Chapter 18

Nearly the end of the new year, almost all the restaurants on the street of Fuzhong have been closed. Only a few restaurants opened by local people are still operating tepidly, but they have to close their doors and go home after a few days. New Year's Eve.

Jiang Xuan had already eaten all the nearby restaurants, and ranked each restaurant in his mind, which one could not go again if he stepped on the thunder, and which one could eat three meals a day.

So when Cheng Lang asked him if there was a reservation for where to eat, Jiang Xuan sent him the location of the street corner beef rice bowl without saying a word.

The owner of this restaurant is not a local, and every year when the Chinese New Year comes, the restaurant closes a few days earlier. This year, I don’t know why when Jiang Xuan passed by their door, he found the door was still open.Before asking Cheng Hong to come out for dinner, he went out for a walk in advance, looked at all the restaurants that were still open, and found that he could only eat donburi.In his mind, donburi is not as good as the big plate chicken where the wall is falling down and the table is always greasy, but it is already at the top of the rest of the shops.

As for making an appointment in advance, what is that, I have never heard of it.

But he thought that Cheng Hong was someone who was used to drinking red wine and eating steak, so he was a little worried that he would not be used to it.

Pushing open the store door, the Lucky Cat on the counter at the door yelled "Welcome", and at the same time there was a louder "Doublekill" sound. Jiang Xuan turned his head and glanced at the lucky cat. One hand was shaking and shaking at him, and the fat shopkeeper behind the counter looked up and happened to meet Jiang Xuan.

"Happy New Year, what would you like to eat?"

Next to the counter is a small kitchen, surrounded by a circle of transparent glass. The owner's wife knocked on the window, and she said the words.

"Happy New Year," Jiang Xuan said, "There is still one person who hasn't arrived, so I'll order later."

"Okay," the owner was very enthusiastic, and picked up his mobile phone to continue playing games. "Sit wherever you want, you can rely on the heater, or sit against the wall if you feel hot."

Jiang Xuan looked away, walked into the store, and sat down in a corner by the heating.

As soon as he sat down, the radiator hanging on the wall around him was very scorching hot. There was no air conditioner in the store, and he relied on the radiator for heating in winter. Jiang Xuan didn't expect it to be so hot, and he couldn't sit next to the radiator. But after thinking about it, he still didn't change his seat. He just frowned slightly and unzipped the down jacket, then pulled the two sleeves back.

It will take a while for Cheng Lang to come over from home, but Jiang Xuan is not in a hurry and opens the animal restaurant.

From time to time, the voice of the shopkeeper playing the game came from behind him. He listened to it one after another. Most of the content was that the enemy had taken so-and-so's head.

It won't affect the deliciousness of the donburi.Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

Not long after, the sound of the lucky cat came from the door of the store.

"welcome!"

Jiang Thrush hooked the corners of his mouth, looked back, and when he saw who was coming, the faint smile froze on his lips.

"Boss, take the beef bowl away." The little girl standing in front of the counter said.

No.

After a while.

"welcome!"

Jiang Xuan turned his head, and then turned back blankly.

"welcome!"

Jiang Xuan turned his head again, thinking that if it was not this time, then he should not eat it.

"Tsk." No.

When he came, there were no customers in the store, but since he sat here, four or five people have come, and three of them are packed, and now there is a young girl sitting next to him against the wall. .

In fact, he can sit on the opposite side, so that he can see the person coming in the door when he looks up. He just needs to stand up, walk to the opposite side, pull out the chair, and sit down.

For such a simple action, Jiang Xuan thought of every detail, but he still sat in the original position, with his back to the door, and he didn't want to move a step.

Before Cheng Lang entered the store, he saw Jiang Xuan sitting inside against the heater.

"welcome!"

The beckoning cat barked suddenly. He hadn't heard such a sound for a long time, and he didn't react for a while, so he glanced at it blankly.

"Happy New Year! What do you want to eat, the menu is above your head." The fat shopkeeper greeted enthusiastically.

Cheng Lang turned to look at Jiang Xuan's back, and pointed, "I'm with him."

He purposely raised his voice, but the figure from behind remained motionless, maybe he didn't hear it?

"Oh, good," the fat shop owner took a menu from the cash register and gave it to him, "Then you take a look first, I'll go over and order for you later."

"Thank you." Cheng Hong raised his voice again.

Jiang Thrush sat firmly, with a whirl on the top of his head, and Cheng Hong suspected that he might have fallen asleep.

"Jiang Thrush?" He called after approaching.

"..."

Knock on the table, "Big steamed bun?"

Jiang Xuan raised his head, with an unpredictable expression, and raised an eyebrow, "What did you say?"

"Tsk, didn't you talk when you heard that?" Cheng Yan smiled and sat opposite, "Aren't you Xiao Mantou's brother, you will know when I come in, right?"

"know."

"..." Cheng Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he lowered his head to look at the menu, "I haven't eaten rice bowls yet, do you have any recommendations? I guess you have eaten all the places nearby, right? "

Jiang Xuan's face was a little red from the heating, and finally he couldn't stand it any longer. While taking off his down jacket, he said: "Chicken, beef, pork, mutton, double, triple..."

"Stop," Cheng Yan looked at him unbearably, "One is enough, I can't eat that much."

Jiang Xuan thought about it seriously, "Then the beef, their signature set meal, as well as hot spring egg pickles and miso."

"Okay, what about you?"

Jiang Xuan: "I'll eat whatever I want."

After saying that, he raised his hand to beckon the owner, first ordered Cheng Hong's, and then pointed to a color picture on the menu, "I want a three-combo set meal, beef, mutton and chicken, and ten fried skewers."

He raised his head and asked Cheng Yan: "Arctic Ocean Happy Water Sprite Orange Beer... Just beer, what do you drink?"

Cheng Yan shook his head and asked the shopkeeper, "Is there any hot water? Bring me a cup of hot water."

When the shop owner left, Jiang Xuan looked up at him and found that Cheng Hong was still wearing a down jacket when he entered the shop, "Is it cold?"

"It's okay," Cheng Yan shook his head, and stretched out his hand to touch the heater. Jiang Xuan thought he would be scalded and retracted his hand, but he didn't, and covered his entire palm on it, "This room is quite warm. Totally two temperatures."

"Indeed, I took off my long johns on purpose, but the temperature still exceeded my expectations."

Cheng Lang: "Xueba overturned, why don't you change the seat, your face is quite red, and you won't need to cook for a while, you can cook hot spring eggs on your face."

Jiang Xuan glanced at him, a little bit wanting to laugh, but after holding back for a while, the corners of his lips curled up, "Why are you like this, you don't have the stability that an adult should have."

Cheng Lang didn't answer, looked at him and smiled for a while, then asked, "Why did you think of inviting me to dinner?"

Jiang Xuan replied very frankly: "Thank you for helping me look at the design drawings. If I was alone, I might have been busy for a long time."

"You said it earlier," Cheng Yan suddenly realized, and blinked, "I should have ordered more just now. Pork, chicken, and beef are one, two, three, four..."

The atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and Jiang Xuan's mood relaxed strangely, and the corners of his mouth widened, "There is no one fight, and one fight is an ordinary donburi. This store has a maximum of three fights. Do you think you are playing puzzles?"

Cheng Lang: "I see that you order food with great momentum, and you are very confident, so I think there should be six or seven fights."

At this time, the shopkeeper came with two trays, one in each hand, walked to the edge of their table and put one of the trays on Cheng Hong's side. Jiang Xuan was ready to wait for him to put down the other tray. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper He turned around and gave it to the little girl who came alone at the next table.

"Beef rice bowl, pour hot spring eggs on top of it, and put it on. Come on, your chicken and beef double, stir the miso before drinking."

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the little girl's table, the little girl probably knew what he was thinking, subconsciously stretched out her hand to circle the tray, and smiled: "Why, this is mine, your six or seven... We have to wait for the fight!"

"Pfft," Cheng Lang was delighted, and raised his hands in complete disbelief, stuck them on both sides of Jiang Xuan's cheeks, and turned his head back, "Don't worry, I won't eat, wait for you."

For a moment, Jiang Xuan didn't know whether to look back or avoid Cheng Hong's hand. His earlobe happened to be pressed by Cheng Hong's fingertips. He shrank his neck subconsciously, and slapped his hand away after realizing it.

There was a crisp sound, and Cheng Lang was stunned for a moment, and the back of his right hand was red in the next moment, and then he realized that his actions just now were not polite, "...I'm sorry." .

Jiang Xuan frowned, seeing the red back of his hands, the side of his face, his chin and ears where he touched a little heat, as if Cheng Hong's hands were still on them.He suddenly felt awkward all over his body, itchy and dry like bugs crawling on his body, "...It's okay, I was quite strong just now, isn't it very painful?"

Just then the shopkeeper came again, this time it belonged to Jiang Xuan.

Cheng Lang didn't bother to answer, and moved his tray back to make room for his.

The content of Jiang Xuan's set meal with beef, mutton and chicken is similar to that of Cheng Hong, except that the rice bowl is larger, and there is also a small iron plate with meat skewers on it, and the freshly fried meat skewers are still jumping out Oil.

Cheng Hong handed the chopsticks to Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan took it with his head down, his eyes didn't meet Cheng Hong's.

Cheng Lang could see that he didn't seem very happy.

Not surprisingly, the reason for his unhappiness should be that he touched him just now.

Pretty cool.he thought.

"Are you on vacation?"

It was probably because the two of them were having a good chat just now, but no one was talking now, and the little girl at the next table looked back several times, so Cheng Yang had no choice but to tease him.

Jiang Xuan stuffed a spoonful of rice into his mouth. The content was very rich, including paella, and the sauce was delicious. It was very satisfying to eat it in one bite.After eating a lot, I felt better, and I was not as embarrassed as before, so I replied: "It's been two days."

He suddenly thought of something, put down his chopsticks, took out something from his pocket under Cheng Hong's gaze, and handed it to him hesitantly, "This...here, it's not very pretty, if you don't like it, just put it aside .”

Cheng Lang was stunned for a long time, staring at the bird in his hand, and then saw the ring on it, "Is this a keychain?"

"Well," Jiang Xuan said, "You've helped me a lot. I want to make something for you. This one is made from scraps of drones, and the technology is limited..."

"What kind of bird is this?" Cheng Hong suddenly asked.

Jiang Xuan shut his mouth.

Looking up at him, he found that Cheng Lang's expression was different from what he thought.

The eyes are bright, and the pale lips are slightly parted, looking very happy.

"...The oriole," Jiang Xuan said uncertainly, "I didn't think too much about it when I made it. Looking at the color, you can take it as an oriole."

"The oriole?" Cheng Hong raised his eyebrows.He pinched the keychain from Jiang Xuan's palm, looked it in his hand for a moment, and found that only one side had a picture, and the other side was light gray and smooth to the touch. The drone made by Jiang Xuan roughly appeared in his mind. The look, the mood is getting brighter.

"Thank you, it's very cute, I accepted it, and the food was delicious, as expected of a school bully," he said.

Jiang Xuan, who had been holding his heart slightly since he took out the keychain, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it, and didn't pay attention to the joke in his tone. The next moment, he also bent his eyes and smiled, and reached out to pick up a fried skewer.He tilted his head and rolled it to the end, very arrogant.

Cheng Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took out the car key from his pocket and put it on in front of Jiang Xuan. There was a bird hanging on the Cayenne's key, which looked as inexplicable as the mobile phone holder attached to the central control system in the car.

But Jiang Xuan's eyes fell on it, and he hummed a song in his heart for some reason.
