Kabukicho, Smile Bar.
"Welcome~ This guest is here~" the waiter greeted Jiang Cheng enthusiastically.
"This place looks no different from Yoshihara," Jiang Cheng followed the waiter as he walked into the store. He glanced around and murmured, "It's not necessary to say thank you or anything like that. Why do you have to ask me to come here?" place?"
"Ah! You!" Ayin, who was exchanging drinks with guests in a booth nearby, accidentally glanced at Jiang Cheng and said in shock, "Why are you here?!"
"Who are you? Do you know me?" Jiang Cheng scratched his head and was confused, but then he suddenly realized something, sighed and said seriously, "This is not good, this way of soliciting customers is too old-fashioned. Pretend. As an acquaintance or something.”
"Do you think I'm chatting with you?!" Ayin was a little crazy, "We just met a few days ago, okay!"
"Eh? Really?" Jiang Cheng scratched his head again, then immediately put on an apologetic smile and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm blind to women with average figures and average personalities."
"What do you mean?! Do you mean that I have a bad figure and no personality?! You weak soul!" Ayin said angrily.
"I didn't expect that your judgment of yourself is quite accurate. This is your advantage! It seems that you are not useless! Platycodon!" Jiang Cheng nodded and said.
"Who are you calling Kikyo? Can you remember the names of others clearly? Are you here to see my jokes?! Are you here to see my jokes because you stole all your money?!"
"I don't know what you are talking about, I just got invited here..." Jiang Cheng said casually, picking his ears.
"Can't Yoshiwara's women satisfy you?" Ayin sneered and then mocked, "They go to this kind of place specifically to have fun."
"Guest, who can you name?" asked the waiter on the side.
"Miss A Miao." Jiang Cheng replied.
A Yin, who was on the side, looked at A Miao, who was running towards Jiang Cheng with a smile on her face, and her whole body felt bad.
"Jiang Chengsang, this way~" A Miao shouted to Jiang Cheng while jogging.
"Is it really okay? I really don't have a penny..." Jiang Cheng was a little embarrassed, "This month's funds have been all used to buy games..."
"No problem. I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Xinjiang. Why would you let me spend money~" A Miao waved her hand and said with a smile, "By the way, didn't Miss Yue Yong come?"
"Ah, Baihua still has some things to deal with. She said she would come later." Jiang Cheng replied.
Ayin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Cheng's words, and at the same time thought to herself: [I'm so scared, I almost thought it was that woman who tricked me, but I didn't expect that she turned out to be a pauper~]
As a result, Ayin felt relieved again and continued to accompany the guests around her to exchange glasses of wine.
…
"Is it really okay?" Jiang Cheng sat in the booth, always a little cautious, and he felt a little unsure.
"It doesn't matter, you can drink whatever you want. You don't have to pay for it today." A Miao replied with a smile, "And I heard from Xinjiang that Jiang Chengsang seems to only drink Chinese wine, and the store happened to have introduced a batch of Chinese wine. Where’s the liquor~”
"Really?" Jiang Cheng said with some uncertainty, and picked up the wine list, "Feitian Moutai. Wuliangye. Feitian Moutai mixed with Wuliangye, Wuliangye mixed with Feitian Moutai, light Feitian Moutai mixed with Feitian Moutai, light Wuliangye mixed with Wuliangye. This What are they?"
"Isn't it the Chinese wine you like?" A Miao was always smiling.
"These are a bit expensive, aren't you, Miss A Miao, who already lives a very reserved life? Is it really okay to order something so expensive?" Jiang Cheng asked with some uncertainty, "Actually, my ordinary Chinese wine is fine, this kind of expensive It’s really not necessary.”
"Even at this time, you are still thinking of me..." A Miao wiped the corners of her eyes in emotion, and then complained, "This really doesn't matter, after all, he is our great benefactor, what does this mean?"
"It's nothing to talk about being a great benefactor..." Jiang Cheng scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he couldn't remember when he became A Miao's great benefactor.
"Don't worry, your friends will pay for all today's purchases!" A Miao said with a smile.
"Friend?" Jiang Cheng was a little confused.
"Yes~" As she said this, A Miao looked towards the door, "Isn't that coming?"
"Who is it?" Jiang Cheng also followed A Miao's gaze and looked over. There was a somewhat familiar man with naturally curly silver hair and a slightly familiar madao.
…
"You mean here, right? This is right, right?" Hasegawa glanced around and said uncertainly.
"This place looks very expensive, is that okay?" Gintoki muttered as he walked.
"Ah! You're not from the Master House..." Ayin looked up and saw Gintoki, who was looking around.
"Hey, isn't this a shrine maiden who has the shamelessness to lose everything and refuse to admit it?" Gintoki said casually.
"Who are you talking about and won't admit losing? Aren't you the first one to yell for a refund?!" Ayin stood up and was furious, "And why are you here?"
"I made an appointment with an acquaintance..."
"Guest, who can you name?" asked the waiter on the side.
"Miss Amiao." Gintoki turned around and replied.
Seeing A Miao running towards me with a smile on her face again, A Yin finally realized that she had been tricked! [That shameless woman! Actually looking for someone to be a guest! Not only that Yoshihara one, but also these two! How careless I was! I'm so clueless!]
Thinking of this, Ayin picked up the phone and rushed out, [Asshole! It’s not too late to remedy this! None of them look like rich people! Even the Yoshiwara man said he didn’t bring a penny with him! I will definitely win!]
…
"Hey, Gintoki, are you here too?" Jiang Cheng said hello, and then poured himself a glass of wine. To be precise, it was a bottle of Wuliangye called in Gintoki's name.
"Now you can feel at ease. You don't have to worry about being detained if you don't have any money." The moment he saw Jiang Cheng, Gintoki felt relieved, and then sat down, "Looks like I can have a good drink today." Now! Hasegawa-san, please sit down too."
"What are you talking about?" After Jiang Cheng finished his drink, he turned to Gintoki and asked doubtfully, "Didn't I tell you that you were treating me? I didn't bring a penny with me~"
In an instant, Gintoki's face darkened, and he looked at the bottle of expensive-looking Chinese liquor on the table, "Hashido Sack... A treat? I'm a treat? When did Gin-san ever say such a thing as a treat?!"
"Miss A Miao said that," Jiang Cheng said matter-of-factly, and then sighed slightly, "I didn't expect to be able to drink the wine you invited me~ I really didn't expect it~ You have only invited a handful of guests since I was a child."
"In that case, that bottle of wine..."
"Well, of course I called in your name." Jiang Cheng replied without thinking, "Thank you very much. I originally wanted to order some cheap Chinese wine, but it seems that there are only these two kinds of Chinese wine in this store. It’s really costing you a lot of money~”
"I would like to ask, how much does this bottle cost?"
"It seems to be 50,000 yen," Jiang Cheng replied, "This is the cheaper one, and the other one seems to be 50,001 yen. I helped you save money~"
"If you want to help me save money, why don't you order some! Is it necessary to save that yen?!" Gintoki yelled, "Do you think I'm a rich man like you?! I usually drink soju with half the amount. It’s watery!”
"I can't help it. Who told me that there is no other wine here?" Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said helplessly.
"Speaking of it, little brother, the alcohol content you drank is really high..." Hasegawa on the side was not polite, poured himself a glass and took a sip, "But it was unexpectedly good. Thank you so much Ginsang, it turned out that Invite us to drink such high-end wine!”
"I never said I'd treat you to a drink! Don't talk to yourself like that!" Gintoki said angrily.
"I understand," Jiang Cheng sighed, his tone timid, "Then, let me help you with some of it. This is my last private money."
"Oh! I even forgot that you have the habit of hiding money!" Gintoki said in surprise, "Then please..."
Before the words were spoken, Jiang Cheng had already taken off both shoes, took out the few remaining steel pendants and placed them in Gintoki's hand, "No need to thank me, who made me so kind? ?”
"I don't need three hundred yuan of kindness anymore!"
"What are you talking about Gintoki? Three hundred yuan is enough to buy a copy of Jump! Are you looking down on three hundred yuan?!"
"This is the money for the drink just now," A Miao took out all the money from her wallet and handed it to the waiter.
"You..." Gintoki murmured in disbelief, "I never thought that there are people who can understand Gin-san and my wallet."
"Remember to write Sakata Gintoki on the invoice." A Miao said the second half of the sentence.
"No, you're the one paying the bill. Why do you write my name on the invoice..." As he said that, Gintoki suddenly noticed that the wallet in A Miao's hand looked familiar. It seemed to be the same brand as his own old wallet. Gintoki looked at it carefully. After taking a look, "Isn't that my wallet?! When did you take it away?!"
"Huh? Didn't you just hand it to me?" A Miao asked doubtfully.
"When did I give it to you!" Gintoki shouted, and took his wallet back, opened his wallet and took a look, "All the money I have... I earned from playing with small steel balls for two whole days. … It’s all gone!!!”
"Isn't it?" A Miao continued, "Just now you were sitting there with your arms open, and people accidentally saw you and thought you did it on purpose~"
"Who did this on purpose! That's not what happened at all!" Gintoki went crazy, "And why didn't you just grab a bottle of wine worth 50,000 yen!"
"Okay, okay, Gin-san," Hasegawa advised, "Since the alcohol content is so high, just treat it as shochu. If you mix it with water, this bottle is enough, and there is no need to spend extra."
