At around five in the afternoon, Cen Baihe asked the driver to park the car outside the villa and called Qi Yan to come out.
"You changed your clothes?" After getting into the car, Qi Yan found that the clothes on Cen Baihe's body were different from the suit he wore when he went out in the morning. This suit looked more casual.
"Well," Cen Baihe bent down to fasten the seat belt for him, "Where is the place you agreed to?"
"In the hot pot restaurant near my university," Qi Yan touched his mouth, "after graduating for a while, I suddenly felt that the food outside the school was the best, not only delicious but also cheap."
But it is also possible that what is delicious is not the taste, but a feeling.
In the hot pot restaurant, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang were chatting with the proprietress. The proprietress was pregnant, and she did some cashier work in the shop, so they had time to chat with them from time to time.
"You four young men, why are you two here?" The proprietress grabbed a plate of fried peas for the two of them and put them on the table. "I haven't seen you for a while, and you have matured a lot."
"One is back home, and the other will come over later," Wang Hang grabbed a handful of peas into his hand, "Thanks, Sister Xia."
Sister Xia supported her waist and sat down on the stool, laughing and regretting: "The four of you have graduated, and it will be difficult to see the four of you appear together in the future."
Wang Hang said with a smile: "Next time our brothers come to eat hot pot with you, your baby may be able to walk."
"You kid!" Sister Xia smiled helplessly, "Can't you take care of my business a few more times?"
"Sister Xia, you are so popular every day, you don't need us to take care of you. If you come to eat here today, it is you who take care of us to get a table." Although Wang Hang is a child from a wealthy family, he is with Qi Yan and the others. After staying together for a long time, I became accustomed to eating in large food stalls and small restaurants.
This hot pot restaurant is not big, because it has been open for a long time, the walls are slightly yellow, but it is very clean, and there are brand-new tableware in the disinfection cabinet. health.
"The bottom of the pot is here." A waiter came over with a big copper pot and placed it on the stove. Seeing that the proprietress was familiar with the two young people, the smile on her face became brighter. , are you ready to order?"
Wang Hang raised his hand and glanced at the watch: "Let's take a look again, it's time to work."
"You're welcome." The waiter smiled and went to another table to entertain other guests.
"Could Qian Qian be stuck in the road now?" Wang Hang took a sip of water from a teacup and began to look around boredly.
"Girls always put on pretty clothes and make up before going out," Lin Shuo said calmly, "It's only a few minutes before six thirty, so don't worry."
"Well," Wang Hang was about to speak, when he turned his head and saw Qi Yan pushed the door and walked in, he smiled and beckoned to the door, "Qian Qian, this way."
"Arrived?" Lin Shuo turned his head to look, but did not see any girl beside Qi Yan, but Cen Baihe followed behind him. Lin Shuo looked behind the two of them suspiciously, but did not see any other girls.
"Qian Qian," Sister Xia saw Qi Yan, and a bright smile appeared on her face. Wang Hang next to her said with emotion, "I know that among the four of our brothers, the one that Sister Xia likes the most is Qian Qian."
"Don't talk nonsense, kid," Sister Xia glared at Wang Hang with a smile, then turned her head and squinted at Qi Yan, "Come on money, there is fresh fat beef you like in the store today, remember to eat more later. "
"Sister Xia is still good to me," Qi Yan pulled Cen Bohe over, stretched out his arms and put his arms around his neck, "This is my family, you can just call him Xiao Cen."
"Oh, you're making fun of your friends again," Sister Xia didn't take Qi Yan's words seriously, and handed him the menu, "Come on, let's order."
"Thank you," Qi Yan took the menu and found that Sister Xia's belly was bulging, and immediately smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, looking at this fetal portrait, you know that this child will grow very strong after birth."
Sister Xia and her husband have been married for seven or eight years, but have not been able to give birth to a child. When the two first came to Kyoto to work hard in their early years, Sister Xia had a miscarriage due to overwork. Since then, it has been difficult for her to conceive a child again. Fortunately, the husband and wife are in a good relationship and have not had a huge quarrel over the child.
"Lend your auspicious words," Sister Xia said with a smile, "With your words, I'll give you a 20% discount tonight."
"Then I'll order some more expensive dishes today," Qi Yan and Sister Xia joked a few more times before pulling Cen Baihe to sit down in front of Wang Hang and Lin Shuo.
"Although this shop looks a little old, it tastes good and the ingredients are clean," Qi Yan turned to look at Cen Baihe, "It's just a little crowded, won't you get used to it?"
"Very good," Cen Baihe glanced at the steaming hot pot, "It smells delicious."
Lin Shuo and Wang Hang looked a little wrong, but they were somewhat frightened by Cen Baihe's identity, so they didn't know how to ask. In the end, Lin Shuo pretended to be indifferent while adjusting the oil dish and asked, "Qian Qian, I didn't ask you to bring your girlfriend here, so why are you two over here?"
"When did I say I have a girlfriend?" Qi Yan rolled his eyes at the two of them, swiped on the menu to tick the dishes he and Cen Baihe like to eat, and put the menu in front of Wang Hang, "Come, order. "
"Ah?" Wang Hang was dumbfounded, "No, when I called you last time, you didn't say..."
Cen Baihe lowered his head to adjust the flavor of the oil dish for Qi Yan. Knowing that Qi Yan likes to add a lot of coriander when he cooks hot pot, he put a tablespoon in it, but he himself doesn't like the taste of coriander, and he rarely touches it.
"Want some salt?"
"No, just add a little chicken essence," Qi Yan shook his head, "Add a few drops of vinegar."
Xia Jie's hot pot here is of the Sichuan style, and it tastes spicy and spicy. Adding a few drops of vinegar will relieve the spicy feeling and improve the taste.
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo silently watched Qi Yan order Cen Baihe to adjust the oil dish for him. They felt a little weird, but neither dared to admit the guess in their hearts. The last time they ate at Cen's house, although Qian Qian and Cen Baihe had a good relationship, they were not as close as they are today. Today's way of getting along is awkward.
They and Qian Qian can be called good brothers, but they definitely don't have the patience to give Qian Qian an oil dish, and they have to take care of his taste everywhere.
The dishes were ordered and served. When the meat such as the hairy belly and the fat beef were just hot, Qi Yan said, "Don't you want to see my lover? I brought them here, why are you all unresponsive?"
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo looked at Qi Yan and Cen Bohe dumbfoundedly with chopsticks, and for a while they couldn't turn their heads.
While the two were in a daze, Qi Yan quickly picked up the meat slices in the pot, and also divided Cen Baihe in half. When Wang Hang and the two reacted, there were only a few old boiled belly and old onion segments in the bottom of the pot for seasoning.
"Qianqian," Wang Hang looked at Cen Baihe and Qi Yan, "you're not joking with us for the sake of grabbing meat, are you?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Qi Yan asked back.
you are.
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo answered in their hearts.
"Qian Qian didn't joke with you," Cen Baihe put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth and hands with a towel. "It's a pleasure to meet you two again. I'm Qian Qian's boyfriend."
"You, he," Wang Hang stammered and pointed at Qi Yan, then at Cen Baihe, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words, "Your family is not in trouble with money, right?"
"I like Qian Qian very much, and of course my family likes him very much," Cen Baihe smiled at Wang Hang, "Qian Qian told me a lot about his college days, I hope my presence will not affect the relationship between you. friendship."
He wouldn't say anything to thank them for taking care of the money before, it was an insult to their friendship, and it wasn't something he should say.
"That won't happen," Wang Hang hurriedly waved his hand to look at Qi Yan, "Qian Qian, I have no other intentions, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised." His good brother said without warning. It bends. If he doesn't respond at all, that's not normal, right
"Yes, I didn't mean that either," Lin Shuo hurriedly stated his position. "It's just that we were a little bit confused about this. Before, we always thought that you would bring a beautiful and charming woman here, so it was a little rude, a little rude."
"Our family's Bai He is so beautiful, what other beauty can be compared to it," Qi Yan secretly squeezed Cen Baihe's hand under the table, "With Bai He, in my eyes, other people are red-faced and withered bones. Don't take a second look."
Cen Baihe raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Qi Yan with a half-smiling smile. Who was chasing a detective drama last night and said that the heroine was so handsome that she was the queen of the royal sisters
Cen Baihe, who never demolished Qi Yan's platform in front of others, didn't say it out loud. Instead, he imitated Qi Yan and ate hot pot comfortably. But maybe the atmosphere here is very good, and it is a place they are familiar with, so Lin Shuo and Wang Hang let go after eating for a while, at least they are much more comfortable than when they came to his house for dinner last time. But looking at the reaction of the two, it really doesn't seem like there is too much dissatisfaction with his relationship with Qian Qian, and even the look in his eyes is a little more close.
Friendship in a young age is pure and does not involve interests. Qian Qian said that the three of them were obviously worried that he would not have relatives to accompany him during the Spring Festival and New Year's Day, but they always pretended that there was something wrong with the writer or that there was no one in the house, and left him alone in the dormitory to accompany him.
As long as they go home, they will bring a bucket of delicious food for money and money in an insulated bucket, and all of them are home-cooked dishes made by their family, not those in the hotel outside. Even though Qi Yan had no family during the four years of college, he was taken care of by these three people.
This kind of pure friendship was something he had never experienced before, so when facing Qi Yan's friends, he began to join their conversation without a trace.
It is very easy for a person like Cen Baihe to please someone, and by the time the meal was over, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang were already shouting at Brother Cen.
Qi Yan murmured, "Among our brothers, I am the youngest. Now you have one brother named Bai He. Is the ordering out of order?"
However, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang didn't take care of his arrogant little question.
It was Cen Baihe who said, "Then they'll just call me Bohe in the future, and I'll follow you."
Oh, whoever has a boyfriend has the right to be hypocritical.
I really want to kick over this bowl of hot dog food!
When Qi Yan paid the bill, Sister Xia really gave him a 20% discount and erased the fraction.
"I know you college students are going to run around the world after graduating, but when you have time to spare, come and sit here with Sister Xia." Sister Xia issued an invoice to Qi Yan, "Our husband and wife are working hard here in the imperial capital. For many years, I haven't had many true friends, and I'm very happy to talk to you."
"I won't forget," Qi Yan took the invoice with a smile, "Sister Xia's food here is so delicious, even if you don't want me to come, I'll have to come here cheeky."
"I knew you could talk," Sister Xia looked around and saw that no one came to check out, she put her head in front of Qi Yan and whispered, "Qian Qian, you didn't say you could tell fortunes before, then You do the math for me, my child..."
"Sister Xia," Qi Yan stretched out her index finger and made a shush gesture around her mouth, "you forgot, I said just now that the child in your belly must be very strong after birth."
When Sister Xia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a smile, "Hey, I'm relieved if you say that."
Qi Yan was stunned: "You believe me so?"
"I don't believe others, but I still believe what you said." Sister Xia stuffed a carton of milk into Qi Yan's hand. "After the child is born, I will bring him to pay homage to you."
Qi Yan laughed, what is the custom of bowing
"Sister Xia, you've given Qian Qian special treatment again," Wang Hang saw the milk in Qi Yan's hand, "Look, this heart looks really biased."
"I knew you would make trouble." Sister Xia took two more boxes of milk and stuffed them into Wang Hang's hands. After they were done, she took another box and gave it to Cen Baihe. "Come on, this box is yours."
Milk is not expensive, but this is the first time Cen Baihe has experienced this kind of simple enthusiasm. Until he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, he still held a carton of milk and did not move.
"If you're not used to this taste, give it to me," Qi Yan stretched out his hand towards Cen Baihe, "I like this taste quite a bit."
"No," Cen Baihe inserted the straw into the box, lowered his head and took a sip, "It's delicious."
He is very fortunate that Qian Qian can meet such good people. Because of their good people, he can meet such a good money.
The author has something to say: Bai He: It was the first time someone used this method to deliver milk, and I was a little happy (^o^)/~
