Armor: I can only summon the general

At Liumen Bookstore, Lao Ma was sitting at the checkout counter, holding a book in his hand and reading through it, while Ah Tu went upstairs to cook.

After these days of exposure, Lao Ma gradually fell in love with reading novels. Although Lao Ma is already at this age, in fact, the blood in his heart has never cooled down, but life forces him to live cautiously.

Today, Lao Ma has found the pure land in his heart and spiritual sustenance in novels. Apart from eating, sleeping and working, he basically spends the rest of his time reading novels.

In the past few days of reading, Lao Ma gradually had a bold idea in his heart. He also wanted to write a novel of his own.

But in his many years of knowledge, at his age, when he is working hard to earn money and support his family, the idea of ​​writing a novel is called not doing his job properly, and he himself is too embarrassed to tell others, so currently he is the only one doing this. You know it yourself.

Lao Ma was flipping through the novel in his hand, but his eyes glanced at the store from time to time. After all, it was working time.

After a while, Lao Ma saw someone walking towards the cashier out of the corner of his eye. He thought it was a customer coming to check out, so he immediately closed the book in his hand, sat in front of the cashier and waited with a QR code scanner. .

When the figure approached, Lao Ma raised his head and saw that it was Qiao Shefei. Looking at the smile on his face, he seemed to have won the lottery.

"Xiao Qiao, what's wrong? What good thing makes you laugh like this?"

Qiao Shefei smiled even brighter when Lao Ma said this.

"Lao Ma, Yuanyuan called me again. She said she wanted to come to my place of work and meet you."

When Lao Ma heard this, he also laughed.

"Oh? Really? It seems that this kid really cares about you. In this case, let Atu cook two more dishes and we can have dinner together in the evening."

"Ah? Isn't this too fast? I just came to take a look..."

Lao Ma looked like someone who had come before and said: "Xiao Qiao, this is not about trying to find a partner, it is about being quick and efficient. Look at me, when I met my wife for the first time, I proposed marriage the next day. , got engaged on the third day, and got married in less than a week, if you ask me, you are already pretty good at it."

Qiao Shefei listened to Lao Ma's words and agreed with him in his heart. Judging from his more than a thousand years of life experience on earth, his current progress is indeed slow enough. Hundreds of years ago, he and Qi Yuanyuan were like this. It was already time to get married.

But then he thought about it, after all, this is not the past, now is a new era. What two people need to pay attention to when they are together is mutual love, not just to live together. Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while.

"Lao Ma, this is a new era after all, and people are different from the past. Is this okay?"

"Hey~" Lao Ma stood up and patted Qiao Shefei's arm, and whispered: "Xiao Qiao, you are also a person who has done great things, how can you be so forward-looking and hesitant? Besides, we are just ordinary people eating It’s just a meal, and we’re not asking her to meet your parents, so there’s nothing to hesitate about. Just listen to me and just do it. Go ahead and let Ah Tu show off his skills and cook two dishes.”

Lao Ma gently pushed Qiao Shefei and waved him to go to the second floor. Qiao Shefei smiled shyly, turned around and walked up to the second floor obediently.

Lao Ma looked at Qiao Shefei's back, shook his head, and sat down slowly. A few days ago, he was still worried about Qiao Shefei's life events. Seeing as how old he was, why didn't he find a partner to get married to?

He was also thinking about how to make Qiao Shefei be more cheerful and go out more. As a result, he got his partner back within a few days, which was good. Today he had to make a good match and try to get the two of them to get married this year. Done.

Ah Tu was cooking on the second floor. He cut the potatoes in his hand into hob pieces with skillful knife skills. There was also cut lamb marinated with seasonings. The first dish today was braised lamb.

Qiao Shefei walked up the stairs, walked slowly to A Tu's side, rolled up his sleeves and helped him wash the vegetables.

"Xiao Qiao, I can do this job alone. I don't need your help. Just go and take it easy."

"Um... Ah Tu, my girlfriend said she wanted to come to our store and have a look. Lao Ma asked her to stay and have a meal together. I...

Ah Tu immediately put down the kitchen knife and turned his head to look at Qiao Shefei.

"Really? Your partner is coming? That's a good thing! In this case, I have to cook two dishes to entertain others. What about that, Xiao Qiao, stop working here and go to the store to buy some fruit drinks or something like that. , I will set up a fruit plate for her, and you can just watch and buy the rest by yourself, go ahead, go ahead..."

As soon as A Tu heard that Qiao Shefei's girlfriend was coming, he immediately became energetic and rolled up his sleeves again, and the movements of his hands also sped up a bit.

Qiao Shefei shook his head helplessly, isn't it because his partner is coming? Is it really that important?

Sighing in his heart, Qiao Shefei still didn't say anything to spoil the fun. He turned around and walked downstairs out of the bookstore. He went to the supermarket and bought a lot of fruit drinks and the like.

After buying all the things, he pushed a trolley to check out. After walking a few steps, he looked up and saw Wuliangye on the supermarket shelf. He felt moved, reached for a bottle and put it on the trolley. .

By the time Qiao Shefei bought everything back, A Tu had stewed the mutton and started to prepare the second dish. When he saw Qiao Shefei coming back, he took out the fruits that Qiao Shefei bought and washed them. and a kitchen knife, and began to show off his superb knife skills.

I saw Ah Tu dancing with the kitchen knife in his hand. Within a few minutes, the ordinary fruits turned into an exquisite fruit plate.

They are not a bar here, so they don’t have plastic disposable fruit forks, but Ah Tu also has a way. He turned around and walked to the table with the fruit plate, picked up the toothpick on the table and inserted it. Although it was a bit inferior, it was better than using chopsticks. The clamp is much stronger.

"Wow! Ah Tu, I didn't expect you to have such a skill? I thought our cooking skills were about the same."

"Hey, what's so strange about this? Some time ago, I met a shady boss who took away the money and ran away. The construction sites were all stopped, and our wages couldn't be paid. I was really hungry and had no choice, so Lao Ma took me with him. I went to work in a bar, he was the cleaner and I was the waiter, and I stayed like this for several months. I learned all these skills at that time."

Ah Tu smiled and explained to Qiao Shefei. Although he had a smile on his face, he didn't look happy. He just couldn't show cowardice, so he used a smile to cover it up.

Qiao Shefei took a deep look at Ah Tu. He could imagine Ah Tu's embarrassment at that time, and this craft was just a means of survival that he had no choice but to do.

The two men looked at each other, and then laughed together. With the appearance of Huach and this bookstore, those days are gone, and now they are on the road to happiness.
