Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Xiatou

After getting off work in the afternoon, Yu Zhongqiu went to the kitchen to get food again, this time he learned to be obedient and got a few fast food boxes before going. This time, Wang Jing was instructed by Zhao Xuezi to refuse Yu Zhongqiu's fast food and let him take it. Yu Zhongqiu didn't care about her, put the lunch box on her workbench and left. Wang Jing was slightly angry, walked out of the service desk in front of Yu Zhongqiu, picked up the lunch box and threw it into the trash can in the corner. Yu Zhongqiu was about to enter the elevator, but when she saw her like this, she asked angrily: "What are you doing, this is what I did for Mr. Xia, even if I lose it, she will handle it herself, why did you lose it?" ”

Wang Jing said indignantly: "You still have the face to say that Mr. Xia has a splitting headache after eating your meal at noon, it must be that your food is not clean, maybe it is poisonous." This time it was Yu Zhongqiu's turn to be dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that this was the ending, she worked hard to cook for Xia Chuqing, but she had a headache, and she was fine after eating, how could it be, besides, if there was a real problem, it would be a stomachache, how could it be a headache? Seeing Yu Zhongqiu's dumbfounded expression there, Wang Jing was even more angry and said, "Don't bring food over, oh, don't even come up to the 32nd floor, you are not welcome here." Zhao Xuezi was hiding at the door of her office and looked at it coldly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't go in until Yu Zhongqiu left.

Yu Zhongqiu was a little discouraged and entered the elevator, he was very irritable at this time, he wanted to go in to see Xia Chuqing, but he couldn't get in, he knew that there must be something wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he could only turn his grief and anger into food. Going down to the first floor, Yu Zhongqiu left the company directly, he had already gotten off work, and now he could walk around. Running to the market, Yu Zhongqiu bought a lot of hot pot ingredients, meat side dishes, all kinds of seasonings, and bought a new hot pot, and returned to the dormitory to make hot pot.

In fact, as soon as he entered the elevator, Xia Chuqing came out, she didn't ask about the lunch box and Yu Zhongqiu, so she said to Wang Jing lightly: "Xiao Wang, you go to the personnel department to call Sister Hua up, I have something to call her and I can't get through." Wang Jing nodded and said, "Okay." Xia Chuqing went in, and after Wang Jing entered the elevator, Xia Chuqing looked around, at this time Zhao Xuezi's reception should have been to eat and had not come back, seeing that there was no one around, Xia Chuqing went to the trash can to take a look, there was no garbage in it, maybe there were a few pieces of soft waste paper under the lunch box, and the lunch box was also packaged in the belt. I picked up the strap and went back to the office.

After entering, she took out the lunch box, which was covered with a thick porcelain bowl and a plastic lid, through which she could see the red roast meat inside, which was tempting her taste buds, Xia Chuqing put the lunch box into the drawer. Usually she rarely eats in the company in the afternoon, most of them go home to eat, she also knows how to cook a little Jiangnan cuisine, but there is no authentic food at noon, and what she eats in the restaurant is a big meal, Yu Zhongqiu makes homely cooking, she has eaten for more than a year, and she has a particularly familiar feeling as soon as she enters the mouth. Zhao Xuezi poured her food, she was very unhappy in her heart, but after all, they also cared about themselves, so they had to endure it.

Originally, she was going to get off work, but when she arrived at the door, she saw Yu Zhongqiu getting out of the elevator, so she retreated in to see the development of the situation, but she didn't expect Wang Jing, a fool, to make her own opinion, and she didn't blame her, she didn't know that she just felt that the taste was familiar and recalled some things that caused headaches, and when she saw that she lost the food, she couldn't help but feel that it was a pity, mainly because of the familiar taste, which made her want to continue to eat in order to recall some of the past. So she took Wang Jing away and secretly picked up the food again. At the same time, I called the logistics to come and change the garbage bags. She knew that Wang Jing and Hua Yuxuan would come over later, so she hid the food first.

After a while, sure enough, Wang Jing and Hua Yuxuan came in together, Xia Chuqing asked Wang Jing to go out first, sat on the sofa on the side of the coffee table with Hua Yuxuan, and asked, "Sister Hua, I'm sorry to delay you from getting off work." Hua Yuxuan shook her head and said, "It's okay, Xiao Qingqing, if you want to know anything, just ask." Xia Chuqing asked seriously: "Do you have something to hide from me?" Hua Yuxuan shook her head and said, "No, if you want to know something, ask directly, and I will tell you." ”

Xia Chuqing said: "Then I'll say, is there a new security guard in the company?" Hua Yuxuan nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Qingqing, do you know each other?" Xia Chuqing shook her head and said, "I don't have the impression of seeing this person, but I feel that he is very familiar with me." Hua Yuxuan's heart tightened, since Xia Chuqing came back two years ago, she didn't say a word about her previous experience, no one knew what she had experienced in Nanzheng, only that she had been wearing hats since she came back, and suddenly she liked all kinds of hats, and she and Zhao Xuezi studied many styles of hats and released them. She estimated that something must have happened when Xia Chuqing came back, and she couldn't guess what it was, but if Xia Chuqing didn't know Yu Zhongqiu, Hua Yuxuan didn't believe it, but what did she mean by asking?

However, Hua Yuxuan and Zhao Xuezi discussed, so it was natural to reply at this time: "It's nothing more than some wild bees and butterflies, find out your preferences in advance, and then come over to attract your attention, so as to achieve their goal of eating soft rice in one step." Seeing Xia Chuqing nodding slightly, he said again: "If you don't like it, I'll fire him." Xia Chuqing shook her head and said: "In the company, my admirers don't say hundreds, even thousands, there must be dozens, what are you firing for?" Hua Yuxuan nodded and said, "That's too, then don't care about him." The two chatted casually about some homely things, and Hua Yuxuan left.

After Hua Yuxuan left, after Xia Chuqing locked the door, he eagerly took out the lunch box, opened it and smelled the spicy fragrance emitted inside, and made home-cooked tofu in the afternoon, braised pork, tofu is fried with white tofu until browned on both sides, supplemented by green and red peppers, lean meat, sprinkled with green onions out of the pot, Yu Zhongqiu will add eggs into it. The braised pork is different from Dongpo meat, Yu Zhongqiu stir-fried the meat pieces until fragrant, put the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the chili pepper and the ingredients, put the soy sauce to color, and simmer until the garlic grains are eroded, of course, Yu Zhongqiu will put potato pieces when he is about to dry.

Seeing this familiar meal, Xia Chuqing swept away one of them, habitually picked up the lunch box to the bathroom to clean it, picked up the lid and was about to close it, suddenly seemed to remember something, so he opened a cabinet, which was actually some snacks, took a handful of sugar, and put a few in each of the three boxes, and then covered it. I picked up the original bag and put it in it, and suddenly I felt that it was inappropriate, so I looked around and saw that the pink bag containing the laptop was just the right size, so I took out the laptop and put the lunch box in it.

Lifting the lunch box, Xia Chuqing pondered for a while, then picked up her mobile phone and called Xiao Wang from the personnel department and asked her to come up. Xiao Wang of the Personnel Department is called Wang Jun, Xia Chuqing has already seen Yu Zhongqiu's entry and knows that this person is the one who gave Yu Zhongqiu the entry. After he and her came, Xia Chuqing said: "Xiao Wang, there is something that I need your help with." ”

Wang Jun naturally nodded immediately and agreed: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xia for your trust, I will do my best." Xia Chuqing smiled at her and said, "You send this lunch box to the fat man named Yu Zhongqiu who joined the company yesterday, and tell him to cook it in the future and send it to you first, and you will send it to you, but you can't let others know that he made it for me, understand?" Wang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, I will complete the task." It's just that when she went out, she was still in turmoil in her heart, Mr. Xia would be interested in an ugly fat man? Then he shook the thoughts in his head vigorously, impossible, impossible, impossible. And Wang Jing at the door watched Wang Jun walk into the elevator suspiciously, wanting to stop and ask, but it was inconvenient to speak.

Yu Zhongqiu turned on the hot pot in the dormitory, attracted the two old men to get up, and saw Yu Zhongqiu eating hot meat with a depressed face, so he also brought out his bowl and began to grab food cheekily. Yu Zhongqiu raised his eyes and glanced at the two old men, and said, "There are chili peppers, you Shanghainese also eat chili peppers?" ”

The two old men sat up, and began to introduce themselves, and said in a high voice: "My surname is Zhang, Zhang Liangfu, everyone calls me Lao Zhangtou." He pointed to the shorter one and said, "His surname is Li, Li Yanbai, you can call him Lao Litou." They all introduced, and Yu Zhongqiu introduced himself: "My name is Yu Zhongqiu, you can call me Xiao Yu." As he spoke, he took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lao Li Tou said while eating: "Recently, I have no taste, I want to try it when I see the chili pepper, and I see that you haven't come back, so we will help you deal with the lunch box you put here." Yu Zhongqiu couldn't help but glance at the two of them in surprise, and then took another vegetable leaf and shook the oil in the bowl, before saying: "I thought you threw it in the trash, but there is a Jiangnan restaurant outside, so you can just go directly." ”

Lao Zhangtou sneered at a piece of meat in his mouth and rolled it with his tongue a few times, then bit it and swallowed it, and then said: "No, no, no, the authentic shop is too expensive, and the cheaper one is not authentic." Where did you buy it yesterday, you kid, it tastes barely passable. Yu Zhongqiu sneered: "I asked the boss to fry the pot for me." The two old men were so happy that they said, "Then I have to rely on you in the future, bring two more portions when I cook." Yu Zhongqiu thought for a moment and said, "No problem, isn't it just a few meals." ”

The food was rising, and a person walked in, and he was already shouting loudly at the door: "You two old ghosts, you actually eat hot pot here, and you don't call me." Yu Zhongqiu raised his eyes and looked at it, and found that it was a very temperamental old man, with a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, he walked in with a cane on a half-pillar, but his steps were not staggering.

When someone came in, they found that there was one more person, so they asked, "Who is this little friend?" Yu Zhongqiu stood up and helped him find a place to sit down, before introducing himself: "My name is Yu Zhongqiu, and I am the new security guard of the company. Lao Zhangtou said: "This is our old leader, called Lao Xia Tou, Xia Xueyi." Yu Zhongqiu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lao Xia Tou and said, "Hello, hello." Then he said to a few people, "It seems that you all call me the old man, so you can call me Xiao Yutou from now on." The three elders laughed.

Lao Xia Tou picked up the wine that Lao Li Tou poured for him, and said to Yu Zhongqiu: "Come, Xiao Yu Tou, when we meet for the first time, I will toast you with a glass, old man." Yu Zhongqiu hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said: "No, no, no, I should respect you, the first time we meet, I wish you good health, good spirits, dragon and tiger steps, dragon and horse spirit." Old Xia Tou grinned and said, "You kid is quite good at talking, come and do it." The two of them drank the glass of wine and ate some more food. Lao Xia Tou said: "Xiao Yutou, I'm getting older, so I'll drink the wine slowly, don't be weird." Yu Zhongqiu shook his head while eating the vegetables and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just a moderate amount." Originally, Yu Zhongqiu bought beer, but Lao Li took out his collection of liquor, and poured him a glass without Yu Zhongqiu's consent.

A few people were eating, Wang Jun walked over, glanced at the door, and saw that there were many people, so he beckoned to Yu Zhongqiu: "That, excuse me, Yu Zhongqiu, you come out." Yu Zhongqiu saw that it was from the personnel department, and he also wanted to save face, and he went through the entry procedures for himself yesterday, so he sued and got up and went out.

Wang Jun gave him the bag, and then motioned for him to come closer before whispering, "Mr. Xia said that you should make a meal and send it to me first, understand?" Yu Zhongqiu suddenly smiled, winking at her to show his understanding, Wang Jun felt that he was a little frivolous, and couldn't help blushing, but he still continued: "Mr. Xia doesn't want this to be known by others. Yu Zhongqiu nodded in agreement, and said softly: "Thank you, little sister, happy little sister", the angry Wang Jun stomped his feet and ran away.

opened the beautiful bag, saw that it was his own lunch box, stacked neatly, and through the lid of the bowl, he could see a few pieces of sugar inside, which made him think back to when he was with Xia Chuqing, once he got a game downstairs and sent a bowl to Yu Zhongqiu's house, Xia Chuqing likes to eat very much, and he does half of it alone, and every time he sees Xia Chuqing eating with relish, Yu Zhongqiu is very satisfied. When returning the bowl, a few pieces of sugar were put in the washed bowl, and Xia Chuqing asked, "Why do you want to put a few pieces of sugar?" Yu Zhongqiu stroked her long hair and said: "There is no reason why the bowl is empty, and in our place, an empty bowl means empty death, which is unlucky." "Oh, I see." Xia Chuqing made her clothes look like she suddenly realized.

Yu Zhongqiu hummed a song while opening the lunch box and walked into the house, and then happily said to the three old men: "Congratulations, someone gave me delicious food today, I am so happy, I specially took it out to share with you." As he spoke, he sent a message to one of the three old men: "You are old, just eat one." Then he put the rest of the bowl in his own pocket, and happily put the bowl in the bag, and put the bag on his bed. Now the quilt has not been delivered.

The three old men also happily took the candy, peeled it off and stuffed it into their mouths, after all, they were still eating Jiangnan-style hot pot, but it was spicy. Lao Xia Tou took the candy and peeled it while wondering in his heart, this sugar is so familiar, he glanced at the bag in Yu Zhongqiu's hand, the color was very familiar, but there were no words on it, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
