Chapter 13: Uncle Niu's Hot Pot Restaurant
Midsummer evenings are always lively.
As night fell, the heat of the day seemed to be scared away, and the gentle breeze blew across Lin Fei's face, blowing away the heat on the earth, and his body suddenly felt a little cool.
Looking around, Lin Fei saw that every residential building in the community was flickering, and in the gazebo or on the benches under the trees, there were some eldest sisters and aunts who came out for a walk after dinner and got together to chat.
There are also groups of children who are happily playing and playing, some skateboarding, some rollerblading, some playing hide and seek...... Summer nights are more lively than daytime!
Walked out of the door of the community, took a taxi on the side of the road, the driver of the car was a novice, after giving him an address, the driver picked up the mobile phone to operate, and then there was a voice navigation to help him guide the way, technology makes people convenient, it's good!
Stop-and-go, this time period is just the rush hour of commuting, there are a lot of vehicles on the road, at 6:45, Lin Fei arrived at the door of Uncle Niu's hot pot restaurant.
Uncle Niu's hot pot restaurant, which has been open for more than 40 years now, is full of childhood memories in the hearts of the older generation.
Lin Fei came to the front desk, reported the number of the private room to the waiter, and came to the door of the private room under his guidance.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to arrive first!" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"Which time didn't come first for us. Zhou Yue said expectantly: "Quick, give me the birthday gift prepared for me first." ”
"What is the monkey anxious!" Lin Fei said to her with a smile: "The gift will not fly away, let me sit down and drink saliva first, just now the road was stuck in traffic for a long time, and I already knew that I would come by riding a shared bicycle." ”
Lin Fei handed her the box he was carrying, and poured himself a cup of tea by the way.
Today, Zhou Yue is wearing a white off-the-shoulder chiffon skirt, the bow at the waist is cute and moving, the layers of lace are embellished on the beautiful skirt, and the long hair is draped over the shoulders.
Wang Xiaoru was wearing a black dress, with a small dew on her shoulders, clean and elegant, and there was nothing embellishment on the skirt.
Zhou Yue happily took the birthday gift handed over by Lin Fei, and couldn't wait to open it, and what caught her eye was a green, palm-like thing, and it also had thorns.
"Cactus?"
"Well, it's a cactus, I gave you a cactus ball last year, I see you like it a lot, this year I specially selected a sister of it to give to you, how about it, not surprised, not surprised, not happy. ”
"Surprise, surprise, joy. Zhou Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled at Lin Fei.
"Well, I knew that. Lin Fei nodded.
"Okay! Zhou Yue, the gift has also been received, let's eat first! Everyone is hungry too. Wang Xiaoru covered her mouth and smiled.
Looking at the mutton ordered on the table, beef, pig intestines, pig brain flowers, chicken hearts, winter melon, white radish, bamboo shoots, yams, taro, mushrooms, fungus, kelp, chrysanthemum, coriander, lettuce leaves, pea seedlings, broccoli, green leaf lettuce, fish balls, meatballs, twist flowers, fritters, oil dumplings, crispy meat, spring rolls, pumpkin pie.
"Are you going to order too much!" Lin Fei said, looking at the mountains of food.
"It's okay! Not much, anyway, if you can't finish eating today, you won't want to go home." Zhou Yue withdrew her gaze from the cactus and glanced at Lin Fei.
"Okay, hurry up and eat it! Don't talk patronizing, come, Lin Fei, this is your favorite fish ball, it's cooked, hand me the bowl, I'll serve you some." Wang Xiaoru said to Lin Fei with a smile.
"Hey, I'm the protagonist today, I'm the protagonist! Zhou Yue said with a glare.
"Okay, okay, we know! Come on, you like to eat this pig brain, I'll help you fill it up and make it up for you. Lin Fei said to Zhou Yue.
"My favorite food is beef, how did you put all the beef in your own bowl, hurry up and give it to me. Zhou Yue said.
You come and go, Lin Fei and Zhou Yue compete with each other, and they are happy to eat.
"It's so full!" Lin Fei said with a full burp.
"Me too, it's all your fault for arguing with me, which made me eat a lot more. Zhou Yue threw the pot to Lin Fei.
"I robbed you a few times at the beginning, and you ate and drank there by yourself for the rest of the day. Lin Fei threw the pot back again.
"You two don't have to fight, eat so much, save some energy to eat!" Wang Xiaoru shook her head as she looked at the two of them.
"By the way, let me tell you one thing, I awakened my psionic ability last week, and my ability by the way also awakened. Lin Fei mentioned it casually.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Zhou Yue, who was drinking tea, was choked by the tea.
"What, you say it again, I didn't hear clearly. Zhou Yue's face was full of disbelief.
"It's an awakened ability! What a fuss. ”
Lin Fei was a little taken aback, he squinted his eyes and said, "Didn't the government make statements on TV and on the Internet?"
In the future, people all over the earth will awaken their psionic abilities, and the number of people who have awakened their abilities will also greatly increase, so it is not surprising. ”
"Congratulations! Lin Fei. Wang Xiaoru said curiously: "What ability have you awakened?"
"It's not a great ability, it's just a small fireball. Lin Fei casually cast his ability and summoned a small fireball the size of a ping-pong ball in the palm of his hand.
"You, you've really awakened a supernatural ability! I only have psionic powers, no supernatural abilities.
Isn't the most rookie among the three of us now becoming me?" Zhou Yue said enviously as she looked at Lin Fei's little fireball.
Even if I don't have the ability to awaken, you're still the best person. ”
Lin Fei said disdainfully: "It's useless for me to take this little fireball, do you light a candle?" Now there is no power outage, even if the power goes out, the lighting is not as bright as the flashlight that comes with the mobile phone." ”
"Whether it's useful or not, I always feel that if you all have it, I don't have it, and my mood will not be beautiful. Zhou Yue pretended to be aggrieved.
"Then you will continue to be not beautiful!" Lin Fei continued: "My previous college class leader encountered two animals that had awakened their abilities in the wild, just in the forest of Mochizuki Mountain, this should not be an exception, there will be more and more in the future, and the wild will become very unsafe, if your gym organizes outdoor activities, it is best to push them away if you go to a place that is too remote, so as not to encounter danger." ”
"Well, but there really is such a thing!" Wang Xiaoru said in surprise: "I heard a colleague who came back from a trip to the Xing'an Forest today, and the local residents of the Xing'an Forest said that there are many animals with magical abilities in the forest, and several hunters are missing.
Now that the local Anomalies has stationed someone on the outskirts of the forest, I thought he was joking! ”
"I had a yoga class today, and I chatted with a few students after class, and I heard them mention similar things. Zhou Yue echoed.
Lin Fei sighed: "The explosion of spiritual energy, the content of spiritual energy in the air is becoming more and more abundant, prompting the physique of both humans and animals to evolve, and they have awakened spiritual energy.
Even if there is no awakening ability, the awakening of light and spiritual energy can continue to enhance people's physical fitness in all aspects, and the strength of animals is inherently superior to that of humans, and the power obtained after awakening is even stronger, and the wild will become more dangerous in the future. ”
