Chapter 14 Traveling Together
The barbecue stall is getting better, Zhao Xiuxiu doesn't go anymore after going for two or three days, although Gong Baorou collects money while roasting alone, she is never impatient, no matter how urging the customers are. Slowly, although some customers were lost, those who stayed were also used to Gong Baorou's rhythm, like Li Shuo, who felt uncomfortable if he didn't come to eat once or twice a day.
The surrounding barbecue stalls originally treated Gong Baorou as a big enemy, but seeing that Gong Baorou didn't look like she wanted to expand the scale at all, she was also relieved, plus Gong Baorou could speak well, so the proprietress next to her occasionally took care of her. Of course, everyone thought she was a boy.
The time quickly slipped to Sunday, and at dinner, Lin Shuping said first that he was going out.
"I'm going to go out for a while." Lin Shu calmly ate the braised pork in the bowl and glanced at Gong Baorou, which meant "don't talk much". Gong Baorou originally wanted her to say, but after thinking about it, the effect from her was indeed not as good as that from Lin Shuping, and Liu Yingai didn't think that she made Lin Shuping have no intention of reviewing.
Sure enough, even Lin Shuping himself was opposed by Liu Yingai: "The exam is coming soon, you should review more." ”
Lin Shuping frowned, put down his chopsticks, and rubbed his temples with his left hand: "I feel a little tired lately and want to go out for a walk." ”
Liu Yingai wanted to say something more, but Lin Zhishen had already interrupted her: "Go ahead." "Final word.
Finished eating. Gong Baorou was going out as usual, and Liu Yingai quietly grabbed her.
"It's not that I don't want him out, I'm just worried." Liu Yingai stuffed a few sheets of Grandpa Mao into her hand, "Ah Ping has been too nervous recently, and I'm a little afraid that she will be too nervous and will play abnormally when the time comes, so it's good to relax now." You take care of him more, buy whatever you want, don't save it. ”
Gong Baorou smiled bitterly, Liu Yingai didn't know that she called her son out.
She pushed the money back: "You can't give me this money, you should give it to Brother Shuping." ”
Liu Yingai shoehorned the money over: "Give it to him?" He was able to give it back to me as it was. You just take it and eat whatever you want. ”
Gong Baorou had no choice but to take it.
When he walked out of the door, Lin Shuping was already waiting downstairs.
"You come with me." Gong Baorou led him to the place where the grill was placed. Every day at noon, she would come here to process the ingredients, and in the morning, Zhao Xiuxiu would buy them. This store is dedicated to storage services, and it has a good relationship with Zhao Xiuxiu.
"Arou is here," the proprietress smiled, "Come on, everything is here." ”
The bottles and cans are neatly stacked, and of course there is the credit of this proprietress.
"Thank you." Gong Baorou also smiled obediently.
"This is your little boyfriend?" The proprietress saw Gong Baorou bring someone over, and the relationship between the two was still very close.
Gong Baorou's face was slightly red, but she still said very calmly: "Of course not, this is my brother." ”
She could feel Lin Shuping's eyes burning, lingering over her.
"Your brother, he's so handsome." The proprietress praised a few words, and the enthusiasm was irresistible. Gong Baorou hurriedly pulled Lin Shuping and pushed the cart away, the materials were piled on the cart at first, and Lin Shuping naturally took some of them and carried them in his hands.
The two of them walked slowly to the end of the snack street, and no one came to grab this place at all, so there was no need to rush. There was a proprietress in the stall next to her who saw Gong Baorou coming over, and they all greeted warmly, and Gong Baorou also replied one by one, and there were not a few people who joked about Gong Baorou and Lin Shuping, but they all thought they were just brothers.
"I didn't take you out to play today, will you be disappointed?" Miyabao quickly laid things out.
Lin Shuping didn't care: "Originally, I just went out for a walk." ”
Gong Baorou pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'll give you a task to help me collect money." ”
Lin Shuping listened to her explain a little, and then understood, holding a stack of red paper in his hand, and orderly distributed it to customers who had already paid. Maybe it's because Lin Shuping's charm is too great, there are more girls who come to eat barbecue today, and they always surround Lin Shuping. Gong Baorou looked at Lin Shuping under the "siege" of a group of girls, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't know why she was suddenly a little sour.
He has always been such an outstanding boy, from childhood to adulthood, with countless halos. But why did he fall in love with someone like himself? Gong Baorou knows that he has countless shortcomings, but few advantages, sensitivity and inferiority, and impatience, what is it about himself that attracts him?
"What's wrong?" Lin Shuping felt the strangeness in Gong Baorou's heart, got a little closer, and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's strange to see you like this." Gong Baorou smiled slightly and teased.
Lin Shuping didn't say anything and withdrew his gaze. Gong Baorou was a little disappointed, she rarely saw Lin Shuping have emotional fluctuations, and even smiled very little.
After more than two hours of busy work, the ingredients were consumed, and the diners knew the rules here, although there were still some unfinished things, but they gradually dispersed. Gong Baorou stretched out a little tiredly, and looked at Lin Shuping, who was still very leisurely.
It's really unbalanced.
Gong Baorou scolded a few words, and packed up his things with Lin Shuping. But instead of immediately sending her things to the storage place, she found a roadside not far from the snack street and took out a small box from under the cart.
"If you help me do things, I will definitely not treat you badly, taste it, this is specially reserved for you." Gong Baorou stuffed the box into Lin Shuping's hand.
Lin Shuping opened the box, and there were dozens of skewers of barbecue and some vegetables, all of which had just been roasted. He sniffed, and the fragrance was not as strong as the ones sold outside, but it was unusually seductive.
"Eat fast, eat fast." Gong Baorou urged, after a while, the best time to eat will not taste good.
Lin Shuping took a bite of the barbecue, and with only one bite, he knew why the barbecue sold by Gong Baorou was always in short supply. Not just because of the small amount, but because of the taste.
It is obviously a barbecued meat, but the meat is unusually tender, and the flavor of the ingredients is completely integrated into the meat, and a spicy taste spreads from the tip of the tongue. As you chew, the aroma reverberates in your mouth and rushes to your nose. Lin Shuping guessed that the reason why the aroma of the barbecue did not come out was because it was all wrapped in the meat, but because the fragrance was wrapped, it was very strong.
Lin Shuping felt that he obviously didn't like to eat barbecue things, but he couldn't stop talking about the food in the small box in his hand. Of course, even if he was attracted, Lin Shuping's eating appearance was still very elegant.
The two of them just leaned on the side of the road, eating while enjoying the night view. Suddenly, a discordant voice appeared.
"Ahem, kid, can you show me what's in your box?"
