After going down the mountain, we have to solve the dinner problem as soon as possible.
Since you are visiting West Lake, you have to try the local food.
There are many specialty restaurants here. In addition to the three old restaurants Louwailou, Shanwaishan and Tianwaitian, there are also Zhuangyuanguan, Zhiweiguan, Tianxianglou, Kuiyuanguan...
Whether for the environment or the food, these places are worth a try. After becoming a big boss in his previous life, Su Zelin had eaten at almost all of them.
The place we chose to eat was Louwailou, one of the famous old restaurants in the West Lake Scenic Area. It originated in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and has a long history of more than 160 years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the business cards of Lin'an.
"Drinking in the first floor, enjoying the beauty of the lake and mountains."
This couplet is about Louwailou in West Lake.
It is located on the southern foot of the quiet Gushan Mountain, facing the beautiful West Lake. The environment is classical and elegant. It was one of the must-visit spots for powerful internet celebrities in the past life.
In 2000, the practice of overcharging tourists in scenic spots was not very serious. Of course, no matter what, it is a scenic spot after all, with a good environment, guaranteed service, and a business card-level local specialty restaurant with the label of a state banquet, so the consumption is still relatively considerable.
However, Su Zelin didn't care. He was rich anyway, and he had just had a bowl of Pianerchuan at noon. He was starving now, so he had to have a big meal tonight.
He had already booked the restaurant. The phone number of Louwailou was very easy to remember. It had not been changed from this timeline in his previous life to before Su Zelin's rebirth. Hunzi had come here many times when entertaining his friends, and he had long memorized it.
Before this party, he called a few days in advance to reserve a private seat, otherwise he would probably have to wait in line for a long time.
The dining area is on the observation deck by the window on the second floor, where you can see the beautiful scenery of West Lake from afar. The beautiful scenery and delicious food naturally make you feel relaxed and happy.
"Zelin, the location and environment of this place are great. It shouldn't be expensive, right?"
As soon as Lu Haoran sat down, he looked around curiously and asked.
"It's okay, it's OK, a little more expensive than outside!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly and didn't tell the truth.
A casual meal at Louwailou is enough to buy you several meals at the food stalls outside.
"Zelin, why don't we go to another one?"
Qin Shiqing felt that it might not be that simple.
Because when I walked in just now, I saw that almost all the male guests were dressed in suits and branded clothes, and the female guests were also dressed up beautifully, so I thought this place must be quite high-end.
"Yes, Su Zelin, I think it's enough to just eat something to fill your stomach. There's no need to waste it!" Xiaoyanzi also agreed.
"What's there to change? If you come to West Lake and don't check in at one of the specialty restaurants here, then your trip would be in vain!"
Su Zelin disagreed.
The others were about to say something when the door was pushed open and a female minister wearing a cheongsam with a beautiful face and figure came in.
Seeing that they looked like college students, her expression looked a little strange.
It is quite rare to see college students coming to this place to eat, and most of them are powerful and wealthy businessmen.
However, the female minister still said politely: "Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Louwailou. May I ask which one is Mr. Su who made the reservation?"
"My phone number ends with *********"
Compared to the reservedness of others, Su Zelin was very relaxed, crossing his legs and looking very carefree.
In his previous life, coming to Louwailou to have a meal was just a common occurrence for him, so this kind of scene was nothing.
"Okay, what would you like to eat? We have many specialties in Louwailou..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Zelin.
"West Lake Vinegar Fish, Eight Treasures, Huo Tong Fairy Duck, Lotus Leaf Steamed Pork, Braised Braised Spring Bamboo Shoots and Diced Broad Beans. That's about it!"
Hunzi listed several dishes in one breath, and they were all Louwailou's signature dishes. He also knew the tastes of Qin Shiqing and the other two very well, so he could take care of them without asking for their opinions.
The female minister was a little confused.
This young man, who is still so childish, sounds like an old customer of Louwailou.
Previously, she was a little worried that the college students might not be aware of the consumption here and whether they could pay the bill. She was also thinking about whether she should give them some advice, but now it seems a bit unnecessary.
Maybe it was the second generation of the rich greeting their friends...
"Oh, by the way, two more bottles of Qiandao Lake, no ice required!"
Su Zelin reminded again.
"OK!"
The female minister nodded and wrote them down one by one on the list.
"Well, what would you like to drink?"
Su Zelin asked the two girls again.
"Jane, big white pear!"
Xiaoyanzi didn't even think about it.
She is a die-hard fan of the Big White Pear, and calls it the Stress-Relief Big White Pear, saying that drinking it can relieve stress.
As soon as she finished speaking, the female minister looked at her strangely: "I'm sorry, we don't have this kind of drink in Louwailou."
This famous restaurant is an upscale place, even the beverage brands are high-end.
The female minister thought that this rich second-generation friend seemed a bit old-fashioned.
Xiaoyanzi felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
It seems like I ordered the wrong thing, it's inappropriate.
"Sorry, my friend likes to drink big white pear!"
Su Zelin calmly took out a twenty-dollar bill and put it into the female minister's hand: "Do you have it now?"
As far as he knew, these ministers in Louwailou would do anything as long as you tip them enough.
Sure enough, the female minister's eyes lit up.
She likes this kind of generous guests.
I originally thought that the person I was hosting was a college student and that there would be no tipping, but I didn't expect that this rich second-generation was very understanding.
Don't underestimate these twenty yuan. It is already a lot under the current price level, equivalent to two hundred yuan in later generations.
"Sure, sir, I'll take some time to go to the convenience store next door and buy it for you later!"
The female minister's attitude became more respectful.
"Then I want a big white pear too!"
Lu Haoran expressed his opinion.
He could also sense that Xiaoyanzi was in a very embarrassing situation just now. Although his gay friend helped her out, he felt that he should still share the embarrassment with Xiaoyanzi.
"If possible, I want the Arctic Ocean!"
Qin Shiqing had the same idea as the honest man.
Tang Yan was moved at once.
It’s great to have these friends!
"Then let's have two big white pears and two Arctic Oceans!"
Su Zelin took out another ten yuan and stuffed it into the female minister's pocket. This was extra money for buying soda. The scoundrel waved his hand and said generously, "No need to change!"
"Thank you, Mr. Su. Please wait a moment!"
The female minister's attitude at this point was almost flattering.
I quickly memorized the menu and left the box.
As soon as she left, the three people's eyes fell on the gangster.
"What's wrong? I got a flower on my face?"
Su Zelin asked casually while boiling water.
"Su Zelin, why do I feel like you are very familiar with this place, like you come here often?"
Xiaoyanzi couldn't help it.
Hunzi thought to himself that I really did come here often, but it was only in my previous life.
"No, I just read some guides online and know what dishes are delicious here!"
He just found an excuse.
"oh!"
Xiaoyanzi nodded slightly without any suspicion.
Although they often bickered with each other, she really admired Hunzi in her heart.
Even though Su Zelin didn't do well in high school, he is really reliable in other aspects.
He arranged this trip to West Lake, and made good use of the limited time of the day. We visited many places with unique scenery, and everyone had a great time.
Then for dinner, he will find you a unique restaurant with a great environment and antique style, and you will be in a good mood all day long.
It was the first time for everyone else in this high-end restaurant and they were a little restrained, but he was calm and experienced. I would never have been able to do that.
"Zerlin, what you just gave me was a tip, right? Is twenty dollars too much?"
Lu Haoran felt very distressed. He felt that Su Zelin was really not picky about spending money.
"It's okay. This money will be worth it. Let me tell you, with these twenty dollars, the dishes will be served much faster. Do you believe it?"
Louwailou's business is booming, and with the National Day holiday in between, customers are still arriving even after eight o'clock. When they entered just now, the restaurant was still packed.
However, if anyone is sensible and gives tips, the female manager will usually arrange your order faster.
In his previous life, if Su Zelin came here to eat in a hurry, he would sometimes just order a few Red Bulls and his order would be put at the front.
The water boiled quickly, and Su Zelin skillfully brewed Longjing tea.
When you come to West Lake, you must drink Longjing tea.
People who do big business all know something about the tea ceremony, and Hunzi's tea-making skills are perfect.
Watching him go through the professional tea-making process with grand and elegant movements, Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi both felt impressed.
Qin Shiqing was not surprised. Su Zelin often drank Kung Fu tea with Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing at home. Even Su's father and Qin's father praised his tea art.
"Zelin, if you study harder, you can get into Peking University or Tsinghua University easily!"
Lu Haoran also sighed.
He never doubted how smart his best friend was.
"If he really had to work harder, we might not be able to gather here today!"
Xiaoyanzi deeply agreed.
"So, it's good that this guy is a little lazy. And Shiqing scored 700 points but underestimated by that much. In the end, she applied to Zhejiang University. This is really fate, but it's not bad. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Shiqing and I to meet, hehe!"
Xiaoyanzi is quite satisfied with the final college results of several good friends. Although no one is in the same college, it is not difficult to make an appointment for a small weekend gathering at any time.
We had just been drinking tea for a while when the dishes were served one after another. It seemed that the tip played a role, otherwise it would never have been so fast.
Of course, there are also two branches of Arctic Ocean and Jane White Pear.
They were all starving, so they started eating with relish. Xiaoyanzi praised as she ate: "Su Zelin, the dishes you ordered taste really good. This guide is well done!"
The taste of Louwailou’s specialty dishes is still online, and almost all of the dishes ordered by Su Zelin are signature dishes.
"I really want to eat more, but I'm afraid I'll gain weight. I'm so conflicted 55555..."
Every time Xiaoyanzi took a bite of food, she felt pain and joy.
"Don't count on losing weight. Bajie walked 108,000 miles and didn't lose weight. And he's a vegetarian. If you don't eat more, how can you lose weight?"
Su Zelin chuckled.
Xiaoyanzi was stumped by the question and had no answer. She thought to herself that this boy has so many twisted ideas and the key is that you can't refute them.
While eating and drinking soda, Su Zelin also opened two bottles of Qiandao Lake and poured a glass for himself and Lu Haoran.
When eating out, he is used to drinking a little wine to liven up the atmosphere.
"Is this stuff really that delicious? Why do so many boys like to drink it after entering college?"
Xiaoyanzi became interested.
At the farewell party, she used Jianlibao instead of wine to toast several teachers, and she had never touched alcohol.
"It's not that it tastes so good." Su Zelin pondered for a moment: "How should I put it? Drinking is similar to smoking. Many people don't drink alcohol, but loneliness. Life is always lonely like snow!"
"Well, Aristotle is here again!"
Xiaoyanzi rolled her eyes.
Su Zelin always said some meaningful words, and she had heard a lot of them.
“Life is like constipation. Sometimes you try your best but all that comes out is shit!”
“Don’t always say leave everything to time. Time is too lazy to clean up your mess!”
“Don’t be pretentious when making money, and don’t be fussy when spending money. Life won’t be gentle to you just because you cry, but you can live a charming life through hard work. This is the life you deserve.”
…
You know what, sometimes it's quite philosophical and thought-provoking.
"Su Zelin, we are all seventeen years old, why do you look like a veteran in his thirties?"
Xiaoyanzi was puzzled.
Qin Shiqing's heart moved, and she remembered Yan Qiuwen's evaluation of her childhood sweetheart.
"This person's actual mental age must be at least thirty years, and his thoughts and experiences are much richer than those of the average person of the same mental age!"
It's really quite pertinent.
By the way, are people more likely to speak their mind after drinking
"I want some, too!"
Qin Shiqing pushed the glass in front of her over.
"Why are you drinking?"
Su Zelin frowned. He didn't approve of his childhood sweetheart drinking.
"I want to experience what it feels like to be lonely like snow."
Qin Shiqing raised her eyebrows.
“I want to try it too!”
Xiaoyanzi ran over and grabbed another bottle of Qiandao Lake and poured it for herself and Qin Shiqing.
The two girls took a sip and frowned.
"Ugh, what the hell is this sour and astringent taste? It's not as delicious as a big white pear at all!"
Xiaoyanzi complained.
"You were told to try it when you had nothing to do. Don't throw it away and waste it. If you can't finish it, give it to the rat!"
Su Zelin snorted.
The honest man's heart beat faster when he heard this.
I've already had that cup of Xiaoyanzi, if I drink it again, wouldn't we be indirectly...
No, no, how can I think about such a thing!
I am not a dirty person, I don’t have dirty thoughts, I cannot have dirty thoughts…
Unfortunately, after drinking a few more sips, Xiaoyanzi reluctantly got used to this strange problem. Although she didn't think it tasted good, she could still accept it.
…
After dinner, it was already late.
Su Zelin took a taxi. Since they were all in the university town, they were going the same way.
The Normal University and the University of Technology are closer, so Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi got off the bus one after another, leaving only Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing in the back row.
Qin Shiqing drank a little wine during the meal, not a lot, but it was her first time and she had a sensitive constitution, so she felt a little dizzy.
Two red clouds appeared on the girl's pretty face, contrasting with her white jade neck, like the morning glow reflecting on the snow, bright and gorgeous.
Under the influence of alcohol, Qin Shiqing's pair of almond-shaped eyes became watery, and even had a charming and attractive taste.
Su Zelin took a casual glance at her and his heart beat fast. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window, not daring to meet her gaze.
However, even though he could hide from the eyes, the girl's subtle fragrance, like the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus, still wafted into his nose, mixed with the smell of alcohol, blending into the scent of hormones that could easily make men distracted.
Maybe it's because I drank too much beer and my mouth is a bit dry.
This journey was both joyful and torturous, and it always felt very long.
After an unknown amount of time, the taxi finally arrived at the gate of the girls' dormitory building.
"Zelin, I'm at the dormitory, you should go back early too!"
"Um!"
Su Zelin nodded, still looking out the window.
Seeing him like this, the girl felt annoyed for some reason, and suddenly she had an idea to play a prank. She leaned close to Su Zelin's ear, exhaled sweetly, and whispered, "Zelin, let me tell you a little secret."
The hot breath tickled his ears. Su Zelin was distracted and asked casually, "What secret?"
"Actually, I didn't misjudge the score!"
"What?"
Su Zelin woke up instantly, his eyes widened, and his gaze turned to his childhood sweetheart.
"You were just kidding, idiot. Good night!"
Qin Shiqing burst into laughter, opened the car door and walked out.
She skipped into the gate and turned back to make a face at the gangster.
The girl felt a little proud in her heart, damn Gemini, you always say one thing and mean another, this time I will let you guess whether it is true or not!
The taxi driver was quite envious. Although he didn't know what the girl and the boy said just now, it should be sweet words or something like that. It's really good to be young.
"Young man, your girlfriend is very nice, you must cherish her. When I was in school, there was also a girl who treated me very well, but unfortunately later..."
The taxi driver sighed deeply, feeling very sad. It seemed that he was a man with a story.
Su Zelin didn't say anything, his face was still full of shock.
Can't be true
Could it be that my brother was tricked by this woman
After watching the taxi go away and disappear into the darkness, Qin Shiqing walked towards the girls' dormitory building.
As soon as I entered the room, my roommate Deng Xiaoman joked, "Hey, someone is back from a sweet date!"
"What sweet date? It's not just me and Zelin. There are two good friends from high school. We are just hanging out together and having a small gathering!"
Qin Shiqing is shy and can't stand teasing.
"Come on, look how happy you are, and you're having a little get-together!"
Xiao Yue also came over. She seemed to smell something, and her nose twitched cutely: "Uh, Shi Qing, you drank some wine, that's even more serious. Come on, tell me, how many bases did you and your childhood sweetheart get on today?"
"What's on base?"
"Hand in hand on first base, kiss on second base, make love on home run!"
"Oh my god, Yueyue, why are you so evil? That's nothing to us!"
"… "
After a few girls teased Qin Shiqing for a while, they let her go.
Deng Xiaoman suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Shiqing, your mother called when you were out playing today, why don't you call her back!"
"Okay, I'll fight back!"
Qin Shiqing nodded, took out an IC card, and dialed the number using the public phone in the dormitory.
However, the home phone was connected and Liu Sufen answered the call.
"Hello, Mom, it's me. What's the matter with you calling today?"
"Haha, nothing much, Mom just wanted to chat with you for a while. Shiqing, did you go out to play with your classmates today?"
Liu Sufen asked casually.
"No, I went there with Zelin, Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran."
Qin Shiqing said frankly.
"Oh, you went there with Zelin. How was it? Did you have fun?"
Mother Qin was not surprised to hear that her daughter was with Su Zelin. They had such a good relationship and lived in the same city, so it was normal for them to get together occasionally.
"Yeah, it was fun. We toured the West Lake and visited many ancient temples and pagodas!"
"… "
The two mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Qin Shiqing suddenly remembered something: "Mom, let me tell you something. Ze Lin has become the class monitor."
"Shh, Zelin is the squad leader?"
Liu Sufen's reaction when she heard about this was similar to when she found out that Su Zelin had scored full marks in English in the college entrance examination. She was completely confused.
Mother Qin asked in disbelief, "Daughter, are you sure? Doesn't a class monitor have to be a good student who studies well and is obedient? Or does class teacher Ze Lin not know the students well?"
"Mom, the class leaders in college are not appointed by the head teacher, but elected by classmates. Only those who are popular and well-liked can be elected. This is fair. Zelin's class leader was elected in a real way!"
Qin Shiqing curled her lips and disagreed with what her mother said.
Liu Sufen finally accepted the fact with difficulty.
My daughter has not yet become the class monitor at Zhejiang University, she is just a cultural and entertainment committee member. This is all thanks to her experience in hosting cultural evenings in high school. Unexpectedly, Zelin has become the class monitor!
Mother Qin suddenly discovered that the Su family's child had been refreshing her understanding of him time and time again in recent months.
…
