After the sky darkened, three of Lin Fei's employees came here to have dinner together after get off work at a restaurant specializing in fish in Rongcheng East District.
Pour the fresh white soup into the pot and pour it on the hot stones. Suddenly a burst of white smoke rises and a squeaking sound comes out.
The waitress put the lid on the pot, and Chen Peipei sat at the main seat. She watched the waitress walk away before coughing twice and began to speak, "Sister Qin, Bai Xi, I'm treating you tonight. Please open your mouth and eat as soon as possible. But
Don’t be polite to me. After dinner, let’s go to KTV..."
"Chen Peipei, you managed to save some private money and save some money!" Bai Xi, who is thrifty and diligent, reminded her kindly.
"Bai Xi is right! You are about to start school. Spend money lavishly. Don't start school then. All your wages these days have been spent." Qin Shiyu also reminded.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Chen Peipei said with a smile. She didn't say a few words, because the fish would be cooked in just a few minutes. She took the time and said to Qin Shiyu and Bai Xi, "The fish should be cooked by now."
, let’s get started!”
Seeing that the waiter was busy, Qin Shiyu took the initiative to get up and serve soup for everyone.
As the manager of the flower shop, Bai Xi was the first to get the soup. She quickly thanked Qin Shiyu before tasting it.
Although fish is cooked in the pot, the soup is not actually fish soup, but a stock made mainly from pork bones. It is milky white, with green and red peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, and is garnished with a few tomatoes. The color is very
nice.
It tastes slightly spicy and peppery, and the taste alone may be better than many soup dishes.
The fish comes from the Li River. The store collects it from fishermen early in the morning. The fish meat is cut into thin slices. It is very fresh and tender, with almost no spines. It tastes white when cooked. You have to be careful when picking it up. If you use a little force, it will be broken into pieces.
Bai Xi carefully picked up the fish with chopsticks, wrapped it in a dipping dish, blew it into her mouth, and her beautiful eyebrows suddenly raised.
"Bai Xi, how are you?" Chen Peipei looked at Bai Xi and asked with a smile.
"It's delicious." Bai Xi nodded.
"Humph! I have been to several fish restaurants during my freshman year, and this one is the best in my opinion." Chen Peipei said with a proud smile.
After Qin Shiyu helped Chen Peipei and herself make the soup, she also used a slotted spoon to scoop two spoonfuls of fish into the pot, one spoonful in Bai Xi's bowl and one spoonful in Chen Peipei's bowl, and then she sat down and started eating.
"I originally wanted to ask the boss to come out for dinner, but unfortunately he is busy today." Chen Peipei took a sip of soup and said with some regret.
"Working at the Superpower Management Bureau is quite busy..." Bai Xi, who misunderstood Lin Fei, said.
"That's true. Investigators are extremely busy all day long." Chen Peipei responded.
As a former member of the Black Mountain Organization, Qin Shiyu naturally would not join in the discussion of their "natural enemies". She ate silently.
…………
After meal.
Bai Xi, Qin Shiyu and Chen Peipei came to KTV according to tonight's plan.
Chen Peipei ordered some drinks and fruit snacks, and then she ran to the door to set up the lights.
The three girls each opened a bottle of beer. They didn't say they wanted to drink during the meal before, but now! It doesn't hurt to drink some.
Bai Xi seldom sings and is not used to such an environment, so as soon as she enters the door, she sits on the sofa and eats snacks, silently watching Qin Shiyu and Chen Peipei sing.
Before leaving the organization, Qin Shiyu spent all day doing experiments in the laboratory. She had never experienced singing in a KTV. Now that Chen Peipei brought her here to experience it, she fell in love with this entertainment immediately.
Activity.
Although only three people came out to play, the atmosphere in the box quickly became lively. Needless to say, Chen Peipei loves to play.
Qin Shiyu looks very quiet on the surface, which she developed while working in the organization, but her inner character is actually very lively, especially in front of acquaintances, she is very open-minded.
Moreover, Qin Shiyu sings beautifully and has a pleasant voice. After singing a few songs in a row and opening up his voice, he feels like he is gradually getting better.
Chen Peipei and Bai Xi each finished singing a song, and then they both looked at Bai Xi who was sitting and eating.
"Why don't you two sing?"
"Bai Xi, come and sing a song too..." Chen Peipei handed the microphone in her hand to Bai Xi.
"I can't sing." Bai Xi waved her hands quickly.
Chen Peipei thought for a while and said, "Let's order something simpler that everyone can sing, so let's sing together? We are all our own people, so there is no need to be shy. You see, I don't sing well either. I'm not afraid either!"
Bai Xi hesitated for a few moments, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll go choose a song." When Chen Peipei saw Bai Xi agreeing, she immediately ran to the karaoke machine to order a song.
Bai Xi pursed her lips and suddenly became nervous. She twisted her fingers tightly in front of her body, as if she was going to the execution ground.
"Bai Xi, it's okay. This is my first time singing at KTV." Qin Shiyu saw that Bai Xi was a little nervous and said in relief.
"Um."
Chen Peipei selected the song and put it directly on the top. The song she ordered was a medley of songs. It was spliced together with golden lines from many classic songs. It is said to be one of the divine songs in KTV.
"We take turns and each of us sings a piece."
"OK!"
"Um……"
Bai Xi can sing this song, but she just doesn't like singing because she seldom sings and doesn't think she sings well, but she does listen to it a lot.
In addition, singing in KTV and singing outside are two different things. KTV has accompaniment and lyrics, and you can hum a part of many unfamiliar songs along with the melody.
Bai Xi took a deep breath and prepared herself. She hoped that she would behave well and not be embarrassed later.
Chen Peipei was the first to start. She glanced at Bai Xi and sang, "No one is afraid of the dark in a room with the lights off... That night after we broke up, I was neither drunk nor asleep..."
Her voice was extremely gentle. Bai Xi remained silent. Chen Peipei was next, but how should she sing the next verse?
The lines for the next section had already come out, but Bai Xi was embarrassed to find that she couldn't remember how to sing it.
However, Chen Peipei only glanced at her and understood, so she continued singing.
"It's a pity that that person is not me..."
"Have you ever been happier after leaving me..."
The corners of Chen Peipei's mouth gradually opened, and she felt a feeling that she had not had when she sang this song in KTV before. It may be because of the presence of two newcomers, Bai Xi and Qin Shiyu.
After singing three verses in a row, Chen Peipei was really embarrassed to continue to dominate the microphone. In addition, she thought the next verse was easy. If she missed it, Bai Xi, a rookie, might not be able to sing the next verse, so she handed the microphone to Bai Xi.
Xi,
Bai Xi coughed twice quickly and sang, "Hold the earth in your left hand and the sky in your right hand... The palm lines cracked out lightning from all directions... Time was hurriedly converted into years..."
It was indeed simple, but a bit long. Bai Xi had no choice but to finish singing, but her face turned red because her singing voice was dry.
As soon as she finished singing, she quickly handed the wheat to Qin Shiyu, then picked up the watermelon in the fruit plate in front of her and took a quick bite to quickly calm down her nervous mood.
But once there is one, there are two. Next, Bai Xi was pulled in by Chen Peipei and Qin Shiyu in turn to sing a chorus, and gradually let go... The private room was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
…………
At 11:30 p.m., Bai Xi, Qin Shiyu and Chen Peipei walked out of the KTV. At this time, the ground outside was wet. During the few hours the three of them had been singing, it had rained heavily.
Chen Peipei, Qin Shiyu and Bai Xi are all a little unfinished. After all, they only sang for more than three hours. On average, the three of them took 70 minutes each, which is about a dozen songs. For those who love to sing, the music library is just beginning.
Open.
They were talking about having a night out next time. Chen Peipei came close to Bai Xi and asked expectantly, "Bai Xi, was it fun?"
"Yeah." Bai Xi smiled and nodded.
At this time, Qin Shiyu said, "It's already very late. We have to get up early tomorrow to go out and play. Let's go home!"
"Tomorrow we will go swimming at the beach in Qingxi Town. Don't oversleep."
"Bai Xi and I won't oversleep, the main thing is you!" Qin Shiyu said with a smile.
"I'll call you to wake up tomorrow morning." Bai Xi also laughed.
"Don't worry, it's a rare Sunday off. We can go out and play together. I won't oversleep." Chen Peipei paused and said, "I will set the alarm clock when I go to bed tonight."
"That's good."
The three of them walked to the parking lot, and then Qin Shiyu drove Chen Peipei and Bai Xi home in a car she had just bought with a loan.
…………
Bai Xi returned home and took a shower first to wash away the smell of stale cigarettes in the KTV box. Then she lay on the bed and thought about the three people's activities tonight. A happy smile appeared on her face, and then she used
I searched Qingxi Town on my mobile phone.
Qingxi Town is a big fishery town. The scenery seems to be very good from the pictures. As he looked at it, a small head popped up under the quilt on his chest and stared at the screen of his mobile phone without blinking. It made Bai Xi feel itchy.
The little thing under the quilt was a little black cat, which was fostered by her aunt at her home.
"It's almost one o'clock, aren't you still sleeping?" Bai Xi gently rubbed the little black cat's forehead with her index finger. She liked this very much, because the fur on the little black cat's forehead was light, thin and soft.
, it feels very comfortable and warm to the touch.
"Meow..." The little black cat turned back and looked at Bai Xi, with some doubts in its eyes. It meowed from time to time, as if to say to Bai Xi, aren't you still asleep?
Bai Xi rubbed the little black cat's little head and said, "It's very late. Sister, I'm going to bed. You should go back to your den!"
"Meow meow..." The little black cat didn't understand Bai Xi's words, thinking that Bai Xi wanted to play with him, so he stepped lightly on the bulge with his two little feet.
"Naughty." Bai Xi flicked the little black cat's forehead gently, and saw it meow. Then it immediately covered its head with its two little paws, and stared at her with a shocked expression on its cute little face, like
It was as if Bai Xi had done something outrageous to it, which made Bai Xi feel a little confused.
"I have to get up early tomorrow to go out with my friends, and I really want to sleep." Bai Xi opened the quilt, picked up the little black cat lying on her chest, and put it in its den.
"Crack."
Press the switch and the room falls into darkness.
"Meow meow." The little black cat standing in the den called several times to Bai Xi who went to bed. The sound was clear and crisp, but of course there was no response.
In the darkness, the little black cat looked around the room, pondered for a moment, and then lay down.
…………
August 17th, morning.
The ground outside the community was a little moist, and there was fresh air floating in the air. Bai Xi carried a bag, said goodbye to her mother and the little black cat, and went out.
When she arrived at the gate of the community, she stood on the roadside waiting for Qin Shiyu's car. After a while, the car came and parked slowly on the roadside, with Chen Peipei sitting in the passenger seat.
"Good morning! Have you had breakfast?" Bai Xi leaned over and asked.
"Eat!" Chen Peipei waved to Bai Xi, "Get in the car, the traffic jam on the road is a bit severe. I see on the map that many road sections are red and black. Let's try to get to Qingxi before ten o'clock.
town."
Bai Xi was a little surprised, today was Sunday, why was there still a traffic jam on the road? But she didn't say anything, just said "oh", opened the door and sat in the trunk.
"My cousin has prepared a lot of food for us..." Bai Xi looked forward and saw Chen Peipei lifting a large plastic bag filled with food, which seemed to be enough for four or five people for two meals.
"Your cousin bought so many things!" Bai Xi was a little surprised. After all, they didn't stay overnight in Qingxi Town and came back in the evening.
"I asked him to buy less, but he didn't listen..." Chen Peipei said helplessly, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
"Shen Wufeng made some steamed buns. Take them out and try them." Qin Shiyu said suddenly while driving.
"Cousin, the buns he makes are so ugly." Chen Peipei handed a bun to Bai Xi.
After Bai Xi took the buns, she looked at the buns carefully. The appearance was indeed a little worse than those made in specialized bun shops, but they were still very good-looking.
"Sister Qin, when did cousin make it? How did he steam it?"
"He made it after get off work last night." Qin Shiyu said while driving, "I steamed it early this morning. Although it doesn't look good, it still tastes good."
"That's it." Bai Xi felt that the bun in her hand was still a little warm.
"Try it quickly!" Qin Shiyu urged. It seemed that she was very confident in Shen Wufeng's craftsmanship.
"good."
"Um."
Bai Xi took a bite. It was filled with bamboo shoots and minced meat. The skin was thin and the filling was large. It also had a lot of meat. It was no worse than those sold in bun shops.
"Ah... the buns made by my cousin taste really good!" Chen Peipei said in surprise.
"The taste is no worse than the ones from the bun shop." Bai Xi followed.
"What I said is right!" After hearing the two people's comments, Qin Shiyu showed a happy smile on his face.
"Well, when we go to the beach in Qingxi Town this time, why don't you ask Mr. Shen to come out and play with us?" Bai Xi asked while eating steamed buns.
"He! I don't have time today, I have to work overtime at the company!" Qin Shiyu said.
"Well... when my cousin is free next time, we can invite him to go out and play together." Chen Peipei said after swallowing the bun in her mouth.
