As night fell, there was an endless stream of pedestrians walking on the river dam, with the laughter of children and the conversations of adults mixed together.
The small stalls on the roadside became even more lively. Jiang Ning carried the bucket and climbed onto the river dam, passing by the stall selling fish.
The stall owner started to pay more attention to Jiang Ning after he praised him in Haikou.
There was no one in front of his stall at the moment. When the stall owner saw this, he said happily: "Young man, why don't you go fishing? Why don't you go to the river to enjoy the scenery?"
Jiang Ning put the bucket in front of his stall and made a "bang" sound. The black fish swung its tail and the bucket made a "dong-dong" sound.
He asked: "Boss, what's the price of wild snakehead fish?"
The fish stall owner took a quick look and saw that the black fish was as long as a forearm and weighed at least 2 pounds!
His eyes almost popped out of his head, as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was full of disbelief: "Did you catch it?"
Jiang Ning: "I'm lucky. Can I give you a price?"
The fish stall owner rolled his eyes and lowered the price: "10 yuan per catty?"
Jiang Ning picked up the bucket, turned around and left.
"Hey, don't leave!" The fish stall owner quickly persuaded him to stay. Wild snakehead fish can be sold for 30 yuan without any problem.
Jiang Ning was meant to show off, and she wouldn't stop after showing off.
…
Downtown, commercial plaza.
The flow of people is particularly large on weekends, and the price of Evergreen Liquid is high, far exceeding the consumption level of ordinary people. And unlike mobile phone electronic products, it is not an exaggeration to say that Evergreen Liquid is a daily necessities.
But this does not prevent many locals from Yuzhou from watching the fun.
In order to avoid congestion, Evergreen Liquid temporarily set up a small street in the open space outside the store to divert traffic.
All kinds of desserts and delicacies are all priced at 1 yuan, which is a welfare provided by the company to the people of the city, so many people went to take advantage of it.
Before Yan Tianpeng and Zhang Chi arrived at the store, there were not many people watching the excitement. After all, Changqingye's products are not like mobile phones and cars, and they also have the fun of experience. Changqingye has nothing, just in a glass cabinet.
Some bottled liquids were placed.
Yan Tianpeng was just about to enter the store when he saw a familiar figure in the distance, and saw Lu Qiqi coming out of the mall door alone.
Compared to the still-unknown lottery draw, Yan Tianpeng quickly stepped forward and shouted kindly: "Qiqi!"
Lu Qiqi looks like two people in and out of school. She is dressed in a mature coat and has makeup on her face. She does not look like she is sixteen or seventeen years old at all, but looks like she is twenty-six or seventeen.
Lu Qiqi ignored Yan Tianpeng and dealt with him many times. She had already seen through Yan Tianpeng's nature and was too lazy to talk to him.
"Qiqi, I'll treat you to dinner later!" Yan Tianpeng said diligently.
Lu Qiqi's reaction was flat: "Oh? What are you going to eat?"
Before Yan Tianpeng could answer, contempt appeared on her face: "It's so funny, I went out with a boy I met online today, and he couldn't afford the Japanese food there, so he planned to take me to eat for rice and rice."
Zhang Chi despised the vain and powerful Lu Qiqi the most. He said coldly: "Then why don't you take him to eat something good?"
Lu Qiqi: "Hey, you automatically substituted?"
Yan Tianpeng promised: "I will never take you to eat Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles!"
Lu Qiqi said: "Yes, you can't even afford the rice to cross the bridge."
After speaking, she left directly.
When Lu Qiqi disappeared into the crowd, Yan Tianpeng suddenly realized: "Damn, how does she know that I can't afford Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles?"
Zhang Chi urged: "Let's go into the store and have a look. My hands are itchy."
In order to get a chance to win the lottery, Zhang Chi specially prepared a pair of glasses.
Five minutes later, Zhang Chi carried the bag and walked out the door lightly.
Yan Tianpeng bent over, like a dog's legs, and said flatteringly: "Chizi..."
Zhang Chi raised his head, "Huh?"
"Hi, Brother Chi, Brother Chi!" Yan Tianpeng said respectfully and his attitude was "Wow!"
"Chizi, you see, we came up with this idea together... Can you..." He was interrupted mid-sentence by the cry next to him.
In front of the Evergreen Liquid store, a thin little girl was crying and shouted to the middle-aged man next to her: "Dad, I want to buy Evergreen, but my eyes hurt."
Zhang Chi looked carefully and found that this little girl was wearing thick lenses. The lenses were thicker than Chen Qian's. According to Zhang Chi's estimation, they were at least 800 degrees.
However, the middle-aged man was silent. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing an old leather jacket, and his clothes were worth at most two hundred yuan.
Facing his little daughter's begging, as a father, he really couldn't say no.
However, Mu Changqing is too expensive, a bottle costs 2,000 yuan, and the effect lasts for two months, so the total cost for the whole year is 12,000 yuan.
Twelve thousand a year! How can ordinary people afford it?
But as a father, he knew that his youngest daughter had poor eyesight since she was a child. She wore thick glasses at such a young age that he would feel dizzy wearing them.
One day, my little daughter came back from school and cried that she was so sad when she was nicknamed "Little Four Eyes".
Next to the Evergreen Liquid store, a little girl was crying and fussing.
My father was helpless because of money, so he smoked cigarettes sadly.
Zhang Chi listened to the little girl crying.
He suddenly stopped, then, carrying a handbag containing evergreen eyes, he walked towards the father and daughter without hesitation.
Yan Tianpeng was stunned and his expression was shaken. Is he planning to...?
Immediately, he shouted urgently: "Chizi, you are crazy!"
That's a whole bottle of evergreen! It's worth 2,000 yuan! Even if it's sold to scalpers, it's absolutely no problem to sell it for more than 1,500 yuan.
Yan Tianpeng felt terrified and unfamiliar, as if he had met Zhang Chi again. He never expected that Zhang Chi was such a person!
This noble soul made Yan Tianpeng extremely confused.
Finally, Zhang Chi walked step by step in front of the father and daughter.
The little girl saw Zhang Chi holding the Evergreen handbag in his hand, and her crying stopped.
My father was still smoking sadly.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but persuade: "Hello sir, smoking is not allowed in front of the store."
The middle-aged man's heart felt tight and he felt even more uncomfortable.
The little girl cried out.
Yan Tianpeng breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy: 'This is the pool I know!'
…
8:30 pm, Tongtong’s kitchen.
The old-fashioned incandescent lamp emits warm light, which makes people feel very warm in the winter environment.
The pot on the induction cooker was boiling, and a refreshing aroma was wafting from it. The three of them were sitting around the table.
"Let's eat!" Xue Yuantong picked up a piece of beef tenderloin and poured it into the soup pot. When the beef changed color, she quickly took it out and dipped it in the carefully prepared dipping sauce.
One bite, the tender meat and rich spices blend together, making it very satisfying.
"It's delicious!" Xue Yuantong picked another piece of beef and praised: "Uncle Zhang is such a good person!"
Xue Chuchu bit the beef tenderloin and agreed: "Yeah."
As expected of a butcher, the quality of the meat he selected was really good!
She helped with suggestions: "However, you can't bet too frequently, otherwise Uncle Zhang will easily become wary."
Xue Yuantong: "Indeed, step by step."
The two of them were discussing a plan to deceive people, as if they were having a normal conversation.
"Xiao Ben is a better entry point, huh." After Xue Chuchu said several sentences, she realized that Jiang Ning was listening.
She pursed her lips and blamed herself in her heart for being too indulgent at the moment.
Jiang Ning: "Why don't you talk anymore? I think it's good!"
Xue Yuantong happily cooked the blackened fish fillets and beef tenderloin. For these two foods, the timing of rinsing is more important. If they are rinsed for too long, the taste will be affected.
Xue Yuantong's cooking skills are very good, so she must ensure that she eats the most tender and delicious beef slices.
So much so that Jiang Ning took the opportunity to steal half a cup of iced Coke because she was so addicted to the hotpot.
When Xue Yuantong found out, he was furious: "Don't even think about me picking up food for you!"
Jiang Ning didn't care: "I'll rinse it myself."
"What you cook is not as delicious as what I cook!" Xue Yuantong was proud. She decided to improve the quality to occupy an absolute position.
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in spices, tasted it, and said, "I'm not bad either."
Xue Yuantong said in a loud voice: "Huh, it's not me. I am the chef in Yuzhou. I am the best cook in Shabu Shabu!"
Jiang Ning: "I am the best in the whole Hui Province."
Xue Yuantong: "My whole country."
Jiang Ning: "I have the whole world."
Xue Yuantong raised his voice: "The whole universe!"
Xue Chuchu was eating fish fillet beautifully, and it was quite pleasant to watch the childish competition between the two.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning asked: "What about you, Chu Chu? Does your boiled meat taste good?"
Xue Chuchu is naturally not as naive as them. She has been sensible and intelligent since she was a child, and she answered calmly:
"I am the best shabu-shabu maker in this house."
Once you say it, it's remarkable.
Xue Yuantong immediately picked up the small bowl: "Okay, okay, those who can do the hard work, Chu Chu, I will leave the job of shabu-shabu to you tonight."
Xue Chuchu was stunned. She moved her eyes to Jiang Ning and found that he was also holding a small bowl and chopsticks in his hand, as if he was waiting for food.
Jiang Ning and Tongtong urged: "What are you doing standing still, chef? Quickly cook it."
The cozy cabin and delicious food made Xue Chuchu suddenly feel chilled.
