Chapter 29: Fireworks
Liu Ruxi picked up the glass and took a sip of brown tea, he raised his eyes to look at Ah Jun: "You are all Lin Xue's new friends, I helped you last night, but it was just a gesture, why bother?" You can call me whatever you want, as long as you don't scold me. ”
Ah Jun filled his glass with tea: "Brother Liu, we invited you here today just to let you and Lin Xue have fun, I don't know how old Brother Liu is this year?"
Liu Ruxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "25 years old."
Jun: "Oh, then, what are you doing now?"
Liu Ruxi: "Speculating in stocks at home, the money you earn is just enough to support yourself."
Ah Jun gave a thumbs up and praised: "I can't see it!" Brother Liu, it turns out that you are a master of stock trading! Terrible! ”
The fat man heard this and said to Liu Ruxi: "Brother Liu, you are really good!" You can make money sitting in front of the computer at home, you teach me, and I want to be like you in the future! ”
Liu Ruxi blinked: "Playing stocks requires a certain amount of risk, and you may face bankruptcy, if you are really interested in this aspect, I suggest you learn about this knowledge on the Internet and in books, and then consider whether you want to play stocks."
The fat man scratched his head and said, "Hmm! Good! Brother Liu, I listen to you! ”
Xiao K smiled and asked with a sly face: "Brother Liu, your conditions are so good, have you had a girlfriend?" Will you bring it to you in the future? ”
Liu Ruxi smiled and shook his head: "Not yet."
Little K nodded.
Liang Fan on the side called the waiter, he took the menu in the waiter's hand, he flipped a few pages and said: "Your barbecue here, regardless of meat and vegetarian, each sample has 20 skewers, do you have any signature dishes here?"
The waiter is a middle-aged woman who is a little blessed: "I recommend you to order a red ling beef, as well as a red ling roasted tofu, and then a superb red ling soup, red ling is a summer food that clears heat and detoxifies, red ling can strengthen the spleen and appetize, but also prevent cancer, the nutritional value is very high, women often eat red ling can also achieve the effect of slimming."
Liang Fan nodded: "Then I want to dish Hongling beef, add dish Ling's roasted tofu, and then have a superb Hongling soup."
The waiter nodded, wrote down the name of the dish on the paper, turned around and walked into the restaurant, and after a while she used a rectangular tray to serve eight small plates of raw red ling, red water was cut into a small hole, its skin and dragon fruit skin are the same color, is plum red, some like chestnuts, and some like a miniature version of dragon fruit, the small dish is equipped with two boxes of seasoning, one is white sugar powder, one is soy sauce.
Lin Xue took a red ling, peeled off the outer layer of the red ling, revealing the white meat inside, the red silk that was peeled off the skin was a bit like a white cashew nut, and it was also like a white poached bean, she stuck some soy sauce and ate it, it tasted quite delicious! The raw red water is sweet, with the moisture of Jiangnan, but if you accidentally bite into the skin, it will feel a little jerky.
After setting up eight small plates, the waiter on one side said to them, "This is the free refreshment that our store has given you for free, wait a while, and the barbecue will come up."
The barbecue came up quickly, and the portions were very large, with more than 20 varieties alone.
Roasted corn, roasted eggplant, roasted leeks, roasted lotus root, roasted potatoes, roasted beans, Lin Xue took two skewers each, divided half and handed them to Liu Ruxi's plate.
Liu Ruxi smiled softly, he said "thank you" to Lin Xue with his mouth, and Lin Xue smiled at him.
The fat man on the side drank a sip of watermelon juice and said to everyone: "Liang Fan has a treat tonight, let's let go of our belly and eat together!"
Xiao K glanced at him and said, "You know how to eat, no wonder you are so fat!"
The fat man shot back: "The people take food as the sky, do you understand?"
The two of them ate barbecue while not forgetting the war of words.
Eight people almost wiped out the barbecue, Lin Xue found that Liu Ruxi, who was sitting next to her, still ate very little, and Lin Xue ate all her own barbecue, this feeling of skewers is really cool!
The waiter served two plates of red water chestnut and the best red water chestnut soup, Lin Xue immediately stretched out her chopsticks to them, the cooked water chestnut was soft and glutinous, with a little sweetness, the taste was noodle, and the seasoning of the red water chestnut was very sufficient, and it felt great to eat.
Liang Fan asked for some cold beer again, except for Liu Ruxi, the other boys began to drink beer, they were all a little drunk, Ah Jun's face was crimson, he stared at Lin Xue with a little blurred eyes, he exhaled a breath and asked Lin Xue: "Lin Xue, do you have a boyfriend now?"
When Lin Xue saw him like this, she felt a little strange in her heart, and Liu Ruxi next to her turned her head to look at Lin Xue.
Lin Xue said to him, "No."
Ah Jun laughed, looking a little silly: "I'm still single now, otherwise, how about you be with me now?"
When Liu Ruxi heard Ah Jun say this, he clenched the glass in his right hand and looked down at the tea in the glass.
When the fat man and little K heard Ah Jun's words, they started to coax, and the fat man said, "Okay! Jun really has you! Lin Xue, you promised him, right? ”
Xiao K: "Our Ah Jun is good-looking, innocent and single-minded, and the family conditions are good!" Lin Xue, you just got from him! ”
Yang Meiyue looked a little surprised, she looked at Ah Jun and Lin Xue blankly, and didn't react for a while.
Liang Fan and Chen Bin clinked glasses to each other and drank cold beer.
Lin Xue thought for a while and said to him, "Are you drunk?" I don't have any plans to fall in love with anyone right now. ”
Ah Jun supported his chin with his hand and squinted at Lin Xue with his peach blossom eyes: "Then when do you want to talk, remember to find me." After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and slapped a wine gap.
Lin Xue let out a "hmm", Liu Ruxi's slightly raised eyebrows slowly loosened, and he took a string of roasted tofu skin and put it in Lin Xue's saucer.
Everyone ate and drank for more than an hour, drank some beer, it was nothing to them young boys, and soon most of the wine woke up, Liang Fan swiped the card to check out, he walked in front and led everyone out of the restaurant, Lin Xue touched his stomach that was a little supportive, and pouted.
There are stalls selling fireworks next to the barbecue stall, all kinds of fireworks, and some little flying squirrels and little flying butterflies that Lin Xue played with when she was a child.
Chen Bin went to buy 10 high-altitude fireworks, and Ah Jun selected a lot of small flying butterflies, small flying squirrels, small fire wheels, small rockets, and many hand-held cold fireworks.
Little K: "Let's finish these small ones first, and then enlarge them, there is only one high-altitude salute in one tube, and then the eight of us will light eight high-altitude salutes at the same time, and the last two will be another point."
The fat man agreed: "That's a good idea!"
Little K: "That's, that's, my brother K came up with a good idea!"
The fat man looked disdainful: "Brother K? You're a K-boy! ”
The two rivals quarreled again.
Eight people walked to the gray path together, you can already see the Beiliu River in front of you, walk a short distance along the path, you can go to the stairs leading to the river, the Beiliu River is on both sides of the slope, there are grass and trees planted on it, if you want to go down to see the river, you have to go down from the artificially built stairs on the slope.
Eight people walked down the stairs and came to the flat land along the river, stepping on some damp soil under their feet, it is summer, the weather is very hot, the sun is also very sunny during the day, and there is not much rain, so there is not much water in the river, and the unique fishy smell of the river is accompanied by a breeze towards the forest and snow.
Ah Jun and Chen Bin put these fireworks in plastic bags on the grass, and just now Xiao K bought a small packet of incense at the fireworks stand, and he used a lighter to light 8 incense sticks, one for each person, to light the tail of the small fireworks.
Lin Xue didn't want to play with those spinning and explosive small fireworks, because after this kind of fireworks was lit, she would have to run far away, so as not to be blown up, she wanted to play with the hand-held fireworks bars, she took Liu Ruxi's left hand, took 7 or 8 hand-held fireworks bars and a lighter, and the two of them stayed away from those people together, and walked to a place five or six meters away from them and stopped.
The body of the fireworks is colorful, and the head of the fireworks is yellow paper the size of the index finger, Lin Xue pressed the plastic lighter to light the yellow paper, and she asked Liu Ruxi: "Have you ever played with fireworks before?"
The head of the fireworks was soon ignited, and pink fireworks flames erupted from the mouth of the fireworks, illuminating Lin Xue's face, and Lin Xue held the fireworks pole and drew an "O" shape in a small way.
The fireworks are very beautiful, and now they have turned into yellow flames, Liu Ruxi glanced at the fireworks, and his eyes turned to Lin Xue: "I haven't played it, I used to see the fireworks set off by people on Rongshan during the New Year's Festival, which is very beautiful."
Lin Xue handed the fireworks in her hand to Liu Ruxi, Liu Ruxi held it without shaking, Lin Xue used a new firework to catch the flames from the old fireworks, and the new fireworks were quickly ignited and spewed out pink flames.
After Ah Jun over there lit a small fire wheel, he immediately ran a few steps away, he looked in the direction of Lin Xue, and saw her and Liu Ruxi lighting fireworks together, he inexplicably felt that the fireworks in Lin Xue's hands were very dazzling.
Liu Ruxi and Lin Xue watched them light those little fireworks here, those gadgets were exciting and interesting, Yang Meiyue was afraid that the little flying squirrel would jump at her feet, so she screamed, Lin Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, Liu Ruxi looked down at her smile at this time, as beautiful as fireworks.
Half an hour later, the small fireworks were burned, the fat man and Xiao K quickly put up eight high-altitude fireworks on the flat ground, about 1 meter between each two cylinders of fireworks, Lin Xue chose the rightmost tube, Yang Meiyue saw Lin Xue in this position, she chose the tube of fireworks on Lin Xue's left, Ah Jun didn't know what he thought, he actually squatted down at the fireworks on Yang Meiyue's left, Liu Ruxi went to get the lighter and turned around and saw that there was no place for Lin Xue next to him, so he had to squat down at the fireworks on Ah Jun's left.
After everyone squatted down together, the fat man gave an order: "I'll count to 1, and you guys will start ordering!" 3、2、1! ”
Lin Xue pressed the lighter to light the wire, she turned around and just wanted to run to the grass not far away, when a lot of force behind her suddenly pulled Lin Xue down.
