After the two of them entered the store, they followed the waiter's instructions and each took a small basket to start picking up vegetables.
There are two rows of large fresh-keeping cabinets in the store for storing vegetables. One cabinet contains meat and meatballs, and the other cabinet contains vegetables and fungi.
There are more people in front of the fresh-keeping cabinet for meat, and fewer for vegetarian dishes.
"I want to eat meat..." Gu Xi stood on tiptoe and looked into the meat preservation cabinet.
Ning Youguang smiled and asked her, "When you get the food later, can you help me get two sausages, a bunch of quail eggs, a bunch of fish tofu, and a crab stick?"
"Of course." Gu Xi nodded, "Do you want anything else?"
"No need." Ning Youguang turned around and walked to the fresh cabinet containing vegetarian dishes.
Gu Xi saw a fat guy leaving with a basket of meat in front of the meat preservation cabinet, and he immediately squeezed past with the basket in hand.
…
When eating Malatang in summer, you must have a drink, iced is best.
Standing in front of the drink freezer, Gu Xi got himself some iced Coke and asked Ning Youguang, "What are you drinking?"
"Yogurt." Ning Youguang replied.
After getting their drinks, the two of them chose a table under the banyan tree and sat down.
Before the Malatang was served, the two of them were drinking drinks while looking around. Ning Youguang saw a small supermarket twenty meters to the right, "I want to eat ice cream."
"Ice cream?" Gu Xi was very surprised, "Didn't you say you can't eat ice cream in the dog days of summer?"
"But I don't want to stick to health care today." Ning Youguang smiled, "I just want to eat ice cream."
"Okay, I'll buy it." Gu Xi stood up, "What flavor do you want to eat?"
"Whatever." Ning Youguang smiled with crooked eyebrows, "It's all fine."
Gu Xi smiled and ran to the small supermarket next to the Malatang shop.
There is a large freezer at the entrance of the small supermarket, filled with colorful ice cream and ice cream.
Gu Xi opened the glass door of the freezer and looked at the wide variety of ice cream inside. He had difficulty choosing for a moment. After looking at it for a long time and not knowing what to buy, he asked the landlady, "Which ice cream is the best?"
The lady boss pointed to the two most expensive ones and said, "Both of them are delicious."
Gu Xi looked at the ice cream she pointed at. One was white peach oolong flavor, and the other was matcha chocolate flavor.
He reached out and took out two of them, "I want them all."
…
"Which one do you want?" Gu Xi handed two ice creams to Ning Youguang.
Ning Youguang asked, "Which one do you want to eat?"
"I can do either." Gu Xi's difficulty in choosing is still there.
"Then I'll eat this." Ning Youguang took the white peach and oolong flavored one from her hand.
"It's delicious." As soon as the ice cream was in his mouth, Ning Youguang gave Gu Xi a thumbs up.
"I think it's delicious too." Gu Xi said, "Apart from being expensive, there's nothing wrong with it."
"How much does one cost?" Ning Youguang asked curiously.
"Twenty-eight pieces." Gu Xi sighed, "I remember when we were in high school, ice cream was only three or four yuan, four or five yuan. Prices have risen too fast, but my promotion and salary increase are far away.
."
"Didn't you just get a salary increase before?" Ning Youguang said with a smile, "Ice cream now costs four or five yuan. Let's eat it next time."
"The CEO's wife only eats popsicles once every ten years. Can I let you eat a five-dollar popsicle?" Gu Xi pretended to be serious, "Of course I have to buy you the most expensive one, otherwise how can I have the honor to see Mr. Shi in the future?"
"If you buy ice cream that is too expensive, you are paying IQ tax. There is no difference at all between the four or five yuan and the forty or fifty yuan. It is still ice cream." Ning Youguang laughed out loud, "The so-called expensive and cheap, but
It's marketing that artificially and painstakingly gives it all kinds of meanings and values, but it's all deception and absurd."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Isn't this the case for all wealthy families? The most expensive and best food should be used, otherwise how can you show your uniqueness?"
Ning Youguang shook his head and laughed, "Some rich people can't tolerate being on an equal footing with ordinary people. They use the same things and have to be different to show their sense of existence, but that's only part of it, isn't it good?
If merchants are willing to make up stories and buyers are willing to believe them, their face game can continue.”
When I was halfway through eating the ice cream, two large bowls of Malatang were served.
…
We drank some drinks, ate ice cream, and finished a bowl of spicy hotpot together.
Both of them were exhausted.
"Let's take a stroll nearby." Ning Youguang suggested.
"I think it's okay." Gu Xi held his stomach and stood up.
She was afraid that once she let go, her belly would swell and she would be unable to see.
The problem is that I just ate so much, and now I feel uncomfortable walking with my stomach full.
"Stop holding it in." Ning Youguang gently tugged on Gu Xi's T-shirt, "It's very loose, you can't tell."
"Huh..." Gu Xi exhaled a long breath, "Their spicy hotpot is so delicious."
"It's indeed delicious." Ning Youguang said, "It's just a bit spicy. You can go back and drink some honey water at night so you don't get acne tomorrow."
"Okay." Gu Xi was very happy eating the meat piece by piece when he was being indulgent. After eating, he started to feel anxious, "Should I eat some more food to reduce dryness?"
"Tomorrow morning, use some fried fruits and vegetables like pear, celery, cucumber, etc. to drink." Ning Youguang said, "When you go home tonight, take out the fruits and vegetables that you want to juice tomorrow morning from the refrigerator, otherwise it will be too cold to squeeze them tomorrow morning.
."
"No problem." Gu Xi said that he was absolutely obedient.
…
"My dad is fifty-nine years old. He goes to the study after work every day to study CAD by himself. I am twenty-nine years old. I lie on the sofa with my feet up and look at my phone every day after get off work." Gu Xi took Ning Youguang on his arm and walked slowly towards Shengguang. Walking to the square, "I didn't feel that I was unmotivated at first, but now that my dad can take orders to do film and television post-production, I suddenly feel that I am quite useless."
"The diligent people of my parents' generation were indeed able to endure hardships." Even her parents, who have already achieved financial freedom, still work very hard every time they get a job and are particularly able to endure hardships.
Ning Youguang never denied this.
"Suddenly I feel so ashamed." Gu Xi lowered his head, feeling a little depressed, "I have always thought that I live very hard, but after carefully observing my father, I found that I am still a bit perfunctory in life."
"Everyone's pursuit of life is different." Ning Youguang smiled, "But your dad is indeed very good."
A man who is nearly sixty years old is still constantly updating his brain and taking care of his father's study. Judging from the results of his study, he is not only very serious, but also learns very methodically.
"I also think my dad is awesome." Gu Xi's face was full of admiration. "When he told me half a year ago that he planned to study film and television post-production, I thought he was just talking about it. I didn't expect that a week later
He found a training school online, and then worked diligently every day to take online classes, submit homework, and unlock new courses... He was so serious about studying. I was only half as serious as him in college, and now I am Dr. Gu." 1314
