Chapter 300 Putting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish

Bai Lao's spirit is very good, and he is also very talkative. Although Shi Lei and him are only dealing with each other for the first time, they don't feel cramped at all.

When it was getting dark, Chen Ya'v went down and ordered the refreshments to be withdrawn, and the meal was quickly prepared.

It's really a common meal, it's all common dishes of ordinary people, shredded pork with green pepper, scrambled eggs with tomato, no alcohol, just eating.

The talkative Bai Lao didn't say a word when he was eating, he probably followed the ancients saying that he should eat without talking and sleep without talking. Shi Lei also rarely eats a home-cooked meal, but it tastes delicious, and he thinks that Bai Lao's food tastes special The rice is also very fragrant, and I ate three bowls without paying attention.

There were almost no leftovers on the plate, and Shi Lei poured the tomato scrambled egg soup on the rice and ate it.

Bai Lao didn't eat much, he only tasted everything, and only ate half a bowl of rice, after eating, he smiled and watched Shi Lei eat with great mouthfuls, as if he was very happy.

Seeing that Shi Lei finally cleaned up the last order juice, Bai Lao waved his hand to have the table cleared up, and replaced it with freshly brewed tea.

Wei Xingyue looked at Shi Lei with some contempt, and said, "You haven't eaten for a few days? You even ate the soup."

Shi Lei laughed and said: "I don't know why, but I think the food here is very delicious, so I couldn't help but eat more."

Bai Lao laughed, and said: "It's nothing special, but the food here is all grown by myself. I opened a small field in the mountains, and I planted some of every kind of food, and rice too. I grow it myself. So it has a little more flavor than the vegetables bought in the vegetable market.”

The corners of Shi Lei's eyes twitched, and he silently calculated the score.

What Bai Lao said is simple, but it is quite a huge project to grow a little of every vegetable, even if it is only for Bai Lao's family. The food is like this, not to mention the meat, they must also raise pigs and cattle by themselves, and I am afraid that at least ten people will be needed to serve them. The food may look inconspicuous, but the labor involved in it must be at least hundreds of thousands or even millions a year.

"This is the life of the rich. It seems to be commonplace, but in fact, just hiring people costs far more than ordinary people. Bai Lao, you may have spent hundreds of dollars on these alone this year." Wan?"

Wei Xingyue glared at Shi Lei, thinking that a million dollars a year is nothing to Bai Lao? This guy is really showing cowardice, talking about money with Bai Lao here.

Bai Lao didn't think it was disobedient, on the contrary he laughed very happily and said, "I didn't ask the old man how much the exact amount is, but the small farm in the mountain has hired fifteen or six people to work. The salary should be given to them." More than 100,000 a year, there must be millions."

Shi Lei was speechless, and said again: "It is said to be a common meal, but in fact, this meal, if you calculate it carefully, it is several thousand."

Wei Xingyue couldn't help complaining: "You're enough, I'm a person who drives a car with millions of dollars, and I'm actually counting such a small amount of money with Bailao."

Old Bai laughed, waved his hands and said: "It's okay to do the calculations. I don't usually do the calculations. I always feel that it's just commonplace. I always teach my children and grandchildren not to spend extravagantly outside. Now little friend Shi Lei is helping me to do the calculations. It was only then that I realized that I might not be able to save much on meals compared to them. Haha, I won’t talk about them in the future!”

Wei Xingyue looked at Shi Lei with some surprise, Bai Lao's mood today was a bit too good, rolled his eyes, Wei Xingyue felt that it was necessary to help Shi Lei get some favors.

"Old Bai, you are very happy today!" Wei Xingyue said with a smile.

Old Bai chuckled, and said: "What's the matter, little friend Shi Lei gave me a painting, he hasn't said anything yet, you are worrying that my old man won't know how to thank him? Xiao Nizi has really grown up." Bai Lao had a deep meaning Except that Shi Lei didn't take it seriously, both Wei Xingyue and Chen Ya'er could hear the implication of Bai Lao's words, especially Chen Ya'er's eyes looking at Wei Xingyue also became somewhat connotative.

Wei Xingyue grabbed Chen Ya's arm, and coquettishly said, "Miss, look at Mr. Bai, how could he be so joking with the younger generation."

Mute Chen smiled and remained silent, and Lao Bai also smiled and remained silent.

After a while, Bai Lao looked at Shi Lei and said, "Little friend, as for me, old man, I have never owed anyone a favor in my life, so naturally I can't take your painting for nothing. Let's talk about it. If you want some What, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely not treat you badly."

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "Maybe that painting is very precious to Bai Lao, but it is of no use to me. If there is any benefit to Bai Lao, then it is better to sell it directly to Bai Lao from the beginning. "

Bai Lao was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really the case, now asking Shi Lei what reward he wanted was nothing more than equating with money. For someone else, maybe there is something in the heart, and you can exchange some collections with Bai Lao. But Shi Lei is young, and obviously has no knowledge about collecting, all he can ask for is money.

Frowning slightly, Bai Lao also felt a little embarrassed, he absolutely didn't want to owe Shi Lei anything because of this.

Seeing this, Wei Xingyue quickly said, "Old Bai, I have an idea."

Old Bai slowly raised his head, his smile was full of wisdom, and he said, "You little girl, what do you want for your little lover?"

These words were much more straightforward than before, Shi Lei was also taken aback when he heard the words, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Mr. Bai, don't get me wrong, Wei Xingyue and I are just ordinary friends."

Bai Lao looked at Wei Xingyue with deep meaning. Wei Xingyue glared at Shi Lei angrily and almost ran away.

"Let's talk about it and see if you have any good ideas." Bai Lao said again with a smile.

Wei Xingyue said with a straight face, "Don't talk about it, let him do whatever he wants."

Bai Lao laughed, shaking his head slowly, Shi Lei scratched his head in embarrassment, and just said: "I really don't need anything, in the future, Bai Lao, if you are free, just ask me to come to your place for a meal. Your food here is Really tasty."

Wei Xingyue rolled her eyes at Shi Lei, but thought in her heart, isn't this kid so stupid, he also knows how to put a long line to catch big fish.

Elder Bai looked at Shi Lei with great interest. On the one hand, he didn't think Shi Lei was too scheming, but Shi Lei's words seemed to mean that he wanted to establish a relationship with the Bai family and move around later.

At this moment, Dumb Chen pulled Bai Lao and made several gestures to him. Bai Lao was taken aback and asked, "Do you like him?"

Chen dumb girl nodded, smiled quietly, and made a few more gestures.

Bai Lao's eyes fell on Shi Lei, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Since you feel that you are destined to be with him, then it's up to you."

Shi Lei was confused, and asked Wei Xingyue: "What did Bai Lao and the female sister say?"

Wei Xingyue said angrily, "Don't ask me, we are just ordinary friends."

"Then what else could it be? Could it be that you still want to be with me...I have a girlfriend!"

"Go to hell!" Wei Xingyue cursed, but felt the need to explain, and said, "Is there still a big difference between a good friend and an ordinary friend?"

"Okay, okay, we are very good friends. The ordinary friends I just mentioned are just to distinguish what Bai Lao said. Why didn't you see that you are so narrow-minded before?"

Wei Xingyue rolled her eyes, she didn't want to talk to Shi Lei anymore.
