happy life rebirth

"What's important? Is it too late to fix it?" Chen Ge asked anxiously.

Hu Rui collected himself and said, "There's still time, luckily!"

"What the hell is it? You only say half a word, making people anxious." Chen Ge was very dissatisfied.

Hu Rui turned to look at him, "My grandpa's birthday is coming up, this time it's his 59th birthday, last year I thought about giving him a big deal this year, but I was overwhelmed by so many things, I almost forgot."

Hearing this, Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost not intimidated by this kid, and quickly said, "Then what do you want to do? Let me help too. I'm also the grandson of my grandfather."

"Of course." Hu Rui said pretentiously.

"Since this is the case, let's think about what to do together. My original plan was to go out and set up a few tables, and invite the neighbors to have a meal. For a birthday, there must be a lot of people to be lively."

"Well, guests must be invited. The key is what gift we want to give grandpa. It should be commemorative and not too exaggerated." Chen Ge said.

"Well, you're right. I didn't even think about giving a gift to grandpa. Alas, I just gave it to grandma. I forgot grandpa. I hope grandpa has a lot. Forgive my mistake!" Putting his hands together and bowing to the family, Chen Ge was very happy.

"There is no grandpa here, who are you showing this to?"

"I'll show you, and then you go tell grandpa!"

Well, Chen Ge was used as a sounding board again. Fortunately, Chen Ge was used to being bullied by Hu Rui, so he didn't feel anything wrong.Alas, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is nothing to do except bless Chen Ge.

Of course, Hu Rui's words were just joking, before grandpa's birthday, he wanted to keep it a secret, and wait until his birthday to give grandpa the biggest surprise!

When they got home, they stopped reviewing their homework, and simply took a pen and paper to plan grandpa's birthday banquet together.

Hu Rui watched a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies in his previous life. There were scenes of birthday banquets for Hong Kong people. He thought it was good and wanted to use it, so he told Chen Ge about the general situation. Chen Ge asked carefully. , and then drew and wrote on paper, and finally took out a final draft, and said to Hu Rui: "In this way, let me summarize, what we have to do is: set up a hotel for banquets, and then arrange it ourselves, according to You said, I drew a picture, you can take a look, right?"

After speaking, he handed over the painting to Hu Rui. Hu Rui took it over and looked at it. Although the painting was very crude, and some places were directly replaced with lines, but the main ones were all drawn, which was no different from what he said, so He said with admiration: "Chen Ge, I never thought that apart from your good memory, your painting has also become better."

Chen Ge said solemnly: "Yes, I also want to practice drawing road maps in the barracks!"

What does this have to do with it? The road map and the birthday banquet map have nothing to do with Feng Ma Niu, okay?Hu Rui was really powerless to complain about Chen Ge. He knew that if he was honest with Chen Ge, there would be no benefit to him other than to suppress his own fun.

Hu Rui sternly said to Chen Ge: "I plan to book the best restaurant in City H. Grandpa's 59th birthday is only once. I want him to be happy!"

Chen Ge thought for a while and said: "Let's not do it, we still have to invite neighbors, if we book the best hotel, it is inevitable that someone will ask you where the money came from, and then you should tell or not. Besides, it’s not a matter of scarcity but of inequality. What do other people think when they know that their family is so rich? There are people with pink eye disease. Moreover, the food in the best restaurant is not necessarily delicious, and grandpa probably doesn’t want to be too extravagant and wasteful. , the most important thing is that the food should be delicious, the portion should be large, and everyone should be happy to eat, this is the most important thing.”

Hu Rui pouted, feeling a little unhappy. He actually wanted this birthday banquet to wash away the bad luck of his family. He felt that his family was particularly bad this year. Grandma fell ill after the Spring Festival, and then his mother came to find him again. Well, bad things happen one after another, and some actions are needed to wash away the bad luck. This birthday banquet is the best celebration.

Then he thought about it, and Chen Ge was quite right. His family declared that the house was not his, and it was also to prevent the neighbors from being suspicious. After all, there are only two elders and one young in their family, and the salaries of the two elders are dead wages. No one would believe that Hu Rui earned all the money, even though it was the truth.In order to avoid trouble, let's continue like this, everything should be low-key, and it is best to make a fortune in silence.

So he said to Chen Ge: "Well, you are right, let's choose a place that everyone likes to eat, and we still have to set up a birthday banquet. Who doesn't have a few tables for their birthday?"

Chen Ge saw that he had figured it out, and said happily: "Yes, anyway, there is still a month left, so we will go for more runs to see which ones are better, and the choice of this place still requires a lot of consideration."

"What consideration?" Hu Rui didn't understand again, so why not just choose something that everyone likes to eat?What else to consider?

Seeing his star-studded appearance, Chen Ge hated iron for being weak. This man, who is extremely sensitive in doing business, has become so dull in this kind of thing!

"Of course, there are many things to consider, such as price, whether the food is delicious, whether the quantity is large, whether the transportation is convenient, whether there is a bus, etc. My suggestion is that it is best to be nearby, have a good reputation, and a large place The restaurant, so that the neighbors in the neighborhood can walk there without taking a car. As for whether the food is good or not, we have to go out and taste it by ourselves. gone."

Hu Rui looked at Chen Ge with admiring eyes, "You are really a three-day farewell, which is impressive. Tell me, what did you learn in the military camp? It made you improve so much all at once!"

Chen Ge blushed, "What is advancing by leaps and bounds, are you praising me or belittling me?"

"Of course I praised you, but you can't even hear it?"

"Can't hear it!"

Hu Rui was so angry that he turned his head and ignored him.

Seeing his childlike appearance, Chen Ge secretly smiled, not daring to laugh too loud for fear of being discovered by Hu Rui.

He laughed enough, straightened his face, and said, "Hu Rui, turn your head quickly, we still need to continue discussing."

"Hmph!" Hu Rui turned his head and continued to discuss after stepping down.

Chen Ge said: "There are three restaurants on the road we go to school, two fast food restaurants, directly rejected, and one, we can try the taste first, and then there are five restaurants on the street that turns the corner, all You can have a banquet, the place is big, and it seems that word of mouth is fine too, so let's try it too."

Hu Rui took notes, "Then choose one of the six families?"

"Well, and if you don't like their menu, you can still bring vegetables to process. Last time my mother took me to a wedding banquet, the crabs on the banquet were bought by the newcomers themselves, and they were taken to the restaurant for them to process."

"That's good." Hu Rui was overjoyed. In his previous life, he was used to restaurants not being able to bring outside food, even bringing a bottle of wine to the restaurant to charge a corkage fee, so he never thought that he could bring his own food to process while serving wine.

"Well, let's go and try these six restaurants first. Choose the one that tastes the best. I have seen that the decoration of the six restaurants is similar, the venues are also about the same size, and they all have private rooms. The need for a banquet.

"Then let's go to eat at noon tomorrow, and change to another one a day, and we can try all the food this week."

"Grandpa and grandma prepared bento for us at noon!" Chen Ge poured cold water on him.

Hu Rui shook his hand indifferently, "It's okay, I'll tell grandpa later that we're going to train outside at noon this week, so we don't need to bring meals!"

"You are lying!"

"I am deceiving in good faith, not deceiving people!" Hu Rui said straightforwardly, without a trace of embarrassment in it.

Chen Ge shook his head dotingly, he couldn't laugh or cry, he understood that Hu Rui had become a child again, so it's best for him not to argue with Hu Rui now.

In the next few days, Chen Ge and Hu Rui tried the dishes of six restaurants. They felt that the two were more delicious, and they were hesitant to choose which one to choose. Hu Rui suggested to eat again, ordering the same dishes this time, No longer order signature dishes, choose whichever one is delicious.

So they went to these two restaurants again, and after ordering the same dishes, the two finally decided the winner. One of them, the restaurant called Deyilou, had better food, while the other restaurant was slightly inferior. Hu Rui and the others booked the Deyi Building for the birthday banquet and paid the deposit. Hu Rui reserved three tables, and there happened to be a big box to sit in. Hu Rui was also quite satisfied with this. He had attended a wedding banquet in his previous life. As a result, several couples held a wedding banquet together, all in the same hall, and a screen was used to block it. Then the host's speeches continued one after another, and the atmosphere was lost at all. He didn't want grandpa's birthday banquet to become like this.

The venue was booked and the menu was also ordered, but Hu Rui was not very satisfied with the menu, because what Deyilou brought out was the standard menu for general banquets, that is, which dishes had been ordered by their restaurant and could not be changed. Hu Rui looked at it several times. None of the dishes were very good, and they were suspected of filling in the number, so they directly rejected it. The staff of the restaurant said no at first, which angered Hu Rui directly, and immediately said: "Then don't order according to the banquet, just eat according to the order Sure." The staff was taken aback, and quickly said: "This is too expensive, our menu is equal to the wholesale price, if you want to order by yourself, it is too expensive, the difference is not 01:30. "

Hu Rui said coldly: "I am not satisfied with your banquet menu, and you refuse to change it, so I can only order."

"It's not that I don't want to change it. I can't change it. If I change it, I have to check the price again, and I have to report it to the price bureau for approval. It's very troublesome." The staff said honestly that the price bureau is still dominant now. It must also be approved by the Price Bureau before it can be sold.

"So, I ordered the food myself, don't change it, I speak Chinese, not a foreign language." Hu Rui said.

"But you have three tables. It's much cheaper to use this menu for three tables. If you order food, it will cost an extra 300 yuan for three tables. You don't need it to save money." The staff said aggrievedly.

"Thank you, but you don't need to save, some dishes are not eaten in my family, so I can't order them with the menu in your hand."

"Oh, that's fine, then you can order your favorite dishes." The staff was frustrated, and his idea of ​​saving customers money was not echoed.

Seeing the staff's attitude, Hu Rui felt that this person was really serious, so he continued: "We want to bring some seafood by ourselves, can you process it for us?"

The staff regained their energy and said loudly: "Of course, I only charge you three tables at 50 yuan."

Hu Rui nodded in satisfaction, "Well, okay. Then I'll order the menu in a few days." He still has to go back and ask his grandfather what the dishes were like when he held a banquet before, so he can't make mistakes.

"Well, welcome anytime!" The staff member said with a smile.

"Sir, what's your surname?" Hu Rui suddenly wanted to ask this person's surname. He has never been immune to serious people. Asking someone's surname is also a sign of respect for others. That person was extremely serious before and after running. .

"Oh, I, my surname is Wei, just call me Xiao Wei." The staff said a little shyly, now people don't like to ask people's surnames, and when they go to restaurants, they just say comrades, regardless of men and women.

Hu Rui really can't say the word Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei looks like 26 or 7, he is only 16, so he can't take advantage of Xiao Wei, so he said: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wei, then we See you in a few days." After speaking, he waved his hand to signal goodbye, and walked out with Chen Ge.

After the venue is booked, it is time to arrange the venue. Hu Rui and Chen Ge went to the stationery market at noon one day, bought a lot of red paper, and came back with gold paper. Now there is no place for the golden birthday characters that are directly made Hu Rui had no choice but to do it himself.

It's just that I still haven't figured out what to give as a gift for grandpa. Jewelry is definitely not acceptable. Now there are no men who wear jewelry, and those who wear jewelry are all hooligans.Grandpa has never liked anything in particular, so Hu Rui was so anxious that he didn't sleep well for several nights. Finally, one day, he thought of what to give grandpa.
