Last time, they had a hot pot buffet. This time, Xu Qing didn't take her to eat the same thing.
There were too many good things that Jiang He hadn't experienced before. It would be a waste if she had to repeat the last time.
"Sir, how many?"
"Two."
Xu Qing held Jiang He's hand while talking to the waiter. They turned to look at the restaurant.
Different from the steaming hot pot last time, there was a stove on the table, and it was much more popular than the hot pot restaurant last time.
"You can eat whatever you want. You take it, I'll roast it."
After paying the bill and taking the receipt, Xu Qing whispered to her and handed two receipts to her. "Let's see how lucky you are."
"What's this?"
"It's scratching. You might win … I didn't expect to see this kind of receipt now."
He demonstrated with the remaining ones in his hand. "See this place? You can scratch it. If you win the big prize … Hey, you don't win. Scratch it and see what you get."
"Is this a prize?" Jiang He copied him and scratched the two pieces. She compared them carefully but didn't understand, so she handed them to him.
"You won." Xu Qing raised his eyebrows.
"What prize did you win?" Jiang He was surprised.
"Congratulations on winning the third prize. You can put your hand in my pocket to keep warm."
"…"
The waiter passing by was shocked. What a shameless guy!
"Go get something to eat. Take whatever you like. Don't take a bunch of vegetables like last time. Pick what you like."
Xu Qing was just joking. He didn't intend to lie to her. After washing the dishes, he took her to find food.
The winning rate of this kind of thing was not as high as the lottery. It was just for fun.
But it seemed to be a good way to attract repeat customers … As long as this meal didn't make him unhappy, he would definitely have an impression of this place if he came to Jiang City Square for a meal again.
"What meat is this?"
"Beef. You ate it at the hot pot last time … Oh, I was the one who took it. Didn't you know?"
The last time they had eaten hotpot, Jiang He was still a little reserved. She took a lot of vegetables, and most of the meat was taken by Xu Qing. She only cared about eating.
"Awesome …" Jiang He didn't know what was bothering him. He stretched out his hand and hesitated.
"If you want to eat, take it. It's pretty good." Xu Qing looked around and whispered to her, "No one caught you."
If he remembered correctly, she was forbidden to kill cows at that time.
The official's private horses and oxen were of great use. Oxen were the foundation of farming, horses were used to supply the army. Therefore, those who killed oxen would be imprisoned for a year and a half. Killing oxen would result in a year and a half in jail, which was about the same as catching a bird.
"I know." Jiang He shook his head and finally stopped hesitating. He picked up a plate of beef and prepared to taste it. "I just … remembered something."
"Miss Second Mother?"
"Yes."
"She'll be happy for you. You came here to enjoy life. Don't think about sharing half … No one deserves half of your happiness. Go out and eat to your heart's content."
"One plate is enough."
Seeing that Jiang He didn't want to take more, Xu Qing didn't say anything more. Some things couldn't be changed in a short period of time.
When she really tasted good, maybe he wouldn't think so much.
"Is the prawn delicious?" he asked.
"Delicious."
"Then I'll take one more plate."
Xu Qing, who had already figured out Jiang He's behavior pattern, was very good at this. He didn't ask her if she wanted to eat, but only asked if it was delicious. He didn't care about trouble or anything else.
Anyway, Jiang He only cared about eating.
When the two of them had barbecue, he was the barbecue chef.
The beef and streaky pork made a slight sizzling sound in the barbecue pot with wisps of smoke. When the meat turned yellow, the aroma began to float out.
"I think it's better to cook." Jiang He expressed his opinion after realizing that this restaurant was different from the last time.
"It cooks faster?"
"Yes. You can just throw it in. You don't have to do it like this all the time."
"Eating in a different way is also a kind of pleasure. You, a martial arts practitioner, are still impatient. You're not as good as me … Calm down and try to enjoy it. Don't just fill your stomach."
Xu Qing pointed outside the window with a pair of tongs and said, "It's so cold outside. We hide in the house to keep warm and roast our favorite food to eat. This is called enjoying life. Just like holding hands, it's also a kind of experience.
I told you before we went out that people live to experience all kinds of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. Try those things that you haven't tasted and try to like them. You'll feel much more relaxed. "
He picked up the streaky pork and turned it over. This thin layer was cooked quickly. He put it into Jiang He's bowl and said, "Try it. You'll like it."
As they got to know each other better, Xu Qing was more aware of how long Jiang He had to learn. Many things that he was used to were difficult for Jiang He to understand.
Enjoying life was not something that could be done just because one wanted to. Some habits were very hard to change.
Just like those uncles and aunties who owned tens of millions of real estate, they hid their identities and went to small companies to work as cleaners. It was not to experience life, but because they really wanted to do it.
There were some things that penetrated deep into one's bones and marrow.
Fortunately, she was young and had a strong ability to accept, so it was not so deep.
"Why aren't you eating?" Jiang He ate two slices in a row, but she saw that Xu Qing was just roasting.
"Have you forgotten your appetite?" Xu Qing smiled at her, lowered his head, and used the tongs to flip through everything that needed to be flipped. "You eat three, and I'll eat one. It's just right."
"I'll roast it."
"Your roast is not as good as mine … Come, one for you and one for me."
After dividing the two slices of roasted meat, he lowered his head and took a bite. Then he looked at Jiang He, who was blowing on the meat, and a smile appeared on his face.
It was good to like someone.
"What are you looking at?"
"You."
"…"
Seeing that Jiang He lowered her head, Xu Qing did not tease her anymore and continued to cook his Imperial Grilled Meat Guard … Ahem, I got sidetracked. After he was done, he added a few prawns on the stove and looked away.
"This shop is not bad … Do you want that?"
He pointed at the toys on the shelf by the bar counter. Most of them were furry dolls, and there were also some small plastic people.
"No."
"It's free."
"So good?" Jiang He couldn't help but look over there.
Free … Who wouldn't like it?
"There's a CD promotion … When we finish eating and leave, if all the plates are empty, they will give us a gift." Xu Qing saw the introduction on the flyer when he entered the shop. "With you around, it's safe."
"Then I'll take one."
"I want two, but they won't give me. One per table."
No matter if it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, girls might not have much resistance to this kind of plush toys?
When Xu Qing saw her expression, the image of a cold-blooded heroine with great skills appeared in her mind. After a fight, she sheathed her sword and took out a stuffed bear to hug …
It was a little cute.
"Jiang He."
"Yes?"
"You're very cute." Xu Qing lowered his voice.
"…"
Jiang He lowered her head and ate the meat, ignoring him.
