Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 60 Shrimp Sliders
After Tang Butian finished speaking, she took a sip of milk tea and said, "Taoist Qingyang is a Taoist priest, and the statue stole the Taoist incense."
"Yeah, hot pot for dinner?"
"good."
When Jiang You and Tang Butian were walking towards Jiumei Square, Zhang Lin knocked on the door of Xu Jiaqi's room.
Xu Jiaqi stood at the door with one hand on the door handle.
Zhang Lin looked into the room and saw the suitcase open on the floor next to the bed. There were a few folded clothes on the bed and the screen of his cell phone was on.
He asked, "Are you packing?"
"If you sort it out now, you won't be in a rush tomorrow morning."
Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's a dinner party tonight."
"Go ahead and eat. I'm not very hungry."
"Jia Jia, I didn't make any plans for this trip. This is also my first time traveling with a girl. I just wanted to have a good place to stay and introduce my friends to you. I was too impatient."
He saw that Xu Jiaqi's expression had eased a little.
"We will be returning to Tangjiang tomorrow. It's a rare opportunity for them to fly here from all over the country."
"I'll change my clothes." said Xu Jiaqi.
Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Jiajia."
The door was pushed shut.
Xu Jiaqi walked back to the bed, found a cashmere skirt, and picked up her cell phone.
Her best friend Guo Miaoting asked her on WeChat: What time will you arrive in Tangjiang tomorrow?
Xu Jiaqi : He just came to apologize.
Guo Miaoting: What did he say?
Xu Jiaqi: He said he had never dated a girl before.
Guo Miaoting: Will he lie to you? He came back from the United States, where people are very open.
Xu Jiaqi: Let’s talk about it when we get back. I’ll change my clothes and go eat.
She changed into a dark grey cashmere dress and went to the bathroom to comb her hair.
After changing her shoes, she opened the door of the room again.
Zhang Lin was still standing outside the door.
"Let's go." said Xu Jiaqi.
They walked towards the elevator.
Jiang You poured all the luncheon meat into the spicy pot. "The luncheon meat here is homemade. Very little starch is used. You can take it out and eat it once it's opened."
Tang Butian looked at a bubble appearing on the surface of a spicy hot pot.
With one chopstick, he accurately picked out a piece of luncheon meat.
After finishing her meal, she looked at the soup pot and asked, "Why isn't it boiling yet?"
"The surface of the hot pot is covered with a layer of oil to keep it warm."
"Will reading clubs lead to fatalities?"
Jiang You also took out a piece of luncheon meat, and then he put the old meat slices in. "It will come out eventually. It's actually quite interesting."
"interesting?"
"Checking in every day is equivalent to praying every day. Inviting people to join is equivalent to inducting people into the religion. Using the label of reading to beautify yourself, if you are wronged outside, people in the club will always stand from your perspective and comfort you patiently and warmly. The cohesion of the entire circle is gradually improved, and it is separated from the outside world. It's fun, isn't it?"
"And then what happens ?"
The soup pot is boiling.
Jiang You slid the bamboo fungus shrimp in , "This must be put in the clear soup pot. If you put it in the spicy pot, the fresh taste will be covered by the spicy taste."
He picked up a piece of old meat and said, "This one is also cooked. The fan circle also follows this routine, so I especially like to watch the fan circle fight. I call it the Battle of the Gods - Fake."
"so what?"
"The beliefs within the circle and the friction between those within and outside the circle also provide some snacks, but there must be a purpose for worshipping the evil god, right? To gather the strength of the members? The entry mechanism of this reading club basically screens out those who are intelligent and motivated. Those who can't accomplish anything can be sent out as cannon fodder since it's not a war era.
"It's like the fan circle is working so hard to manipulate comments and create data. I heard that they have to stay up late to vote. Which traffic star has become a superstar by relying on fan circle manipulation?"
Tang Butian picked up a piece of bamboo fungus shrimp paste.
"Gods and demons are all fed with blood," Jiang You scooped up a piece and put it into the sauce, "There is no such thing as a gentle one, right? What do you think about me training Jiang Mo to be a star?"
Tang Butian chewed seriously.
Xu Jiaqi followed Zhang Lin into the small restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.
Small buffet party.
Zhang Lin took Xu Jiaqi and sat down at an empty table.
"Please sit down for a while. I'll say hello to them."
Xu Jiaqi nodded.
She looked at the people in the restaurant, all of whom were dressed formally.
"Hello, I'm Wu Ya."
Xu Jiaqi turned around and saw a woman in a black velvet dress standing by the table. She asked, "Can I sit down?"
Xu Jiaqi nodded.
"Zhang Lin always told us that he found the best girl in the world after returning to China."
Xu Jiaqi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
She is thirty-six years old and is no longer a girl.
"I originally thought he was exaggerating, but now I know he really has good taste."
Xu Jiaqi smiled.
Wu Ya looked at her expression and asked, "How many days have you stayed here? What aspects of this hotel's facilities and services do you think need improvement?"
Xu Jiaqi showed a puzzled expression on his face.
“I own this hotel.”
"I see," Xu Jiaqi understood. She thought for a moment, "There was a scent of incense in the room. I asked the front desk, and she said it was a feature of the hotel."
"Yes," Wu Ya said, "the incense is specially imported from the United States."
"I have rhinitis and cannot open the windows in winter. I think it is the guests who choose the hotel, not the hotel that chooses the guests. Incense can be made optional instead of mandatory."
Wu Ya nodded. "Very good advice. You are worthy of being a university teacher."
Xu Jiaqi smiled and said, "I work in administration ."
Zhang Lin came back with two plates of food. After he sat down, he said, "Jia Jia, this is my good friend Wu Ya. She often gives lectures at universities."
"Lecture tour?"
Wu Ya nodded. " Regarding the awakening of women's consciousness, I will take a few months every year to give lectures in various universities. China is still very backward in this regard."
At this time, a man in a gray suit walked to their table. He lowered his head and whispered a few words in Wu Ya's ear. Wu Ya smiled apologetically at Xu Jiaqi and said, "I'll go out for a while."
Xu Jiaqi nodded.
"She's amazing. When I first arrived in the United States, I encountered a lot of difficulties and she helped me a lot," Zhang Lin looked up at Xu Jiaqi, "Shall I introduce you to them?"
Xu Jiaqi shook her head and said, "Zhang Lin, we are not suitable."
"Jia Jia, I know I didn't arrange it well this time..."
"That's not the reason."
"Why is that?"
"I'm too picky. My personality isn't right for you."
"I can change it."
Xu Jiaqi shook her head again, "It's my problem. I will transfer the money for this trip to you."
At this time, Wu Ya came in again. She stood in the middle of the restaurant and looked at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin glanced at Xu Jiaqi, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked to Wu Ya.
To speak, to give a speech.
Xu Jiaqi watched quietly the interaction between Zhang Lin and his friends.
