After Luo Sui'an had ordered the food, Xu Shuying also came. When she came in, she apologized: "I'm sorry, I was delayed a little by a parent."
"It's okay, Sister Shu, please take a seat." Luo Suian stood up and greeted her.
At the square table, Xu Shuying sat on the unoccupied side. On the left was Luo Suian, on the right was Ye Yixing, and across from him was an unknown young man.
"Sister Shu, this is Shen Hao. He is a fellow countryman and a primary school classmate of mine and Ye Yixing." Luo Suian introduced Shen Hao to Xu Shuying.
Shen Hao has a sunny appearance. When he smiles, he looks like a big boy. It is difficult for people to feel disgusted: "Sister Shu."
Xu Shuying nodded: "Hello."
"Sister Shu, I just ordered something, you can take a look at what to eat." Luo Sui'an waited for them to get acquainted and handed over the menu.
"I can eat whatever you want. I won't order it if you order it. It's up to you." Xu Shuying is not that particular. She is not picky about food. She can eat anything as long as it is not too unpalatable.
"Okay, I ordered a beer. Sister Shu, do you want to drink it?" Luo Sui'an asked about the drinks again. Bayi Chinese Website
Xu Shuying said: "Of course I have to drink to celebrate with you. I took a taxi here specially."
"Interesting." Luo Suian closed the menu and said with a smile.
While he was talking, the waiter started to serve the dishes, first serving cold dishes and beer, a Northeastern style pulled pork belly, and a dish of frozen pork skin.
Luo Sui'an opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Xu Shuying first, followed by Ye Yixing and Shen Hao. She raised her glass: "Thank you for helping me during this time. I won't say many good things, but they are all in the wine."
The three of them raised their glasses in honor, and the four of them clinked one together.
After a glass of wine, Luo Sui'an introduced them to two cold dishes. There's nothing much to say about the Northeast Lapi. It's available in every city across the country, but the name and taste are different, but they're all pretty much the same.
It’s worth mentioning the pork skin jelly, which is Luo Sui’an’s favorite: “This pork skin jelly looks simple, but it tastes very delicious, fat but not greasy, and the production process is also complicated. Every winter, every household will make this, served with The dipping sauce is so delicious."
After her introduction, everyone tasted a piece, and it tasted better than it looked.
"Why can we only do this in winter?" Ye Yixing asked.
"It's not something you can only do in winter. It's easier to freeze if you do it in winter. The temperature in the Northeast is low in winter, so you don't need to deliberately put it in the refrigerator to freeze. You just need to throw it outside and it will be frozen in a few hours. In the Northeast winter, the outdoors is a natural big refrigerator. , every household throws meat and so on outside, without worrying about it spoiling, it can freeze you." Luo Sui'an explained.
Shen Hao almost spit out a mouthful of beer: "Luo Sui'an, can you stop speaking Northeastern dialect? I want to laugh when I hear it. You said you are from the south, but now your mouth smells like Northeastern dirt. It's too inconsistent."
"I don't think I'm a big Northeastern person. One day when you go to the Northeast, I ask you to listen to Mr. Zheng's Northeast dialect. His chatter can make you faint." Luo Sui'an rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, if I go to the Northeast, you have to do your part as a landlord." Shen Hao said.
"It's necessary. I'll make it clear to you." Luo Sui'an said another Northeastern dialect.
Xu Shuying also laughed at this time. She was very beautiful even if she didn't smile, and her smile was even more dazzling. Shen Hao sat opposite her and was stunned by her smile.
While he was dazed, the waiter came in with a large iron pot and sat the pot in the middle of the table. As soon as the lid was opened, a burst of hot steam came out. In the haze, Xu Shuying's face became hazy and even more... A touch of hazy beauty.
