Before getting off work on Wednesday, Shanhe received a call from Tang Xu, saying that he was going to celebrate his birthday and book a table for a banquet. Of course, Shanhe was very happy, asked Tang Xu about his ordering requirements, and recommended a few beautiful fried signature dishes for him.

After the two sides discussed, the matter was settled.

By five o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, the people from the project department came in a car, except for Lao Wu, Jiang Yu and Tang Xu, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, and several other engineers were there.

There are no private seats at the beautiful fried restaurant, so the meals are all in the hall.

Shanhe and Ami went out to greet the guests, and they were inevitably shocked when they saw Jiangyu.

Jiang Yu is usually strict and serious, usually wears a white shirt, occasionally wears a T-shirt and sportswear, today for the first time wearing a Korean version of slim men's clothing, a light blue striped short-sleeved shirt clings to the body, outlining a thick chest and a strong waist, light gray slacks tightly wrap around the tight and straight buttocks, the lines are so beautiful that people can't help but want to pat twice with their hands to listen to the crisp sound when patting.

Today's Jiangyu ...... Why do you feel a little sassy?

No, no, as soon as Shanhe sees Jiangyu like this, he can't help but think of the picture inside the tunnel, it's too exciting, and her nostrils are a little hot.

The person who also took the route of Sao Bao was Tang Xu, and Tang Xu was much more than Jiangyu Sao, wearing a pink deep V shirt, Ami glanced at it, and her whole face was red.

Shanhe silently looked away and looked at Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, it was still much more pleasing to the eyes of the old couple.

A group of people entered the hotel and took their seats.

Shanhe asked, "Do you want to start serving the food now?" ”

Tang Xu asked for some advice, and then said, "Let's serve!" ”

Uncle Ming quickly fried the dishes, and Shanhe and Ami brought up the dishes one by one.

Although Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu have been in Heting County for a while, Uncle Gu's legs and feet are inconvenient, so the couple has not eaten much local specialties.

Jiang Yu and Tang Xu are not locals, and they can't say anything.

Shanhe took the initiative to introduce: "Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, this dish is lemon loach." The main material is the naturally grown burbot loach in our Red River, not artificially raised! Lemon, vanilla, millet spicy are added to the excipients, the taste is sour, spicy and fragrant, and the meat is fresh and tender. ”

When everyone heard this, their index fingers immediately moved.

Aunt Gu asked, "What kind of fish is the burbot loach?" ”

"The burbot is actually a type of catfish, which has very distinct regional characteristics and only lives in rivers in the tropics."

Uncle Gu pointed to another dish of grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves and asked, "Then what kind of fish is this?" ”

"It's roasted tilapia, and the flavor of this dish is spicy and delicious, and the cooking method is a little more complicated. Tilapia is also a typical tropical fish with a very tender flesh. Don't look at this fish that looks like a crucian carp, in fact, this fish doesn't have as many bones as a crucian carp. Tilapia only has large bones, no tiny spines, so you don't have to worry about getting stuck in your throat. ”

Uncle Gu was very happy when he heard it, "I like to eat fish without fine spines." ”

"The old man is still thinking about eating when he is old." Aunt Gu joked while sandwiching a piece of tilapia meat for Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu nodded again and again after tasting it, "Well, it's delicious, it's just a little spicy." ”

Tang Xu looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and was also curious, pointing to a dish that looked like rice noodles but not like rice noodles and asked, "What is this?" Rice noodles? ”

"It's rice noodles, and it's not all rice noodles. Strictly speaking, this is called lemon skimming. ”

"Lemon squirting? What a strange name. ”

"This is actually a Dai dish, using the food that has been mixed with gastric juice in the cow's stomach but has not yet been digested as the raw material, with fresh leeks, fennel and fragrant willow, adding salt, chili noodles and other ingredients mixed together. The way to eat it is very simple, it is to dip rice noodles and shredded tripe in the soup stock and eat it. This dish is characterized by sour and spicy appetizers, as well as the effect of strengthening the spleen and clearing heat. ”

After Shanhe introduced, the others followed her introduction, picked up the rice noodles and dipped them, and put them in their mouths.

"Wow!" Tang Xu sighed, "It's really sour and spicy!" ”

Jiang Yu stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a thin slice of meat, looked at the mountains and rivers, there seemed to be light flowing in his eyes, and a deep voice slowly overflowed from his throat: "What kind of dish is this?" ”

Shanhe's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that Jiangyu's voice was a little sexy, which was really strange. She coughed lightly twice and said: "This is a spicy fried Hunan bacon, with a distinct Hunan flavor, and integrated with local characteristics. ”

"Hunan?" The people at the table were taken aback, obviously they didn't expect to be able to eat Hunan cuisine in this small border county.

"Yes." Shanhe nodded, "I think everyone knows that Heting County is a place inhabited by ethnic minorities, not only Yao, Miao, Yi, and Zhuang, but also many Vietnamese and Hunanese. ”

Tang Xu asked: "Why are there Hunan people?" ”

Shanhe smiled and said: "This can be traced back to the sixties of the last century, the third-line construction initiated by **. ”

Uncle Gu nodded and said, "Yes, I know this history, and the construction of the third line is also called supporting the frontier." From 1964 to 1980, many workers and cadres left their homes and came to the northwest and southwest to support the construction of the frontiers. If I'm not mistaken, in the 80s of the last century, there should be a lot of educated youths here who haven't returned to the city! ”

Shanhe was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly became a little misty, and he slowly replied after a while: "Yes, there are many educated youths." ”

At this time, the door of the hotel sounded "Welcome".

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a man in a police uniform walking in, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he looked handsome.

Meng Wutong is here.

Jiang Yu and Tang Xu knew Meng Wutong, but Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu and the others didn't know each other, thinking that they were guests who came to the restaurant for dinner.

As soon as Shanhe saw Meng Wutong, he thought of the scene he saw on the street that day, and turned his head to go back to the kitchen.

Meng Wutong strode up and grabbed her wrist, "Tangtang, why have you ignored me these days?" ”

The others were very curious when they saw it, could it be that this police comrade was Shanhe's boyfriend?

Tang Xu subconsciously looked at Jiangyu, and sure enough, he saw a touch of gloom in his cousin's eyes. Alas, this iron tree has finally bloomed, and it is difficult to bear fruit!

Shanhe lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Meng Wutong, I'm busy, if you want to eat, then you can sit down." ”

Meng Wutong refused to let go of her, his eyes locked on her, "Tangtang, you misunderstood me that day." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another "welcome" prompt at the door.

Everyone turned their heads again to see a beautiful girl standing at the door. Other people don't know each other, but the mountains and rivers do, it's Ah Ling.

Ah Ling rushed to Meng Wutong's side at the speed of light, took Meng Wutong's hand, and looked at him with a look of hope, "Brother Meng, I went to your unit to wait for you, but I didn't wait, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Eh, what's going on? The onlookers were a little confused, could it be said that this Officer Meng couldn't step on two boats?

Jiang Yu didn't say a word and sat quietly.

Tang Xu's eyes lit up with a raging flame of gossip, it turned out that this Officer Meng was a half-hearted person, chasing Sister Xiaoshan on the one hand, and having an affair with other women on the other!

Meng Wutong was about to shake off Ah Ling's hand, and Ah Yong came out of the kitchen.

"Ah Ling!" Ah Yong screamed in surprise, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards Ah Ling, rubbing his hands a little nervously and asking, "Why are you here?" Are you here to eat? ”

Ah Yong's mind was too obvious to hide at all, and others knew at a glance that he liked this girl named Ah Ling.

Belch! What the hell is going on? This play is also a little too exciting! Shanhe, Officer Meng, Ah Ling, Ah Yong, this is Chiguoguo's four-cornered love!

Tang Xu's gaze moved to his cousin's face again, no, it's a pentagonal love! Then, he moved his gaze to Shanhe's face, and sighed in his heart, Sister Xiaoshan, at the top of the food chain, what a cheat!

Ah Ling directly gave Ah Yong a roll of his eyes, "I'm here for Brother Meng, don't be sentimental." ”

Ah Yong's face turned pale, showing an injured expression, and he looked at Meng Wutong in disbelief, "Do you like Officer Meng?" But he likes Sister Sugar Candy! ”

Ah Ling was unhappy, glared at Ah Yong and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

The mountains and rivers support the forehead, which is a little nerve-wracking. How did it happen? And it was in front of them in Jiangyu, which was a joke. She said coldly: "If you want to eat, please sit down, if you don't eat, please go out, don't disturb my business." With that, she turned and left.

"Sugar Candy!" Meng Wutong still refused to let go, "Don't go, let's make it clear today." ”

Aunt Gu also raised her hand enthusiastically and said, "Yes, yes, young man, if you have something to say, just say it clearly, don't make a misunderstanding." ”

Tang Xu glanced at Aunt Gu silently, Aunt Gu, where are you helping? No, Aunt Gu doesn't seem to know that her cousin likes Sister Xiaoshan.

Jiang Yu's gaze fell on Meng Wutong's hand holding Shanhe, and he took a sip of water from his cup.

Meng Wutong held Shanhe's hand tightly, and his gaze stayed on Jiang Yu's face for a second, intentionally or unintentionally, as if announcing something. Then, he looked at Ah Ling, and his expression was very strict: "Miss Ah Ling, I think I have made it very clear to you that I don't have any feelings for you as a man or woman, and I don't even have feelings for you as a sister." ”

Ah Ling looked at Meng Wutong with a big shock, "Brother Meng, you, you don't like me, why do you help me?" ”

"Although I am an anti-smuggling policeman, I also belong to the ranks of the police force, all to protect the legitimate rights of citizens. Passing by your shop that day, I saw that you were being harassed and helped you, all because of my duty, and it had nothing to do with personal feelings. Meng Wutong's voice was warm, and the speed of his speech was not fast, but it clearly made people feel a sense of majesty as a law enforcer.

Shanhe's heart shook slightly, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Meng Wutong.

Meng Wutong also lowered his head, looking at the mountains and rivers gently.

Jiang Yu's knuckles holding the teacup were a little white.

Tang Xu suddenly interjected: "You can't say that, the little girl can't secretly promise you for no reason just because you helped her once, it must be what hints and hopes you gave others!" ”

Jiang Yu didn't speak, but he felt that Tang Xu's words were simply beautiful. He looked at Shanhe again, and sure enough, he saw that she looked away.
