It was a cold winter night, and the alley where Lao Liu Barbeque was located was dilapidated and deserted, but the customers came one after another, which showed its reputation. There was a faint sound of silence in the distance, and the lights were bright, and it was another world, Naixiu City
The famous bar street is only three alleys away from each other, and it is a completely different world from this place.
When he was in his second year of high school, Lou Cheng's desk was occupied by a playboy who had given up the college entrance examination. From time to time, he would mention Bar Street in front of him, and talked about taking people out on stage. Therefore, Lou Cheng had been famous for that place for a long time, but every time
When I come here, I only eat barbecue and never take a detour. I always feel that the public security near bars and dance halls must be very poor. It's better to stay away.
Listening to the songs floating in the air and smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Lou Cheng felt hungry for a moment, and his hands almost stretched out of his throat. The more he drank the mineral water, the hungrier he became.
"Hey, Fatty Jiang, have you decided about the class reunion?" He tried his best to return his attention to the chat.
Jiang Fei took a sip of herbal tea and said, "It's too sweet. It's not the same as what I drank in Guangnan. Well, the party is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. We will climb Xiushan and take the Jiudao Turn to Chunjingping Conference Villa."
.”
"Chunjingping Conference Villa? Is it so grand?" Lou Cheng was shocked.
Jiang Fei chuckled and said, "Don't you understand? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there's not much to do there. The price is very low, not much more expensive than going to a farmhouse. Two hundred yuan per person is enough, and you can play table tennis and badminton there.
Tennis, basketball, there are also free KTV, there is also a mahjong room, chess and card room. If you don’t want to play these, just go out to climb a mountain, exercise, breathe fresh air, everyone will be happy, do whatever you have to do, I like to book a room, hehe, it’s nearby
It’s a hot spring hotel, if you want to take a dip, just spend some money.”
"For me, none of this is attractive. It's better for us to sit together, chat all day, reminisce about embarrassing things, and share college experiences." Lou Cheng picked up the tissue next to him and blew his nose.
"Bah! Pretending, I remember you like singing karaoke very much. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, someone was a Maiba several times!" Jiang Fei exposed Lou Cheng's lies without mercy.
Lou Cheng laughed dryly and changed the subject: "How many people are coming this time?"
"Only those who are not in Xiushan will come, and the others have agreed. Haha, I wonder if the couples in the class have split up, and how many of the singles have found a partner?" Jiang Fei said enthusiastically,
I didn't care at all that I was a single for eighteen years.
Lou Cheng admired Jiang Fatty the most. He had a good personality, was not stingy, was able to make jokes, and was not afraid of saying the wrong thing in front of him.
When I was addicted to detective novels, I always wondered if he was just open-minded on the surface, and all the anger was stuffed in his heart. Sooner or later, he would be completely distorted and turn into a cold-blooded killer. I asked Fatty Jiang specifically about his mental journey and found that he
She is simply forgetful, turning around and forgetting about the things she was angry about just now, leading to an enviable life.
Lou Cheng coughed a few times: "Which teachers were invited?"
"Just Lao Wu and Teacher Xin, the others either don't have time or dare not invite them, such as Lao Li." Jiang Fei said with a smile.
Lao Li is the math teacher that Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke complained about. As the director of the Academic Affairs Office, he is quite scary to the students. Lao Wu and Teacher Xin served as the head teacher of Lou Cheng's class respectively, and one taught Chinese.
One teaches chemistry.
"Haha, Old Wu is a martial arts fan. Every time he patrols the class during recess, he always talks to us about martial arts." Lou Cheng was very happy to see this senior class teacher.
At this time, the service girl brought over the first batch of easy-to-grill meat skewers and sprinkled some chopped green onions on top.
Lou Cheng resisted his hunger, picked up his phone and took a photo, but he did not send it to Yan Zheke immediately, but planned to show it off in one go when the highlight came.
"Is it finished?" Jiang Pang asked with a smile.
"Okay, let's eat!" Lou Cheng said without any politeness, reaching for a bunch of pork belly.
The meat skewers at Lao Liu's BBQ were marinated with secret seasonings in advance. The aroma reached the tip of his nose and was indescribably tempting. Lou Cheng finished the skewers in two or three mouthfuls and felt all kinds of wonderful things reverberating in his mouth.
The taste makes people miss the taste that makes people greedy at midnight.
He likes skewers with some fat on them, so that they won’t be dry when grilled. The meat fat will be forced out bit by bit by the flames, making a sizzling sound. The aroma is rich, and it won’t taste too greasy. It will melt in your mouth.
, the mouth is full of oily fragrance, so delicious that you can’t stop mouthing.
After eating more than a dozen skewers in a row, Lou Cheng relieved his hunger a little and had time to chat. He and Jiang Fei chatted about interesting things about their respective schools and the gossips of their high school classmates.
After the first batch was finished, the second batch, which was more difficult to roast, was just delivered, including chicken wings, chicken tips, ribs, etc., and the signature grilled eggplant was also placed on two iron plates.
The grilled eggplant here is completely different from other places, and it is even more different from those in other places such as Songcheng Yanling. It is not supplemented with minced garlic and other things, but after roasting, there is a special process of frying the ingredients, which is heated over high heat.
Stir-fry the secret seasoning and crispy peas in oil, pour it on the roasted eggplant, seep in from the inside out, and melt with the roasted eggplant juice. It has a bit of fish flavor and the taste of the eggplant itself, which is amazing.
Unforgettable and unforgettable.
In Lou Cheng's heart, it is actually the emperor of the barbecue world, better than meat. Yan Zheke, who lives in Jiangnan, has never forgotten this.
Those who like to drink a little wine will love the crispy peas in the ingredients even more. Just put one in and chew for a while, which is enough to drink.
Seeing that the main event was coming, Lou Cheng picked up his phone again, adjusted the background color, took a very appetizing picture, and sent it to Yan Zheke along with the previous photos.
"I feel so satisfied after eating!" he deliberately showed off.
Yan Zheke immediately replied and sent a throwing dog emoji:
"The puppy of friendship is dead!"
The corners of his mouth curled up, a smile appeared unconsciously, and Lou Cheng replied again.
Jiang Fei picked up a piece of eggplant meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Chengzi, you are so passionate about rape. If you catch me, you can introduce us to her. Let's see which beauty from that place has you fascinated.
.”
In fact, you know each other, and you just lamented it... Lou Cheng silently complained, put down his phone, picked up the eggplant meat, dipped it in some juice and said, "Okay, if it succeeds."
When he put the chopsticks into his mouth, the smell that he had missed so much burst out, making him so moved that he immediately took off his chopsticks like flying.
Jiang Fei picked up the herbal tea and said with a smile: "Then I wish you success. When the time comes, if I have a goal, I will have to ask you for your experience. By the way, does my sister-in-law have any best friends or friends? Remember me, brother!"
Sister-in-law, that’s a good title! Lou Cheng secretly praised it, thought about it, and joked:
"You lose weight first..."
Jiang Fei rolled his eyes at him and asked with interest in gossip: "How did we meet? We were in your college class?"
"No, no, we are all in Songda Martial Arts Club." Lou Cheng said the truth, but not the whole truth.
I really want to talk about our first acquaintance, it was when you took me to see the beauties in Class 3!
Before he actually caught up with Yan Zheke, he didn't plan to tell Jiang Fatty and others that they were all high school classmates and knew both sides. It would be embarrassing if he spread the news and failed miserably!
And I believe that Yan Zheke will not like gossip.
"Damn it, this is why you insist on practicing martial arts!" Jiang Fei suddenly realized, as if he had solved the doubts he had not dared to ask just now, "You should not be judged by appearance, Cheng Zi, I never thought you could pay such a high price to not be single.
!”
The two chatted and laughed, eating eggplant and chicken wings. At the end, the grilled fish was served. The method was similar to grilled eggplant, but for some reason, it was always inferior and could not shake the status of grilled eggplant in Lou Cheng's mind.
After eating these and adding some more, Jiang Fei was dumbfounded by Lou Cheng's appetite, and said with some fear: "Chengzi, if I follow you to exercise, will I become so good at eating? How can I lose weight?"
"Do you think I've gained weight?" Lou Cheng took out his wallet and asked to pay.
After finishing this meal, he felt that he was completely alive, his cold symptoms were relieved, and his body was full of strength again.
Jiang Fei looked at it carefully: "No."
"Isn't this the end? What's there to be afraid of!" Lou Cheng expressed confidence.
Seeing the boss coming, Jiang Fei also took out his wallet: "Hey, Chengzi, I'll come, I'll come, I'll pick you up and wash away the dust, how can you give me money?"
"Hey, I recently participated in a martial arts competition and made some extra money, so you don't have to compete with me." Lou Cheng said in a slightly showy manner.
Jiang Fei looked at him in astonishment: "You made money from martial arts competitions? Chengzi, how long have you been practicing martial arts for? I understand, you must have gone to bully elementary school students!"
"Get lost!" Lou Cheng said concisely. He paid for the barbecue, which was less than five hundred in total. Although the portion of each skewer was not as good as other places, or even a little worse, it was still a good deal.
Jiang Fei saw that Lou Cheng was really wealthy, so he didn't rush to pay. He touched his stomach and said, "Let's go for a walk around to digest. Tsk, things in Xiushan are cheap. In Guangnan, there are so many skewers."
, and grilled fish, how can more than four hundred be enough?"
Lou Cheng nodded and solemnly asked the boss when the restaurant would open after the New Year - Lao Liu's BBQ would be on holiday the day after tomorrow for the New Year.
After receiving the news that the store would open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he put his hands in his pockets with satisfaction. He had already ordered a small vacuuming machine and an insulated lunch box, and was waiting for them to arrive after the new year!
The feeling of having money is just different!
Amidst the howling cold wind, the two of them walked in the alley, chatting about various things, walking on the street to eat, and subconsciously avoided the road to the bar street and went in the opposite direction.
Turning around an alley, there was a back street ahead. The street lights were broken and it was dark. Only the lights of the surrounding people seeped through the windows faintly.
"Turn back, you know what you might step on in the dark." Jiang Fei pulled up his down jacket.
Lou Cheng was waiting for an answer when he suddenly saw several figures jumping out in front of him. One was running away desperately, and three were chasing after them with machetes that reflected some light. There was a burst of messy footsteps in the cold and dark alley.
"Damn it, the gangsters will kill people! Let's stay out of the way and don't get into trouble." Jiang Fei shivered in fright.
Lou Cheng didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately pulled Jiang Fei back and leaned to the side. At this moment, the escaping man entered an area with light penetrating around him.
Wang Xu!
It’s Wang Xu!
The person being chased is Wang Xu!
Lou Cheng now has keen senses and sharp eyes. He immediately recognized that the desperate runner with stab wounds and bleeding blood was his childhood friend Wang Xu. He had met him in the community before dinner!
