Chapter 8: The Long Night
Jian Zhichun came back from work to change his shoes, and after washing his hands, he came to ask if there was anything he needed help with, Zhongli happened to be dealing with the fish, and he was very serious, so he asked her to cut half a lemon down, and he wanted to use it to marinate the fish fillet to make the meat more fragrant.
Zhongli when cooking is different, with the laid-back temperament that a chef can only have, no matter how difficult it is, I enjoy it and devote myself to it. After Jian Zhichun cut the lemon, she went to wash a few fruits, cut them into a fruit plate by the way, and then went to prepare for tonight's work, she went to an art studio to teach children to sketch, and now prepare in advance what she will teach for a while.
She is not an art student, but there was a time when she was in college and saw a beautiful scene of birds flying in the mountains behind the school accompanied by the sunset, so she wanted to draw it on a whim, and studied for half a year on the free course on the website, and after half a year, her art works were able to fool many people.
More than half an hour later, Zhongli Cong brought out a few dishes, "It's time to eat." ”
Jian Zhichun put down the pencil in his hand, washed his hands again, and sat on the chair to taste it carefully.
Jian Zhichun's eyes lit up, and the speed of eating vegetables was slightly faster, like the little squirrel in the Ice Age, and his cheeks bulged slightly. Zhongli wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he felt that he was now a creditor, and even if he cooked, he still felt that this matter was quite good, which did not match his identity, and then said indifferently: "I work hard to cook, but someone sits back and enjoys it." ”
"I cut the lemon, and the fruit. ”
Zhongli said lightly: "Is this considered a help?"
"Of course not," Jian Zhichun glanced up at him and said seriously: "It's just that these dishes are delicious, so I'm eating seriously now and experiencing the mind of the cook, but someone always does something boring that makes me unable to enjoy the chef's mind." In contrast, this is disrespect to the chef by someone, and I condemn the chef here. ”
Zhongli choked, and couldn't refute it at once.
Zhongli's daily struggle and failure fell into a vicious circle, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to crusade against the other party's behavior in recent days, but it turned out to be unfavorable, and he lost face.
Zhong-The domineering president was slightly unhappy, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the sweet and sour pork ribs that were obviously delicious were a little less flavorful.
Jian Zhichun ate quickly, she rushed to class, changed into a slightly brighter clothes, left these dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and waited for her to come back to wash them, and left in a hurry.
Zhongli was actually a little curious, how could a person be so busy, since Jian Zhichun moved in, he had hardly seen her a few times, and every day seemed to be different, but every time he felt his emotions were so high, he didn't even have a chance to refute and question.
For Jian Zhichun, it seems that every job is really done with one hundred and twenty vitality, which makes people feel terrible.
He didn't know where he saw a sentence that people who can live extremely busy and fulfilling lives are actually very strange.
Jian Zhichun is a weirdo.
After getting along for a few days, Zhongli and Jian Zhichun tacitly agreed on each other's evaluation.
He thought to himself that if he had time anyway, he might as well take a look, and take it as a supervision to see if the other party had fulfilled the conditions seriously. However, when I went out, I received a phone call, and the drawings designed for a preschool education institution needed to be re-rectified, and I felt that the whole design age group was still too young, and they wanted the kind that should be suitable for children, but not too naïve, and also need to express interesting design.
Zhongli has seen the design draft given by the designer, and he has made his own decision, but he can't stand the strange request of Party A, and now the designers under him are beginning to worry, and they feel that they can't grasp what kind of design the other party wants, why can't the other party go to heaven, so I didn't come to consult him.
He glanced at the time and went to the study to prepare for a video conference.
After Jian Zhichun arrived at the studio, the students also arrived one after another, she chose a tablecloth from the props in the corner, put a pot of fruits, and then began to let everyone draw still lifes. As for her, from time to time, she will check on the students' brushwork to see if there is any problem, and remind them to pay attention to the lines and composition.
After class ended at half past nine, someone in the Jiangcheng part-time group sent a message.
Jiang Yan Woman: There is a shortage of two waiters on the barbecue street on Zhongshan Road, there are a lot of people tonight, and they can't be busy, who is free, the salary is good, and you can leave early at 12 o'clock,
Peng Peng Pengtao: I knew that there was a job on the barbecue street, so I wouldn't take a part-time job at the coffee shop tonight, it's too boring, and there is no one to talk to, so let's not talk about it, I'll go prepare dessert first.
Jian Zhichun: I'm going over now.
Song Zhi (Science and Technology Trade): I also kind of want to go.
Jiang Yan Woman: @宋知 (University of Science and Technology), good, Xiao Song will come next time, this time the recruitment is full, and the University of Science and Technology is also a little far from Zhongshan Road, it is inconvenient for you to go back then.
There are other people who want to take the job, and a newcomer directly asked if there is still a place, and someone smiled, saying that you are still young, didn't you see the words on the title of the person?—— Brother Chengnanchun. This is a part-time god in the group, one can top several people!
Jiang Yan is one of the founding team members of the part-time Daqun, who is still in school and research, and is responsible for contacting many companies and stores in Jiangcheng, and then connecting them to individuals, and their team collects advertising fees and other money from it. She trusted Jian Zhichun very much, and directly connected with the specific location and salary, if it was Jian Zhichun, the part-time salary could be higher, Jian Zhichun thanked him, and then rushed over, and when he got there, it was exactly three minutes away from ten o'clock.
Recently, because of a lantern festival about to be held in Jiangcheng, it has attracted a lot of tourists, and this barbecue street is the first few places in the frequency of Jiangcheng's travelogues in major travel apps.
The stall she was going to was in the middle of the street, the name was simple, starling barbecue, the store was clean, but there was inevitably a little smoke in the air, there were seven or eight tables of people sitting in the house, all ages, the sound was noisy, but it was full of fireworks, which made people feel a lot warmer for no reason.
At the right time, it is a good way to come to the barbecue restaurant to have a hard meal in this weather, and it is not bad to relieve the cold.
The shopkeeper was a husband and wife, and he was a little hesitant to see that Jian Zhichun was alone, but he was stunned for a while, Jian Zhichun's skillful posture was really not something that ordinary people could do, and they almost doubted whether this person was a "spy" sent by the diagonal family to steal the secret recipe.
The lights outside were thick, and some people couldn't stand the cold wind at this point, and after sitting for a while, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked the proprietress to change their position and come into the house.
Xie Zhizhen was wearing light gray casual clothes, followed by two men and a woman, all young and good-looking, they looked very familiar, and looked at a few shops on the side of the road from time to time, feeling that the place was still the same as before. Zhao Rong walked faster, arrived in front of a store, and said with a smile: "Na, how is it, do you have the feeling of running here in the middle of the night." ”
The others looked at each other with a look of remembrance and sighed a few times.
Zhao Rong had a loud voice, walked to the old position when he entered the door, shouted to the starling brother to see who was coming, and then moved the bench to make it easier for others to sit down. The other two also looked over with a smile, the boss was busy grilling skewers, but the proprietress put down the small green vegetables in her hand and said in surprise: "Why did you come back?" ”
They looked familiar, and instead of rushing to sit down, they just stood by and reminisced. Jian Zhichun had already seen it from the time they came in, she was holding a dish in her hand and preparing a lo-mei platter.
She still remembers Xie Zhizhen.
Whether it is his appearance or temperament, he is a person who is difficult to forget, but what is a little surprising is that she thought that a successful person like Xie Zhizhen should not come to a place like Barbecue Street, but he seems to be very suitable here, and his temperament is not cut off from the lively atmosphere around him, but is very suitable and integrated.
Xie Zhizhen also found Jian Zhichun, with a slight look of surprise in his eyes, he walked over and said hello to Jian Zhichun seriously.
"Miss Jane. ”
Jian Zhichun answered, and sent the platter to the table at the door familiarly, took the two tables of ordered menus, and prepared the things that should be baked. After everything was done, Xie Zhizhen was still in place and asked, "I'm quite familiar with Starling here, why haven't I seen Miss Jian before?"
Jian Zhichun replied: "In this part-time job, Mr. Xie, what do you eat, in addition to the things on the menu, there are also a few lo-mei and special stir-fry that you can choose by yourself." ”
She took the menu and handed it to Zhao Rong, and the three of them looked at Xie Zhizhen and Jian Zhichun with interest, full of ridicule, Zhao Rong smiled: "No wonder you suddenly brought us here just now, it turned out that the beauty had an appointment!"
Xie Zhizhen smiled helplessly, "Zhao Rong, just now you said you wanted to come over and have a look." ”
Wen Jinshi glared at Zhao Rong, "Don't talk nonsense, in case you scare people." Then he turned his head and said to Jian Zhichun: "Hello, he has this temperament, I'm sorry." ”
Jian Zhichun didn't think there was anything, next to her, Xu Zhi ticked the dishes on the menu, and reported a few special dish names, and she wrote them down one by one.
After Jian Zhichun left, several of them were busy and began to interrogate, this question was really curious to them, after all, they were all in a club in college, and they stayed together for a long time, and they had a good relationship. But Xie Zhizhen, an outstanding young man with a wealthy family background and outstanding ability, and the most important thing is that he looks like an outstanding young man who has occupied the campus forum list all year round, is suspected of remaining single for four years in college.
The reason why it is suspicious is because there was unknown gossip in his junior year, and there was an appearance of a rumored girlfriend, but Xie Zhizhen did not admit it or deny it, and then the person went abroad to study and has not come back until now.
It's a very enjoyable thing to be friends with Xie Zhizhen, otherwise they wouldn't have maintained a good relationship until now, but now several of them are more or less committed to the family, but this person who looks the most should be with his girlfriend lives like a lonely old man, and they all have their hearts, wanting to see what kind of girl can accept Xie Zhizhen in the end.
"Lao Xie, how did you and this Miss Jian meet, do you have any feelings? ”
"Yes, we can help with the staff. Xu Zhi took a cup and pretended to be a microphone, cleaned it and put it in front of Xie Zhizhen, and let him speak.
Xie Zhizhen was silent for a moment, took the cup and poured warm water, and said, "I've only met once, but I just know each other, do you usually learn to gossip when you're so busy in the company?"
Wen Jinshi raised her eyes and looked over, Jian Zhichun was coming over with a pot of flower nails, and she was busy moving the kettle on the table to make it easier for Jian Zhichun to place the dishes.
"Thank you, Miss Jane. ”
Jian Zhichun answered, and after putting away the sixtieth armor, he continued to be busy, and several other people seemed to think that it was a little rude to ridicule others like this, so they quickly changed the topic again. The reason why they returned to Jiangcheng this time was also because of the 20th anniversary celebration of the Rock Climbing Club tomorrow, and the president of this session invited them to come over to attend the party, so they took this opportunity to get together.
At that time, they were a magnificent session of the University of Science and Technology, with academic bulls who published many papers in national core journals, "big V" who had tens of millions of fans from the media, and people who started their own businesses in their senior year and researched a children's smart toy that set off a boom.
This time, a few people got together, and it was inevitable that they would be brought with them to chat, chatting about who was promoted and raised, or getting married and having children, and among them, Xie Zhizhen was the senior who started a business, did not rely on the family to get an investment and quickly developed a toy and gained a firm foothold.
But why does this great god never eat the fireworks of the world, even in the process of interacting with him, they occasionally feel that they don't understand too much. I only felt that Xie Zhizhen's body was covered with the mist that diffused on the window glass in the winter night, and it should disappear as soon as it dawned tomorrow, but in the end, I realized that the night was too long.
"It's only been three years, why does it feel like it's been so long. Zhao Rong couldn't eat a few beers, but he kept shouting to open another bottle.
Xu knew that the amount of wine was good, and the wine was good, so he silently put some wine aside and poured a glass of water for Zhao Rong, but this meal had just begun, and Zhao Rong's voice became more and more blurred when he said it later, making the guests at the other table look at this side incessantly. The starlings and sisters-in-law were amused, and carefully prepared a crazy roasted wings for them.
At about twelve o'clock, the wine was drunk, most of the guests left, the street became more and more deserted, Zhao Rong fell directly on Xu Zhi's shoulder, Wen Jinshi's eyes were red, and he couldn't say the aura.
Xie Zhizhen said: "It's almost, I'll send you back now, and I'll pick you up to school tomorrow morning." ”
Zhao Rong muttered, "No, no." ”
Wen Jinshi sighed, he really hasn't grown up for so many years, "This amount of alcohol doesn't match his verbose personality, Zhizhen, you don't have to pick us up tomorrow, your company is also busy, and we don't know the road, but you have to remember to arrive early tomorrow night." ”
Xie Zhizhen didn't refute after thinking about it, he helped to help people, and finally entered the house to settle the bill, he glanced at Jian Zhichun, who was packing up his clothes and preparing to leave, and asked, "Where does Miss Jian's family live?" It's late, I'll send you back." ”
"Don't bother, I still have a part-time job to go. Jian Zhichun glanced at her phone, she just took the time to look at the group and took another job.
"Part-time job so late?"
Jian Zhichun's eyebrows were faint, and he was carrying his bag, "Well, there is time anyway." ”
Xie Zhizhen admired: "Miss Jane's energy is really extraordinary, then you pay attention to safety alone, and I will send them back now." ”
Jian Zhichun quietly watched Xie Zhizhen help people into the car, the headlights illuminated the road ahead, and the surroundings were deserted, thoroughly implementing the chill of this winter night.
She also left, her figure shuttling in the moonlight and lights, her back gloomy.
