Chapter 57: Dinner
Chen Xi came home, took a shower and fell asleep, last night was the first time in his life that he fought with someone, or dozens of them at a time, and it was the first time in his life that he was alone with a girl as if he was dating.
Lying on the bed, he thought about Xiao Yu's charming smile, and felt sweet in his heart, and fell asleep after a while. I slept until noon the next day, until I was woken up by the non-stop ringing of my mobile phone.
"Hey......" Chen Xi answered the phone sleepily.
Fat Kun's impatient voice came from the microphone: "Why did you kid take so long to answer, pick up...... Ahh ”
This sneeze was so loud that Chen Xi hurriedly moved his ears away from the microphone, and said unhappily: "Fatty, do you know that disturbing people's dreams is to lose your life, what is the matter with hurry up." ”
"I'll go, boss, when is this time when do you still have the heart to sleep! I ask you, what happened last night? Why was I knocked unconscious in the hallway, only to wake up and collapse on the roof of a nearby building? I was soaked in the rain, which froze me for most of the night...... Ah, aa! ”
Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, didn't Xiao Yu say that he could go home when he put the fat man in a safe place and wake up? How did you put it on the roof of the building and let it rain for half a night? But he immediately understood that it must have been the fat man's obscenity that night that made Xiao Yu unhappy, so he deliberately put him upstairs to freeze and punish him with a big warning.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi casually made up a reason: "I was also knocked unconscious last night, and when I woke up, I was in a twenty-four-hour fast food restaurant, and then I went home." ”
Immediately, Fei Kun's sharp duck voice came from the microphone: "What? It's unreasonable! It's not the same life! Why are you sleeping in a warm fast food restaurant when I am being photographed indiscriminately by the cold rain! ”
Chen Xi had to keep his ears away from the earpiece again, and said weakly: "Who knows, I guess we were attacked by the people of the Blood Demon Gang in the corridor, and after they knocked the two of us unconscious, they divided into two groups of people, the group with you put you on the roof, and the people with me stuffed me into the fast food restaurant, so in order to give us a warning, do you think it will be like this?" ”
"Ah......h What is this called a warning, the people of the Blood Demon Gang warn others that the lightest thing is to break the bone...... Yes! That's right, get down to business, get down to business. Brother, something big happened last night, you know? ”
"What's the big deal? I went home and fell asleep, and I've been asleep until now. Chen Xi said this, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that it was time to talk about the demon less.
Sure enough, Fei Kun's voice on the phone suddenly became excited: "Hehe, it's not just a big event, it's also a big happy event!" The demon boy is dead, dead! ”
"What? How did he die? Chen Xi could only continue to pretend.
"Haha, just last night, on the highway about three streets away from the Pearl of the Night Sea, Mo Shao's sports car collided with an SUV, and none of the people in the two cars and trains ran out. This is one less scourge, and we don't have to worry about the Blood Demon Gang's revenge anymore! ”
"Fatty, why are you so well-informed?" Chen Xi was more interested in this issue.
"Oh, haven't I always been very well-known! Well, that's good news, no, let's both celebrate. I'm in for a treat tonight, okay, and celebrate. Our brother is a catastrophe that will not die, and there will be blessings in the future! ”
"Not tonight, I have an appointment tonight!" Chen Xi immediately refused.
The fat man's suspicious voice immediately came from the microphone: "You? Got an appointment? How can it be? You don't have any relatives or friends! Don't...... You kid honestly confess, is it the girl on the phone? It's okay, as soon as your kid comes back, you'll make an appointment with your sister, and your brother won't want it......"
Chen Xi frowned when he heard this, and said decisively: "Fatty, I still have something to do, hang up!" ”
"Wait, don't ......"
Chen Xi decisively hung up, and then let Fei Kun nag, this guy can talk for an hour. This phone call made Chen Xi sleepy, he immediately got up to wash, cleaned up, and was wondering if to go out to eat something, when the phone rang again.
Chen Xi picked up his mobile phone, thinking that it was a fat man calling to harass him, but when he looked at the screen, it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, could it be...... Xiao Yu? Chen Xi immediately pressed the connect button, and a voice like heaven immediately came from the microphone:
"Big lazy worm, didn't you get up, guess who I am?"
"Xiao Yu? How do you know my phone number? Chen Xi asked in surprise.
"Fool, I won't ask the white ape!" Xiao Yujiao said angrily.
Chen Xi patted his head, he was really stupid, and then he heard Xiao Yu's voice in the microphone: "Where are we going to eat tonight?" ”
"That...... Do you have any good advice that you don't have? Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little weak, to be honest, he had hardly been to a high-end restaurant due to the perennial economic embarrassment, and he couldn't be sloppy to have dinner with the goddess at this time, so it was best to explore Xiao Yu first.
"Hehe, I don't have any suggestions, just listen to your arrangement, in short, as long as the four words are delicious and not expensive." Xiao Yu said casually.
At this time, Chen Xi scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Then you have to tell me what you usually like to eat." ”
"Hmm...... I don't care, I still have something to do, the time is set at six o'clock in the evening, you have set the location to send me a text message, bye-bye......"
"Hey, wait ......," before Chen Xi could finish speaking, there was a busy beep in the microphone, "Bye." Chen Xi said to the phone that was already busy, and his heart was steady. Because he had already figured out which restaurant to go to at night. Not only does that house taste good, but the environment is also clean and elegant, I think Xiao Yu shouldn't be disgusted.
Thinking about this, he sent a text message to Xiao Yu's phone number: "Jiangbin Restaurant, No. XX, Jiangbin Avenue, see you or leave!" ”
At five o'clock in the evening, Chen Xi went to the Jiangbin restaurant first, booked the best location with Brother Jiang, and then waited at the door of the store. He came out this time and changed into his best outfit, holding a bouquet of white lilies and pink roses in his hand. This is also the first time in his life that he buys flowers for girls, not to mention his neat clothes, his already handsome face, plus the beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hand, it has attracted the attention of many women on the road, which makes Chen Xi a little nervous.
Fortunately, after waiting for about 30 minutes, at about 5:50, a fiery red Porsche sports car slowly drove in the distance, stopping next to Chen Xi, and the window fell to reveal Xiao Yu's peerless face.
"You came so early, why didn't you stand at the door and wait?"
Chen Xi smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, I also just arrived, and I just stood at the door for a while, and you arrived." ”l
"Cut, talk nonsense with your eyes open." Xiao Yu gave him a blank look, and then parked the sports car on one of the few parking spaces in the small restaurant. Then he opened the door and walked down.
Today's Xiao Yu changed into a pale pink short cashmere coat, a goose-yellow knee-length skirt, a pair of moon-white boots on her feet, a thin powder on her face, and her long black hair, which was originally a shawl, turned into a ponytail playfully today, hanging down the back of her head. She is dressed like this, which is less glamorous and enchanting than last night, but more pure and delicate.
Chen Xi was stunned for a while, and it was only when Xiao Yu walked in front of him and shook his hand in front of him that he reacted, and he couldn't help but blush.
"What do you think about wandering every day? Ah, what a beautiful flower," Xiao Yu took the bouquet from Chen Xi's hand and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant, let's go, I'm hungry." The two walked into the riverside restaurant together.
At this time, the small restaurant was already half full, and the voices of people were noisy, as soon as the two of them entered the room, they immediately felt that the sound in the restaurant quickly calmed down, and the eyes of the diners, men, women and children at the table were attracted by Xiao Yu.
"What a beautiful beauty!"
"It can't be a star."
"It's just the boy next to me."
Chen Xi suddenly felt uncomfortable, his whole body stiffened, but he was pitiful when he stood at the door of the small restaurant and waited for Xiao Yu, he could also attract the attention of some girls, and now he walked with Xiao Yu and immediately fell into the feeling of a crow next to the phoenix.
Fortunately, Boss Jiang greeted him and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen is here, it's been so many years, it's the first time to bring a girl to my small restaurant, hehe, I didn't expect to bring such a big beauty for the first time, I haven't come in such a beautiful girl in this small shop for more than ten years, it's really splendid!" Xiao Chen, why don't you hurry up and introduce me to my brother. ”
Chen Xi's face was flushed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Jiang, this is my friend...... Teammate, Xiao Yu. He originally wanted to say friends, but suddenly remembered that this word was easy to cause ambiguity, so he quickly changed his words to teammates, but he didn't expect it to be even more nondescript.
"Teammates? What team? "Brother Jiang is really blind.
Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Xi fiercely, and chuckled: "Hello Brother Jiang, my name is Xiao Yu, and Chen Xi is a colleague and a team in the company, so sometimes we joke with each other and call them teammates." ”
"Oh, I said, hehe, at first glance, I thought Xiao Chen had joined the sports team." Brother Jiang smiled, and then led the two to the reserved seats.
The seats are comfortable sofa booths, the large dining table is draped in coupling-colored tablecloths, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows next to the seats have just the right time to overlook the surging river. Xiao Yu sat down comfortably and praised Brother Jiang: "Boss, the environment of your restaurant is really good. I didn't know there was such a good store before, and I will have to come back more often in the future. ”
"If the environment is good, it must taste good, hehe, Miss Xiao will try the craftsmanship of the shop, and I promise that you will not be disappointed." Today's dish was specially ordered by Xiao Chen. After saying that, he smiled and went to the back kitchen to serve the food.
"Strange, do you know the owner of this restaurant very well?" Seeing that Brother Jiang was gone, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Yes, I was brought over by the fat man when I was a freshman, and it has been five or six years, basically we have come here to eat in the restaurant, and the boss is very good, and he often gives us discounts."
"So...... The boss said that it was true that you brought a girl to dinner for the first time. Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xi playfully, with a light smile on the corner of her magnificent lips.
Chen Xi involuntarily showed his signature action of scratching his hair, and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, Brother Jiang is really, he can say anything......"
After a while, the waiter had already put the dishes on the table, and the first dish was a casserole, and the steaming pot of lamb chops in it was called Jiang's secret lamb chops. When I opened the lid, I saw a small pot of milky white soup overflowing with fragrant aroma, and there were lamb chops, yams, wolfberries, carrots, and a few coriander sprinkled on the soup noodles, with bright white, bright red and emerald green colors. It's an appetizing sight.
Xiao Yu used chopsticks to hold a small piece of lamb chops in his mouth, but he felt that the mutton had been stewed slightly, and when he took a bite, he only felt smooth but not greasy, and the meat was extremely delicious, with almost no mutton smell.
Immediately praised: "Well, delicious!" ”
Before she could finish eating, the second dish was brought again, but this dish was a steamed osmanthus fish. Although this dish is also a popular dish, it is not easy to make it brilliant. Judging from the appearance alone, a fatty osmanthus fish is placed on the plate, lifelike, the soup is almost golden brown, and colorful red peppers, green onions, and coriander are dotted on the fish body, which is like a work of art.
Xiao Yu carefully put a chopstick fish meat into his mouth, only to feel that the fish melted in his mouth, and the deliciousness of the osmanthus fish was mixed with the strong aroma of the soup, which was simply a pleasure. What's even more rare is that there is no fishy smell.
Xiao Yu praised: "It's so delicious, I said why have you and the fat man been patronizing this small restaurant for so many years, it's really a master among the people!" These two dishes are much better than those made by famous chefs in big hotels. ”
As he was talking, Boss Jiang and another waiter personally brought a large steamer up. The bright silver steamer is opened, the lower layer is water, and the upper steaming drawer is densely packed with eight seafood, a pair of prawns, a pair of fat crabs, a pair of palm-sized scallops and a pair of oysters.
Boss Jiang said with a smile: "This dish is a new dish that our restaurant is preparing to launch, even if I trouble you to try it today, the name of the dish is called Eight Fresh Steamed Sea, please taste it and give more valuable advice." With that, he turned on the power of the steamer.
The two of them waited while eating, and after a short time, the seafood was steamed, and the waiter brought a special sauce, and the steamed seafood was dipped in the sauce, which was really fresh to the extreme, and this dish was immediately praised by the two.
Finally, a stir-fried seasonal vegetable is served to relieve the oiliness of the first three meat dishes. This vegetarian dish is also very exquisitely fried, this delicious meal was eaten by the two of them, Xiao Yu ate and ate, and suddenly asked: "These dishes are my favorite dishes, did you order them?" ”
Chen Xi scratched his head and replied, "I don't know how to order food, so I told Brother Jiang about the taste preferences you told me on the phone, and he arranged all four dishes." ”
"Ahh You idiot, how can others say it, it seems that people are like a foodie, and they will kill you......" Xiao Yu pretended to be angry, and while sneering, he used his hand to pinch the flesh on the back of Chen Xi's hand.
Chen Xi hurriedly apologized and honestly stretched out his hand for her to pinch. Seeing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "You are such a fool, why don't you hide." ”
"Hehe, it's really mine, you're right."
The two laughed for a while, and the dinner was almost over, Chen Xi called the waiter to settle the bill, but the waiter came over and said that the boss explained that the table was free.
Where is Chen Xi willing to work, Xiao Yu also felt embarrassed, and the two found Brother Jiang, who was busy at the cash register, and insisted on paying. At this time, Brother Jiang was angry, glared and said, "What? Xiao Chen, do you look down on your brother, you have come to my small restaurant for so many years, and it is the first time you have brought a girl over, brother, I have to do my best. If you have to give money, our friendship will not be able to deal with it in the future? ”
Chen Xi had no choice but to accept Brother Jiang's kindness, and after thanking Brother Jiang, Chen Xi and Xiao Yu walked out of the small restaurant side by side. From the bottom of his heart, Chen Xi really wanted to get along with Xiao Yu for a while, wanted to have a coffee or watch a movie or something, but he was embarrassed to say it, and he was entangled, but he saw that Xiao Yu had walked to the side of the car and opened the door, looked back and smiled: "Why are you still stunned, get in the car quickly." ”
