Xia Xiaolan thought to herself, this is only 20 years old, is she being pursued by Xiao Xianrou?
Zhou Cheng's youth reminded Xia Xiaolan that she is only 18 years old now, she has a great youth to enjoy, and Xia Xiaolan can't live with the joy. The big herring is also delicious. The chef in the state-run restaurant is amazing, so shouldn't the waiters be a little arrogant? Thinking of those time-honored shops in later generations, the owner's temper may not be so good, and diners still flock to them.
The fish fillets as thin as cicada's wings were tender but not fishy, ??Xia Xiaolan put down her chopsticks a little regretfully.
Although the fish is delicious, Zhou Cheng said so, she also needs to make a statement.
"Brother Zhou, sit down and talk."
Standing up was too serious, as if she was proposing marriage to her uncle.
"I can hear your sincerity, and I'm also talking about my own thoughts I think you've heard how bad my reputation is. Some things, I still have to solve them by myself. Only when I'm strong can I not be afraid Is the dirty water thrown by others right? I still live with my mother at my uncle¡¯s house. I don¡¯t say this to win your sympathy. I also know that you want to help me. However, I will not consider personal relationship issues for the time being. I hope that I will I can develop a healthy and long-term relationship with an independent attitude, thank you, Brother Zhou."
No matter how tactful the words are, it is also a rejection.
Kang Wei couldn't help shrinking his neck.
He was afraid that Zhou Cheng would knock the table off. Brother Cheng Zi has never been rejected like this since he was a child, right?
Kang Wei didn't wait until Zhou Cheng lifted the table. Zhou Cheng looked at Xia Xiaolan for a while, but actually sat down:
"I know what you mean. We've known each other for a short time. I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be burdened. Just like friends, you can get along as you like. Let's eat fish, the chefs in this restaurant are very skilled! "
Kang Wei's eyeballs almost fell out.
really accepted?
Not angry at all?
Anyway, if Kang Wei was rejected, he would definitely not sit down to eat fish calmly and again!
However, Zhou Cheng and Xia Xiaolan seemed to have opened their mouths, and they both behaved quite naturally. Zhou Cheng is quite generous, and Xia Xiaolan is not shy It is strange to say that Xia Xiaolan is the most arrogant and charming girl Kang Wei has ever seen, but she grew up in the countryside, and she has the heartiness that only a big girl in the capital has. No, she is not the same as the big girl in the capital. Those little girls who talk outside clearly are "you, you", but pretend to be a lady in front of Zhou Cheng. Xia Xiaolan is not like this. She has a bright personality, but she is very polite.
Neither humble nor overbearing.
A word suddenly popped up in Kang Wei's mind.
Is the little village girl humble or overbearing?
He felt like he was about to drink a bowl of fish ball soup!
The two young men made their words clear, and it was difficult for Liu Yong to continue intervening. Anyway, Zhou Cheng won't stay in Anqing County forever, and sooner or later he's going to leave. Liu Yong is delighted to eat fish. A large herring weighing 18 catties, the four of them ate cleanly. Zhou Cheng said he went out to smoke a cigarette halfway, and he had already paid the bill when he came back.
It's embarrassing to replace Liu Yong now.
"It's not a big deal, it doesn't matter whoever invites anyone, the main thing is that the people who eat together are happy!"
Zhou Cheng said it very casually, he really does not lack this little money.
But in this day and age, it is rare for Zhou Cheng to be so generous when buying an egg. The waiters in the restaurant all looked at him secretly, thinking that this man from the capital is really rich, if only she had a date!
But when she saw Xia Xiaolan, the waitress was too embarrassed to say that she was better than Xia Xiaolan.
Then there is no play in robbing others.
?Leaving the hotel, Zhou Cheng asked Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong what they were going to do next, and if they needed him to drive for a ride. Xia Xiaolan shook her head:
"I'm going to buy something, I've delayed you for a day today, so don't send it."
Cars burn oil, and it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Xia Xiaolan has finally adapted to the life of 1983, and she has not yet enjoyed the time of car pick-up and drop-off. Zhou Cheng didn't force it, "Then uncle and Xiaolan, please be careful when you go home. Kang Wei and I will stay in Anqing County for two more days. You can come to the guest house to find us when you go to the city."
Except for calling Liu Yong "uncle", Zhou Cheng was not at all obsessive, and really led Kang Wei and Xia Xiaolan to separate paths.
Liu Yong was smiling, and when the two disappeared, he suddenly lowered his face:
"These two are probably engaged in smuggling, a business that makes money by licking the edge of the knife. It's hard to say when you will lose both money and money. Xiaolan, you must do it too."??Look at the handsome boy, he was deceived by his rhetoric. "
Xia Xiaolan was not too surprised.
Zhou Cheng was wearing a Rolex and was driving a Dadongfeng whose carriage was welded to death by steel bars. This man also carried an indescribable evil spirit. It is not surprising to say that he is a smuggler.
"Uncle, how did you see that?"
Xia Xiaolan is surprised by this point, Liu Yong is a farmer, and earns money by building houses and building pigpens for others, how can he have such vision!
Uncle, are you really a mason? I bought a new bicycle, and I have the confidence to stand up for their mother and daughter Is it enough to rely on the mason's wages?
Liu Yong laughed, and Gu Zuo said to him:
"Your uncle is smart, what are you going to buy? Buy it early, let's go home early."
Xia Xiaolan didn't continue to ask questions on the street, she and Liu Yong went to the department store. Anqing County relies on two large factories to support its economy. The department stores in the county town were originally not big, and there were not many customers at this time. Seeing Xia Xiaolan walking towards the cloth and clothes counter, Liu Yong thought she wanted to make new clothes.
It's okay for a little girl to like to wear new clothes.
Liu Yong can still afford a rice cloth for a few dollars.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaolan walked to the counter, but pointed to the colorful schoolbag with the elephant and asked:
"Comrade, how much is this schoolbag?"
The salesperson was knitting a sweater without raising his head: "10 yuan each, schoolbags from Shanghai stock market are expensive."
"I want this, wrap it up for me!"
The salesperson was finally willing to look at Xia Xiaolan, she didn't care who bought the schoolbag, as long as she could afford it. After Xia Xiaolan paid the money, she said to Liu Yong, "Let's go, Auntie told us to go home early for dinner."
Liu Yong realized later, "Don't you buy something for yourself? You bought the schoolbag for Taotao? It's too expensive I think the canvas one next to it is good. Alas, why buy a child's schoolbag? Your aunt still pays for it. Said to use cloth to sew him one!"
Liu Yong talked about spending money, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
It's not because Xia Xiaolan spent money, but because Xia Xiaolan is sensible and knows that she cares about her little cousin. Brother and sister are blood relatives, and relatives miss each other, and life will get better and better in the future.
Liu Yong looked back at the monotonous cloths on the counter, resisted the urge to shop, and bought it when he was alone.
When the nephew and uncle returned to Qijing Village, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen hadn't returned yet. Liu Yong couldn't stay at home, so he also went to the field to help. Taotao was so happy and crazy with his new schoolbag in his arms, he kept asking: "Sister Xiaolan, is this for me? Is it really for me?"
Xia Xiaolan decided to cook first.
To be honest, the fish meal at noon made her a little full, and now she just needs to do some work to digest it.
She can't handle the heat of the large rural stove. Although she was poor in her previous life, she cooked on the briquette stove when she was a teenager, and then there was a gas stove. She has no experience in using a rural stove¡ªfortunately. She has Taotao, don't look at her little cousin who is only six years old, he often lights the fire and watches the stove for Li Fengmei.
With Taotao's help, Xia Xiaolan steamed the rice in a smaller iron pot. The white radish was cooked under the rice steamer, and the remaining big pot was used for cooking.
Li Fengmei asked someone to give half a pair of pig livers. Xia Xiaolan, who is a test of skill, dare not touch it, but besides pig livers, there are crucian carp, loach and other things at home. Killing loach is a technical job. There is a sticky liquid on the surface of the loach, which is slippery. Wash it with hot salt water before killing itXia Xiaolan was in a hurry, Taotao looked at the slippery loach and laughed, not giving his cousin any face.
After finally cleaning up the loach, Xia Xiaolan cooked it with dried chili and tofu in a pot, covered the pot and slowly simmered it to taste, then went to clean up the crucian carp.
The crucian carp is easy to clean up, pull some shallots behind the house, pinch some Huoxiang leaves, and she can make a Huxiang crucian carp.
When the people working in the fields came back, only the pork liver was left.
"Has Xiaolan cooked all the meals?"
In the Anqing County Guest House, the protagonist of the conversation between Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei was also Xia Xiaolan. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
