Chapter 185: The Old Lady Who Sells Oil
The two took the elevator to the ground floor and walked towards the outside of the newspaper building. When they passed by the door, the two security guards just now saw Gong Xiping and Ling Yu walking out and immediately greeted them. When they saw Ling Yu affectionately holding Gong Xiping's arm, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, but it didn't show it on their faces.
One of the security guards said to Gong Xiping with a smile on his face, "Yo, are you leaving?" ”
Gong Xiping nodded at him and said, "Yes, let's go." ”
"Let's go."
"Okay, thank you, master."
Gong Xiping said, took out the Chinese cigarette from his pocket again, and threw one to each of them. The two security guards took the cigarettes and immediately said flatteredly: "Yo, that's so polite, I'm sorry." ”
Gong Xiping waved his hand casually, and then continued to walk forward with Ling Yu, and soon walked out of the newspaper building.
The two walked out of the newspaper building, and Ling Yu suddenly laughed. She said, "You're so good, it's only the first time you've been here, and you can make those two security guards so polite to you." You know, these two security guards are notoriously difficult, and anyone who has ever been to the newspaper knows about them. I was so surprised to see them greet you directly. ”
Gong Xiping shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a fox and a fake tiger, and I completely borrowed your light." ”
"Lend my light?"
"That's right. You are a well-known person in the newspaper, and you actually called the two little security guards in person, which must have made them feel flattered, so they were also polite to me. Just now they saw you holding my arm and coming down, so they knew that we didn't have a normal relationship. They don't dare to compliment you directly, because that will give people the impression of being a sycophant to the leader, and they are very polite to me, which is more likely to arouse your favor. So"
"So you ask for the surname to push the boat down the river, and then give them a cigarette, so that they can change from the original hypocritical politeness to sincere politeness. If you want to win people's hearts, you are really too clever. ”
Gongxi glanced at Ling Yu and said, "I'm not as insidious as you say. It is also normal for men to have a cigarette. ”
Ling Yu grimaced at Gong Xiping and said, "Yes, I know, man!" ”
As they spoke, they walked to the parking lot in front of the newspaper building. The parking lot is not very large, and it can only park a dozen cars at most. Generally speaking, the cars of newspaper employees or customers have to be parked in the underground parking lot. This parking lot can only be parked by some newspaper heavyweights such as the president, editor-in-chief and Ling Yu, as well as some VIP customers with special identities.
By this time, everyone else had already left work, so there were only two cars parked in the parking lot. One is a red Golf GTI and the other is a yellow Ferrari F430.
As soon as Ling Yu and Gong Xiping walked into the parking lot, the door of the yellow Ferrari opened immediately, and a middle-aged man about 40 years old came out of the car, wearing a brand-name suit, medium build, dignified appearance, and good temperament.
He walked directly towards Ling Yu, and said as he walked, "Miss Ling, why did you get off work." ”
When Ling Yu saw someone coming, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Mr. Li? ”
Li Jian walked to Ling Yu at a distance of about 2 meters and said, "Miss Ling, I've been waiting for you here for a few hours. Actually, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to invite Miss Ling to admire her face and have a meal together. ”
Ling Yu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I made an appointment with a friend." ”
Li Jian had actually seen Gong Xiping a long time ago, but he saw that Gong Xiping's dress was very ordinary, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He looked at Gong Xiping, stretched out his left hand, and said, "Oh, hello, first time we met, my name is Li Jian." ”
Gong Xiping also politely stretched out his left hand, shook his symbolic surname, and said, "Hello, my name is Gong Xiping." ”
Li Jian smiled slightly and said, "Miss Ling's friend, that's my friend." If you don't dislike it, then please join Miss Ling, and we will have a meal together. ”
Gong Xiping didn't answer, just looked at Ling Yu. Ling Yu didn't show any affection at all, and directly refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." We have planned it a long time ago, today is a world for two, I hope Mr. Li will forgive me. ”
Li Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then noticed Ling Yu holding Gong Xiping's hand. There was a gloomy look in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Miss Ling, in fact, you should know my heart for you."
Ling Yu immediately interrupted him and said, "Mr. Li, I can only say that I understand your intentions. However, I already have someone I like, so I can't accept your kindness. ”
Li Jian glanced at Gong Xiping again and said, "I really don't have a chance at all?" ”
Ling Yu bowed his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Finally, a look of disappointment hung on Li Jian's face. He said with some loss: "Okay, then I won't hinder you." Bye. ”
With that, he turned around, got into the car gloomily, started the car, and slowly drove away from the parking lot. Perhaps because he was too disappointed, the original passionate yellow Ferrari F430 also looked dull and weak, so he left silently, and then disappeared into the night. (For Li Jian's background, please see the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day special)
Gong Xiping sighed and said, "This person is actually a good person." ”
Ling Yu smiled and said disapprehantly, "It's just a good person." ”
"I thought he was quite pitiful just now."
Ling Yu said with a smile: "If you experience this kind of scene often, you will be numb. ”
Ling Yu said, then pulled Gong Xiping and walked to his car. After opening the car door, the two got into the red Golf GTI together.
After fastening the safety belt, Ling Yu turned his head to look at Gong Xiping and said, "Honey, where are we going?" ”
Gong Xiping thought for a while and said, "Wherever you go, I will go." ”
Ling Yu thought about it and had an idea in his heart. So she smiled and said, "Okay, you can sell it to me today." ”
With that, she drove the car out of the parking lot, and then slammed on the accelerator, and the red GTI swept a phantom and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Since it is past the rush hour, there are not many vehicles on the road. Moreover, Ling Yu's speed is not slow, and the average speed is basically maintained at about 100 yards per hour, regardless of the waiting time when encountering a red light.
Although he said that he would follow Ling Yu, Gong Xiping still couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
Ling Yu seemed to have expected Gong Xiping to ask such a question, so Yanran smiled and said, "You are really patient, you have to wait until now to ask." ”
"I'm just asking."
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get to the place anyway."
For Ling Yu's blatant selling, Gong Xiping has nothing to do. So, he could only look out the window, hoping to see some clues from the buildings on both sides.
The car drove to the vicinity of Langao Road, Shiquan Road, and Ling Yu slowed down. After turning the corner and driving to Shiquan Road, she kept looking around and slowed down to 20 yards. After driving all the way along Shiquan Road to Xunyang Road, Ling Yu drove the car to Xunyang Road again.
Xunyang Road is a small road with only two lanes and no non-motorized lanes. But fortunately, it is relatively late, and Xunyang Road is not the main road, so there are almost no cars on the road.
After driving a distance of about 200 meters or so, Ling Yu suddenly shouted happily: "It's here, it's really still there!" ”
Gong Xiping looked at the unfamiliar buildings on both sides of the road and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything special here?" ”
Ling Yu pulled over the car, and then said to Gong Xiping with a smile: "Quick, get out of the car, you will know when you get out of the car." ”
After Ling Yu finished speaking, he unbuckled the safety belt and got out of the car first. Seeing Ling Yu get out of the car, Gong Xiping had no choice but to untie the safety belt and follow Ling Yu out of the car.
After the two got out of the car, Ling Yu took Gong Xiping to the other side of the road. Although Xunyang Road is not very wide, there are a variety of shops along the street. Because it is a residential area, there are a variety of large and small shops. There are those who sell toys, stationery, clothes, convenience stores, small supermarkets, and so on.
Ling Yu took Gong Xiping and walked to a food stall. The food stall is rudimentary, with only one tricycle on which there is a briquette stove and a large oil pan on the briquette stove. Inside the pan was a pot of hot oil, steaming and smoking.
The owner of the food stall is a very old lady. Looking at the old lady, she should be 80 years old. At an advanced age like her, she can still pedal three wheels out to set up a food stall, which has to be admired.
The old lady suddenly saw a beautiful big girl who could only be seen on TV, and walked to her stall with an extremely handsome young man, and immediately said earnestly: "Little sister, do you want oil dun or rice cake?" ”
Before Ling Yu could speak, Gong Xiping suddenly rushed to say: "Three oil piers, a piece of rice cake." However, it is necessary to fry the rice cake first, and then fry the fried dun zi. In this way, the radish flavor in the oil dun will not seep into the rice cake. ”
Ling Yu looked at Gong Xiping with wide eyes and said, "Do you actually remember?" ”
Gong Xiping glanced at Ling Yu and said, "When I saw this stall, I remembered it." ”
The old lady was on the side, and quickly put the rice cake into the oil pot, and the hot oil pot immediately emitted a tempting fragrance. Then, the old lady used a pair of chopsticks that were several times longer than ordinary chopsticks, reached into the oil pot and turned it over a few times, and said, "At a glance, you two know that you two are authentic Shencheng people." Only authentic Shencheng people will know that if you fry the fried dun first, the fishy smell of radish will seep into the rice cake. ”
Ling Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Grandma, we are all natives of Shencheng." And I know that you've been setting up your stall here for decades. I used to eat at your place when I was a kid. ”
Hearing Ling Yu's words, the old lady immediately showed a smug expression, and said, "That's right, I have been setting up a stall here for more than 30 years, and there are countless people who have eaten my old woman's fried dun zi and rice cakes. There are also many white-collar workers, saying that they are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and they still want to eat my old woman's oily dunzi. Many people have eaten at my place when they were young. ”
Gong Xiping nodded and said, "Not bad." We haven't been here for more than 20 years. When we were kids, we used to sneak here to eat rice cakes and fried dumplings. ”
The old lady glanced at Gong Xiping, and said with a smile: "Young man, I see that you are not even 20 years old, how can you talk old-fashioned, you haven't been here for more than 20 years, and you are afraid that you haven't been born more than 20 years ago." ”
After the old lady finished speaking, Ling Yu laughed first. Gong Xiping also laughed when he heard this. This kind of trivial matter, Gong Xiping will neither explain nor care.
In the blink of an eye, the fried dun and the rice cake were all fried. Ling Yu took it and threw the old lady a 100 yuan note. The old lady saw the red [***], and immediately said in horror: "Ouch, little sister, such a big denomination, my old woman can't find it!" ”
Ling Yu smiled and said, "Then you don't have to look for it." ”
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and said with a little trembling: "This ...... Don't have to look for it? You...... Your few fried duns and rice cakes, even ...... I can't even pay ten dollars. ”
Ling Yu said with an indifferent face: "It's okay, just give it to you." It's a cold day, and you're so old, so you should give you more. ”
