022: Do Smuggling?

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Cheng's words.

Liu Yong was speechless.

Xia Xiaolan thought to herself, this is only 20 years old, is she being pursued by Xiao Xianrou?

Zhou Cheng's youth reminded Xia Xiaolan that she is only 18 years old now. She has a great youth to enjoy, and Xia Xiaolan can't hold back the joy. The big herring is also delicious. The chef of the state-run restaurant is very powerful. Isn't it right for the waiter to be a little arrogant? Thinking of those time-honored stores in later generations, the owner's temper is not so good, and diners are still flocking to them.

The fish slices as thin as cicada's wings were tender and not fishy, ​​Xia Xiaolan put down her chopsticks with a pity.

Although the fish is delicious, Zhou Cheng said so, she also needs to express her stance.

"Brother Zhou, sit down and talk."

Standing up was too serious, as if proposing to her uncle.

"I can hear your sincerity, and I also talk about my own psychological words... How bad my reputation is, I guess you have heard it too. Some things, I still have to solve them by myself. Only when I am strong, I am not afraid. Dirty water was thrown by others, right? I still live with my mother at my uncle's house. I said this not to win your sympathy, and I also know that you want to help me. However, I will not consider personal feelings for the time being. I hope that I can develop a healthy and long-term relationship with an independent attitude, thank you, Brother Zhou."

No matter how euphemistic the words are, it is also a rejection.

Kang Wei could not help shrinking his neck.

He was afraid that Zhou Cheng would overturn the table. Hasn't Brother Chengzi been rejected like this since he was a child?

What's more, Brother Chengzi didn't dislike Xia Xiaolan's unclear reputation!

Kang Wei didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to lift the table, Zhou Cheng watched Xia Xiaolan for a while, but actually sat down:

"I know what you mean. We've known each other for a short time. I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be mentally burdened. Just like friends, you can communicate with each other as you please. Eat fish, the chefs of this restaurant are very good! "

Kang Wei's eyeballs almost didn't fall out.

Really accepted?

Not angry at all?

Anyway, if Kang Wei was rejected, he would definitely not sit down and eat fish again so calmly!

However, Zhou Cheng and Xia Xiaolan seemed to have spoken out, and both of them acted quite naturally. Zhou Cheng is very generous, and Xia Xiaolan is not squeamish... Strange to say, Xia Xiaolan is the proudest and most charming girl Kang Wei has ever seen, but she grew up in a rural area, and she has the hearty spirit of a big girl in the capital. No, she's not the same as the big girl in the capital. Those little girls who say "you, you" outside, pretend to be a lady in front of Zhou Cheng. Xia Xiaolan is not like this. She has a cheerful temperament, but she is very polite.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

A word suddenly popped into Kang Wei's mind.

Is the little village girl not humble or arrogant?

He felt that he was going to drink a bowl of fish ball soup to overwhelm him!

The two young people made it clear that Liu Yong could not continue to intervene. Anyway, Zhou Cheng wouldn't stay in Anqing County all the time. Sooner or later, he was going to get out. Liu Yong ate the fish happily. A 18-pound big herring was eaten cleanly by four people. Zhou Cheng said in the middle of going out for a cigarette, and when he came back, he had already settled the bill.

I'm sorry to change Liu Yong now.

"It's not a big deal, it's the same for anyone who invites you, the main thing is that the people who have dinner together are happy!"

Zhou Cheng said it casually, he did not lack this money.

But in this day and age, buying an egg requires careful consumption. It is rare for Zhou Cheng to be so generous. The waiters in the hotel all peeped at him, thinking that this capital person is really rich, it would be nice if she was a partner!

But seeing Xia Xiaolan, the waitress was too embarrassed to say that she was more provocative than Xia Xiaolan.

It's no use to steal someone's object.

Leaving the hotel, Zhou Cheng asked Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong what they were going to do next, and whether they needed him to drive for a ride. Xia Xiaolan shook her head:

"I'm going to buy something. Today has already delayed you for a day, so there is no need to send it."

Cars burn oil, and it is difficult to change from luxury to thrift. Xia Xiaolan has finally adapted to the life of 83 years, and she has not yet enjoyed the time to pick up and deliver by car. Zhou Cheng didn't force it, "Then uncle and Xiaolan, you should pay attention to safety when you go home. Kang Wei and I will stay in Anqing County for two more days. You can come to the hostel to find us when you enter the city."

In addition to calling Liu Yong "uncle", Zhou Cheng didn't bother at all, and really took Kang Wei and Xia Xiaolan on two separate paths.

Liu Yong smiled, and when the two were gone, his face suddenly darkened:

"These two may be smuggling, a business that makes money by licking the knife's edge. If you don't know when you will lose both people and money, Xiaolan, don't look at the handsome boy and be deceived by his rhetoric."

Xia Xiaolan was not too surprised.

Zhou Cheng was wearing a Rolex and driving a Dadongfeng with steel bars welded to death. This man also carried an indescribable evil spirit. It is not surprising that he was involved in smuggling.

"Uncle, how did you see it?"

Xia Xiaolan's strange thing is this, Liu Yong is a farmer who makes money by building houses and pigsties for others, how can he have such a vision!

Uncle, are you really a dry mason? Buying a new bike again, and having the confidence to help their mother and daughter... Is it enough to rely on the mason's wages?

Liu Yong laughed, Gu Zuo said to him:

"Your uncle is smart, what are you going to buy? Buy it early, let's go home early."

Xia Xiaolan did not continue to ask questions on the street, she and Liu Yong went to the department store. Anqing County relies on two large factories to support its economy. The department store in the county town is not very large, and there are not many customers at this time. Liu Yong saw Xia Xiaolan walking towards the counter selling cloth and clothes, thinking she wanted to make new clothes

.

There's nothing wrong with the little girl's family who likes to wear new clothes.

Liu Yong can still afford it for a few yuan a meter of cloth.

But when Xia Xiaolan walked to the counter, she pointed at the colorful schoolbag with a baby elephant and asked:

"Comrade, how much is this bag?"

The salesperson was making sweaters without raising his head: "10 yuan each, schoolbags from the Shanghai market are expensive."

"I want this, wrap it up for me!"

The salesperson finally gave Xia Xiaolan a look, she didn't care who bought the schoolbag, as long as she had the money. Xia Xiaolan paid the money, and then said to Liu Yong, "Let's go, my aunt told us to go home early for dinner."

Liu Yong realized with hindsight, "You don't buy things for yourself? The schoolbag was bought for Taotao? It's too expensive... I think the canvas next to me is good. Oh, what's the use of a child's schoolbag, your aunt still Said to sew him one with cloth!"

Liu Yong said that he was spending money, but he felt comfortable in his heart.

It's not because Xia Xiaolan spent money, but because Xia Xiaolan is sensible and knows that she cares about her little cousin. Brothers and sisters are blood relatives, and relatives care about each other, and the days will get better and better in the future.

Liu Yong looked back at the monotonous cloth on the counter, resisted the urge to shop, and bought it when he was alone.

When the nephew and the uncle returned to Qijing Village, Li Fengmei and Liu Fen hadn't come back, and Liu Yong couldn't stay at home, so he went to the field to help. Taotao went crazy with her new schoolbag in her arms, and kept asking, "Sister Xiaolan, is this for me? Is it really for me?"

Xia Xiaolan decided to cook first.

To tell the truth, the fish meal at noon made her eat a little hard, and now she is just doing some work to digest it.

She is not good at the heat of the large stove in the countryside. Although she was poor in her previous life, she cooked by herself in her teens, but it was on a honeycomb stove, and then she had a gas stove. She had no experience in using a rural earth stove—fortunately She has Taotao, even though her younger cousin is only six years old, she often cooks fire for Li Fengmei to watch the stove.

With Taotao's help, Xia Xiaolan steamed the rice in a slightly smaller iron pot. White radish was cooked under the steamer, and the other large pot was used for cooking.

Li Fengmei was given half a pair of pig livers. Xia Xiaolan, who is very good at kung fu, dared not touch her, but in addition to pig livers, there were crucian carp, loach and other things at home. Killing loach is a technical job. There is a sticky liquid on the surface of the loach, which is slippery and does not leave hands. Before killing, wash with hot salt water... Xia Xiaolan was in a hurry, Taotao laughed when he saw the slippery loach on the ground, and didn't give his cousin any face.

After finally finishing the loach, Xia Xiaolan used a dry chili soy pot and tofu to cook it together, covered the pot and slowly simmered it to taste, and then went to clean up the crucian carp.

The crucian carp is easy to pick up. Pull some shallots from the back of the house, and pinch the leaves of Agaricus, and she can make a crucian carp with Agaricus.

When the people working in the fields came back, only the pork liver was left to be fried.

"Xiaolan has the meal ready?"

...

In Anqing County Guest House, the protagonist of Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei's conversation is also Xia Xiaolan.
