Chapter 9: Roshan
Qi Dong arrived at the school gate on time at six o'clock.
Chen Hao was wearing a pair of denim cropped pants and was already waiting there.
"Where are you going to eat?" As soon as he arrived at Chen Hao's side, Qi Dong asked.
"There is a self-service barbecue hot pot on Guangning Road, the price is OK, only 39 yuan per person, and I have already bought a meal coupon on Meituan. Chen Hao replied in one breath.
If the price is too expensive, Qi Dong himself will feel embarrassed to accept it, but this price is just right, and ordinary students can afford it.
The two took bus No. 52, got off at the South Quang Ninh Road bus stop, and walked for about five minutes to reach their destination.
After walking into the cafeteria, Chen Hao first scanned the QR code of the meal coupon at the cash register, while Qi Dong roughly glanced at the layout of the restaurant.
There are various types of ingredients on the bar table near the door, and then there is a place for guests to eat, and there are about dozens of self-service barbecue hot pot integrated tables horizontally and vertically.
It's dinner time, and there are a lot of guests inside, and it's very lively.
As soon as he walked inside, Chen Hao pulled Qi Dong aside and said mysteriously:
"Qi Dong, I deliberately checked the strategy on the Internet last night, we should eat in seven steps, in order, fruits, sashimi, crab lobster, etc., and then all kinds of meats, salads, staple foods, desserts. Don't eat in a mixed bag, be sure to 'eat in layers' in order. Also, it's best not to drink carbonated drinks. ”
Qi Dong was shocked when he heard this, he really didn't expect that a big man like Chen Hao would be so shrewd.
"Whatever, just eat enough, can't we return to our original cost based on our appetite?" Qi Dong replied disapprovingly.
"You're right, it's fun to eat casually. Chen Hao smiled and agreed.
The two of them picked a seat in the back, because the outside seats were already occupied. After putting down the things, Qi Dong went to get the ingredients by himself.
By this time he was very hungry, and thought that it would be best to eat some ready-made food, so he set his sights on desserts first.
After going around a whole circle, Qi Dong found the counter where the desserts were placed.
He stopped and looked at the counter, where there were a lot of sweets, including various flavors of mousse, puffs, cheesecakes, puff pastries, egg tarts, double skin milk, sago dew, nectar, glutinous rice cakes, and so on.
Qi Dong swallowed his saliva, no longer hesitated, took a rectangular plastic tray from under the table, and then moved his hands together to take out all kinds of desserts from the counter and put them on the tray.
In less than a minute, the plastic tray was full of all kinds of desserts, Qi Dong did not stop, and returned to the table with a smoke.
Seeing that Chen Hao hadn't come back yet, Qi Dong started first, stuffed a cake in his mouth with one hand, and swallowed it without even chewing it.
The young girls in the next seat seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and they all lazily leaned back in their chairs to rest, and the hot pot on the table was still steaming.
They seemed to notice Qi Dong munching on dessert, and they all turned their heads to look at Qi Dong with interest.
"Haha, he's so cute. One of the chubby, innocent-looking girls chuckled softly.
"Hmph, it's just a starving ghost reincarnated, no taste!" said another Internet celebrity face girl wearing heavy makeup, her tone was very disdainful.
Qi Dong also sensed that someone was talking about him, but he didn't care and ate his dessert wholeheartedly.
It didn't take long for him to sweep away the desserts on the tray, and his hunger subsided a little.
At this time, there was still no trace of Chen Hao, and Qi Dong thought to himself that it was probably this guy who was picky. Then he stood up and walked towards the ingredient section again with the tray.
This time, his goals are much broader. All kinds of meats, seafood, fruits, staple foods are on his radar.
Despite this, Qi Dong still prioritized some already grilled meat skewers and steaks, because these things were delicious and could fill his stomach quickly.
For the first time in his life, Qi Dong felt that his hands were not enough. No matter what the ingredients, compared with steamed buns and instant noodles, it seems to have become a delicacies of the mountains and seas.
After walking back and forth between the dining table and the ingredients area more than a dozen times, Qi Dong took all the ingredients he wanted.
However, looking at the dining table that was already full of plates, Qi Dong's brows furrowed.
At this time, Chen Hao also returned to the table with a large number of ingredients, and when he saw this scene, he was also at a loss.
The two looked at each other, each smiling bitterly.
"I have an idea!" Suddenly, Chen Hao clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows.
"If you look at the ingredients on the table, there are only a few slices of meat on each plate, but there is no need for that. Why don't we take the ingredients out of the plate and put them on a plastic tray, which can greatly save space!" Chen Hao said his thoughts in one breath.
"Wow, yes, Haozi, you're a genius!"
After hearing this, Qi Dong glanced at the table again, and sure enough, most of the space was occupied by ceramic plates, and immediately praised loudly.
Next, the two of them took out the ingredients from the plate and placed them in different plastic trays according to categories. Then, Chen Hao called the waiter to take back the empty ceramic plates.
As a result, the dining table, which was originally full of plates, became empty again, leaving only a few plastic trays with a few ingredients on them, and the total weight would not exceed five catties.
"Look, there seemed to be a lot of ingredients on the table just now, and they were only a little bit piled together. Chen Hao pointed to the plastic tray and said.
"It's just that, it's not enough to eat. Qi Dong looked a little disappointed.
"Haha, it's not enough to get it again, it's a cafeteria anyway. Chen Hao smiled and patted Qi Dong's shoulder.
After saying that, the two of them each walked towards the food area with a plastic tray. This time, they learned wisely, and took the ingredients out of the food section and put them on the tray, leaving the ceramic plate in its place.
Ten minutes later, Qi Dong and Chen Hao walked down the aisle one after the other, they walked very slowly and carefully.
The diners in the dining area seemed to notice them and stopped their chopsticks to look at them.
The originally noisy restaurant fell silent for a moment, and the food in the mouths of the diners stopped chewing, and they all watched the strange and bizarre scene in front of them with wide eyes.
Qi Dong walked in front, holding a plastic tray in his hand, and this tray seemed to be bent down a little because the contents were too heavy, making people worry that it would suddenly break.
On the tray is a mountain of meat that is half a meter high, or rather, a huge rectangular piece of meat made of countless pieces of meat glued together!
Walking behind was Chen Hao, and the situation was similar to Qi Dong, except that his tray was covered with all kinds of fruits. The bunches placed at the bottom of the grape did not withstand the tremendous pressure and turned into grape juice dripping from the edge of the tray.
Back at the table, the two put down the tray in their hands and let out a long breath.
Then, they noticed that the entire restaurant was looking at them with a strange look.
