Chapter 497: dinner

Views:

Qi Jingyi said she would treat the two of them to dinner, and Li Jianbo helped drive. Qi Jingyi originally asked Li Wei to sit in the passenger seat, but Li Wei insisted on sitting in the back seat with Qi Jingyi.

Beihai has developed very well in the past two years, and the tourism market has completely opened up. Beihai at night has a more romantic temperament than during the day.

Qi Jingyi asked Li Jianbo to stop in front of a German restaurant. Qi Jingyi said: "This restaurant tastes good, but I don't know if you can get used to German food."

Li Jianbo and Li Wei are actually not picky eaters. Qi Jingyi has been to this restaurant several times, so when she appeared, the lobby manager rushed up to her and greeted Qi Jingyi with a smile: "Miss Qi is so beautiful today. ”

Qi Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, there are three of us, thank you!"

The three of them found a seat and sat down. Qi Jingyi ordered a steak, frankfurter sausage, German barbecue, vegetable salad, black bread, and vegetable soup.

When the dishes are served one after another, they look pretty good from the looks of them and can whet your appetite. Li Wei had never had much contact with German food before. Among the Western food, he ate the most British food, and then he ate Spanish food and French food several times.

Naturally, Qi Jingyi also ordered a drink. This time she did not choose Germany's famous beer, but ordered a bottle of red wine. Qi Jingyi also poured wine into the cup in front of Li Jianbo. Li Jianbo waved his hand and said: "I have to drive later, forget about the wine." ”

Qi Jingyi smiled and said: "What's the matter? Their restaurant also provides driver service. It's rare for the three of us to get together, so we have to have two drinks anyway. Come, this meal is just like me taking care of you."

The three tall wine glasses touched together gently. Under the light, the red liquid in the glasses became even more dazzling.

German cuisine is heavy on fat, and they like to add a lot of spices when cooking. They also like to use various sauerkraut for seasoning, which has a particularly strong salty and sour taste. Li Wei is actually not used to the taste of mustard. Facing such a table of delicious food, she doesn't use her knife and fork much.

I swam and took a hot shower. When I relaxed, my body felt tired quietly. This body is useless. Even after swimming for half an hour, I feel very tired. I don't have as much physical strength as before.

When Qi Jingyi saw that Li Wei didn't eat much, she already guessed that the food might not be to her liking. She couldn't help but feel that her decision tonight was a failure. If she had known this, she wouldn't have invited them to eat German food.

Li Jianbo was not picky and would eat whatever was given to him. He could swallow even the most unpalatable food without frowning, so he quickly filled his stomach. Qi Jingyi's appetite was actually not very good. After the dinner, Qi Jingyi paid the money and the three of them came out.

This street was newly built last year. There were countless bars, large and small, on the street. Qi Jingyi took them into a bar.

As soon as she sat down, she ordered a shrimp pizza and said she wanted to eat it with Li Wei.

"We've just had dinner. I'm sure I can't eat pizza or anything, so I'd better not order it." Li Wei suggested.

"I wasn't full just now, and you didn't eat much either. A 7-inch portion is enough."

The atmosphere in the bar is naturally thicker. There is a resident band and singers here, and occasionally guests come up to perform, sing or dance.

Qi Jingyi regarded dance as her life. In her heart, she could no longer dance. Perhaps she had already given up on dancing. Therefore, when she saw some good performances, she would be particularly excited and would give warm applause.

Qi Jingyi's change made both Li Jianbo and Li Wei happy, and the haze was finally over.

"If I were only in my twenties, I would go up and dance, become the center of attention, and make them crazy about me and applaud me." Qi Jingyi has a strong desire to perform.

Li smiled and said: "Sometimes it's nice to be an audience."

Qi Jingyi sat next to Li Wei and whispered to her: "I heard that you have encountered setbacks, but no matter how big a setback is, it is not more important than living. You have to look forward, you have a long life."

Li Wei nodded and said: "Yes, I will not give up easily. After some time, I will stand up bravely again."

Qi Jingyi smiled and said: "This is the right way, she is the strong and brave girl I like."

Qi Jingyi ordered a lot of wine as usual, and both Li Jianbo and Li Wei were in trouble. Li Jianbo said: "Auntie, you deliberately wanted to get us two drunk."

Qi Jingyi said: "Whether I can get you drunk depends on whether I have the ability. Besides, if you come to the bar instead of drinking, do you come here to drink milk? Do you understand this is called doing as the Romans do?"

Qi Jingyi asked the waiter to open all the drinks she ordered, and then her skill in persuading them to drink was top-notch, pouring one glass after another into their glasses.

Li Wei really doesn't drink well, let alone having already drank once in that German restaurant, so when he got here he felt dizzy after just the second drink and refused to drink again.

Li Jianbo thought that Li Wei was recovering from a serious illness and was not suitable for such trouble, so he told Qi Jingyi: "Auntie, don't force her to drink. She is not suitable for drinking so much wine."

"It seems that my nephew is quite good at hurting others. Okay, just stop if you say so."

Li Wei leaned on the sofa to rest for a while, and drank some water to slowly recover.

Qi Jingyi held her chin in her hand and smiled at her lovely nephew: "Jianbo, I heard that you can play the violin and the guitar is also good. Do you have the guts to show your skills in this bar today to open our eyes?"

Li Jianbo is a low-key person. He waved his hand and said: "No, no, there are so many people watching. There are also professionals here. If I go up there, won't I just be a master of others' skills?"

Qi Jingyi sneered and continued: "You look like an adult. I didn't expect you to be so timid."

Li Jianbo had no desire to perform, so he went to drink, but Qi Jingyi held down his glass, leaned over, and whispered a few words in Jianbo's ear. Li Jianbo suddenly stood up and glanced at Li Wei. Li Wei was a little confused and wondered what was going on.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw Li Jianbo walking towards the stage.

He exchanged a few words with the guitarist, and the guitarist happily gave the guitar in his hand to Li Jianbo.

Li Wei was dumbfounded and asked in surprise: "Sister Qi, what on earth did you and your second brother say?"

Qi Jingyi playfully winked at Li Wei and said, "This is a secret. Just enjoy his performance."

But Li Jianbo walked to the center of the stage with his guitar and stood still in front of the microphone. He looked calm and calm.

Li Jianbo said: "Good evening, distinguished guests, I take the liberty of interrupting your enjoyment. Today I would like to use this stage to present a song to a girl sitting in the audience, which is also the most sincere blessing in my heart."

Naturally, the audience burst into applause, and Li Wei also applauded. What on earth is the second brother going to do
