Chapter 9 Chatting
Then Liang Yun asked Chen Dao something about stopping the knife murder that day, asked him about his injuries, asked him why he was here today, asked him if he had been treated like a hero after returning to school, and then the topic unconsciously returned to food.
"Is that barbecue really that good?" Liang Yun asked with wide eyes.
"Actually, the other barbecues in that store are just like that, grilled chicken wings, lamb skewers, grilled shrimp and the like, which are quite average. But the grilled eggplant at that house is a must. I've eaten so much barbecue, but I've never had a better grilled eggplant than that one, not even close. Chen Dao was talking about a barbecue restaurant near their school.
Liang Yun was a little unconvinced: "Roasted eggplant can still roast flowers?" Our school also has a grilled eggplant that is very good, with meat floss or something on top, which is very delicious. ”
Chen Dao shook his finger: "Adding meat floss or something is an evil way, roasting eggplant roasted eggplant, the most important thing is still on the eggplant." The eggplant is roasted to the right temperature, not too old, not too raw, the flavor of the garlic blends well with the eggplant, and the chopsticks are delicate and silky, tsk, and delicious......"
Liang Yun was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Big brother, are you really talking about roasted eggplant?" How can you describe it like a Michelin dinner or a state banquet-level meal? ”
"There is no distinction between high and low food, it only depends on the taste and feeling of eating it." Chen Dao said, "By the way, have you ever seen the Spirit of the Halberd? ”
Liang Yun's eyes lit up: "I've seen it, have you seen it too?" ”
Then naturally, Chen Dao talked about "The Spirit of the Halberd" to "The Little Master of China", then talked about "One Piece", and talked about "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
After chatting about anime, I started to talk about novels again, from Hemingway to Lu Xun, Kafka, Tolstoy, Yu Hua, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liu Cixin, Wang Xiaobo, Haruki Murakami, Keigo Higashino.
From "Alive" to "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", to "Wencheng", to "Autumn Garden", to "Night Submarine".
Then talk about movies, talk about "The Wandering Earth", talk about "I Am Not the God of Medicine", talk about Jia Zhangke, talk about Ning Hao, talk about Wen Muye, talk about suspense movies and TV series, and talk about half of the reasoning script that Liang Yun wrote when he first went to college.
In fact, most of those anime, novels, and movies have never seen Chen Dao.
But in the other world, as long as he is free, "Xiao Qi" will give him all kinds of things.
Phrases such as "You haven't actually watched "One Piece", let me tell you, this animation is very awesome, it talks about ......", "Haven't you watched "Alive"? Alas, there is a high probability that we won't be able to go back anyway, let me tell you what this book is about......", "You haven't read "I Am Not the God of Medicine"? Big brother, don't you usually watch movies? Come on, come on, I'll tell you about ......" and the like, it's too much.
And "Xiao Qi" is very talkative, and often forgets whether she has talked about things she has said, so she talks about it over and over again, forcibly instilling her understanding.
Chen Dao's ears were about to become calloused.
Therefore, even if he has not seen these works, he can know very clearly what these works "look" like, how she views them, and what opinions she has under Liang Yun's perspective and subjective cognition.
And he and "Xiao Qi" have been together day and night for more than 20 years, and he knows too much about her chat rhythm and interests, and he knows very well how to use the information he has to affect her emotions.
In this case, you can imagine what it will be like for Liang Yun who is chatting with Chen Dao.
"Right, right!"
"That's it!"
"That's right!"
"Isn't it!"
"That's how I see it!"
"I'll just say, that's it!"
"Oh, that's right!"
These exclamations kept coming out of Liang Yun's mouth.
The two of them chatted from the afternoon until the sun went down, and the "Green Magic Pond Coffee" drank three cups each, and ate a lot of dim sum, but the conversation was still undiminished.
Liang Yun, in particular, couldn't stop at all.
Chen Dao is simply a perfect communicator for her, and every time she opens a topic, she can scratch her itch just right and stimulate her desire to express.
Then after she gave her opinion, Chen Dao was able to give her an appropriate response and resonance with great accuracy, making her speak very happily, which can be said to be her "inspirer to speak freely".
Obviously, what he said at the beginning was to "interview" Chen Dao, but as they chatted, Liang Yun accounted for more than 80% of what he said, and Chen Dao was more like the one who was "interviewing".
But I have to say that this kind of chat is really very pleasant, and she is a little reluctant to stop.
So after her stomach rumbled twice, Liang Yun turned her head to look at the sky outside the store with some embarrassment, and asked, "Do you have something to do at night?" ”
"No, what, you're going to invite me to dinner?" Chen Dao asked naturally.
"yes, didn't I lose a meal to you before? It's just over tonight! Liang Yun said.
"That's okay, then let's go to the 'old cow's house'." Chen Dao said.
Liang Yun smiled: "What, I'm afraid that I can't afford it, so I want to save money?" ”
Relatively speaking, "Lao Niu's house" is indeed a more cost-effective restaurant, normally speaking, the per capita is about 30~50, even if you eat a little better, a little more, it is difficult for two people to eat more than 200.
Liang Yun said, and didn't wait for Chen Dao to explain, he got up directly and waved his hand: "Follow me." ”
After going out, Liang Yun took Chen Dao on the bus, and after four stops, he walked for more than ten minutes to arrive at his destination - a hot pot restaurant.
"The pot base in this shop is amazing, whether it is a spicy pot base or a clear soup pot base, it is excellent! The most important thing is that the ingredients are fresh and the prices are affordable, which is much more cost-effective than those chain hot pot restaurants! Liang Yun introduced this store in a general way.
The two of them came over and found that there were still six tables in the front line, which also proved from the side that this hot pot restaurant in a bad location or even a remote place did have something.
Although they rushed over hungry, they couldn't eat immediately, and they had to queue up, which was a little unpleasant, but while waiting for the position, the two still chatted about the topic of hot pot, and soon went from which cooking methods are suitable for various different ingredients, to what dishes are most suitable for eating in what season, and then to whether there is any convergence in the dietary tastes of people with the same zodiac sign and genus.
It has even given rise to the bizarre topic of "which ingredient can win the most 'gold medals' in different items between various cooking methods, and whether 'spicy' is considered a 'stimulant' for ingredients".
No matter how Liang Yun started talking, how she thought out of her mind, and how whimsical she was, Chen Dao could catch the words steadily, properly praise her, and even help her straighten out her thoughts and boost her conversation.
After all, Chen Dao has been chatting with "Xiao Qi" in the other world for more than 20 years - although he has never known her real name - but he is too familiar with her various subjective and emotional expressions, and he can catch it any way he talks.
In more earthy terms, as soon as Liang Yun pouted her buttocks, Chen Dao immediately knew what color of poop she would pull.
