Chapter 1 Free Sauna

The dog days of summer in Beijing are always like a free open-air sauna. Whether you like it or not, you will always be given a free experience.

Chu Shunfeng just came out of the warehouse and was going to have lunch in the town. Although the food in the cafeteria was good, it was a bit difficult for Chu Shunfeng, a vegetarian, to use chopsticks. Braised pork, braised chicken legs, and roasted fish segments were all in the eyes of his colleagues.

It was so delicious that Chu Shunfeng even forgot how long it had been since he had eaten it.

"Brother Chu, wait for me. I don't want to eat in the cafeteria. Come on, get in the car and I'll take you."

Chu Shunfeng looked back and saw that it was his colleague Huo Tian. He couldn't help but smile, "There's no room for you to stand on your bicycle. I can't ride on the wheel. Otherwise, don't ride it either. Let's walk."

There’s still enough time.”

Huo Tian is a newly graduated college student, and it was a coincidence that he came here. Chu Shunfeng recalled that when he just graduated, as long as he could chat with her, the salary was secondary. Chu Shunfeng and Huo Tian were in the same team.

Chu Shunfeng usually doesn't talk much. Huo Tian, ​​a newly graduated college student, brought a lot of new things to Chu Shunfeng.

Huo Tian put the car in the parking space next to it, and the two of them walked towards the town under the scorching sun.

Although it is said to be a town, it is actually similar to an ordinary small village. That is, a road passes through this larger village. Coupled with the support of the local government, many well-known companies have settled nearby, but the food cooked by the so-called restaurants tastes average.

But the price is not much cheaper than in the city.

"Brother Chu, what do you want to eat today? It won't be ramen again. How about I take you to eat Shanxi specialties? The small restaurant in the village cooks quite authentically. There is a large plate of chicken, fried pancakes, and cold dishes. I'm off work

Go often.”

Chu Shunfeng thought that it would be good to have shredded fried pancakes, which was better than eating ramen every day, so Huo Tian led the way and the two of them went straight to the small restaurant.

It was dinner time, and the two of them arrived at the small restaurant. There happened to be an empty table, so they sat down and ordered two portions of fried pancakes, a plate of cold dishes, and a free pot of tea.

The two of them were chatting and eating. There was only a small electric fan in the room. Although it was on the shady side, it could not withstand the scorching heat outside. After a while, the two of them were sweating.

After the meal, Huo Tian took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "Brother Chu, come and have some!"

Chu Shunfeng looked at the cigarettes in front of Huo Tian and knew that Huo Tian was joking with him. Chu Shunfeng vaguely remembered being naughty as a child and taking two puffs when setting off firecrackers. "Look, you have changed your brand again."

Huo Tian chuckled, "That's right, the ones sold in the village are not good to smoke, they feel like fake. The ones bought at home are better to smoke." As he said that, he couldn't help blowing out a smoke ring.

Seeing the smoke rings slowly spreading and fading in the air, and the sultry air now becoming more intense, Chu Shunfeng picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the grease on his mouth.

Huo Tian also raised his neck and drank the rest of the tea. He still had half a cigarette in his hand and stopped smoking. He put it out in the ashtray on the table. He raised his hand and scanned the two-dimensional screen on the wall.

Ma paid the bill quickly. "Boss, I paid and gave it to me along with last night's payment."

The boss was busy in the kitchen and did not come out. He replied through the kitchen curtain: "Okay, I understand. Come back soon!"

On the way back, the sun was still so hot, and the two of them were hiding from the sun under the only shadow of the ginkgo tree on the roadside.
