Chapter 47: The Qixi Festival and the Bear Child
After the opening hours of the Qixi Festival, Xia Xiaotian waited for Qiao Siyao to change back into his clothes and closed the store door, "Are you very tired today!?"
Qiao Siyao was lowering her head and playing with a small stone under her feet, "Fortunately, I am not tired when I am doing farm work." ”
At ten o'clock in the evening, the breeze was blowing, the sun was shining on the streets for a day, the heat was gradually fading, the moon was hanging a smiling face in the sky, the street lamps on both sides of Haibin West Road were lit one by one, and a few moths were flying under each lamp, winding up and down, overlapping and entwining, occasionally pounced on the bulb, and after a second, flew away again.
Under the street lamp, a man and a woman who had not eaten dinner were walking forward one after the other.
From time to time, there are beautiful women who are hugged by handsome men, passing by the two of them, or coming head-on, and the couples watch the boy walk in front and the girl follows behind with her head down, all thinking that the two have quarreled.
Wearing an old T-shirt and long slacks from a few years ago, the girl occasionally raised her head, and her bright and soft eyes timidly looked at the boy in front of her.
"What do you want to eat today?" Xia Xiaotian seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Qiao Siyao behind him.
"Otherwise, I'd better go back and eat noodles!" Qiao Siyao whispered.
Of course Xia Xiaotian won't go home to eat white noodles on Valentine's Day as she wishes?
Passing by the door of a small supermarket, Xia Xiaotian suddenly asked, "Do you want to drink water?"
"I'm not thirsty. Qiao Siyao looked up at Xia Xiaotian, and when she saw him looking at her expressionlessly, she shook her head and refused.
Xia Xiaotian nodded "oh" and walked into the supermarket to buy two bottles of mineral water.
opened a bottle of water and handed it to Qiao Siyao, only then did he open his bottle of water and drank half of it, this kind of work intensity was really tiring, and he kept talking, and his saliva was almost dry.
The problem is that Qiao Siyao, the girl of the family, actually said that she was not tired!
It's really infuriating!
Xia Xiaotian continued to walk forward, and there was a fruit shop in front of him, "Do you want to eat Sydney!"
"Don't. ”
Qiao Siyao shook her head again and refused.
Xia Xiaotian nodded "oh", and went into the store to buy a few more pears, as well as apples, bananas and other fruits.
Finally, I finally found a staple food shop that was still open, which was a French restaurant, Xia Xiaotian pointed to the store and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"
Qiao Siyao raised her head and looked at the name of the store, "Xiangfa Restaurant".
His eyes finally stayed on Xia Xiaotian's face...
"Do you want to eat or not?"
"I don't know, do you want to eat it!" Qiao Siyao stomped her foot, a little at a loss.
Xia Xiaotian was speechless for a while, and glanced left and right, at this point, even on Valentine's Day, staple food stores are basically closed.
"If you eat, go in, if you don't eat, you will continue to walk, what do you mean that you don't know whether to eat or not?"
Xia Xiaotian saw that Qiao Siyao lowered her head and was unmoved, so she simply walked into the store.
Qiao Siyao also walked into the store.
There are only three tables in the shop, but the tables are large and there is a row of chairs in front of them, but now there are almost no people eating, and all the chairs are empty.
There is a big hole in the middle of the table, there is an iron plate in front of the hole, the chef is standing in front of the iron plate in a chef's uniform, Xia Xiaotian found a table and sat down, and said to Qiao Siyao who was standing behind him, "Come here, sit next to me." ”
"Oh" Qiao Siyao nodded, walked to the outside of the seat, walked in, and sat down.
At this time, the waiter standing at the door took the initiative to hand the two of them a menu, "Sir, hello, all couples have a 10% discount on consumption in the store today, you see, this is a couple's package, do you want to have a package?"
Xia Xiaotian followed the waiter's finger and looked at the contents of the couple's suit, "Well, that's good, then let's have a copy of this package!"
"Okay, wait a minute. After the waiter finished speaking, he walked to the back kitchen and prepared the ingredients for the two of them.
Soon, the ingredients of the two were brought to the chef in front of the iron plate.
Xia Xiaotian watched the chef start cooking the ingredients in front of him, and thought to himself, "It looks pretty good!"
Qiao Siyao, who was sitting next to her, also raised her head, propped her elbows on the table, held her round and smooth chin with both hands, and watched the chef seriously as if performing acrobatics on the iron plate fried rice, grilled shrimp, and roasted beef.
After a while, the roast beef was brought to the two by the chef, "Please use it slowly!"
The chef motioned for the two to finish eating.
Xia Xiaotian watched the chef from making it to cutting the beef one by one with a shovel, and frowned, the chef didn't even put a little salt, can this be delicious?
However, the beef is not delicious when it is cold, Xia Xiaotian still picks up a piece of beef and tries it!
The beef exudes a marinated flavor with chewing in the mouth, and the taste is relatively fresh, and with the marinated flavor, the smell of the beef is just removed
It turned out to be already brine. No wonder the chef doesn't add spices.
"This beef is good, you taste it!" Xia Xiaotian picked up another piece of beef and put it in Qiao Siyao's bowl.
"Beauty, your boyfriend is so good to you, today on Valentine's Day, I cooked here for a night, only to see your boyfriend serving dishes to his girlfriend, and other boys said how much they love girls, but they haven't even done this most basic thing. Although the chef was wearing a mask, it didn't affect his desire to communicate with Xia Xiaotian.
Qiao Siyao's face was flushed when the chef said it, and she lowered her head and ate the beef cubes that Xia Xiaotian gave her.
The chef thought that Qiao Siyao was shy, so he said, "Young man, you have to cherish it, there are not many girls like your girlfriend who blush when they are praised." ”
"Well, I will. Xia Xiaotian snorted and said. But unexpectedly, the chef continued, "The young man nowadays is really thick-skinned, and I saw several of them today, kissing in front of me as if no one was around." Hey, the times have changed, if it was in the past, maybe the parents would be poked in the back, so shameless, shameless. If I were the parents of these girls, I might have beaten my daughter half to death. ”
"Haha, if it happened to me, it wouldn't be the same! The current family is still very spoiled by children!" Xia Xiaotian only chatted with the cook.
"Who's to say it isn't! That's why there are so many bear children now. The boss listened to Xia Xiaotian's three views and was quite positive, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
At this time, a small child walked into the store, who looked to be only in his teens. He was dressed in a neat school uniform, with a watermelon head, a small braid tied behind him, looking slightly fat, and holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.
The little boy held the flowers, first looked left and right at the environment in the store, and finally saw Xia Xiaotian and Qiao Siyao sitting at the dining table eating, and his eyes lit up.
Hurriedly ran to Xia Xiaotian and Qiao Siyao's side, the little boy saw that Qiao Siyao was easier to speak, and said to Qiao Siyao's commanding tone, "Sister, this is the most beautiful rose I personally went to the mountain to pick this morning, you asked your boyfriend to buy it for you!"
Qiao Siyao had never encountered this situation, and turned her head to look at Xia Xiaotian.
Xia Xiaotian heard that the little boy dared to order Qiao Siyao, and his heart was on fire.
"Find someone else to buy it, we don't buy it. ”
"Mom said that boys who don't buy flowers for their girlfriends today don't love their girlfriends, and if you don't buy them, you're playing hooligan!"
"Call me a hooligan? Then I won't buy it. Don't disturb my brother's meal. Xia Xiaotian said to the little boy.
"I won't! I'll spit in your bowl if you don't buy it!" said the little boy, eager to try.
"Waiter, this kid is disturbing our meal. Don't you care?" Xia Xiaotian is here to consume, although the waiter doesn't want to pay attention to these people who come to sell flowers, but if the customer complains, they will still come over to help drive them away.
At this time, the waiter who had just served the menu to Xia Xiaotian and the two came forward and began to pull the little boy away, of course, the little boy also heard what Xia Xiaotian said, so he began to spit on Xia Xiaotian's body, but because he was still young, his strength was not very great, but he vomited on his clothes.
"What are you doing, who told you to touch my son, be careful that I will go to the court to sue you for child trafficking!" At this time, a woman walked in outside the point and scolded the waiter, Xia Xiaotian and the others.
When the little boy saw his mother come forward, he got even more carried away and grimaced at the waiter.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but your child is disturbing our customers. The waiter patiently explained.
"What do you mean by disturbing your customers, aren't we also your customers?" the woman argued.
"Okay, then you can find a place to sit and take care of your child. The waiter stepped aside and made a gesture of please.
The woman raised her head proudly, glanced at Xia Xiaotian, and when she passed by Xia Xiaotian and the two, she snorted, and finally sat down on the seat of the table on the side of the store.
The waiter waited for the two women to sit down, and then handed the menu to the two of them, "Hello, this is the menu, what do you want to eat?"
When you open the menu, there are only two dishes on one page: "Beluga Caviar Salad 1200 per serving" and "Orange French foie gras 1088 per serving".
The woman's face changed slightly, an ordinary restaurant, but the price is so dark!"Mom, hurry up, I'm hungry!"
The little boy saw that his mother would not turn the page when he turned it, so he hurriedly urged.
"Let's go home and eat well, the food here is not delicious, baby you definitely don't like to eat. The woman said to the boy with an embarrassed face.
"This beef is delicious, Si Yao eat more. Xia Xiaotian picked up the beef and put it in Qiao Siyao's bowl again, and said loudly.
Qiao Siyao didn't understand why Xia Xiaotian suddenly said so loudly, turned her head to look at Xia Xiaotian, and saw that he was blinking at herself.
"......" Qiao Siyao lowered her head again, eating the fried rice and beef in the bowl, she didn't know the price of the dishes in this store, and she didn't know why the women didn't want to eat in the store anymore.
It's just that when the woman went out with the child in her arms, the child cried and struggled in the woman's arms, and the roses in the woman's hands were so noisy that he knocked off a lot of petals.
