Chapter 1163 This is really a pillow for those who are sleepy
As soon as I arrived at the door of the guesthouse, I saw Secretary Xu and Wan Qing standing together talking.
Secretary Xu turned his head and met Chuxue's eyes. An unnatural look flashed across his face and he raised his hand to make Wan Qing shut up.
It’s easy to guess why Wan Qing stopped Secretary Xu.
Chu Xue nodded to Secretary Xu and walked straight into the guesthouse.
As soon as I entered, the lady at the front desk greeted me with a smile: "Sister, you are back. Do you need any help?"
But she knew that this girl was a loose-handed person, and that this person was about to leave, so there would be no chance in the future.
Chu Xue smiled sweetly and looked at her elder sister: "Elder sister, no need, it looks heavy, but it's actually not that heavy."
But he lowered his voice and said, "Our captain asked the kitchen to process the seafood. I'll give you a spoonful of stewed fish later. It's delicious with rice."
The receptionist didn't expect such a good thing to happen. She smiled and said, "Thank you so much, sister."
Having said that, without caring whether Chuxue needed it or not, he walked out quickly, took a few things from Chuxue's hand, and the two of them went upstairs while talking.
After putting the things away, Chuxue whispered, "I'll come downstairs and call you later."
The lady at the front desk understood immediately: "Okay."
Thinking about going back tomorrow, Chuxue directly took out a new handbag from the space. Anyway, she had been shopping for the whole morning and no one knew what she bought.
He packed his things one by one, zipped them up and put them together with his original luggage, marked them, and then took his lunch box out.
As soon as he left the house, he ran into Mi Aijun and Zhang Chunsheng, who had also come out with their lunch boxes. "Brother Mi, Brother Zhang, you're back too?"
Zhang Chunsheng was a lively man, with a smile on his face: "If you're not active in eating, there's something wrong with your thinking. Not to mention that the chef in the guesthouse has inherited his skills from his ancestors, so naturally you have to come back early."
Mi Aijun and Chu Xue both laughed when they heard him say that.
When the three of them reached the first floor, chatting and laughing, Secretary Xu was walking upstairs: "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
The three of them lived in the same room, so they acted together today, but as soon as they came back, Secretary Xu was stopped by Wan Qing.
Zhang Chunsheng saw him running upstairs: "We should walk slowly, you should go faster."
No one else can compare to the affection between Zhang Chunsheng and his friends and Chuxue. After all, they have experienced the test of life and death. So they are a little unhappy that Secretary Xu and Wan Qing can chat for so long. They have consciously stood on Chuxue's side.
Secretary Xu didn't wait for him, but he did wait for Lao Zhou, Zhang Aiguo, and Qian Silin. The six of them entered the guesthouse cafeteria together.
As soon as they showed up, someone came up to greet them, "You're finally here, hurry up, or everyone will take over the kitchen."
As he said this, he glanced at the people eating at the tables outside.
Thinking that Director Xu would be arriving soon, Captain Zhou said directly, "Let's serve the food. We've been craving this all morning."
The captain looked directly at Chuxue: "You go find a seat, we'll serve the food."
Chuxue brought back mostly fish, so most of the dishes served were fish-based: steamed mullet, pomfret soaked in lard, braised anchovy, blue crab vermicelli casserole, steamed blue crab, fried oysters, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, a large pot of stewed miscellaneous fish, and finally a pot of blue crab porridge.
Today everyone asked for rice, and everyone looked like they were going to have a big meal.
As soon as they got together, the lady at the front desk walked in.
Chuxue noticed the person with her sharp eyes and waved at her.
When the person came closer, she took the lunch box from her elder sister, scooped a large spoonful of stewed fish for her with the spoon in the stewed fish bowl, and picked up a blue crab for him, then handed the lunch box back.
The elder sister thanked Chuxue with a smile, said goodbye to everyone and left.
At this time, Secretary Xu also arrived.
Everyone looked behind him. Captain Zhou frowned and asked, "Where's Wan Qing?"
Secretary Xu coughed lightly and said, "She said her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't come down to eat."
Without thinking, everyone could guess that she was too embarrassed to do so, but no one made any fuss.
Knowing Chuxue and Wanqing didn't get along, and without even asking her to go up and take a look, Captain Zhou said to everyone, "It's fate that we're all here at the Canton Fair together. Thanks to Chuxue, today we'll treat this as a reward for everyone's hard work this month. Come on, don't wait any longer, start eating! I'm dying of greed."
Chuxue didn't expect that Captain Zhou was so serious at the beginning, but changed his tone directly later.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively. After Captain Zhou finished his fish stew, he remembered that the guesthouse cafeteria sold Guang's pineapple beer and Asian Shashi. He looked at Zhang Aiguo and said, "It would be a shame not to drink some of these delicious dishes. However, we shouldn't drink liquor while on a business trip, so let's have some pineapple beer and give Chuxue a bottle of Shashi."
Zhang Aiguo had wanted to try pineapple beer for a long time, but he was reluctant to pay for it out of his own pocket. Now that the master had spoken, he naturally did not waste a moment and got up and ran over.
Steamed mullet retains its original flavor; pomfret soaked in lard has delicate flesh, crispy skin, and tender inside; braised anchovy has a rich and fragrant flavor; steamed blue crab with the chef's homemade dipping sauce is so fresh that you can't stop eating; blue crab and vermicelli casserole is made by first pan-frying crab pieces until fragrant, then adding ginger and scallions, adding soaked vermicelli, adding broth and seasonings, and finally sprinkling with pepper before serving. It is fresh, fragrant, rich, and smooth.
The oyster omelet was fresh, fragrant, and delicious with rich layers of flavor; the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli were fresh, fragrant, and tender, with the freshness of the scallops and the aroma of the garlic blending perfectly, and the vermicelli absorbing all the essence, making it irresistible; even the stewed mixed fish was so satisfying that everyone exclaimed how delicious it was. This chef's skills are truly remarkable.
Served with a pot of sweet, fragrant, light yet not bland blue crab porridge, this meal made everyone reminisce for years to come.
The fragrance almost made everyone else eating in the cafeteria dizzy, and they kept looking over here out of greed. Fortunately, Chuxue chose a corner, otherwise she would have become the target of everyone's criticism.
Everyone ate and drank their fill, and their relationships improved a lot.
Wan Qing was not in the room when Chuxue returned. After a short rest, she went out again. She still had a lot of local food coupons in her hand, so she naturally couldn't waste them. She saw chicken biscuits, wife cakes, fried rice cakes, and water chestnut cakes for sale, so she changed the packaging several times and bought a lot of them. In addition to giving them to others, she could also keep them for herself to eat slowly.
Thinking that I had important things to do in the evening, I returned to the guesthouse early.
As a result, after entering the room, Wan Qing didn't know what was going on. It was like a pillow appearing when you are sleepy. Chu Xue took the opportunity to quarrel with her for a few words, and then hurried to the front desk to book another room, which just solved the problem of going out tonight.
Now the soundproofing of this house is not good, so what happened in the room was soon known to the team leader Lao Zhou and several people in the other room. They were even more disgusted with Wan Qing's unreasonable nature of looking for trouble.
If Chuxue hadn't said that she was going back tomorrow, there would be no need to argue with her. I'm afraid everyone would have wanted to scold her to vent their anger.
Chuxue naturally didn't have such kind intentions. She just had to go out at night and wanted to go back to her room to catch up on some sleep. She didn't want to lose the big picture for the small one and not have the energy to deal with it at night.
