Chapter 105: Rubbing Rice
The restaurant they were going to was not crowded on the side of the road in a row with other restaurants. Rather, it is particularly unsociable and sits on a landscape.
There was just such a restaurant in front, so Han Jue was not worried about the plot in the funny comics, that is, when he was about to go, he was finally taken by Xia Yuan to a fly restaurant next to the luxury restaurant.
This large tree is planted around the restaurant, and in autumn the leaves have not yet fallen off, and only some of the leaves are gradually turning yellow in the large green patch. But this innocuous loneliness does not affect the heat of this restaurant in the slightest.
Approaching the restaurant, Han Jue could already see the customers dining.
On the first and second floors, you can see no customers dining, only customers on the third floor.
Judging by the age of the customer, it is not monotonous.
There are young people in leather jackets and jeans, savvy ladies in professional attire, and elegant old people in Tang costumes prove that this is not all young people's paradise.
Judging from the dress code, there does not seem to be a hard and fast rule that you cannot enter without formal attire.
Han Jue looked at himself in a dark blue thin sweater and black slacks on his upper body, and he was relieved, and he was not worried about being stopped.
The sun is getting closer and closer to noon, but it is not scorching. Everyone sat in the sun in the open air, looking petty.
There are no buildings around this park, the hustle and bustle is far away, and the air is as fresh as the ink has not dried Huaxia coins, ensuring that customers do not have to worry about cars passing by when eating, bringing the dust to the food and finally eating it in their mouths.
When Han Jue followed Xia Yuan to the restaurant, three or five came up to him, and they came out of the restaurant, and they didn't look happy when they were depressed.
Han Jue wondered, [Could it be that this restaurant tastes terrible?]
His pace slowed down a bit, and he quietly observed the expression on the other side.
Four of the five people were very depressed, and the last one was on the phone, and said helplessly: "No need to come, no need to come, you have to make an appointment a day in advance." Let's eat it in another house. ”
Hearing that he looked in such style, Han Jue's expectations for being put down quickly rose a lot.
"I don't know what bad luck happened to the owner of this restaurant, and asked a friend of mine to be the manager. Then it became one of the strongholds of our group. Xia Yuan also heard the words coming towards him, and turned his head to talk to Han Jue about this restaurant.
"It's good. Han Jue pursed his lips and moistened his lips and said.
Entering the restaurant, the service staff at the door saw Xia Yuan, and did not ask if he had made an appointment, so he bowed slightly to welcome Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan nodded, and walked straight to the passage.
The group of people who had just eaten the closed door soup saw Xia Yuan Han Jue enter safely, so they sighed and turned away in disappointment.
The inside is not fully arranged, the tables are directly separated by shelves, and the shelves are either placed in antique style or unique works of art. Or a book, or a plant.
The voices of the people inside were not restrained, but they were not loud.
Not far from each table is a waiter. There are girls with beautiful faces in cheongsam, and there are also young men with good manners.
Han Jue had never been to this kind of place, although he was not timid, but he was faintly affected by the peaceful environment, and his mind was calmed down a lot.
Xia Yuan took Han Jue and walked towards the stairs, the place should not be on the first floor.
"Has he already arrived?" asked Han Jue.
This [he] refers to the prospective landlord.
Xia Yuan looked at his watch and said casually, "It's been here a long time ago." ”
Han Jue didn't hear Xia Yuan say anything like being late along the way, thinking that time was still at ease. As a result, seeing Xia Yuan's late appearance and disapproving it now made Han Jue, who didn't like to be late, very uncomfortable.
"Then it's not good to let him wait for us alone?" Han Jue said helplessly.
Xia Yuan turned his head slightly and said, "What are you worried about, he is not the only one waiting for us, but also my group of friends." ”
"What?" Han Jue was shocked, "You have a party with a group of friends, so what am I doing here?" ”
"I'll bring you over for dinner. Xia Yuan said without looking back.
Han Jue's eyes were sharp and he looked at Xia Yuan like a falcon.
"Then I'll show you your prospective landlord. He doesn't know that you are going to rent his house yet, so take him to meet him first and let him have an impression of you, so that it will be easier to rent a house later. Xia Yuan said: "If you make him feel the right appetite, he may not charge you rent." ”
"For appetite, why are you so ambiguous?" Han Jue frowned.
"Are you homophobic?" Xia Yuan glanced at Han Jue and said leisurely, "Before you meet the destined him, you'd better not jump to conclusions about your sexual orientation." ”
Han Jue ignored Xia Yuan's ridicule, brought the topic back to the topic, and asked, "There are so many people, how can I recognize my prospective landlord later?"
At this point, they were almost on the third floor.
The third floor is an open-air dining environment, and the conversation of customers is louder than on the first and second floors.
Xia Yuan stopped at the last step, turned his head to Han Jue and said, "The one who looks out of place with everyone is the one." ”
Then go out into the sun.
Han Jue followed Xia Yuan to the third floor, which was open-air, but the sunshade equipment could be selectively turned on on the edge of each table.
They finally came to the corner table, which was also the noisiest table that Han Jue had felt along the way.
There are about a dozen people at the table in front of me, and the table is in a long shape, with more than enough capacity and does not seem crowded.
The people at the table included a decadent young man who was about the same age as Xia Yuan Han Jue, and a middle-aged uncle with a serious face who looked like he was of foreign origin. The rest, there are more calm faces, vaguely white-haired young people, and there are also uncles who are giggling in pajamas, but abandoned by the hairline, these people are very difficult to judge their age, and the people in the middle who are in the age blur often reveal their age in exchange for suspicious eyes.
Han Jue took a deep breath, then looked at Xia Yuan with a solemn gaze, and said word by word with his eyes: [There are too many people who feel out of place in this girl!]
Xia Yuan ignored Han Jue's eyes, tilted his head to signal Han Jue to follow, and walked over without a sound.
Xia Yuan's presence made those people discover her arrival at once.
"Yo, here?"
After they found Xia Yuan, some said hello, some turned a blind eye, and some directly set their eyes on Han Jue she brought.
Xia Yuan smiled and sat down in the empty seat.
There were already a lot of dishes on the table, Xia Yuan took off his coat as soon as he sat down, poured himself a glass of beer first, drank it dry as if he had quenched his thirst, and then began to move his chopsticks frequently with a comfortable face.
You can sit down and eat, maybe that's why she likes to be late.
Xia Yuan sat down and ate by himself, and did not greet Han Jue. Han Jue saw that there was still a vacant seat next to her, so he also sat down under the gaze of a group of people.
Although everyone was still talking, the few people who weren't talking looked at Han Jue with curious eyes.
They had a very casual dinner, as long as they yelled in the group, the people who were not busy would go to the stronghold, and skillfully eat as if they were going to the cafeteria.
It's just that today Xia Yuan suddenly said in the group that she would bring someone over at that time.
Others curiously asked who to bring, and Xia Yuan said that they would know when the time came.
It is very common to bring new faces to let friends know each other during this kind of dinner, which can help them in temper or interests, make friends with each other or integrate into the circle.
But this common thing happens to Xia Yuan very rarely, she has never had the impression that she would have been, if she hadn't reciprocated kindness to the new faces introduced by others and became good friends, everyone would have thought that she wanted to close off and lock up the circle and exclude newcomers from forming small groups.
So when Xia Yuan said that he wanted to bring someone here today, everyone was shocked, and they gathered in this [Canteen No. 3] in the magic capital, intending to see who Xia Yuan brought.
When Xia Yuan was as late as ever, they speculated one after another, guessing that Xia Yuan brought men and women, inside and outside the circle, there was a good impression and no good feeling, and there were a lot of balabalas.
When they saw that Xia Yuan was bringing Han Jue, who had recently made a fuss on the Internet, some of them were curious, and some of them shook their heads regretfully.
They looked at Han Jue, but Han Jue learned from Xia Yuan and buried himself in eating, so he was welcome.
To be likable, such a thing is almost insulated from Han Jue. Not to mention pleasing strangers. If Xia Yuan made the situation clear from the beginning and told him the key words [a bunch of strangers], [eating], and [mixed face familiar], Han Jue promised that he would not get into Xia Yuan's thief car.
At this time, Han Jue kept in mind his position, he was here to eat. Not to mention, these dishes are really not bad.
Han Jue thought silently that his money was enough to eat a few meals like this, and the answer was very sad.
So he ate silently, listening to these people drinking, calmly and meanly or slightly drunk, talking about the big and small people in the circle, and talking about some behind-the-scenes things that Han Jue didn't understand at all.
For example, the young man with white hair said that when he interviewed a famous singer, he found that the other party was even worse than the character circulating in the circle.
The uncle in loose cartoon pajamas said that he had a song that was covered by the rookie in the draft, and he sang so much that he earned more than he did in commercial performances everywhere, and he was angry.
Although Han Jue didn't know who he was talking about when he listened to the content, he also secretly listened to it with relish, and he was very happy.
However, his plan to leave quietly after a meal was disrupted.
A girl who was about the same age as Xia Yuan, had long soft hair, and was particularly temperamental, after looking at Han Jue for a long time, she suddenly said to Han Jue, "You look so quiet." ”
The topic of everyone's conversation quietly stopped, and their eyes immediately focused on Han Jue.
The gaze of strangers during the meal would make Han Jue feel awkward.
Han Jue felt that Xia Yuan beside him also stopped eating, wiped the corners of his mouth, and waited for Han Jue to deal with it as if watching a good show.
It's not the first time Han Jue has heard this, in his previous life, Han Jue, who was introverted by nature, when he went out to dinner with his girlfriend, the first thing he said when he was greeted was often this sentence - "You look so quiet", "You don't seem to be very talkative".
[Nonsense, I don't even know you, what do you expect me to say?] Han Jue would complain like this in his heart.
Faced with this situation, he used to have a girlfriend to help him cope, but now he is not sociable and can only deal with it alone.
Under the gaze of everyone, Han Jue sighed in his heart, wiped his mouth, took a sip of white water, and looked at the temperament girl. 8)
