That night, Xie Qingxiao naturally didn't even get to eat the minced meat.
The next day, Zhang Pengfei came to the store and saw the back of the person standing in front of the braised food display cabinet with his back to the door. He was surprised and said:
"Brother Xiao, I wanted to come over and try my luck to see if you were here. I didn't expect you to be here. Ever since I married my wife, I've been so lucky!"
When Xie Qingxiao heard the second half of the sentence: "..." He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Pengfei indifferently, his face was rosy and radiant, and a dark red mark was faintly visible under his collarbone.
It seems that this kid has been living a comfortable life these days!
"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Pengfei leaned over and saw Xie Qingxiao holding a tape measure and measuring the display cabinet.
"Measure the size."
"What are you measuring for?"
Xie Qingxiao: "Long Fei wants to open a braised food store, and he wants the display cabinets to be of our style. I'll just measure it." The display cabinets of the braised food store were all made according to the drawings drawn by Lin Xiangyi and given to the carpenters.
"Then why don't you just go home and ask your sister-in-law?" Zhang Pengfei was puzzled. Wouldn't it be faster to go home and ask his sister-in-law directly that night?
Xie Qingxiao froze for a moment. After his mother left last night, his wife not only refused to give him the money, but also got angry with him...
"Could it be," Zhang Pengfei looked at Xie Qingxiao's expression and guessed, "You didn't quarrel with your sister-in-law...hiss?"
"What the hell are you doing?" Xie Qingxiao raised his hand and slapped him on the head. "Didn't I tell you to just do a random test? Go back home tonight and ask your sister-in-law."
He threw the measuring tape in his hand away and said, "No more measurement."
Zhang Pengfei: “…” He’s still angry, it seems they really had a fight!
Xie Qingxiao turned around to look through the bag he had brought in the morning and asked casually, "Aren't you on vacation? What are you doing here? Are you bored? Do you want to come back to work?"
It seemed as if if Zhang Pengfei said yes, he would let him come back to work tomorrow.
"No, no, no," Zhang Pengfei denied hastily. Although he was on vacation, his wife was not. He really had nothing to do before his wife got off work every day. But the vacation he had finally waited for was not even half over. How could he let his skin-peeling brother Xiao take it back like that?
When he is bored and has nothing to do, it is good to wash his hands, cook soup and wait for his wife to come home from get off work to eat:
"Yes, I'm a little free, but I'm not bored at all! Isn't it lunch time? I thought it would be boring for you to eat alone, so I planned to treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant!"
In fact, Shen Xiaolan was having lunch at the company and he had no one to accompany him, so he came to find Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao knew what he was thinking without thinking. He took out the steamed buns he bought from the state-owned restaurant in the morning from his bag and ruthlessly refused: "Sorry, I have already found my lunch."
He didn't go home for lunch, and he didn't care about being alone. He would just stop by a state-owned restaurant and buy a few steamed buns to make a meal.
As he spoke, he picked up the kettle and planned to boil some water to eat with the steamed buns.
"Just eating steamed buns? That won't do. The nutrition is so unbalanced. My sister-in-law will be distressed if she sees it!" Zhang Pengfei said immediately:
"Brother, you earn a lot now. It's really unfair to eat so poorly! Come on, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat! We are not very busy now, we have to take good care of our bodies!"
As he said that, he snatched the kettle from Xie Qingxiao's hand, put it down, rewrapped his bun, and pushed him out.
"..." Xie Qingxiao laughed and cursed: "Zhang Pengfei, you are so arrogant that you even look down on white flour buns."
White flour steamed buns are a very precious food nowadays. Many families in the countryside can only afford to eat them during the New Year and other festivals. When they were in school, they couldn’t even afford to eat them if they wanted to.
"Hehe, it's not that I look down on you. I just think that you should eat more meat now. We won't waste the white flour buns. So, when we go to the state-owned restaurant later, I won't order rice. These white flour buns will be our staple food!"
…
"... Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, twice-cooked pork with onions, and braised sea bass. Also, please order a vegetarian dish. You will get sick of eating too much meat," Xie Qingxiao said to Zhang Pengfei while holding the menu.
He ordered all the signature dishes of the state-owned restaurant.
Zhang Pengfei felt heartbroken.
Although he earns a lot of money now, he still has to save money to support his wife! Brother Xiao earns much more than him, why is he still cheating him like this?
He quickly said, "Xiao, Brother Xiao, you ordered so much, we can't finish it."
Xie Qingxiao was very calculating: "It's okay, I can pack it up and take it back for your godfather, godmother and sister-in-law." Zhang Pengfei rarely treated him to a meal, so how could he be polite to him?
Zhang Pengfei: "..." So he was taking revenge on him for forcing him to come to the state-owned restaurant? What a sin, I should have known not to bring him here! ”
After a while, the dishes were served one after another.
Not many people can afford to order so many delicious dishes. Even if they do, they are VIPs of a state-owned restaurant and sit in a private room.
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei were sitting outside the lobby, causing guests at other tables to look at them frequently.
The waiter had to come over and ask them subtly if they could finish their food. It is shameful to waste food if you can't finish it.
She was relieved when Xie Qingxiao told her that they were going to pack up, and went to get them the packing tools.
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei put the dishes they were going to pack aside, picked up two dishes and started eating, chatting while eating, and the two brothers didn't pay much attention to the discussions around them.
Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui arrived at the state-owned hotel at this time, and at a glance they saw Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei who had become the focus of the lobby.
"Xie Qingxiao is really making money from his business. He ordered so much food for two people!" Lin Huihui said sourly as she looked at the delicacies on their table.
Lu Dingyuan looked at Xie Qingxiao's handsome face, his eyes flashing with disgust: "He squandered the money he earned. He is indeed a scoundrel who is not worthy of being on the stage! Xiangyi is marrying a man like this, it's really a waste of flowers!"
Lin Huihui was startled: "Brother Dingyuan, what did you say?"
Flowers stuck in cow dung? Does Lu Dingyuan think that Lin Xiangyi is a flower?
It was true that he disliked Xie Qingxiao in the past, but he also disliked Lin Xiangyi, and even scolded them for being birds of a feather!
He actually thinks Lin Xiangyi is a flower now?
Lu Dingyuan also reacted.
He himself didn't know when Lin Xiangyi's image started to improve.
Obviously, he always thought she was vicious and always bullied Huihui...
"It's okay, I was wrong just now," Lu Dingyuan said unnaturally, walking towards the windowsill to hide his inner panic and uneasiness.
When did he start to feel that Lin Xiangyi wasn't that bad after all, and even thought she was pretty good?
Lin Huihui followed in confusion.
When it was their turn to buy food, Lu Dingyuan stood in front and said to the waiter, "I want one stir-fried pork with beans and one stir-fried cabbage... plus one braised pork and one twice-cooked pork."
