"Shen Xiuyan is in Beijing, what does it have to do with me leaving Shenzhen?" He Shenge frowned in confusion.

As it was close to the end of work, Luo Linlin did not answer this question directly, but asked He Shenge to sit for a while and let her talk after work.

At two o'clock in the morning, it was finally time for Lorraine to get off work, they walked out of the hotel, and saw that the surroundings were as bright as day, as is the case in big cities, and the middle of the night was the most sober time for everyone, the most relaxed time, when the streets were still brightly lit, the traffic was rolling, and the sound of dogs and horses.

The house rented by Luo Linlin is only half an hour's walk from the hotel, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is clean and clean, and the decoration is extremely simple, which just gives people a cold feeling.

"This house is expensive, isn't it?" He Shenge smacked his tongue as soon as he came in.

"The monthly rent is five thousand, without water and electricity, and I also asked the housekeeping aunt to clean once a week, what do you think?" Luo Linlin poured her a glass of red wine.

She shook her head: "I don't really want to drink, do you get off work so late every day?"

"Otherwise, do you think anyone is like you who works 8 to 6 and doesn't have to work overtime, so they get a monthly salary of 8,000?" she sipped her red wine and sat on the soft gray sofa, her eyes shining: "Guess, how much do I get now?"

"5,000 houses, you dare to rent, before your work in Guangzhou, the monthly salary is 8,000, and there is a commission, you say that you will change jobs, there should be more than 10,000, right?"

"The basic salary is 20,000 yuan, and the usual tips and commissions add up to about 40,000 yuan. ”

He Shenge was not too surprised, with a clear expression, she quietly observed her best friend's house, and turned her head to look at Luo Linlin, although Luo Linlin's face was painted with exquisite makeup, she still couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.

She walked straight to the kitchen area: "I haven't eaten for a day, have I'll cook for you." ”

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first. Lorraine picked up her spirits and got up and went to her room.

Overhead, the glass light flows quietly like water on the spotless kitchenware, which is clearly rarely used. He Shenge opened the refrigerator and found that it was full of pure water from Baisui Mountain and six cans of Budweiser beer, in addition to that, it was a refrigerated bag of sandwiches, a bag of small tomatoes and cherries, passion fruit, apples and kiwifruit, as well as two cucumbers, and two bottles of yogurt.

Looking at these, she knew that Luo Linlin must have eaten fruit yogurt for weight loss and convenience.

She suddenly felt some soreness in her chest.

"Shen Ge, there are instant noodles in the closet, don't cook too much, I'm not used to eating at night. Lorraine went into the bathroom.

After a while, the sound of sprinkling water came from the bathroom.

He Shenge opened the closet, the closet was stuffed with instant noodles, she took two packets of instant noodles, boiled the boiling water, and soaked in the water, then she removed the round tomatoes, cut them into thin slices, and then shredded the green pine cucumbers, and then she opened two more sandwiches, took out the luncheon meat slices, vegetables and fried eggs, and left four slices of triangular bread in the refrigerator.

After a few minutes, the noodles were soft, and He Shenge passed the noodles with cold water and began to boil the pot.

After a while, she put her hand into the pot, and the palm of her hand could feel the steaming heat, and immediately added oil, put the red and bright tomato slices into the hot oil, and after stir-frying a few times, the tomato slices were fried into an erosive red thick juice, and the black pot was commensurate, like the rolling magma in the crater, which made people feel a trace of heat and spicy, but between the snorts was pure sweet and sour.

It is the time of tender honey juice, she put in cucumber shreds, add some water, stir-fry a few times, the red tomato soup with green cucumber shreds, looks like a willow green peach spring scene, when the air wafts out a sweet and sour fragrance, she turned off the heat, directly mixed the noodles together and stir-fried.

The fried noodles should not be fried for too long, otherwise the noodles will burn, and she quickly tore open the seasoning packet and added some salt to the pot.

When the rich tomato soup soaked the noodles red, it seemed like a ray of sunshine in the middle of summer, and she immediately turned off the heat.

As soon as the fire in the kitchen went out, Luo Linlin came out of the shower, and as soon as she came out, she smelled the fragrance, wiping her wet hair, and rushed over: "Wow, it's so fragrant, the fried noodles in the teahouse are not as fragrant as this fried noodles!"

"Hurry up and eat. He Shenge filled her with a big bowl.

Lorraine sat cross-legged on a soft blanket of gray and white twills, picked up her chopsticks and slid the noodles into her mouth, the noodles overflowed with sweet and sour juice on the tongue, and then the juice and noodles flowed into her lungs like a stream, and everywhere she passed was warm and delicious.

She looked satisfied: "Shen Ge, your cooking skills are getting better and better! You are also talented as a gourmet." ”

"You usually have to learn to cook and eat by yourself, you are much taller than me, and you are very thin. ”

"Okay, I'll take four days off a month, and I'll call you over to teach me another day. ”

"Okay. ”

Halfway through eating, maybe the fried noodles were drier, Luo Linlin got up and took two bottles of Baisui Mountain, and gave one bottle to He Shenge.

She took a sip of water, looked at the bowl with some unsatisfied eyes, and still pushed it away through gritted teeth, turned around and took out a black-skinned hardcover notebook from her bag, and turned on her phone to watch an online course on marketing.

"Didn't you get your self-examination undergraduate certificate?" He Shenge didn't force her to finish the rest of the fried noodles, but silently cleaned up.

"Well, but it's not enough, I still have to climb up, I'm not just the only one in the Apex Hotel, there are several, I'm just in charge of the restaurant area, and I have a general manager above me. Lorraine pressed the pause button, looking idle.

She asked, "Shen Ge, do you know how much that cup of lime green you drank when you first started drinking?"

He Shenge didn't speak, lowered his eyes, and washed the dishes.

"Other bars are simple mojitos like Lime Green, at most forty or fifty, our hotel is sixty-eight, very expensive, right?" she propped her head with her hand and looked at the busy He Shenge: "Actually, what is expensive is the reputation and location of the hotel. ”

"I understand. ”

"It's okay if you change careers, teachers get dead salaries, and the salary price can't go up, but our status is measured by money, teachers are different, that is respect, people in society will have respect for teachers, this kind of respect, money can't buy it. ”

He Shenge wiped the bowl dry with a dry cloth and put it back in the disinfection cabinet, she turned her head to look at Luo Linlin who was leaning lazily on the sofa, her voice was still not salty: "Respect is not obtained by profession, I don't need it, what I want is freedom, for example, when I'm hungry, I can fry noodles at any time to eat, instead of having to go after work to eat fried noodles, I want to come to Shenzhen to find you, I can come at any time, instead of waiting for winter and summer vacations." ”

Lorraine didn't say anything more, but continued to watch the lesson.

It was about four o'clock in the morning, and after He Shenge came out of the shower, Luo Linlin had already fallen asleep under the sofa.

She sighed again and again, entered Luo Linlin's bedroom, took out a thin Xia Liang quilt and covered Luo Linlin, she pressed the class on her phone to pause, and glanced at the notebook on the table, which was covered with dense fly-headed Xiaokai.

This night, she didn't sleep, but stayed next to Lorraine, using Lorraine's computer to look up some information about the food traveler on the Internet.

The sky was dark, Luo Lin woke up in a trance, rubbed her eyes, and saw He Shenge muttering in his mouth while copying at the desk, "Prepare a different table background ......"

At this moment, she didn't continue to stop He Shenge's impulse at all, but turned over and continued to sleep.

He Shenge put down his pen, turned sideways, and tucked the quilt for Luo Linlin, she felt a little cool, the temperature has always been relatively low in the morning, and after looking at the air conditioner in the cabinet, she raised the temperature by a few degrees.

At ten o'clock the next day, Luo Linlin got up and saw He Shenge preparing a table of breakfast, baked triangular bread slices, boiled red bean barley porridge, two cups of hot soy milk that seemed to be bought outside, and a bowl of tender steamed eggs.

The two of them sat at the table for breakfast.

Luo Lin glanced at He Shenge opposite: "Can you and Shen Xiuyan go back?"

"A good night in the middle of the night is not as good as porridge in the morning, and the old people in the past are not as good as the companions of the present. He Shenge, who had two dark circles under his eyes, still had some strength to say a word.

"In that case, I didn't have to worry about pulling last night. ”

"You'd better worry about yourself, don't sleep in the living room in the future, be careful of catching a cold. ”

"I'm sleepy, I can't help it. ”

Luo Linlin scooped a spoonful of steamed eggs, the goose down egg custard swayed lightly on the spoon like a pudding, and slipped into her throat after entering the mouth, leaving a trace of sweetness worth savoring, she gave He Shenge a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

"That's for sure. ”

"In other words, you have already decided to let go of Shen Xiuyan, but I don't think he may be able to let go of the past, I saw it from afar, and he looked at you differently. ”

He Shen was silent.

Luo Linlin ate egg custard, and didn't forget to tell her best friend before and after: "Last night, not long after you came in, I saw Shen Xiuyan's guy also coming, I saw it, it was bad, and quickly broke him away, I heard that he was going to find a Turkish barista who poached our hotel, and he seemed to be interested in opening a hotel in Shanghai." ”

"That's his business. ”

"Anyway, did you divinate last night, I think you had a good conversation with that Turk, but I tell you, don't be deceived by that Turk's gentle appearance and false words. Luo Linlin looked disdainful: "Every week he works in the hotel for one night, he will look for a target, I was afraid that you became his appetizer last night, and then I thought about it, your IQ is not low." ”

"He went a little too far, and I knew it. ”

Hearing this, Luo Linlin smiled crookedly: "His scum routine is so obvious, I know you won't be deceived." ”

"Don't talk about that, what time do you go to work?"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early. Luo Linlin took a sip of soy milk and asked, "Do you want to sleep?"

"No, I'll go back to my rental later. ”

"Why are you still renting a room outside, come and sleep with me, there are still two empty rooms. ”

"No, I've already signed a rental contract. ”

"How many months of rent have you paid?"

"For a month, I want to stay in Shenzhen for a month and taste the food in Shenzhen. ”

Luo Linlin tasted the red bean barley porridge: "This porridge is not suitable for drinking in the morning, it is a little sweet, what is your plan now? ”

"Really?" He Shenge picked up the spoon and tasted it twice, but he didn't feel anything unusual: "I think it's okay, maybe I like sweets?"

Lorraine nodded.

She said lightly: "It's not easy to go on a line, and it's also difficult to estimate being famous, but I read the advice given by other professionals, first confirm your own characteristics, different people taste the food and feel different, after all, eating this behavior is personal, fashion bloggers rely on their own perception of fashion trends and wear clothes that suit their own style, and I plan to find my own positioning." ”

"It depends on how you judge a food, you are a Chinese teacher, the rhetoric will be flowery, and it may be more attractive. Luo Linlin put down the spoon and sat upright: "According to our restaurant, the crowd targeted by our restaurant is high-spending people, Shenzhen is a mixed city, so most of the food provided by the hotel restaurant tends to be from all over the world, as far as possible is unique to each place, in addition, the hotel has also created its own characteristics, invited pastry chefs, chefs, baristas, bartenders, etc., must produce an original work every month." ”

She paused and took a deep breath: "Shen Ge, if you are positioned as a travel foodie, then you have to think about it, food and travel are indispensable and indispensable, so you can't just be in Shenzhen." ”

"I know that. He Shenge said his thoughts: "Because I have been working in Shenzhen for many years and am more familiar with it, I booked the first attraction of food in Shenzhen, and next, I will go to Guangzhou." ”

"What's the difference between Guangzhou and Shenzhen? It's all Guangdong, and you can't do that. Lorraine rejected her original idea.

Then, the two launched a round of discussion on He Shenge's positioning and the content of Weibo updates, basically Luo Linlin was giving opinions, He Shenge was listening, and she wrote down what she thought was useful and desirable.

The porridge was cold, the soy milk was drunk, and the scorching sun rising to the top of the sky shone in through the window, illuminating the whole house, and also bringing the stuffiness characteristic of the southern summer, even if the air conditioning was turned on in the house.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Lin went to work, leaving He Shenge in the house to try to write a copy about a food traveler.

In the past, she used to write lesson plans, but now when she is asked to write copy, she is confused, and she just records what she is going to do and what she wants to prepare according to her own ideas.

Before leaving, she wrote down a page for Luo Linlin about how to cook noodles, drew clear hand-drawn drawings, and bought a lot of vegetables, fruits and dry food to fill the refrigerator and cupboards.

The afterglow of the setting sun covered the rows of buildings, and He Shenge returned to the small rented house, and just moved in, the walls were still stained with speckled black stains, which looked like soot after cooking.

She didn't care about tidying up, her whole body was wilting, and she lay down on the hard bed, just thinking about sleeping.

At this time, the mobile phone rings.

Luo Linlin sent her a document on WeChat, with a postscript: "If you go to the store and mention the name Fu Tilin to the store manager, I will give you a discount." ”

She opened the document and saw that the document recorded the detailed addresses and contact numbers of restaurants in various districts of Shenzhen, and suddenly her eyes were red, her lips trembled, and she replied to Luo Linlin: "Instant noodles are delicious, I think you will open an instant noodle shop in the future, if I become popular at that time, it will be your signboard." ”

When she saw this document, she remembered that Lorraine Lin was tired but tirelessly staying up late to watch online courses last night, and the bright and comfortable house, she got up and patted her face with cold water, thinking that she must not waste a single bit of time, and she had to start the first step - to see how other food travel bloggers updated their Weibo content.
