Chapter 90 [Which is more square, the price of cabbage]

Constantine first went to a snack bar to buy Xu Zhenzhen's favorite pastry "Donkey Rolling". Then he drove the car to Guluo Street, stopped the car and took people into an alley.

In the evening, the alley was covered with black paint and full of folk fireworks. It was like returning to the Republic of China era. I walked in and saw a few people gathered at the door of a store and arrived at the place.

This is a very small hot pot restaurant, without even a serious sign, with the plaque saying "Copper Pot Shabu". The weather has started to get colder recently, and eating hot pot is a good choice.

There are only eight tables in some quaint small houses, and they chose the only four-person table that is empty. Ordering is very simple, and it is a set meal. There is only beef hot pot, with vegetables and seasonings.

They sat down and chatted for a while, and a large pot of four-person beef hot pot was served. They sat on the induction cooker and needed to cook for a while, and then they ate when the pot rolled on.

The food was very large, including beef, beef tripe, beef tendon, beef tendon, thousand-page tofu, potatoes, etc., as well as dipping pickles and a large bottle of drinks.

After taking a few bites, Constantine asked with a smile: "How is it? Does it taste good?"

"It's really great. The first time we have eaten this kind of hot pot, we will definitely come here often in the future." Liang Kun said as he picked up another piece of meat, dipped it in his mouth and put it in his mouth.

The beef tripe is chewy, the beef tendon is small and chewy, the beef braised with flavor, the stew is soft and rotten, the beef tendon is perfect, the collagen melts in the mouth... Liang Kun’s favorite is the homemade chili oil here, which is slightly spicy and a little sweet, and it is a perfect match for seasonings and this hot pot.

He didn't touch the vegetables much, and the taste was ordinary. The two girls liked them, and they would get greasy when they ate meat. They ate purple cabbage salad to clear their mouths.

The four of them were chatting while eating, and they all spoke Chinese. The topic revolved around Liang Kun. The two were very interested in his story and wanted to know how he went from a sports student to a top scorer in the college entrance examination.

The brother and sister told some interesting things, and under Xu Zhenzhen's inquiry, they also talked about Liang Kun's heroic act of going to the river to save people.

"It was dark and there was only moonlight. When we arrived by the river, she had already jumped down. If she hadn't regretted and called for help, she would have been unable to find anyone. Liang Kun listened to the voice and dragged her from the river to the shore. I will never forget that day. When he went into the water, I was really afraid that he would be dragged into the river. That kind of thing was said in the news."

Liang Kun added: "Actually, it's not that scary. I have a good water quality and I know that I can save people and go into the water. I also think that day is unforgettable, mainly because of the freezing."

Constantine listened very seriously, and asked Liang Kun to talk about his feelings from time to time, and praised Liang Kun for his noble character. When he was in France, most of the people he met were lazy, selfish, and liked to complain, and the gap was too big.

There is a rumor about the French: work in spring, vacation in summer, strike in autumn, and holiday in winter. In fact, France strikes all year round. They are "romantic and leisurely" and interpret strikes into a social style. Parades and strikes are common every now and then.

Constantine was slightly better because his father was a strict and self-disciplined chef, and he received this kind of education since he was a child.

If you lack the spirit of research in cooking and do not work hard, you will not be able to become a good chef. Constantine has been exaggerating since childhood, taking his father as an example, and working very hard in normal times. He dislikes lazy people and likes strong people.

Xu Zhenzhen also talked about her own affairs, but it would not be possible if she didn't say it. Constantine praised her from time to time. Xi Shi appeared in her lover's eyes. In Constantine's eyes, Xu Zhenzhen was perfect, with single eyelids and sexy, and she was more beautiful than a girl with big eyes.

Liang Kun felt that nothing was wrong. Constantine's vision was in line with the aesthetic views of many French people.

In the future, there is a model named Lu Yan in China. She has small eyes, high cheekbones, a collapsed nose and dark skin. Just looking at her appearance, she is definitely not a "beauty" in China. However, the French media gave her a very high evaluation: "Half is an angel, and half is a devil." She said that she can smile brightly and purely like an angel, or be cool and wild like a devil.

Later, she fell in love with a Frenchman at first sight and got married and had a mixed-race child.

As soon as Liang Kun met, he knew that Xu Zhenzhen's family background was unusual, not only because she was dressed well, but also because she didn't even have a green question mark on her head and she didn't need any help.

This is true. They met before they went to high school. Xu Zhenzhen and his family often went to Fulou for dinner, and they first met Constantine's father.

Xu Zhenzhen is a rich second generation and is currently studying in the Art Management Department of the Central Academy of Drama. This is a new major that the Central Academy of Drama has just established this year. She is one of the first students. Just looking at this point makes people feel very unusual.

The Department of Art Management focuses on cultural and artistic production and management as its main training direction. She can join the TV station after graduation. Elders can arrange jobs for her, and her father is a senior leader of Yanjing Satellite Video Channel.

Liang Shuang is very envious. The rich second generation will not have to worry about work in the future. However, she doesn't know what job she will do after graduation, and she has no idea. This makes her feel that she is a little useless, as if she can only see how Liang Kun arranges it in the future.

An hour later, Liang Kun and Constantine continued to eat, and the girls were full. They started to eat the bean paste paste they bought, "Donkey Rolling". The restaurant tasted very good, and Liang Kun also tasted one.

There are very few snacks sold in Quancheng, and they are not authentic. They are basically made of glutinous rice flour. Authentic donkey rolling should be made of yellow rice flour. Peeled millet is commonly known as yellow rice, and ground flour is commonly known as yellow rice flour. It is often used as pastries. It is stickier and nutritious and has a good taste than glutinous rice flour.

Liang Shuang likes this taste very much, which is not as good as gray water zongzi than hibiscus cake. He is going to take the time to study this kind of snack. As long as he learns to make it, the system will assist and it can be made very delicious.

Xu Zhenzhen and Liang Shuang chatted and introduced the history of this snack.

Legend has it that after Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty calmed down the rebellion of Da and Xiao Hezhuo, he snatched the wife of a leader of the Hui tribe into the palace as his concubine, namely Concubine Xiang.

After Xiang Fei was robbed, she was reluctant to eat and drink day and night. Qianlong was so anxious that he sent an order to the imperial kitchen, saying that if anyone could make the food that Xiang Fei liked, he would not only be promoted, but also give him a thousand taels of silver. The imperial chefs showed their skills and made delicacies, but Xiang Fei didn't even look at it.

Qianlong had no choice but to order the people from the White Hat Camp to make food for Xiang Fei's hometown to send it to the palace. Then Xiang Fei's husband sent it to the palace to his ancestral homemade snacks and rolled the donkey to the Central Plains. Xiang Fei saw this and knew that his husband was coming.

"So, this is what the guy with a face that is more square than Yao Ming? Not just a TV series, is there really Meng Dan?" Liang Kun had never heard of such a legend, and suspected that it was edited now.

Liang Shuang snorted: "Mondan is also good to watch TV series, but it's just a little square. What's more square than Yao Ming is not a face, it's Tetris."

Xu Zhenzhen laughed and introduced Yao Ming, who was playing basketball to Constantine who didn't understand. Constantine knew who Mengdan was. The ratings of this TV series were too high.

Constantine also smiled. "Which is more square?"

"It must be Yao Ming." Xu Zhenzhen made up for a moment and said with a smile.

If Yao Ming heard this conversation, he might hit the people on their table, and then hit the back after the fight, and use the dunk to slam the drum on their heads.

Liang Kun has a good appetite and is not happy with a hot pot. He ordered a soaked cake and ate it clean with meat and sauce.

Constantine asked: "When do you have time to show your cooking skills? Zhenzhen's family has two houses in Yanjing. We can go to her house to have a party and cook our own meals."

"Okay, then tomorrow. Just say whatever you like to eat, I'll buy the ingredients."

"Anything is OK, do what you are best at."

The next party will be so happy. Liang Kun likes this carefree college life very much.

After the four of them met the next day, Constantine drove to the vegetable market near Xu Zhenzhen's house to buy things. Liang Kun skillfully selected ingredients, black-clawed local chicken, thatched fish, clams, and peppers, and showed some bargaining skills.

The community where Xu Zhenzhen's family is located is called Huaxin Music. It is very close to the University of Science and Technology and the Huaguo Conservatory of Music. It is also on the same road as Yan University. It is not far from the viaduct to the Central Academy of Drama, and the transportation is convenient. The building has a total of 23 floors, and her house is on the fifth floor, with three bedrooms and two living rooms and 117 square meters.

Liang Kun sighed at a glance that this is a good location. The master bedroom of the house has a bright bay window around the future Olympic venue, the house has a square shape, and a subway near the door. The house has been renovated, but the Xu family rarely lives here for investment. Xu's father has a wide connection and accurate investment vision.

The real estate market in China in 2001 was relatively stable throughout the year, with no ups and downs.

It should be noted that there was a landmark event this year. China's Olympic bid was successful in July! The newspapers also began to frequently advertise properties near the Olympic Park, which is near the North Fourth Ring Road outside the North Fifth Ring Road. There are large open spaces, and the properties sold are about 3,000 yuan per square meter. Because the Olympic bid was successful, some properties raised the price by 200-300 yuan per square meter.

Are these properties sold well? The answer is that almost no one cares about it, and they all think it is too expensive. If you have money to buy them in the past two years, those who miss these houses will definitely regret it. If Liang Kun has money, he will come to buy a few units immediately, but unfortunately he doesn’t even have the down payment for one house.

After chatting for a while, Liang Kun and Constantine entered the kitchen to work, and the girl watched TV and waited for food.

Liang Kun’s main dish is Yixian spicy chicken, which was not judged as a Chinese snack by the system, but everyone who has eaten it said it is good. In addition, there are two snacks of fried thatched fish and spicy stir-fried clams.

Constantine made oyster and mushroom soup. After seeing Liang Kun’s cooking speed, he admitted defeat. The difference in cooking skills was too big.

After the meal, everyone said it was delicious. Xu Zhenzhen envied: "It's so good, you're so happy, are you? Do you have such a brother who lives like this? What kind of life does he usually live in restaurants every day?"

"Absolutely, he made rice dumplings, fried ginger, and so on, and the like are delicious."

Xu Zhenzhen sighed: "My God, being single is a waste. Do you want me to introduce the beauty of the Central Academy of Drama to you? There are many beauties in our school and you may become big stars in the future."

"Thank you, I will definitely go to the Central Academy of Drama to visit when I have time." Liang Kun said with a smile.
