Luoxing Lake is a high-end residential area, there are no places to eat, only a few western restaurants and coffee shops.
The two took a taxi and went to a nearby shopping mall.
But this mall closes very early, cleared at 9:30, and the restaurant basically stops accepting new customers from 8:00 to 8:30.
After turning around, the two of them felt even hungrier.
Although hunger does not make people see and hear, it seems to make the elm's head work very fast.
Lu Xingyan suddenly turned his head and said to Shen Xingruo, "Are you sure you can eat spicy food?"
"able."
"There is a famous fly restaurant near here. They eat frog fish hot pot. They are open until two o'clock in the morning, but it is quite spicy." He paused, "Also, the environment is not very good."
Shen Xingruo: "Then let's go."
"Are you sure? The Fly Restaurant is broken and small, and the tables are made of improvised small boards, and the pots are more...retro."
Lu Xingyan looked at Shen Xingruo suspiciously.
"It's not dirty, it's fine if you eat it." Shen Xingruo turned to look at him with straight and open eyes, "Do you have a cleanliness habit?"
No, this young lady even grabbed the lines.
Lu Xingyan nodded, "Okay, let's go then."
So, the two young masters and ladies who looked like severe cleanliness patients left the mall, walked through one street and three alleys and finally walked into a dilapidated small courtyard.
The nine twists and eighteen bends of the Fly House hide extremely deeply without revealing any traces. If it weren't for the trust in Pei Yue and Lu Shan, Shen Xingruo could reasonably suspect that Lu Xingyan was going to kidnap and sell her.
Standing outside the courtyard, Shen Xingruo could faintly smell a fresh fragrance.
The courtyard was very lively, with more than a dozen small tables open in the open air, and the inside of the house was also full. There were young men and women coming to eat, as well as middle-aged men with beer bellies, and there were even two old grandpas sitting at one table.
Everyone ate enthusiastically and chatted enthusiastically. The Xingcheng dialect and plastic Mandarin were intertwined, giving off a friendly atmosphere of human fireworks.
Business was booming in the store, and the two stood and waited for twenty minutes before they got their seats.
Considering that Shen Xingruo might be pretending to be forceful, Lu Xingyan leniently ordered a slightly spicy dish, and ordered a mother-of-pearl pot with clear soup in the middle.
He ordered 30 frogs, a pangasius fillet, and meat dishes such as fat beef rolls and shrimp slippery.
Shen Xingruo didn't have any idea about the amount of vegetables, but he felt that there was a little too much, so he only added two servings of vegetables.
The waiter came over to take a look, and said in surprise: "Handsome guy, thirty frogs are too many, you two can eat fifteen."
Lu Xingyan felt that he was so hungry that he could eat a cow, and said blankly, "I think I can eat thirty cows by myself."
"..."
The money delivered to the door was not earned for nothing, and the waiter didn't say anything more, just ordered for them and left.
Shen Xingruo has never felt that eating a meal is so hard.
After waiting for an hour for takeaway to no avail, going to the mall restaurant to close, walking for a quarter of an hour and queuing for 20 minutes—
They waited for another half an hour before the hot pot was served.
It was ten o'clock in the evening.
Both of them were so hungry that they didn't have the strength to chat politely, and they started to eat when the food was on the table.
Since Lu Xingyan ordered too many frogs and couldn't fit in the hot pot, the waiter put the rest on an iron plate and asked them to add it after eating.
The frogs in this restaurant are huge, and a small trolley was already filled with messy dishes, and a large plate of frogs was piled up on the table, which was very eye-catching.
The two seemed to have a concrete idea of the thirty frogs only after this meeting.
After eating for a while, Lu Xingyan felt that he had returned to the world and had the strength to speak.
"What do you think?" he asked.
When he asked, he also observed Shen Xingruo's expression, seeing that she was neither sweating nor drinking water because of the heat, he finally believed that she was a person who could eat chili.
Shen Xingruo looked up after swallowing a piece of potato and replied, "Does it taste? It's pretty good."
It's just that she has some doubts. Is this restaurant intentionally for people to smell the fragrance but not eat it? It makes people starve to death before serving food, so that people feel that everything they eat is delicious.
If this is the case, then this kind of alternative hunger marketing is also very ingenious.
She picked up a piece of shrimp slippery.
It's slightly spicy, but it's not very spicy. She dipped the chili powder in the dry dish, and then dipped in the seasoning she added with millet chili and various chili sauces.
When Lu Xingyan saw her eating a piece of shrimp slippery without changing his face, his chopsticks stopped.
"You can eat spicy food that much?"
"A little bit."
This is not a little bit of fucking, Missy.
Shen Xingruo explained a little more, "I said, I can do anything. Auntie Pei may think that I eat lightly, but in fact my taste is a bit heavier."
This young lady is really upright, she can do it if she says she can, she really believed in his mother's evil.
Shen Xingruo was already half full, so he slowed down and asked while eating: "By the way, how do you know about this restaurant?"
"I've been here twice with my friends."
Lu Xingyan didn't like spinach. When he was talking, he picked up all the spinach cooked by Shen Xingruo, put it on a plate, and pushed it to the opposite side.
He said it lightly, but the actual experience is not so simple.
Once upon a time, Lu Xingyan was also a hypocritical king who had to wipe the chairs three times when he sat down. When he first came to this store, he felt that the air was so greasy that it was suffocating.
It was Xu Chengzhou who cleaned the table and chairs for him himself, and then raised three fingers to swear that the taste must be amazing. In addition, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he reluctantly sat down.
Then, naturally, it is a large-scale real fragrance scene.
The two chatted, and Lu Xingyan felt that the atmosphere was okay, so he brought up the old matter again, "My mother said that I will go to Huize tomorrow afternoon, but you really don't want to go? Then you stay at home alone, and no one cooks."
"No." Shen Xingruo didn't even raise his head, "I'll go back to school early tomorrow afternoon."
"I… "
Shen Xingruo suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at the hot pot.
Lu Xingyan paused.
He felt that if he said one more word, Shen Xingruo might take the pot of hot pot and throw it on him.
Splashing water can be done, and splashing hot pot is not impossible.
Lu Xingyan nodded his chopsticks, not intending to continue talking about this topic.
In fact, he doesn't like to be nosy, if his mother promised to double the living expenses and entrusted him with this matter, he would really be too lazy to say a word.
Shen Xingruo got up in time and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Ten minutes later, when Shen Xingruo came back, Lu Xingyan also got up and went to the bathroom.
When he passed the front desk, he bought an order by the way.
This store is not very smart. Ordering is done by hand, and billing is done manually with a calculator. The waiter seems to be worse at math than him, and he has to calculate it three times before he understands it.
After paying the bill, Lu Xingyan went out.
But the waiter scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.
Someone in the inner box wanted to add more food, she didn't think about it, she went through the receipt and hurried over.
By eleven o'clock, Lu Xingyan and Shen Xingruo couldn't even eat a leaf of vegetable.
There were more than half of the frogs left on the table. Based on the unit price of 10 yuan each, they lost at least 130 yuan. There were more than half of the other crab sticks and shrimp slips left, and the side dishes could be ignored.
When they came, there was a table of middle-aged men eating and chatting about demolition projects worth more than one billion yuan.
They were full, and the middle-aged men at the table were still spitting, as if they were going to fight until dawn.
"... The demolition will definitely be demolished. This land is what Jin Sheng wants, and it depends on what price Jin Sheng can offer!"
"Boss Wang, didn't you say that you had dinner with Jin Sheng Lu Dong last time, did Dong Lu reveal anything?"
"Dr. Lu, I had dinner with him more than once. He had originally intended to discuss subcontracting with our company for the Luoxing Lake project. I also went to his house for dinner. Mr. Lu's house... "
Shen Xingruo glanced at Lu Xingyan.
Lu Xingyan leaned back in the chair with an expression of "I don't know if my dad knows this guy, but he never came to my house for dinner".
Lu Xingyan was too lazy to listen to this series of passionate speeches. He moved his neck and said lazily, "Are you full? Let's go."
Before the fire was turned off, Shen Xingruo looked at the frogs on the table, "Can't you eat thirty frogs by yourself?"
When he yelled at the thirty frogs, he was full of momentum, and she almost believed it.
Lu Xingyan was silent for two seconds, and asked a question from the depths of his soul: "Shen Xingruo, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't hurt me dozens of times a day?"
"But you really have a lot of flaws."
Shen Xingruo answered seriously.
Lu Xingyan was speechless, but he couldn't do anything to her, so he put his coat on his shoulders and walked out first.
After leaving the yard, he still stopped at the door.
It was dark in the middle of the night, and he couldn't afford to have something happen to the little girl, especially since the little girl was quite good-looking, the chance of something happening was too high.
Also out of safety considerations, Lu Xingyan did not use his mobile phone to call a car.
The two walked to the side of the main road and waited for a taxi.
The spring night wind was very gentle, and the street lamps glowed with a warm yellow halo. The two stood by the roadside, talking one after another.
Lu Xingyan has never been to Huize.
Huize is actually a place with a lot of delicious food. It is rare for Shen Xingruo to open his mouth more. He told him what delicious food and fun there is in Huize, and told him the specific address in his memory.
Afraid that his goldfish brain would not be able to remember it, he even said that he would send him a WeChat message.
The atmosphere was originally friendly, but Lu Xingyan always wanted to bring up topics that would spoil the atmosphere on a whim.
"You like Huize very much. Then you transferred here, is it because your father is getting married, and your stepmother-to-be and Tuyoupin forced you here overtly?"
"..."
"Shut up, I'm coming by myself."
The plot was not as miserable as he had imagined, but Shen Xingruo lost interest in talking in an instant.
Fortunately, the rental came soon.
The two got into the car, but Lu Xingyan didn't know it. He had just spent the money, and wanted to struggle for double living expenses. Before he could persuade him, he suddenly found that Shen Xingruo had already put on the earphones.
All the way without words.
After arriving at Luoxing Lake, Shen Xingruo scanned the taxi driver's QR code before Lu Xingyan, ready to pay.
But the mobile phone prompts: Insufficient balance.
"Lu Xingyan, you can pay, or transfer 30 yuan to me. I just paid the bill, and there is no money in the phone."
Lu Xing delayed the payment.
But I always felt that Shen Xingruo's words were very strange.
After getting out of the car, he suddenly asked, "What do you pay for?"
"Just the hot pot just now..." Shen Xingruo sensed something was wrong, "I paid for it when I went to the bathroom, it was four hundred and fifty-three, what's the matter?"
Lu Xingyan was expressionless, "I also bought an order, four hundred and five, she may be jealous of your beauty, so she didn't wipe it off for you."
