Since arriving in the capital, the two have not sat down and eaten together.

The two girls walked in front of each other talking and laughing, and Wu Tao happily followed behind easily. While walking, you can enjoy the beauty.

Without Wu Tao in the middle, An Rong and Zhao Li also chatted very well.

After all, they are classmates who have been together since junior high school, and An Rong is obviously not as vigilant and wary of Zhao Li as the other girls around Wu Tao.

said that he would invite him to dinner, but Wu Tao followed him to the end and came to an old capital mutton hot pot restaurant in Wudaokou.

The store looks ordinary, a little antique, and the hot pot inside is also a traditional copper hot pot. The guy is steaming hot, and it makes people very appetizing at first glance.

"I miss Beijiang's strings of incense, so let's eat hot pot tonight!" An Rong gave such a reason.

Zhao Li happily agreed, but there was nothing to do with Wu Tao.

When they walked into the store, they found that all but two large round tables were empty. It's not very popular!

However, even so, the boss behind the counter didn't take the initiative to greet him, but just said in a pure Beijing accent: "Please inside, how many?"

"Boss, three!" An Rong replied loudly, and followed to a four-person table by the window.

A table and two benches, all brushed with tung oil, are simple and rustic.

An Rong and Zhao Li sat on a stool together, letting Wu Tao sit alone. Soon, the boss who was washing the white apron came over with a small book and said, "Three little friends, what do you want?"

Wu Tao stretched out his hand, "Boss, show us the menu." ”

The boss turned around and pointed to the old menu on the wall and said, "It's all there, you just have to look at it." ”

This is obviously the attitude of dismissing outsiders.

Instead, An Rong turned her head and glanced at Wu Tao, and then said to the boss: "No need, boss, I said you remember." ”

While An Rong was ordering, Wu Tao looked around boredly.

There are only two tables in the store, and it seems that they are in a group. It looks very ordinary, and even a little down-and-out.

A table of about a dozen people gathered around a big hot pot, there were no meat dishes, and the beer they drank was the cheapest kind without a brand.

But this did not prevent a circle of people from chatting and shouting, crying and laughing.

Maybe it's from the north.

Wu Tao knew that there was such a group of people, living in basements, doing small odd jobs, exposed to the wind and sun, like duckweed floating in the capital.

But they are people with ideals and perseverance, in order to one day mix up their personal appearance, return to their hometown with good clothes, and return to their hometown.

For this group, Wu Tao can't say anything.

So although I felt that the people at the two tables were a little nervous, they didn't show any special emotions.

Soon, the huge copper pot was moved, and the boss skillfully added charcoal, added water, and fiddled left and right, and in a short time, the heat came out.

"Boss, authentic!" Wu Tao praised him, which made the boss smile, and immediately stopped treating him as a foreigner.

Taking advantage of the boss's time to serve the hot pot ingredients, Wu Tao asked by the way: "Boss, what kind of people are they?" They are crying and laughing, and they look very scary. ”

The boss said in a familiar tone: "Who else can it be? People who have drifted north for a few years, have achieved nothing, and are ready to go back to their hometowns! They are not like you, they are all from famous universities, and they can serve golden jobs as soon as they graduate." ”

Zhao Li couldn't help but be curious: "Hey, boss, can you tell that we are a famous university?" When she said this, Zhao Li deliberately bit the word famous university very hard.

Because in her opinion, her Central Academy of Fine Arts is not a famous brand.

Otherwise, Qiu Xiaotian would not have gone back to Beijiang Middle School to become an art teacher.

The middle-aged boss looked at each other, "Why can't you see it?" I have opened this store here, and I have seen more famous college students every day. I have seen a lot, and I can see which school it is. ”

"It's really fake!" Zhao Li suddenly laughed, pointing to herself: "Then guess?"

The middle-aged boss may really have two ideas, so even if he saw Zhao Li's consideration, he still did not lose the venue: "This little girl is from Tsinghua Garden at first glance, but I haven't seen such a beautiful porcelain figure in Tsinghua Garden for many years." ”

An Rong smiled kindly, which was regarded as approval.

The boss immediately looked at Wu Tao, "Look at this little brother, it should also be from Tsinghua Garden." ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Li asked in a special way.

The boss pondered: "To be honest, this little brother doesn't look like a student, but like a big boss." But to harvest this girl's heart, at least it has to be from Tsinghua Garden. ”

Zhao Li pursed her mouth, "Boss, you didn't see it, it was clearly inferred." ”

Seeing that Wu Tao didn't deny it, the boss suddenly became more confident, "What's the matter, I'm right?"

"Then guess me!" Zhao Li straightened her chest unconvinced.

The bosses narrowed their eyes, showed a thoughtful look, and then clapped their hands and said, "You're afraid that it's from the east, right?"

Hey, it's a god.

At this point, in Zhao Li's convincing eyes, the boss greeted him and left proudly.

Zhao Li said with a puzzled expression: "How did he see it?"

Wu Tao sandwiched a piece of lamb and soaked it in the hot pot and said, "Look at your fingers, a clear-eyed person will know it at a glance." ”

Zhao Li didn't even care about eating the hot pot, and touched her calloused and particularly prominent right middle finger and index finger and said: "I don't want it to be so ugly, but the workload is there every day, and if you don't create for a day, readers across the country won't agree!"

Wu Tao said while eating: "So letting you represent the violent comic and serve as the deputy creative director of Tianxing Game Company is a transformation in itself. If you do it well, you can slowly put down the pen in the future and relax a little bit. ”

"I forgot if you didn't mention it, I came to you this time because of this!" Zhao Li was particularly excited: "Recently, the game company has been urging me to be creative, and I have been blank here, and I have thought about it a lot, but I feel that it is not feasible, and I really can't start, and I can't hand in my homework......"

Wu Tao ate authentic mutton shabu with relish and said, "This thing is too simple, as for worrying about it?"

As he was talking, the people at the previous two tables suddenly burst into tears.

Wu Tao was about to give Zhao Li some inspiration, but his train of thought was interrupted.

In broad daylight, why did a group of adults cry like this?

But looking at the wine bottle on the table again, Wu Tao was also relieved. After drinking in place, the emotions in my heart began to vent outward.

Some people covered their faces and cried, some people cried on the table, some people hugged other people's necks and cried, and some people quietly wiped their tears without saying a word.

It's also pitiful.

Wu Tao was about to retract his gaze, and suddenly his mind was confused, hey, that guy who didn't say a word and wiped his tears, he looked like an alien, how could he be familiar?

The next moment, Wu Tao slapped his thigh, fate!
