Chapter Twenty-Four
Zhong Manqi's index finger was moving. She hadn't had such a big meal for a long time. At this moment, she could not help but eat, but she still held back, smiled reservedly, and politely refused to pour Zhang Wenjie into the wine. Then, under the affection of Zhang Wenjie and his wife, she moved her chopsticks in great anticipation.
The atmosphere at the table was warm and the conversation was harmonious. Although everyone was very happy, to be honest, they had only known each other for a short time and had few common topics. As they were chatting, they talked about the fire in Apocalypse Square a few days ago.
Neither Zhong Manqi nor Mrs. Zhang experienced the fire personally at that time, but only learned about some general situation from the subsequent news. At this time, listening to the conversation between Chen Shu and Zhang Wenjie, he also learned about some things that were not broadcast on the news.
"It's so thrilling..." Mrs. Zhang heard that the fireworks filled the entire building, and her expression was full of fear. She hurriedly hugged Minmin, who was peeling a big shrimp beside her. Zhang Wenjie next to her also looked scared and kept saying grateful words to Chen Shu again.
Chen Shu felt that nothing was wrong. In that case, it would be fine if he didn't rush into the building. Since he rushed in, he would naturally rescue Minmin safely. As for the injuries on his hand, although he had wrapped a large bag of bandages, it looked like Doraemon, but in fact it was just a skin injury. The pain was the pain point, but this level of pain... he had long been used to it.
"Boss, listen, it's so dangerous. If you don't give me some pension, will your conscience hurt?"
Zhong Manqi glanced at Chen Shu: "The pensions are all given to the dead, why don't you die first and show me?"
Zhang Wenjie and his wife burst into laughter and hurriedly said such things that they should not be said randomly. Everyone slaps together and spit a few times.
The atmosphere gradually reached a high point. In addition to Minmin, who was still peeling shrimps and eating shrimp meat, the four adults talked about topics they were interested in. Zhang Wenjie and Chen Shu were naturally talking about that fire. He was a firefighter and was a captain before retiring. Naturally, he was the most sensitive to things like fires. He also had a lot of skills to talk about such things in his own field. From time to time, he would spit out a few professional words that were difficult to understand, which made Mrs. Zhang and Zhong Manqi beside him confused. So the two women laughed and started to talk about other topics.
I can hear it faintly, mostly skin care water and whitening creams, and occasionally I will talk about parenting experience...
Chen Shu glanced at Zhong Manqi and knew that Zhong Manqi was just pretending to be very wise and chatting with Mrs. Zhang. After all, she has no children and is even a single dog who doesn’t even have a boyfriend. How can she know her parenting experience?
However, Chen Shu himself understood the profession of firefighters very well. During the conversation with Zhang Wenjie, he not only could understand all the professional words Zhang Wenjie said, but he would even ask some firefighting questions from time to time. At the same time, he would learn from one example and implement it after returning to the company. In addition, he would occasionally say something that made Zhang Wenjie feel a little confused and answer questions for Zhang Wenjie.
Zhang Wenjie was excited and felt that Chen Shu was a confidant with him. The more he talked, the happier he became. He couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Wenjie was so proud that he wanted the waiter to bring another bottle of good wine, but this time he was stopped by Chen Shu. After all, although the white wine was drunk, he could not drink it one by one. In the end, the waiter brought a box of beer.
Zhang Wenjie ordered the waiter to carry beer and add two more side dishes. Chen Shu picked up a crab and put it on the plate in front of Minmin. At the same time, he suddenly felt that Zhong Manqi next to him glanced at him, knowing that she was embarrassed to take the initiative to take the chopsticks and ask him to pick one for her.
Chen Shu had no choice but to pick up another one for Zhong Manqi, but this scene fell into Mrs. Zhang's eyes opposite, which made her face add a bit of indescribable smile. Then he suddenly approached Zhong Manqi and said something in a low voice. Zhong Manqi, who was looking at the hairy crabs with his eyes lit up, was stunned when he heard this, blushed, and then turned his head incredibly to look at Chen Shu, and hurriedly waved his hand at Mrs. Zhang.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, brother Chen, don't just pick up food for them, you can eat too." Zhang Wenjie was a little overwhelmed, his face flushed, grabbed the wine glass and touched Chen Shu, and drank it all in one go, making Minmin, who kept persuading him to drink less, look helpless.
Chen Shu took a sip and couldn't be too much of the liquor, otherwise it would be spicy. Nodded and picked up the dishes, just a few dishes on the table... To be honest, the wine and dishes at Desheng Restaurant are quite good, especially the color and fragrance. Whether it is the exquisite placing, the strong or ethereal aroma of the dish, it is definitely enough for every dish on the table to score at least 70 or 80 points, well, the full score is 10.
But I don’t know what happened. Today, when eating these dishes, he always felt that these dishes were a bit unfavorable...
After sweeping around the dishes on the table, Chen Shu smacked his lips, picked up a piece of cold melon beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it, but he felt a little greasy. The dish looked good, but the taste always made him feel that it was not pure enough, and it seemed not as delicious as he had expected.
As he chewed, Chen Shu slapped his mouth and suddenly felt that he might know what the problem was. He couldn't help but pick up another piece of beef and stuff it into his mouth. It was still greasy. Although he was also thorny, he always felt that something was missing.
Lianggua beef, this is just an ordinary stir-fry and popular dish. There is no authentic or unauthentic statement, but at this time Chen Shu felt that this Lianggua beef is really unauthentic... Chen Shu vaguely remembered that he had eaten such a coldgua beef a few days ago. When he sneered, he didn't feel anything. He just thought it was very good and tasted good, but now he compared it.
Whether it is people or wine or food, what I fear most is comparison. After this comparison, Chen Shu suddenly felt that the dish of cold melon beef he ate in Zhang Haifeng's small fried midnight snack shop that day may not be as good as the plate in front of him in terms of color and fragrance, but at least several times more than the plate in front of him in terms of taste.
Chen Shu suddenly had an idea, that is, if Zhang Haifeng could be a chef at Desheng Restaurant. If you remember correctly, Desheng Restaurant is now recruiting chefs... But I think that Zhang Haifeng probably wouldn't agree. First, he has a small shop himself, and second, he is still a person with a criminal record. Even if he agrees, Desheng Restaurant will probably not hire him.
What I care about most about such a big restaurant is this kind of reputation that is so stupid.
