"What's so noisy?" Li Qing'er asked, raising her voice.
"What about shaving? I can't go to an auction with a shaved beard, right? By the way, where did I just say that?"
"You said you wanted to treat us," Li Qing'er reminded.
Putting down the razor, Shen Yu smiled and said, "Tell me, where to eat."
"You dropped more than 3,000 yuan at Yunhai Restaurant yesterday. The checkout only cost 600 yuan, including the dishes I packed for Sister Yan. I must have invited you today, and it was your money anyway." In the receiver, Li Qing'er said softly while holding back her laughter.
Shen Yu didn't want to waste his time on such a trivial matter, "Okay, then you can invite me, but you must make sure I'm full. I'm so hungry now that I can eat a cow. Tell me where you are, and I'll pick you up in the car and we'll go there directly." ."
"You come to the community to pick me up first, and I will tell you the location when I arrive." Li Qing'er gave up and hung up the phone.
At 6:30, Shen Yu picked up his portable safe and left Lantingju.
Just as he was about to pull down the rolling shutter door, he thought for a while and returned to the store. He took out a charcoal pen and wrote on a piece of red paper: "I have been out shopping for antiques in the past few days. If you need anything, please call 1390XXXXXXX."
Brush some glue on the back of the red paper and stick it on the small blackboard in front of the store.
After locking the security door, he entered the elevator and went directly to the underground parking lot. He opened the trunk and threw the box in. Shen Yu drove the brand new Audi S7 with a total mileage of just over 1,000 kilometers towards the Happy Home Community where Li Qing'er rented a house.
Happy Home was once the most famous community in Chuzhou. Ten years ago, when the average salary in Chuzhou was less than 1,000 yuan, the house price here was 4,000 yuan per square meter.
The community is all elevator rooms from the sixth floor to the top. The shared area is very small, and they are all 136-square-meter golden apartments with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms that are transparent from the north to the south. They were sold out as soon as they were launched, and the current second-hand houses are also the same. A room is hard to find.
When he arrived at the east gate of the community, Shen Yu wanted to drive his car in, but the guard refused to let him in.
I had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road, and then sent Li Qinger a WeChat message asking her to come out on her own.
After waiting boringly for more than ten minutes, Shen Yu looked towards the gate, but there was still no sign of Li Qing'er.
I wanted to make a phone call to urge her, but I thought to myself that women always spend a lot of time putting on makeup and choosing clothes before going out. If they don’t do this well, the urging is in vain, so I simply got out of the car and admired the flowers and plants in the flower bed on the side of the road.< /p>
"Qinan!" I don't know how long it took, but an unusually charming voice sounded behind Shen Yu.
Shen Yu turned around and saw that Li Qing'er was looking at him with a smile as bright as a flower.
Today, Li Qing'er changed her clothes again, a customized light gray women's slim suit.
Li Qing'er is tall and tall. When she wears a suit, she looks cool and elegant at the same time. Coupled with the retro red lip makeup and ponytail that highlight her confidence, she is simply a successful woman in the workplace.
"How's it going? In order to match your suit, I wore it specially." Li Qing'er turned around generously, and her high heels stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a crisp jingle sound.
"It's nice to look at, but if you keep twirling around and looking so pretty, I'm afraid we won't have time to have breakfast." Shen Yu joked while suppressing a smile.
"Disgusting!"
……
Morning market street.
Shen Yu found a narrow parking space and parked the car, then he was pulled by Li Qing'er and walked quickly towards the street.
"I said that if you save some time when putting on makeup, you won't be in such a hurry. Besides, why don't you go to Uncle Dayun's shop to eat? It's more or less taking care of his business."
Li Qing'er didn't look back, "Li Tietou is so honest. Last time I ordered a plate of fried pancakes with shredded pork, but he stupidly brought me a big bowl. It's the kind of big bowl that holds boiled fish. I guess. It’s enough to feed ten people. I’m so embarrassed in public, so don’t mention it.”
"That's why your cousin cares about you."
"There are people here who need my care. Just come with me. Can I still harm you?"
Chuzhou is a city of gourmet food, and this morning market street is just one of them.
The roads in the street are not wide, but the vendors are very disciplined. There is no sewage or leftovers on the streets paved with bluestones. There are also no plastic bags, paper cups, lunch boxes, disposable chopsticks and other food waste.
Yes, it's just the strong aroma of rice emanating from the air.
In front of a small shop with a sign saying "Li Ji Breakfast", Li Qing'er led Shen Yu and opened the door and walked in.
The store is small, less than 30 square meters, but it is very clean, without the greasy feel of other breakfast shops, and it is very cool because the air conditioner is on.
But there are so many people that the small shop that originally only had eight tables now has no vacancies.
Shen Yu looked around and said, "It's full, Qing'er. It seems we have to change our restaurant to eat."
Li Qing'er smiled, pulled Shen Yu and walked deeper into the store. When she reached a small corner, she opened a half curtain and walked in.
There is actually a small private room here, which is only six square meters at most. There is only one dining table in the room. In addition, there is a small desk with a lamp, pen, ink bottle, and several Stacks of books.
Just when Shen Yu was about to ask Li Qing'er if this was a shop owned by an acquaintance, the curtain was lifted outside.
A little girl wearing a floral apron walked in.
The little girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is chubby and cute, especially her big eyes, which are like black gems.
"Sister Qing'er, I have always reserved a table for you." The little girl said with a smile, but her voice was a little hoarse and her face was a little tired.
Li Qing'er came over, took the little girl's hand and asked with great concern, "Xiaorou, what's wrong with your voice? Why am I mute?"
The girl named Xiaorou said with a smile: "The business in the store has been good recently. I get up from five in the morning to close at ten in the evening. Although I am a little tired, I really make money. If we do this every day, our family can make a lot of money." All the money I owe to my relatives has been repaid, including your money, sister Qing'er."
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat on Xiaorou's forehead, Li Qing'er said softly: "Silly girl, I said I gave it to you, there is no need to pay it back."
Xiaorou smiled and said nothing, turned around, looked at Shen Yu, and greeted Shen Yu politely: "Hello, brother, what do you want to eat?"
Shen Yu was analyzing the relationship between the little girl and Li Qing'er. Li Ji had already laid out that it might be Li Qing'er's family, or maybe it was Chineda, but the little girl suddenly said hello to him. Shen Yu was startled at first, but immediately He smiled and said, "What's your breakfast?"
Xiaorou said generously: "There are wontons, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, hand-made noodles, and beef offal soup and beef soup.
"By the way, there are also fried dough sticks, but they are not fried at my house."
"Okay, let's have a small portion of each." Shen Yu returned the other person's kind smile.
