After pushing Uncle Cheng out of the kitchen, Liao Jianing walked back and saw the three people in the kitchen. The smiles on everyone's faces slowly faded, replaced by subtle embarrassment.
Four people, two men and two women, are emotionally bound to each other. They were once good friends and good buddies, but now they cannot be lovers, and even friends are in trouble.
Tong Jiangxin felt really sad. She called Li Mingyang today. In fact, it was partly because she was leaving. Before leaving, she hoped that everyone could talk freely and get drunk without any emotional ties.
Although I know deep down in my heart that no one can pretend that nothing has happened, but in reality, they still do so. This is human beings, and everyone loves to deceive themselves and others.
Before the smile on her face completely disappeared, Tong Jiangxin raised the corners of her lips and reorganized a smile. She said, "Everyone finally got together tonight. What do you want to eat? Jia Ning and I will prepare it."
.
McGarloh said, "Everything is fine."
Li Mingyang said, "Let's prepare together, it will go faster."
Tong Jiangxin always had a smile on her face. She called to Liao Jianing and said, "Okay, we'll cook together as a team. The one who can cook will do the cooking, and the one who can't will be responsible for helping."
Liao Jianing walked to the fresh-keeping cabinet in the kitchen and opened it. There were four or five vegetables inside. She turned back to Tong Jiangxin and said, "Drive to a nearby vegetable market to add some vegetables."
Tong Jiang said happily, "Okay."
Li Mingyang and McGarlo said at the same time, "Take my car."
The smile that Tong Jiangxin managed to maintain felt a little stiff again, but within a moment, Liao Jianing said, "Mike is with Jiang Xin, and I am with Mingyang, so that they don't know the way."
Li Mingyang couldn't help but look at Liao Jianing. At this time, nothing else could be seen on Liao Jianing's face. If everyone didn't know what happened between them, they would be in a trance, and everything would be like before.
Ever since the emotional entanglement between Liao Jianing and Li Mingyang started, she had never called her Mingyang again. When she called her out this time, she didn't know if she really wanted to clear up the past grudges, or just on this day, let everyone go back to the past.
Tong Jiangxin's heart felt sour and tender. For her, Jia Ning could really let go of everything temporarily.
Because of Liao Jianing's words, a subtle change occurred in the hearts of the other three people, and even the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
McGaro said to Tong Jiangxin, "That's fine."
Tong Jiangxin smiled, and then the four of them went out together and drove to the nearest market in Mid-Levels.
All the rich people live in Mid-Levels, and every household is not served by servants. Works such as grocery shopping are done by servants unless the owner is willing.
As soon as the four people appeared at the entrance of the market, their outstanding appearance quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the market.
McGaro and Tong Jiangxin walked in front, while Liao Jianing and Li Mingyang walked behind. When they entered the market, the first thing they saw was the fish seller.
Tong Jiangxin turned back to Li Mingyang and said, "Don't you like to eat fish? There are all kinds of fish here. What kind do you want to eat?"
Li Mingyang looked at a long row of pools, with many kinds of fat fish lined up side by side. He glanced around and did not speak immediately.
Liao Jianing walked up to a fish seller and said, "Boss, how much does a pound of sea bass cost?"
The boss replied loudly, "Seventy-one pounds."
Liao Jianing kept looking in the pool. After a few seconds, she pointed at a bass and said, "Boss, weigh this one for me."
"Okay." The boss, wearing long rubber gloves, stretched out his hand and fished out a plump bass.
After weighing it, the boss replied loudly, "One and a half pounds, one hundred and five yuan."
Li Mingyang and McGaro both wanted to take their wallets, but Liao Jianing took the lead and said, "Boss, the seabass outside now costs 30 yuan a pound, why are you only 71 pounds? This is not good.
Too outrageous?"
The boss replied loudly, "Miss, there are still more than ten or twenty yuan per catty. Is this artificial breeding the same as the one coming out of the freshwater lake?"
Liao Jianing said, "Even if it's a natural bass, it's not the off-season now, so why can't it reach seventy-one pounds? Besides, it's not my first day here. I don't know how much you paid for this fish. So,
, I’ll give you fifty-one pounds, you can do it if you like.”
The boss looked at the seabass already packed in his hand. Although he looked embarrassed, seeing that Liao Jianing was also looking like he wanted to buy it or not, he had to say, "Hey, okay, okay, it's already night, fifty
Just fifty.”
A smile appeared on Liao Jianing's face, and she reached out and took the bag from the boss's hand.
Li Mingyang handed over a one hundred dollar bill, and the boss gave him twenty-five dollars.
Liao Jianing looked at the large transparent plastic bag in his hand. Even the fish and water weighed three to four kilograms.
Li Mingyang reached out and took the bag from Liao Jianing's hand, and then said, "I'll take it."
Liao Jianing didn't stop her, she just let go, then straddled Tong Jiangxin's arm, and the two women stepped forward.
"I also said that I would make bamboo shoot meat slices for Uncle Cheng. Let's go buy bamboo shoots."
Liao Jianing was more excited than usual when she went to the market. Tong Jiangxin also found it unreasonable because Liao Jianing actually said that she preferred going to the market to shopping in the mall.
The four of them walked forward, two in front and two in back, and arrived at the place where bamboo shoots were sold. Liao Jianing picked the bamboo shoots, and Li Mingyang paid the bill and was responsible for getting the vegetables.
Tong Jiangxin seemed to remember something, and she said, "By the way, go to the store in front to buy cooking wine. Their cooking wine is all brewed by themselves, and the cooking is delicious."
Tong Jiangxin and Liao Jianing were traveling like queens, followed by two bodyguards. Wherever the four of them went, they attracted everyone's attention, but they were usually people who were used to being noticed, so they didn't think anything of it.
awkward.
When we arrived at the store selling cooking wine, the proprietress met Tong Jiangxin. She smiled and said, "Miss Tong is here."
Tong Jiangxin also smiled and replied, "Sister Hua, give me four two-pound bottles of cooking wine."
The landlady responded with a smile, then turned around and returned to the back room. Liao Jianing said, "Why did you buy so much?"
Tong Jiangxin replied, "After dinner, you three will also take a bottle back."
The proprietress came out from behind quickly, and she was holding a big bag in her hand. Just as Tong Jiangxin was about to reach out to pick it up, a hand stretched out from behind her, and it was McGaro.
McGullough took the bag and asked, "How much?"
The landlady glanced at McGaro, then smiled and said, "Haha, you came with your friends?"
Although he talks about friends, the look in his eyes clearly says, "Are you your boyfriend?"
