Chapter 59: Hot Pot
The hot pot restaurant is not far from the hotel, but Bai Xiaojiu is not tall and walks slowly, and it took some time for the two of them to walk over.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Zheng Qing holding Zhang Jueyu standing on the left side of the store door, talking and laughing face to face.
Zheng Qing faced Bai Xiaojiu sideways, but Zhang Jueyu was facing face, and saw Bai Xiaojiu coming over at a glance.
When his eyes swept over Qi Jingchen, Zhang Jueyu looked up and down with that kind of secretly comparative look, and with a depressed look on his face, he dragged Zheng Qing and lowered his head to remind her.
Zheng Qing was reminded by him to turn around, and when he saw Bai Xiaojiu, he grinned very happily and kept waving his hands.
With a wave of her hand, she saw Qi Jingchen walking beside her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to squeeze her eyebrows at Bai Xiaojiu.
For such a long time, I have been with her a lot, Bai Xiaojiu doesn't need her to speak, she can understand, her eyes are full, "Wow, it's very handsome." Ah, yes. Don't let it go. ”
"It smells so good. The taste of hot pot is completely different from ours. It smells spicy. Bai Xiaojiu, who was originally full of heart, but as soon as he approached the hot pot restaurant, this smell instantly distracted Qi Jingchen.
"Your Majesty?" Zheng Qing took Zhang Jueyu by the hand, and jumped in front of Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen, as if disgusted that they were walking too slowly, first glanced at them in disgust, and pointed to Qi Jingchen's side.
Qi Jingchen was not a little dissatisfied, and smiled at her politely, "In the middle of the water?" his gaze turned to Zhang Jueyu, "Absolute zero?"
"Yes. You're finally happy to see a real person, aren't you?" Zhang Jueyu also smiled politely at him, but when he spoke, he swept his gaze to Bai Xiaojiu.
Qi Jingchen understood it at a glance, laughed very happily, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." ”
"I'm dying of hunger! The mandarin duck pot has been ordered, and a few dishes have been ordered by the way. But there are too many people inside, I'm afraid you won't find it, so the two of us are waiting for you at the door. ”
The business of this hot pot restaurant is very good, there are a lot of people in it, the tables are very crowded, almost crowded people sit together, and there are not many places to put their feet.
And there are also food trucks loaded with dishes at each table, like a gossip array.
Zheng Qing took Zhang Jueyu and walked in front to lead the way, Bai Xiaojiu was afraid that Qi Jingchen would not adapt to this environment, so he had no choice but to pull the edge of his short sleeves and motioned to follow her.
Qi Jingchen looked at so many people in the store and was still a little emotional, and was thinking about how to get off his feet, when he was dragged by her like this, he suddenly became stupid again.
Like a husky who was pulled on a leash, he honestly followed her and moved forward little by little.
The four of them were lucky, it happened to be a table against the wall, although the four of them sitting on three sides may be a little crowded, but it is much more comfortable than squeezing with people on the side of the aisle.
Zheng Qing and Zhang Jueyu sat down on the opposite side of the wall, leaving the two sides facing each other for Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen.
"I ordered some dishes, but you know I don't like offal. So you still have to order. Zheng Qing didn't sit down and didn't look at Qi Jingchen, and pushed the order menu on the table to Bai Xiaojiu, looking forward to it.
Zheng Qing is different from Bai Xiaojiu, she has a childhood boyfriend, and she is not Yan Kong, even if she thinks Qi Jingchen is very handsome, in comparison, she is much more handsome than her boyfriend.
But she wasn't interested in looking at Qi Jingchen a few more times, her eyes were full of hot pot.
When Zhang Jueyu saw Qi Jingchen for the first time, he felt nervous in his heart, not because he was afraid that he would attract Zheng Qing, but because he had to admit that Qi Jingchen was really handsome, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Now seeing that Zheng Qing doesn't look at him, the feeling of discomfort in his heart is gone.
"Do you have anything you don't eat, or do you particularly like to eat?" Bai Xiaojiu glanced at the menu and added a few things he liked to eat, only then did he remember that Qi Jingchen was still sitting opposite.
"I don't know what to eat, you order. I'm casual. ”
Qi Jingchen's words aroused Zheng Qing's curiosity, and he turned his head to look at him, "Is this kind of hot pot also over there?"
"We also have hot pot over there, but it's not spicy. The hot pot you have here is delicious when you smell it. ”
Qi Jingchen's words made Zheng Qing cover his mouth and laugh, and was knocked on the head by Zhang Jueyu, and turned his head to glare at him.
"There's a big difference between the North and the South. You eat it first and then talk about the difference. Compared with the somewhat childish Zheng Qing and the cold Bai Xiaojiu, Zhang Jueyu is much more calm and reliable, "The main thing is that you like to eat beef and mutton over there, do you eat offal?"
"Beef and mutton must be eaten, what do you mean by offal?" Qi Jingchen smelled the smell of hot pot, and the girl in his heart sat opposite again, a little far away, and his mind calmed down at this moment, it was full of food.
"Goose intestines, hairy belly, yellow throat. These are super cool. It was so crispy and delicious that I ordered them all. Yang Yang doesn't eat these, we do. Without waiting for Zhang Jueyu to answer, Bai Xiaojiu picked up the menu and handed it to the nearby waiter, answering for him by the way.
"I haven't eaten it, I'll try it later. Qi Jingchen swallowed his saliva, feeling hungry, and his eyes finally stopped chasing Bai Xiaojiu tightly.
"Ask Xiao Jiu to teach you how to blanch vegetables in a while. Hot pot, there is something particular. Zheng Qing helped Zhang Jueyu open the oil dish jar and adjust the seasoning, "That's right, my name is Zheng Qing, and my nickname is Yangyang." He is my boyfriend Zhang Jueyu, nicknamed Xiaoyu. Don't call us anything central and zero, it's stupid. ”
Qi Jingchen nodded and laughed a little embarrassedly, and repeated, "Yangyang, Xiao Yu?"
Zhang Jueyu was about to help Zheng Qing get the salt shaker not far away, when he heard this, he took a deep breath speechlessly and kicked her under the table.
Before Zheng Qing could react, he spoke too bluntly, and when he kicked him like this, he turned his head and glared at him angrily, "What are you doing?"
Bai Xiaojiu laughed sullenly, she knew too well that Zheng Qing sometimes couldn't talk more than her brain.
But it can also be seen that Qi Jingchen's temper is not bad, at least Zheng Qing spoke like this, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction.
"Do you usually eat coriander? I'll help you mix it. Bai Xiaojiu saw Qi Jingchen staring at the bottles and cans on the table in a daze, and took his earthen porcelain bowl, "Do you want more garlic?"
Most of the hot pots in northern cities are dipped dishes with sesame sauce or peanut butter, and Qi Jingchen has really never eaten sesame oil dishes.
At this time, I was a little happy to see Bai Xiaojiu help him do it, and I felt that she was not only cute but also very considerate, and my heart began to itch again.
"I don't like cilantro. As soon as he said this, he regretted it a little, would it seem that he was a bit picky eater when he spoke like this?
Qi Jingchen bit his lip and quietly observed Bai Xiaojiu's face, but he didn't see anything, but carefully dipped the saucer for him, and his heart began to feel good again.
"I didn't add coriander to you, I added some green onions. I heard that you eat green onions in the north very well. If the garlic is not enough, you need to add some salt yourself? Bai Xiaojiu stood up, stretched out his hand in front of him to put the oil dish adjusted for him, and said again, "If you think it's too spicy, you can try adding some vinegar." ”
Bai Xiaojiu stood up like this, even though he was wearing a loose T-shirt, but his hand stretched forward, highlighting his figure at once.
Qi Jingchen couldn't wait to take a few more looks, and felt that she was perfect from top to bottom, from inside to out, and everything was in line with his preferences.
But there were other people here, and looking at it like this a few times always gave people a bad feeling, so he hurriedly reached out to get the bowl.
This time he really inadvertently brushed the tips of her fingers, and the temperature of her fingers made the tips of his heart tremble again, and he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and slid them past the back of her hand, and sat down with the roots of his ears slightly flushed.
Eating hot pot in summer, the air conditioner was on and the fan was blowing in the store, and when Qi Jingchen's fingers brushed Bai Xiaojiu's fingers, the cool breeze of the fan blowing the air conditioner happened to pass by Bai Xiaojiu.
The cool wind distracted her, but this time she didn't notice that Qi Jingchen took the opportunity to touch the back of her hand.
However, Zheng Qinggang finished talking to Zhang Jueyu, raised his head and saw Qi Jingchen's ears reddening, and looked at them with some curiosity.
Zhang Jueyu has much more eyesight than Zheng Qing, and besides, everyone is a man, he understands Qi Jingchen better.
At a glance, he knew that Qi Jingchen was interested in Bai Xiaojiu, and when Zheng Qing was talking to him, he happened to glance back and forth with a hidden gaze.
Finding that Zheng Qing was staring at Qi Jingchen's ears, Zhang Jueyu raised his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders and leaned against him, "What do you want to drink?"
Zheng Qing and Qi Jingchen are also meeting for the first time, even if she has a warm personality and is familiar with herself, she is a little embarrassed to be hugged by her boyfriend so intimately, poked his waist, signaled him to let go, and said in her mouth: "Whatever Xiao Jiu drinks, I will drink." ”
"I drink, do you drink too?" Bai Xiaojiu had eaten with the two of them several times, and was already familiar with the intimacy of these two, so he replied blindly, and then looked at Qi Jingchen, "I heard that you drink very well in the north, do you want to drink?"
Qi Jingchen was stunned, looked at Bai Xiaojiu several times, didn't know how to answer, thought about it, and shook his head honestly, "I'm allergic to alcohol, don't drink." ”
Bai Xiaojiu actually doesn't like men to drink very much, it doesn't matter if it's her boyfriend or not, it's just that I've seen too many men who are drunk and crazy, and I'm a little annoyed with drinking.
Hearing him say this, he smiled with a genuine sincerity and happiness tonight, "That's good." Drinking alcohol is actually not good for your health. ”
Qi Jingchen didn't dare to take out his cigarette to smoke in order to see her, and he was enduring his addiction to cigarettes at this time. was praised by her like this, and I couldn't wait to puff up my chest and say, "I don't smoke either!"
When he was still hesitating to boast about this Haikou, Zheng Qing took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, handed it to Bai Xiaojiu, and helped her light it.
The two girls lit a cigarette one by one, and Yu Guang saw Qi Jingchen staring at them stupidly.
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows and spewed smoke at him, "What's the matter?
Qi Jingchen didn't care about this at all, but felt that Bai Xiaojiu was cute even smoking, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and shook his head with a smile, "I don't mind." ”
When Zheng Qing heard this answer, he watched him staring at Bai Xiaojiu again, and muttered, "Who asked you if you mind......
