On the way back together, Xu Hongdou kept looking at the Erhai Lake outside the car, and there was no communication the whole time.
The breeze gently caressed her hair, the sea surface was shining with golden light, and the beautiful waves were like her hair that swayed in the wind from time to time, charming and moving.
Approaching the entrance of Yunmiao Village, Xu Hongdou took the initiative to scan the QR code hanging on the front seat, waited for the car to stop, paid the fare, and got out of the car.
Zhang Wentao was not given any chance to react.
"Young man, did you have a fight with your girlfriend?" The driver looked at the leaving female customer with gloating eyes and said to Zhang Wentao.
"no."
Zhang Wentao waved his hand calmly and got out of the car with his laptop bag.
This woman is really weird. What did she do wrong? She was afraid that the other party would misunderstand her and didn't even send her a WeChat message... but the other party even lost her temper.
The two of them came to Youfeng Restaurant one after another.
Xu Hongdou, who was sitting at the bar ordering something with Nana, saw Zhang Wentao coming over, "hum", put away his smile, and walked inside with the menu.
"What's wrong with you two?"
Zhang Wentao walked into the store, ordered some food and orange juice under the curious gaze of the other party, and was asked quietly by the other party.
"Nothing."
"How come Sister Hongdou is so impatient when she sees you?" Nana blinked.
"How do I know?" Zhang Wentao shrugged.
"By the way, thank you for the wonton stew you specially made for me in the morning. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Hey, thank you for your hard work." Seeing that Zhang Wentao couldn't find any gossip, Nana changed the subject. At this moment, she thought of the bowl in the morning.
The wonton stew makes me feel happy.
What was specially made for you? Zhang Wentao’s forehead is full of folds, and these are all nothing.
Time passed very quickly. At one or two o'clock in the afternoon when the weather was the hottest, many customers came to the Youfeng restaurant. Grandma Caiyun, Grandma Xiuying and Nana were very busy soon.
"There are too many people, I have no room." Xu Hongdou took her book and a cup of cold brew tea and sat down without ceremony and said.
"Um."
Zhang Wentao, who was lowering his head to deal with the mail, raised his head and saw that the other party had already sat down, and gave him an awkward look.
Is she still angry? Or is she not angry?
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
It's better not to guess wrong, since your chances of getting it right are not high anyway.
After he lowered his head and focused on the computer screen, Xu Hongdou quietly put down the book she was using to hide her embarrassment, exposed her eyes, and glanced at the other person.
I secretly encouraged myself: As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Anyway, I didn't come here on purpose. There really was no place for the guests in the small courtyard to sit.
The latest edition of the "Michelin Food Guide" was released in Strasbourg, a city in eastern France. The new version of the Food Guide has 44 star chefs at all levels, 39 of whom are newly selected one-star chefs. One chef was selected as a three-star chef.
, was also the only newly promoted three-star chef last year.
Looking at the other party's familiar name, Zhang Wentao sighed.
He has met this person and has been to the restaurant, which is located on Noirmoutier Island and is very good at making seafood dishes.
His chef and the original restaurant, affected by the loss of stars last time, did not participate in the selection this year and remained at two stars. However, what surprised him was that this year a 26-year-old chef Gabusi received one star.
Achievement and also won the Young Chef Award.
Being able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age made Zhang Wentao, who received one star at the age of 27, two stars at the age of 29, and fell back to one star at the age of 30, feel inside.
Today's young people are becoming more and more powerful, and the top chef industry is also very involved.
Even though I am in a remote village now, I still feel pressure all the time...
Xu Hongdou read for a while. When she couldn't read any more, she picked up her drink and glanced at the man opposite who was wearing the same gray hoodie as she was yesterday and was smacking his teeth at the screen.
That's great, this guy also has troubles.
She didn't know why, but seeing this man's deflated appearance made her feel happy.
It was as if she was being bullied and someone was helping her vent her anger.
Xu Hongdou, who was in a happy mood, simply put her elbows on the table to support her chin, held the straw in her mouth sideways, and took a big sip regardless of her appearance. Her cheeks were bulging so cutely.
"Xu Hongdou."
"Xie Zhiyao? Have you found Ayuan?"
Not long after he relaxed, a motorcycle that had just returned from the ancient town parked outside the window of Youfeng Restaurant. Xie Zhiyao, who was wearing a helmet, got off the car and saw the two people sitting by the window.
Seeing Xu Hongdou staring at Zhang Wentao who was silent and immersed in his work, he subconsciously made a surprised sound.
Xu Hongdou came back to his senses, saw Xie Zhiyao, and immediately inquired about Xie Zhiyuan's news. Zhang Wentao, whose train of thought was interrupted, also turned his head to look at Xie Zhiyao, but his expression was not as anxious as Xu Hongdou's.
It's calm.
"No, I ran away from home. I took my bag with me and two changes of clothes." Xie Zhiyao dodged his eyes for a moment, then looked at Xu Hongdou.
"I really didn't say it, so what should I do?"
"This is not important." Xie Zhiyao walked into the store, took a glass of mineral water from Nana's hand, opened it and took a sip, sitting next to Xu Hongdou and said.
"No, this is very, very important! I didn't say it."
When Xu Hongdou heard this, she got angry. She obviously didn't mention it to anyone, but now Xie Zhiyuan ran away from home because of this matter. If something happened outside, she couldn't bear the responsibility, nor could she bear it later.
of rumors.
In order to emphasize that she really didn't say anything, she raised her hand and said:
"Really, I swear, I never even talked in my sleep."
Seeing this, Xie Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't reveal the fact that he knew where his brother was. There were many people in the small restaurant, and if his brother got the news, he might not know where he went.
That’s when you can really find the needle in the haystack.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyao could only temporarily feel aggrieved to Xu Hongdou and said, "If not, then there won't be."
"What do you mean if there is no, there is no... right?! If there is no, there is no!"
"Okay, then..."
Xu Hongdou's attitude became more and more irritating, which made Xie Zhiyao regret sitting over. He hesitated for a while and was about to leave, but Xu Hongdou grabbed his arm: "Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, but if you don't believe it,
I, you don’t want to be perfunctory about what I mean, right?”
"No, you two brothers can't get along and accuse me unjustly."
As she spoke, Xu Hongdou felt suddenly aggrieved. She subconsciously glanced helplessly at Zhang Wentao, who was sitting next to him eating melon, hoping that someone could express his trust in her at this moment.
But Zhang Wentao disappointed her, and he still looked like he didn't care about anything that had nothing to do with him.
Xie Zhiyao quickly said: "Mainly the whole village, only you and me know about this matter. I'm not saying that you told this matter, but I didn't tell it either. So what, the people in this village
Everyone knows."
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment. Yes, Xie Zhiyao didn't say it, and he didn't say it either. How did others know about this?
Why, the more I explain this matter, the more unclear it becomes?
"It's not important, it's not important."
"The most important thing is to find your brother now, right now."
Xu Hongdou reasoned in his mind. It was too difficult to explain clearly that he had never told anyone about this.
