Soon, except for a small empty space in front of the table, the rest of the place was filled with food.
Ye Qing took advantage of the barbecue time to immerse herself in the fried noodles and big ribs on the plate.
Ai Liang slowly turned over the barbecue and put the meatballs, vermicelli and the like into the pot to cook.
When Ye Qing finished eating the food in the bowl, she didn't take it anymore. Instead, she picked up the tongs and helped Ai Liang turn the meat slices over.
At first, Ai Liang was worried that the atmosphere at the dinner table would be stiff. After all, she didn't like talking and kept a cold face.
Especially since they are a man and a woman, they may feel embarrassed if they don't say something while eating.
But this worry is unnecessary. From the moment Ye Qing put down her chopsticks, she has been leading the topic. When the previous topic ends, she will soon bring up a new topic.
"By the way, why were you standing there at the entrance of the alley? People were already walking by and you didn't know how to run away. Even if you went up alone, you'd be beaten."
Ye Qing mentioned what happened just now. She took a sip of her drink to moisten her throat and said, "To be honest, I don't recommend that you help that uncle."
This is an unexpected suggestion.
Normal people would usually choose to call the police when they see that scene, especially someone like Ye Qing who exudes kindness. It is hard to imagine why she refused to lend a helping hand to the vendor.
However, Ai Liang's expression did not change much.
He didn't stand at the alley out of righteousness, and he didn't intend to save the vendor.
Seeing that Ai Liang was silent, Ye Qing did not feel embarrassed and went on to say: "When you see a fruit vendor being bullied by gangsters, most people will subconsciously assume that he is a victim, right? I think so.
That’s right.”
Ye Qing supported her head with her right hand and said while flipping the barbecue: "But that guy is not a good person. He was originally a fruit shop owner, and then he got obsessed with gambling for some reason. What happened, look at him
You can guess what he looks like now."
"That scumbag not only gambled away his savings, but also sold his house. He even planned to let his wife accompany him for drinks. Fortunately, his wife escaped with the help of the neighbors, otherwise..."
Ye Qing didn't finish her words, but the fate of that woman could be imagined.
She fixed her gaze on Ai Liang's face, expecting that regret would appear on Ai Liang's face after hearing this, but he remained unmoved and quietly turned over the barbecue.
Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but be curious: "After listening to this, you have nothing to say? You almost got a beating for being a scumbag."
"I just happened to be passing by, took a quick look and got entangled. I had no intention of doing anything brave."
After listening to Ye Qing's statement, Ai Liang replied calmly.
"Well, don't say that. You know people and faces but don't know hearts."
Ye Qing thought Ai Liang was covering up her ignorance of people. She smiled and used herself as an example: "Everyone can make mistakes sometimes. At first, I thought he was pitiful. He had borrowed hundreds of dollars. Knowing this
Afterwards, my intestines were filled with regret, and I wished I could go up and kick him in person."
As she said that, she picked up the scissors and stabbed the meat hard: "You will gain wisdom after you eat it. Just be more careful in the future. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
However, Ai Liang shook his head slightly and said, "I never thought that vendor was a good person from the beginning."
"Uh, why?"
Ye Qing was stunned and asked.
"Those gangsters came to him to collect debts. Few normal people would ask gangsters to borrow money. If they were tricked, they could definitely go to the police to solve the problem."
Ai Liang analyzed calmly, this was the observation method he learned from Xia Qiyuan back then.
"The left foot is disabled and the little finger of the left hand was cut off. This is a small warning given by some casinos to debtor pigs. Moreover, he did not choose to resist when he was beaten. He had a flattering smile on his face. It was obvious that he and
The gangsters know each other very well."
"In addition, one of the gangsters said that he was a loser who had lost his wife and children. Combined with the above speculation, I never regarded him as a good person from the beginning."
"Ah this."
Ye Qing opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
This is also Ai Liang's shortcoming.
Because of his strong abilities, Ai Liang can do almost everything independently without the help of others.
In addition, Ai Liang has never been exposed to normal people since he was a child. As time goes by, he has become a lot weaker in getting along with others.
Politeness is good manners, but the human touch is a bit lacking after all.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away. Ye Qing's confession was originally meant to comfort Ai Liang, but Ai Liang's inference made it difficult to get off the stage.
"You will make it look like I was stupid back then."
She picked up the scissors glumly and cut the ribs into two sections with a click: "But for the sake of barbecue, I forgive you, let's eat."
Ai Liang was speechless for a moment, he just stated his observations smoothly.
Besides...you're not angry at all, are you?
Ye Qing didn't care what Ai Liang thought. With a wave of her hand, she picked up a row of meat slices with her chopsticks and put them on her plate, but she didn't touch the half of Ai Liang's slice.
After the meat was roasted, she immediately started devouring it. Although she ate it quickly, it was not vulgar.
After finishing the meat on the plate, Ye Qing put the unroasted meat slices on the barbecue paper.
The fat in the meat is squeezed out at high temperatures and spreads on the barbecue paper, making a sizzling sound.
The bright red meat slices begin to turn gray-brown as time goes by, exuding an alluring aroma.
Ai Liang's hands almost never stopped during the entire meal.
He kept flipping the barbecue, grilled chicken wings, and fish fillets, occasionally putting a few pieces on his plate, but most of them went into Ye Qing's belly.
"Let me tell you, if you want to maximize these two hours, it's best to choose cooked food and eat it directly. Secondly, it's easier to cook more food and pour it into the pot. Try to choose thin slices for barbecue.
It cooks quickly, look at the chicken wings you got, they are still raw even after roasting them for so long."
While Ye Qing swiped the sushi on the plate, he shared with Ai Liang some self-help tips that he didn't need.
Ai Liang didn't go to the buffet just to feel full, he just wanted to taste it, but he didn't refute, just listened quietly.
Ye Qing was gasping for breath from the hot soup in the beef balls, and she started to fix the things in the hot pot.
…
After Ye Qing stuffed the last small cake into her mouth, she leaned back on her seat and gently stroked her belly. She felt very comfortable eating this meal.
In the past, when she came to the buffet by herself, it was difficult for her to take care of both eating and barbecue at the same time. However, having Ai Liang as a tool for this meal made her enjoy it.
"I'm finally full... Do you want me to get you some sushi? You've been helping with the barbecue and haven't eaten much, right?"
While Ye Qing was eating, she was also quietly observing Ai Liang.
During the entire meal, he only took a few bites of everything and spent the rest of the time grilling meat.
