Qipinju is a western restaurant of Brilliant Academy, and the most famous food in it is steak.

Ding Xiu followed Chen Jianing to the door of Qipinju, and before anyone entered, he already smelled an attractive smell of meat.

Ding Xiu's stomach screamed again, Chen Jianing covered her mouth, smiled softly, and then took him to find an empty table and sit down.

As soon as the two of them were seated, the waiter brought the menu. The menu was in duplicate, and after he handed the list to Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing, he politely waited aside.

"Ding Xiu, you look at the menu, you can order whatever you want." Chen Jianing said.

Ding Xiu nodded, picked up the list and looked at it.

"Filet mignon, ribeye steak, sirloin steak, T-bone steak ......"

There are many types of steaks on the list, and the pictures of the styles are very tempting and delicious.

"It's all about the same." Ding Xiu looked at it briefly, raised his head and said.

"It's pretty much the same, but the meat is very different." Chen Jianing said: "Filet mignon is made of beef tenderloin, and it is tender meat; Rib eye steak is made of meat on the ribs, both fat and lean, and the taste of this meat is very fragrant; Sirloin steak is the meat on the outer loin of the cow, with a little fat, and there is a circle of white tendons on the extension of the meat, which is hard and chewy in taste; T-bone steak is the backbone of the cow's back, and the meat on both sides of the T-bone is more on one side and less on the other, the more sirloin is the less, and the filet is the less, and the middle is separated by ribs. ”

"A small piece of beef still has so much knowledge?!" Ding Xiu was a little surprised in his heart.

"Looks like you're a connoisseur." The waiter praised Chen Jianing.

"Jia Ning, what are you eating?" Ding Xiu didn't know how to choose, so he asked Chen Jianing first.

"I want a filet, medium-rare." Chen Jianing said to the waiter.

"Then I want a filet, I know it very well." After Chen Jianing nodded, Ding Xiu also said. He used to eat barbecue in the wild to make his own fire, and he liked to roast the meat to be charred and crispy, listening to Chen Jianing say that it was medium-cooked, he thought that if the meat was roasted a little older, it would be very cooked.

Hearing the three words very cooked, the waiter was slightly stunned, the steak is only one, three, five, seven, and nine medium rare, and nine medium rare is fully cooked.

He guessed that Ding Xiu should have never eaten steak, so he stared at Chen Jia.

"Then I have to be very familiar with it, too." Chen Jianing smiled, winked at the waiter, and quietly made a gesture of seven with his fingers.

"Okay, the two of you know each other very well, I'll go and let the kitchen prepare. Do you need any other snacks, desserts or drinks? "The waiter understood.

"Two grilled wings, one tiramisu, one crème brûlée and one plate of vegetable salad." Chen Jianing helped Ding Xiu order it together, "The drink is lemon grapefruit." ”

"Okay, you two, please wait a minute."

Waiting for the waiter to leave, Chen Jianing chatted with Ding Xiu about some interesting things in the academy.

"You played basketball with Huaiyu yesterday?" Listening to Ding Xiu talk about yesterday's entertainment game, Chen Jianing was very interested. Yesterday she was busy with things in the laboratory, so she didn't have time to go to the courtside to catch a glimpse of Ding Xiu.

"The opponent is very strong, and there is a 'big monster' more than two meters tall."

"You lost in the end?" Chen Jianing asked.

"Narrowly win by one point." Ding Xiu smiled, "Huaiyu scored more than forty points in the whole game, and I replaced an injured classmate in the middle of the game, and only scored two points in the end. ”

"You haven't played basketball before, have you?" Chen Jianing thought for a while and asked again.

"Nope." Ding Xiu nodded.

"It's great to score points, not to mention that you're competing against some great opponents." Chen Jianing didn't know how brilliant Ding Xiu's performance was yesterday, she heard that she only scored two points, thinking that Ding Xiu's heart might be a little lost, so she comforted him.

"I'll get more points on the court in the future." Inspired by the girl, Ding Xiu was full of confidence in this kind of competitive sports activity.

It didn't take long for the steak ordered by the two to be cooked, and the waiter brought the steak to the table, and when the lid was lifted, the aroma was filled in an instant.

The oil on the steak seems to be still "sizzling", and the black pepper sauce poured on top is also very rich in color, and with the tangy aroma, you can't help but make your appetite move.

"Snacks and desserts will be coming soon, please wait."

"Thank you!" Chen Jianing nodded at him.

"It looks delicious, but the aroma alone is better than the meat I used to grill." Ding Xiu said as he looked at the tableware.

"Without chopsticks, can you eat with this?" He asked.

"Yes, there are no chopsticks in Western food." Chen Jianing smiled, she picked up the knife and fork that was divided into left and right, and motioned to Ding Xiu: "Take the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand." ”

Ding Xiu learned from her, but he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Chen Jianing cut the steak from the left side, cut off a piece, and eat this piece immediately, which is her habit.

Some people prefer to cut from left to right, and after cutting, put down the knife with their right hand, and then change the fork in their left hand to their right hand, and eat with their right hand.

Filet mignon is a beef tenderloin, after grilling, the meat is smooth and mellow, Ding Xiu just cut a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, he feels that his mouth is full of tenderness and wonderful.

"It tastes so good." Ding Xiu was full of praise for eating, and there was a lot of brown sauce on his lips.

"If you like to eat, we can come back more often in the future." Chen Jianing saw that he was eating happily, and he was also very happy.

The waiter also brought snacks, desserts and drinks, "The things ordered by the two of you have been served, please use them slowly." ”

"That's a lot." Ding Xiu said.

"Well, I think you might not have enough to eat. This roast wing is also for you, and I'll have some vegetable salad later. Chen Jianing pushed the plate of honey roasted wings in front of Ding Xiu, and picked up the paper towel on the table to help him wipe his mouth.

……

"Who's that kid? I actually sat down with Chen Jianing to eat! ”

"I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen him."

There were other students around who knew Chen Jianing, and they saw that the girl was dining with Ding Xiu, and the relationship between the two was still very close, and they couldn't help but be both curious and jealous.

"Brother Jun, aren't you known as the 'Bai Xiaosheng' of the academy, go and inquire and see which powerful young master it is."

"Give me some time." The male student known as Brother Jun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, nodded and said, "The man who can enter Chen Jianing's eyes is definitely not simple. ”

……

Ding Xiu noticed that there were people around him looking at him and Chen Jianing, and he put down the knife and fork in his hand and glanced over there.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jianing asked.

"Somebody was peeking at us over there." Ding Xiu lowered his voice and said.

Chen Jianing followed the direction indicated by Ding Xiu's eyes, and saw those students through the corner of his eye.

"It's okay, they're not bad guys, they're just a little bit of gossip." Chen Jianing smiled and didn't take it to heart. As someone who has been on the podium of the junior category of the Grells "Goldfinger" Invention Contest since she was 10 years old, she has become accustomed to being the center of attention.

After eating steak and snacks, the two rested for a while, and waited for most of the juice to be in their stomachs, and then got up to leave the restaurant.

Chen Jianing went to the front desk to swipe her student card to pay, and Ding Xiu took a step slower.

"Let me treat you once." He said.

"Okay, next time." Chen Jianing smiled and pointed in a direction outside Qipinju: "Let's go to the lake for a walk, and I'll take you to another place later." ”

"Where?" Ding Xiu was a little curious.

"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Jianing deliberately sold a pass.

When the two came to the lake, they saw that the weeping willows on the lakeside were shady, the lake was blue like a mirror, and the environment was very pleasant.

When Ding Xiu was in school, he passed by this artificial lake, but he was sitting in the car at that time, and he didn't have time to watch it closely.

It was only when he got close that he had a glimpse of the whole lake.

"It's called Mirror Lake." Chen Jianing introduced to him: "Do you see the island in the middle of the lake? ”

Ding Xiu stood beside the weeping willows, looked towards the center of the lake, and nodded.

"It's called Hidden Dragon Island, which means that the college is the land of the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger, and this name inspires students to work hard."

"Good name." Whether it is the name of the lake or the name of the island, Ding Xiu can hear the meaning of it, and he also knows the good intentions of the people who founded this academy in the first place.

There are many students reading books or chatting quietly by the lake. When Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing passed by, they both lowered their voices so as not to disturb others.

"I used to think that the whole world was a desert, and our small military camp was the center of the world." Ding Xiu walked slowly, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, "I never thought that the world would be so much like at the beginning. ”

"I used to have only the City of Splendour, until that time I sneaked out and met you......" The girl said this, and her face suddenly turned slightly red, and she almost showed her heart.

She lowered her head, trying to hide the panic in her heart, but unconsciously raised her eyes and quietly looked at Ding Xiu.

Seeing Ding Xiu's face as usual, Chen Jianing breathed a sigh of relief and relieved.

She knew how difficult it was for Ding Xiu to escape death after the camp was destroyed, and she was also moved that he traveled thousands of miles to find herself in Brilliant City.

The heart was already there for Ding Xiu, but now was not the time to speak.

Chen Jianing hopes that Ding Xiu can have a great future, and entering the Brilliant Academy is just a new starting point in his life.

Brilliant Academy is not against falling in love with each other, but the smart girl has already thought of Cai Ji's concerns at the beginning, so she wants to help Ding Xiu and help him grow up as soon as possible, so that he will one day be worthy of herself in front of the worldly eyes of others.

Ding Xiu didn't know what the girl was planning to do, but he cherished his opportunity to enroll in school this time.

The Brilliant Academy provided him with an excellent window to open his eyes to the world, and Ding Xiu had already stood in front of this window, and had seen many scenery that he had never seen before.
