Su Nian turned around and was surprised to find that the person greeting her was Zhang Maolin. You know, he was strongly against her just now!
"Uh," Su Nian thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I haven't eaten yet!"
"That's perfect. I haven't eaten either," Zhang Maolin said, looking very familiar. He pointed to the school gate and said, "The snacks at the Great North Gate are a part of the school's landscape. Have you ever experienced them?"
Su Nian had an illusion that Zhang Maolin must have walked into the wrong set, but it would not be good to ignore this senior, especially since they were all Professor Liu's apprentices and they would see each other every day. It would definitely not be good to get along too stiffly.
"How about this, I'm older, so I'll treat you to a meal. Welcome to join the research group!" Zhang Maolin made the invitation before Su Nian could speak.
"Uh, okay," Su Nian didn't expect Zhang Maolin to do this, so she agreed reluctantly.
At the entrance of Dabei School, there are all kinds of snacks. Different from Quzhou Medical College, here there are not only Beijing snacks, but also snacks from all over the world. It’s like the bosses have agreed on it. You open Sichuan cuisine, I sell Hunan cuisine, and opposite the Malatang is barbecue, there is no repetition!
Su Nian followed Zhang Maolin, thinking that she had to get through this meal no matter what!
"How about having boiled fish?" Zhang Maolin finally stopped and pointed at a boiled fish restaurant excitedly.
It takes a lot of time to prepare a fish and put it in the pot. Su Nian didn't want to spend time with Zhang Maolin. She thought for a moment and pointed to the Northeastern dishes next to the boiled fish, "Let's eat stir-fried dishes!"
Zhang Maolin nodded: "That's fine, scrambled eggs with black fungus are nutritious!"
It’s so fast! Su Nian muttered in his heart, but didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Zhang Maolin studied for a doctorate in Dabei and was very familiar with the small restaurant at the door. Without even looking at the menu, he casually ordered a few dishes, including scrambled eggs with black fungus, pickled cabbage and pork, and braised pork ribs.
Su Nian lowered his head and drank the water in the cup in small sips, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Zhang Maolin was very frank. While distributing the tableware, he said, "Xiao Su, I was wrong about what happened today. You are very capable, but it is wrong to hide things from me, your big brother!"
Su Nian smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Maolin then asked a few more questions, such as when Su Nian started studying medicine, who he learned from, and other commonplace questions. Su Nian felt there was no need to hide anything, so she told him everything.
The fastest dish, fried black fungus, egg and pork ribs, was already served. Zhang Maolin pointed with his chopsticks: "Eat it while it's hot. Don't be polite with me!"
Su Nian lowered her head and started eating.
"Xiao Su, your family is not from Beijing, right?" Zhang Maolin asked casually.
"Yes, I'm from outside!"
"That's great. I'm also from another place, and these locals are not easy to deal with!" Zhang Maolin complained.
Su Nian blinked. To be honest, Senior Brother Zhang’s style changed too quickly and she could hardly keep up!
"I'm already 29 years old, and I haven't found a suitable partner yet," Zhang Maolin looked at Su Nian seriously. "It's because the local girls are too pretentious. They despise the poor and love the rich. They always ask for RVs. They're too materialistic!"
"I think we're a good match!" Zhang Maolin picked up a large bone and offered it to Su Nian. "Eat it! There's bone marrow in it!"
Su Nian chuckled and almost spat out the fungus in her mouth. She had no intention of gnawing on the bones. She was shocked by what Zhang Maolin had just said. "What did you say?" She was still not sure what Zhang Maolin meant by "appropriate".
Could it be what she imagined?
