When Li Yuanhe hesitated, he suddenly looked down and saw the jade pendant hanging on his chest. The figure of the old man gradually appeared in his mind, and he remembered the old man's teaching to himself. I firmly grasped the jade pendant on my chest and stuffed it into my clothes. When Li Yuanhe raised his head again, the whole person seemed to have changed, and he seemed so confident.
The middle-aged man in front of him was stunned when he saw this change. He had never seen a person change his temperament completely in such a short time. When he regained consciousness, Li Yuanhe had already stood in front of him and looked at him with a smile on his face. The middle-aged man also gave a slight smile. Now he is more and more interested in this young man. At that time, the middle-aged man again made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuanhe, and Li Yuanhe just nodded slightly, then straightened his chest and looked up, and walked towards the restaurant.
The bartender, standing at the door of the restaurant, frowned when he saw Li Yuan and such a man dressed as a part-time worker came in. He could not help but frown and showed a trace of disgust on his face. He went directly to Li Yuanhe and was just ready to start driving. But when he looked up and saw Li Yuanhe's eyes, he couldn't help being stunned.
At this time, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, Li Yuanhe was no longer a poor boy dressed in sloppy clothes, as if he had suddenly become an aristocrat. This is entirely due to the noble temperament of Li Yuanhe at this time. So until Li Yuanhe passed by the bartender, the words that the bartender had stopped at his throat were still unable to speak.
But the middle-aged man who came in behind was no longer surprised. Li Yuanhe's temperament suddenly showed, even himself, was almost frightened, not to mention such an ordinary bartender. He walked to the bartender and patted the stunned bartender on the shoulder, but he recalled the bartender to God.
The bartender looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said in surprise: "Oh! This is not Lord Luo! Come on, please! Come on in! You haven't come to our shop for a long time
However, the middle-aged man just nodded slightly and said to the bartender, "is my seat empty?"
The bartender nodded and said, "no! No, Our shopkeeper is looking forward to your patronage every day. "
The middle-aged man smiles. Obviously, the bartender flattered him very much. He nodded, pointed to Li Yuanhe in front of him and said, "I'm going to invite this friend to dinner today. Go tell your shopkeeper and bring me the best food and wine in your shop! So that I can entertain my friends
The bartender followed the middle-aged man's finger and saw Li Yuanhe waiting in the middle of the lobby. Suddenly, he was suddenly surprised. No wonder he looked so extraordinary, but he turned out to be his friend. Immediately, the bartender tried his best to place his head and said with a smile: "please don't worry! Shopkeeper, if you know it's Lord Luo who brought his friends here, you won't lose face! Lord Luo, please go upstairs! Please go upstairs
The middle-aged man was a little impatient, waved and said, "OK! Don't I know my seat yet? I'll just go by myself! Go and prepare food and wine for me
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes Although he was driven away by a middle-aged man like a fly, the bartender did not feel any displeasure. He walked backward and bowed and nodded to the middle-aged man at the same time.
The middle-aged man turned to Li Yuanhe and said with a smile, "ha ha, let's laugh at you, young Xia! The owner of this restaurant once owed me a debt, so this restaurant was warm to me from the owner to the staff. Come on! Young Xia! Upstairs, please! There's something special about eating on it
Still warm? The bartender almost didn't take his head off for you to sit on! The guests around have never seen the waiter of this restaurant so polite, but after listening to the middle-aged man's statement, they all rolled their eyes involuntarily. The only thing is that the people who eat here are all rich and noble families. They don't want to lose their courtesy and turn to eat their own food immediately. And Li Yuanhe has always maintained that pair of indifferent appearance, smile slightly, follow the middle-aged man to walk upstairs.
If you go directly to the third floor, there are obviously fewer guests. However, you can see that the clothes are all celebrities in the city, which is even higher than those officials and nobles below. However, after seeing Li Yuan and the middle-aged man behind him, all of them stood up and saluted the middle-aged man.
However, the middle-aged man waved his hand with pride on his face. His appearance was quite different from that in front of Li Yuanhe. It was totally the momentum of the superior. Li Yuanhe is standing on the side, quietly watching those celebrities, full of flattery to the middle-aged man to say hello, and the middle-aged man is with a faint smile response.
Finally, after the middle-aged man sent those celebrities away, he walked up to Li Yuanhe, and recovered his friendly expression. With a trace of apology on his face, he said, "young Xia, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Li Yuanhe, however, smiles, shakes his head and says, "it doesn't matter! Boy, it's just waiting for a while"Ha ha!" The middle-aged man gave way to Li Yuanhe and said, "young Xia! Please
Li Yuanhe was not polite. He clasped his fist at the middle-aged man. He led him to the other end of the hall on the third floor. There was an elegant room. The middle-aged man directly opened the door of the elegant room and invited Li Yuanhe in.
After entering the elegant room, Li Yuanhe knew why the middle-aged man chose this elegant room. The decoration of this elegant room is very elegant. On the original wall, it is paved with a layer of green bamboo, which makes the whole room full of the fragrance of green bamboo. Moreover, not only the walls, but also the tables and chairs are all made of green bamboo. On the table top of the table, there is a good celadon vase. There are not red peonies and roses on it, but a few elegant small wild chrysanthemums. But in the window, is just can see the Qinhuai River surface, the microwave rippling, is very freehand. It must be a pleasure to eat in such an environment!
"Young Xia! Please have a seat The middle-aged man asked Li Yuanhe to sit at the table, and then he sat opposite Li Yuanhe. He suddenly remembered something and said to Li Yuanhe: "right! I don't know your surname until now! I don't know what to call you, young Xia? "
Li Yuanhe said with a smile: "the boy's surname is Li, and his name is Yuanhe."
"It's young Xia Li!" The middle-aged man did not hypocritically say what he had heard for a long time, but simply said: "my surname is Luo, a single name is just a housekeeper! Today, the chariot in trouble is the one in my house. It was only because the coachman accidentally let a nearby urchin set fire to a firefight beside the horses, which surprised the horses and caused this disaster. If it wasn't for the help of young Xia, there would have been a lot of troubles in the carriage. At that time, my master would not have spared me! " With that, Luo Yan took up the teapot and cup on the table and got a cup of tea for Li Yuanhe. After handing it to Li Yuanhe, he poured himself another cup and said to Li Yuanhe, "I'll replace wine with tea first. Here's a toast to you, young Xia!"
Li Yuanhe quickly picked up the tea cup and returned a gift to Luo Yan. He drank it all at the same time. After drinking the tea, Li Yuanhe's mind kept turning. Although Luo Yan claimed to be a housekeeper, he was definitely not an ordinary housekeeper. Previously, he thought he was a merchant, but he called his master instead of his boss. Presumably, his master was not a businessman. As a housekeeper, can get so many people's respect, since the master behind is not rich, that is, he has power.
However, Li Yuanhe did not foolishly go to Luo Yan's master. He just laughed and said nothing. Li Yuanhe's appearance makes Luo Yan appreciate him more and more. At this time, the bartender with a plate of food and wine into the elegant room, followed by a fat middle-aged man, it turned out that this restaurant is the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper came to say hello in person after learning that Luo Yan had come, which made Li Yuanhe more and more interested in Luo Yan's identity. Li Yuanhe knows that the boss of this restaurant has a deep background in Jingnan city. As the manager of this restaurant, he usually doesn't appear easily. Today, he comes here to see Luo Yan, the so-called ordinary housekeeper. It can be seen that the power of the master behind Luo Yan is one of the best in Jingnan city.
However, Luo Yan seemed to have nothing to say to the shopkeeper. After a few lukewarm greetings, he invited the shopkeeper and the waiter who had already put the wine and food out of the elegant room. The shopkeeper also had some eyesight. He immediately knew that Luo Yan had something to say to this ragged young man. Even though he pulled the bartender backward and walked out of the elegant room, he did not forget to help Luo Yan close the door.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" After seeing off the shopkeeper, Luo Yan regained his amiable expression in front of Li Yuanhe, picked up the wine glass that had just been poured by the bartender, and addressed Li Yuanhe with respect, saying, "this time, we have wine! Come on! Young Xia Li! Here's to you
"You're welcome, sir." Li Yuanhe quickly raised his glass in return.
Luo Yan listened to Li Yuanhe's words, but his face showed a little unhappy look. He slowly put down his glass, looked at Li Yuanhe strangely and said, "young Xia Li, do you despise me? I'm just a housekeeper, but what kind of master do you call me, young Xia Li? It seems that in the eyes of young Xia Li, I am not willing to regard me as a friend? "
