At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Cen Baihe asked the driver to park outside the villa and called Qi Yan to come out.
"Did you change a set of clothes?" After getting in the car, Qi Yan found that Cen Baihe's clothes were different from the suit he wore when he went out in the morning. This suit looked more casual.
"Well," Cen Baihe bent over to buckle his seat belt, "Where is your appointment?"
"In the hot pot restaurant near the university I used to study," Qi Yan touched his mouth, "After a while after graduation, I suddenly felt that the food outside the school was the best, not only delicious but also cheap."
However, 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 are chatting with the proprietress. The proprietress is pregnant and does some cash register work in the shop, so they can chat with them from time to time.
"You four boys, two came here," the lady boss grabbed a plate of fried peas for the two and put it on the table, "I haven't seen you for a while, you have matured a lot."
"One went back to his hometown, and came here later," Wang Hang grabbed a handful of peas into his hand, "Thank you, Sister Xia."
Sister Xia leaned on her waist and sat down on the stool, smiling and regretting: "You four graduated, and it will not be easy to see you four appear together in the future."
Wang Hang smiled and said: "Next time our brothers come to you for hot pot, 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 it. If you come here for dinner today, you have to take care of us to get a table." Although Wang Hang is a child from a wealthy family, he talks to Qi Yan and the others. After staying together for a long time, I am used to eating at food stalls and small restaurants.
This hot pot restaurant is not big because it has been opened for a long time, and the walls are slightly yellowed, but they are cleaned up and there are brand-new tableware in the disinfection cabinet. At first glance, people know that the owner of this restaurant is very talking. health.
"The bottom of the pot is coming," a waiter came over with a large copper pot and set it on the stove. Seeing that the proprietress was familiar with the two young people, the smile on her face became even brighter, "The two-point mandarin duck pot is on. , Are you ready?"
Wang Hang raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "Let's take a look again, it's hard work."
"You are polite." The waiter smiled and went to another table to entertain the other guests.
"Could Qianqian be stuck in the road right now?" Wang Hang took a sip of water in his teacup and began to look around boredly.
"Girls always put on beautiful clothes and some makeup before going out," Lin Shuo said calmly, "It's only a few minutes before half past six, so don't worry."
"Well," Wang Hang was about to speak, turning his head to see Qi Yan pushing the door and walking in, he smiled and beckoned to the door, "Money, over here."
"Here?" Lin Shuo turned his head and looked around. He didn't see any girl beside Qi Yan, but Cen Baihe followed him. Lin Shuo looked behind the two of them suspiciously, but did not see the other girls.
"Money," Sister Xia saw Qi Yan with a bright smile on her face. Wang Hang next to her said with emotion: "I know that among the four of us, Sister Xia likes money and money the most."
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid," Sister Xia smiled and glared at Wang Hang, then turned to Qi Yan and narrowed her eyes. "
"Sister Xia is good to me," Qi Yan pulled Cen Baihe over, stretched out his hand to wrap his neck and said, "This is my family, you can call him Xiaocen."
"Oh, you made a joke with your friend again," Sister Xia didn't take what Qi Yan said seriously, and handed him the menu. "Come on, you can order."
"Thank you," Qi Yan took the menu and found that Sister Xia's belly was already bulging, and smiled immediately, "Congratulations. Congratulations. When you look at this 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, and have never been able to give birth to a child. Since then, it has been difficult for her to conceive any more children. Fortunately, the husband and wife have a very good relationship, and there has not been a huge quarrel over the child.
"With your good words," Sister Xia said with a smile, "With your words, I will give you a 20% discount tonight."
"Then I have to order a few more expensive items today," Qi Yan joked with Sister Xia and took Cen Baihe to Wang Hang and Lin Shuo to sit down in front of them.
"Although this shop looks old, it tastes good and the ingredients are clean," Qi Yan turned to look at Cen Baihe, "It's just a little bit crowded, are you not used to it?"
"Very good," Cen Baihe glanced at the steaming hot pot, "it smells very fragrant."
Lin Shuo and Wang Hang looked at something wrong, but they were a little bit embarrassed about Cen Baihe's identity, so they didn't know how to ask. In the end, Lin Shuo pretended to ask casually while adjusting the oil saucer, "Money, didn't let you bring your girlfriend, why are you two here?"
"When did I say that I have a girlfriend?" Qi Yanchao rolled his eyes, brushed the menu and checked the dishes he and Cen Baihe like to eat, and put the menu in front of Wang Hang, "Come, order. "
"Huh?" Wang Hang was dumbfounded, "No, when I called you last time, didn't you say on the phone..."
Cen Baihe lowered his head to adjust the flavor of the oil dish to Qi Yan. Knowing that Qi Yan likes to add a lot of coriander when boiling hot pot, he put a large spoonful in it, but he doesn't like the taste of coriander, and he rarely touches it.
"Would you like some salt?"
"No, just add a little chicken essence," Qi Yan shook his head, "add a few more drops of vinegar."
Sister Xia's hot pot here is of Shu flavor, and the taste is a bit spicy. Adding a few drops of vinegar will alleviate the pungency and improve the taste.
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo silently watched Qi Yan order Cen Baihe to adjust the oil dish. They felt a little weird, but no one dared to admit the guess in their hearts. When they ate at the Cen's house last time, Qian Qian and Cen Baihe had a good relationship, but they weren't as close as they are today. I feel awkward in this way of getting along today.
They are good brothers with Qianqian, but they absolutely have no patience to give money and make oil dishes, and they have to take care of his taste everywhere. They are not babies, and they have to be guarded and held.
The dishes are ready and the dishes are on the table. When the meaty belly, fat beef and other meats are just hot, Qi Yan said: "Aren't you going to see my lover, I brought people over, why didn't you respond?"
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo looked at Qi Yan and Cen Baihe dumbly with chopsticks.
While the two were in a daze, Qi Yan quickly picked up the meat slices from the pot and divided half of them into Cen Baihe. When Wang Hang and the two of them reacted, there were only a few old shaggy belly and old spring onions used for seasoning in the bottom of the pot.
"Qian Qian," Wang Hang looked at Cen Baihe, then at Qi Yan, "You didn't want to grab meat, you were joking with us?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Qi Yan asked back.
You are.
Wang Hang and Lin Shuo replied together in their hearts.
"Qianqian 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 the two again. I'm Qianqian's boyfriend."
"You, him," Wang Hang stammered at Qi Yan and then at Cen Baihe. It took a long time to squeeze out a few words, "Your family is not embarrassed by money, right?"
"I like Qianqian very much, and of course my family likes him very much," Cen Baihe smiled towards Wang Hang. "Qianqian told me a lot about his college days. I hope that my appearance will not affect your relationship. Friendship."
He would not say anything to thank them for taking care of their money before. This is an insult to their friendship, and it is not what he should say.
"That's not true," Wang Hang waved his hand to look at Qi Yan, "Qianqian, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised." My good brother said without warning. Just bend, if he doesn't react at all, then it is abnormal, right?
"Yes, I didn't mean that either," Lin Shuo hurriedly stated his position. "It's just that we were a little confused for a while. We used to think that you would bring a beautiful and charming beauty over, so we were a little gaffe, a little gaffe."
"Our Baihe is so good-looking, and which beauty can compare?" Qi Yan secretly squeezed Cen Baihe's hand under the table. Don't take a second look."
Cen Baihe raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Yan with a smile. Who was chasing a detective drama last night and said that the heroine was handsome and the queen of the imperial sisters?
Cen Baihe, who never demolished Qi Yantai in front of others, didn't say this, but learned Qi Yan's appearance and started eating hot pot freely. But perhaps it is because the atmosphere here is very good, and it is also a familiar place for Qianqian, so after a while, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang let go, at least much more comfortable than when they came to his house for dinner last time. However, looking at the reaction of the two of them, it does not seem to be too much dissatisfaction with his relationship with Qianqian. Even the look in his eyes is more close.
Friendship in the 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 or no one in the writer, and let a person stay in the dormitory to accompany him.
As long as they go home, they will definitely take the thermos barrel to give money and bring a big bucket of delicious things, and they are all home-cooked dishes made by the family, not the things in the hotel outside. So even though Qi Yan had no family in the four years of university, he was taken aback by these three people.
This kind of pure friendship was something he had never experienced, so when facing Qi Yan's friends, he began to join their conversation without a trace.
For people like Cen Baihe, it is very easy to please someone. By the time the meal was over, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang had already yelled at the fifth brother Cen.
Qi Yan murmured, "I am the smallest of our brothers. Now you have a brother named Baihe. Are you messing up the order?"
However, Lin Shuo and Wang Hang did not take care of his hypocritical little problem.
But Cen Baihe spoke: "Then they will call me Baihe in the future, and I will follow you."
Oh, whoever has a boyfriend has the right to be hypocritical.
I really want to kick 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 that you college students will have to go to the north and south after graduation, but you have to be free in the future, so come to Sister Xia to sit down," 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 sincere friends. I am very happy to talk to you."
"I won't forget," Qi Yan smiled and accepted the invoice, "Sister Xia's food is so delicious, even if you don't want me to come, I'll come over brazenly."
"I know you can talk," Sister Xia glanced around and saw that no one was coming to check out, she put her head together in front of Qi Yan, and whispered, "Qianqian, didn't you say you can tell fortune-telling before? You do the math for me, my child..."
"Sister Xia," Qi Yan stretched out her index finger and made a hush gesture to her mouth, "You forgot, I just said that the baby in your belly must be very strong after being born."
When Sister Xia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, I'm relieved with you."
Qi Yan was stunned: "Do you believe me so?"
"I can't believe others, I still believe what you say," Sister Xia stuffed a carton of milk into Qi Yan's hands. "After the baby is born, I will bring him to worship you."
Qi Yan laughed, what is the custom of worship?
"Sister Xia, you have given money and money special treatment again," Wang Hang saw the milk in Qi Yan's hand, "Look at this heart grows really wrong."
"I knew you would make trouble," Sister Xia took another two boxes of milk and stuffed it into Wang Hang's hands. After filling, she took another box and gave it to Cen Baihe alone. "Come on, this box belongs to you."
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 didn't move.
"If you are not used to this kind of taste, give it to me," Qi Yan stretched out his hand towards Cen Baihe, "I like this kind of taste."
"No," Cen Baihe inserted the straw into the box and took a sip with his head down. "It's delicious."
He was very fortunate that Qianqian could meet such good people. Because of good people like them, he can meet such a good money.
The author has something to say: Bai He: It's the first time someone gave me milk in this way, it's a little bit happy (^o^)/~
