Turn around the next day.
Because the landlord increased the rent for the three of them by a total of 900 yuan, with Qiu Yingying's salary, there was not much left after paying the rent. In order to save money, she decided to cook by herself, which was more cost-effective than going out to a restaurant.
She got up early and went to the supermarket outside the community to grab a bunch of specials, including fresh beef brisket.
Guan Ju'er had a good night's sleep. When she got up, she found that Qiu Yingying had cut potatoes and beef and was boiling water in a pot, preparing to make her father's favorite home-cooked dish - potato stew with beef.
"Guan Guan, please praise me, praise me."
"Why are you praising you?" Guan Ju'er said sleepily.
"Let me tell you, there was a promotion in the supermarket outside the community this morning. These vegetables are fresh and cheap. Look, I bought potatoes, eggplants, green onions, and a few heads of green garlic. Guess how much it cost? Less than twenty Yuan, and this beef brisket, look at how soft and elastic the meat is, and the texture is clear and even. It only costs 32 yuan per pound. Not only did I successfully break through the aunts’ pursuit, but I also carried them back alone, but I was exhausted. Me."
Guan Ju'er shook his head helplessly and extended his thumb: "Yingying, you are much better than me."
"Hey Hey……"
When Qiu Yingying was grinning sillyly, the sliding door opened with a bang. Fan Shengmei walked out and saw the steaming rice cooker on the gas stove, so she quickly opened the door a crack.
"Guan Guan, let me tell you, this beef must be blanched before stewing, you know, because there is blood in it. If it is not blanched, it will seriously affect the taste. And there is also a trick to blanching beef, drop some fragrance Adding vinegar can prevent the meat from getting old and deteriorating.”
"Hey, little earthworm, you know a lot." Fan Shengmei sat down in front of the dining table, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot water.
"My dad told me this." Qiu Yingying said, "Sister Fan, I'm doing your part too."
Fan Shengmei said: "No, I will probably go out to eat at noon."
Guan Ju'er put on the clean glasses: "Do you have another date?"
Fan Shengmei just smiled and said nothing.
Qiu Yingying was not happy over there: "What should we do? We have made so much and we can't finish it."
Guan Ju'er said: "Yingying, why don't you ask Brother Lin? I met him downstairs yesterday and he said he wasn't going anywhere this morning and wanted to catch up on his sleep at home."
"Yes, yes, yes." Qiu Yingying wiped the handle, ignored Fan Shengmei's unhappy look, took out her mobile phone from the pocket on the back of her apron and dialed Lin Yue's number.
"Brother Lin, it's me, Qiu Yingying, are you at home? I made potato stewed beef brisket today, and I want to give you a bowl to try."
"..."
"Oh, okay, I get it."
Qiu Yingying hung up the phone happily and nodded to Guan Ju'er.
Both of them knew that Fan Shengmei didn't like Lin Yue, but it was the same thing. Lin Yue couldn't stand Fan Shengmei, but he was very kind to them. What's more, wasn't he right to scold her that time at the Private Kitchen restaurant? Why can you humiliate Wang Baichuan, but Wang Baichuan has to endure the humiliation because he is a man? Because he loves you very much?
To be honest, sixth grade primary school students all know that love is mutual. Today you buy me candy, and tomorrow I will treat you to spicy strips.
Dong Dong Dong~
Hearing a knock on the door from the corridor, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer turned their faces and saw Lin Yue standing at the door, looking like he had just taken a shower.
"Brother Lin, you came so quickly." Guan Ju'er greeted with a smile.
When Fan Shengmei saw him coming, Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er had happy faces again. If they told him to get out, there might be chaos in the world. Seeing 2:1, I couldn't take advantage, so I simply turned around and entered the house, opened the sliding door, and was out of sight, out of mind.
Qiu Yingying looked embarrassed: "But the beef has just been stewed and it will take a while to be cooked."
Lin Yue waved his hand: "I'm not here to eat."
As he spoke, he took out two tickets from his pocket and handed them over: "The day before yesterday, someone gave me two music tickets. They said that there would be a classical music concert held by amateur musicians at the Lyceum Theater in the afternoon. Although the level varied, But occasionally there will be refreshing programs, so if you are interested, just go and relax.”
"classical music?"
Qiu Yingying had no idea about this. Guan Juer quickly took the two tickets: "Brother Lin, will you go?"
Lin Yue said: "I probably don't have time to go to the concert."
Guan Ju'er was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin."
As the three of them were talking, a figure flashed outside the corridor. Qu Xiaoxiao came to the door, took a glance and found that Lin Yue was talking to them. She leaned against the door frame and said, "The surname is Lin. I was at MINT yesterday. What do you mean?"
Lin Yue said: "What do you mean by me?"
"Is this interesting to you? If someone doesn't like you, they'll chase you and bite them. You look like a mad dog."
"It's a joke. Someone invited me to dinner with the intention of apologizing, and asked what I wanted to eat. I said Western food, and they said there was a high-end Western restaurant above the buddy bar. I said yes, and the two of us went. You can meet Fan Shengmei by chance, Can't I meet Dr. Zhao by chance? Do I still like you? Are you worthy? Faced with such a cheesy face, I don't think you are affecting my appetite, but you are barking first. Who is the mad dog? "
Qu Xiaoxiao was confused by his scolding. She went to the M1NT bar when it opened. It was indeed opened by Yao Bin's friend's house, as was the Western restaurant above. To say that treating guests to dinner or something, it was indeed high-end, and the logic was correct. , but... how can there be any reason for two men to eat Western food?
"Two men went to eat Western food. There is a word called GAY in GAY. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"What's wrong with GAY? GAY can at least contribute to society and make men with normal sexual orientation less competitive and more likely to find wives. There are some women who have yellow skin and black eyes, but they still get married. I rush to be an EASY GIRL, sleep with a white guy, and I can even talk about worshiping foreigners, and I can even swallow black ones. Do you think this is abnormal? But I don’t know that some high-quality men in China, such as doctors, lawyers, and bankers, encounter this What kind of experience would it be like for a girl who has returned from overseas? When you study abroad and see the world, of course you have to try everything, right? People who truly love you will also accept your miserable past? Have you drank too much poisonous chicken soup? To be honest, I feel really sorry for a certain guy."
"You... you are a gangster! You are a scumbag! You are a bastard!"
Lin Yue smiled and imitated her speech: "You...you bitch! Bitch! Promiscuous girl!"
Who is Qu Xiaoxiao in the TV series? She dances in disco, drags cars, seduces men, partying... She makes promiscuous remarks about innocence several times, and bluntly tells Zhao Qiping that she only likes his looks. Girls like this Hey, in the United States, without parental restraint, what will happen to teacher supervision? She herself once said in front of Andy that her English skills were good at hooking up with muscular men, but not according to professional information. Since she said that, she must have hooked up before. Which skin color has the most muscular men in the United States?
He almost burst out laughing when he saw Zhao Qiping telling Qu Xiaoxiao that he liked her frankness. Damn, the attending physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the Sixth Hospital, an elite man with good looks, talent, and academic qualifications, could be so brainless. What the hell was sitting across from him? Can't even see it? What about logic?
It’s really good to use a toothpick to stir a big vat~
Of course, maybe this is what people like.
It’s delicious!
Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that he couldn't speak. She snorted coldly, pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
Qiu Yingying giggled twice and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Lin, you are so awesome. Such a sharp-tongued Qu Yaoying has never won against you."
Guan Ju'er looked puzzled: "Brother Lin, emotional matters...are they so important in the past?"
"Alas." He sighed: "You have watched too many movies and TV series. Beautiful women want to find rich men, and rich men want to find beautiful women. So what about men who are better than rich men? Yes. Wouldn't you be more willing to choose a beautiful woman without any stains? For men, if their girlfriend's past is a thorn, those who are able to pull it out will naturally pull it out, and those who are not able to pull it out can only endure it. Maybe the feeling of love can relieve the pain, But it has a time limit, because two people can’t be in love forever.”
Guan Juer nodded as if he understood.
"Let's go." Lin Yue waved to them and turned to leave.
This Guan Ju'er, in the TV series, is obsessed with imitating Andy, believing that hard work can make him excellent, but he never thinks about whether this kind of excellence is defined from a woman's perspective or a man's perspective. If women were to judge, Andy would indeed be called excellent, but what if men were to judge?
Of course, TV series are for women, not for men. No matter what the protagonists do, there will be high-quality idiots to take over. As for whether it is realistic or not, that doesn't matter.
"Brother Lin, I'll bring it to you when the food is ready." Qiu Yingying's voice came from behind.
"good."
