Chapters 815-816
Wang Qiqi rubbed her eyes and walked down the stairs, and saw that Zhao Rongrong and Shi Hongrui were already standing at the gate, looking like they were going out, Wang Qiqi felt very strange, "Are you going to learn to drive?" "Today is the weekend, basically everyone will review late on Friday, and then they will sleep late during the day, and Wang Qiqi is also taking advantage of the fact that we have not yet entered the all-weather standby state, and it is lazy to sleep a few lazy sleeps, Mark said that once they enter a busy state, her assistant will not be easy, except for the current work, she will also be on top of everything else.
Wang Qiqi doesn't know if this is considered to be our inspection through the BOSS, although even if you are a miscellaneous person, follow them behind the gangsters, you may learn a thing or two from it, Wang Qiqi knows that she didn't do this assistant in vain, but the problem is that Wang Qiqi is worried that she will become a strong woman if she follows them, although Comrade Song Yao has always said that we are already a bit of a strong woman, Wang Qiqi has never recognized this, but if you really follow the boss for a long time, Maybe maybe she will become half a strong woman, Han Tao said that although there is pressure, he is also a little used to it, and Feng Xuanxiang knew that Wang Qiqi actually became the professor's assistant, he said that he was really jealous of Wang Qiqi, not that his graduate tutor was not famous, but that he was not as lucky as Qiqi to enter this team, basically all the people who entered the team were college students, and few graduate students entered, so the time for studying was really short. It's so good that the pie fell on Kiki's head, although it's just an assistant,
Zhao Rongrong didn't expect to see Wang Qiqi so early, although it was already nine o'clock, "Well, we have an activity in the club today, we have to go over early, and I won't come back for lunch or dinner." We're going to review our homework in the library. β
Wang Qiqi sighed, and when she was about to ask them what they had for dinner, Zhao Rongrong raised the bag in her hand, "I made some sandwiches." β
Wang Qiqi sighed, and then stopped ringing, "I make dumplings at night and leave some stomach." β
Making dumplings? Zhang Yan and Shi Hongrui looked at Wang Qiqi in surprise, isn't that troublesome? "Dumpling wrappers are sold here?" If you have ready-made dumpling wrappers, it's much simpler.
Wang Qiqi shook her head, "Yanyan said that she can roll dumpling skins." "I have to say that although Zhang Yan is not good at cooking, she is very good at this kind of work. For example, the hot pot conditioning is good, and after chatting yesterday, I realized that she could roll dumpling skins, otherwise Wang Qiqi would not have done this. "I'll wrap up with the vines." Wang Qiqi has planned it, and when the time comes, it will be good to pack more and put it in the refrigerator for supper.
"Okay, good." Of course, Shi Hongrui raised her hand and agreed, anyway, they didn't want to work, of course, they had already gotten up early in the morning to clean the house, "That skin is thinner, and the meat is more." Don't eat dumplings all over the skin. β
"Don't worry." After Wang Qiqi said goodbye to the two of them, she went to the kitchen to take the meat out of the refrigerator and thaw it, and ate the whole beef filling today to be extravagant, and waited for Wang Qiqi to make some preparations. She realized that there was a very important thing, that is, there was no tool for rolling dumpling skins, "Oh, no." Big problem. "How can you roll the skin without this tool, if you rely on your hands, Wang Qiqi estimates that it is really going to become dough. Alas, do you want to disappoint Zhao Rongrong and them?
Zhang Yan yawned and walked in from outside, and when she heard Wang Qiqi say that the problem was not a big deal, she felt very strange, and asked Qiqi Zhilu that she was worried about this, although not having tools is a troublesome matter, but, "Go to Chinatown to see, you can't have this kind of thing, just go to the place where you bought a boiler last time." Zhang Yan thinks that the store is really a bit like a robot cat's pocket, with a lot of things for sale that you don't expect.
"Is that still hairy?" Since they plan to make dumplings when they get home from lunch in the afternoon, can they still make dumplings if they don't buy tools? When the flour is ready, can you make gnocchi and eat it? For that thing, Wang Qiqi really doesn't like to eat it, and it is full of flour when she bites it, even if it is a gnocchi boiled in broth, it can't change anything.
"Fat." Zhang Yan was very sure, "If you don't have it, there will be thin sticks." Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and said, I really haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, which makes Zhang Yan very greedy, if she doesn't satisfy her hunger today, it will take at least a week, which will suffocate her to death.
Wang Qiqi stared at Zhang Yan for a long time, "You can handle the skin, I'm only responsible for the bag." She paused, "I won't eat that gnocchi soup." Wang Qiqi really didn't like the pasta very much, if it weren't for Zhang Yan's insistence on eating dumplings, and Qiqi considered that the dumplings could be potstickers if fried, she would not be happy to get them.
"Don't worry." Although Zhang Yan didn't have much confidence in herself, she still said with certainty for the dumplings flying in front of her.
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered when she spoke, of course Wang Qiqi noticed, although she wanted to say that Yanyan didn't need to be reckless, but let's not ruin someone's mood of wanting to eat dumplings, Wang Qiqi felt that it was really not that we could make dumplings, isn't it the same flour on the outside and meat on the inside, we will still make it, at most, the wrapping is not so round and the skin is not so thin, "Cheng, you make noodles?" "Although the dough is made with hot water and flour, but for Qiqi, it is really difficult to grasp the old, in fact, Wang Qiqi is also stupid, she has made pastries so many times, isn't it also good to make powder, in fact, Wang Qiqi remembers how unsuccessful she was in her previous life to make dumplings to help make dough, and completely forgot about the great increase in ability since rebirth.
"I'll come." Zhang Yan didn't think about this stubble, since Qiqi won't, let's do it. "Is that enough?" She looked at the thawed meat that Wang Qiqi took out, it was really not a lot, didn't Qiqi say that she wanted to pack more and keep it for supper or dinner?
"Let's go to the supermarket and buy it." Wang Qiqi said indifferently, I was supposed to buy it tomorrow, since I was going to Chinatown today, I simply purchased it directly, to be honest, the food cost of five people is really amazing, especially the five delicate girls, Wang Qiqi can only comfort herself that she should go out to eat, eating well is good for your health, especially when the academic pressure is so great, and Shi Hongrui They calculate the food expenses for the high, they eat out every day, and it is okay to eat for the same money, Of course, Wang Qiqi was embarrassed to say it, but she was worried that she would suffer if she ate less.
Since there was still a little time before noon, Wang Qiqi returned to the room and was busy translating yesterday to make money, and it didn't take long for Zhang Yan and Shi Man to enter their rooms. Wang Qiqi didn't think it was strange, thinking that they were coming up to review their homework, but they didn't expect them to pick up the fabric, "Are you going to make cushions?" "Zhang Yan doesn't have to do it, how can Shi Man do it, hmph, this guy snatched a long pillow yesterday, and ran away if he grabbed it, the speed was so fast, it was like a wolf chasing her behind. Back in the room, the sound of the door closing made Zhao Rongrong next door and the others all poke their heads out to see what was going on, Wang Qiqi blushed for someone when she thought about it.
"Didn't you grab one yesterday, why are you embarrassed to make one yourself?" Wang Qiqi asked happily, but she knew that she was dreaming, it was impossible for someone to wake up and become so diligent, of course, even if she became diligent, she would not return the stolen things, for her it was her spoils.
Shi Man threw a roll of his eyes at Wang Qiqi. "I have one, but Yanyan doesn't have one, we discussed it, let's make one together. Besides, what was already stolen from me. How will it be returned to you? Shi Man said very scoundrelly, "By the way, I finished yesterday's manuscript and sent it to your mailbox." You drop by and take a look. "After talking about it here at Qiqi yesterday, Shi Man, who went back, started work overnight to get the job done and make money first. After reading the book for a day, Shi Man felt that his head was about to rise.
"I've got it done, too." Zhang Yan originally thought that she would drive the night train alone, but she didn't expect Shi Man to do it, "I can't sleep when I go back, so I'll drive a night train." Originally, she saw that Qiqi was not finished, so she didn't mention it, but she didn't expect that even Shi Man had it done, "By the way, what are we going to eat at noon, steak or pizza?" β
Wang Qiqi and Shi Man didn't like it very much when they heard that they were eating this, but what else can they eat here, there is a big meal, but it is too expensive, and it is very stressful for us poor students, "Otherwise, let's buy some seafood and cook it ourselves." Shi Man suddenly wanted to eat seafood, that thing is difficult to do, but it is easy to say that it is easy to do, it is just boiled directly, what we eat is the original flavor, it just so happens that Zhao Rongrong and they are not there, don't buy too much, as long as the wreckage is disposed of before they come back.
Eating seafood? Wang Qiqi agrees with this proposal, but this also has to ask the guest to agree, there is seafood for sale in the supermarket, the price Wang Qiqi swept, well, it's not too expensive, of course, it's expensive to replace Grandpa Mao, Wang Qiqi only dares to buy some sea fish back to do it at most, never dares to buy shellfish or anything, mainly according to Shi Man's words, how much meat is out of the shell, five people can't eat enough to stuff their teeth, it's not that they haven't thought about buying it themselves, but how can it be done when the time comes? It's all a problem.
Of course, Zhang Yan has no problem, "Cheng, then let's go now?" "Since you buy it and make it yourself, let's start early and come back early, and then you can watch your homework." By the way, Kiki, you want the library, and I'll borrow some books too. "Just now, Zhang Yan went upstairs to sort out her homework and make a list of the books to be borrowed.
"So what are you waiting for, let's go." As soon as Shi Man heard that the gold owner had no opinion, he immediately flew upstairs to change his clothes and leave, "Oh, by the way, Kiki, the coffee powder is gone." "People who stay up late have a great demand for coffee, and as for Kiki, she prefers to drink tea, and she doesn't have a lot of requirements for coffee, so she doesn't pay much attention to the inventory of coffee powder.
Lost ground coffee? Wang Qiqi casually asked about the price of the coffee powder bought, "I'll take you to a place to buy coffee later." "The coffee that the BOSS drinks over there is much better than the coffee powder that I bought before, and the price is a little more expensive than what we are now (of course, it is the agreement price, the price of zero sales, Wang Qiqi doesn't know what to do), I heard Mark say that when I went there to buy coffee, I could buy it at the same price, fortunately, when Wang Qiqi ordered coffee a few days ago, I met with the boss over there, otherwise the deceased wife would not have the courage to come to the door, the other party doesn't know us, how can we be given this price.
"The coffee over there is good?" Shi Man asked suspiciously, but soon she understood where Kiki would take him to, "It can't be the coffee you drink where you work." β
Wang Qiqi nodded, and with a sigh, Shi Man's face turned a little pale, "God, what kind of characters are they, what kind of characters are we, people drink with public money, and we drink with our own money." "Three cups of coffee per capita a day, fifteen cups a day, a day of coffee consumption is also a lot, a month, coffee consumption is not a small number," forget it. Our current coffee is still okay, and besides, we are just a reminder. "Anyway, Shi Man must dissuade Kiki from wanting to buy that kind of coffee and come back.
Zhang Yan also looked at Wang Qiqi with a disapproving face, she also felt that there was no need for this, "Ten yuan for a cup of coffee and twenty yuan for coffee, we can't drink anything." "Since it's a refreshment, we don't have the luxury to buy high-priced things, especially," if you want to change, let's discuss it. "Don't see the bill then, someone is going to protest. Everyone is a bitter international student.
Wang Qiqi looked at the two people insisting, and didn't argue with them, so she said the purchase price again, and saw two surprised faces without surprise, "Ah, you also eat such cheap coffee?" β
"Ah, your boss is really stingy enough, just let everyone eat coffee like this."
The two of them began to discuss, and Professor Steven, who was stingy, got up, completely forgetting that a few minutes ago the two of them had said that coffee was just for refreshment, and that there was no need to buy it too expensive. Wang Qiqi could only shake her head, typically, she used her own heartache, and the more expensive the better.
"Don't worry, it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, do you think they'll drink it? "Don't look at those people who say that they can eat, in fact, they have very high requirements for food," they currently order food from several stores. It is also left after they have been eliminated repeatedly, and it is said that it is not very good, and they should prepare to absorb some new stores. "Wang Qiqi will not bring food when she goes there now. Order directly, although the taste is average, but the province brought it, of course, Wang Qiqi is also worried that if Mark and they know that we can cook, it will bring big trouble, yesterday's farewell party, Mark and a few of them proposed whether to get an oven, as for why the oven, who will use the oven, don't think about it, you will know who Lu Dao is.
Wang Qiqi and Zhang Yan heard Qiqi say this, looked at each other, and saw the meaning of the heart in each other's eyes, "Then let's go and see it immediately?" "Although the price is a little more expensive, it is also within the acceptable range, but I don't know if the quality of the boss of the road to Professor Steven is the same.
Wang Qiqi took out a business card of the owner of the coffee shop from her pocket, contacted the other party, and after knowing the exact address of the road, she drove on the road, although she had asked the route, but Wang Qiqi still asked for a letter before finding the place, what made Qiqi even more frustrated was that the place where the store was located had actually been opened for the first time, but she was not very sure that she was looking for a place in circles around here, and it was not an old gentleman who pointed to the small alley and said that it was there, Wang Qiqi didn't know that the so-called coffee shop that had been open for a hundred years was actually nested in a small road.
"It's been a hundred years since this store was opened." Shi Man walked on the path and asked in a low voice, although I don't know where this store is, but along the way, I found that the houses around here are really of a certain age, of course, they are very well preserved and very tasteful, but a century-old store is nested in this corner, and there is no development at all, "If it is in China, this kind of store will either close its doors or develop a chain store or move to a prosperous area." β
"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Wang Qiqi thinks that Shi Man's words are quite right, but people are reluctant to develop the idea of having a family, "It is said that this store has several coffee gardens in various parts of the world, maybe people don't need to ask how good the store is." "Renting a shop on the main road outside, business will be good, but the relative cost will be higher, and this store should do business through word of mouth, and if you do a good job in the online store business in the future, you really don't even need a store to sell coffee online."
Shi Man said that he didn't understand this, but sometimes the foreigner's thinking really didn't understand very well, "Last time I went shopping with Rui Rui, I passed by a place that looked like a botanical and botanical garden, but I didn't expect it to be a restaurant, which is quite famous." If it weren't for the markings at the door, she wouldn't have been sure.
After walking for a while, I walked to the middle of the alley, and finally found a place, the storefront is really not very big, "Ah, this storefront?" "After a hundred years of development, the faΓ§ade is really not good, it looks quite small.
Wang Qiqi pulled Shi Man's clothes, although we are speaking Chinese, but also be careful, the three people walked in, found that it was a passage, and the walls on both sides were hung with pictures and materials related to coffee, "It feels like a coffee museum." Shi Man was surprised, this didn't look like a coffee shop at all.
Wang Qiqi snorted, walked about five or six meters, and found that he entered a very bright place, to the surprise of the three of them, it turned out to be a courtyard-like place, and then there were a lot of tables and chairs, and a few people were drinking coffee, "Cafe?" Shi Man said in surprise. But it's normal to think about the shops that sell coffee beans and sell coffee as well.
Wang Qiqi looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, and at this time, Zhang Yan pulled down her clothes, "There is a young man on your right to greet you?" Do you know him? If it weren't for the other party waving in our direction, and then there was no one around us in this direction, she wouldn't think that the other party was greeting us, and Shi Man swept in that direction before, but she didn't know the other party's expression at all.
Wang Qiqi turned her head to look over, "Ah, it's Mark." Wang Qiqi didn't expect to meet him by such a coincidence, but why was there a man on the side. I thought I could meet his girlfriend. "I'm going to say hi." Now that we have met each other, the other party has recognized us, no matter what, we have to say hello to him.
When Shi Man heard that it was Mark, she was looking elsewhere, and immediately retracted her gaze to look at the direction that Zhang Yan said before, and found that the other party was still quite elite, wearing a polp shirt, a beige windbreaker outside, and jeans underneath. With a pair of eyes, quite Sven, well, from the outside. Shi Man felt that he was similar to Han Tao, as for the other man on the side, Shi Man directly ignored it, "Let's go over and say hello together." Shi Man grabbed Wang Qiqi, who wanted to go over alone to say hello.
Wang Qiqi didn't want to take Shi Man over. Let's just go over and say hello, is it necessary for all three of us to go, but Shi Man pulled his clothes and didn't let us go. Wang Qiqi had no choice but to agree to her to go over together, Shi Man had passed, and Zhang Yan could only follow along.
"Hi Mark." Wang Qiqi walked over to say hello.
Mark discussed things with his friends and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect to meet Angel, "Hello, you're here to buy coffee." β
Wang Qiqi snorted, and saw that Mark also had a bag of coffee beans in his hand, "You too, what a coincidence." Next, Wang Qiqi didn't know what to say to him, and the scene was a little cold for a while.
"The boss just went to the warehouse to pick up the goods, or wait, I'll ......" Originally, Mark was like saying goodbye, and found that his friend John looked at him and signaled him to stay, although he didn't know what he was doing, but he still stayed, "You are a newcomer, tell him to give you an internal price." β
Wang Qiqi had already met the boss before, and when she heard Mark's meaning, he seemed to be going to leave first, but she didn't expect him to change his tone and want to stay, she felt so strange, "That's really troublesome for you." β
Shi Man also noticed it on the side, and at this time her attention was on the man who didn't make a sound on the side, the previous Mark was leaving, but if it wasn't for this man, would Mark stay? But I don't know why he wants Mark to stay, whether he knows what Mark thinks or if he has his own ideas.
Since they were going to stay and wait for the boss, everyone sat down, Wang Qiqi beckoned the waiter to serve three cups of coffee, and Mark and they also refilled, "Hello, I'm John, and I'm Mark's friend." The coffee was quickly served, and the man next to Mark introduced.
"Hello, I'm Jessica, Angel's friend." Shi Man introduced himself, hum, it seems that this man really has some ideas, otherwise how could he introduce himself so positively.
"Hello, I'm Ella, a friend of Angel." Zhang Yan introduced herself without much thought.
Shi Man originally thought that his target was on Kiki, but he didn't expect that John's target seemed to be Zhang Yan, although he took care of him very well and didn't snub anyone in particular, but Shi Man just felt that his eyes betrayed his heart.
Zhang Yan was also restless for someone, she really regretted why she followed Shi Man to say hello before, but she regretted in her heart that it was impossible to get up and leave at this time, so she could only answer the question very politely, but fortunately, this man was still quite a gentleman, and probably found that he was a little resistant to him, and his performance was slightly better after that, which made Zhang Yan breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
