Chapter 318: Eating
I stopped the car, I wanted to get out of the car first and help Chenxi's mother open the car door, because it looked more gentlemanly, but Chenxi got down faster than me, and dragged her mother down, which embarrassed me.
I was born and raised in this city, and I have passed by the manor outside this restaurant countless times, but I have never come in, so I have not come to this Chinese restaurant to eat, after all, the consumption here is not something that I can afford to wait for the salaried sling. On the other hand, Chenxi's family is estimated to frequented here, and Chenxi is familiar with this place, and she also knows what food her parents like to eat here.
As soon as I entered this Chinese restaurant, I found that it was like a luxury KTV, I didn't know where the counter was, and I didn't know where the room was, but fortunately Chenxi ran in front, otherwise I would be really embarrassed. In front of him is a luxurious high wall, this wall, as if running through the bottom and top of the hotel, splendid, tall and majestic, but not extravagant. Following the morning light around the high wall, it turned out that the counter was behind the high wall, it was really strange that this restaurant actually let customers see a wall as soon as they came in, others didn't know, and thought there was some ulterior secret inside.
As soon as I walked over, two decent waitresses stepped forward in a hurry, although the morning light was in front, but the waitress still asked me: "Sir, may I ask how many, do you have a reservation?" ”
I snorted lightly and said, "Three... Oh no, four, it's booked. As he spoke, he glanced at Chenxi and said to Chenxi: "Chenxi, where are we set?" ”
Chenxi said lively: "On the third floor, D17 is a four-person table by the window. ”
The waitress nodded politely to us, one of them went to check in, and the other led us to the side order.
As soon as I arrived, pictures of the dishes appeared in front of me, and I couldn't speak at this time, thinking that if I ordered something that was not up to the mark, it would make people laugh.
As soon as Chenxi arrived, he didn't look at it, and directly told the waiter a few dishes.
"Chef Zhang's scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
"Master Li's flavored eggplant."
"Four pieces of sauce bones, um... Six pieces, and the man eats one more. ”
"Spicy shrimp!"
Chenxi completely ignored me, and ordered four dishes frantically, but these four dishes are very ordinary, and there is even a home-cooked dish like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so that I can feel at ease, first of all, I don't have to worry about being too embarrassed when ordering from me, and secondly, the price should not be too high.
Chenxi looked at her mother, smiled, and said, "Mom, I ordered all your favorite food for you." ”
Chenxi's mother nodded with satisfaction, and Chenxi then looked at me and said, "Aze, how many are you ordering." ”
I coughed lightly and looked at the dish on the screen above my head, I really didn't know what to order at this time, but I glanced at a red picture, and it was the chef's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which... A tomato scrambled egg costs fifty-eight yuan?
In an instant, I feel that I am not a taste, the most expensive tomato scrambled eggs I have ever seen are nothing more than twenty, or in the tourist area, here is as high as fifty-eight yuan, although the heart is shocked, but the surface is still not shocked, let me order, nothing more than to point to my dead hole, thinking of this, it is better to have a move to change the stars, I said to the morning light: "Uncle likes to eat whatever food, I can do it, there is no taboo." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it not only broke the embarrassment of my order, but also made Chenxi's mother feel that I could consider others, today's young people, thinking about yourself is always greater than thinking about others, Chenxi's mother threw me an appreciative look, and I immediately said again: "Do aunts and uncles like to eat light or spicy?" ”
Chenxi remembers what her mother likes to eat, but when she comes to her father, she still needs to think about it, it seems that she hasn't eaten with this father for a long time, and even longer than the time when Chenxi's mother went to the UK, the relationship between this family of three is really delicate, and I can't help but feel very strange, there is a feeling that I can't say, could it be that Chenxi's parents are divorced, and Chenxi's father has found a small one?
It's impossible to think about it, although I haven't met Chenxi's father, but Chenxi has a very good relationship with her father, often talking on the phone, asking for warmth, and as soon as Chenxi's mother comes back, the family will get together, although nominally to see their daughter's boyfriend, but in fact it is a family dinner.
According to Chenxi's recollections, her father likes to eat big fish and meat, and likes to eat something light, and Chenxi's mother likes to eat the dishes Chenxi ordered, and finally Chenxi ordered a stewed short rib that she likes to eat.
Four people, seven dishes, enough, after ordering, the three of us made an elevator to the third floor, accompanied by waiters all the way, until we were taken to the D17 window position, Fang bowed, and I said: "Thank you." The waiter smiled at me and said, "You're welcome, sir." "Then retreat.
Dawn and Dawn's mother are sitting on the inside of the window, facing each other, while I am sitting outside, next to Dawn, I am now facing an empty stool, I only know that soon, I am about to face a middle-aged and elderly man, Dawn's mother does not put much pressure on me, but Dawn's father, not necessarily. After all, Chenxi brought her boyfriend to meet her parents for the first time, although she was an impostor, but her parents didn't know about it, this time, it must be a good test for me.
The real test is probably on this table, Chenxi's mother didn't ask me anything before, and my hunch now may be to have a showdown with me at this table.
What should I do if I am so nervous?
Although we are in the hall, but because we are in the window position, and there is a curtain next to our seat, this is like a small private room, and most of the people who eat here are better than ordinary people, there is no babbling people, they are all quiet eating, quiet talking.
At this time, the red curtain next to me was opened by the waiter left and right, and a slightly chubby man in a blue shirt appeared in front of us.
This is the father in Chenxi's mouth, the Lao Chen in Chenxi's mother's mouth, and the old Chen in my mouth... Old man.
This old man also has frameless eyes, good facial features, a small belly, and a very wide body, like the image of an ancient official. His hair is black and thick, and he has no top, which is enough to make him a hundred times more energetic, and he looks like he is in his forties, and he does not look old at all.
"Lao Chen" didn't have any, as soon as he saw us, he first looked around, and finally stopped his eyes on me, I hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Hello uncle, please take a seat." ”
The "Lao Chen" was stunned for a moment, then nodded at me and said, "Uh-huh, hello, hello." ”
With just such a sentence, I felt a lot more comfortable, it seemed that the Chenxi family was not in difficulty, and I was instantly relieved a lot.
Chenxi looked at her father with a smile and said, "Dad, you're late." ”
"Lao Chen" hurriedly explained: "Oh, there was a traffic accident on the side of the Yellow River Road, and it was blocked for half an hour. ”
Chenxi's mother glanced at Chenxi's father and said, "Lao Chen, you still drive by yourself, hurry up and hire a driver." ”
I couldn't hear whether it was sarcasm or distress, but I saw "Lao Chen" say: "Those drivers now are very irresponsible, I don't hire them." ”
Chenxi's mother glanced at "Lao Chen" and said, "I think young people are much more stable than you now." ”
Chenxi burst out laughing and said, "You two haven't seen each other for so long, and they quarrel as soon as they meet." ”
"Lao Chen" probably thought about it, and immediately changed the topic, glanced at Chenxi, and then looked at me and said, "Have you ordered the dish?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Eh, order, do you have any special favorite dishes for my uncle, I'll order them again." ”
"Lao Chen" waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, it's almost fine, now pay attention to health, dinner, but don't eat too much." ”
Chenxi's mother looked at "Lao Chen" and said with a smile: "I said Lao Chen, you already know about health, can you still get high blood pressure a few years ago?" ”
When this "Lao Chen" heard this, he immediately became anxious and said: "It is normal for this old man to have high blood pressure, and it has nothing to do with diet. ”
I thought that this meal was tortured by my parents, but I didn't expect it to become a quarrel between an old husband and wife, looking at this, Chenxi's parents should not be divorced, but it may be for some reason, Chenxi's mother went to live in the UK, and after eating a meal, I also understood something, Chenxi's mother used to be a business executive, liked to travel, fell in love with the city of the United Kingdom, retired early, and prepared to move to the UK as a family, but because Chenxi's father is the general manager of an important state-owned enterprise, many things are inconvenient, this is why Chenxi's mother will go first, and then Chenxi will go over, and the family will be reunited after Chenxi's father retires.
I can't help but wonder, is Britain really better than being a family?
I really can't move their world.
During this period, neither Chenxi's father nor my mother asked me about my family conditions and academic qualifications, but asked me if I liked the UK, and I naturally answered that I liked it very much, for fear that the second elder would ask more, so I hurriedly diverted the topic, thinking that if they knew that I couldn't even speak English, wouldn't it make me lose face.
I don't know if Chenxi's parents don't care about me, or they are too relieved of me, or they believe in their daughter, I don't know, but I ate this meal quite comfortably, when I checked out, seven dishes, four cups of juice, and actually charged me 1,200 yuan, but afterwards Chenxi secretly turned me around, I said no, but Chenxi said that one yard is one yard, and let me use this money to invite her to eat hot pot in a few days, I didn't say anything.
Chenxi's mother left in Lao Chen's car, and Chenxi went back with me, I don't know if Chenxi's parents know that Chenxi lives with me, if I know, then I will be wronged, I haven't done anything......
When I got home, it was half past eight in the evening, and I suddenly remembered that in the game, I was still trapped in the secret room with the little fox, and immediately came to the computer, and everything in front of me made me stunned.
