Chapter 29: Barbecue
The Xitucheng Road in Chu Ran's mouth is talking about the Xitucheng Road auxiliary road next to the west gate of the Film Academy.
Originally, there was only one barbecue restaurant here, and the main customers were mainly Nortel students, which was the first place for many Nortel students to think of treating themselves after earning a sum of extra money. Later, because of its large number of strings, not only the students of the North Division and the North Post on the Jimen Bridge, but also the students of the Qingbei in the north would come over to patronize. Later, other barbecue restaurants opened one after another, and the entire auxiliary road became a well-known stall street.
Every night, you will see a row of food stalls, skewers snorting on the fierce fire, oil smoke, and charcoal fire. In front of the building and behind the building, inside and outside the alley, the crowd is bustling. Riding the cool breeze blowing from Xitucheng Road, drinking Yanjing skewers, the long night was wrapped in the thick of green smoke and meat.
It's just that this street was also banned in the urban renewal in 2013, which became a regret in the hearts of many Nortel graduates.
After receiving Chu Ran's call, it also aroused the gluttony in Zhou Cheng's stomach. Chen Li drove home to pick up Qian Lele first, and Zhou Cheng decided to take a taxi himself.
Choosing to take a taxi is not that Zhou Cheng is rich now, the cash in his pocket does not add up to two hundred yuan, which is still the private money that he turned out of a few books. The reason why he was in such a hurry was because of the unforgettable fireworks in Zhou Cheng's memory.
After Zhou Cheng got out of the car, he found that the business on this street was better than he remembered, and the nearly ten-meter-wide auxiliary road outside the faΓ§ade was full of tables and people who came to have supper. Some of them still wear sunglasses on the night, they should be stars who graduated from Nortel and are already famous.
"Boss, a few people ......"
The street was full of people, and the roadside was full of soliciting guys, and when they saw Zhou Cheng coming, several eldest sisters hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"There's already a place ......"
Zhou Cheng shook his phone, then called and confirmed the location with Chu Ran, only to see a local restaurant called "Northeast People's Family" at the back of a row of food stalls.
This restaurant is also a restaurant that several people used to come to, and the owner is a native of Dalian, and the best thing is roasted eggplant, roasted leeks and lamb kidney. The mantra of several people was that they had been too empty recently, so let's go to the "Northeast People's Home" to make up for it.
Chu Ran should have just arrived, and there were a few people with him, who were standing at the intersection like a soliciting buddy at this time, and when he saw Zhou Cheng, he hurriedly waved to him.
Zhou Cheng walked in and took a closer look, in addition to Chu Ran, there were two other people, Wu Xiaotian and Tao Ze, two of Zhou Cheng's former roommates in the same dormitory.
Seeing this guy coming up, Zhou Chengcheng took a step back and distanced himself: "What's the situation today?" Let's explain in advance, brother, I only have a hundred yuan in my pocket, if I am asked to pay, I will turn around and leave. β
"You don't need to be treated." Chu Ran smiled proudly: "Today Li Yan is the east."
"Li Yan has a treat? Is this kid really rich? Zhou Cheng was very surprised.
During Zhou Cheng's four years at Nortel, except for Chu Ran, the relationship with the four people in the dormitory was relatively close.
Among the several people, Chu Ran's family is the most prosperous.
When he first entered the school, he said that his family raised cattle. Seeing that he is usually relatively simple, everyone thinks that his family is a herdsman and has always taken good care of him. Who knew that this kid was wilted, until the first semester of the Spring Festival his father drove a Range Rover to pick him up, everyone knew that the cattle in his mouth were tens of thousands, and his family in addition to his own ranch, there is also a fresh milk processing enterprise, supplying most of the fresh milk in Ningxi City. I didn't graduate from college
Wu Xiaotian is a native of Jinmen, his parents do a small business, and his family background is relatively solid. And Tao Ze's home is in Humen, Guangdong Province, according to this kid's boast that the pit dug by Lin Zexu when he was in the smoke was his family's land. The large-scale development of the Pearl River Delta has divided several houses for his family, and it also belongs to the lord who does not worry about food and drink. Tao Ze also gave full play to the characteristics of Guangdong people who are delicious and dare to eat, and after living in Yanjing for several years, he knows the food of various regions of Yanjing well.
Only Li Yan from Gan Province has the worst family background, except that he has a pair of younger siblings who are in high school, plus a grandmother who is almost 80 years old who is sick in bed all the year round, and the family income depends on his parents to farm and work.
Since his sophomore year, Li Yan has been taking over the work of gunmen everywhere, not only earning tuition and living expenses for himself, but also paying for his younger siblings to go to high school. Several people in the dormitory admired it very much, so usually everyone in the dormitory didn't let him pay, but Li Yan kept it in mind, not only did the dormitory sanitation cover all, but also helped a few people fetch water and bring food.
After graduating from university, Zhou Cheng changed careers and became an unpopular agent, and Wu Xiaotian and Tao Ze chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination to continue their studies. And Chu Ran is the wildest, he and Chen Li's award-winning short films have brought him a certain degree of popularity in the circle, and he has stayed in two crews successively, and he has also obtained the final right of signature. Only Li Yan is contacting the crew everywhere and continues to be his gunman.
After the Spring Festival, several people also got together twice, only to know that this kid had worked in five crews for more than half a year, which made several people admire.
After a few words of greeting, Zhou Cheng asked Wu Xiaotian and the two to go to Li Yan first, and he and Chu Ran were ready to wait for Chen Li: "Chu Ran, you come to pay tonight, Li Yan probably won't be able to save a few dollars." β
"I thought you'd pay for it. I didn't expect to let Chu Ye break the bill in the end. Chu Ran looked at Zhou Cheng's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing.
"You kid is a rich man, don't kill whoever you slaughter." Zhou Cheng first punched him on the shoulder to signal punishment, and then whispered to Chu Ran about today's signing with Renyi: "There are benefits for you......"
"Really?" Chu Ran showed a look of disbelief: "I didn't expect that Chu Ye would actually have a day to rely on you." β
Zhou Cheng smiled proudly: "If you don't want this opportunity, I will give it to Li Yan and them." β
"No, this chance is definitely mine." Hearing Zhou Cheng's ridicule, Chu Ran was a little anxious, and continued to add weight: "Brother Cheng, Master Cheng, I'll pay tonight, let alone eat barbecue, you are Kempinski, brother in heaven and earth, don't frown." β
"Oh, it's still heaven and earth, take me one." As soon as Chu Ran's words fell, a woman's voice came from behind.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law is good. What heaven and earth? Did you say that? Zhou Cheng and the two turned their heads, and saw Qian Lele, who was holding Chen Li, with his eyebrows upside down, looking at a few people, only to see Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran shaking their heads respectively, Chu Ran's brain turned fast, and said to Qian Lele: "Sister-in-law, we are talking about going to work every day......
"Yes, it's every day. For the next week, we will have to stay at the Renyi Guest House every day to work, and we can't accompany you. Chen Li came to his senses in an instant, and immediately turned his original expression of yearning into regret, but he was still practiced by Qian Lele on his waist, making his original smiling face wrinkle in an instant.
"Zhou Cheng, Chu Ran, hello." Qian Lele didn't care about Chen Li's expression at all, and greeted the two with a smile: "I'll go back to Star City in two days, help my sister-in-law keep an eye on Lao Chen during this time, and my sister-in-law will definitely be grateful at that time." β
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you will complete the task." Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran didn't care about Chen Li's bitter gourd face and were loyal to Qian Lele.
"Okay, let's go in as soon as possible, don't let Li Yan and them wait for a long time." Chen Li rubbed it for a while, the pain in his waist caused a lot, and suddenly felt that Qian Lele could not come to Yanjing, and it was good for the two to continue to live separately.
The business of the "Northeast People" is very good, and the boss has set up five or six tables at the door, all of which are full, and carefully identified most of them as Nortel's teachers and students. is different from Zhou Cheng, who is unknown in school, Chu Ran and Chen Li are both popular figures, and they met many acquaintances to greet them along the way.
"Brother Li, Chu Ran, Orange, you are here, sit here." Li Yan and the others chose a large platform with two rectangular tables, which was more than enough for seven people, and when they saw a few people coming, the three people who were originally sitting and chatting all stood up.
"Brother Li, this is my sister-in-law......"
"Sister-in-law, I'm Wu Xiaotian, you can call me Xiaotian......"
"I'm Tao Ze,......" Tao Ze's nickname is the same as Zhou Cheng's, it is all Chu Ran.
"Sister-in-law, what do you eat? I'll help you get ......."
"A few of you get up, this is my wife, I don't need you to be courteous......" Chen Li stretched out his hand and blasted away a few people, and said to Qian Lele: "Lele, their grilled fish is good, I'll help you order a ......"
