275: Why are you so nice to me?
Zhou Ziheng got off the bicycle, a scornful smile appeared on his lips, and he said nothing.
After locking the bike, they both went inside.
Because it is a small county town, not many people can afford to eat in state-owned restaurants, so even though it is meal time, there is no crowded scene. After entering, you can see a few empty tables.
Zhou Ziheng looked at an empty table near the corner and said:
"Go sit over there."
Yu Xiaoye refused and hurriedly took out the cloth bag:
"Director, please go sit down. I'll treat you!"
"Just go when I tell you to. Don't nag me." Zhou Ziheng's tone was almost overbearing.
Yu Xiaoye didn't dare to compete with him anymore, but she still felt that it was not good to take advantage of others. She moved her lips and stammered:
"Then, how about we split the money for food and the food coupons in half?"
Zhou Ziheng's face turned dark.
Yu Xiaoye realized that the situation was not good and ran away in fright.
Sit down obediently at the empty dining table.
Waiting silently.
I saw Zhou Ziheng standing at the food window, pointing inside. Soon, several bowls and plates were handed out.
Zhou Ziheng paid the money, asked for a tray, put the dishes and chopsticks on the tray, and came over with the tray.
Put the tray on the table.
Yu Xiaoye stared at the tray and saw a big bowl of braised pork at first sight!
Well--
Yu Xiaoye's heart choked, and she seemed to understand. Zhou Ziheng brought her all the way across the entire county just for this bowl of braised pork!
She immediately thought of the half bowl of braised pork at Director Sui's house, and tried hard to recall whether her expression of greed for the bowl of braised pork was too obvious.
Thinking of this, he felt embarrassed and lowered his head in embarrassment.
But my saliva was already flowing out uncontrollably.
Zhou Ziheng sat down opposite her, observing her expression carefully. Seeing that she lowered her head and looked shy, Zhou Ziheng's mouth corners rose again, and he calmly moved the dishes on the tray out.
A bowl of braised pork, a plate of braised bighead carp, and a plate of cold dish of green onion and black fungus.
Two bowls of vegetable and egg drop soup and four scallion pancakes in a small basket.
Yu Xiaoye looked at the three dishes, including meat and vegetables, soup and pancakes. So many delicious foods must cost a lot of money, right?
Gulu——
My stomach growled appropriately.
Zhou Ziheng, who was sitting opposite, heard everything clearly:
"Eat quickly."
Yu Xiaoye didn't hesitate and muttered "thank you" softly.
He first picked up the soup bowl, drank a sip of the soup to moisten his throat, then picked up the scallion pancake and took a bite.
Then he picked up the chopsticks, stopped pretending, and went straight to the bowl of braised pork, picked up a piece of pork belly with skin, and put it into his mouth.
The rich and flavorful braised pork melts immediately on the tongue. It is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, salty and slightly sweet, and the skin is stewed until it is soft.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Yu Xiaoye almost swallowed his tongue!
Zhou Ziheng sat opposite and did not pick up his chopsticks immediately. He looked intently at Yu Xiaoye opposite him. He could see that this girl was eating very restrainedly. Zhou Ziheng suspected that if he was not there, this girl would definitely eat like a wolf and would never be as gentle as she is now.
It seems that she really likes braised pork.
Zhou Ziheng said with some regret:
"It's a pity there's no rice. Braised pork would be better with rice."
Yu Xiaoye swallowed the food in his mouth and said with satisfaction:
“The scallion pancakes are also very good.”
"How was it? Did you enjoy the delicious food we had at Director Sui's house the other day?"
Yu Xiaoye blushed and said in a low but straightforward voice:
“They’re all delicious!”
Zhou Ziheng smiled and said to himself: So easy to feed.
He also picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
This was not the first time the two of them had eaten together. They had previously had breakfast together at a breakfast shop, and later had a meal at Director Sui's house. However, Yu Xiaoye did not feel very comfortable during both meals.
The first time was because I was too unfamiliar with the director and was very reserved.
Not to mention the second time, I poured wine for others with my mouth watering and an empty stomach. My stomach was almost bursting with hunger before I could sit down and eat a few bites in peace.
This time it was much better. She became familiar with the manager, and she didn't have to pour wine for anyone or deal with anyone. She could finally get straight to the point, enjoying a bite of meat and a bite of cake.
After eating several pieces of meat, she started to pick up some wood ears.
The wood ear mushrooms are also delicious and crispy. They are wild wood ear mushrooms and taste great even with just soy sauce and vinegar.
Finally we ate the fish. It was not a whole fish, but pieces of fish. There were six pieces in total, weighing about two kilograms. The fish must have been very big, and the whole fish must have weighed at least ten kilograms.
The two of us picked up food from the same plate, one using chopstick and the other using chopsticks, and it was surprisingly harmonious and natural.
But Yu Xiaoye just kept eating and never looked up at Zhou Ziheng.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Ziheng, who was half a head taller than Yu Xiaoye when he sat there. While he was eating, he kept staring at Yu Xiaoye. Seeing her eat happily, he was happy too.
Seeing that she rarely put her chopsticks into the fish dish, I asked:
"Don't like fish?"
"No, I like to eat it." She couldn't say that she had an entire ocean of fish to eat, so she wasn't particularly fond of fish. She could only say, "But I prefer meat."
Zhou Ziheng actually guessed it. Fish are easier to catch and there are plenty of them in the river, but pork is harder to get, so there are fewer opportunities to eat meat.
Between fish and meat, of course, eat meat first.
Zhou Ziheng said:
"Whenever you want to eat braised pork, tell me and I'll bring you here."
Yu Xiaoye, who had been concentrating on eating, raised his head, licked the soup on his lips, looked at the person opposite him, and asked:
"Captain, why are you so nice to me?"
Zhou Ziheng thoughtfully
He stared at Yu Xiaoye, was silent for a moment, and asked:
"Do you know why?"
Yu Xiaoye shook his head.
Zhou Ziheng said word by word:
"Because you're stupid!"
Yu Xiaoye: "——"
Suddenly, the meat in her mouth lost its flavor. How many times has the director done this to her today?
Is she a mentally retarded person in the director's mind?
Is the director caring for mentally retarded children?
Zhou Ziheng saw Yu Xiaoye's silly expression, and it seemed that this girl really took it to heart. He then changed his tone and said with a smile:
"I'm just kidding."
Yu Xiaoye sighed and said, forget it, let them say whatever they want, as long as the director is happy!
Yu Xiaoye continued to eat.
I was almost full before I finished one piece of bread.
The main reason is that this braised pork is very filling, so you can’t eat too much, or you’ll get sick of it.
She tried hard to stuff the last piece of bread into her mouth, ate two pieces of fungus to press down her appetite, and finally drank the soup. Her stomach was completely empty, just like a bottle filled with stones, then with sand, and finally with water. There was no more space left in her stomach.
Next, the two of them switched places, and Yu Xiaoye watched Zhou Ziheng eat.
Sometimes, after you have eaten your fill, watching others eat is also a kind of enjoyment.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng picking out fish bones, Yu Xiaoye suddenly said:
"Manager, let me help you pick out the fish bones!"
As she spoke, she found a new pair of chopsticks and really started to pick out the fish bones for Zhou Ziheng.
He picked out the large pieces of fish and placed them aside so that Zhou Ziheng could eat them ready.
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help laughing when he saw a large piece of fish.
It is not entirely correct to say that this girl is heartless. Sometimes she is very attentive and can think of taking the initiative to help him pick out fish bones. Most people probably wouldn't think of this.
