Chapter 12 My favorite is braised beef
Holding up a pair of chopsticks, Zhou Lixing pointed at the bowl of braised beef noodles in front of him, whether he wanted to do it or not.
He quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Xiu who was sitting opposite him.
"Why, not to your taste?"
Sensing Zhou Lixing's gaze, Ye Xiu, who was looking at the menu of the small restaurant, put down the table sign in his hand, and made a gesture to raise his hand to call for the waiter.
"Ehhh, no."
Zhou Lixing hastily inserted his chopsticks into the noodles and stirred them together. The beef that was originally spread on the top layer slid to the bottom of the bowl with his stirring force, and was submerged in the brown soup.
He tentatively picked up a chopstick of noodles, opened his mouth and leaned forward to take a sip.
The small restaurant that Ye Xiu brought him to was not that big, and there weren't too many customers there, but the noodles in the restaurant tasted really good, and the ingredients were good enough. When a bowl of normal braised beef noodles was served, it was covered with The amount of beef toppings almost drowned out the noodles underneath.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lixing went down with his chopsticks and rummaged through it, picked up a piece of beef, and stuffed it into his mouth decisively.
Well, it's delicious.
His eyes lit up, and he took another slice of noodles with his chopsticks. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he didn't expect that when he raised his eyes, he saw Ye Xiu who was looking at him with his cheek resting on the opposite side.
Zhou Lixing's chewing movement stopped instantly.
"That...Brother Ye Xiu?"
He swallowed what was in his mouth, and called out to the other party weakly.
"Well, what?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiu curled his eyelashes and smiled at him.
"It's delicious."
Zhou Lixing couldn't tell for a while whether the other party was teasing him, or if there were other meanings in it.He smiled at the other party embarrassingly, and blinked twice quickly with some embarrassment.
"Brother Ye Xiu, won't you eat?"
The situation where one person is eating and the other is watching is too embarrassing.This is also the reason why Zhou Lixing didn't move his chopsticks immediately before. He thought that Ye Xiu would also order a dinner to accompany him, but the current situation is that it is difficult for him to raise his chopsticks under the subtle scrutiny of the other party.
"Oh, didn't you buy dinner here? I'll go back to the Internet cafe to eat later."
Ye Xiu nodded to the stack of fast food boxes that he put aside, then raised his chin towards Zhou Lixing.
"How about it? The braised beef noodles in this restaurant taste pretty good, right? I've eaten here for many years, and the surrounding restaurants either closed or cut down on the ingredients. This is the only one. It's still the same price after so many years, and there are more toppings, especially Affordable."
Zhou Lixing thought of the chunks of beef buried under his face, and nodded sincerely.
"However, Brother Ye Xiu, if you don't go back soon...won't the takeaway be cold?"
Hangzhou is now in the depths of winter. Even if the air conditioner is turned on in the small restaurant, the food will still slowly cool down. If you go outside and blow the air, when you return to the Internet cafe, everything inside must be completely cold.
"And it's quite late now, sister Chen and the others are still waiting, right? Why don't you, brother Ye Xiu..."
"So why don't you eat quickly?"
Ye Xiu touched his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. He wanted to smoke, but he thought about Zhou Lixing who was eating opposite him. After struggling for a long time, he still put the soft-shell cigarettes back.
There are bongs everywhere in the internet cafe, so it's fine for him to smoke a cigarette on the night shift, but now the opposite person is still a child and eating, so it would be very inappropriate for him to smoke in this situation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu forcibly suppressed his desire to smoke. While comforting himself, he thought that he was caring for the good seedlings and honoring the good flowers of the motherland.
Looking at Zhou Lixing's usual behavior, one can tell that he is a good boy, he is polite in dealing with others, he calls everyone brother or sister, there is no flattering meaning, just like the little brother next door, introduced by his parents Make it look like when you are playing with new friends.
However, in Ye Xiu's eyes, his behavior was not so much a natural cuteness as a deliberate alienation.
It's no wonder, Ye Xiu looked at Zhou Lixing who was sipping noodles with lowered brows, and said in his heart, after all, he was a loner, so it was understandable that he should be on guard.
Southerners are generally more introverted than northerners. When he ran away from home alone, he didn't care about anything. How could he earn money in a serious manner like Zhou Lixing, and still think about his future studies?
Been crazy about the game for a long time.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh.He let out a long sigh, and it was no surprise that he caught the attention of Zhou Lixing, who was struggling to eat noodles.
The little boy raised half of his face from the bowl, still holding half of the noodles in his mouth.He just raised his eyes to look at Ye Xiu who suddenly became a little sentimental for Qiu for some reason, his eyes were round and round, and he unconsciously put on a rather innocent expression.
When Ye Xiu saw the other party looking at him, he also looked back.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when he saw it, he suddenly felt as if his eyes were dazzled.Why did he feel that Zhou Lixing's gesture of raising his eyes and looking at people just now had the charm of Zhou Zekai?
He blinked his eyes a little blankly, and his gaze swept Zhou Lixing's face back and forth repeatedly, until the other party fidgeted and blushed.
"that……"
Zhou Lixing didn't quite understand why Ye Xiu suddenly looked at him that way.He moved his butt a little uneasily, holding the chopsticks in his hand, not knowing whether he should continue to eat the noodles under the scrutiny of the other party, or just put down the chopsticks simply and say, I'm done.
But if it is said that it is good to eat, I am not reconciled.There are still a lot of beef cubes soaked under the noodles, which must be more flavorful after dipping in the soup, so I can't bear it.
He was so entangled, he raised his entire face, and looked at Ye Xiu who was facing him a little nervously.
"Ah, it's okay, you eat, eat."
Ye Xiu leaned back and raised his hand to signal that he was fine.
It must be that Zhou Zekai's recent advertisements are too brainwashing.Comparing the faces of Zhou Zekai and Zhou Lixing in his mind, he thought with such certainty.
These two don't look alike at all.Zhou Zekai is handsome, while Zhou Lixing is more refined. When he grows up, he will probably develop a more neutral and soft style, which is completely different from Zhou Zekai's standard handsome man.
However, the names of these two surnames Zhou are still in conflict. Li Gua is against Ze Gua, and running script matches regular script, which is also an interesting coincidence.
Ye Xiu sneaked a glance at Zhou Lixing who went to drink the soup again.He watched the other party stuff the beef into his mouth piece by piece like a little hamster, and after chewing, he unconsciously showed a satisfied smile, and suddenly felt that the other party's little expression was quite cute.
This is how he looks like a child. He was polite like a middle-aged old man in the Internet cafe before, not good.
"I, I'm done eating."
While Ye Xiu was running the train in his mind, Zhou Lixing had already finished the soup.There were only a few peppercorns and fragrant leaves left at the bottom of the bowl, other than that, there was not even a piece of beef scraps left.
Yes, a little supportive.
Zhou Li reached down without a trace and rubbed his stomach, then groaned in pain.
Before meeting Ye Xiu just now, he had already eaten a steamed stuffed bun. Although children who are growing up are easy to get hungry, Zhou Lixing's appetite has never been big.Although it is not small enough to be ridiculed as "cat appetite" by others, it is considered a relatively small appetite among people of the same age.
If it wasn't for Ye Xiu's treat this time, he wouldn't force himself to eat the whole bowl of noodles.After all, it was bought with other people's money, and it was someone else's wish. He couldn't just waste it like this for nothing.
Zhou Lixing felt the pain of being stretched in his stomach, but there was no bad expression on his face.Ye Xiu saw that the bowl was eaten upside down by the other party, and suddenly laughed.
"It's delicious."
He said: "Now the old store's products are still reliable, and this is what a friend of mine brought me here before. Sure enough, if you want to eat delicious food, you have to find a local to lead the way. The reviews on the Internet are not reliable now. It's all internet celebrities."
Zhou Lixing nodded.
He thought about it, and replied courteously: "If there is a chance in the future, brother Ye Xiu goes to Shanghai, I will also take you to eat delicious food."
"Yo, that's great, please don't treat me."
Ye Xiu smiled and made a joke at Zhou Lixing.
Zhou Lixing said "Yes" very seriously, and immediately amused the reserved Ye Xiu who was still smiling.
"Kids are quite generous, okay, I will follow you when I go to Shanghai."
He touched his pocket, then picked up the takeaway box beside him, and called Zhou Lixing to go back to the Internet cafe together.
"You don't know."
After pushing open the door and letting Zhou Lixing go out first, Ye Xiu followed and left the small shop.
He walked side by side with Zhou Lixing, and while pacing, he told him about the competition in Shanghai.
"Team Samsara, you should know, their team captain and your family are also named Zhou... that little Zhou, he plays the game pretty well, but he doesn't talk very much. Every time he goes to compete with them, he can't compete He said ten words, let alone asking him to bring a treat to dinner."
"It's okay this time, next time I go to Shanghai to play a game, I don't need to ask him to recommend food when I meet Mucheng."
He turned his head towards Zhou Lixing and joked, "There's a little Zhou over here."
Zhou Lixing laughed twice: "I even forgot that Ye Xiu, you were going to Shanghai to play a game... Well, maybe you know a lot more places to eat than I do."
After all, what he knew was the food distribution map from nearly ten years ago, and it was limited to those near his home.After so many years, the speed of urban renovation in Shanghai will definitely be faster than he imagined. It is not guaranteed that their old house will be demolished.
But I really didn't expect that my brother would actually play games.
Zhou Lixing followed Ye Xiu, and when he was standing on the edge of the sidewalk waiting for the traffic light, he unconsciously glanced at the huge poster hanging on the outer wall of M.
According to his personality, seeing so many of his own faces plastered all over the streets, he must be ashamed and don't want to go out, right?
No, I can't say for sure.
He shook his head to himself, and suddenly felt a little complicated in his heart.
His younger brother, who was shy and shy since he was a child, ran out to answer commercials and play games. Maybe time can really change everything.
Once again, Zhou Lixing realized that he was in an untimely situation.
