After hanging up the phone, Qi Bin's frown instantly relaxed, and his face quickly returned to the warm and calm smile of the past.
He straightened his collar and then walked into the restaurant briskly.
Lin Xun and Lu Manman were chatting, and both of them looked very relaxed.
The table was for 4 people, two on each side, Lin Xun and Lu Manman sat together, and Qi Bin had to sit opposite.
"We have already ordered the dishes we wanted to order, do you have anything else to order?"
Lin Xun handed the menu to Qi Bin.
"No, that's it, I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Qi Bin still had that polite smile, and then his eyes fell on Lu Manman:
"By the way, Manman, how about you introduce us so that we can officially meet?"
"Is it necessary?"
Lu Manman frowned slightly, obviously she didn't believe that Qi Bin really just wanted to get to know Lin Xun.
"Of course it's necessary. You are my fiancée, and your friends are my friends. I naturally need to get to know you."
Qi Bin still had a seemingly sincere smile on his face, but when he said the word "fiancée", he deliberately emphasized the tone. Then, his eyes quickly looked at Lin Xun, as if he wanted to catch a slight change from Lin Xun's expression.
However, Lin Xun's face was still as calm as water, without any ripples. He just calmly picked up the teapot on the table and began to pour water slowly.
"We are not engaged yet. In theory, I am not your fiancée. In fact, we are not even friends." Lu Manman's tone was as calm as water.
"My name is Lin Xun, and I am Lu Manman's friend."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Lin Xun put down the teapot, stood up and extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"My name is Qi Bin, and I am Lu Manman's fiancée."
Qi Bin also stretched out his white and slender hands, and the two gently shook hands.
This is considered a formal acquaintance.
Lin Xun clearly felt that Qi Bin seemed to have some hostility towards him. Although he hid this hostility very deeply, he could still detect a hint of disdain in his words.
Is it because of Lu Manman?
It must be. Since ancient times, beautiful women have brought disasters. This is the truth.
"I heard that Mr. Lin is suffering from a terminal illness. Is this true?!"
Qi Bin also picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water.
"Qi Bin! What do you want to do?"
Lu Manman's eyes turned cold in an instant. She glared at him with dissatisfaction in her heart.
She knew that Lin Xun's terminal illness was a painful thing, but Qi Bin deliberately provoked his pain at this time.
"It's true. I do have a terminal illness. My friends around me also know this. It's not a secret."
Lin Xun waved his hand, his tone was still very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary little thing.
"Okay, I'm just concerned, nothing else. If you need it, I can help you. Our Qi family has some useful connections in Haipu City..."
Qi Bin took a sip of the tea in the cup and said, "What kind of tea is this? It's so bitter."
After that, he pushed the cup aside.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qi. However, since it is a terminal illness, it means that there is no way to treat it. I appreciate your kindness."
"The dishes are coming! Please be careful!"
As the waiter's voice came over, the dishes were put on the table one after another.
There are spicy and fragrant mapo tofu, bright red, fat but not greasy twice-cooked pork, spicy and delicious kung pao chicken, and the mouth-watering husband and wife lung slices.
These dishes are all accompanied by a large amount of red peppers and fragrant chili oil. The bright colors and fragrant aroma make people's appetites whet.
"Wow, it looks good."
Lu Manman's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she looked at the dishes on the table with great anticipation.
"Let's eat, everyone should be hungry."
"Yeah."
"This Fuqi Feipian tastes very good, Lin Xun, you try it."
Lu Manman picked up a piece of meat and put it in Lin Xun's bowl.
Qi Bin saw this scene, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Lu Manman was deliberately irritating him.
His fiancée picked up food for others, what's the matter?
"Thank you."
Lin Xun smiled and thanked Lu Manman, then took a bite, it was really good, just a little spicy, with the unique aroma of pepper, the spicy taste bloomed on the tip of the tongue, it was endless aftertaste.
"Why is Fuqi Feipian called Fuqi Feipian? Could it really be the husband and wife's lung slices?" Lu Manman said.He talked to himself while chewing.
"Your question is just like asking whether there is a wife in the wife cake."
Lin Xun began to explain: "In fact, the origin of this dish was created by a couple. The couple personally operated it, walked the streets, and sold it with a basket, so people gradually called the dish they sold "Fuqi Feipian".
"So that's how it is. It's quite interesting. I haven't seen these things in books."
Qi Bin also picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Well, it tastes really good, but I have heard an alternative answer."
"This dish was indeed created by a couple, but the reason it is called Feipian is that the original raw materials are the scraps discarded by the beef shop, such as beef heart, liver, tripe, beef lungs, and beef scraps.
These scraps are low-cost and much cheaper than beef, so everyone also calls them "waste slices", and it became "Fei Pian" after calling them."
"Yes, there is indeed such a saying."
Lin Xun nodded. There are often several versions of the origin of such folk dishes.
But what surprised him was that a rich kid like Qi Bin would actually know these things.
"'Waste slices' does have one advantage. Although it is not as good as beef, it can be regarded as a substitute for beef. But as people's conditions improve, they will definitely eat more beef."
"Compared to 'waste slices', I still prefer to eat 'beef'. What about you, Lin Xun?"
Qi Bin put down his chopsticks after taking a bite, with his signature smile still hanging on the corners of his mouth.
"Beef is good, but some people like to eat lung slices. For example, this 'husband and wife lung slices', if it is made with other ingredients, it will not have its original taste. Can it still be called 'husband and wife lung slices'?"
Lin Xun felt that Qi Bin obviously had something to say.
"What are you talking about? Let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
Seeing the two still discussing the names of the dishes with great interest, Lu Manman hurriedly urged them, and then picked up other dishes and started eating.
"Well, let's eat."
Perhaps because Sichuan cuisine is more delicious, the three of them ate quickly.
They had finished all four dishes in half an hour.
"This restaurant is quite authentic." Lin Xun took a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"It's okay. If you want to talk about Sichuan cuisine in Haipu City, you have to go to Tianfu Zunwei Pavilion. If you like it, I'll take you to try it next time."
Qi Bin unbuttoned his suit jacket. He was indeed a little hot after eating.
"Let's talk about it next time." Lu Manman replied perfunctorily.
"By the way, I don't know what Mr. Lin Xun's family does?"
Qi Bin only knew that Lin Xun was from the mountains before, but he didn't know about the situation at home.
"My family?"
Lin Xun was stunned.
"I am the only one. What I do is what my family does."
