Chapter 10: The crowd has given you one more look
"Where are you going?"
As soon as Kemi's voice fell, Jason asked directly.
It's all instinct.
From Jason's ...... Stomach.
Also from Jason's soul.
Therefore, in the face of such an invitation, Jason will definitely not refuse.
He walked back and threw the pillow quilt in his hand on the couch, and looked down at Kemi.
"I know of a nice 24-hour restaurant."
Kemi, who was being watched by Jason, panicked in his heart, and said almost subconsciously.
Then, she realized that before she could finish speaking, Jason had already strode out.
"Hurry up."
Jason, who walked to the door, looked at Kemi, who didn't follow, and urged.
"Oh, oh, here, here."
Kemi replied stunned.
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the apartment that Kemi came back to his senses.
That's it?
Is that all right?
One meal solved?
Jason is too good to talk to, right?
Or is he just cold-faced and hot-hearted?
Don't...... Does he like me?
Kemi thought as he held his head high and stole a glance at Jason.
Under the street lamp, Jason's tall, strong body almost completely enveloped Kemi, but Kemi did not reject it at all, on the contrary, she had a sense of security in her heart that she had never felt before.
When she was in despair, it was this tall figure who slashed the iron lock and rescued her.
She remembered exactly how the sparks that burst out of the blades and iron locks danced.
She opened her mouth to say something to Jason.
But eventually, she kept her mouth shut.
She discovers that she doesn't know Jason.
Moreover, Jason is not the same as the boys who have been in contact with her before.
Those boys will let her, they will accommodate her, they will please her.
But Jason won't.
Jason faced her with a completely equal attitude.
It's a novelty!
Let her have a strange sense of excitement and ...... Joy!
That's right!
It's mixed with joy!
It was so new to Kemi, and she felt like she had never felt before, and she picked up the pace of progress.
Jason?
He didn't pay any attention to what Kemi was thinking, he was just guessing what kind of supper would be in the restaurant for a while.
After about 500 meters, Kemi stopped.
In front of him was a restaurant with no signage – Jason judged it by its taste.
As for the outside?
The decoration is very low-key, just looking at the gray brick walls and lighting, you will only think that this is a design company.
"Casai restaurant, this is one of the restaurants that I know of that is open 24 hours."
"His house tastes very good."
"What's more, his ice cream is good."
As a regular customer, Kemi introduced.
Ice cream?
Jason nodded his head to remember and was going to eat thirty servings first.
"Come!"
"I'm in for a treat!"
"You're welcome!"
Kemi said, pushing the door in, and Jason followed behind him and walked in, subconsciously looking at the layout of the restaurant.
Unlike the low-key and confusing outside the door, the inside of the restaurant is very normal, that is, the normal restaurant layout, long tables and round stools, except for another high table on the side of the restaurant, there is nothing worth caring about.
On that high platform was a large round table and chairs, apparently intended for a large number of guests traveling in groups.
Jason and Kemi were only two people, so it was natural to choose a corner of the restaurant.
After sitting down, Jason's eyes looked to another corner of the restaurant.
There were also two people sitting there.
Like him and Kemi, a man and a woman.
The man turned his back to them and couldn't see his face clearly, and his voice was on the thick side, while the woman looked very young, a little younger than Kemi, and there was a hint of horror on her face at the moment.
"I shouldn't have run away."
"They're going to kill us!"
"We're done!"
The girl whispered, with a hint of sobbing in her tone.
"Shh
"Don't worry."
"Tyri, I assure you, we're safe—at least safe here."
The man comforted.
Jason didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but had an extraordinary perception that caused him to unconsciously hear the conversation between the two.
"What's wrong?"
"Jason, can you hear their conversation?"
Kemi turned his head to look at the two people who were more than ten meters away from him, and looked at Jason in surprise.
"I can't."
Jason replied, and then looked at the waiter who walked by.
"Good evening, both."
"Don't worry, I promise you both that there won't be any problems there."
It seemed that seeing that Jason and Kemi's attention were looking at the two in the distance, the waiter immediately explained, and then handed Kemi the recipe in his hand.
"It's great to see you again."
"What do you need?"
The waiter asked.
"I'm in for a treat, you come."
Kemi handed the recipe to Jason.
Jason opened the recipe without politeness, and after reading it carefully, he pointed to the wine bar on the last page and said:
"This, this, and this."
"Is that all?"
The waiter quickly recorded the alcoholic beverage that Jason was pointing to.
It's not uncommon for people to order alcoholic beverages directly, but it's not uncommon.
Some people just like to come the other way around, ordering some drinks first, then some snacks and so on.
"Aren't you eating?"
"I'm in for a treat, you're welcome."
Kemi looked at the drink Jason ordered, and it was clear that there was some misunderstanding.
What a gentle person.
Considering that I am a student and my income is not high, I will order these cheap drinks!
When he finishes drinking, he will definitely use the excuse that you invited me just now, and now I invite you, to order again.
Although it is a bit old-fashioned, however, the gentle Jason looks a little handsome.
"Wrote it all down?"
Jason ignored Kemi and looked at the waiter.
"Well, I've written it all down."
"Is there anything else you need?"
The waiter nodded, then asked again.
"Don't order anything just now, and take on the rest."
Jason replied.
"What?"
The waiter was stunned.
"Don't order anything just now, and take on the rest."
"By the way, your ice cream is good, bring me thirty."
Jason repeated, emphasizing.
"Are you sure you don't want to take it all but the one you just had?"
"And ice cream, you want thirty?"
The waiter's voice trembled as he spoke, and his eyes widened with disbelief.
If he hadn't seen Kemi, he would have thought Jason was here to smash the field.
The waiter was incredulous.
Kemi is just as unbelievable.
She looked at Jason as if she was stupid.
She hoped that Jason would turn around and smile at her at this time and say, 'Hey, little fool, lied to you, this is a joke.' ’
Then, she really saw Jason turn his head and bared his teeth at her.
The miserable white teeth, in the light, flickered with a faint cold glow.
It was as if Kemi had seen a great white shark rushing towards her, opening its bloody mouth.
"Hey, say okay, you're in for a treat!"
After Jason finished speaking, he waved his hand at the waiter, signaling to hurry up.
"Come now!"
The waiter turned around and ran towards the back kitchen.
The turnover of the night shift is linked to his bonuses.
Looking at the waiter in the distance, Kemi raised her hand to stop it, but in the end, she still didn't shout.
Treats, she said.
She simply can't turn back now.
Can......
She doesn't have enough money!
Although she didn't know how much it cost to put on the entire menu, she could confirm that the money her father had just given her was not enough for the thirty ice creams.
What to do?
Am I going to be left to brush the dishes?
Is it too late to say regret now?
Kemi looked at Jason, who was sitting calmly, and writhed uneasily.
She really wanted to call her dad now.
However, she was worried that she would disturb her father by doing so.
And in the midst of Kemi's apprehension, the dishes came up one by one.
This 24-hour restaurant is a fusion restaurant.
To put it simply, there are everything from Wellington steak, tomahawk steak, charcoal-grilled pork belly, pan-fried lamb chops, finger lamb, potato stewed brisket, and egg fried rice.
Although it is impossible to have everything.
But it's all about some features.
Moreover, the cooks here are doing quite well.
Especially that tomahawk steak.
When the waiter asked if he had cut it, Jason waved his hand, he ignored the temperature at all, and directly picked up the tomahawk steak, and suddenly, the aroma of beef was fragrant.
Jason restrained himself from opening his mouth and took a bite down.
The juice is overflowing.
The sour beef is becoming more and more tender and delicious, and the lemon salt and herbs are mixed to form a special steak juice that begins to dance on the taste buds as Jason chews.
A hint of acidity, which stimulates the saltiness to some extent.
The shredded mushrooms in the vanilla juice are quite crispy.
Was it blown up in advance?
Jason thought, opening his mouth again and pulling the rest of the beef off the ribs.
Even if it is restrained, a tomahawk steak is a matter of two for Jason.
Wrong!
Yes, three mouthfuls!
Jason tossed the rib into his mouth as well and began to chew.
At the same time, he picked up his knife and fork and began to cut the Wellington steak.
The puff pastry is easily cut, and the aroma of black pepper and beef comes out.
Not an adjective.
It's really 'squirting'!
A residual heat between the puff pastry, with the touch of a knife and fork—
Laugh at!
It squirts out and fills the dining table.
"Did you deliberately fold the puff pastry into a sandwich?"
"Not bad!"
Jason said as he put the beef in his mouth.
Worth remembering, he tasted the mushroom sauce again.
It's still crispy and delicious.
Although it was the second attempt, Jason didn't get bored in the slightest.
The charcoal-grilled pork belly was served with a small stove, and the three-tiered pork belly sizzled on the grate, and Jason picked it up and dipped it in cumin and chili noodles and threw it into his mouth.
The grease flowed out with a bang.
It was the feeling of reuniting old friends after a long absence.
Wonderful!
It brings tears to your eyes.
People can't help but have an extra piece.
The pan-fried lamb chops that followed were different.
It's tender.
The tender one was as if she had seen it for the first time, and she quietly touched the girl's hand.
The olive oil completely locks in the juice in the lamb chops, making it extraordinarily tender, the peppercorns clear the smell of the lamb chops, and the chopped basil leaves are paired with chopped parsley, which makes the lamb chops extra garnished and crispy, just like a girl shyly withdrawing her hand and staring at your eyes, angry, shy, but wanting to speak.
Memorable.
And in front of hand-grasped mutton, potato stewed beef brisket, and egg fried rice, it is the pinnacle of performance.
The soup of the stewed beef brisket with potatoes is poured on the egg fried rice, and a few large pieces of mutton are grabbed and placed on the egg fried rice, without any ceremony, lick your hands, pick up the spoon and pull the rice, and stuff it into your mouth.
At the moment, the mutton is still shy.
Beef is also reserved.
Only the rice is grainy and slightly hard.
But the soup reconciles everything.
When the mutton is mixed with beef and chewed, the shyness and reserve are quickly gone, leaving only the unrestrained and thick meat.
Purr!
Jason held the plate, almost sucking.
Five minutes!
From start to finish, in just five minutes!
A table of dishes was swept away!
Kemi was stunned again.
Not only Kemi, but the men and women at the table in the distance were also attracted to Jason.
The girl, who had always been timid and frightened, looked at Jason in a daze.
And the man was surprised when he saw Jason.
Jason noticed.
He ignored it, though.
He put down his plate and shouted to the waiter who was about to serve him ice cream, "Just now, again." ”
Kemi's whole body trembled.
She had calculated the food just now, and even if it was to wash the dishes, she would have to wash it for two months.
Again, I'm afraid she won't be able to do without this restaurant this year.
Stay here to wash dishes on Chinese New Year's Eve?
She definitely doesn't!
Know that this year is a special Chinese New Year's Eve!
She didn't want to!
Or just slip away?
Kemi thought, and the next moment shook his head.
It's a shame for her to slip away like this.
What's more, even if she wants to slip away, where should she go?
Her dad had told her to wait at Jason's.
The dilemma is to describe Kemi at this time.
After the horror of the previous days, the despair of a few hours ago, she once again realized another important point in the adult world.
In the same way, she also learns how adults can solve problems.
Alas.
Kemi sighed resignedly.
She's ready to scrub the dishes.
Never make random promises in the future!
The girl told herself this in her heart.
At this time, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.
Four men with men's faces with men's faces walked in.
As soon as they entered, their eyes were fixed on a table of men and women in the distance, and the girl immediately turned ashen and trembled.
Four men surrounded them.
"Do you know what the fate of the escape will be?"
One of the four grinned at the girl.
The remaining three people stared at the middle-aged man viciously, threatening each other with their eyes.
Then, seven or eight more people walked in.
The people who came after them, like those who came before them, were vicious people.
Among them, the man in the leather jacket was obviously the leader of the group, and this leader first glanced at the target who was 'controlled', and then he glanced at Jason and Kemi.
When he saw Jason's strong figure, the leader frowned, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
However, when he saw Kemi, this fear disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, hey!"
"I found two pieces, boss's goods!"
"It's so good!"
With a malicious laugh, the leading man took out a dagger and walked towards Jason and Kemi step by step.
His eyes were fixed on Kemi, the dagger in his hand was pointed at the back of Jason's neck, and his mouth was directly threatening:
"Hey, man, if you don't want to get in trouble, don't move."
"Or you ......"
