This time for Zhuge Yun's birthday, he was treated to hot pot.
Everyone in Jianghuai City likes it when they come to eat, and when they go out to eat, it’s basically hot pot.
Secondly, this hot pot is relatively cost-effective and the per capita consumption is not high, making it more suitable for students.
Although Zhuge Yun's family is a wealthy family, he did not ask for money from his family for his birthday this time. He used his usual pocket money.
Worried about Yu Jin's foot injury, Jiang Muqing took a taxi and arrived at the agreed place.
This is an old hot pot restaurant with a relatively remote location, hidden in an underground air raid shelter.
There is no high-end decoration, no exquisite tableware, and no elegant environment, but the business is booming and there are many customers.
The people who come here to eat are basically locals.
Tourists from out of town are basically fooled by the conspicuous chain hot pot restaurants on the street.
It’s not that chain hot pot restaurants are a trap, it’s because chain hot pots are more comprehensive in order to cater for the tastes from all over the country, and they simply don’t have the original local taste.
Because Zhuge Yun had made a reservation in advance, there was no queue when Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing arrived.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them went directly into the partitioned small private room.
In the room, Zhuge Yun, Chen Yang, Liu Han and Tang Xiaoli had already arrived, and their seats were reserved for them, right between Chen Yang and Tang Xiaoli.
Yu Jin sat down next to Chen Yang and Jiang Muqing next to Tang Xiaoli.
When everyone arrived, there was a round table for eight, which was very spacious for six people and not crowded at all.
Chen Yang spoke first: "Yu Jin, Jiang Muqing, are you going on a date this afternoon? You're just here! We're getting hungry waiting for you."
"Didn't I say we made an appointment at six o'clock?"
Yu Jin retorted: "I didn't know you were here so early. It's not our fault."
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's order."
Zhuge Yun asked: "What kind of pot should we eat?"
"Of course it's a red pot, no need to ask."
"Yes, red pot, red pot, the spiciest kind."
After Zhuge Yun heard this, he turned to Tang Xiaoli and asked, "Tang Xiaoli, can you eat spicy food?"
"Um."
Tang Xiaoli nodded: "I'm fine."
"Okay, let's eat the spiciest red pot."
"..." Yu Jin was speechless at the side.
He suffered a loss just last week, and he really didn't want to suffer again this time, but he was embarrassed to say it.
Because he will definitely be laughed at by these guys.
What's more, Jiang Muqing is still sitting next to him, so he can't lose face!
Today I have to bite the bullet and eat everything!
Hearing everyone asking for red pot, Jiang Muqing glanced at Yu Jin next to her and saw that he actually held back and had no objection!
I laughed secretly in my heart.
It’s so hard to save face and suffer!
You obviously can’t eat spicy food, but you still have to pretend here!
So she said, "Sorry, I don't like spicy food very well. How about... let's order a medium spicy mandarin duck pot?"
Yu Jin looked at Jiang Muqing next to her in surprise.
Doesn't she like spicy food?
what is it today?
Modified?
But no matter what, she finally solved the problem for herself and no longer had to eat the hottest red pot.
Faced with Jiang Muqing's request, everyone naturally agreed after hearing the words.
"Then Yuanyang Hotpot."
Zhuge Yun checked off the menu, handed it to the others, and said, "Order whatever you like to eat and drink."
"Then we won't be polite today."
"It's okay, just order. I have enough money."
Although Fatty asked everyone not to be polite and order casually, but everyone was not really trying to trick the landlord. They only ordered expensive dishes, which were often eaten.
When Jiang Muqing ordered, all the dishes Yu Jin liked to eat when eating hot pot were all the dishes, such as duck blood, fresh hairy tripe, shrimp dumplings, fresh meat rolls, etc.
So when it was Yu Jin's turn to order, he didn't have anything good to order.
Because Jiang Muqing had ordered all the items he liked to eat, he symbolically ordered a snack pumpkin pie and handed it to the waiter.
After a while, the food came.
And a few bottles of beer.
Tang Xiaoli looked at the wine and asked, "Are we still going to drink today?"
"Of course, today is the fat man's eighteenth year, so he naturally has to celebrate."
Chen Yang poured the wine and explained, "It's just for us boys to drink, you girls can just drink juice."
"Isn't it bad to drink?"
Tang Xiaoli said: "We are still students."
"It's okay to drink occasionally."
Jiang Muqing reminded from the side: "But you can drink, but you can only drink one bottle, and you must not get drunk."
"We only plan to drink one bottle, not too much."
Zhuge Yun smiled and said, "After dinner, we will go to KTV to sing later. I have booked the room."
"Fat man is so awesome!"
Chen Yang raised his cup and said, "Come, let's toast the fat man today and wish him a happy eighteenth birthday!"
"Happy birthday!" Everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses.
Zhuge Yun said happily: "Thank you everyone!"
After a glass of birthday wine, everyone let go.
Eat when you should, drink when you should, and chat when you should.
Although there were only six people, the atmosphere was very lively. Everyone talked about school gossip, embarrassing things that had happened, and their own future ideals.
During the meal, Tang Xiaoli found an opportunity and asked Jiang Muqing in a low voice: "Did you buy a gift?"
"Yes, I bought it."
"Then when will you give it to him?"
"decide as things go."
Jiang Muqing said: "I guess Yu Jin and the others will give it away when they plan to eat birthday cake in the KTV."
"Okay, I'll give it to him at that time."
Tang Xiaoli asked worriedly: "What did you give me? I'm a space doll. I made it myself. It's not valuable. He won't dislike it, right?"
"Won't."
Jiang Muqing consoled her, "What I gave you is also a cheap figure, but the one given by Yu Jin and the others is even more special."
"What is it?"
Jiang Muqing smiled quietly and said, "The other two people don't know. Yu Jin didn't say anything. Anyway, he seems to have prepared a set of "College Entrance Examination Sprint Test Papers". He said he wished him good study and success every day."
"Ah this..." Tang Xiaoli was stunned when she heard this.
Can this also be given as a gift?
"So don't worry. Even if the fat man wants to dislike it, he will definitely dislike their gift. It won't be my turn or your turn."
Tang Xiaoli smiled and said, "When you put it like that, it seems to be the case."
Before coming, she was a little worried that the gifts she gave were not good enough and that she would be looked down upon compared with others.
But now after listening to Jiang Muqing's words, it seems that her own is not too "bad".
I wonder what strange gifts Chen Yang and Liu Han will give?
Next to them, several boys had finished a bottle of beer.
Yu Jin's face was already a little red and a little warm.
This was his first time drinking.
This beer tastes really bad!
Seeing this, Jiang Muqing poured him a glass of juice and handed it to him.
"Drink this, it will make you feel better."
