Chapter 142 I believe it! (Please give me monthly votes and recommend votes)
Walking out of the hotel onto the dusty street.
Zhang Wentao naturally held Xu Hongdou's hand. There were potholes on the road, old buildings, motorcycles and broken cars coming and going in an endless stream.
When they walked to Taimuer, they both saw each other in each other's eyes and felt that chaos, noise and disorder were everywhere here.
The roadside is a mess, with many merchants displaying their dazzling array of products directly at the door, but the crowds of people passing by don't even care.
They were not worried about the various chaotic lines crisscrossing above their heads; nor were they concerned about the harsh sound made by the rickshaw pullers who wanted to pass by and squeezed their homemade horns hard.
Every person dressed as a tourist has a face full of curiosity, laziness, comfort, and enjoyment.
They seem to love it here.
It also seems to come from the heart.
…
"Um."
Xu Hongdou fixed her fallen hair and anxiously used a spoon to eat the rice that was wet with the soup. After taking a bite of the dark-looking pork, she couldn't help but feel the rich aroma and smoothness in her mouth.
He made a sound of satisfaction.
After chewing and swallowing, Zhang Wentao raised his eyebrows and glanced at the person sitting opposite, holding a spoon and pulling the rice. He hesitated and said: "Try this, it tastes good."
As she said that, she forked a piece of dark meat to the other party.
Seeing the piece of meat in front of him that he knew was pork but didn't look like pork, Zhang Wentao couldn't help but frown.
But he still opened his mouth obediently and chewed the food into his mouth.
After gritting his teeth and chewing twice, he nodded.
After looking at the mutton on his plate, he followed the example of the diners around him and mixed the rice sprinkled with soup and curry vegetables, then put it into his mouth with a piece of mutton.
He was not in the mood to taste it, but just wanted to fill his stomach. As he ate, the expression on his face became complicated.
So he followed Xu Hongdou's example and picked up a small piece of mutton with a fork and handed it to the other party.
Xu Hongdou pursed her lips and said, "Wait a moment." Then she leaned forward slightly, opened her lips and teeth slightly, and ate the piece of meat. At the same time, she put some rice into her mouth with a spoon.
Compared to her own pork, she seems to be more satisfied with Zhang Wentao's mutton dalba.
Paying attention to the satisfaction shown in the corners of her eyes, Zhang Wentao asked: "How about we change?"
"No need." Xu Hongdou shook his head and motioned for the other party to continue eating quickly: "You eat quickly, I will taste it. I didn't expect that the curry here doesn't have a strong taste, and it doesn't taste as bad as I thought."
"Well, indeed."
After the two of them glanced at each other, they nodded in unison and ate their share of Dalba.
From time to time, they would exchange the meat on their plates with each other.
In the eyes of the people around them, they felt both sparse and ordinary, and also felt... envious.
How could this decadent-looking man in front of him capture the heart of a woman with such an outstanding appearance?!
Be so considerate to him in every possible way
She doesn’t just feed this man meat!
Just a few minutes ago, not long after the two of them sat down and ordered the food, the woman wiped the mouth of the drink bottle and inserted a straw for him.
The two of them are still so close to each other!
"After dinner, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that the vegetables and rice on the plate were almost finished, Xu Hongdou asked softly, with that caring look in his eyes again.
Zhang Wentao was stunned for a moment. After chewing twice and swallowing the food in his mouth, his tone was hesitant and heavy: "I think... I want to take a look. Madman's circle of friends has shared many photos of this place."
"I want to walk the same path he walked before."
"Then let me accompany you."
Xu Hongdou's tone was a little worried, but also a little unquestionable.
She felt that to experience the path that the other person has walked should be just like when she first stepped into Yunmiao Village, with the same longing for the past.
"Um."
Zhang Wentao nodded.
He also wanted to hold the other person's hand and keep walking like this.
It feels like, holding the other person's hand, his heart feels comforted, calm, and greedy.
Xu Hongdou smiled a little, and she felt that she saw a hint of determination in the other person's eyes just now.
"Then eat quickly, the portion is quite large."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at others. It seemed that here, they could still add rice, curry vegetables, and bean soup. However, the way the locals ate it with their hands made her feel a little...
Zhang Wentao followed Xu Hongdou's gaze and explained: "They think this will help them feel the temperature of the food better. Of course, there are also some religious reasons."
"It's like..."
At this point, Zhang Wentao suddenly stopped. He realized that if he continued talking, the "flavor" of this topic would be too strong.
Xu Hongdou turned around and glared at Zhang Wentao with a puffy face.
Having worked in a five-star hotel for so long, she must have some understanding of the cultures of various countries, so she naturally knows what the other person just said.
Seeing Xu Hongdou like this, Zhang Wentao suddenly remembered an idiom: eyebrows furrowed, eyes wide open.
Because it was too sad, there was a ripple in the calm heart after being depressed.
He believed that one day he would become better and let her feel the feeling she brought to him!
So, come on!
…
Delicious food makes people feel happy, but people who cook it may not feel this way.
Shi Tiandong was in a very irritable mood at the moment.
It was fine at noon, but in the evening, when he saw that the restaurant outside the kitchen was still filled with so many diners who came with expectations for good food, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Lao Shi, are you okay?" Sun Xiaowei was also a little anxious.
"Probably, probably, um, no problem."
Shi Tiandong gave ambiguous and inconsistent answers, obviously he was not completely sure.
"It's okay, come on, I believe in you." Sun Xiaowei encouraged Shi Tiandong and said, "I asked the waiter in the restaurant to explain to the guests that something happened to the chef in the restaurant and he cannot come to work for the past two days.
"
This morning, both of them received a call from Xu Hongdou, explaining that Zhang Wentao had to rush to Nepal to see off his friend for the last time and that he would not be able to come to the restaurant for the next two days.
Regarding Zhang Wentao's explanation of "Spring in the Garden", the two of them felt sorry for Zhang Wentao, but they were also worried about Zhang Wentao.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Wentao in the kitchen and Zhang Wentao in daily life are completely different people.
One person is confident, giving people the feeling that everything is under control, making anyone who sees him feel confident. The other person always reveals his inner uneasiness in tiny details.
In front of unfamiliar people, I either have a cold face and be defensive, or I live a little cautiously.
This kind of entangled performance may seem to some people to be pretentious, but some people know that it is closely related to a person's growth experience.
"Thank you, but..."
Looking at the diners outside the window and listening to Sun Xiaowei's words, Shi Tiandong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and with a determined expression on his face, he glanced at Sun Xiaowei dissatisfied and said, "I feel insulted."
Sun Xiaowei ignored it directly, then glanced sideways at the other person, and said seriously: "I, believe you!"
"That's pretty much it." With a smile, Shi Tiandong turned around, clapped his hands at the kitchen guys who were also looking uneasy and said, "Come on, everyone, today is your time to prove yourself! Don't let the customers outside wait too long.
, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Xie Liang clenched his fists. Seeing the confidence and pride that Shi Tiandong showed in his bones, he suddenly believed that he could do better tonight...
