Chapter 52 The so-called food festival
When I came out of Helin Bay with Xu Qingya's style map for decoration, the sky was already getting dark. Chen Xingcheng, who also booked a villa next to him, also really understood his father's intention to let him get closer to Xu Haibao.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Haibao's family background may not be as good as the Chen family. Judging from his interpersonal skills and vision, Chen Xingcheng knows very well that he is far inferior to Xu Haibao. Perhaps in the near future, Xu Haibao will become the object of his admiration.
It's just that for Chen Xingcheng, since he retired from the army, he has never disliked Xu Haibao's family background. For him, the big brother of the army, after he was discharged from the army, he still treated him as a big brother.
Driving out of Helin Bay, Chen Xingcheng asked at the right time: "Brother Bao, will you go to my restaurant for dinner?"
As a result, Xu Haibao didn't speak, but Xu Qingya said: "Brother Cheng, go to the restaurant to eat at this point, it is estimated that it is full, right? Brother, why don't you go to the food festival to have a look? My classmate said that the food festival held in the city is the last day today?"
Listening to Xu Qingya's suggestion, Xu Haibao didn't think much about it. For him, there are many festivals in the city at the end of the year. The non-staple food trading festival, the New Year's goods procurement festival and this kind of food festival are also staged in turn.
In the final analysis, it is all businesses that take advantage of the end of the new year to find ways to make citizens consume. But in this kind of food festival, there are not many foods that can really be tasted. But for a girl of Xu Qingya's age, it is still very attractive.
After all, most of the things at the food festival are not expensive, and many other local specialties that you can't usually eat can also be found at the food festival stalls. Spend one or two hundred yuan to spin around, and you can eat as much as you want.
This kind of food festival is not of much interest to Xu Haibao, but since Xu Qingya wants to go, he naturally wants to accompany him. As for Chen Xingcheng, who is a driver today, he knew the result when Xu Qingya said that he wanted to go to the food festival.
Who called his big brother, a pet girl maniac!
On the way to the food festival, Xu Qingya was also full of joy, holding her mobile phone and quickly sending text messages. When the car entered the city, Xu Qingya asked Chen Xingcheng, who was driving, to take a slight detour.
The reason is, by the way, pick her up a good girlfriend. It's rare to go back to the city, and Xu Qingya also wants to get together more with these good sisters from high school. What's more, accompanying two big men to the food festival, she felt a little boring.
Listening to what Xu Qingya said, Chen Xingcheng didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Haibao with a sad face. From his eyes, Xu Haibao could somewhat understand that this look seemed to say, 'What's going on'.
But Xu Haibao also gave a look back, that is, 'bear with it'. Until the car arrived at the place Xu Qingya said, there was already a girl there, standing at the intersection and looking around from time to time, until Xu Qingya asked Chen Xingcheng to stop quickly.
Rolled down the window and said, "Here! I'm here, get in the car!"
When the girl on the side of the road got into the car, Xu Qingya and the girl smiled and pinched each other a few times before saying: "Brother, do you know who she is? If you don't recognize people, they will be very disappointed! Back then, she was your little fan sister!"
"Mini size! You're Xiaohan! I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you've also been admitted to college?"
"Brother Haibao, hello! I am now studying tourism at Nankai University!"
Seeing Xu Haibao, he recognized himself at a glance, and Liu Xiaohan, who was pulled out by Xu Qingya to accompany him, was still a little shy. Even if her personality is relatively straightforward and cheerful, when facing Xu Haibao, she is somewhat lacking in confidence.
After all, when she was a girl, she didn't clamored for Xu Haibao to be her boyfriend! Now that she is older, she naturally feels a little embarrassed when she thinks of these ridiculous things she did when she was a girl.
Fortunately, Xu Haibao seemed to be a gentleman, and he didn't make fun of Liu Xiaohan, but chatted with her politely. When the four of them arrived at the scene of the food festival and looked at the crowd of people, the four of them seemed a little surprised.
"Isn't it the last day? Why are there still so many people?"
Xu Qingya, who thought that it should not be very lively today, looked at the scene of the food festival and was somewhat surprised. But in Xu Haibao's opinion, this kind of scene is still very normal.
Even if this kind of food festival is not very golden, it is the best time to bring your family and children to visit. Aside from the occasion of the food festival, Baohai does not have many places suitable for casual shopping. Walking in the pedestrian street, the consumption is much higher than this!
Liu Xiaohan, who was invited over, heard what Xu Qingya said, and said with a smile: "This is the last day, and this venue will be withdrawn tomorrow." For many of the merchants participating in the food festival, today is the last chance to go crazy with the sale.
Just after the New Year, many people who went out have returned. There are not many places to visit in the city at night, and some people like to visit such places with children. After all, the consumption in this kind of place is not too high!"
After a little explanation, after parking the car, Xu Qingya also said excitedly: "GO!GO!GO!!"
Pulling Liu Xiaohan into the crowded crowd, Xu Haibao and Chen Xingcheng could only temporarily act as bodyguards. Chen Xingcheng, who followed into the crowd, said with a little curiosity: "Brother Bao, where did that beauty come from?"
"What's wrong with my sister's classmates? Are you interested again?"
"That's okay! This is Brother Bao's girl, I don't dare to stretch out my hand indiscriminately!"
"! Come on less! Although that girl's family background is not as good as yours, the family conditions are not bad. If I'm not mistaken, her family should run a travel agency, and her connections in the city seem to be quite extensive!"
"You have a story with her?"
"There's a fart story! You can't think of something good in your head, is there only that little thing left between men and women? She's my sister's classmate from junior high school to high school, what's so strange about me knowing?"
Knowing that Chen Xingcheng is also a gossip master, Xu Haibao didn't think it was strange for him to ask these questions. If he didn't ask, Xu Haibao would have felt strange. The nature is like this, in vain!
Looking at the fragrant and attractive snacks on the stall, Xu Qingya, who was pulling Liu Xiaohan as her companion, naturally wanted to make a big purchase. As far as she is concerned, she has just received 40,000 yuan today, and she can indeed have the courage to eat.
It's just that compared to Xu Haibao and Chen Xingcheng, who came to go shopping, the two of them didn't have much interest in the things on the stall. In the final analysis, the things on these stalls don't taste very good in the eyes of the two.
The only thing that is commendable may be that the price is relatively affordable. After buying a few skewers of lamb skewers, Xu Haibao shook his head after tasting them and said, "Alas, these days, why is it so difficult to eat authentic lamb skewers?"
Chen Xingcheng, who had just eaten a bunch, immediately stopped talking and said, "Brother Bao, this taste is okay! What's wrong, there's a problem?"
"It's a big problem! This is not a lamb skewer at all, the level of counterfeiting has really been getting higher and higher these years!"
"Fake?
Seeing that Chen Xingcheng's face was full of disbelief, Xu Haibao could only say: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be mutton counterfeited with pork." As for why it smells, it must be the addition of sheep's tail oil. Forget it! Ten dollars and four strings, if you want to eat mutton, it's really enough!"
"! It's really pork? No, I'm going to settle accounts with the boss!"
"Okay! This kind of food festival, this kind of thing is normal. It's not like you've never heard of selling dog meat on a sheep's head. Although this mutton is fake, the return of roast mutton is very authentic. Those people, better not mess with them!"
For Xu Haibao, after tasting a bite of the kebab, he spit it out directly. The remaining two strings were thrown directly into the trash. With the improvement of the cultivation realm, Xu Haibao's requirements for eating seem to be getting higher and higher.
When the circle came down, Xu Haibao only drank a glass of freshly squeezed coconut water. Compared with other delicacies, it is easy to fake, this kind of coconut water poured out directly from the coconut, Xu Haibao drank it quite happily.
As for Xu Qingya and Liu Xiaohan, the two girls were still quite happy to shop. Seeing what they want to eat and what they like to eat, both girls will pay for a copy to taste. If you turn around, you will spend more than 100 yuan.
When Xu Qingya felt that she was full, there was nothing left to turn around. Chen Xingcheng said: "Brother Bao, let you say that just now, this stomach is still empty." Why don't we find a place to eat?"
"You look at it, Xiaoya, Xiaohan, do you still want to eat something?"
"We're all full! Didn't you eat all the stuff on the stall just now?"
Hearing Chen Xingcheng say that he hadn't eaten enough, Xu Qingya felt a little surprised. Just waited for Chen Xingcheng to say that the mutton skewers turned out to be fake, and the two women were also very surprised. But after thinking about it, I felt normal.
After all, the fake news of lamb skewers is nothing new for many college students who often surf the Internet. At this kind of food festival, it is normal for vendors to use fake lamb skewers to sell in order to make more money.
As some merchants say, ten yuan and four skewers of meat, you can't buy a loss and can't be fooled. It's not authentic mutton, but it's a meat skewer!
