When they walked into a hot pot restaurant, they saw a beautiful waitress in a short-sleeved white shirt and bow tie greeted them with a smile, arranged for them to be seated, and then poured a warm cup of tea for each of them.

At this time, it was the afternoon meal time, and there were many customers in the store, some of them were drinking and boxing, some were chatting while picking up vegetables, and some were chatting and waiting patiently for the food to be served, and the scene was very lively.

After a while, the waiter cautiously came over with a pot of hot sour soup and placed it on the stove, he twisted the gas valve, bent down to light the fire, and put an open flame into the gas stove under the table, and the blue flame spewed out happily from the spray zone.

This hot pot is based on red sour soup, which is filled with dried chili peppers, sliced grass carp, sliced ginger, sliced houttuynia cordata, sliced green garlic, etc., only to listen to the gurgling sound in the clay pot, the wisps of white steam are steaming upward, and the air is filled with a rich and good fragrance, which makes them salivate, and they have to raise the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables, send them to the mouth, sour and spicy and refreshing, and the aftertaste is endless.

Lin Ruoxi's movements in picking vegetables are very elegant, and even chewing food is unhurried, and she does not expose her teeth. Her dining etiquette has been cultivated since she was a child, whether in front of her relatives or outsiders, she is like this. Lu Xiaobai watched her every move, he had never looked at anyone eating as carefully as watching her eat, and he thought she looked very good.

The theorem of "opposites attract" has been well confirmed by Lu Xiaobai and Lin Ruoxi, I saw him smiling, taking the initiative to chat with her everywhere, and looking at her from time to time; Lin Ruoxi, listening carefully, responded a few words from time to time, and her cold and flawless face was filled with a faint smile, like ripples in a deep pool.

Seeing them talking intimately and completely ignoring himself, Zeng Jiabao felt that he was left out as a team leader, his self-esteem was hurt, and the flame of jealousy was burning brighter and stronger, so he deliberately coughed hard twice to remind them that they should pay attention to themselves and not think that they should not be self-existent.

Lu Xiaobai's mind was completely on Lin Ruoxi's body, so he didn't notice his abnormal behavior, and praised Lin Ruoxi's long black and shiny hair for being very beautiful.

Lu Xiaobai seemed to feel that he had never been happier than today in his life, so he said several times more than usual.

Lin Ruoxi is good at observing words and feelings, she glanced at Zeng Jiabao, and saw that he had a cloudy face, and his eyes rolled up, she was slightly stunned, and then after a little thought, she guessed his intention to cough, so she smiled and asked cohesively: "Mr. Zeng, is this dish suitable for the spleen and stomach?" ”

Zeng Jiabao didn't answer, only to see him angrily clip a piece of hot fish fillet into his wide mouth, and immediately burned him to open his mouth and sizzle a few breaths of cold air, he randomly put the chopsticks on the delicate white porcelain bowl, the chopsticks were not stable, and then fell from the table to the ground, making a messy sound. After swallowing the food, he shouted to the waitress who was standing not far away, "Waiter, bring me a pair of chopsticks!" ”

The waiter turned his head, saw that he was unhappy, and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he quickly responded with a polite smile: "Boss, I'll go get it, you wait." Then he turned and hurried away.

Zeng Jiabao wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and suddenly asked, "Do you know 'Uncle Sam'?" ”

Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw him looking like a wolf, and when he heard his question, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I know, I've also seen the cartoon portrait of 'Uncle Sam', he is tall and thin, with white hair, a goatee, a tall hat, and a red, white, and blue tuxedo, looking majestic." What, is 'Uncle Sam' your idol? ”

"Who is 'Uncle Sam'?" Lu Xiaobai asked, then put a piece of garlic in his mouth and chewed.

Zeng Jiabao did not answer Lin Ruoxi's question, but pointed the finger at Lu Xiaobai: "You don't even know such a famous figure as 'Uncle Sam', it's really unheard!" You need to know more about foreign cultures, and if you don't understand, you can ask me. "He seems to be an encyclopedia.

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, knowing that he loved to brag, so she didn't take his words to heart.

Lu Xiaobai was not happy, and said in his heart: What's so strange about this, why do I have to know a foreigner's name! You yin and yang weird guy, you reprimand me for no reason, you must be resentful of me! But what have I done to offend you?

Zeng Jiabao glanced at Lin Ruoxi and asked in an unfriendly tone: "Then do you know the origin of the title "Uncle Sam"? ”

Lin Ruoxi shook her head, dissatisfied.

Zeng Jiabao showed a look of disdain between his eyebrows: "You are not much stronger, and you have to learn more about foreign cultures, understand?" ”

Lin Ruoxi's brows suddenly twisted, and she blinked her beautiful Danfeng eyes twice, she wondered which tendon he had made the wrong match, and his tone was full of a strong smell of gunpowder?

The waiter took the chopsticks and handed them to Zeng Jiabao. Zeng Jiabao immediately pulled down a face and scolded: "Is it so slow to take a pair of chopsticks!" ”

The waiter's face sank slightly, and he said with a smile: "Sir, I will get it as soon as you tell me." ”

Zeng Jiabao waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, go!" Too lazy to talk to you. ”

The waiter's nose fluttered twice, and his heart said that it was really a "prickly head", and then turned around and twisted his round buttocks and left. Her cowardly action, I don't know if it is a kind of dissatisfied protest against Zeng Jiabao?

Tsang Ka Po took out the black chopsticks from the white strip of wrapping paper, looked at the chopsticks casually, and did not immediately pick up the vegetables, but said: "It seems that it is necessary for me to tell you the origin of the nickname 'Uncle Sam', so that you can increase your knowledge." He gestured as he spoke, and the chopsticks followed his gesture one by one, "The story takes place in 1812, that is, during the American Revolution. Wilson's beef packer, thanks to his "

"Kabao—" Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded not far away, interrupting him.

Zeng Jiabao turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was this woman who called him, his brows were immediately twisted into a "Chuan" shape, and a panicked look appeared on his face.

The woman was tall, with a thick layer of powder on her round face, a faint blush on her slightly protruding cheeks, bright lipstick on her thin lips, and a circle of sheer blue eyeshadow, her black hair pulled up in a bun and curled in curls at the back, hanging uninhibitedly on her thin shoulders. Because she was wearing heavy makeup, it was impossible to guess her actual age.

She looked at Zeng Jiabao very excitedly, stepped over in a few arrows, stretched out her hand and rubbed it on his shoulder, and said angrily: "Jiabao, why are you avoiding me?" Ever since you quietly left me, I have been thinking about you day and night, and I have even dreamed of seeing you at night! You know, I've looked for you everywhere, but I can't find you, if my best friend hadn't asked me to come here for dinner today, how would I know you're here? Why do you have to endure so much and leave me alone? ”

Zeng Jiabao pushed her hand away in disgust, and said coldly: "Zhang Chunyan, I remind you, please respect yourself in front of the public!" Don't rub me off, let others laugh at me, and those who don't know think that I have something to do with you, I have nothing to do with you! ”

"You even say you have nothing to do with me?" Zhang Chunyan was anxious and blurted out, "We have already lived together, how can we say that it doesn't matter?" You have no conscience! ”

Zeng Jiabao was like a ball full of air, which was slapped down by a strong force, and immediately bounced up, and he angrily reprimanded: "You made something out of nothing, is there something wrong with your brain!" He set his eyes on Lu Xiaobai, and when he saw him looking at himself with a smile, he felt that this smile hid sarcasm, and he couldn't help but be even more upset.

"I" Zhang Chunyan was speechless for a while, and it took two seconds before she said, "Why do you hate me so much?" What's wrong with me? ”

A room full of people watched them quarrel like monkey shows. Zeng Jiabao felt that these gazes cast at him were like mangra, which made him feel uncomfortable, and suddenly stood up and said sharply: "What do you see! Haven't you ever seen a man quarrel with a woman? His rough eyebrows were raised one after another, and they did not have their usual elegant demeanor.

As soon as the words fell, the room burst into laughter.

Zeng Xibao's face was red and white for a while, realizing that what he said just now was so stupid that he was ridiculed, he wanted to reprimand others fiercely, but he couldn't think of a clever language, so he could only leave in shame.

Zhang Chunyan followed him like a fart, causing another burst of ridicule.

"What are you doing with me, isn't it embarrassing enough?!"

"I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I'll follow you wherever you go."

"I'm unlucky to meet you in this life!"

"You slept with me and said you were unlucky, but in fact I was unlucky!"

"You talk"

Lu Xiaobai watched Zeng Jiabao walk towards the door, wondering why he wanted to live with her since he didn't like this woman?

Regarding this incident, Zeng Jiabao's explanation to Lu Xiaobai was that once a few acquaintances went to his house for a party, and everyone drank wine as soon as they were happy. After he finished going to the toilet, he went back to his room to rest, and saw a person lying on the bed, because the person's head was covered with a quilt, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, he was still drunk at the time, and went to bed without thinking too much. When he woke up, he found a woman lying next to him. The woman was soon awakened by him, and when she saw that she was sleeping in the same bed with him, she insisted that he had taken advantage of her, and that men and women should have been intimate, and since they had slept together, she was his. Of course he didn't agree. He remembered that he had never touched her body from beginning to end, so how could he take advantage? But she didn't give up, pestering him every day to be his wife. He was upset and moved quietly in a fit of anger, but he didn't expect to be touched by her.
