Chapter 22 Eating hot pot
Today, Zhou Zhou was dressed extremely delicately, like a returning overseas Chinese.
He was wearing a khaki windbreaker and his leather shoes were polished and it was obvious that they had been carefully taken care of.
Bai Sitian glanced at it and couldn't help but light up. She smiled and said to Zhou Mi, "Brother Zhou, what do you want to eat today? I'll treat you to a treat."
She was secretly thinking about whether she had enough money. She would go to Brother Fu's place to work part-time tomorrow, and her salary would be paid daily.
In this case, just use the money in hand to treat Zhou Mi to a good meal. After all, Zhou Mi has helped him several times, so he can't be too stingy. Making more friends will help you find more ways to go.
After hearing this, Zhou Mi said: "I can do it, as long as you don't go to a place that's too expensive."
The temperature has been cooling down a bit these past few days. Bai Sitian thought about her previous life, where her family was poor and she rarely had the opportunity to eat in state-owned restaurants in the city.
Why not take this opportunity to experience what those famous restaurants are like.
The most talked-about thing about Shanshui City is undoubtedly its hot pot.
At this moment, Bai Sitian suddenly remembered the famous state-owned hot pot restaurant on Bayi Road - "One Four One". It's not far from here, only a 700-meter walk.
This hotpot restaurant is a time-honored restaurant, founded in 1930. Speaking of its name, there is an interesting origin.
In the early days, there was a hot pot restaurant on Bayi Road called "414". The name was taken from the homophonic pronunciation of "give it a try", and the business was quite booming at that time.
The hot pot restaurant next door was jealous, so they changed the name of the restaurant to "Yi Si Yi", which means "one is one, two is two". It promised to give customers genuine ingredients and never fake them.
Later, it was a public-private partnership, and "141" was classified as state-owned. After being labeled as "state-owned", its value doubled and it once became the representative hot pot restaurant at that time.
At that time, being able to go to the state-owned "141" for a hot pot meal was worth bragging about for a month or two.
It is a pity that the "141" hotpot disappeared from the public eye due to the reconstruction of the Eighth Route Road in the 1990s.
Bai Sitian was yearning for this legendary hot pot restaurant and was ready to try out how delicious it was.
So, she suggested to Zhou Mi: "How about we go have hot pot? Let's go to the state-owned 141 hot pot restaurant." Zhou Mi had always been accommodating to Bai Sitian, so he naturally agreed.
Due to the special geographical situation of Shanshui City, it is not convenient to ride a bicycle, so the two chose to walk. After walking for about 10 minutes, they arrived at their destination.
It was a small building with red tiles on two floors, and the business was booming.
The room was filled with tables, people sat around the table, and steaming hot pots were rolling on the table.
Even the street outside the house has several hot pot tables set up and they are full of diners.
Bai Sitian walked into the room, and the waiter told her to pay first, and then take the order to the window to pick up the food.
She looked at the small blackboard on the wall, where the dishes and prices were written in chalk, but there were many typos on the menu.
她仔细地看了一下价格,鸭肠1.8元、毛肚1.6元、脑花1.8元、代鱼1.8元、腰花1.9元、豆皮0.5元、苕粉0.5元……
At that time, when the average worker's monthly income was only one or two hundred, this kind of consumption was considered high-end.
Bai Sitian carefully ordered a few dishes, and then asked Zhou Mi to order some too.
Zhou Mi said: "I don't understand very well, just order what you like."
So, Bai Sitian thought that men must like to eat meat, so she added a few more meat dishes.
She turned back and asked Zhou Mi, "Do you want to drink?"
Zhou Mi said: “Let’s have two bottles.”
After ordering, I calculated that it ended up costing 35 yuan.
The waiter led Zhou Mi and Bai Sitian to sit down at a hot pot table outside the door, and informed them that due to the busy business in the store, they might need to share a table.
Zhou Mi was from the Imperial Capital. He didn't know what sharing a table meant, so he asked the waiter in confusion.
The waiter explained patiently: "Table sharing means sharing a table with other strangers to eat hot pot. You only need to put your own ingredients into the grid in front of you, so that they will not be confused with others."
Zhou Mi said that he couldn't accept this form. Is it awkward to sit and eat with strangers?
This makes it impossible to chat with Bai Sitian alone.
Just when Zhou Mi was about to leave, he noticed Bai Sitian staring at the hot pot, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she swallowed. So, he decided to stay.
They chose the red soup base, and the waiter quickly brought the hot pot over.
Zhou Mi took the order he just placed and went to the window to get the food. When he came back, Bai Sitian had already prepared the oil dishes and bowls for him.
The two of them put the dishes into the grid in front of themselves in Jiugongge.
"Would you like some?" Zhou Mi opened the beer and asked Bai Sitian while pouring it into his glass.
Bai Si nodded: "I'll drink less." So Zhou Mi poured her half a glass.
He was the first to raise his glass and said, "Thank you for treating me to such a sumptuous meal." Bai Sitian also raised her glass and smiled brightly at him.
Water vapor enveloped her surroundings, creating a somewhat warm atmosphere.
The ingredients in the pot took a while to cook, and the two started chatting.
Zhou Mi lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "To be honest, I have been here for two years, and today is the first time I have tasted the authentic red oil hot pot."
Bai Sitian's eyes widened after hearing this, and she asked in surprise, "Where are you from?"
Zhou Mi looked at her and replied calmly: "I am from the Imperial Capital."
"Wow, the Imperial Capital is so nice, why did you come to Shanshui City? What is it for?" Bai Sitian asked curiously.
Zhou Mi paused for a moment, as if choosing the right words, and finally said: "Actually, I came here to pursue my dream."
"What dreams do you have in Shanshui City?" Bai Sitian asked puzzledly.
Zhou Mi smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not that I have any dreams in this place. It's because I escaped here that I can continue to pursue my dreams."
Bai Sitian frowned and thought about it, but still didn't quite understand.
Zhou Mi looked at her, with some helplessness in his eyes: "My family did not agree with me engaging in art work. So, I participated in the recruitment of Shanshui City TV Station. After I was hired, I came to work here, far away from home. So that I can legitimately continue to pursue my dream.”
Hearing this, Bai Si nodded to express her understanding. She put down the cup in her hand and asked, "Then what is your dream?"
Zhou Mi smiled slightly awkwardly. He always felt that his dream sounded too far-fetched and might be laughed at, so he hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I want to make movies, I want to be a movie director." .”
Bai Sitian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "That's great, I support you."
In her previous life, Bai Sitian studied art and had a deep love for art, especially movies. She knows all kinds of movies, directors' styles and shooting techniques very well.
A warmth surged in Zhou Mi's heart. He originally thought that his dream would be laughed at, but he didn't expect Bai Sitian to be so supportive of him.
This feeling of being understood and accepted made him feel a little more close to Bai Sitian.
Bai Sitian asked another question: "What type of movie do you like best?"
This question is like a key, opening up a careful conversation.
Zhou Mi began to share his film insights endlessly. He talked about the movies he had watched, his favorite directors, and his research and understanding of foreign film styles.
His erudition surprised Bai Sitian.
The man in front of him is usually taciturn and looks gentle. However, when it comes to movies, he seems to be a different person, full of energy and passion.
Bai Sitian thought to herself, it seems that he really loves movies.
Since he loves him so much, then he should try his best to help him, even if it is a favor for Zhou Zhou who has helped her many times. Just give him some appropriate guidance and inspiration.
Bai Sitian asked Zhou Mi tentatively: "If you were asked to make a movie, how would you make it?"
Zhou Mi put down the chopsticks in his hands and began to think about this problem seriously.
After a moment, he replied solemnly: "I want to imitate foreign cutting-edge movies and shoot a domestic cutting-edge movie."
However, Bai Sitian shook her head gently and said in a calm but firm tone: "No, Zhou Mi, you shouldn't think like this."
