"Well, let me think about it, how about we go eat canned beef today? We just happened to participate in a competition, and we can eat some beef to replenish our health. Moreover, I happen to know that there is a small shop here that sells canned beef.
It’s really crispy on the inside and rotten on the outside, so delicious.”
After thinking for a moment, Xie Xie said.
"OK."
After listening to Xie Xie's words, Yao Xuan, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin nodded in agreement. Since Xie Xie recommended him enthusiastically, they naturally had no reason to refuse.
Seeing that the three of them agreed, Xie Xie also walked in front and led the way, leading everyone outside a shop.
This is a small shop. Outside the shop, there is a rectangular stove. On the stove, there are hundreds of small flame eyes. On each flame eye, there is a brown-yellow stove.
crock.
Inside the earthen pot is the stuffed pot beef, which is made from genuine beef without any additives and dozens of carefully prepared secret spices. It is considered a famous snack in Donghai City.
Just as we approached the store, a strong aroma of beef suddenly came from the air, making people swallow their saliva, especially Tang Wulin, whose eyes were shining when he looked at the row of earthen pots in front of him.
Under the leadership of Xie Xie, the four of them walked into the shop and sat down in front of a square table.
"I never imagined that a young man from a rich family like you could still eat at a roadside restaurant!"
At this time, Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie on the shoulder and teased.
"My mother... used to love the braised beef in this store, so I will come here for a while."
After saying this, Xie Xie's mood suddenly became a little low.
"Hey, Xie Xie, you're here? You brought friends here this time, which is really nice. Are you still the same?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a slightly oily apron, slightly stout and looking quite kind, came over and said hello with a smile on his face.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Li."
After listening to the middle-aged uncle's words, Xie Xie's expression quickly returned to normal and he answered with a smile.
"Okay!"
Not long after, four portions of braised beef, four bowls of white rice, and three side dishes were served.
"I wish you all a happy meal! Xie Xie, this is your first time bringing friends here. I will give you these three side dishes as a meeting gift."
While saying with a smile, Uncle Li reached out and then gently touched Xie Xie's head, just like he would his own nephew.
"Well, thank you for meeting me, Uncle Li. Everyone, please eat while it's hot."
Saying thanks? Xie Xie urged.
Looking at Xie Xie at this time, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Tang Wulin's face. You know, Xie Xie is a slight mysophobia, but when faced with the touch of a greasy uncle, he had no intention of evading it.
.
Although he was a little surprised, Tang Wulin quickly opened the lid of the earthen jar. Immediately, a burst of hot steam and mellow aroma hit his face, which made people want to eat.
Looking inside the crock pot, what is inside the crock pot is beef cut into small pieces, dyed dark gold in color, and rich in broth, which looks very delicious.
"I'm gonna start now!"
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Tang Wulin couldn't wait to pick out a piece and put it into his mouth. The next moment, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face:
"Oh my god, it's so delicious, Brother Xuan, you should try it too!"
"Yeah, of course."
While talking, Yao Xuan picked up a piece of beef.
"It's so delicious! Gu Yue, please eat it too."
Tasting the beef in his mouth, Yao Xuan couldn't help but admired that compared to the food in the Donghai College cafeteria, the color, aroma and taste of this canned beef were many times better, and then pushed Gu Yue next to him.
"Okay, I'll try it too. Well, it tastes good!"
"Uncle Li, please give me another twenty portions."
Facing such delicious food, all four cans of beef were quickly wiped out. At this time, Xie Xie also greeted Uncle Li and said that as a roommate, he also knew very well how much Yao Xuan and Tang Wulin eat.
"Twenty more, have you finished eating?"
After listening to Xie Xie's words, Uncle Li had a look of surprise on his face and asked.
"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Li, there are two big eaters here!"
After listening to Uncle Li's words, Xie Xie laughed and said.
"Okay, then I'll prepare it for you."
After saying that, Uncle Li walked out.
"Thanks."
After listening to Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin said.
"what?"
With a trace of doubt, Xie Xie raised his head and asked.
"No, I mean the thank you. Your name is so easy to misunderstand!"
With a look of helplessness on his face, Tang Wulin explained.
"It is indeed a bit easy to misunderstand, but there is a profound meaning behind it. This name was given to me by my mother."
"When I was young, I was laughed at because of my name. I asked her angrily, and she told me that she gave me such a name out of gratitude for that encounter."
"I remember that she said at the time that the happiest thing in her life was meeting her father at that time, but..."
After saying this, Xie Xie's face suddenly turned a little pale, and there were slight tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
"Could it be that your mother...?"
After listening to Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin seemed to have guessed something. He held Xie Xie's hand and asked in a low voice.
"Well, she has passed away... I still remember that night, my mother was dying, but my father was still running away. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see her father."
"But... that night, he still didn't come back. In the end, my mother passed away with regret. Every time I think about this, I hate my father so much!"
"Actually, I also hate my name a little. Once I entered a rich family, I felt like the sea. If it hadn't been for that encounter, my mother might not have experienced that kind of experience... However, this is also one of the relics left by my mother.
one......"
After saying this, some emotions in Xie Xie's heart seemed to be released. Tears flowed out uncontrollably, and then he lay weakly on the table.
After three months of fighting together, it was obvious that Xie Xie had fully accepted Tang Wulin and Yao Xuan. Even Gu Yue, although Xie Xie often quarreled with her, still regarded her as a teammate who could be trusted to support them.
Because of this, when he came here, he finally got rid of the cold and arrogant disguise of himself and confided his true feelings to others.
"This child is so pitiful, alas! However, sometimes it is a good thing to be able to vent your inner depression! You guys must be his friends. From now on, you should take good care of him and help him!"
At this time, Uncle Li also walked in with a new can of beef, looked at Xie Xie on the table, sighed and said.
"Stop crying, everything will be fine."
Patting Xie Xie's shoulders, Yao Xuan and Tang Wulin comforted him. On the side, looking at Xie Xie crying, Gu Yue also had something more in his eyes, which was for [emotion] and [love].
Cognition.
