Chapter 28: Linjiangmen Old Hot Pot
I answered An Lan's phone number and asked her what was going on?
She is a very decisive person, and she doesn't go around the corner, and she said straight to the point: "Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to a meal! How about hot pot?"
I was stunned for a moment before replying, "Didn't you say you're not in the mood?"
"I just don't have the mood to drink, can you drink?"
"I'm afraid you can't drink me." I said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it. I'll meet at a street in Linjiangmen Night Market at 7 o'clock in the evening."
I answered and hung up the phone, but I didn't expect that she was so familiar with these old night city areas.
That’s right, in the city of Chongqing, many people know that hot pot is famous far and wide, and there are many internet celebrity hot pot restaurants, but to be honest, it’s hard to eat.
It is often the inconspicuous fly restaurant, which is the most authentic Chongqing old hotpot.
An hour later, I arrived at a street in Linjiangmen Night Market. After calling An Lan, she told me that she would arrive soon.
So I bought a night market street and waited at the entrance. Although it was not completely dark at this time, neon lights had already lit up in the night market street, which felt like a city.
After smoking a cigarette, I saw An Lan's Maserati coming. She lowered the window and asked me, "Where is a parking space nearby?"
I was naturally familiar with the surroundings, so I got into her car and told her how to get there, and the parking lot was free.
An Lan asked curiously why I was so familiar with me?
I smiled and said, "Did you forget that I used to deliver food? These places have been well-known and can be found with your eyes closed."
An Lan gave me a blank look and said that I was a poor man.
She looks pretty good tonight, and she is still wearing it during the day, but when her hair is laid down, she looks even more charming and charming.
After parked the car, we walked into the night market street together. Anlan attracted the attention of many passers-by along the way, and she seemed to have been accustomed to it.
She asked me again, "Do you know which hot pot here is delicious?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know I hadn't come here to eat, so I asked her for her opinion.
She had never come to eat it before, but she heard that this place was the authentic Chongqing hotpot.
So I said to her, "Let's do it! Since we don't know which one to go, then play a game."
"What game?" She stopped and looked at me in confusion.
"What's your lucky number?"
An Lan frowned slightly: "What lucky number, I don't have it."
"Then you can just say a number."
"Six!" she thought about it.
I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go forward and start counting five hot pot restaurants here, and it's the sixth one."
"Is it so sloppy?"
"Don't you find it fun?"
Although she didn't answer me, she counted it seriously.
We stopped together until the sixth hot pot restaurant, and then went in without thinking.
The waiter came forward enthusiastically and asked us a few people. When we heard that we were talking about the two of them, we seemed a little unhappy, but we still took us to our seats.
Anlan couldn't eat too spicy food, so we just had a slightly spicy food and ordered the dishes and beer.
An Lan looked out the window and saw the scenery here was very good. From the window, it was seen from both sides of the Yangtze River and the famous Qiansimen Bridge.
The night view of Chongqing is called Little Shanghai, which is not a joke, it is so beautiful.
The neon lights outside the window shone in, shining on An Lan's face, making her look even more charming.
I haven't been so moved by a person for a long time, and I can even clearly feel my heartbeat.
After the food was served, we ate, drank and chatted. I asked her, "From your accent, you shouldn't be from Chongqing, are you?"
An Lan looked at me strangely and replied to me, "Why do you think I am not from Chongqing anymore?"
"Your Mandarin is so standard, not like a native."
An Lan smiled faintly again and said, "I am from Chongqing, but I grew up abroad since I was a child and I have only been back not long ago."
"Returned from overseas?"
"That's right!"
As she said that, she raised her hand to put her hair in her ear, then lowered her head to eat the perm dish.
Seeing her as beautiful as a lady, I was really in a daze, because my wife and I have the carefree personality, which is also the standard for Chongqing girls.
But what An Lan showed was the gentle and elegant feeling of the Jiangnan water town, and it was not artificial.
After eating a bite of the dish, she looked up at me and said, "I'm sorry for what happened today!"
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I got the money anyway, right?"
"I know what you are interested in is definitely not money, but you want to gain a foothold in this industry this time, right?"
She was right, and I didn't refute, nodded, poured wine and drank it alone.
She suddenly said to me again: "There will be a chance in the future. You have to hold on. I think you are a very talented person."
I smiled miserably and said, "I am thirty years old, and I have experienced the company's bankruptcy and my wife cheated on me. What courage do you think I have to stick with it?"
"This requires persistence even more! If you give up now, you are a complete loser!"
I smiled and didn't say anything. I drank another glass of wine, and she also drank a glass with me.
He then asked me, "You haven't divorced your wife yet, are you?"
"No, I don't have enough evidence to prove that she cheated. I must catch the adulterer, otherwise I will not be able to get over it."
An Lan is a woman who knows the times very well. She turned to me and said, "Don't say this anymore! Don't you feel bad."
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I've seen it all out."
Then she talked about the house in my hometown and said to me: "Didn't you always want to know how I planned your house in my hometown?"
"Well, do you have any other uses?"
An Lan shook her head and said, "Actually, there isn't. I know you are also hesitant to whether to demolish it, right?"
I was very surprised. How did this woman know what I was thinking?
Seeing my surprised expression, An Lan said again: "You don't have to be surprised, I can see it, so I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds."
"What's the solution?" I asked curiously and expectantly.
"This time, the development plan for your village is actually to build a beautiful countryside. We won the bid not only Aolan International, but also other companies. We are only responsible for the original residential planning and future tourism planning."
I nodded and asked her again, "Then how are you planning my hometown house?"
"Do you have any ideas to make an inn?"
"Inn?!" I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "We don't have any tourism projects in there. Is there any business in this place?"
"No now does not mean there will be no future. Now the government is already vigorously promoting it. Your positioning is a simple countryside... In half a year, your village will undergo earth-shaking changes."
I don’t know why, but I just believe An Lan’s words, and I feel that I believe everything she says.
So he asked her again: "Then will you not be able to get the demolition payment?"
"Yes! Think about it from the perspective of others. In fact, it still needs to be demolished, but it has developed from the original basis to an inn."
After An Lan finished speaking, he paused, and was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he added: "Simply put, the house should still be included in the demolition, but you can use the demolition funds to invest, so that you can protect your hometown?"
