Chapter 60 Shabu-shabu mutton
At five twenty, Qi Yuan wrapped himself tightly and went downstairs.
After standing in the cold wind for a while, I saw Su Ping's car. He was always very punctual. If he said he would pick him up at 5:30, then it must be 5:30. No advance, no delay. The error would be up to two minutes.
.
After getting in the car, Su Ping took a glance and frowned: "Why are you freezing like this? Your hands are all purple."
"Doing laundry."
"Don't you use hot water to wash clothes?"
"Hot water is expensive..." he muttered softly.
Su Ping choked and was about to complain, but then he remembered the tight salary during his trainee period. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'll help you apply for a staff dormitory later.
The conditions are similar to what you have now, 30 square meters, one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, right in the detachment compound, very close. There are discounts on water and electricity bills, but there is no furniture, so you have to buy it yourself, and broadband
You have to pull it yourself."
"Then thank you, Captain Su."
Su Ping shook his head and didn't reply.
Soon after arriving at the destination, Su Ping parked the car and met Xun Mu and others.
Probably because the weather is too cold, this store is not small. The self-service mutton-shabu restaurant with three floors is very busy. Although it is quite early, there is already a long queue at the door.
Qi Yuan rubbed his palms and asked: "Captain Su, why don't we find another restaurant? With so many people, how long will we have to wait? It takes a long time to eat hot pot, and even more so if you have a buffet..."
"We have made a reservation and reserved a private room." Su Ping glanced at him, stepped forward to negotiate with the waiter, and the waiter led them upstairs.
"Ten of us want clear soup. Please give us a pot of hot milk tea first," Su Ping said.
"Okay," the waiter nodded and said, "The self-service dipping station is outside, and you can just grab what you want downstairs. Do you need sesame cakes, mutton skewers, and wheat noodles? There are also sheep scorpions and haggis soup.
.”
"Oh? How to sell it?"
"Each person gets one skewer of mutton skewers. If it's not enough, it's 3 yuan per skewer," the waiter said, "Steamed lamb scorpions are 24 per pound, braised with soy sauce is 34 per pound, and the rest are free. We'll make them if you order them."
Su Ping thought for a while and said, "Let each of us have a bowl of haggis soup first, and for the rest... well, do you want anything?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were not interested in any of this. Only Qi Yuan raised his hand: "Please give me a sesame seed cake."
As he said that, he looked at Su Ping and said, "Well, I'm sorry, I didn't eat at noon..."
Su Ping rolled his eyes: "You can eat when you are hungry. Why are you embarrassed by me? Your stomach is yours. You can eat whatever you want."
Qi Yuan scratched his head.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"No more for now. Uh, please hurry up on that pot. It's cold."
"Okay." The waiter withdrew.
Qi Yuan stood up: "I'm going to get something to eat."
"Let's bring up a basket of mutton rolls first," Su Ping said without being polite: "We won't use vegetables for now, let's eat meat first. Oh, get some yuba and some haggis if you have them. If you have apple cider vinegar, get some more
A bottle of apple cider vinegar to relieve tiredness.”
Qi Yuan blinked.
Brother Song chuckled and stood up: "I'll go down too."
"Me too." Fang Chang said.
"Wait a minute," Brother Song asked, "What flavor of dipping water do you want? Spicy? Hot and sour? Or make it yourself?"
"I want sesame sauce and some chive flowers." Qi Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Oh, I know how to eat." Su Ping glanced at him in surprise, smiled softly, and nodded: "Okay, I'll get it for you. Do you want chili?"
"I want two spoons, oily chili pepper."
"what about you?"
"Just be like Xiao Qi."
After a while, the three of them came back carrying several large baskets, and the bottom of the pot was also ready. They were really waiting for the bottom of the pot to boil.
After a while, the haggis soup came again. Su Ping stood up and helped distribute the soup to everyone. Then he sat down and said, "It's my first time to come to this store, but I saw good reviews, so I came here."
"You, you are so old that you still don't want to save some pension money?"
"What are you saving? The mortgage is almost paid off," Su Ping swallowed the lamb tripe in his mouth and said, "Just leave some money for my daughter's dowry, organize a banquet, and spend some money for decoration."
Qi Yuan looked envious.
Su Ping noticed his eyes and glared at him: "Xiao Qi, I'm warning you, don't take advantage of my daughter."
"Pfft."
"Yunu Wugua, I want you to be a widow!" Su Ping rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, come on, let's eat." Xun Mu laughed, grabbed the basket with the mutton rolls, poured dozens of pieces of mutton into it, and said at the same time:
"This mutton shabu-shabu is supposed to be made of fresh mutton, cut into thin slices, simmered in a pot for a few times, and then eaten immediately. The meat will be mellow and not smelly, very tender, and then wrapped in sesame sauce, it will be very fragrant.
Na.
It's a pity that we don't have that condition right now. The meat is all frozen. After all, it's a buffet. We can't be so demanding. There are a lot of people, so we can just boil it and eat it."
"Are you still pretending to be an expert in front of me?" Su Ping curled his lips, finished drinking the mutton soup, took a chopstick and dipped the meat in the water, put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and nodded: "Yeah, mutton
The taste is quite good, it’s okay, at least it’s real mutton, it’s almost enough, come on, eat all of it.”
The atmosphere when eating hot pot is the most lively. Even if you can't drink, a few people are drinking apple cider vinegar. Gradually everyone starts to open up, chatting and bragging in full enthusiasm.
Qi Yuan gradually let go, couldn't help but touch Su Ping with his elbow, and asked: "Captain Su, which case is the most thrilling in your memory?"
"Thrilling?" Su Ping looked up from the corner of his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "To say thrilling..."
He rolled up his sleeves, showed the long scar on his right forearm, and asked, "Do you know where this scar came from?"
Qi Yuan opened his mouth and guessed: "The gangster chopped it?"
"How could a gangster cut me so crookedly and use a utility knife to draw a dragon on my arm?" Su Ping laughed and put down his sleeves, then shook his head: "I was scratched while saving someone.
It has been more than ten years, right? At that time, I was still working at the grassroots level of the police station, and it was my last year of training. When I received a report that someone was about to jump off the building, a young girl in her twenties said she had been tricked by her superiors, and she couldn't accept it.
We and the firemen went there and organized efforts to rescue people. There were air mattresses on the ground... but it was useless. The building was more than 20 stories high and it was quite choked even with air mattresses. It was best to be able to pull people down.
I went up to the top floor with the firefighter, and someone was negotiating with the little girl. I winked at another firefighter brother, and we looked over together, intending to take the person down.
