Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 3 Coriander Meatballs
When Jiang You returned to the hotel, Zhou Tao and Zhao Shiqi had also arrived.
"Let's go and have dinner." Zhao Shiqi said.
"I'll go upstairs to put the things down." Jiang You raised the simulated panda doll and shopping bag in his hand.
"Don't bring the child with you," Zhou Tao glanced at Jiang Mo, "Shiqi will say goodbye to being single tomorrow. Let's have a good chat tonight."
"It's okay. He's full. I'll take him back to sleep first, and then I'll meet up with you guys."
"That's it." Zhao Shiqi agreed.
"The four of us can fit in one car," Zhou Tao saw Xue Bei coming out of the elevator from the corner of his eye, "Let Xue Bei help you look after the kids."
Jiang You looked at Xue Bei walking towards them and said, "This is not good."
"What's wrong with that?" Zhou Tao turned around and said to Xue Bei, "Let's go eat..."
"Okay, I haven't eaten yet either."
Zhou Tao felt a little embarrassed.
"We have activities to do after dinner. Could you please take Jiang Mo back to his room later?"
"OK."
So Zhao Shiqi, Zhou Tao and Yuan Shu took a taxi and left first. Jiang You went upstairs to put the doll away. When he went downstairs, he saw Jiang Mo sitting on the sofa in the hall playing with his mobile phone, and Xue Bei was standing aside watching him.
"Let's go," Jiang You said, "I called a taxi when I came down, it should be here soon."
Jiang Mo stood up.
When I walked out of the hall, a taxi just stopped at the door.
All three of them sat in the back seat.
"They've arrived," Jiang You looked at his phone, "and are ordering food."
"Did you go to the park this afternoon?"
"Well, the giant panda breeding base is so fun. The bite force is amazing. There are bamboos as thick as his arms." Jiang You took Jiang Mo's hand and gestured, "Crunch, crunch, one in each bite. It's amazing. When GunGun was just born, he was as big as a palm, pink and very cute."
Seeing Jiang Youshuo's beaming expression, Xue Bei lowered her eyes, "I didn't even dare to recognize you this morning."
"Of course, there's a difference of more than 20 kilograms of meat. Think about it, 20 kilograms of pork belly is enough for you to eat for a year, right?"
Xue Bei smiled.
Zhao Shiqi and the other two were sitting in the hot pot restaurant. They ordered a mandarin duck hot pot. When the pot was served, there was a palm-sized clear soup pot in the middle of a large pot of red beef soup. The contrast was quite striking.
"Did Xue Bei say anything to you?" Zhao Shiqi asked Zhou Tao.
"She's so proactive, a woman, I think Jiang You is still single, so I'll give her a push."
Zhao Shiqi took a cigarette and lit it.
He saw Jiang You walking in with Jiang Mo, and Xue Bei following behind them.
Jiang You saw them at once.
He walked over quickly and pulled out three chairs. After Xue Bei sat down, he took Jiang Mo to sit down. "Jinrong's shabu-shabu pot is completely different from Tang Jiang's. I feel that the spicy pot is mercilessly mocking the clear soup pot." He turned around and asked Jiang Mo, "Do you eat spicy food?"
The waiter brought the dishes one by one, filling the table .
"If you come to Jinrong to eat hotpot, you have to go to this kind of fly restaurant," Zhao Shiqi introduced. "Zhuzhou has a lot of food, but the taste is too light and delicate. For dishes like haoer fish and hotpot maocai, you can only enjoy them at Jinrong."
"I'll go get some seasoning." Jiang You stood up.
"I'll go too." Xue Bei followed him to the seasoning area.
"They look pretty good." Zhou Tao said.
"It's hard to say. It wasn't obvious when we first got together. Do you remember the girl who came over when we ate half of it?"
"I remember," Yuan Shu suddenly remembered, "the particularly beautiful one?"
"Later, Qingsu and I went to Tangjiang again. He took us to Jinguang Temple. I always felt that he was dealing with a lot of strange people."
The soup base is boiling.
After Zhao Shiqi put the tripe down, he saw Jiang You coming back with a seasoning bowl in one hand, "Anyway, he still treats us as brothers, so we should not care about other things."
"I think so too." Yuan Shu agreed.
Jiang You placed a seasoning bowl in front of Jiang Min, then sat down. He asked, "What are you talking about? You look so serious."
"Let's talk about you. You were the thinnest before," Yuan Shu looked at the pot, "The tripe is ready to eat. If you cook it any further, it won't be crispy anymore."
They all raised their chopsticks. Jiang You picked up a piece of minced Jiang and put it in the bowl, then picked up another piece for himself. He took a bite and said, "Well, not bad. You really have to come here to eat hot pot. The pig's trotters I had at noon were also good. I plan to stay here for a few days. Shiqi, can you recommend me a few more restaurants?"
"How many days do you plan to stay?" Zhao Shiqi asked.
"Four or five days, and then I plan to go to Bridge City for a few days. I haven't decided where to go after that."
"Then let's go to number 3. On the 3rd, I'll take you to another hot pot restaurant. The base ingredients there are all freshly fried."
"Aren't you going on your honeymoon with your sister-in-law?"
Zhao Shiqi sighed, "Let me tell you, there was almost no bride for this wedding banquet."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Yuan Shu asked.
Zhao Shiqi lit another cigarette. "She suddenly said that she wanted some protection and must have her name added to the house. I guess one of her friends told her that."
"Isn't this normal? We can pay off the mortgage together after marriage." Xue Bei said.
"Actually, if she had said that two years ago, I would have added the money because I was prepared to live with it for the rest of my life. But with all the things she's done in the past two years, I'm scared. I don't care, but my parents' lifetime savings are in it."
After Jiang Mo finished eating the beef tripe, Jiang You continued to stuff crispy pork, old meat slices, and fried squid into his bowl one by one.
Jiang Mo tried hard to eliminate it bit by bit.
"It's not good for children to eat too much spicy food, right?" Zhou Tao said.
Jiang You thought about it and asked the waiter for an empty bowl.
He threw two coriander meatballs into the clear soup pot.
When the empty bowl was brought up, the coriander meatballs were also cooked. He scooped the meatballs into the bowl and scooped a few spoonfuls of clear soup.
"Come on, after you finish this, let Auntie take you back to bed, okay?"
Ginger minced looked at the coriander meatballs.
"He likes coriander?" Yuan Shu asked.
"I don't know. I don't think you hate it, right? Right, Jiang Mo?"
The minced ginger poked the chopsticks into the cilantro balls.
"What happened next?" Zhou Tao asked Zhao Shiqi.
"After a while, she suddenly gave in. I have already cancelled my flight and hotel."
"It's probably premarital phobia. Women tend to overthink things. But in the end, she came around," Jiang You scooped up a coriander meatball and ate it. "Is she still in that reading club?"
"Why isn't she here? One of her bridesmaids is from the reading club."
“Apple Reading Club?”
"How do you know?" Zhao Shiqi asked.
"I have a friend who is in the Apple Book Club. Every day when I look at her Moments, I see her checking in."
"Qing Su too!" Zhao Shiqi sighed again, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it, let's continue eating."
Ginger still ate the coriander meatballs.
The soup was also drunk .
"Shall I take him home? I've almost finished eating." Xue Bei said.
"Thank you very much, just send him back to the room," Jiang You handed the room card to Xue Bei, and said to Jiang Mo, "You have to listen to Auntie, understand?"
Jiang Mo stood up.
Xue Bei took his hand and led him out of the hot pot restaurant.
"He's recovered pretty well, but he still can't speak." Yuan Shu sighed.
"He's good at talking. You see how much I talk. If he learns from me, he will definitely grow up to be a talkative person."
"Come on, come on. You're going to be the groom tomorrow. It's a once-in-a-lifetime happy event. Shiqi, don't be so sad. Have a drink." Yuan Shu raised his glass.
They drank a toast.
After eating hot pot, Zhao Shiqi took them for a stroll in Kuanzhai Alley.
Zhao Shiqi had to get up early the next day, so after midnight, they dispersed.
Zhao Shiqi went home, and Jiang You and the other two returned to the hotel.
