Chapter Twenty-Eight: Family Portrait and Night (2nd Watch)
Raichu had a question: "Isn't the family portrait in the noodle restaurant for the whole family to eat?" When I was a child, my parents used to take me to eat, and they all picked from a big bowl to eat in their own small bowl, and it was just right for three people. β
Song Ping Guoxin said that from this point of view, Leiqiu when he was a child was not so able to eat, why did he never return on this road later.
"When you go to KFC to buy a family bucket, are you going to share it with the whole family?"
"No, I usually eat a bucket by myself."
"It's the same for family portraits."
Raichu nodded, and suddenly realized.
The speed of noodles is always very fast, not to mention that there are no customers in the store now, so the boss quickly brought Song Pingguo's bowl of family photos, deliberately held the stopwatch in front of her, and pressed the button to start the timer.
Song Pingguo was really hungry and panicked, and picked up the noodles with chopsticks and was about to put them in her mouth, but was stopped by Lei Qiu reaching out to stop her.
Raichu carefully observed the bowl of noodles in front of him, which was filled with soup and toppings, and of course, the amount of noodles had increased a lot.
Skin-bellied green vegetables, sausages, pork liver, and a little finely chopped mustard, a poached egg lying on the surface, and a bowl of noodles were placed between Song Pingguo and Lei Qiu, steaming white, as if to say, "Come and eat me, you must not be able to eat it hahaha."
Compared with KFC's single-parent bucket, this bowl of family photos is really quite a family portrait.
ββ¦β¦ Can you eat? β
"Eighty percent can't eat." Song Pingguo squeezed her eyes at her, "Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you try it, what if you eat it?" β
"Have you ever seen someone succeed in a challenge?"
"There are successful challenges, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes." Song Pingguo took a sip of soup with the spoon in his left hand, "Oh, like this, after eating, not only free but also with prizes, the boss must have carefully designed the portion so that ordinary people can't eat it, otherwise he won't have to die." β
Song Pingguo usually eats the dishes she cooks, just like Lei Qiu watching his own plays, not that he doesn't like it, but it's boring, so it's the first time Lei Qiu has seen Song Pingguo eat and enjoy it so much.
She seemed to be afraid of being hot, and she was whirring and blowing the noodles on the spoon in a thick heat, and she stuck out her tongue when she was so hot that she put down her chopsticks and spoon and fanned the wind in her mouth, asking Raichu to fetch her a bottle of ice water.
Song Pingguo didn't take a few bites before she knew that she would definitely not be able to succeed in the challengeβRaichu felt that she had foreseen this outcome from the moment the noodles were served, and she gave up specializing in noodles for the time being and began to eat the toppings on the noodles.
The noodles in the bowl began to be a little sticky, and it became difficult to clamp them, so Raichu took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the side: "Come, I'll teach you." β
She skillfully avoided all the toppings, turned over the noodles in the bowl, then poked the yolk of the poached egg, picked up the noodles and put them in to dip the yolk, twisted her wrist to roll the point of the egg yolk on the chopsticks, then dipped it again, rolled it again, and used a ball of noodles wrapped in chopsticks to dip all the yolks of the poached egg, and then handed it to Song Pingguo's mouth, showing off proudly: "Open your mouth." β
Song Pingguo looked at Lei Qiu's eyes, at the noodles dripping egg yolks on the chopsticks, and at the boss who was staring at them with justice.
He opened his mouth and ate it awe-inspiringly.
Lei Qiu's skill with chopsticks is as amazing as Song Pingguo's skill with a frying spoon, she picked up a piece of skin belly and put it on the noodles, then put a piece of sausage, a piece of pork liver, and a green vegetable leaf in it, wrapped it up and dipped it in the noodle soup, and then raised it to Song Pingguo's mouth: "Open your mouth." β
Song Pingguo is about to explode, Lei Qiu is a kind of person, who seems to make some very ambiguous movements or eyes casually, according to your usual understanding of her, you think she should be unintentional, but according to the information revealed in her smile, you feel that she is making you think that she is unintentional is actually intentional, the most terrible thing is that whether she is unintentional or intentional, you have to bear these sudden and unforeseen shame play, such as the last chopsticks Song Pingguo eats, this chopsticks to eat or not.
And Raichu was wondering, why didn't Little Apple open his mouth, was he afraid of being hot.
In this way, while showing off her fancy eating method, Lei Qiu fed all the toppings and part of the noodles to Song Pingguo's mouth, and finally she asked unsatisfactorily, "Then do you still challenge?" β
"I can't even eat a bite." Song Pingguo was about to take out the money from her pocket.
"Can you give me the egg white?" Raichu pointed to the watery egg with the yolk hollowed out.
"Well, you can eat."
Raichu scooped a spoonful of soup into the egg whites, then dripped a little chili oil into it, carefully scooped it up with a spoon, and took a bite of the whole poached egg into his mouth.
Song Pingguo, who was afraid of being hot, was amazed.
Lei Qiu was wiping his mouth with paper, Song Pingguo was about to pay the bill, and as soon as he got up from his seat, he heard Lei Qiu shouting at the counter: "Boss, I want to challenge the family photo." β
"You're going to challenge the family portrait?!" Song Pingguo sat back in shock as she sat back in her seat, "If I eat so much of what you just ate, I guess I won't even be able to eat the single parent." β
But seeing Lei Qiu eager to try, Song Pingguo felt that everything was possible.
The shock caused by the second bowl of family photos was not much smaller than that of the first bowl, Song Pingguo felt that her stomach was turning over the river and the sea when she looked at it, but Lei Qiu was very calm, just like facing an ordinary bowl of noodles, knocking on chopsticks and starting to eat.
"The day's stuff has long been digested." Even when talking to Song Pingguo, Lei Qiu didn't stop his chopsticks, eating was like climbing a mountain, and it was easy to feel that he was full when he stopped to rest halfway, "I eat cabbage at night......
One of the characteristics of cabbage is that it always makes you think you've eaten a lot of vegetables, but you don't.
"If you eat all the big fish and meat at night, the brain will be quickly satisfied, and then the stomach is full and there is no need to eat." Raichu smoothly, bite after bite, solved the noodles in the bowl, "But it's all cabbage, and it hooks out the cravings in my stomach, so I want to eat something very enjoyable." β
The family portrait challenge is rarely completed, it gives people a sense of impact from the appearance, Song Pingguo saw this bowl of noodles served without eating all night, and her heart was a little stunned.
However, the sense of impact did not stop at the appearance, Song Pingguo picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, feeling that the noodles in the bowl did not show the slightest sign of decreasing, and immediately felt disheartened that as long as she was full. Anyway, if you don't complete the challenge, you're just paying for a family photo.
"Alas......" Song Pingguo poked the remaining noodles in her bowl, they were about to form lumps, "I feel like I don't eat as much as usual, and I feel like I can't eat it when I look at it." β
"The stomach can expand and shrink, shrink when there is nothing, and slowly open when there is something, so there is such a thing as an appetizer." Raichu eats very slowly, and in order to prevent the noodles from sticking, he keeps stirring the noodles in the bowl while eating, "So you didn't eat, and suddenly you ate so much, and the stomach in a shrunken state was easily filled." β
ββ¦β¦ Do you usually eat so seriously? β
After eating up the family photo, Lei Qiu also told Song Pingguo another trick of this marketing method: "Some people will think that if there are two hours, they will definitely be able to eat, but in fact, if you can't finish eating, you can't finish it even if you give him eight hours." β
Lei Qiu obviously missed the news that the temperature was going to cool down in the past few days, and overestimated her ability to resist the cold, so she hurriedly put on her single clothes and rushed to Song Pingguo, the consequence was that she felt cold now.
I didn't feel it when I was eating at Yipinxuan just now, I felt it a little when I was waiting outside the door, and now I left in front of the steaming noodle bowl, and I was excited by the night breeze when I opened the door, she just wanted to say that I was a little cold, so I first found a hotel to open an hourly room and slept until tomorrow morning when I took Gong Xiao and hitchhiked back, Song Pingguo said: "Okay, let's go for a walk by the lake." β
The lake is an artificial lake in a nearby community, sparkling and pleasant during the day, and large, dark and cold at night.
Lei Qiu was so cold that she didn't dare to say anything, she knew that if she told Song Pingguo that she was cold now, then Song Pingguo would definitely not let her continue to stand in the cold wind - of course, she would not go to the hotel to sleep with her.
It's like a child who rarely goes to an amusement park, playing in the playground like crazy, and no matter how hungry he is, he won't say that he is hungry, because when he says he is hungry, his parents will definitely take him to eat, and then he will not have to play.
Raichu is such a child. I knew I was going to be taken to dinner, but I just wanted to play a little more.
I don't even want to eat for Song Pingguo, your idea is very dangerous, young man.
The artificial lake at night is dark, big and cold, and Leiqiu at night is cold, happy and apprehensive.
She turned her head to look at Song Pingguo, trying not to let her see that she had been trembling because of coldness, apprehension and happiness, and then looked her in the eyes and said, "Little Apple, I like you." β
Song Pingguo's eyes widened and she was stunned.
One more word, one more sentence might open her heart and get her response.
The moonlight shone on the water, blown into fine white by the breeze, and this white was also reflected in Song Pingguo's eyes. Lei Qiu remembered the day she first met Song Pingguo, when people first met each other, they could never imagine what would happen to each other, and they could never imagine that a person who met in Pingshui would come into their own lives and change their lives.
Raichu opened his mouth hesitantly.
Finally she said, "Ah...... I'm reciting lines. β
