11. News from the railway station
We had lunch at a tavern by Changshou Lake. The area was only about twenty square meters. There were two sets of mahogany tables and chairs with slightly peeling paint in the hall. The decoration style was simple and natural.
There is an advantage here. When you look up, you will see the sparkling Changshou Lake. The tide gently laps on the shore, making it very relaxing.
Xiao Rongyu originally wondered why Chen Hansheng took him around so far, but now he feels that it is quiet and comfortable here, but he doesn't know how the food tastes.
"Xiao Chen, how did you know there was a restaurant here?"
Wang Zibo also thinks that the environment is very good, but the boss is not enthusiastic at all. He doesn't know how to get the menu when he sees the customers. He just takes a look and starts cooking directly.
"What a strange store." Wang Zibo muttered again.
Xiao Rongyu and Wang Zibo had never seen this style, but Chen Hansheng knew that this place would become a famous private chef restaurant on the edge of Changshou Lake in more than ten years.
What is a "private chef"? It means that you only entertain one table of guests per night, and you need to queue up and make a reservation at least 2 months in advance.
Chen Hansheng didn't bother to explain, so he stood up and walked to the kitchen at the back. At this time, the tavern owner had not yet had the awareness to create a private chef, and the cooking area could be entered and exited at will.
"smokes?"
Chen Hansheng handed over a Red Jinling. The middle-aged boss was cooking. He looked up at Chen Hansheng and took the cigarette silently, but did not smoke it and put it on the shelf.
The boss is from Wuzhong, and Wuzhong cuisine emphasizes freshness, mildness, and beautiful textures, so when the sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root, red water chestnut chicken head rice, squirrel mandarin fish and dried shredded chicken soup are served, it is really full of color, flavor, and flavor.
Wang Zibo and Xiao Rongyu were already hungry and started to move immediately, while Chen Hansheng and the shop owner were smoking at the door.
The two of them hardly talked about anything. The shop owner didn't talk much, and he thought Chen Hansheng was just a college student, so he didn't have much conversation.
Chen Hansheng didn't take it seriously. He finished his cigarette silently and sat down at the dinner table. He was stunned for a moment. There were only three dishes on the plate. The squirrel and mandarin fish only had fish bones.
Wang Zibo almost swallowed his rice bowl. Xiao Rongyu looked a little better, but his mouth was round and bulging, and he looked at Chen Hansheng innocently.
She also felt that the action was a bit rude, but she really couldn't let go of the fish that melted in her mouth, so she simply lowered her head and followed Wang Zibo's example and pretended not to see it.
"As for that."
Chen Hansheng hurriedly made rice to fill his stomach. Soon the three dishes and one soup on the table were completely wiped out, and the porcelain bowl could be used as a mirror.
The food was delicious, but the price was not cheap either. It cost 156 yuan in total. Wang Zibo secretly smacked his lips, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Wang Zibo wanted to make a counteroffer, but was stopped by Chen Hansheng. This store has always paid the actual bills. From now on, this order will cost thousands of dollars, and some styles cannot be measured in money.
Neither Wang Zibo nor Xiao Rongyu has the idea of aa. This kind of social habit was relatively rare in 2002, and they are planning to make up for it next time they treat guests.
It didn't matter to Chen Hansheng whether he wanted to or not. He stored his luggage in this hotel and took Wang Zibo and Xiao Rongyu to visit Changshou Lake Park.
Changshou Lake is actually not big, but Wang Zibo felt tired after walking for a while.
"It's so close to the train station and bus station. Let's just have some fun before going home next time." Wang Zibo suggested.
"Don't be too pushy. This is your first time visiting Changshou Lake in your life, and it might also be your last." Chen Hansheng said with certainty.
Because he has experienced it for a long time. Chen Hansheng has been studying in Jianye for four years and working for more than ten years. He has been to almost all the scenic spots, except Changshou Lake, which he has not completely visited.
At first, he had the same idea as Wang Zibo, to have some fun before going home for the holidays. As a result, he always took the bus in a hurry. The most familiar place was limited to the Changshou Lake Plaza opposite the bus terminal. Even this private chef was owned by someone else.
Brought him here.
Xiao Rongyu thought it was good. Changshou Lake is a small inland lake, surrounded by dozens of high-rise buildings and two stations with huge traffic.
In such a place, there is a clear inlet, with willows fluttering on the edge of the embankment, and some bright lotus flowers popping up from time to time. This green and red scenery everywhere highlights the cultural atmosphere of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
However, this reverie was quickly shattered by reality. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Hansheng and others were preparing to report to the school. When they passed by Jianye Railway Station, several people entangled them.
“Handsome guy, do you need accommodation?”
"Beauty, are you resting?"
"There are interesting things here, handsome guy, would you like to take a look?"
······
They are not a gangster, and the security environment in Jianye is much better than that in eastern Guangdong. It's just a few old women in their 50s holding "accommodation" signs and asking every passerby one by one.
Chen Hansheng walked in the front, wearing sunglasses as if he were traveling. This kind of single young man was an important target, so the old woman decisively directed all her firepower at Chen Hansheng, and her words became more and more explicit.
"Handsome man, our girl is very beautiful."
“The service is also very good.”
Xiao Rongyu blushed and spat as he hurried past here. This was Wang Zibo's first time encountering such a thing. He didn't have the guts to go, but he was curious.
Wang Zibo's idea was that it would be best for Chen Hansheng to give it a try and then tell him the process.
If Chen Hansheng knew that Wang Zibo had such thoughts, he would definitely take off his pants and throw them into the chicken room.
Chen Hansheng just refused with a smile: "Sorry, we are in a hurry, please give up."
A few aunts couldn't stop it and had no choice but to give up. They even shouted unwillingly behind them: "Handsome guy, since you are traveling, you should be bold and have some fun."
Xiao Rongyu walked faster and faster, and finally stopped at the bus stop. It seemed that the first impression Jianye Railway Station gave her was not very good, of course because she had too little social experience.
Here we have to face another difference. Wang Zibo's Jianye University of Technology is at the Xianning campus, and he needs to take bus 97. Xiao Rongyu and Chen Hansheng's schools are both in Jiangling University Town, and bus 137 can reach them directly.
"Xiao Chen, I will go to Jiangling to find you from now on."
Wang Zibo waved his hand with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, be safe."
Chen Hansheng said easily, sooner or later Wang Zibo will become very familiar with this city.
After seeing off Wang Zibo, Chen Hansheng turned to Xiao Rongyu and said: "The annoying light bulb is finally gone, and what is left is our two-person world."
"Be serious and don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Rongyu was a little embarrassed. When she saw Chen Hansheng staring at her, although he couldn't see clearly under his sunglasses, it wasn't very good anyway. She added: "Don't think too much!"
"My mind is running wild, what can I do?" Chen Hansheng said with a smile.
"you·····"
Xiao Rongyu choked for a moment. There was really nothing she could do to deal with Chen Hansheng now. When 137 came over, she went up first without waiting for Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng slowly loaded all his luggage onto the bus and then realized that Xiao Rongyu had occupied a seat for him, but there were several sultry male college students standing around, and looking at their posture, they all seemed to want to sit next to Xiao Rongyu.
Xiao Rongyu stared at the door nervously. When he saw Chen Hansheng coming up, he quickly waved his little hands and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Chen, come over here."
Chen Hansheng thought that a group of virgins were too timid, so he casually walked over and sat down. This clear "territorial" behavior made these college boys who were eager to extinguish their fire and quickly dispersed.
"Xiao Chen, are all the boys in college so horny?"
Xiao Rongyu asked softly.
"How is it possible? I'm not that kind of person."
Chen Hansheng’s righteous rebuttal.
"Okay, I believe you, but can you please take your hands off my shoulders first."
Xiao Rongyu said with a sad face.
