In ancient times, poets drank Du Kang to relieve their sorrows. Today, Fang Zhenyue drinks tea to relieve his worries.
In Yi Ji, Fang Zhenyue treated Sanfu and others to a big meal. After sending the agents away, he stayed in Yi Ji to drink tea, one cup after another, and tried almost all the drinks on the Yi Ji menu. Yi
Ji sent away wave after wave of guests, but Fang Zhenyue was still there.
The line in front of Ding Baoshu to buy iced drinks was getting shorter. Jiaru helped to collect the bill, turned around to look at Fang Zhenyue, and couldn't help whispering:
"Brother Yue, are you not going to sleep in this life?"
If he drank more, he would be pickled by the tea.
"Brother Yue, if you have something to tell your elder sister, I can tell her. Or I'll ask her to call you when she comes back." When Jiajun was helping to clear the table, he saw Fang Zhenyue sitting there eating supper and drinking tea, looking a little lonely, so he pulled a small stool and sat next to him, just like a sensible little adult who would accompany guests at home.
"Nothing, I'm not waiting for your elder sister." Fang Zhenyue raised his eyelids and quickly denied it.
Then he said:
"The case has been solved, and my career will change greatly. I want to calm down in the bustling city and think about the future direction."
Jiajun nodded seriously, as if he understood.
"I understand. When a person thinks about life in a truly quiet place, he will feel lonely. In such an environment, can he touch the deepest part of his heart?"
Fang Zhenyue couldn't help laughing, "You have been reading a lot recently, right?"
"Yes, the school has listed a lot of famous books, and I have been reading them seriously." Yi Jiajun nodded, "But I have been taking exams recently, and my reading tasks have fallen behind a lot."
Two people, one big and one small, sat at a small round table outside the door of Yiji Shop, talking seriously about life and ideals.
One mentioned that although he was promoted, he had to leave his familiar teammates, and there were always some messy emotions in his heart that needed to be resolved.
The other advised that there is no banquet that will last forever, and asked Brother Yue to be at ease.
One of them said that he was not well prepared for the exam and was afraid that his grades would not be ideal.
The other one started to explain that Jiajun's "learning career" had just begun, and he would slowly master his learning skills and become proficient once he got on track. He should not take the gains and losses of a test too seriously.
The two chatted and even raised their teacups to clink.
When drinking, Jiajun imitated the way adults drink, holding the cup and drinking it all in one gulp.
Fang Zhenyue hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Jiajun's wrist and advised:
"Drink slowly, don't get drunk."
"I know what I'm doing, don't worry, Brother Yue." Jiajun picked up the teapot and filled it for the two of them.
Jiaru walked past the two of them carrying a specially prepared milk tea with ingredients. When she heard these absurd conversations, her facial features wrinkled.
What kind of creatures are men? A
12-year-old doesn't look like a 12-year-old, and a 28-year-old doesn't look like a 28-year-old... If she hadn't served the tea, she would have really thought they were drinking!
Adults and minors, they are all childish!
Fang Zhenyue finally had enough tea until Tannen sent Jiayi back to Yi Ji. After
saying hello to Tannen and Jiayi, he got up and went to the bathroom at the back of the house.
Tannen walked into the shop and peeked in, asking if there were any cooked and drunken crabs today.
Sun Xin shook his head and said, "They are all sold out before 8pm. Inspector T, please make reservations earlier next time and we will keep some for you."
"Are there any crabs left?" Tannen sighed with regret. He has been to Yiji several times and has never had cooked and drunken crabs.
"There are still crabs. Let me steam a few for you to try as a midnight snack?" Sun Xin walked up to Tannen and saw Jiayi was about to pour warm water from the thermos, so he walked over and picked up the thermos to help her pour it.
Now Jiayi and Ding Baoshu have formed a pair of finger contusion teams. Whenever they see Jiayi about to use her contused hand, they will always take the initiative to help.
"Okay, steam two." After sitting down, Tannen thought for a moment and then asked embarrassedly, "Can you give me a layer of the marinade for cooked and drunken crabs? I can dip the crabs in the marinade and eat them."
"...Okay."
So, when Fang Zhenyue walked out of the bathroom, wiping his hands and paying the bill, he saw Tannen sitting alone at a small table outside the shop, eating crabs and dipping the crab meat in the marinade for cooked and drunken crabs, and he seemed quite satisfied with the meal.
After Jiajun gave Fang Zhenyue the change, he stood behind the counter with his chin on his hand, looking at Tannen, and whispered softly:
"Alas, rich people are really pitiful, this one is even more pitiful than Brother Yue."
Fang Zhenyue walked out while putting change in his pocket: "..."
...
Walking out of the shop, passing by Jiayi who was drinking water from a cup, Fang Zhenyue looked at Tannen, who was concentrating on eating crabs, and his eyes did not seem to be secretly observing Jiayi.
Looking at Jiayi again, the female police officer drank the warm water in big gulps, turned around and told Sun Xin to put the lamb chops and other food she brought back from the restaurant in the refrigerator, and they could be fried with butter tomorrow. Jiayi did not seem to pay too much attention to Tannen.
Fang Zhenyue sneered to himself, took a deep breath, cheered up, and turned to chat with Jiayi:
"Tomorrow is a day off, what are your plans?"
"Go shopping, I want to go somewhere popular." Jiayi put down the empty cup. These days, I have been immersed in the underworld case day and night, and I urgently need to return to the world of the living to find some fun in the world of the living. "
Remember to apply for a driver's license." Fang Zhenyue patted her shoulder, turned around and said goodbye to others, and then strode towards the parking lot.
The night was humid, and Fang Zhenyue rolled up the sleeves of his white T-shirt to his shoulders, revealing his arms.
When walking quickly through the streets, there was a faint breeze blowing over his shoulders and arms, and the sweat hairs floated, but he didn't feel cool.
Jiayi walked around to the alley and watched the tall back of Brother Yue leave through the street, gradually getting smaller. Turning to Jiaru, she asked,
"Is Brother Yue coming for supper?"
"Yeah~" Jiaru shook her head, "He came during dinner, and kept drinking tea after dinner. He didn't put down the teapot until you came in."
"..." Jiayi stared at the end of the alley where Brother Yue was no longer there, stammered for a few seconds, and finally said nothing.
Jiaru patted her elder sister's shoulder, raised her eyebrows and sighed softly.
Silence is better than words at this moment.
……
……
Returning home at lightning speed, Fang Zhenyue could not help but slow down when passing the big bend of Shixun Road.
The green plants on the roadside were growing vigorously, branches stretched out, and new leaves sprouted. The traces of Zhao Dongsheng and Liu Xujie's escape and pursuit had been replaced by new vitality and could no longer be detected.
There is probably no land on this planet that has not buried life, but new vitality will always cover the past.
New stories replace old stories, and new gadgets created by fresh humans replace the traces of old humans.
Turning the steering wheel, Fang Zhenyue thought, the new Sarkon will also replace the old Sarkon.
Jiayi's future is so big, even if he can keep an eye on her today, can he keep an eye on her every day?
He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and flew back to the garage of his villa. He sat in the car for a while, listening to the deep bass of a man singing love songs on the car radio. He quietly recalled everything that happened after Jiayi joined Group B. Then he sighed and opened the car door to get out.
He washed up, drank hot water, turned on the TV, rubbed his temples and watched the reruns of good dramas from time to time. He sat until midnight and finally went upstairs to sleep in his slippers.
After lying on the bed for half an hour, Fang Liangzai still had his eyes wide open.
He felt inexplicably hot this night, unbuttoned four buttons of his pajamas, turned over and curled up slightly.
After another ten minutes, he found that he was just staring in a different direction.
He tossed and turned for a long time, but still had no sleepiness.
With his arms behind his head, he stared at the ceiling and thought:
This Yiji tea... is really powerful.
...
...
For Jiayi, it is such a rare thing to go out shopping and relax completely. When
a case is concluded, she can just play without any distractions, with money in her pocket and the sense of accomplishment brought by solving the previous case. It is really an indescribable happiness.
Of course, this time, Jiayi still holds her sister Jiaru by the hand.
The little girl, who is half a head shorter than herself, carries a big bag across her shoulder. The corners of the bag are worn and have holes, so she sews beautiful flowery patches on them. Not only that, the straps also have edges that Jiaru sewed herself with thick pink wool. Not only is it sturdy, it also looks very special and beautiful.
Jiaru is like this. Even when she is poor, she tries to live seriously and delicately. Before wearing pants and shirts, she would put them under the mattress and sleep with them pressed overnight. The next day, they would be as smooth as if they had been ironed. So even though she always wore her sister's discarded old clothes, she was the girl with the neatest clothes in the class.
Not only that, Jiaru would go to the bookstore to read, learn and memorize the techniques of braiding and combing hair. Even though she didn't have the money to quietly straighten her hair like her classmates, she could become the most fashionable and beautiful girl without spending any money.
Jiaru's outstanding attention to details was not only reflected in taking care of herself, but also in taking care of her family and her older siblings and younger brother.
Therefore, Jiajun's tennis racket is the most eye-catching in the class - Jiaru uses her nail polish to evenly paint on the old, faded and damaged racket shaft, making it look brand new again.
When the nail polish becomes stained, Jiaru will sit on the sofa to pick off the old nail polish, and then paint new colors and patterns.
In school, many people really think that Yi Jiajun changes his racket every week.
Therefore, when Jiayi was a clerk, there was an inner pocket on the inside of her uniform, right at the chest, which was a light pink lace-outlined inner pocket. Jiaru sewed it for her, saying that it could be used to hide some pocket money, and it was a secret place.
When the wall covering at the head of Jiayi's bed fell off, she would not see mottled spots when she looked up, but would see a few small sunflowers instead - Jiaru secretly used the acrylic painting method she learned in art class at school, and squatted on the wall after school to paint facing the picture.
Therefore, even the old things temporarily placed at the door of Yiji were tied with bows when the hemp ropes were tied.
Therefore, Yiji gave a paper towel folded into a heart shape for every cup of milk tea sold by Jiaru.
Therefore, every time Jiaru wiped the table and put it back in the kitchen, the rag was as square as a tofu block.
So, now Yi Jiayi, who went out with Jiaru, was carrying a completely unique plastic bag in her hand. Although it originally had a hole in it, Jiaru drew a smiley face on a small piece of paper, blocked the hole, and sealed it with transparent tape. After a makeover, it was not only no longer a plastic bag with a hole, but it became a plastic bag that smiled at passers-by.
Jiayi held her sister's hand and walked into the bookstore carrying the smiley bag.
The two sisters parted ways at the door of the bookstore, one turned to the fashion magazine area, and the other turned to the obscure textbook area.
Originally, she just wanted to buy a few books and leave, but she couldn't put the books down once she opened them. Jiayi leaned against the bookshelf and read for more than an hour. When her feet were sore, she realized that time passed so quickly.
She snapped shut the "Atlas of Corpse Transformation" in her hand, and picked up "Analysis of Top Unsolved Cases at Home and Abroad", "Forensic Report: What Death Teaches Us" and "Psychological Detective: FBI Autobiography".
After finding Jiaru, they settled the bill together for the books that the two sisters liked, plus a book "Learn Cantonese in a Week" for Sun Xin, 4 textbooks for Jiajun, 2 full English classics for Baoshu, and business books and recipes for the eldest brother.
When they were about to leave, Jiayi and Jiaru were talking to each other, and the two sisters came up with a good idea: put a bookshelf in the unused corner between the Yiji counter and the dining table.
Guests can read while dining, waiting for friends, waiting for food, or having afternoon tea alone.
Buy two books and put them in every month, and put a newspaper in every day, and it will gradually become a very objective reading corner.
When this small bookshelf can no longer hold the books, you can also discard the old books and newspapers and give them to some neighbors or poorer primary schools.
Of course, it is said to add a scene to Yiji and fill a customer benefit, but in fact it is still a promotion plan for Baoshu, Jiajun, Sunxin and Jiaru.
Read at least two books every month, and the children will develop the habit of reading.
Therefore, customers can choose to read or not, but the young people in the store must read the books every month.
"Can we buy some fashion books?" Jiaru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course, it's meaningful to improve everyone's aesthetic taste. But gossip books are not allowed." Jiayi immediately put on a stern face and acted like an elder sister.
"OK, madam!" Jiaru saluted her elder sister like an agent.
The two turned into the literature counter and bought two classics, and then they felt satisfied.
Because the books were too heavy, Jiayi stuffed a few dozen more tips to the clerk and asked him to help deliver them to Ivy Street Yiji. The clerk happily collected the tip and books, and solemnly stated that he would definitely deliver all the books safely.
So, the smiling bag was passed from Jiayi to the clerk.
The smiling face in Jiaru's writing, riding on the bookstore clerk's scooter, speeding through the streets and alleys, smiling for more and more people.
...
The two sisters set out again with light luggage, turned out of the bookstore and went into the restaurant.
There is an old Beijing restaurant on the 8th floor of Jardine Center in Causeway Bay, and the Beijing-style
shredded pork with Beijing sauce is a must-order. The shredded pork with green onions and coriander (cilantro) has a strong aroma of sauce. The tender and crispy shredded green onions and fresh coriander are fried in oil, then coated with meat sauce and tossed before being served. The wok is full of steam, and the shredded pork is the most salty and delicious when it is hot.
Eat it with hot glutinous rice, the rice will taste softer, glutinous and sweeter, and the shredded pork will have a stronger aroma of meat and sauce, which is a perfect match.
Then there was a plate of mutton dumplings. The small dumplings were curved on both sides. You could eat one by one. When you bite open the dumpling skin, the juice bursts in your mouth, and the fresh taste of mutton juice is everywhere. You chew with your mouth closed, and the air coming out of your nostrils is full of the aroma of mutton.
Finally, of course, you have to order the shredded sweet potato (sweet potato). A plate of browned and shredded sweet potatoes was eaten by the two sisters as a dessert after the meal.
Pick up a sweet potato and pull out seven or eight soft sugar threads. Rinse it in cold water, and the hot sugar threads will solidify. The pulled threads finally break and can be put into your mouth.
The outer skin has just been cooled by cold water to form a layer of sugar skin. If you bite it gently, you will find the hard, crisp and tough sugar. If you bite it harder, you will find the hot and soft sweet potato. The sweetness of sugar is even better than that of sweet potatoes, which are richer and more flavorful. When mixed together and chewed in the mouth, the rich taste and sweetness stimulate the taste buds and the brain, dopamine is secreted, and the sense of happiness reaches its peak.
After leaving the restaurant, Jiaru smacked her lips and said to her sister, "Let's go back after shopping and buy some shredded sweet potatoes and shredded pork with Beijing sauce for big brother and Jiajun, okay?"
"It doesn't matter. The recipe is here. I'll write it down when I get back. Big brother will definitely be able to make it." Jiayi tapped her head.
After Jiangnan cooked drunken crab and crab roe noodles, will the next dish of the month be "Shredded pork with Beijing sauce, the emperor's favorite dish" and "Shredded sweet potato, the most popular dessert dish that the emperor encountered when he went to Jiangnan"?
Maybe there will be a way to eat roast duck slices, cucumber shreds, scallions, and rolls with sweet noodle sauce?
Or the old Beijing fried noodles with sauce-flavored minced meat and refreshing and crispy cucumber shreds?
I wonder if I can find a charcoal-burning copper pot in Hong Kong?
Hmm... can Hong Kong people get used to the heavy-flavored braised food?
Sitting in the Dingdang car, the two sisters were drowsy from swaying.
After a full meal, their stomachs were not working but their brains were not. Jiayi and Jiaru's minds were full of random thoughts until they arrived at their destination for shopping for clothes. They instantly came to their senses.
Jump out of the car and rush to the Lisi Shopping Centre on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Here you can find the most fashionable styles from all over the world, the most avant-garde macro stores, and all kinds of trendy products you can imagine - interesting vintage shops, jewelry shops with a wide range of products, personalized fashion shops where you can cut and modify your own clothes, romantic French fashion brands, British-style Underground, Japanese dark style and kawaii style clothing houses...
Don't underestimate the four-story shopping mall huddled in the alley of Granville Road, which is only wide enough for two people to pass through. This is a shopping paradise for young people. Later, even Ah Sa from Twins opened a store here, which shows its status in the minds of shoppers.
This is often called the most famous shopping mall in Hong Kong. It opens at 3 pm to welcome customers, as if they had been partying until midnight the day before and woke up in the afternoon to earn customers' money.
Whatever is sold in the mall is popular in Hong Kong. Lisi is like the source of fashion for young people in Hong Kong. Perhaps because of this, the shop owners are so leisurely to open the shop, without any sense of urgency. But
even the shop owners who have no sense of urgency still love rich people, especially rich people like Jiayi who want to buy everything, and they have to greet them with a smile.
When it comes to price, the bargaining power of the pretty girl Jiaru is too strong, which gives the shop owner a headache. However, when he sees the two sisters Jiayi and Jiaru buying a lot of things and handing over bills, when the two pretty girls leave, the shop owner will still smile and help them open the door attentively, say goodbye to them cheerfully, and sincerely say "Come again next time".
After all, these two people are not buying things, they are simply purchasing goods.
From leather jackets for men in their twenties to autumn pants for fourteen-year-old boys, they are all on the shopping list.
Looking up, I see a thin sweater for a teenager, and looking down, I see a pair of jeans suitable for a sixteen-year-old girl.
The white shirts for working ladies on the left hand side must be bought, and the favorite toys of 13-year-old boys are also listed at the door on the right.
Autumn clothes for different ages and genders, each person buys two or three sets, from socks to underwear, from autumn clothes to coats.
Sleeves to wear to school, gloves to hold pots in the kitchen, student cushions to protect body temperature from loss on rainy days, super large umbrellas big enough for two people...
At first, the two women could still carry the bags calmly, but soon they were a little overwhelmed. They had to store some of the things they bought on the first floor of the mall so that they could continue shopping without being affected.
Small bills were disappearing, and large clothes, shoes, socks, sunglasses and daily necessities were increasing.
Jiayi even bought Jiaru a small skateboard to support her sister in being an avant-garde and cool girl.
Of course, Jiajun must have the same windbreaker as Xiao Ma. The little handsome boy must look very stylish in it.
Jiadong's pointed soft-soled leather shoes are also a must. Although you can't see the good clothes and pants when you wear an apron all day, you can still see the shoes on your feet. When you walk in and out wearing new shoes, customers can see that the boss of Yiji is a trendy person with taste.
Jiayi also bought several beautiful clothes for herself. She can't dress like a programmer all day. The replacement for the plaid shirt must be white shirt, black shirt, beautiful hoodie and fashionable shirt.
Hair ties can't always be black, they should also be dark blue, dark red, dark green, etc. The same low-key hair ties, if you look closely, are actually different colors every day.
Not an inspector, it's not appropriate to wear cool suits, white shirts and various fashionable office women's clothing, but young girls who love beauty can still secretly show off their beauty under the identity of detectives.
Resolutely say no to the thriftiness of Yi Jiaru who is reluctant to spend money!
Buy, buy, buy, don't be soft-hearted.
"Do you think Doufuzi will look handsome in black? The fair and slender boy is shy, doesn't like to talk and doesn't smile often. If he wears black clothes, people will definitely not think he is timid and shy, but will think he is particularly mysterious and cool, right?"
"Baoshu always has a stern face to pretend to be cool. Let's buy him a plaid shirt and suspenders for an English boy. Do you think he can wear it?"
"This pullover T-shirt looks good. Jiajun is thin. When he puts it on, his shoulders are propped up. With a pair of white casual pants, gray or brown socks and black leather shoes, he will definitely look handsome." "This dress
suits you very well. A pair of white short socks and round-toed student leather shoes are a must-buy!"
"This woolen vest will look good with any color shirt. When the weather gets cooler in the future, big brother can wear it! When he wears the apron, the collar can still be seen, which will definitely be charming."
Jiayi was like an old mother buying autumn clothes for the whole family. Her eyes were as bright as light bulbs.
The salesgirl who was listening to her didn't understand what was going on and thought that her family had ten or eight people to support. What a huge family.
Jiaru followed behind and had to play the role of the rational persuading the eldest sister from time to time, "Don't buy it, don't buy it anymore, big sister, forget it..." It was so tiring.
I was worried that if she continued to buy, the eldest sister would go bankrupt.
Yi Jiayi, who had just been persuaded to put down a pink windbreaker, suddenly stopped when she turned around a men's clothing store.
A white plastic mannequin facing the door was wearing a dark red shirt with a stand-up collar.
It was a pure hand-sewn shirt that did not need ironing. It was made of silk and had a superior fabric. One could tell at a glance that it was expensive.
The stand-up collar was chic and cool. If you unbuttoned three or two buttons, your collarbone and a little bit of your chest muscles would be exposed, along with your beautiful neck line and Adam's apple... You would look lazy and sexy!
If the person wearing the shirt is good at making a cold face and has a majestic aura, then wearing it would be cool and charming. And when you turn around, your shoulders would be tight, and the hard undulating lines on your chest...
Most people would not be able to handle such a shirt, but there is one person who can.
When Jiayi looked at it, the person who "must look good in it" in her mind had a face. His face was sharp and angular, and his jaw was tightened when he was angry. The hormones of a male hunter would burst. His
two sword-like eyebrows were so sharp, and his long eyes with long eyelashes seemed to be able to see through a person's internal organs.
The high nose supported the peak, which was the outstanding high point of the whole face.
His lips were slightly thin, and he was used to pursing them into a straight line. Although it looked severe, to be honest, the lip color was actually pink, showing that this person had a healthy heart and a hot body to maintain such a color.
When this mouth was not pursed, but opened to speak, it was even more amazing. It is best at saying some golden sentences that people find very useful. It also often spits out knowledge that greatly benefits people, insights full of wisdom, philosophical words that inspire people to think deeply, or imperative sentences full of leadership that people cannot refuse...
It seems that no matter what it is, she likes to listen.
She covered her cheeks with her hands and burned her hands.
Jiayi took a deep breath, raised her head and walked boldly, rushing into the men's clothing store without looking back.
Jiaru, don't stop me!
I will buy this no matter what!
It is the kind of "must buy" that cannot be stopped by the clamor of the mountains and the sea!
