Chapter 299 Dinner
Song Kai took out the phone again, called Mrs. Qi, told him about Cao Feng, and asked him to entertain Cao Feng first.
Mrs. Qi heard that Song Kai had found an apprentice for himself. On the other side of the phone, he said in a strange tone, hehehe, five times. Song Kai believed that Qi Tai's expression must be wonderful, but although he was a congenital master, he could not see what Qi Tai was like over the phone.
I have to say it's a pity!
"It's this time. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Shall we find a place to eat something first?" After hanging up the phone, Song Kai continued to go to the Xinyuan community, but he felt a little hungry. Although after being promoted to the innate realm, Song Kai has nothing to do even if he doesn't eat or drink for a month. However, I used to eat it. Why did Song Kai learn from the immortals to play Pigu? Song Kai really didn't want to.
Although there is a saying that illustrates the benefits of Pigu. That is, the grains and miscellaneous grains that people eat, and the meat of some animals, although they contain nutrients, they also contain impurities. Especially these days, what kind of gutter oil Sudan red, what is really natural and pollution-free?
Eating these things will more or less leave impurities in the body, and these impurities can be washed by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth when practicing, but naturally it is not easy to remove them clean. If there are too many impurities in the body, it is usually okay. Once you want to break through, a little impurity is likely to make you lose your previous efforts and destroy it for decades of hard work.
However, these are not within the scope of Song Kai's concerns. They have the spirit of pure yang, not to mention impurities. Even if it is a stone, it has to disappear in Song Kai's body. Although I ate some at Yi's house, considering that Xiaocheng hasn't eaten yet, Song Kai plans to invite her to eat some.
"Go out to eat? Forget it. I'll buy some vegetables and go back to cook. Xiao Cheng shook his head and could see that her expression was a little unnatural. Originally, Song Kai helped her. According to the current etiquette, he invited others to a meal, which was the most common thank you. And now it's time for dinner.
It's just that Xiaocheng has been alone all these years. He has been living a hard life. When he was in college, he still owed a lot of money to his relatives. After working for a few years, he saved money. Although her relatives are good so that she doesn't have to be so anxious, Xiaocheng always saves 20,000 yuan a year. With her salary of 3,000 yuan a month, she can save 20,000 yuan after eating. It's really not easy.
However, the money owed to others was also paid off not long ago, but Xiaocheng did have no money on hand. What she has in her hand now is only 300 yuan, which is Xiaocheng's fare and breakfast and dinner for the next month. It's all carefully calculated by her. Lunch can be eaten for free in the canteen of the traffic police squadron, two yuan for the fare, two yuan for steamed buns for breakfast, and the remaining six yuan is for buying vegetables for dinner, and even these six yuan may sometimes have to be an emergency. Sometimes colleagues patrol together to buy a bottle of water or something, which is very ordinary. But a bottle of three-yuan coke may mean that Xiaocheng has to eat instant noodles or some leftovers from yesterday in the evening.
Although it is simple to find a cheap restaurant, it is estimated to be about 100 yuan, but if you spend 100 yuan, Xiaocheng will be hungry for ten days...
Song Kai really didn't know this, and he didn't mean to let Xiaocheng invite himself to dinner, but Song Kai would rather try Xiaocheng's cooking skills than going to a restaurant to eat those dishes that sold better. So he replied happily, "That's good. Try Xiaocheng's craftsmanship. Where are we going to buy vegetables?"
"There is a supermarket in front of it." Xiaocheng replied, and he was thinking in his heart that the vegetables in the supermarket were more expensive than those in the vegetable market! However, at this time, there is no one in the vegetable market for a long time. Fortunately, it is also at this time. Many things in the supermarket are on sale, which should not be too expensive.
When I arrived at the supermarket, the environment here is really much different from that of Gusu. There are even some vegetable leaves thrown randomly at the door of the supermarket, and there are several barbecue stalls not far away, which are smoky.
Xiaocheng ignored these and went straight into the supermarket. She bought some tomatoes first. There were still two eggs at home. Whether it was scrambled tomatoes with eggs or soup, it was a good choice. I bought some more tofu and fried it in oil. It tasted great. After thinking about it, she still gritted her teeth and bought some beef and green peppers. After all, she is a guest, and there is always a decent meat dish, right?
Although the price of more than 30 yuan per catty means that Xiaocheng will have to eat instant noodles for the next few days, it is really impossible. After all, looking at the car driven by Song, he is not a person who is short of money. I'm afraid that if he is shabby, he will not be able to eat it.
Song Kai didn't know this. Seeing that Xiaocheng bought a lot of vegetables, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey hey, I'll be blessed later!"
"Well, you are blessed. I have to eat instant noodles in the next few days!" Xiao Cheng muttered, but in his heart...
When I arrived at Xinyuan Community, this is an old house, which is estimated to have been built more than ten years ago. But Song Kai can imagine that if he had money to buy a house in such a community more than ten years ago, Xiaocheng's family situation should be good. Unexpectedly, all she can own now is such a house. It's not that she didn't want to sell it, but if she sold the house, she was really homeless.
When I entered the room, the area was not large, about 90 square meters, and the old appearance of the wall and furniture could be seen. After changing other people's homes, I'm afraid I changed the new furniture several times, but Xiaocheng was very clean, which made people not uncomfortable at all.
Xiaocheng asked Song Kai to sit down in the living room. The sofa was still the kind of sponge spring in those years. A cup of hot tea was handed to his hand. Song Kai took a sip and couldn't help smashing his mouth a few times. The taste of nostalgia. Isn't this the kind that Mr. Meng drinks every time, a few yuan a catty of tea.
"Do you need my help?" After drinking tea, Song Kai couldn't sit still. This was the girl's house again. Song Kai was embarrassed to wander around, so he ran to the kitchen and asked.
" Come on, can you cook? Go and sit outside!" Xiaocheng said angrily and pushed Song Kai out of the kitchen. Song Kai has been cooking since he was a child. He can't cook anywhere, but he can't get around Xiaocheng, so he has to wait obediently.
In less than half an hour, Xiaocheng was busy. Tomato and egg soup, fried tofu, shredded beef with green pepper, and three kinds of dishes were fragrant, and Song Kai was not polite. He picked up the rice bowl and took a bite, picked up a piece of tofu, and his eyes suddenly widened. The taste was really delicious!
When following Mr. Meng, the old guy didn't know how to cook. He let Song Kai do it. Song Kai picked up the simplest thing every time. Anyway, he was full. This fried tofu, a bad tofu will be scattered. Song Kai can't stand this annoyance. He has never done it.
After coming to Gusu City, it has gradually developed. The food is full of big fish and big meat. Even if you occasionally order tofu, it is also Mapo tofu and so on. I really haven't eaten fried tofu.
"That's right, damn it, it's really good!" Song Kai was stunned and even sweared.
Xiaocheng stared at him, but he was also very happy. In the past, no matter how delicious he cooked, he ate it by himself. Now someone eats it together and praises it. This feeling has never been felt since my brother went there.
Thinking of his brother, Xiaocheng couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and Song Kai's figure in front of him seemed to have slowly become his brother. But Song Kai is Song Kai. When Xiaocheng looks at it carefully, it is still Song Kai.
"He is not my brother after all..." Xiaocheng said in his heart, and he also felt that the food was tasteless.
After all, Song Kai is a congenital strong man. He has long realized that something was wrong with Xiaocheng and immediately said, "Why don't you eat it? If you don't eat it again, I will eat it all!"
"Thank you for doing it. If you eat it all, it's okay!" Xiao Cheng reluctantly laughed.
"How can that work? Eating alone is the most boring. Come on, this shredded beef, I have to say, it's great. Compared with the chefs of those big hotels, it's all better!" Song Kai said with a smile, taking a large chopstick and shredded beef into Xiaocheng's bowl.
"Eating alone is the most boring. Yes, it feels really good to have such a person to eat with..." Xiaocheng looked at the shredded beef in the bowl, and a trace of warmth appeared in his heart. His eyes looking at Song Kai were also much softer and gentler, and he began to eat sweetly.
Song Kai didn't mean to save at all. For a plate of tofu, Xiaocheng ate two or three pieces, and the rest were in his stomach. More than half of the bowl of tomato and egg soup was drunk by Song Kai. The shredded beef was okay, and he only ate half of it.
Xiaocheng originally planned that if there were leftovers, she could only eat for two days. Unexpectedly, there was only half a plate of shredded beef left, and she also ate a lot. It seems that it will be good tomorrow.
"Well, I'm so full, it's so cool!" Song Kaixin praised with satisfaction and took out a cigarette to light it. Before he took a sip, he suddenly stretched out a hand next to him and grabbed it: "You still smoke. Is the cigarette very cheap? The room smells of smoke. Why don't you quit soon!"
Song Kai was stunned, where is this? Then he found that Xiaocheng was also stunned, and then his eyes were slightly red. He handed the cigarette to Song Kai and said, "I'm sorry, I... I suddenly regarded you as my brother. In the past, he also liked to smoke after dinner, and I was told many times..."
"Well, this... It's okay. It's okay. I won't smoke." Song Kai smiled awkwardly and threw the cigarette into the toilet.
After returning, he found that Xiaocheng had stabilized his mood, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and wiped the table. A cup of tea that made Song Kai nostalgic was handed to Song Kai again.
Song Kai drank some tea and knew in his heart that Xiaocheng was living a very hard life, so he pretended to be casually and asked, "Xiaocheng, the salary of the traffic police is not high. Why don't you find another job? I can help you find it."
"No, I just want to be a traffic policeman." Xiao Cheng shook his head,
"Okay, then continue to be a traffic policeman." Song Kai shook his head helplessly. Because of his family's affairs, Xiaocheng just wanted to be a traffic policeman, and there was nothing he could do. However, he really didn't want to see Xiaocheng work so hard, so he continued, "Then do you want to change your place to live? It's too far from where you work!"
