Out of Beijing West Railway Station, we took a taxi and went straight to our accommodation. At this time, it was already time for dinner, and the restaurants of all sizes were crowded, so it was not lively.

It's been a long time since we've had a decent meal, and now that we've returned to the capital, we can't help but feel hungry when we think of all kinds of delicious food. At the suggestion of the black cow, we decided to rub the Donglai Shun copper pot shabu first before going home.

Donglaishun is just across the street from the community where I live, I am quite familiar with the boss here, after entering the store, I greeted the boss with each other, he arranged a secluded private room for us, sent a few side dishes, found a waiter to greet us, and then exchanged a few words with me, and went to the hall to be busy.

The black cow ordered more than 20 plates of fat beef and more than 30 plates of lamb in one go, plus some meatballs and hairy tripe, which stunned the waiter and repeatedly confirmed the number of orders with us.

Hei Niu waved his hand and shouted: "It is clearly written in black and white, are you illiterate, or are you afraid that we will not give money if we eat?" ”

The waitress was a young girl in her twenties, with a round face and an introverted face, and probably, since she had been working in this restaurant, she had never seen four people eating fifty plates of meat, and at this time, she stood by a little at a loss.

"It's not that people are illiterate, and it's not that they're afraid of us eating overlord meals, but they've never seen such a frantic guest!" Anyway, I asked the waiter to follow the number written on the menu.

The large copper pot was served, the charcoal in it was burning, and the clear soup in the pot exuded a tempting aroma, which aroused my appetite, and at this time, I deeply felt that fifty plates of meat ordered by the black cow were not much at all. The black cow swallowed his saliva, stared at the clear soup in the copper pot, and complained that the fire was burning too slowly.

In the past few days when Gu Yixin has been in a coma, he has not eaten anything serious, but now when he sees the beef and mutton on the table, he can't help but have a great appetite, and he is interested in popularizing the knowledge of copper pot mutton for us foodies.

"You know what? Shabu mutton was first invented by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, who inadvertently sang about this delicacy when he was marching and fighting, so this simple method of eating mutton was implemented in the army, and it was later inherited. In the 18th century, the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong held several large-scale "Qiansu banquets", including copper pot shabu-shabu. "Hundred Words of the Old Capital" also has such a record: mutton hot pot is the most common delicacy in the cold of the year, and it must be eaten in the mutton restaurant. This way of eating is the result of the research and evolution of the nomadic heritage of the north, and it has become a special flavor. ”

"Hey, whatever it came from! My stomach is already drumming! As soon as the soup is boiled, let's hurry up and eat! The black cow couldn't wait to pick up a large chopsticks of mutton, put it in the steaming soup pot, and waited for a while before the clear soup was completely boiling.

We are like hungry wolves sweeping food, have sandwiched the meat slices to the soup pot shabu, only half a minute, the meat turns white, out of the soup pot, put in the sesame sauce bowl to dip, the fragrance of mahjong and the taste of meat instantly overflow. Stuff a full of chopsticks meat into your mouth, the meat is soft and tender, and your lips and teeth are fragrant!

Perhaps, only those who have experienced life and death and hunger can appreciate the true taste of food.

Gao Mo was unhurried to eat, and it seemed incompatible with our gobbling up.

As soon as the ventilation rolled up the clouds, and the incense burned, we killed fifty plates of beef and mutton without leaving a piece of armor!

The black bull burped, sat on his back in a chair, patted his bulging belly, and sighed: "The feeling of being full of food and drink is so fucking comfortable!" ”

Gu Yixin wiped his mouth elegantly, took a sip of warm boiled water, and asked, "Okay now, it's time for you to tell me about what happened later, I'm curious, how did you escape!" ”

I was afraid that Gu Yixin would ask about what happened later, I don't know what kind of reaction she would have after listening to it, and whether she would accept it. However, she couldn't hide from what she should have come, and after she was full of wine and food, she still asked this question that had been held all the way.

"Of course, there is the help of the gods!" Without waiting for me to answer, the black bull said excitedly: "You don't know, the little brother raised a white bear, and the white bear is simply a divine thing!" It was it that went down to the 100-meter-deep cave and took us off one by one. Also, you may not expect that the driver of the van who prepared the equipment for us actually committed suicide by falling off a cliff in his car......"

Like a storyteller, the black bull told me how I opened the bronze gate of the tomb of the Dian king, how I encountered the vengeful water lion ghost, and how I escaped from the tomb full of red flame molten slurry. It's just that he didn't mention that I look the same as the King of Dian and the prophecy of the fifth reincarnation on the white jade sarcophagus.

Gao Moli and I sat quietly and listened, feeling that everything was like yesterday.

Gu Yixin listened attentively, the corners of his eyebrows rose, looked at me and said, "It seems that I missed a lot of wonderful stories, so what about later?" How did you get out of the mountains? ”

I was stunned for a moment by her question, and said, "Huh? Oh, it didn't come out, it floated out on a raft. Hey, my mind won't turn as soon as I'm full, and I'll tell you about the rest of it another day. ”

"No, I'm listening to it, Black Bull, why don't you tell me about it......"

As soon as Gu Yixin's words fell, there was a knock on the door of the box, and the sound was extremely loud.

We were stunned for a moment, the waiter generally does not knock when entering the box, and this knock is firm and powerful, it should be made by a man.

Could someone have gone wrong?

I looked at the black bull and shouted at the door, "Come in." ”

The two tomb doors of the box were pushed open at once, and four flat-headed men with straight figures, black suits, and headphones in one ear walked in.

Hei Niu picked his teeth and said, "Huh, which big man's bodyguard is this?" Wrong, right? Our brothers have just eaten a full meal, so be careful of being scared out of indigestion! ”

Those people didn't answer the words of the black bull, and they didn't mean to leave, but stood behind me in a line. I'm a little confused, what are these people doing? It doesn't look like you're going to the wrong door. was about to stand up and ask, but suddenly found that Gu Yixin's expression was a little weird, his brows frowned slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or helpless.

The tall man at the head said slowly, "Miss Gu, Mr. Gu asked you to go back." ”

I was shocked, these four people were sent by Gu Yixin's father? We just returned to Beijing, and we haven't even entered the house yet, how did he know Gu Yixin's whereabouts?

Obviously, Gu Yixin also had this question and asked, "Father...... Does he know I'm back? ”

The tall man replied, "As soon as you get on the train, Mr. Gu will know." Mr. Gu also asked me to bring a message to Mr. Su, saying that you should do it yourself! ”
