No one in the world can always be with another person. No matter how long people get together, the final outcome is separation. It's either death or life.

......

There is a tavern where the wine is indeed good.

Now the business in that hot pot restaurant is very hot, and people know how to enjoy this kind of weather.

Zhang Ze was already sitting by the window with someone, and the scenery of the town was unobstructed.

Someone put two bottles of wine brought from a tavern on the table, and handed one bottle to Zhang Zeji. Zhang Ze had already taken it, untied the lid, and overflowed with a mellow fragrance.

"Somebody brought wine from a tavern to the hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot? ”

Someone turned to Xiao Er and instructed: "I want a big pot bottom, it must be spicy enough, three plates of mutton rolls, ham, fish balls and meatballs, duck intestines, and vermicelli." When he had finished ordering this, he turned around and said, "Oh, do you want anything more?"

Zhang Ze has smiled and said, "Give me an orange." ”

Xiao Er smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, there are no oranges in the store." ”

Someone looked at him strangely and said, "Why did you come to the hot pot restaurant to eat oranges?" and then waved his hand to Xiao Er and said, "You go and get busy." ”

Zhang Ze had already taken a sip of wine, his whole body began to slowly warm up, and said: "This Linji Town is also a strange place, and you are also a strange person. ”

Someone looked at him and said, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Ze has already said: "Why do you call someone someone if you don't have another name? Liu, Zhang, or Zhao? This hot pot restaurant is also inexplicable, and the name is "that hot pot restaurant", just like the "Youjia Tavern" in the west, so I can't figure out which one is which one now. ”

Someone smiled and said, "Why bother with this." I heard that your son-in-law went to the Ice and Snow Wilderness?"

Zhang Ze has said: "The news is very well-informed. ”

Someone said, "It's strange not to know." When he goes to the Great Wilderness, you are getting more and more idle. ”

Zhang Ze pursed his lips and said: "This is troublesome, those guys always use "lonely mountains don't raise idlers" to annoy me, maybe one day I will be driven down by them." ”

Someone said: "Even if it doesn't go well, just go, you and I drink and have fun here every day, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Ze looked at the wine in the bottle and said, "Because I want to stay." ”

Someone looked at him and said, "Remember what I said in a tavern that day?"

"Which word?"

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink. ”

Zhang Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not drunk, and I'm still young." ”

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the bottom of the pot and even the ingredients.

Someone put a piece of meat roll in the pot and soaked it, and it was quickly cooked, and then he couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, and he kept fanning his mouth with his hand.

Zhang Ze already looked at him, like a child, for fear that someone else would snatch all these ingredients.

Someone simply put a plate of meat rolls into the pot, and when he saw that Zhang Ze was no longer eating, he asked, "Afraid of spicy?"

Zhang Ze said with a wry smile: "How can I live up to the food in front of me, but I suffered some cold that day, and some colds, and the air on the mountain was dry and on fire." ”

Someone regretted: "That's really a pity." ”

The pedestrians in the town are still coming in twos and threes, but the customers in the shop are coming more and more.

Although it was cold, someone had already eaten a sweat.

Zhang Ze glared at him and said, "I know that hot pot is beautiful on this kind of day, but you don't have to eat such a loud sound, right?"

Someone puts a piece of ham in their mouth and eats it very tastefully.

"It was supposed to be my ...... Please, it seems...... It's so hot, it looks like you're not blessed. ”

Zhang Ze has already said: "If I don't eat it, it's naturally yours, what's the hurry? Be careful to give you a hot mouth bag, maybe tomorrow it will be on fire." ”

Someone said: "Obviously, you proposed to come here to eat hot pot, but you came and didn't eat it, it's really weird." Okay, well, I won't say more, let you get away with it. ”

Zhang Ze smiled helplessly: "I just remembered that I was on fire, the bottle of spicy wine just now was really strong, and now I feel that my throat and mouth are hot." ”

Someone said: "I was going to leave you a few duck intestines and ham, but now it seems that I can't hurt you." ”

The frost on the window has not disappeared, but you can still see the scene outside the window.

There were two people standing under the street lamps on the side of the street, one old and one young, the old one was about seventy or eighty years old, with a hunched back like a bow, and the younger one was less than six or seven years old, and his body was a little thin.

At their feet was a bamboo basket with oranges.

But in such weather, few people come to buy oranges.

The child's hands were a little red from the cold, so he hid them in his arms to keep warm, and from time to time he took them out again.

Someone stopped his chopsticks and looked at him, curious, "Why are you so serious?"

Zhang Ze has already said: "I want to eat an orange." So he shouted through the window, "How do you sell those oranges?"

The child laughed and said, "Sir, do you want to eat oranges?"

Zhang Ze has already said: "Well, I want to buy one." ”

The boy carefully picked a fresh one from the basket, ran to him, and handed it to him, saying, "Very sweet, sir." ”

Zhang Ze had already paid, looked at the child's face, and said, "Do you still come to do business when it's so cold?"

The child smiled, turned and ran back to the orange on the side of the street.

The old man touched his head.

Someone laughed and said, "It's okay to eat oranges, so that you don't have to be jealous of me." ”

It's just that few people come to the hot pot restaurant to eat oranges.

The orange is very fresh, but I don't know how it didn't freeze on such a cold day.

Zhang had slowly peeled off the orange peel.

Someone suddenly looked up and asked, "What about the old man and the child who sell oranges?"

Zhang Ze had already looked out the window, and the old man and child had long disappeared on the side of the street, leaving only a pile of bright oranges.

Zhang Ze had already looked at the yellow orange in his hand.

Somewhat cute.
