Chapter 11: Poor Expectations
The two ran back upstairs, and the rice in the rice cooker was already cooked.
Li Zhaotan probe: "What are you burning? Why do you toss for so long? Hey, just get some food." ”
Wen Shuqin smiled: "There are still green vegetables and tofu left to fry." Chengzhi, do you want to come?"
"Okay. Shao Chengzhi took the spatula, "Give me the apron." "Shao Chengzhi has been cooking by himself in the United States, but he can only fry the two dishes of green vegetables and eggs, but Li Zhao thinks that Shao Chengzhi's two dishes are fried at a good level, at least better than his wife's fried level, so as long as he comes, let him show his hand.
Shao Chengzhi poured oil into the pot, threw the dried chili peppers into the oil pot, then cut a few thin slices of meat and burst them, put the green vegetables and tofu down together, turned them over twice, and sprinkled with a little salt: "Okay, it's cooked." ”
Wen Shuqin and Wang Xia praised together: "It's so fragrant." ”
Shao Chengzhi put the fried tofu with green vegetables in an enamel bowl, and he couldn't help but be proud.
Wen Shuqin glanced at Wang Xia with a smile - Shao Chengzhi is so capable, you will be blessed and enjoyed in the future.
Wen Shuqin called her niece out, and the five of them sat down to eat together, Li Zhao opened two bottles of beer and drank them opposite Shao Chengzhi.
There are four dishes on the table: a large bowl of crucian carp soup, in which there are several crucian carp, but the meat is broken and falls into the soup, a small fish bone meat with chopsticks, a plate of thick egg cakes, wrapped in chopped green chilies, this dish is fine, but the salt is scattered unevenly, a mouthful of tasteless and salty to death, a large plate of braised chicken wings, the wings are taken out of the refrigerator, the thawing is not very good, the meat between the two bones is still pink, and it can be eaten improvised, and finally there is the plate of fried tofu with green vegetables.
Shao Chengzhi drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup, and his tongue was pricked by a small thorn, so he didn't dare to eat fish again, and the other two dishes were difficult to eat, so he had to stare at the green vegetable tofu he fried and eat, and his heart was a little disappointed: everyone usually eats working meals, and they don't improve their food on weekends.
Shao Chengzhi thought about it again, and he had nothing to complain about - Li Zhao didn't do housework at all, Wen Shuqin started cooking after getting married, and of course her level was limited, and Wang Xia had been living in the dormitory, let alone getting it. In fact, that's all there is to the home-cooked food in my hometown, and the family is just slightly more delicious than them
Shao Chengzhi looked around the room, this living room was facing north, there was no window, there was a small dining table, and the arms of the five people who were already full when they sat down couldn't stretch out. In the corner of the living room there is a shoe cabinet, a refrigerator, sundries, it is small, dark and cramped, however, this is a suite, at least a kitchen, a bathroom, and two bedrooms.
Shao Chengzhi suddenly thought that if he married Wang Xia, in order to save money, it was estimated that he would rent a smaller one-bedroom apartment, or even share a room with others.
Shao Chengzhi seemed to be sitting facing Wang Xia in front of him, using the computer desk as a dining table, and on the table were fried vegetables and eggs.
Although the blind date was about eleven o'clock, Shao Chengzhi arrived at Wangjing CapitaMall at ten o'clock in the morning.
Shao Chengzhi had no choice but to look at the coffee shops one by one - he had to find a place with an elegant environment, after all, it was the first time he met other girls, and as a result, he saw the sixth floor from the first floor, layer by layer, circle by circle, and the coffee shops were all overcrowded. It was almost half past ten, Shao Chengzhi began to be anxious for no reason, he turned a corner, and in front of him was a passage, and on both sides was the glass wall of the restaurant.
Suddenly, Shao Chengzhi's heart beat twice - on one side of the passage was a Western-style bar, and against the dark background, there was a set of brown and black four-seater leather backrest tables and chairs, close to the glass window, and two girls were sitting opposite each other chatting. The girl with her back to him was wearing a silver-gray silk tight-fitting waist-bearing shirt, with a straight back with a shoulder lock, long hair that hung down to the waist and a thin braid around her sideburns, tied behind her head, hanging straight down, with a graceful silhouette, and holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
Shao Chengzhi quickly shifted his gaze, suppressed his heartbeat, walked past the window with his eyes level, Shi Shiran, and also gave Ling Ran a back (does she still know me?), and then, with a limp, he entered the bar.
There weren't many people in the bar in the morning, and there were almost just three of them except for the waiters. Shao Chengzhi sat on the high stool in front of the bar, asked for a bottle of beer, and then slowly turned around, and suddenly smiled bitterly The leather sofa in the bar is with a high back, and it is 4 sets of 4 seats placed together, and the top of the partition between the seats and the seats is planted with pothos, and after people sit down, the pothos is higher than the head. Shao Chengzhi was sitting at the bar, condescending, and he could see Ling Ran and them sitting there, but Ling Ran and her best friend didn't glance at this side at all.
Shao Chengzhi took out his mobile phone, called the director of the network administration, and reported the name and location of the bar to him. The superintendent said to tell his sister-in-law immediately. After three minutes, the director called back, and the sister-in-law had already gone out, but now there is a traffic jam on the Ring Expressway, and she may be a few minutes late, please forgive Shao Chengzhi. Shao Chengzhi hurriedly said that it didn't matter, he could wait.
Shao Chengzhi put away his mobile phone, well, there was still no response at the table over there, and the two girls were chatting attentively. Shao Chengzhi was depressed, facing the bottle, and slowly drank beer one by one-
Sitting opposite Ling Ran in a jujube red skirt is her best friend Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin's hometown is in a provincial capital city in the south, her father is the vice president of an enterprise, and her mother is a director in a state-owned bank. This is very similar to Ling Ran. Ling Ran and her father's hukou are both in Shanghai, her father was seconded from Shanghai to Beijing very early, and Ling Ran lived with her grandparents until she graduated from high school.
Li Yuxin, slender and tall, honey-colored skin, melon seed face, clear eyebrows, long hair hanging down her shoulders, although she is not as eye-catching as Ling Ran, she is also an absolute beauty. And Li Yuxin has a very high IQ, sharp conversation, and is very capable, as long as you talk to her for five minutes, you can feel her clear thinking and decisive character. Li Yuxin's grades in college were mediocre, but she showed her extraordinary activity and organizational skills early. After graduation, Li Yuxin worked in an import and export company for less than two years, then resigned and started his own company, doing import and export business, and now has 4-5 employees under his hands, with an annual net profit of more than one million. Li Yuxin's start-up capital for opening the company was given by her parents, but in a large house of more than 200 square meters in Beijing, a Lexus SUV was completely earned by herself.
The two girls, both of whom are children from top middle-class families, have been spoiled by the old man since they were young and asked for the stars not to give the moon, Ling Ran is brutal and willful and impulsive, Li Yuxin is sharp and rational and impatient, and the two have both similarities and complementarities in their personalities, so Wang Ba Mung Bean has a pair of eyes, but there are countless people in the world. The two are so good that they don't talk about anything, and the most talkative and the most completely consistent point of view is when they belittle men together.
Li Yuxin was telling Ling Ran about the stupid things she had encountered recently—except for Ling Ran, everyone among her classmates knew about it.
At the end of last year, Li Yuxin saw that the company's profits had been good this year, her heart was excited, her brain was short-circuited, and her palms were itchy, and she felt that she wanted to thank her subordinates for their hard cooperation in the past year. "I bought a few more Li Yuxin, and I plan to send them to customers.
The 10 latest models, it was really a thunderbolt, and the mobile phone store manager was shaken out. The man was in his 30s and wore a black suit and a black tie
Samsung mobile phones are all kinds of attentive, giving Li Yuxin an introduction one by one, knowing everything and saying everything, picking one by one, packing one by one, sending Li Yuxin all the way out, all the way to the car, and then various after-sales services, including cooking dinner for her and washing underwear
The two have lived together for more than half a year, Li Yuxin went to the United States to run an exhibition last month, which is expected to take a week, before leaving, Samsung mobile phone has been sending her to the security checkpoint: "honey (Li Yuxin said that angry: graduated from bad school, I don't know English, I sell mobile phone salesmen, but I have a honey, darling. The dog has ivory in its mouth, and I still admire it every day), pay attention to safety, don't be too tired. I miss you day and night. ”
As a result, Li Yuxin met a big buyer on the first day of the exhibition, and a single order was enough for her to work for a year. Li Yuxin is very shrewd and down-to-earth at work, knowing how big a small company like her stomach is, and being greedy can only support herself to death, so she packed up her things in a hurry, changed her ticket to return to China, and bought a duty-free Philip 3D razor at the airport, which can be regarded as a double surprise for her Samsung mobile phone.
Li Yuxin smiled bitterly: "I wanted to give someone a double surprise, but they gave me an eightfold shock." ”
