Walking on the spacious and clean streets of Jiangnan City, admiring the lush trees and colorful flowers on the river bank, you will feel like you are walking in a romantic atmosphere.
The city's lighting project is very beautiful. Various kinds of lanterns are hung along the river banks, showing scenery and characters, which are lifelike. The lights are dazzling, adding the icing on the cake to the already beautiful city, making it like a peerless beauty, showing her gentleness.
After walking through two blocks, you will arrive at the Yu Shui Bridge.
From afar, both sides of the Yu Shui Bridge are filled with neon lights and shops. The square in front of the door is filled with tables and chairs. In the distance, there is an antique building with a huge exterior wall that is a bright screen that plays food advertisements.
Broadcasting food advertisements here will definitely stimulate consumption. Ye Feng and the others looked at the tempting food on the big screen and seemed to feel hungry instantly.
Ye Feng looked at his watch. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. It was time to go to bed, but the squares on both sides of the Yu Shui Bridge were full of people.
In this season, the temperature is pleasant, which is suitable for eating outdoors. Once spring comes, the temperature in Jiangnan City will immediately reach over 30 degrees, and it is only suitable to eat indoors with air conditioning.
Now is the season for eating at food stalls, so at 10 o'clock in the evening, even if it is past dinner time, almost all food stalls are packed and it is difficult to get a seat.
Zhao Dongqiang brought Ye Feng to a food stall called Tiantianle Food. The owner was a burly fat man. When he saw Zhao Dongqiang coming, he immediately nodded and bowed and ran over.
"Brother Qiang, you are here. I reserved a seat for you after receiving your call. There is only one empty table. Several groups of guests wanted to take the seat, but I rejected them all. I can ignore others, but I have to give face to Brother Qiang."
Zhao Dongqiang can be considered a big customer of Tiantianle. The basketball team comes here to eat almost every day, and they come in groups of three or five after exercising in the evening.
The most important reason why it is called a big customer is a big word.
What's big
Basketball players are big in stature, eat big, and drink even more.
When the basketball players drink, each person drinks a box of wine, and when they eat, each person eats three dishes. After exercising, they consume a lot of energy and are tired and hungry, so they eat a lot.
When the boss saw Zhao Dongqiang coming, he became alert as if he had seen the God of Gamblers.
Zhao Dongqiang arranged Ye Feng and Lu Qingqing to sit down, and began to instruct the boss.
"Boss Zhou, bring me your signature dishes. The dishes that other tables ordered need to be stir-fried. Bring me twenty of them, a combination of meat and vegetables, and the portions can't be too small. Most importantly, you have to eat them quickly. We just played basketball and we're all starving."
Zhao Dongqiang and his friends all have experience eating here. Because there are too many people in the food stall, if they order dishes casually, the chef has to prepare the dishes according to the menu, wash the vegetables, cut them, and then fry them, which takes a long time.
He just ordered the same as other tables, which was to cook the dishes in a pan and ask the boss to wrap the vegetables. This way the dishes were served faster and saved preparation time.
"Okay, we'll serve you the food right away."
Asong filled the tea for Ye Feng and Lu Qingqing: "Master, his dishes are very delicious. Generally, the customers who come here are repeat customers, and the dishes they order are their favorites, so it is definitely a good idea to let them pack the vegetables."
Ye Feng smiled: "Your father not only likes playing ball, but also likes food."
Zhao Dongqiang laughed heartily and said, "We are a group of foodies. We play ball every day and are under a lot of pressure. We don't have any entertainment activities to relax. We just play with our phones, eat and drink."
Ye Feng understands them very well. If they play well and win, they will get bonuses and praise from others, and their life will be peaceful and harmonious. But if they lose, they will be scolded by the fans and their bonuses will be deducted. People like Su Changxin will also withhold their wages, which makes them bear more pressure.
Ye Feng smiled: "Miss Lu, Highland Fund, and some directors have discussed it. I am willing to make additional investments and pay everyone first, so that everyone can have money to come over for a drink and relax after training every day."
Zhao Dongqiang filled Ye Feng's glass of beer, and Asong wanted to pour Lu Qingqing a beer as well. Lu Qingqing hesitated. She wanted to drink a little as well, not knowing whether she could drink it, so she looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Just accompany Brother Qiang, and Brother Song and the others should drink less."
Zhao Dongqiang and Asong were flattered and quickly retorted: "I am your apprentice, you have to call me Xiaoqiang, not Brother Qiang."
"Master, you have to call me Xiaosong, not Brother Song."
Seeing their fearful expressions, Lu Qingqing and Ye Feng both smiled.
Lu Qingqing smiled brightly: "Then I'll have a drink, Xiaoqiang and Xiaosong, you guys should drink less."
Ah Song poured a glass of beer for Lu Qingqing with a playful smile, and said in a coquettish voice: "Hey, auntie can drink with Song'er, Song'er is very grateful, Song'er is so happy."
Zhao Dongqiang kicked him and said, "Don't be so disgusting, please. Don't make such disgusting noises when you drink. There's nothing wrong with calling me aunt, but you're so disgusting when you say 'Song'. You are dog shit, dog shit, don't make me feel uncomfortable."
Ah Song looked unconvinced: "Humph, Zhao Dongqiang, I may not be able to beat you in basketball, but when it comes to drinking, I'm not afraid of you."
Zhao Dongqiang had a look of contempt on his face and opened two bottles of beer at lightning speed, one for himself and one for Asong.
"Hey, it seems like you want to challenge me, okay, I'll take over. If you don't accept it, let's whistle against each other. You drink as much as I drink, and I'll drink as much as you drink, and see who wins."
Asong and Zhao Dongqiang were glaring at each other and were about to compete in drinking. Suddenly, Asong narrowed his eyes, smiled, and filled his glass with a smile.
"Brother Qiang, you are so cruel. If Master wasn't here, I would have done it to accompany Master and Master's Aunt. I almost fell for your trick."
Since Asong had given in, Zhao Dongqiang did not push him any further. He smiled triumphantly, "Although you can't drink much, your IQ is okay. You know you can't drink more than me, so you brought up Master. Okay, I won't fight you today. We'll fight again when Master is not here."
Each glass is filled with foamy beer with a strong malt aroma. Under the light, it sparkles with golden light, making people feel relaxed and happy and whetting their appetite.
Zhao Dongqiang raised his cup first and laughed: "Today, the six of us brothers have a cup with our master. May our master be blessed with great fortune."
Zhao Dongqiang suddenly felt that his toast was similar to what he said when he celebrated his grandfather's birthday last month. He touched the back of his head and felt that he had said it wrong.
Ye Feng and Lu Qingqing were both amused by what he said. This guy is good at playing basketball, but his IQ is really worrying.
Ah Song added cleverly with a smile: "I wish Master to always be as powerful as a tiger, and I also wish Master to always be young and beautiful."
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.
