The hot pot restaurant Xing Ming is looking for is a time-honored brand, and the most famous is of course shabu mutton, and most diners come for this mutton. The sheep raised naturally on the grassland grow up eating grass on the saline-alkali land, and the smell of such sheep is very small.

Zhao Lele doesn't like to eat mutton very much, but in the case of not knowing Xing Ming's preferences, the popular choice is the best choice.

Xing Ming ordered a lot of dishes, and when Zhao Lele visually measured that the number was a bit large, he stopped him from continuing to order, if it was not enough, he could order more, and it would be too wasteful to order more.

Xing Ming nodded and agreed and ordered another snack, Zhao Lele didn't know how much Xing Ming ate, so he didn't say more.

The steaming hot pot is indeed very atmospheric in winter, and Xing Ming has booked a position in advance, and they can not only see the entire hall when they sit in a remote corner, but also look at the scenery outside through the glass.

Xing Ming is very considerate, he doesn't need Zhao Lele to do it when the hot pot boils, he is responsible for getting everything right, even the seasonings.

Zhao Lele tasted the mutton he didn't like, and felt that the time-honored brand did have a unique secret recipe, which tasted really good, not without fame.

Xing Ming told Zhao Lele the story of eating roasted whole sheep in the wild while eating mutton, and said that the taste was better than shabu mutton, and the fragrance could float a few miles away along the wind.

Zhao Lele felt that the mutton was delicious, and Xing Youde turned the topic to the story of him eating chicken in the wild in the south. They found the villagers to buy local chickens, casually borrowed the villagers' earthen stoves and cauldrons, and when the conditions were not good, they could directly borrow a few stones in the open air to build a temporary stove and cook a pot of food.

Zhao Lele felt that this kind of wild fun was also interesting, Xing Ming saw that she liked to listen to it, and told all the things about catching fish and shrimp in the wild, as if they were going out to work and traveling.

One said, the other listened, and when the two were chatting happily, someone suddenly shouted Xing Ming, breaking the beautiful atmosphere between the two.

"Teacher Xing, is it really you?" It was a young woman who spoke, but the other party was also a group of people who had come to eat, and it seemed that they had just entered the door. After saying this, she asked her companion to find a place first.

"Hello, Editor Ann." Xing Ming greeted politely and politely.

"Teacher Xing, is this your friend?" An Xin finished asking, and looked Zhao Lele up and down with a hidden gaze.

Zhao Lele felt her vague gaze, and when she looked over again, he showed a big smile to her.

An Xin was caught by her and smiled back awkwardly.

Xing Ming didn't notice the interaction between the two, he nodded lightly and admitted that Zhao Lele was his friend, but he was reluctant to continue to introduce her identity.

An Xin didn't get specific information, so she deliberately smiled at Zhao Lele and asked, "This sister, I want to talk to Teacher Xing about something, can I sit down and talk?" ”

Zhao Lele didn't answer, she looked at Xing Ming with a teasing eye and asked him how to solve it.

Xing Ming took off his glasses that were foggy with steam, and said while wiping: "Editor An, let's go to the office to talk about something, I don't want to talk about business now." ”

An Xin didn't have the embarrassment of being rejected, and continued: "Then let's not talk about business, I haven't seen Teacher Xing for a long time, and it's always okay to chat with old friends today." ”

Zhao Lele looked at this editor An and felt that she was really good, and she couldn't say this without changing her face after being rejected.

Xing Ming also had a headache about this editor An's uninvited arrival, and he didn't want to be friends with her, so after putting on his glasses, he directly refused: "I'm sorry, Editor An, I don't think we're too familiar with each other, and I don't want to chat with you now, can you leave first?" ”

"Teacher Xing, if you don't want to chat, I'll leave first and visit you another day." An Xin was rejected again and maintained that dignity. Although she pestered Xing Ming, she was not the kind of person who couldn't understand words.

Xing Ming waited for An Xin to go away before explaining her identity to Zhao Lele, saying that she was just an ordinary editor of the publishing house, but she always wanted to dig him up as an author, so she would be all kinds of flattery and politeness to him.

Zhao Lele looked at Xing Ming with a smile, she didn't believe this, but she didn't ask much. She has nothing to do with Xing Ming, so she doesn't bother to care what An Xin's identity is or what she has in mind.

She didn't want to talk about An Xin, but was very interested in Xing Ming's book, and asked him what kind of books he published.

Xing Ming helped the frame of his glasses, a hint of trium flashed in his eyes, and he began to talk about his books in a low-key manner.

Zhao Lele felt a headache when she heard it, but it didn't prevent her from feeling that Xing Ming was very powerful. She asked curiously: "Where did you get so much time to write books?" Don't have to take classes? ”

Xing Ming teaches at a university, which she only learned recently, but going out into the field is also part of his job, and he even spends most of his 365 days a year running outside.

"The earliest popular science books I wrote were written in my sophomore year, and some of the later academic monographs can be written at any time. Xing Ming's eyes lit up when he talked about his work, and he didn't care if Zhao Lele could understand it, he was completely engaged and talked about boring professional knowledge.

Zhao Lele really can't understand professional knowledge, although Xing Ming has explained in simple terms, but the professionalism is too strong, she can only stare at Xing Ming's face with slightly admiring eyes, as if she can see a flower.

Zhao Lele really felt that Xing Ming had flowers on his face, such a powerful academic bully would become a powerful academic boss sooner or later, she could know one casually, and her heart was beautiful.

Zhao Lele thought that Wang Shuai was a famous writer, and Wang Shuai's friend Xing Tian was also a scholar, and it was said that he was also a young scholar.

She doesn't know who is more powerful, Wang Shuai or Xing Tian, but Wang Shuai has won various domestic literary awards, and his works have been translated into many languages, and Xing Tian also has many papers in hand, and he has single-handedly improved the world university rankings of all his schools.

Wang Huan told her these things from time to time, and she felt that Xing Ming was not bad, and she had the capital to compete with these two people.

Xing Ming was telling the story while paying attention to Zhao Lele's reaction, and seeing that she was a little distracted, he suddenly asked, "Is it that what I told is too boring?" What do you like, tell me about it? I can't keep telling it, I want to know your story. ”

Zhao Lele didn't want to tell the stories that happened to him or the past, but Xing Ming thought that he had finished telling everything he had done since he was a child, and if she didn't tell it at all, then he wouldn't suffer too much.

Although Zhao Lele felt that Xing Ming's logic was wrong, she hadn't finished the meal, and she had to see the timing if she wanted to refuse.

As the saying goes, "eat people with soft mouths, take people with short hands", she also has a selection of Xing Ming to talk about the happy things in the past, as for the unhappy things, of course, you have to forget them all.
