Chapter Twenty-Six: Thinking of Going Together
Ge Jianyu did not tell Chen Ran the origin of the thousand-year-old drunken antidote, but he did not hide it from Xu Yingying and Gong Zhenya. After the two of them recovered from their illnesses, they unanimously decided to invite Li Yu to a meal to show their gratitude, which is also human nature.
The place to eat was arranged by Ge Jianyu, a restaurant not far from the Huafuyuan community, which is of medium grade and cannot be compared with a restaurant like Jin Kaiyue. Of course, Ge Jianyu's choice makes sense, Xu Yingying and Gong Zhenya are one of them who has not graduated with a master's degree, and the other is a doctorate, counting Ge Jianyu himself, he is not a rich person, so he can only choose one such restaurant.
Li Yu offered a prescription to wake Xu Yingying and Gong Zhenya from their slumber, which can be said to be life-saving. But because of Li Yu's age and the effect of the prescription is too significant, it always gives people a feeling of ease. Think about it, if someone is seriously ill and a child comes and wakes up by urinating, do you think there's something big about it? Xu Yingying and Gong Zhenya said that they wanted to thank Li Yu, but they didn't feel so grand in their hearts.
As soon as Li Yu walked into the restaurant, he guessed what the other party was thinking, but there was no feeling of displeasure. In Li Yu's heart, Xu Yingying and Gong Zhenya are his life-saving benefactors, if they hadn't opened the Medicine Master Cave, there would be no Li Yu today. The poisoning of these two people is all due to Li Yu, and it is a matter of course that he sacrificed a prescription to treat the two, at best, it is just a reward.
With such an idea, of course Li Yu would not pick any gifts, but followed Ge Jianyu and Xu Ying with a smile to the reserved private room.
In the private room, there was already a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old, with his hair parted and glasses, and if it weren't for the dark skin with some color, he would look like a polite and polite person. Li Yu recognized that this person was Gong Zhenya, who was poisoned with Xu Yingying, a doctoral student at Yunjiang University, and was equivalent to a jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. When it comes to Gong Zhenya's complexion, it is naturally because of the traces left by often participating in field archaeological activities. According to Xu Yingying, Gong Zhenya's research ability is quite good, and he has published several papers in core journals, and he is a proud disciple of his mentor Yang Ziyi.
Seeing Li Yu and his entourage walking in, Gong Zhenya hurriedly got up, arched his hand to Li Yu, and said:
"This is Li Yu...... Senior brother, my name is Gong Zhenya. I heard that it was your prescription that saved me and Senior Sister Xu, but I haven't had a chance to express my gratitude in person. ”
When calling Li Yu, Gong Zhenya hesitated, and finally used Ge Jianyu's title.
Li Yu also hurriedly bowed his hand to Gong Zhenya, and the two sides said a few polite words, but no one would sit down first. In the end, Xu Yingying played a round with a big grin, and everyone sat down together with a haha.
The matter of ordering food was naturally handed over to Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying claims to be able to cook, and he is also a complete foodie. What she does best is choosing the best and enough dishes to eat within a given budget, which is a natural skill that several men are ashamed of.
The procedure for eating is much the same, nothing more than chatting first, waiting for the dishes to come up, persuading each other to dish, and then toasting each other, and when you eat until you are full, your relationship is also seven points ripe, so you can start talking about some more in-depth topics.
"Senior Brother Li, I heard Jianyu say, you have been living in the mountains since you were a child, haven't you received compulsory education?" Gong Zhenya asked curiously.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't go to school. ”
"What about you...... It should be literate, right? Gong Zhenya hesitated for a moment, but finally asked. Such a question is indeed a bit abrupt.
Li Yu said: "Master taught me to recognize words...... However, I don't recognize all the simplified characters you use outside the mountain. ”
"In fact, there is a foundation of traditional Chinese characters, and it is not difficult to recognize simple characters." Ge Jianyu said, "Li Yu learns things very quickly, I took him to buy a mobile phone, he never used it, and he could use everything in less than 10 minutes." By the way, when I called Li Yu today, he also said that he was in an Internet café. ”
"Jianyu said you were playing games in an Internet café, isn't that so?" Xu Yingying asked with a smile.
Li Yu nodded a little shyly and said, "Indeed, two friends I just met said that they would take me to open my eyes and play a game called masturbation, but I really don't know how to do it." ”
"She's a master." Ge Jianyu pointed at Xu Yingying with his finger and said, "When she was an undergraduate, she was the president of the school's e-sports association. ”
Xu Yingying said with a smile: "That's because they want to use my name to attract others to sign up, and this is the benefit of a girl being the president." ”
After a few words of idle chat, Gong Zhenya turned back to the earlier topic and asked, "So, Senior Brother Li, you don't plan to find a job in the city, or where to make up for it and get a degree?" ”
"Education, forget it for the time being." Li Yu replied that in the past few days, he has been mixed with Yan Wuliang and others, and he has almost understood many modern concepts and knows what academic qualifications are. "But I really need to find a job to do it, or I'll have a problem making a living," he said. ”
Ge Jianyu said to Gong Zhenya: "Teacher Gao said that he can introduce Li Yu to the cultural relics store to do chores, with a monthly salary of about 3,000, and a commission when there is performance, but unfortunately Li Yu is not interested." ”
Li Yu said: "Teacher Gao's kindness, I naturally understand it. However, I'm planning to do a little business with my friends recently, and the matter at the cultural relics store can only be put aside for now. ”
"Doing business? Do you want to start your own business? Xu Yingying asked.
"It's not a business, it's just a way to make a living." Li Yu said.
Gong Zhenya asked, "What kind of business are you going to do?" ”
Li Yu said: "I really haven't thought about this, there is an uncle who built a restaurant for me, but everyone else thinks it's not a good idea." ”
"Open a restaurant!" Xu Ying ushered in interest, she stared at Li Yu and asked, "Are you short of chefs, how about you see me applying?" ”
"My sister-in-law is so highly educated, isn't it useless to go to a small restaurant to be a chef?" Li Yu only thought Xu Yingying was joking, and replied casually.
Who would have thought that Xu Yingying had a stern look on his face and said, "Li Yu, I'm not joking with you, I'm serious." If you're short of a chef, I'd really like to apply. ”
"Uh......" Li Yu didn't know what to say, until now, he still thought that Xu Yingying was spoofing, but he didn't know how to respond.
Ge Jianyu patted Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, don't make trouble, you didn't see Li Yu scared by you." ”
Xu Yingying said: "I really didn't make trouble, after this incident, I really don't want to do archaeology anymore." Senior Brother Gong, do you remember when we saw that zombie in the Medicine Master's Cave? In the past few days, I have dreamed of him, and it scared me to death. ”
When Li Yu heard this, he couldn't help but pout, he knew that the zombie Xu Yingying was talking about was Fan Wuxian. The old guy didn't know what kind of medicine he had gotten, but he was able to make his body go through nearly 400 years without rotting, and he didn't even change that unbeaten look. Xu Yingying saw it at first glance in the dark cave, and then he was drunk for thousands of years, and it was inevitable that he would leave a shadow in his heart. Speaking of which, archaeology is really not something that ordinary girls can do.
Xu Yingying's choice of the Department of Archaeology was actually helpless, mainly because there were relatively few applicants for this department, and it was easy to be admitted. After studying archaeology, she realized that she was not suitable for this profession, and digging graves all day long was too far from her character. This poisoning made her make up her mind to leave this business, so she said that she was going to give Li Yu a word to be a chef, and she was really a little serious.
Ge Jianyu stroked Xu Yingying's back, comforted her, and then said: "It's okay if you don't want to do archaeology, I'll ask Teacher Gao to see if I can find a place for you here in the Cultural Relics Association." Anyway, the aspect of cultural relics appreciation is also closer to your major. ”
Xu Yingying shook his head and said, "I don't want to deal with those antiques all day long, making a person smell musty all over his body." It's enough to have you in the system, I want to start my own business and be free. ”
Gong Zhenya sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything. After graduating, the students of the Department of Archaeology really do less than two percent of their careers, and it is not surprising that Xu Yingying made such a choice. He followed Xu Yingying's words and asked, "Senior sister, if you want to start a business, do you want to do anything?" ”
"I've figured it out." Xu Yingying said, "I won't tell you, I originally wanted to open a restaurant, no, Li Yu said that he would also open a restaurant, and I happened to go with me." Li Yu, how about I partner with you? ”
Ge Jianyu's face was obviously a little ugly, but he had always been a strict wife, and he only echoed Xu Yingying's various whimsical ideas, and he didn't dare to object. Xu Yingying has told him no less than 30 times in the past about opening a restaurant, and he has even planned with great interest how many branches he will open, how to decorate upstairs and downstairs, and so on. In this regard, Ge Jianyu has always only regarded Xu Yingying's obscenity and felt that it was completely unlikely. However, listening to Xu Yingying's current meaning, it seems that she really has such a thought.
Partnering with Li Yu to open a restaurant? Ge Jianyu didn't know what it was like. Of course, he won't eat Li Yu's vinegar, because Li Yu is six or seven years younger than Xu Yingying, and Xu Yingying must just treat Li Yu as a little brother, and he won't have any other thoughts. Li Yu, after a few days of contact, Ge Jianyu is also a little optimistic, thinking that he is simple, friendly, and smart. However, no matter what, after all, he was also someone who had just known him for a few days, how could he let Xu Yingying cooperate with him?
Xu Yingying doesn't have as much thought as Ge Jianyu, as a girl, she looks at people more intuitively. She has been in contact with Li Yu for a total of two or three hours, but she feels that this young man is a trustworthy partner, and it is a good choice to cooperate with him.
