Chapter 188: A la carte
For example, if a person is tired and hungry but can't find a place to eat or live, as long as he can find a university, he can not only easily solve the above problems, but also ensure that the price is moderate. The only downside is that the accommodation may not be too comfortable, and frankly speaking, the small hotels scattered around the school are mostly cheap, but the environment is really not complimentary.
Although in a sense, students make much easier money, but there are still very few students who can really spend a lot of money, and if there is a need for this, the first thing to value is an economic problem.
At the same time, the economy is naturally a lot less magnificent. Liu Xin drove the car, led by Cheng Zhichao, an old horse, and walked six or seven places where he could fill his stomach, but he was vetoed by the two eldest ladies in the car without hesitation, until he turned to the side door of the school, and found a hotel opposite the side door that satisfied the two eldest ladies.
It's also the only two-story restaurant in the neighborhood, and it may seem a little shabby compared to the big restaurants in the city center. But around here, compared with those small stores that are only twenty or thirty square meters, there is already a feeling of a flock of cranes.
Liu Xin let out a long breath, found a place to stop the car, glared back at Cheng Zhichao, and muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "Your school is also a famous school in the provincial capital, why is it so difficult to find a place to eat around?" ”
Cheng Zhichao smiled bitterly: "It's not that it's hard to find a place to eat, it's just that it's hard to find a restaurant that can satisfy both of you." There is no way to do this, these restaurants are all pointing to the students of our school, making them too high-end, and one meal will kill people's living expenses for two months, who would dare to come? ”
"It can't be like a street stall, it's uncomfortable to look at."
"You don't know that, do you? That's what you want. Cheng Zhichao's eyes shone brightly, "Six or seven good buddies, roll up your arms and sleeves and sit at this kind of roadside stall, regardless of whether it can drink or not, let's make the atmosphere up first." If you were in those big restaurants, you wouldn't have that atmosphere. If I have the opportunity one day, I will show you it. ”
Fang Xiaochen's eyes widened, and he looked questioned: "The girl is like you said?" ”
Cheng Zhichao shook his head: "It's different, girls still want an image, if it's the same as our boys, what kind of system will it become?" Under normal circumstances, they are looking for a place with a relatively good environment, and it is best to get a private room, and a few girls close the door, which is said to be more fierce than our boys. It's a pity that most of them are behind closed doors and can't be seen. ”
Fang Xiaochen's face turned cold: "The girls in your school want an image, don't Liu Xin and I want an image?" Cheng Zhichao, what kind of heart do you have? ”
The eldest lady was angry, Cheng Zhichao's face suddenly turned like earth, and then he remembered that the two eldest ladies in the car were both serious daughters, and they had always been quite concerned about their image in front of people. He had a preconceived idea and regarded these two women as his closest people, so he casually said that he wanted to lead them to see the roadside stall-like environment in Liu Xin's mouth, but he unexpectedly touched Fang Xiaochen's scales.
Liu Xin saw Cheng Zhichao's embarrassment, and couldn't help pursing her lips, not only did she not get out of the car in a hurry, but hugged her arms, looking like she wanted to watch a good show. But Fang Xiaochen didn't continue to give Cheng Zhichao a face, but after snorting, he pushed the door and got out of the car with a straight face. Cheng Zhichao grinned behind him and laughed strangely, and followed.
After getting out of the car, Miss Fang raised her head and looked at this two-story building, which was slightly dilapidated, but it was the only restaurant in the neighborhood that looked more pleasing to the eye, the expression on her face was uncertain, and finally sighed: "Liu Xin is right, the shops around your school are really not decent enough, I don't know what is going on inside." ”
What is inside, Cheng Zhichao is not very clear. Although this guy has a good background, Cheng Weiguo and Shan Weiqing have reached a high degree of agreement on living expenses, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing every month's living expenses, but they don't have much spare money for extra consumption. Even if you move your mouth, at best, you can only go to a place that can "liven up the atmosphere" a few times. Even if you encounter an important day such as a classmate's birthday, you can just find a relatively good place to get together. ,
First, girls' consumption outlook is much more prominent than that of boys, and secondly, girls' vanity also forces them to be unable to consume at the same level as boys. The main point is that the boys have far more of these extra purchases than the girls, and it is really financially unaffordable for them to come to this kind of place every time.
After Fang Xiaochen finished talking to himself, he didn't hear Cheng Zhichao's reply, and he was slightly surprised. After turning his head and seeing the look on his face, he seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but feel distressed again, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and smiled: "But it doesn't matter, whether the environment is good or not, let's go in and have a look." ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
To be honest, the decoration inside is also average, but the business is excellent, several private rooms on the second floor have been occupied, and only three or four empty tables are left on the first floor. Fang Xiaochen originally planned to find a quiet place on the second floor, take Liu Xin, a light bulb with a very high degree, and enjoy the three-person world, but after talking for a long time, the boss could only lead them to a small seat by the window with an apologetic face. As for the remaining two or three tables that looked relatively large, it was obvious that these three were more wasteful to use.
Although Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin were full of temper, the arrogance on their bodies was not everywhere, and after sitting down with a reluctant face, they resigned themselves to their fate after a few minutes. looked around expressionlessly, and found that what Cheng Zhichao said was really good, in addition to the men and women in the society, the students looked like most of them, and the whole hotel was full of yin. Most of those girls are good-looking, well-dressed, and look like they have a good family environment, even if they are not beautiful girls, at least they should be the type of small jasper.
This kind of person, one of the ethics in ancient times, is "can't walk skirt, smile without teeth", even in school, most of them are as proud as peacocks, but here, Cheng Zhichao finally saw the other side of these half of the sky. I don't know if this environment made them lose their sense of crisis at the same time, they also gave up their vigilance, and they always changed the old Miss Qianjin, with a weak and unruly image, a much louder voice, and a lot more rudeness.
Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin also watched it with great interest, and discussed a few words from time to time. It wasn't until the waiter walked up to a few people with a small notebook and signaled that the three of them should order food that the two women withdrew their eyes.
Fang Xiaochen picked up the menu, looked at it a few times, licked his lips and said to Liu Xin: "I was still a little hungry just now, but now that I pick up the menu, I don't know what to order, you order, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Liu Xin sneered, threw the menu stuffed by Fang Xiaochen to Cheng Zhichao: "I don't know what to eat, I'll leave this job to a man, I'll go to the bathroom too." ”
These two girls are really not at a loss, they have played together since they were young, and even the meticulous work of going to the bathroom is also advancing and retreating together. Cheng Zhichao took the menu and shouted, "Hey, you two are gone, how do I know what you want to eat?" ”
Liu Xinyan smiled, turned around and said, "I can't think of what we want to eat, then order what you want to eat, it's quite a big man, you can't do this kind of trivial thing, it's really useless." ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored Cheng Zhichao anymore, and asked the waiter about the direction of the bathroom hand in hand with Fang Xiaochen, and went away with each other.
Cheng Zhichao took the menu, looked at it twice like Fang Xiaochen, turned his head, and found that the waiter was standing in front of him, with a strange smile. The waitress was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with two small dimples next to her cheeks when she smiled, which looked quite cute, but her expression made Cheng Zhichao very unhappy.
Originally, when she first came, she didn't have this kind of expression, but after Liu Xin finished talking about Cheng Zhichao, the little girl's expression changed. Even a fool can see that this little girl thinks that Cheng Zhichao is such a big old man, let a woman say that she is useless to her face, without refutation, and her bones are inevitably softer.
This dead girl not only eavesdropped on her conversation, but also laughed in her heart, which is really unreasonable. Cheng Zhichao snorted in his heart, glared at her, and said, "Little sister, do you know why the two of them went to the bathroom together and left me here alone?" ”,
The waiter shook his head and smiled, "I don't know." ”
"Brother told you that the reason why they ran away and left me to order food was because they wanted me to order what I liked. These two women both knew that I had a hard time at school these days, so I hid to the side first, so that I didn't have to worry about what they wanted to eat, just concentrate on what I wanted to eat. ”
The waiter had a look of sudden realization: "I see." ”
"It has to be this way." Cheng Zhichao's face was stern, and he asked seriously: "How is it?" My brother is happy, right? ”
"Happiness, happiness." The waiter nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Big brother, you are so happy." ”
"I think so, too." found an excuse for happiness for himself, and successfully covered up the embarrassment caused by Liu Xin's hatred of himself, Cheng Zhichao regained his self-esteem again, and looked at the menu while reporting the name of the dish.
Although the waiter was young, he was well-informed, and he could see at a glance that the eldest brother was happy with him just now, and it was completely his expression just now that he couldn't accept it, so he put away his strange expression at the moment, and calmly wrote down the names of the dishes reported by Cheng Zhichao in the notebook.
Cheng Zhichao ordered the dish as if no one was around, but he couldn't help but make calculations in his heart, feeling that this dish seemed to be Fang Xiaochen's favorite food, and Liu Xin should also like that dish, so he had to order it. And this dish is 100% my favorite, so I have to order it. Dotting around, the waiter's expression became strange again, and his small mouth couldn't help opening into an "O" shape, and he couldn't help but cough twice.
Cheng Zhichao: "Huh? With a sigh, he stopped announcing the name of the dish, held the menu in his hand, and asked the waiter with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?" ”
"This ......, nothing." When the waiter heard him ask, the expression on his face immediately became calm, and the title of Cheng Zhichao was changed from eldest brother to another: "Sir, do you want to order other dishes?" ”
"Let's just do this for the time being, there are three of us, we can't eat more, and it will be wasted again."
"It's okay, we can pack it here."
"Packing? That's a good idea. Cheng Zhichao laughed and said: "Little sister, you are young, and many things are not clear, for example, who knows that Chinese food is hard work, you can't deeply understand it." My brother told you that although you can pack here, there are only three of us, and if you order too much, it will still cause a lot of waste. Wasting food is the greatest evil. ”
At the beginning, Cheng Zhichao was still a little preachy, but later, it was a little heartbroken.
The waiter pursed his lips, stood there holding the little book, forced not to laugh, his little face was flushed, and he couldn't stop nodding yes.
Cheng Zhichao said for two or three minutes, but the waiter just echoed and did not show the slightest displeasure, so he was satisfied with the conversation and asked casually: "By the way, how many dishes did I order?" ”
The waiter glanced at the menu, his eyes showed an indescribable brilliance, and said slowly: "Mr. is quite economical, only ordered twelve dishes." ”
"How much? Ten...... Twelve-course? Cheng Zhi was taken aback. When he ordered, he just felt that this dish should also be ordered, and that dish had to be ordered, but he didn't count how many dishes he ordered in his heart. I didn't expect that I was so talented in ordering, and I ordered twelve dishes in three times and five divided by two, no wonder the waiter couldn't help coughing twice to remind himself. If it weren't for this little girl reminding herself, maybe she would have continued.
Thinking that he had ordered twelve dishes, and was ashamed to talk about the truth of diligence and thrift, and hard work, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but feel a slight fever on his face, rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "There are only three of us, and we ordered twelve dishes, a bit much, right?" ”
"Not much, not much, we can pack here."
"I can pack it, but I think it's a little more." Cheng Zhichao's biggest advantage is that he can change his mistakes, so he couldn't help but take the waiter's bookkeeper's bookkeeper, think about it, take a pen, and cross out six dishes. Finally, he handed the small notebook back to the waiter, "Let's order these six dishes first." ”
The waiter didn't refuse, answered, and asked, "Do you drink?" ”
"You serve the food first, and the wine will be discussed when the two of them come back."
