Chapter 122 The First Date



As arranged by Gu Nanxun, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun went to see a movie first.

Gu Nanxun was wearing a blue striped sailor shirt, military trousers, and black cloth shoes.

Lin Qing was wearing a light green dress, the skirt was light and flowing, and the neckline was a delicate Peter Pan collar, embroidered with a few small white daisies, which added a touch of playfulness and liveliness to the dress.

A thin belt of the same color was tied around her waist, perfectly outlining her slender waist.

She also wore two braids, but made them a little looser, and her bangs were neatly combed in front of her forehead, making her face look even rounder and cuter.

She was wearing a pair of white sandals with simple buckles on the surface, which made a crisp sound when she walked, making her look playful and cute.

They mingled happily at the entrance of the movie theater, their good looks attracting frequent glances from those around them.

At the entrance of the movie theater, a large crowd had gathered, all eagerly awaiting the start of the film.

Gu Nanxun bought Lin Qing some popcorn and two bottles of soda, then held Lin Qing's hand tightly, afraid that they would get separated in the crowd.

The screening room was very simple at this time, with wooden benches that were quite hard to sit on, but this did not affect Lin Qing's excitement at all.

Movies from that era were still in black and white. Today's screening is a film about the arduous struggle of the working people.

In the scene, the protagonists are working hard in the fields, facing natural disasters without flinching, and working together to protect the crops.

Although the picture quality and environment were very basic, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun watched intently.

This was her first date with Gu Nanxun. In this era, watching such a movie, and with the most important person in her life, Lin Qing felt that this movie was better than any movie she had ever seen in her later life.

Lin Qing unconsciously moved closer to Gu Nanxun, and Gu Nanxun reciprocated by gently putting his arm around her shoulder, offering her warmth and comfort.

In this dimly lit space, Lin Qing felt that her heart was closer to Gu Nanxun's, as if the whole world consisted only of them and the movie in front of them.

After watching the movie, Gu Nanxun took Lin Qing directly to the state-run restaurant.

Previously, Lin Qing would bring him meals from the state-run restaurant, but today he finally had the opportunity to bring Lin Qing to eat at the state-run restaurant.

It was noon, and the state-run restaurant was bustling with people. Gu Nanxun found a clean table for Lin Qing to sit at, and then went to queue up to buy food.

Lin Qing watched Gu Nanxun queuing up to buy food with delight. She had been here so many times, and today she finally got to sit and wait for her food.

After a while, it was finally Gu Nanxun's turn. Gu Nanxun carefully looked at the menu and ordered a braised pork, a stir-fried vegetable dish, a four-happiness meatball dish, a dish of stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, and two bowls of rice.

"Brother Nanxun, you actually have Four Happiness Meatballs? I've been here several times before and never seen them."

Upon seeing the Four Happiness Meatballs served by the waiter, Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"This Four Happiness Meatballs is the chef's specialty here, but for some reason, he doesn't make it often. You can only get to eat it by luck."

In response to Lin Qing's question, Gu Nanxun explained.

"No wonder there are so many people today! It turns out the chef has some of his signature dishes on the menu!"

Lin Qing said with a sigh, "This Nanxun guy is really lucky. Even when he eats at a state-run restaurant, he can get to eat the chef's signature dishes. I can't compare to him! Luckily, he's from my own family."

Lin Qing took a small bite of the Four Happiness Meatball. The outer layer was crispy, and it made a soft "crunch" sound when she ate it.

The meatballs are delicate and elastic, with firm yet tender meat, and every bite is full of rich meaty flavor.

The seasoning is just right, with a savory aroma and a hint of sweetness. This sweetness does not come from the direct addition of sugar, but from the deliciousness of the meatballs themselves and the clever combination of seasonings.

With each chew, Lin Qing could feel the aroma of scallions, ginger, and other seasonings spreading in her mouth. Not only was there no fishy smell from the meat, but it also had a rich and layered flavor.

The meatballs are filled with juicy filling that slowly flows out as you chew, moisturizing every corner of your mouth and leaving a lingering, delightful taste.

The rich flavor carries the warmth and satisfaction of home, intoxicating and unforgettable.

Lin Qing savored the dish carefully. No wonder it was her master's specialty; it was indeed exceptionally well-made.

The cooking machine in Lin Qing's space can also make four-happiness meatballs. Although they are very delicious, they are still a little lacking compared to the chef's!

Lin Qing wondered if it was because of the recipe, but she really wanted to ask her chef if she could have the recipe. After thinking about it, she gave up.

"Qingqing, wait here for me for a moment, I'm going out for a bit."

"Okay, go ahead, Brother Nanxun."

Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing didn't think much of it. She assumed that Gu Nanxun wanted to go out to use the restroom.

"for you."

After a while, Gu Nanxun came over and handed Lin Qing a piece of paper.

Lin Qing took it and saw that it was the recipe for Four Happiness Meatballs that she had been longing for.

"Ah... Brother Nanxun, you're so great, I love you so much."

Upon seeing the recipe in her hand, Lin Qing exclaimed excitedly. Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of those around her. Seeing their reactions, Lin Qing quickly covered her mouth.

"That's it!"

Seeing Lin Qing's adorable appearance, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but pinch Lin Qing's cheek.

His wife is so cute; she's so happy just from a recipe.

"Of course, Brother Nanxun is the best."

"Brother Nanxun, how did you get it?"

Lin Qing asked with a curious look, "This kind of thing shouldn't be given to others so easily, right?"

"Bought it for 100 yuan."

Hearing Lin Qing's question, Gu Nanxun leaned closer to Lin Qing and whispered to her.

"value!"

Lin Qing couldn't help but give Gu Nanxun a thumbs up. As someone from the future, she knew all too well the importance of this kind of recipe. It could be bought for 100 yuan now, but in the future, it might not even cost tens of thousands of yuan.

After dinner, Gu Nanxun took Lin Qing to the department store.

"Qingqing, buy whatever you like today, your husband will pay."

Gu Nanxun stood at the entrance of the mall and said to Lin Qing in a grand manner.

"Brother Nanxun, do you have a ticket?"

Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing looked at Gu Nanxun with amusement. He knew that Brother Nanxun was rich. Brother Nanxun had given him all his money before. He had put the money Brother Nanxun gave him together with the money he earned in the black market. Anyone who needed to use it could take it. But Brother Nanxun probably didn't have any tickets!

"look!"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Gu Nanxun pulled out a stack of tickets from his spatial storage and proudly showed them to Lin Qing.
