Chapter 500: I am also a valuable person (thanks to Ashi's unblocking)
After the old beggar came in, he had a naive smile on his face and reached out to grab something on the table.
After Li Miaomiao looked at it, she was so angry that she dropped her chopsticks on the table with a "pop!"
How else to eat this meal?
Fortunately, she had almost eaten before.
When she was asked to eat at the same table as an old beggar, Li Miaomiao really couldn't eat. Especially the old beggar's old hands looked dirty.
Zhao Xu told the lobby manager: "Manager Zhou, please give this old gentleman a pair of chopsticks."
Manager Zhou responded and brought a pair of chopsticks to the old beggar.
The old beggar started eating by himself as if no one was around.
"This dish is good. I like to eat their dishes. With such good food, it would be impossible without good wine!" After saying that, he opened a bottle of Wuliangye and turned to ask Zhao Xu: "Boy, would you like to take a few sips?"
"
Zhao Xu coughed a few times and said that he was infected with cold and could not drink alcohol!
The old beggar's eyes were small and his face was full of wrinkles. He smiled at Zhao Xu and said, "Boy, wine is the essence of food. The more you drink, the younger you become! It's not interesting for me to drink alone, so I'll give you a few drinks at the expense of my old man."
"Okay then!" Zhao Xu nodded.
Manager Zhou wisely brought two wine glasses.
He didn't understand why Zhao Xu was so nice to an old beggar.
Zhao Xu was about to pick up the wine bottle, but unexpectedly the old beggar grabbed Wuliangye's wine bottle and drank a few big gulps.
"What a wine!" The old beggar smacked his lips, looking like he was still unsatisfied.
Li Miaomiao was so angry that she pursed her lips and said in disgust: "Old beggar, you asked my brother-in-law to drink with you, but you grabbed the bottle and drank. Why did you ask my brother-in-law to drink with you?"
The old beggar smiled with a red face, "Wine is not dirty, but the human heart is dirty. If a person has a heart, he will naturally see everything as dirty. Boy, if you don't drink it, I'd better drink it myself."
"Since I promised to have a few drinks with the old gentleman, I naturally can't break my promise!"
Zhao Xu grabbed the wine bottle and filled a glass for himself, then filled another glass for the old beggar.
He raised his glass and said to the old beggar: "Old sir, I toast you this glass of wine!"
The old beggar rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Why do you respect me?"
"We are destined to meet each other, and we are even more destined to drink together! Let's have a drink for the chance to meet each other."
"Yeah! This reason is just so-so."
The old beggar raised his glass and touched it lightly with Zhao Xu. The two of them drank the wine in their glasses.
After the old beggar drank the wine, he looked at Zhao Xu and said, "You have a good face, boy! The heaven is full and you look like a rich man. Boy, thank you for inviting me to drink today."
"You're welcome! If the wine is not enough, the old gentleman can get a few bottles when he leaves."
"Don't take too much, don't take too much! There are times in your life that you must have, but there are times in your life that don't exist, so don't force it. I am an old beggar and I am already content!"
Zhao Xu didn't expect that this old beggar was quite principled in his work.
Lao Xu and the old beggar kept chatting, and quickly drank a bottle of Wuliangye wine.
The old beggar opened the last bottle of wine and said to Zhao Xu: "We will only drink half of this bottle of wine. I will keep the remaining half for myself."
"Old sir, if the wine is not enough, didn't I tell you, can you take a few more bottles with you?"
"No more, no more! Come, let's have another drink each, and that's it for today!" The old beggar let out a wine burp.
The smell of alcohol rushed directly in front of Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao frowned in disgust and said to the old beggar: "Old beggar, are you polite?"
The old beggar smiled and said, "If I had been polite, I wouldn't have fallen like this. Little girl! You are too arrogant and need to be polished. Otherwise, you will easily suffer in this society."
"Hmph! You can't take care of yourself, so you come to take care of me!"
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences in front of you!"
The old beggar poured Zhao Xu a glass of wine, poured it for himself, raised his glass and said, "Boy, I've had a good meal today. Thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, sir. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. Can you tell me a story about the past?"
"So what about the glory of the past? After all, it's just a fleeting thing. Boy, you have to cherish the present." As he said that, he patted Zhao Xu on the back.
The old beggar's hand was very strong, and Zhao Xu was slapped by him, causing another violent cough!
After seeing this, Li Miaomiao shouted at the old beggar: "Old beggar, my brother-in-law provides you with food and drinks. He is sick, why are you slapping him so hard?"
"His bones are too weak! I'll help him recuperate."
"Tch! I believe you as a ghost."
The old beggar directly picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank the wine in one gulp, grabbed the remaining half bottle of Wuliangye, and said to Zhao Xu: "Boy, we will see you later!"
Zhao Xu didn't expect that this old beggar would leave as soon as he asked, and he had quite a personality.
He stood up and said to the old beggar: "Old sir, walk slowly!"
The old beggar hummed a ditty with an unknown title: "The ground is your bed, the sky is your quilt, sleep wherever you like; eat and drink when you should, don't forget anything you want; when you are poor and miserable,
Having seen through the heat and coldness of the world, the kindness of one meal is unforgettable!"
Although the old beggar's song was not a popular risqué song, the tune sounded quite charming.
Li Miaomiao was fascinated by it. She didn't expect that the old beggar sang quite well.
"Brother-in-law, why do you want to be a good old man? Why are you so nice to an old beggar?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said to his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao: "He is no ordinary beggar."
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Li Miaomiao asked confused.
Zhao Xu said to his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao: "This man is deliberately pretending to be poor. He walks lightly and knows martial arts. If he is a real beggar, he will definitely show timidity in his eyes when he enters a big hotel like this. You
Judging from his clear eyes and lack of fear, this person is definitely not an ordinary person."
Although Zhao Xu could not determine the true identity of the old beggar, he noticed that the old beggar had martial arts skills from the moment he glanced at him from the window.
How could a person who knew martial arts be in such a state of desolation?
He didn't want to know what the reason was, but this man was definitely not an idle person, so he allowed the hotel lobby manager to meet the old beggar's various demands.
After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, Li Miaomiao said thoughtfully: "Why didn't I see it?"
Zhao Xu poked his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao on the forehead with his finger and said to her: "What can you tell, you only know how to eat!"
"Oh, brother-in-law! Why are you talking about me like that? It's like I'm worthless."
"Isn't it?" Zhao Xu smiled.
