On a cold winter night, the alley where Lao Liu’s BBQ is located is dilapidated and deserted, but waves of customers come to the door, which shows its reputation, and the sound of exhaustion is faintly heard in the distance, brightly lit, it is another world, Naixiu City The famous bar street is only three alleys away, which is completely different from here.
When he was a sophomore in high school, at the desk in front of Lou Cheng was a dude who had given up on the college entrance examination. From time to time, he would mention Bar Street in front of him, and talk about bringing people out of the bar. When I come here, I only eat a barbecue, and I will never take a detour. I always feel that the law and order near the bar and dance hall must be very bad. It is better to stay far away if nothing happens.
Listening to the singing wafting in the air, and smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Lou Cheng was so hungry that his hand was almost sticking out of his throat. The more he drank the mineral water, the hungrier he became.
"Hey, Fatty Jiang, is the class reunion settled yet?" He tried his best to return his attention to chatting.
Jiang Fei took a sip of herbal tea, tapped it and said: "It's too sweet, it's not the same as what I drink in Guangnan, uh, the party is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, climb Xiushan, take Jiudaoguai, and go to Chunjingping Meeting Villa .”
"Chunjingping Meeting Villa? Made it so tall?" Lou Cheng was taken aback.
Jiang Fei laughed and said: "You don't understand again? It's almost Chinese New Year, there's not much going on there, the price is very low, not much more expensive than going to a farmhouse, two hundred yuan per person is enough, you can play table tennis, badminton, Tennis, basketball, free KTV, mahjong room, chess and card room, if you don’t want to play these, just go out to climb a mountain, exercise, breathe fresh air, everyone is happy, what to do, love to open a room, hehe, nearby It’s a hot spring hotel, if you want to soak, just spend some money.”
"To me, none of these are attractive. It's better for everyone to sit around and chat together, recall embarrassing things, and share college experiences." Lou Cheng picked up the tissue next to him and blew his nose.
"Bah! Putting on airs, I remember that you liked to sing karaoke very much. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, a certain person had been a MC bully a few times!" Jiang Fei mercilessly exposed Lou Cheng's lie.
Lou Cheng laughed dryly and changed the subject: "How many people are here this time?"
"There are only a few who are not in Xiushan, and the others have agreed. Haha, I don't know if there are any couples in the class. How many single dogs have found a partner?" Jiang Fei said enthusiastically, He didn't care at all that he was an authentic single dog for eighteen years.
For Fat Jiang, Lou Cheng admired him the most. He has a good personality, is not stingy, can take jokes, and is not afraid of saying wrong things in front of him.
When I was obsessed with being a detective, I always wondered if he was only superficially open-minded, and all my anger was stuffed in my heart. Sooner or later, he would be completely distorted and become a cold-blooded killer. I asked Fatty Jiang about his mental journey and found that he was pure and innocent. It's a big forgetfulness, turning around and forgetting about the angry things just now, living an enviable life.
Lou Cheng coughed a few times: "Which teachers did you hire?"
"Only Lao Wu and Teacher Xin, the others are either not available or dare not invite them, such as Lao Li." Jiang Fei said with a smile.
Lao Li is the math teacher that Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke complained about. As the director of the Academic Affairs Office, he still scares the students. One teaches chemistry.
"Haha, Lao Wu is a fan of martial arts. Every time he comes to patrol the class between classes, he always chats with us about martial arts." Lou Cheng was very happy to see this senior class teacher.
At this time, the service girl brought over the first batch of easy-to-grill meat skewers, and sprinkled some chopped green onions on them.
Lou Cheng held back his hunger, picked up his phone first, and snapped a photo, but didn't send it to Yan Zheke immediately, but planned to show it off when the main event came.
"Is the lighting over?" Jiang Pang asked with a smile.
"Okay, eat!" Lou Cheng was not polite, and took a bunch of pork belly.
Lao Liu’s grilled meat skewers are all marinated with secret seasonings in advance. The aroma enters the nose, which is indescribably tempting. Lou Cheng finished eating a skewer in two or three mouthfuls. The taste makes people miss the taste that makes people hungry at midnight.
He loves skewers with part of the fat meat most, so that they won’t be dry when roasted. The meat fat is forced out by the flames, sizzles, and has a strong aroma. It doesn’t taste too greasy and melts in the mouth. , the mouth is full of oily fragrance, so delicious that I can't stop my mouth.
After eating more than a dozen skewers in a row, Lou Cheng relieved his hunger a little, and chatted when he had time to chat with Jiang Fei about the interesting things about their respective schools, gossip and gossip about their high school classmates.
After the first batch was finished, the second batch, which was more difficult to bake, just arrived, including chicken wings, chicken tips, ribs, etc., and the signature grilled eggplant was also arranged on two iron plates.
The grilled eggplant here is completely different from other places, and it is even more different from Songcheng Yanling and other places. It is not supplemented with garlic and other things, but after the roasting, there is a special process of frying the ingredients. Stir-fried secret seasoning and crispy peas in oil, poured on the roasted eggplant, penetrated from the inside to the outside, and melted with the roasted tomato sauce. It has a fishy smell and the taste of the eggplant itself, which is amazing Absolutely, can not forget.
In Lou Cheng's mind, it is the emperor of the barbecue world, better than meat, and Yan Zheke is in the south of the Yangtze River, so he never forgets it.
And those who like to drink a little wine, love the crispy peas in the ingredients even more. Put one in and chew for a while, it is enough to drink.
Seeing the main event coming up, Lou Cheng picked up his phone again, adjusted the background color, and took a picture that was very appetizing, and sent it to Yan Zheke together with the previous photo.
"It's so satisfying!" He deliberately showed off.
Yan Zheke replied immediately, sending a dog-throwing emoji:
"The friendship puppy is dead!"
The corners of his mouth curled up, a smile appeared unconsciously, and Lou Cheng snapped back.
Jiang Fei picked up a piece of eggplant meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "Cheng Zi, you are so passionate, if you catch up, you should introduce us to each other, let's see where the beauties are fascinated by you." .”
In fact, you know each other, and you were emotional just now... Lou Cheng complained silently, put down the phone, picked up the eggplant meat, dipped it in some juice, and said, "Okay, if it succeeds."
The chopsticks were inserted into his mouth, and the smell that he had always missed burst out, which moved him for a while, and he immediately dropped his chopsticks like flying.
Jiang Fei picked up the herbal tea and said with a smile: "Then I wish you success. At that time, if I have a goal, I have to ask you for experience. By the way, sister-in-law, do you have any girlfriends or friends? Remember me, brother!"
Sister-in-law, that's a good name! Lou Cheng praised secretly, thought for a while, and joked:
"You lose weight first..."
Jiang Fei rolled his eyes at him, and asked gossipingly, "How do you know each other? From your college class?"
"No, no, we are all in Songda Martial Arts Club." Lou Cheng told the truth, but not all the truth.
I really want to mention the first acquaintance, it was when you took me to the third class to see beauties!
Before he actually caught up with Yan Zheke, he didn't plan to tell Jiang Pang and the others that they were all high school classmates and knew each other. If they spread the word and failed miserably, it would be embarrassing!
And I believe that Yan Zheke will not like to gossip.
"Damn it, that's why you insist on practicing martial arts!" Jiang Fei suddenly realized, as if he had solved the doubts that he didn't dare to ask just now, "You don't want to look like a man, Chengzi, I never thought you would pay such a high price for not being single. !"
The two chatted and laughed, ate eggplant and gnawed on the chicken wings, and at the end, the grilled fish was served. The cooking method was similar to that of grilled eggplant, but for some reason, it was still not as good as it was, and could not shake the status of grilled eggplant in Lou Cheng's heart.
After eating these, Jiang Fei was dumbfounded by Lou Cheng's food intake, and said with some fear, "Chengzi, if I exercise with you, will I become so edible? How can I lose weight!"
"Do you think I've gained weight?" Lou Cheng took out his wallet and asked to pay the bill.
After this meal, he felt that he was completely alive, his cold symptoms were relieved, and his body was full of strength again.
Jiang Fei took a closer look: "No."
"Isn't this the end? There's nothing to be afraid of!" Lou Cheng expressed confidence.
Seeing the boss coming, Jiang Fei also took out his wallet: "Hey, Chengzi, I'll come and I'll clean up the dust for you, how can you give me the money?"
"Hey, I recently participated in a martial arts competition and earned some extra money, so don't compete with me." Lou Cheng said flauntingly.
Jiang Fei looked at him in astonishment: "You made money from martial arts competitions? Orange, how long have you been practicing martial arts? I understand, you must be bullying elementary school students!"
"Get lost!" Lou Cheng said succinctly. He paid for the barbecue, which was less than five hundred in total. Although the portion of each skewer was not as good as other places, or even a little bit worse, it was quite a bargain.
Jiang Fei saw that Lou Cheng was really rich and powerful, so he didn't rush to pay. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's go for a walk around, digest and digest, tsk, Xiushan's things are cheap, in Guangnan, there are so many skewers , and grilled fish, more than four hundred is enough?"
Lou Cheng nodded, and asked solemnly when the boss would open the door after the Chinese New Year—Lao Liu's barbecue will be on holiday the day after tomorrow.
After receiving the news of the opening on the eighth day of the lunar new year, he stuffed his hands in his pockets with satisfaction. He had already ordered a small vacuum machine and an insulated lunch box, and he was waiting for the arrival of the goods after the year!
Being rich feels different!
As the cold wind howled, the two walked in the alley, continued to chat about various things, pressed the road to eat, and subconsciously avoided the road to the bar street, and walked in the opposite direction.
Turning around an alley, the front belongs to the back street, the street lights are out, and it is dark, only the lights of the surrounding people seep through the windows, faintly.
"Turn back, who knows what will be stepped on in the dark." Jiang Fei pulled up the down jacket.
Just as Lou Cheng was about to answer, he suddenly saw a few figures jumping out in front of him, one was running away desperately, and the three were chasing after with machetes that reflected a little light, causing a burst of chaotic footsteps in the cold and dark alley.
"Damn it, the underworld will kill people! Let's avoid it, don't provoke it." Jiang Fei shivered in fright.
Lou Cheng didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately pulled Jiang Fei back and leaned to the side. At this moment, the fleeing person entered a section of the area where light penetrated and illuminated the surrounding area.
Wang Xu!
It's Wang Xu!
The man who was hunted down was Wang Xu!
Lou Cheng's senses are sharp now, his eyes are very sharp, and he immediately recognized the desperate runner with knife wounds and bleeding blood as his own little Wang Xu, whom he met in the community before dinner!
