Chapter 268: Chance Acquaintance
Since there were not many customers in the store, it didn't take long for Lu You and Tang Wan to have a dazzling array of ingredients and seasonings in front of them.
Tang Wan picked up the stainless steel food tong, her eyes wandered back and forth on all kinds of red and bright raw meat, and asked with great interest: "You say, which one do we eat first?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Lu You pondered for a long time, pointed to a plate of beef tongue in front of him, and said, "The beef tongue meat is thick and firm, and it is not easy to cook, you can put it on and roast it first, and then eat the others." ”
"It makes sense, listen to you, come and pour oil."
The two worked together, and Lu You picked up a small glass bottle containing a pale yellow transparent liquid and poured a little on the barbecue plate. When the fragrance of peanut oil was stimulated, Tang Wan spread two thick pieces of beef tongue.
For a while, the oil was full of flowers, and the sound of "zizizi" was endless, followed by the enticing smell of meat.
Tang Wan took a deep breath, revealing an intoxicated look.
"It's this smell of oil smoke, it's really addictive!"
"Eat more if you like."
Lu You held the long wooden chopsticks in his hand, pushed the beef tongue to the edge of the baking tray, let go of the area with the most fire in the middle, and then put a few pieces of beef thin slices with a perfect snowflake pattern.
Under the high temperature, after a while, the blood color on the surface of the beef flakes fades, and in its place, the dullness and aroma of the beef after maturity are replaced.
Lu You changed into his own chopsticks, picked up two slices of beef at one time, dipped them in soy sauce, and then wrapped them in lettuce and handed them to Tang Wan's mouth.
"Here, try the taste."
Tang Wan opened her mouth wide and ate the baby's fist-sized lettuce bun in one bite. As her teeth chewed, the unique flavor of snowflake beef blossomed on the tip of her tongue.
The rich aroma of butter and the sweet and crisp lettuce combine the two diametrically opposed flavors in a contradictory but harmonious form, which brings an extremely wonderful enjoyment to the taste buds.
While making the second lettuce bun, Lu You asked with a smile, "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
Tang Wan swallowed the food in her mouth, and did not return to his question, but said, "Eat too fast, I didn't taste it, feed me another one." ”
"Looks like it's delicious."
Lu You's dipping sauce for beef changed from soy sauce to ground dry powder, picked out a small lettuce leaf, wrapped the beef, and stuffed it into Tang Wan's mouth.
Compared with soy sauce, the flavor of dry noodles is stronger, and even faintly overshadows the taste of the beef itself, which has a feeling of dominance.
"The second one is not good, the taste of the powder is too salty and heavy, I don't even know if I am eating beef, or if it is better dipped in soy sauce."
Lu You picked up the small bowl with the beige viscous liquid, took a small sip, and the faint sweetness and the soft glutinous pumpkin spread in his mouth.
"This pumpkin soup is also okay, it's very sweet, I'm tired of eating meat, just drink two sips."
"Really?"
Tang Wan grabbed the bowl with five fingers like a crane machine, and drank half of it in one go.
"It tastes good, a bit like rice cereal porridge cooked for children."
At that moment, a dull knock on glass sounded in their ears, and the two of them turned their necks in unison to look out the window.
I saw Zhang Zhichuang grinning, waving at them constantly, and there was a tall boy with a gentle temperament and handsome appearance beside him.
Zhang Zhichuang pointed to the empty seat opposite the two and asked, "Brother Lu, can you share a table?" ”
Lu You first looked at Tang Wan, and when he saw her nodding in agreement, he replied, "Okay, you guys come here." ”
A minute later.
"Oh, I'm really sorry Brother Lu, didn't bother you to fall in love with Tang Wan, right?"
Having said that, Zhang Zhichuang still sat down opposite Lu You with a big grin, and there was no trace of shame in his smug smile.
Lu You said funny: "I said I'm sorry, will you turn around and leave?" ”
"Haha!"
Zhang Zhichuang's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said without hesitation: "Of course not!" ”
Lu You pushed the tablet used for ordering in front of Zhang Zhichuang and said, "Order whatever you want, don't be polite to me." ”
"You're in for a treat?"
"Yes, I'm in for a treat."
Then, Lu You's gaze moved to the boy next to him. He still had an impression of this person, after all, they had met in the afternoon, and they had only been separated by less than two hours.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, he's ......"
As soon as Zhang Zhichuang wanted to introduce the two, the boy took the initiative to stand up, stretched out his right hand towards Lu You, and said politely: "I am Zhang Zhichuang's classmate, and I am also his good friend since childhood. My surname is Su, my name is Xinghe, the galaxy of the cosmic galaxy.
Nice to meet you, Lu You. I heard Zhichuang say that you are very good at math and physics, and we have a chance to communicate. ”
Others have already released kindness to themselves, Lu You naturally won't put on a bad face, and he also stood up and shook hands with him politely.
"Nice to meet you, Su Xinghe."
The two of them parted with a touch of their hands and sat back on the couch.
Su Xinghe then looked at Tang Wan, who was silent and turned the cow's tongue on the side, and said, "First time we met, Tang Wan, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
Tang Wan raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Do you still know me?" ”
In case Lu You misunderstood, Zhang Zhichuang immediately interjected and explained: "Not only him, but most of the boys in our school know you."
In September last year, you came to our school to participate in the provincial competition, and someone took a photo of your side face, put it in the school post bar, and directly fried the pot.
Everyone says that they have never seen such a beautiful girl as you, and there is no girl in the school who can compare to you. ”
"That's right."
Tang Wan bowed slightly in understanding. She is no longer surprised that she is photographed by others. There are many people who are beautiful, as long as others don't maliciously scandalize and slander themselves, Tang Wan will not pursue this matter.
Zhang Zhichuang came with an identical meal according to the original menu, then put the tablet aside and asked, "Brother Lu, are you here for a date?" ”
"yes."
Lu You put four pieces of blackened beef tongue on his and Tang Wan's plates, poured a layer of peanut oil on the baking sheet, and spread two large slices of heavy steak.
"We originally planned to go to the snack street, but there were too many people there, just like Line 3 during the rush hour, so we had to go with the flow, and we couldn't help ourselves."
"Hah! There is a picture! I also squeezed through Line 3 once, and it all depends on which station there are many people on and off the train, and I can't move. ”
"What about you?"
Lu You put the big chopsticks on the plate with raw meat and quipped, "Don't tell me that you are also here for a date." ”
Zhang Zhichuang waved his hand and said, "I think too much, I don't engage in Nantong." It was he who had something to buy, and I came over to give advice. ”
While speaking, the waiter served Zhang Zhichuang and Su Xinghe a set of cutlery and four appetizers each.
Zhang Zhichuang grabbed a chopstick of seaweed and bit it crunching. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and turned his head to look at Su Xinghe.
"By the way, didn't you say you don't know what to give to girls? It just so happens that two experienced people are here now, ask them. ”
Lu You shook off the excess powder on the cow's tongue and asked, "Didn't you add Qin Xiyue's VX, and asked her if it was faster?" ”
"Alas!"
Zhang Zhichuang let out a long sigh and said: "I asked, but I don't know why, I didn't see her reply to my message for a long time, did I make her angry?" ”
Lu You recalled Tang Wan's bet between Qin Xiyue and Zhang Zhichuang: If you lose, you will play dead.
So he comforted: "Maybe Qin Xiyue has something to do, and she doesn't have time to reply to the message for the time being." Maybe I'll get back to you in two days. ”
"In two days? How can anyone wait two days to reply to a message? ”
When Zhang Zhichuang was about to go crazy, Su Xinghe slapped his shoulder with a big hand, and asked with a calm expression: "Zhichuang, who is this Qin Xiyue?" Why haven't I heard from you? ”
"Uh......"
Looking at Su Xinghe's pure eyes, Zhang Zhichuang's heart was so weak that his eyes were scurrying around, and he didn't dare to look at him at all.
"There is an opportunity to introduce you to each other. For now, let's solve your problem first. ”
Lu You stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said slowly: "Giving a gift to a girl is a very complicated proposition. If a girl has a crush on you, you just need to pick some things that girls like and send them over, such as lipstick, flowers, jewelry, etc., and you can basically cope with the past. But if the girl doesn't like you, you can give everything for nothing. ”
Su Xinghe tilted his head, his eyes full of deep doubts.
"Do you have to think so much about giving gifts to your sister?"
"Sister, that's much easier."
Lu You's attitude instantly became a lot more casual, and said, "You can give different gifts according to different age groups." Kindergartens send books or dolls, elementary schools send exquisite glass products, and junior high and high schools can buy some special products and deal with them. ”
Su Xinghe held his chin with one hand, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "No." My relationship with her has been a bit stiff lately, and I gave her a gift to lighten the atmosphere between us, not too casually. ”
Lu You looked at the two slices of steak in the baking tray and silently sprinkled pepper and turned them over one by one.
"Why are you stiff? Got into a fight? ”
Su Xinghe shook his head and said distressedly: "I don't know." The day before, there was talking and laughing, and when I got up the next day, I felt that she was deliberately alienating me.
When asked to speak, she was either silent or perfunctory. As soon as I passed her, she deliberately ducked away. I don't know what I did wrong to make her dislike me so much. ”
"It's not necessarily that you're doing something wrong."
As a person who also has an older brother, Tang Wan thinks that she can best understand Su Xinghe's sister's thoughts, and said: "Adolescent girls are shy and sensitive in their hearts. When I was a child, I liked to stick to you because you were old and could give us a sense of security.
When we grow up and realize the differences between men and women, coupled with the increased sense of independence, it is inevitable that we will naturally widen the gap with our older brother. ”
Su Xinghe scratched his head, and the confusion on his face not only did not decrease, but deepened a little.
"Do you girls only realize the difference between men and women at the age of seventeen? It's too late, right? ”
"Your sister is seventeen years old?"
"Well, she's three months away from me."
Now it was Tang Wan's turn to be confused, the human pregnancy cycle is about two hundred and eighty days, which is converted to forty weeks and ten months.
That is to say, excluding the situation of dragon and phoenix fetuses, even if there is no cultivation, the age gap between brothers and sisters will start at least ten months.
Tang Wan asked tentatively, "You guys, aren't you biological?" ”
"We are a reconstituted family, and she is the child brought by the stepmother."
"Oh~"
Tang Wan suddenly realized, and a teasing smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"That's understandable. Needless to say, you go buy her a chain, lipstick, and make sure she is obedient. ”
Su Xinghe frowned, and said in disbelief: "It's that simple? Is it really okay? ”
"Believe me, I'm a woman, and no one understands your sister better than me."
……
An hour later.
The four of them ate and drank to their heart's content and walked outside the barbecue restaurant.
"Let's stop here today."
Lu You looked at Zhang Zhichuang and Su Xinghe, and said with a smile: "When we go back, we will make an appointment when we are free." ”
Su Xinghe also replied with a smile: "Thank you so much today, inviting us to dinner also helped us solve a big problem." ”
The corners of Tang Wan's lips hooked a shallow arc and said, "You're welcome, it's a gesture." ”
"That's right."
Lu You added: "When you give a gift, it's better to add another rose. Not too many, one is enough to adjust the atmosphere. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it, Zhichuang and I will go first, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Seeing the two leave, Lu You took Tang Wan's little hand and said, "Let's go too." It's not early, and I have to go home and pack my bags. ”
"Okay~"
