? You must be shocked by the prosperity and wealth here when you come to this big city, right? It doesn't matter, I can understand your mood of entering this world of luxury from a poor place. I just want to ask you, are you willing to be a member of this city? Or, are you willing to be the protagonist of this city, rather than an outsider?"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Feng glanced at Li Gang, and a sneered in the corner of his mouth, "Student Li Gang, you seem to have something in your words?"
