Be friends with that redneck?
Zhao Qian felt deeply disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Qian liked Xie Qian as soon as she saw him. The Zhao family used to live abroad and just returned to China last year. After learning about Xie Qian's family background, Zhao Dong even encouraged Zhao Qian to be friends with Xie Qian.
The Zhao family has encountered many inconveniences in doing things in China. Zhao Dong thinks that it is because his family’s connection with China is too weak. Although his sister Zhao Qian is still young, feelings should be cultivated early, especially for a boy like Xie Qian. If plans are not made early when Xie Qian is still young, when Xie Qian reaches the age of marriage, it may not be Zhao Qian’s turn.
Zhao Dong prepared for a rainy day and worked hard for the Zhao family. He even used his teenage sister without mercy. No wonder Lin Lin regarded him as too utilitarian!
Zhao Dong was determined to get Xie Qian, or to rely on the relationship with the Xie family. He was even prepared to send Zhao Qian to study in Beijing. He was just waiting for the high school Xie Qian would attend to be determined before sending Zhao Qian to Beijing.
The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Zhao Dong doesn't believe that his sister can't win Xie Qian.
As it turned out, Zhao Dong was well prepared, but when he heard about Xie Qian's recent situation from his friend Jiang Youjia, Zhao Dong could no longer sit still.
Although he advised his sister Zhao Qian to be more humble, Zhao Dong was actually not very happy.
If it was Qin Xianming's daughter Qin Jiao, Zhao Dong could still understand it, but it was a girl with an ordinary family background and ordinary looks who was able to do what Zhao Qian couldn't. Zhao Dong suspected that it was because Xie Qian had never come into contact with a girl of this level before and was attracted to her when he saw her for the first time.
Just at this moment, Wen Ying's night snack stall across the street began to deliver crayfish to Da Liu's barbecue restaurant, and a plate of greasy braised crayfish was delivered to the table of the Zhao brothers and sisters.
Zhao Qian looked disgusted.
——How could Xie Qian come to set up a stall!
Zhao Dong didn't touch the things on the table. When the brother and sister asked for the bill, Da Liu was very surprised.
Leftovers are very common. Some customers have big eyes but small stomachs. If they order too much and can't finish it, of course they will leave some. But it is rare for the table like this one to have no food at all.
No matter how picky you are, you will always have to eat a few skewers before you know if it suits your taste.
Don't even try it.
Big Liu asked with a smile if he wanted to take the food away, and Zhao Dong said no, "You pay for it."
Da Liu suppressed his confusion and settled the bill. Zhao Dong took out a hundred-yuan bill and said no change was needed.
Da Liu has run the stall for many years and this is not the first time he has received tips. Sometimes foreigners come to eat barbecue and they will give him tips.
But I have never felt so unhappy about receiving a tip.
Those foreigners gave tips because the barbecue in the restaurant was delicious. Even though they were so spicy that they had to drink ice water, they still gave thumbs up and praised the deliciousness. Liu felt that he was being disdained when he didn't even touch the food he ordered.
After the Zhao brothers and sisters left, one of Liu's apprentices came up and said:
"Master, what's going on? Is someone here to cause trouble?"
Da Liu shook his head, "Not really."
Looking at the untouched skewers on the plate, although Liu Da did not lose money, he felt sad about the wasted ingredients.
In order to respond to Director Lu's call, organize the food festival well, and promote Chengdu's late-night snack culture, Da Liu has recently become more strict in choosing ingredients, especially meat dishes. He personally selects each type of meat.
Such a good thing is wasted like this. Why doesn’t God strike down those who waste food with lightning?
Apprentices working in barbecue restaurants all come from poor families. Da Liu's apprentice felt sorry for him and grabbed a skewer to put it in his mouth, but Da Liu knocked it away.
"You idiot! Some people dress like idiots. What if they're sick? No matter how well-dressed the customer is, you're not allowed to eat what they leave behind."
The young apprentice agreed reluctantly.
When Liu Da was teaching his apprentice, Xie Qian was sent by Wen Ying to collect the plates. Looking at the untouched crayfish on the table, Xie Qian was speechless.
Although crayfish are not expensive, Wang Shuang cleans each one personally.
Wen Ying fried and braised the crayfish with a muddy smell, making it into a delicacy.
Xie Qian could understand that some people didn't like to eat, but he didn't approve of deliberate waste.
He just saw the Zhao brothers and sisters.
To be honest, a place like the Night Snack Street doesn't seem like the kind of place the Zhao siblings would spend money.
During the winter vacation, he was introduced to the Zhao brothers and sisters by his cousin-in-law Jiang Youjia. The Zhao family immigrated abroad before liberation. Jiang Youjia met Zhao Dong when he was studying abroad. After the Zhao family moved back to Chengdu, Zhao Dong naturally had frequent contact with Jiang Youjia.
The Zhao family prides themselves on being a family of scholars. Their great-grandfather was a Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty. After returning to China, he also invested in the cultural tourism industry. Xie Qian had contact with the Zhao family before. The Zhao family acted like a family of scholars and only cared about money, which made Xie Qian feel very uncomfortable.
Xie Qian didn't want to have close friendships with the Zhao family, and since Zhao Qian was too clingy, he deliberately avoided them.
The Zhao family, who shouldn't have been at the night snack street, showed up anyway. There must be something strange going on.
Xie Qian looked at Wen Ying, Qin Jiao and Wang Shuang who were busy at the stall.
The Zhao family is a bit self-righteous and likes to impose their own values on others. They act without boundaries, claiming that they grew up abroad and don't understand domestic customs... If I don't take care of it, the Zhao family may ruin this fledgling small business.
Xie Qian had made up his mind, but he didn't show any sign on his face. He collected the plates and went back to the stall to help as usual, without letting Wen Ying and the other two notice anything unusual.
He was not a talkative person to begin with, and Wen Ying didn't notice anything wrong with him.
By the time they closed their stall in the evening, Wen Ying said their sales had exceeded 1,500 yuan. "See? This is the power of the food festival, and it's just the beginning!"
Wen Ying was very happy along the way because the turnover had increased visibly.
After sending Wen Ying home, Xie Qian asked Lin Lin, who was driving:
"Is my cousin-in-law home today?"
Lin Lin was a little nervous. "At home, do you have something to talk to him about?"
Xie Qian is very perceptive.
It seems that the Zhao brothers and sisters did not appear in the night snack street by chance. There must be something going on. Cousin Lin Lin knew about it, but she didn't.
Xie Qian said that he wanted to ask Jiang Youjia something, but he didn't want to tell Lin Lin what it was for the time being.
Xie Qian had the right idea, and if he didn't want to say it, no one could get it out of him.
Lin Lin was very nervous.
——Could it be that Xie Qian heard the quarrel between me and Jiang Youjia last night?
Not to mention Lin Lin, even Jiang Youjia himself felt a little guilty and nervous when he heard that Xie Qian was looking for him for something.
Alas, look at my own failure. After all, I am an adult in society, but I am afraid of Xie Qian, who is only in his teens.
Jiang Youjia thought about it carefully and realized that he was doing this entirely for Xie Qian's own good, so there was no need to feel guilty!
Jiang Youjia prepared himself mentally before pushing open Xie Qian's door. Xie Qian went straight to the point when he saw him:
"Brother-in-law, I saw your friend Zhao Dong and his sister Zhao Qian at the night snack street tonight. He's your friend, and I respect your freedom to make friends, but he's not mine. If they just happened to show up at the night snack street, I'm being sentimental. If not... I won't be polite to people I don't like."
