The taste test that Qiao Qiao remembered was a kind of oil and vinegar sauce recommended by the supermarket, which was mixed with a lot of vegetables and then poured with oil and vinegar sauce. Although he thought it was not as delicious as the one at home, several people tried it together.
Bought them all.
Now, he also comes and says: "XX brand oil and vinegar sauce! Brother buy this! This is delicious!"
Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh again and looked at his proud but serious expression in the rearview mirror: "Okay, I'll buy this."
"You also need to buy a pack of toothpicks!" Qiao Qiao ordered: "A small fork is also fine, I use this for tasting."
"Okay." Lu Chuan replied patiently: "Is there any more? Think about it carefully. This is related to whether we, Qiao Qiao, can feed the animals with our own hands. We need to make a careful preparation plan."
Qiao Qiao racked her brains: "Then I'll think about it again."
…
The car drove all the way to the mountain city, and Lu Chuan was driving the whole way. He even said: "This city is very suitable for growing bougainvillea. When it blooms, it blooms in patches, with bright red, rose red, purple red, overwhelming..."
Song Tan nodded: "My mother must like it very much."
Wulan likes all red flowers, and dislikes white the most. Even this spring, she got a lot of cockscomb seeds from someone unknown and tried to sprinkle them all over the flower bed, but Lu Chuan urgently stopped her.
At that time, the big vine rose Florentina had not yet bloomed, so he made a huge promise to prevent the flower bed from being occupied by endless cockscombs - after all, these things look like big cockscombs when they bloom, and when the seeds mature, they
It will fall directly to the ground and take root again.
Although there is no distinction between flowers and plants, the color distribution and shape of Lu Chuan's flower bed are carefully designed.
In the end, a large handful of cockscomb seeds were scattered on both sides of the road to the mountain. Lu Chuan even suggested buying some zinnias or galsang flowers. In the end, the seventh cousin voted down:
"With all the bells and whistles, can't you plant two cowpeas? Every day during Qiao Qiao's live broadcast, people say they are out of stock. If that doesn't work, you can plant some more pumpkins."
Song Tan thought to herself, if she is so good at planting crops, why would she even separate plots on the hillside for large-scale planting? I am afraid that every corner here is occupied by vegetables of all kinds.
Moreover, it is inevitable that outsiders will pass by on the roadside, picking up melons and vines, and there is no way to pursue them.
Why bother?
Finally, he simply said: "Grow mugwort, you can never have too much of it."
In short, when it comes to flowers, everyone in this family has different tastes. But when Florentina, which had been pruned and given water and fertilizer at the beginning of the month, began to bloom, Ulan was instantly conquered.
——The big red roses all over the wall are paired with oily green leaves and flowers. The colors are so saturated that they look like a rich oil painting. Who doesn’t like this?
Finally she came to the conclusion: "The money is better spent wherever it goes."
The implication is that her cockscombs are free of charge, and it is normal if they are a little different.
In short, Qiaoqiao was already lying on the car window looking at this strange city.
"There is a linked panda-themed hotel near the zoo. I booked a room here before. Qiaoqiao, can you call the hotel first and ask if it provides hot meal service?"
"Me?" Qiao Qiao has not had such experience yet. She took out her mobile phone at this moment and asked: "Is it enough to just make a call for this order?"
"Okay," Lu Chuan encouraged him: "Try, we are the ones paying the money, and we are the ones who should be respected. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong. We can communicate again when we go back to the hotel in the evening."
"Come on, let's try it first?"
He looked at the navigation: "There are still 10 kilometers to the Shancheng Zoo. After making the call, we should be almost there."
Since nothing can go wrong, Qiao Qiao is not afraid.
He held his mobile phone and had already made a call:
"Hello, this is Panda Hotel..."
The girl who answered the phone was gentle and attentive. Qiao Qiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said openly: "Hello, my brother has booked a room in the hotel. Can you help heat the food?"
Heating meals?
The front desk was stunned: "Hello, do you need catering services? Our hotel provides simple meals. If you want to taste the specialties of the mountain city, there are also many takeaways nearby..."
"No, no." Qiaoqiao shook her head on the phone: "I brought my own food, can you help heat it? Steam it."
Ah this.
The front desk got stuck.
Although you can encounter any situation in a hotel, since the takeout industry became popular, bringing your own meals to the hotel has almost disappeared.
She hesitated for a moment: "Then at what time do you need this service? I need to contact the catering department first."
Lu Chuan looked at the time: "9:00 pm."
If it is a hotel with formal catering services, the kitchen usually doesn't get off work until about 9:30~10:00 in the evening. But unfortunately, this hotel only prepares set meals in the evening, so——
"I'm sorry, our catering department closes at 8:00 pm. We may not be able to serve you at 9:00..."
Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Chuan while listening to the phone call.
But he said directly: "Tonight, there is also a heating service fee for breakfast tomorrow morning, which is 1,000 yuan."
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then his voice became much louder: "Wait a moment."
Qiao Qiao was already very heartbroken. After hanging up the phone, he shook his head and said, "1,000 yuan is a lot... In fact, I can eat whatever I want, and it's okay to eat cold food."
Because lard is deliberately not added when cooking, it can be eaten cold.
Lu Chuan said warmly: "One thousand yuan is a lot, but it's not that much. Qiaoqiao, you are a working person now. Other working people will choose to please themselves after receiving their wages."
"You have to learn this too."
"You need to make money to make yourself more convenient, comfortable and happy, but if you keep saving money and not spending it, then the money is meaningless."
“Like the shoes on your feet—are they more comfortable than before?”
Qiao Qiao nodded hesitantly.
This pair of shoes was a gift from Lu Chuan. Because they are very comfortable and look good, he likes them very much, so he always cherishes them and wears them. They still look new to this day.
But can Song Tan not afford such a pair of shoes?
No, it's just that the old Song family, from top to bottom, has no concept of using money to serve others.
This year may be better. I am willing to hire others to do the work and no longer do the hard work myself. But the clothes are still old. When Wu Lan buys clothes online, he always buys them very cheaply...
In fact, Kuokou Sosou also spent a lot of money.
It's obvious that meals can be made by any restaurant, and it won't even cost more than a hundred yuan. It's obvious that hotels can also order catering services...but Lu Chuan still has to do this.
It’s not that he has a lot of money, nor does he want to teach Qiao Qiao how to spend money.
But I want him to know that the role of money is not to accumulate, but to use oneself.
For the siblings who now have a net worth of tens of millions, they still need to be exposed to this kind of consumption concept.
