Chuandu hot pot is famous for being spicy, and after a long time in Star City, Zhou Kewen thinks that he can eat a little spicy, so in the mandarin duck pot he ordered, he put more meat in the red soup pot.

Compared to other places, the dipping sauce of this Sichuan hot pot may be more monotonous.

Because this shop only gave a small cup of oil, a bowl of chives, and a bowl of garlic.

Zhou Kewen specifically asked the waiter if there were any crushed peanuts, but the result was no~

"Without crushed peanuts, this meat will be less fragrant!"

He shook his head, and could only eat the beef with a simple dipping sauce...

Well, the taste is okay, the meat is delicious and chewy.

Zhou Kewen lowered his head and ate meat silently, but Zhao Zichen moved to the side of him and chatted with the two girls in the back.

......

Zhao Zichen's words are very broken, and the words of the hot girl and the little beauty are even more broken, the two are like a millennium of Boya and Ziji, chatting with the sea in the south and the north, and between the words, Zhao Zichen also understood the simple situation of the two daughters.

Of course......

Zhao Zichen also told them about his situation with Zhou Kewen as an exchange of information~

The two beauties opposite are sisters, from Yuncheng, Dongshan.

The hot girl is named Xiao Xin, 18 years old, a junior in high school, this time she came to Rongcheng, the capital of Sichuan, to take the art exam, and by the way, she met her sister and traveled.

The bosom sister on the side is named Xiao Yue, 23 years old, and she is the senior sister of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music......

"Beauty, are you from Chuanyin?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kewen, who was addicted to shabu-shabu, turned his head to look at Xiao Yue with some curiosity.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yue lightly sipped the ice water in the cup, looking extremely elegant and calm.

"What major?"

"Musical performance, pipa."

"Pipa? Alas! Then you don't know each other. Zhou Kewen sighed.

"What's wrong, with whom?" Xiao Yue was a little curious.

Zhao Zichen on the side heard it, but he thought about it, thinking that he should also know this person.

"Oh, yes. I have a classmate who is also in Chuanyin, and he happens to be in the music performance department, but he is studying vocal music. Zhou Kewen said with some regret.

"Vocal majors? I know a few of them, so let's hear about them. Maybe I do. ”

"He's in his junior year now, and his name is Luqiao."

"Land bridge? The 18th vocal second class? ”

“......”

Zhou Kewen didn't expect that she really knew, but he didn't know if this land bridge was the other land bridge, "It should be...... yes, I don't know what class he's in. ”

"Isn't it short and thin, and the thief is gentle...... Wait a minute. You look a lot like him, but it's not your looks, it's your temperament. He can't be your brother, right? Or are you his brother?

“……”

"What if... Probably... Should... It's just like him. Zhou Kewen touched his nose, remembered his friend when he was a teenager, and smiled bitterly.

"What if~ Lao Wen, listen to what Miss Xiao Yue said, it must be Lao Qiao. I wanted to meet him before I came to Rongcheng, and I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Zhao Zichen said and picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chatting with the little beauty in front of him, and the meat was almost dried up by Zhou Kewen.

"Yes! It's been a long time since I've seen ......."

Zhou Kewen picked up a piece of hairy belly and shook it, a little thoughtful.

"Hurry up, pick it up. Fifteen seconds is enough for the hairy belly, and it won't taste good when you're old like this. Xiao Xin, who had been staring at Zhou Kewen and didn't make much noise, saw this, and hurriedly shouted.

！

was called by her, Zhou Kewen also came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the little hot girl and smiled, picked up the hairy belly and ate it.

Well, it's hard and can't be chewed~

"Hahaha."

Seeing that Zhou Kewen had been chewing, Xiao Xin laughed and walked over with a fast child.

She picked up the hairy belly on Zhou Kewen's table, and then demonstrated: "Look, shabu shabu belly, it's best to go up and down seven times." ”

"One, two, three, four...... Eight. ”

"Well, it's delicious."

？？？

After watching Xiao Xin's demonstration, he actually ate the hairy belly of his table, Zhou Kewen looked at her and was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Good guy, you are here to eat in the name of teaching, right?" ”

"Cut, stingy. Won't I just clip a quick hairy belly? I heard that this meal is a treat for Brother Zichen, Brother Zichen, it's okay for me to eat some hairy belly, right? ”

"It's okay, it's open to eat, it's not enough to order more. Waiter! ”

This "Brother Zichen" made Zhao Zichen's heart bloom, and he directly called the waiter over to add vegetables, "Give me another copy of the buffalo tripe, hand-beaten tribute vegetable meatballs, cooked beef, and fat beef slices." ”

Zhou Kewen: "......"

He has nothing to say, he has a short mouth to eat, he has nothing to say!

"Zhou Kewen, I heard that you were an art student in high school?"

Hearing Xiao Xin's words, Zhou Kewen glared at Zhao Zichen.

You really say everything!

After a while, you told her everything I had in high school?

"Sort of! I didn't learn half of it. ”

"Didn't learn? Why? ”

"No money."

"No money?" Xiao Xin was stunned, but after thinking about it, he also knew the situation, "Indeed!" It's too expensive to learn art~ I spent 30,000 or 40,000 yuan on this art exam, and I don't know if I can pass the exam yet! ”

"Alas!"

Thinking of giving up art, Zhou Kewen still has a lot of regrets, with his achievements at that time, if he goes to art, he will at least be a key art college.

But......

Many considerations made him give up studying art for six years and take the route of a normal life.

……

On the dinner table.

The dishes were eliminated one by one, although Zhou Kewen felt that this hot pot was not very spicy, but the environment was really hot~

Although he had already taken off his coat, a thicker sweatshirt inside, he was faintly sweating.

Zhou Kewen is not afraid of the cold, but he is afraid of this stuffiness!

"If you can't eat spicy, don't eat it~ cut."

Xiao Xin's little mouth behind him began to horn again.

"Who says I can't eat spicy?" After staying in Star City for three years, Zhou Kewen didn't want to be told that he couldn't eat spicy, after all, no matter what he said, he was not spicy~

He picked up a colander, scooped up all the meat and fat sausages in the red oil pan, and ate it in large gulps.

"Cool!"

The taste of fat sausage is simply amazing, smelly and fragrant, and it is a fight with Star City stinky tofu.

"The fat intestine stinks to death, what is there to eat." Xiao Xin said and took the hairy belly and ate it.

Zhou Kewen glanced at it, and not to be outdone, he also picked up his hairy belly and began to shabu, but ...... His technique and heat are a bit problematic, and when you eat it, you either can't chew it or it has no taste~

"TMD, never eat hairy belly again." Zhou Kewen muttered quietly.

"I'll help you."

Behind him, Xiao Yue smiled, stepped forward to help Zhou Kewen carefully wash a piece of hairy belly, and then put it in Zhou Kewen's bowl and motioned him to taste it.

Zhou Kewen, who was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, looked at Xiao Yue and smiled, and then picked up his hairy belly and tasted it.

Well?

The expression on Zhou Kewen's face suddenly became exciting, "This ...... This...... This, this is hairy belly? How do you feel, all you used to eat was rags? ”

Zhao Zichen: "Is it delicious?" ”

"Delicious!"

Looking at the old brother, Zhou Kewen praised with a thumbs up.

"Miss Xiao Yue, I want to try it too. Hey~"

"Okay, I'll help you get one too."

Xiao Yue smiled and helped Zhao Zichen clip a hairy belly and shabu it~

On the other side, Xiao Xin was a little unhappy when he saw this, "Sister, you won't help me, hum." ”

"Okay, I'll help you do it later!" Xiao Yue sighed, looked at her jealous sister and couldn't help but smile.

……

Twelve o'clock at night.

The hot pot restaurant is still crowded, and there is an endless stream of customers, Zhou Kewen and Zhao Zichen also finished the last bite of shrimp slippery and prepared to check out and leave.

Xiao Yue said goodbye to Zhou Kewen with a smile and said, "Zhou Kewen, if you want to go to our school at that time, you can talk to me in advance." At that time, I can also take you around Chuanyin, and by the way, I can also see Senior Brother Luqiao, I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

"Okay, WeChat has been added anyway. I'll contact him when I go back in the evening, if I have time, I'll go to Chuanyin tomorrow to see, and then you can take me to visit your school~"

"Okay, no problem."

The two smiled, and on the other side, Zhao Zichen and Xiao Xin also came back after checking out.

"I ate more than 350 hot pots in one meal, and I can still accept the pain, so I should give you Lao Wen to pick up the wind and wash the dust! Let's go. ”

"Hmm."

Looking at the heartbroken Zhao Zichen, Zhou Kewen held back a smile and packed up his things and got up.

The four of them went out of the hot pot restaurant together, and the weather outside was much cooler than the hot pot restaurant, and the flow of people was much sparser.

Zhao Zichen went to the supermarket to buy a few bottles of water for a few people.

"Thank you."

Xiao Yue and Xiao Xin thanked Zhao Zichen, and their taxi also came.

"Let's go first, see you soon."

"See you soon."

The four of them waved goodbye and left~

In the car, looking at the night of Rongcheng, Zhou Kewen was always thinking about a person......

Land bridge.

Zhao Zichen, a real friend in high school and now has an excellent relationship, can only be said to be a brother tempered by time later, the kind that helps each other at mutual loss.

Lu Qiao, on the other hand, was a friend who had similar interests and views from the beginning of high school, and the relationship between the two was so good that they were rumored to be scandalized in high school......

But.

Since graduating from high school, the two have cut off contact and have been ...... WeChat chat history...... No record yet!

It's a pity to think about it~

——

In the car, Xiao Xin looked at his sister with some curiosity and asked, "Sister, why are you so enthusiastic about that Zhou Kewen!" Usually you don't even talk to boys. ”

Xiao Yue smiled lightly, "Why am I enthusiastic?" I just think it's quite fateful, and it's ...... He has a feeling that is not obnoxious, unlike other boys. ”

“……”

"Sister, you don't like him, do you?"

Xiao Yue knocked on her sister's head, "What do you want?" I'm just a little curious about him~"

"Oooh! That's a little bit of a liking. The book says that when a woman is curious about a man, it is when she is about to fall in love~"

"You...... In the future, read less books and draw your pictures. ”

Xiao Yue looked out the car window and didn't speak again......

~

Got a taxi and got to the hotel.

Zhou Kewen went back to the hotel first, but Zhao Zichen went to the supermarket to buy something again......

Hotel room.

"Here, the jasmine tea you wanted, iced."

"Thank you."

Looking at the buckets of water that Zhao Zichen took, Zhou Kewen smiled, this guy will always be a buffalo, and those two buckets of 1.5 liters of Nongfu Spring will not survive tomorrow night!

When the person came back, Zhou Kewen didn't have to worry about knocking on the door and disturbing himself when Zhao Zichen returned, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower with confidence.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Kewen didn't feel sleepy, and he had already slept enough in the morning.

He looked aside, Zhao Zichen was lying on the bed, turning on the computer to do documents, even if he was on vacation now, some work in state-owned enterprises still couldn't be left behind and needed to be completed!

"Envy!"

"You envy a ghost, and you don't need to go to work." While operating the computer, Zhao Zichen scolded Zhou Kewen with a smile.

"I envy you for going to work! If you don't go to work, it's boring~ Every day you have to think about what to do, where to go, what to do, and what to eat tomorrow. ”

“……”

Zhao Zichen glanced at Zhou Kewen, are you in Versailles?

Zhou Kewen shook his head and smiled bitterly without explaining.

Night~

Zhao Zichen turned off the computer after work, lying on the comfortable big bed blowing the air conditioner, and he couldn't sleep.

"Old Wen, do you remember last summer?"

Zhou Kewen sighed: "That's definitely not?" That trip is really fresh in my memory. Alas! ”

Thinking of the days in Chang'an last year, it is really like a cloud compared to today.

At that time, they had no money~

I can't stay in a hotel when I'm sleepy, so I can only open 15 in an Internet café. The all-night machine, stay up late and lie on the chair to rest.

I don't want to play games, I don't want to watch TV series, and I can't sleep;

If you are hungry, you can't go to a big restaurant, you can only eat three meals at a self-service small hot pot restaurant for 20 yuan per person;

You can't lie down on the way forward, you can only buy the cheapest hard seat of the green train, and it's uncomfortable to sit on~

……

When I talked about the hard days of traveling in the past, now I think it is a joke, laughing and remembering each other, and I compare it with the present.

Zhou Kewen: "So, it's better to work!" Look at it, your kid is financially free now, don't you have money to live in a hotel and eat a big meal when you come out to play? ”

"Well, yes. Or is it better to have money, but if we don't have money, we don't even have this 200 a day?? I can't afford to stay in a hotel~"

"Yes! It's good to have money~ Without money, even if you have a treat, I don't dare to come out on this trip. ”

Zhao Zichen was stunned: "So...... How much money did you bring with you this time? ”

In the dark night, Zhou Kewen looked at him and smiled.

"It's late at night, go to sleep."

"Hmm."

……

As the saying goes:

On an April day, the baby's face - it says it changes.

A few days ago, Rongcheng was still foggy, and the autumn was high and cool, but today the sun is shining, and it instantly returned to the scorching sun and high temperature~

Zhou Kewen, who got up early, washed up and came to the table to look for his clothes, he suddenly remembered what he was worried about yesterday......

Eat the hot pot flavor of hot pot!

"Damn~ I actually forgot, soaked and washed the clothes I wore when I ate hot pot!

！ ”

Looking at one of his favorite sweatshirts, if you don't like him, you won't wear it on the street...... Now it's stained with a little oil, and the smell has produced a disgusting smell after a night of fermentation by blowing the air conditioner.

He picked up his pants and smelled them, it was also a smell, but it was much more than clothes.

"Fortunately, the pants are a little better, and the jacket is changed, but I only have one pair of pants. Looks like it's time to go shopping...... Could it be that eating hot pot is just to make me go to Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li again? ”

“……”

As soon as this idea came out, Zhou Kewen counted his money, and he didn't know how much he had to spend!

~

In a breakfast shop next to the hotel, Zhou Kewen and Zhao Zichen sat and ate breakfast, this shop is called, and the name is concise and clear.

"Hahaha, old Wenwen. If you open a breakfast shop in the future, you can call it directly."

"Hehe, I thank you."

Looking at Zhao Zichen, who was taking a hypoglycemic injection, Zhou Kewen, who wanted to have a good time, didn't say anything.

Eating the store's special sauce meat buns, ten yuan and eight, with two yuan a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, the taste is very good~ Zhou Kewen decided, the breakfast of the past few days was contracted by this store......
