Chapter 177
The car stopped downstairs of the Lao Tongzhi Hotpot Restaurant. After parking the car, the three of us walked upstairs. There were not many people coming to eat hotpot at noon, but it snowed today, so there were quite a lot of people all of a sudden.
The three of them found a seat in a corner and sat down. The waiter came over immediately and handed them the menu.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hot pot."
"Where's the food?"
"I want tripe, pork blood, duck intestines..."
The three of them had a good relationship and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Lin Nanzhi asked the two of them to tell him what they wanted to eat, and Lin Nanzhi checked it. The three of them particularly liked tripe and duck intestines, and they ordered three extra portions of each. Beef, duck blood, fish balls, yellow throat, coriander, potato chips, cabbage, and enoki mushrooms were all indispensable. It was a full table.
Lao Tongzhi is a relatively old hot pot restaurant. The dishes here are mainly large portions and low prices. Three people were afraid that they would not be able to finish the meal, so they did not order much.
“Don’t move, let your friends eat first!” Cousin Lin Nanrong immediately stopped the two people who were about to start eating and quickly took out her cell phone to take pictures.
Lin Nanzhi and his niece Chu Yi looked at each other, took out their cell phones, and took a few photos.
"Come on, come on, let's take a photo together."
"eggplant."
After the group photo, Lin Nanzhi was so hungry that he quickly put food into the pot: "No more, I'm too hungry, I'll move first."
The two of them naturally had no objections when they heard this and started eating.
The base of the pot is spicy with red oil, and it is very spicy. The three of us slurped it and found it very satisfying. At the end, we felt it was not enough, so we added another portion of tripe, kidney slices and meatballs, and were very satisfied.
"Hello, checkout."
The waiter immediately brought the menu and receipt and said with a smile, "Hello, the total bill is two hundred and thirty-five dollars."
The base is 35 yuan, meat dishes are 18 yuan each, meatballs are 15 yuan, noodles are 12 yuan, vegetarian dishes are 6 yuan per serving, dipping sauce is 5 yuan per person, and there are drinks, which are about the same price.
Lin Nanzhi glanced at the receipt, saw no problem, and paid readily.
The prices at Lao Tongzhi are indeed cheap. He charges according to the dishes. He makes less money from expensive dishes and more money from cheap dishes. When all is balanced, the prices are about the same. Compared with other restaurants where a dish costs twenty or thirty yuan, the price is indeed cheap, and the taste is also good, which is why it is popular.
Of course, he does make money. The prices are a bit higher at night, the dishes are a few dollars more expensive, and there are more expensive seafood.
Generally speaking, the old comrades make their money mainly at night.
At night, this restaurant is packed with people and you may not even be able to get a number but have to wait in line to eat.
"I feel like it's almost there. I'll treat you to milk tea." Chu Yi suggested, and the two nodded.
Soon, the three of them entered the mall, each holding a cup of milk tea, ready to buy two sets of clothes.
"School starts tomorrow, how annoying." Chu Yi said.
"You're fine, but I'm more troubled, okay!" Lin Nanrong rolled her eyes.
Chu Yi and Lin Nanrong's grades were average at the time. Because they felt they could not go to a good school, they were enrolled in a five-year sports school in junior high school. The two will graduate next year.
Lin Nanzhi had heard the two people complain more than once. If they had known that sports school was so tiring, they would have worked harder to get into a good high school and then work harder to get into college.
I heard that the sports school has very intense training every day, with a five-kilometer cross-country run being the most common, and then there will be training based on the events you have signed up for.
But at that time, there was no choice but to be automatically assigned. Chu Yi was assigned to physical education, while Lin Nanrong was assigned to sports training.
In other words, Chu Yi is studying physical education, and after graduation, he will be assigned by the school to teach physical education after passing the examination. Lin Nanrong is training to be an athlete, so her training will naturally be much more difficult than Chu Yi's.
Chu Yi burst out laughing when he heard this.
"No, I have to buy myself some clothes to reward myself."
So the three of them went shopping seriously. Lin Nanzhi had been making her own clothes recently so she didn't buy any, but bought some dolls. She really liked them and planned to set aside a separate area in her room to put some dolls in the room. Just looking at the dolls would make her feel much better.
There were also some exquisite little gadgets that she couldn't take her eyes off.
Just then, she stared at a lucky cat and was about to buy it when her phone rang. She had no choice but to turn around and answer it: "You two go first, I'll take a call and follow you soon."
"Um."
"Hello, how are you... Yes, I'm afraid you can't find it here... Zhaoyang District Qichi Inn, yes. It's just a little way from Wumeng Amusement Park, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nanzhi caught up with the two people. After shopping for a while, they both bought a set of clothes, and she bought two pairs of shoes.
The truth is that her shoes are so durable that a pair of shoes will break in no more than half a year. I don’t know if it’s her fault or if there’s a problem with the quality of the shoes.
When I got home, the snow had stopped and the sun came out.
Lin Nanzhi returned home after sending the two people home, then lay on the bed and browsed his phone.
The next morning, Lin Nanzhi got up to exercise and saw the program crew.
There were not many people, just three. One was carrying the machine, and the other two stood beside him. One of them came forward to greet Lin Nanzhi when he saw him, and said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, the director said yesterday that the rules for this episode's live broadcast recording have been changed.
According to the contract, the first episode is the prologue, and starting from the second episode, men and women will pair up to maintain a couple relationship for three days to get to know each other. In the last episode, the most desirable opposite-sex team will be selected to complete the one-month simulated couple relationship.
"Yeah, I know."
"However, there are some changes to the rules. Instead of the male and female guests choosing each other, the female guests will choose the male guests."
Lin Nanzhi watched him take out five envelopes, and he knew at a glance that this was a secret selection, or the so-called blind election, and whoever was chosen would be the winner.
She couldn't help but complain about Wen Jiunian in her heart.
He agreed to participate despite the rules and even dragged her along. Aren't they afraid that she might be tempted by another guest? Although she probably won't!
"Then choose one from among them."
Lin Nanzhi took a look and then sighed in his heart.
Alas, Wen Jiunian, don’t blame me. It’s because I’m a non-African. The chance of choosing you is only one in five, and you have the non-African physique, which makes it even more difficult.
It depends on God’s will!
She drew one of them and then opened the envelope. Inside was a photo of Gu Yu playing golf. On the back was a sentence written: It is said that everything is destined, but I think man can conquer nature. I like you, and as long as you are still single, I will work hard for you!
This sentence is the confession that the director asked me to write at the end of the first episode.
Lin Nanzhi still agrees with this statement in his heart.
As long as you are single, if I really like you, I will try my best to fight for you, unless you already have a boyfriend or girlfriend, then I will try to let it go, if I can't, I will wait...
Either wait for you to break up, or wait for me to let you go!
