At six o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang, and the dark wooden door of No. 54 Hippo Street slowly opened from the inside.
The moment the door opened, the person outside was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized and greeted him proactively: "Are you Duanmu? I'm Lei Lanting, Dong Qiangqiang's buddy. Hey, I'm sorry, I have so many things in my hands, I can't help Shake your hand."
"Come in. Dong Qiangqiang asked me to wait for you." Duanmu Xinghao said as he took the plastic bag in his hand, "Oh, it's really heavy. You really bought a lot."
"There are many happy events today. We need to celebrate well." Lei Lanting handed Duanmu a few plastic bags from his hand, tapped his heel lightly, and naturally closed the door. He rubbed his shoulders and followed Duanmu upstairs: "Hey, old Dong, what did he do?"
Duanmu turned around and said, "He said he wanted to buy some steel wire and some special ingredients."
Lei Lanting knew that the special ingredients refer to the raw materials used to catch pigs. He changed the topic and said, "Is everyone else here? I heard that Lao Dong said you are studying mathematics?"
"It's just us now. Yes, I'm in applied mathematics. What about you?"
"computer."
While talking, the two walked to the kitchen door. When the door opened, they saw two induction cookers on the table, with a stainless steel pot on each.
"Lao Dong said that hot pot is best for a crowd. Come on, I'll cut the meat, and you can wash the dishes before choosing." Lei Lanting ordered while rolling up his sleeves.
Duanmu was very happy and immediately got busy without saying anything.
Unlike North America and Commonwealth countries, Germany does not have Chinatowns. Many German cities only have Asian supermarkets. Most of these supermarkets are opened by Vietnamese or Filipinos and sell very little domestic food. There are almost no ready-made foods like mutton slices and beef slices. You have to buy whole pieces of beef and mutton from German supermarkets and slice them yourself. Therefore, the cooking skills of many international students in Germany have improved very quickly. If they want to eat well, they cannot Lazy hands.
The two of them were chatting casually, and when the kitchen door opened, Dong Qiangqiang walked in carrying a bag and a box of beer.
"I'll go, Jin Baker, my favorite." Lei Lanting put down the knife, picked up a bottle from the box with a smile on his face, held the bottle, and stuck the bottle cap on the side of the dining table. He raised his hand and put his palm down, and the bottle cap clicked. fall.
"You want a bottle too?" Dong Qiangqiang looked at Duanmu, who waved his hand with a smile.
Lei Lanting saw Dong Qiangqiang stuffing a few bottles of beer into the freezer, then neatly placing the remaining beer and juice into the refrigerator compartment, and finally putting a few washed cups into the refrigerator compartment.
Seeing Lei Lanting's surprised look, Dong Qiangqiang smiled: "The weather is a bit hot, so beer needs to be chilled to taste better. I especially like to drink the kind with some crushed ice. Moreover, whether it is drinking or drinking, It’s best to chill the cup, and the feeling will be different immediately. It is said that the Vikings in ancient Northern Europe would take a few sips of this kind of spirit with ice slag before going to sea, and you will know it in a while.”
Lei Lanting stuck out his tongue and was about to lower his head and continue cutting the mutton slices when Dong Qiangqiang suddenly asked: "Are you taking the leg of lamb?"
"Yes." Lei Lanting turned over the leg of lamb on the chopping board, "It's not easy to cut."
"Then you put it on the chopping board, and I'll cut it when you eat later. This kind of lamb leg only feels good when you cut it and rinse it at the same time."
"Okay." Lei Lanting's hand hurt and he was about to rest. Hearing Dong Qiangqiang say he would do it, he happily threw the knife on the chopping board. Just as he was about to go out to smoke a cigarette, Dong Qiangqiang ordered again: "You put the plate and After all the dishes have been washed, there will definitely not be enough plates at Duanmu."
At 6:32, the doorbell rang again downstairs, and Tong Lele's voice came from the access control in the kitchen: "We're here." Another voice followed her and said: "And me, hehehe."
Lei Lanting pressed the door button without thinking and urged: "Come up quickly, I'm waiting for you."
When Tong Lele and He Yuanjin slowly walked up the stairs, the three boys suddenly felt their eyes light up.
Tong Lele's style is different from that in the court that morning: her long black hair is draped behind her shoulders, with a light green hairpin on her head, a pair of slender diamond pendant earrings hanging on her ears, and her slender neck looks like Like a swan neck. He wore a pure white long-sleeved shirt on his upper body, with three buttons open at the collar, and a thin gold chain hanging around his fair neck could be seen. Wearing a pair of water-brushed blue slim-fitting jeans on the lower body, the trouser legs are cut close to the body, allowing the straight and smooth lines of Tong Lele's long legs to be seen at a glance, Lei Lanting's eyes immediately couldn't be taken away.
"Let me introduce you, this is He Yuanjin, my junior sister."
Because He Yuanjin had been in Germany for the shortest time, she was still dressed like a domestic school girl. After getting to know each other, everyone's eyes naturally turned back to Tong Lele.
"It looks so rich. I haven't had hot pot for a long time since I came to Germany." Tong Lele glanced at Dong Qiangqiang who was busy, "Where should I sit?"
"You must sit here." Lei Lanting quickly dusted the chair next to him, although it was not dirty.
"Okay. Then I'll sit here." He Yuanjin, who was as big as a brat, sat down and looked at Lei Lanting longingly, "Brother Lei, do you have anything to drink? I'm tired from walking and a little thirsty. .”
Lei Lanting looked at He Yuanjin angrily and pointed at the refrigerator: "There's some in there, take it yourself." Then he immediately said to Tong Lele: "Lele, there's still room here." After saying that, he dusted himself hard. Chair surface on the other side.
Tong Lele smiled and said nothing, walked diagonally across from Lei Lanting, pointed at the two pots on the table and asked Dong Qiangqiang: "Which of the two is the spicy pot?"
Before Dong Qiangqiang answered, Lei Lanting jumped in and said, "Don't keep asking him, his mission hasn't been completed yet. Ask me. The one on your left is spicy, and the one on the right far away from you is not spicy. .”
The more the merrier. Before long, several plates of vegetables and meat were neatly stacked around the induction cooker. After everyone chatted for a while, the red oil soup in the spicy pot began to bubble and bubble. After a while, the water in the clear soup pot also started to boil.
"Hey, Lei Lanting, is your girl coming or not?" Tong Lele deliberately joked, "Should we wait or not?"
"My brother Lei has a girl again?" He Yuanjin asked Tong Lele pretending to be surprised.
"Hey, you two, don't sing in unison." Lei Lanting hurriedly distanced himself, "What do you mean 'my girl'? What kind of girl do I have?"
Just as he was about to stand up and sit next to Tong Lele, the phone in his pocket rang. He shouted "Hey, hey" and walked out of the kitchen.
This was the first time Dong Qiangqiang had dinner with so many people since he came to Germany. Although he had not yet mentioned anything about his studies, he found a job by accident, which was really beyond his expectation. Sometimes the situation in life is really strange: you don't get what you are chasing after, and what you put in unintentionally is flourishing.
"She will be here as soon as she speaks. Please wait patiently for a while." Lei Lanting walked into the kitchen and said loudly.
