Chapter 139 Consumption
For the next two days, the whole village was watching the fun.
However, what was unexpected was that teacher Wang Haiyan had no intention of coming to apologize.
But on the afternoon of the third day, I learned from Long Xiaoyun that Wang Haiyan had voluntarily resigned.
This is just quitting.
Since she is no longer a teacher at the village primary school, this matter has nothing to do with her.
What a good way to escape.
Anyway, he would rather lose his job than come and apologize to Zhang Chi.
For this matter, Long Xiaoyun specially wrote a report and sent it to the county government.
The original intention is to relax and vent.
Unexpectedly, the county school did not take any action after receiving the report.
This made Long Xiaoyun feel puzzled.
Either that Director Wang has some connections, and someone is protecting him behind the scenes.
Or maybe in the eyes of the people in the county government, a few remarks made against Zhang Chi were not a big deal.
In other words, it's not worth their effort.
No matter which one it was, Long Xiaoyun felt a little guilty towards Zhang Chi because of this matter.
This night.
Zhang Chi was teaching Daguang how to put a car cover on the car in the store.
"Are you still busy?"
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and looked back, only to see Long Xiaoyun standing at the door with an insulated box in her hand.
Da Guang asked curiously, "Sister, why are you here?"
Long Xiaoyun frowned and asked, "Why, do you have any secrets that I don't know?"
Daguang opened his mouth. He was just asking out of confusion.
However, facing his cousin Long Xiaoyun, Daguang could only keep his mouth shut and dared not to get angry at all.
"Bring anything delicious. I'm just hungry."
Zhang Chi smiled, stood up, took off his work clothes, and walked to the door to wash his hands.
Long Xiaoyun's cheeks were slightly flushed.
Because the weather was quite hot, Zhang Chi was not wearing anything under his work clothes, which meant that he was talking to her with his bare chest.
"My mom cooked some chicken soup and added mushrooms. She cooked too much and it would be a waste to leave it alone, so I brought it for you to drink."
As he said this, he put the thermal box on the table and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi said unhappily, "Since you're here, why don't you sit for a while?"
"What's there to sit on..."
Although he said this, his body was very honest. He pulled a stool and sat directly at the door, watching the busy Daguang.
Daguang is becoming more and more capable now, and he is fully focused when working.
There was no interruption or attention drawn by the conversation between the two.
Zhang Chi scooped a bowl of chicken soup with lots of mushrooms, which are all delicious things that can only be found in the mountains.
"Hmm, it's delicious. Is it stewed by my aunt?"
Long Xiaoyun pursed her lips and forced all the credit onto her mother.
In fact, she made the chicken soup herself, following the recipe and taking her most of the day to cook it, during which time she wasted two free-range chickens and several kilograms of wild mushrooms.
Seeing that it was getting late, there was no choice but to quickly deliver the third serving of chicken soup to Zhang Chi.
She was afraid that it would be too late, so she went home after get off work.
Asking her to go to Zhang Chi's house to deliver chicken soup, she doesn't have the courage to do so.
Even though Fu Li treated her very well, they were not even in a relationship yet, so it felt weird for her to visit her alone.
"It tastes good, haha."
For some reason, Zhang Chi took a sip of the chicken soup and repeated it again.
Hearing this, Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile complacently and said, "Yeah, I think it should be good too. I was afraid that the mushrooms were not cooked thoroughly, so I roasted them over fire for a long time."
"No wonder it smells burnt..."
"what?"
"Oh, nothing. Didn't you say that the chicken soup was made by your aunt?"
Long Xiaoyun's face froze, and he quickly explained: "I, I helped a little, um, a little bit."
Zhang Chi smiled without saying a word, drank the chicken soup in the bowl, and even ate a few black mushrooms of unknown species.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyun inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
She hurriedly stood up, took the empty bowl from Zhang Chi's hand, and scooped him another big bowl, this time with chicken and a lot of mushrooms.
"You can't just drink the soup without eating the meat, because that way you won't be able to fully absorb the nutrients."
"Ah, oh."
Zhang Chi opened his mouth, took a deep breath, slowly took the bowl, and started eating voraciously.
"Sister, I want a bowl too. I'm a little hungry."
Daguang came out at some point and seeing Zhang Chi eating so happily, he couldn't help but want to try it too.
Long Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Chi, and said, "Are you still eating?"
Zhang Chi: “…”
He looked up at Daguang, then at Long Xiaoyun, and finally his eyes fell on the remaining soup in the thermos box.
"Well, I, I'm a little full."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Well, let me go see if the door of the store is locked."
Long Xiaoyun said "Oh" and poured the remaining chicken soup and meat into the bowl.
"Well, that's a bargain for you."
Daguang took it with a chuckle, picked up the bowl and took a big gulp of the soup.
Seeing him eating so 'deliciously', Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
Just about to speak.
Then I saw Daguang spit out all the soup in his mouth with a "puff" sound.
"What is this? It's too salty and smells like burnt plastic!"
"Ok?"
Long Xiaoyun frowned, stood up and said unhappily: "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me. I left a bowl for you out of kindness, but you are still picky."
Da Guang was speechless and said, "Sister, have you tasted it yourself? This bowl of soup is definitely not made by my aunt. Could it be that you cooked it yourself?"
"Of course I have..."
Long Xiaoyun looked at Da Guang, whose facial features were tangled together, with a suspicious look on his face, and asked unconfidently, "Is it really that unpalatable?"
Daguang almost vomited.
"You'll know if you try it yourself."
After saying that, he handed the bowl to Long Xiaoyun and ran towards the bathroom not far away.
Although Daguang looks big and strong, he is a good cook and is very particular about food.
After all, I grew up eating delicacies from land and sea, so I have basic food appreciation skills.
Looking at his back as he fled.
Long Xiaoyun picked up the bowl with a frown and took a small sip.
"Ugh, ugh~"
Long Xiaoyun quickly put down the bowl and spat the soup in his mouth directly into the trash can beside him.
"Why is it so salty and has a disgusting taste..."
Long Xiaoyun wiped the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, the scene of Zhang Chi sitting opposite her drinking soup with a calm expression flashed through her mind, especially when she served him a second bowl.
"Zhang Chi, are you crazy? It's so hard to drink, why didn't you say so?"
Long Xiaoyun ran angrily towards the convenience store nearby.
When I opened the glass door, I saw Zhang Chi sucking on a chicken bone.
On the table next to him was a bowl of chicken soup with only a few residues left.
"You, you ate it all?" Zhang Chi said with a smile: "What's wrong? This is your first time cooking by yourself. I can't not give you face, right?"
Long Xiaoyun: “…”
He pursed his lips.
The salty and somewhat bitter taste of the chicken soup still lingered on her lips and teeth, but Zhang Chi’s words were like a mouthful of sweetness that splashed all over her face.
"You, you can tell me."
"What's there to say? It's not like they're going to kill anyone."
As he spoke, he gnawed the cartilage on the chicken bones with relish, looking as if he was still not satisfied.
Long Xiaoyun's heart trembled slightly, and he felt moved by this shameless guy.
"Okay, we've finished eating, clean up, Daguang and I will take you back."
Long Xiaoyun pursed her lips and nodded obediently.
The two walked out of the store.
Zhang Chi closed the glass door and locked it.
The next day.
Fu Li, who came early to open the shop, smelled a strange odor as soon as she entered.
I walked to the cashier and took a look.
There was a basin filled with dark chicken soup, and next to it was a package of country-style spiced chicken legs.
"Oh my, this leftover chicken soup has turned sour and smelly."
"And this Zhang Jianguo, he must have stolen the children's snacks again. I've told you so many times that this has preservatives added..."
Fu Li sighed and took the stinky chicken soup to Long Jianchuan's food stall across the street.
Long Jianchuan has a dog to look after things at night.
Fu Li poured the black stuff into the dog bowl.
"Come and eat, come and eat."
Unexpectedly, the greedy big black dog just sniffed it and then retreated three steps to avoid it.
Even when he looked up at Fu Li, his eyes kept saying, "There are always villains who want to harm me!"
at the same time.
Zhang Chi dialed Daguang's number with a exhausted look on his face.
"Guangzi, brother, I am dying. You, please take me to the hospital immediately. I had diarrhea all night last night..."
·
Come out of the hospital.
The two found a restaurant to have lunch.
After Zhang Chi sat down, he felt a dull pain in his anus.
I didn’t expect that the food cooked by Long Xiaoyun himself would be so lethal. I only ate one bowl.
Luckily, he was smart enough not to force himself to eat the second night, otherwise he would have to go downstairs to see his grandparents.
"Brother, the doctor said you'd better not eat greasy and spicy food these two days. Eat more porridge and steamed buns to nourish your stomach."
Zhang Chi originally wanted to order a bowl of pork rib soup to nourish his body.
Hearing this, he had no choice but to order a bowl of porridge and a dish of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
The two brothers were eating.
A few people were walking on the street outside. The girl walking behind saw Zhang Chi in the window and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Chi was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet Chen Lele here.
Soon, Chen Lele was seen jogging in.
"Chizi, you guys come out to eat too."
Chen Lele's friends also followed in. When one of the men saw Chen Lele greeting Zhang Chi so enthusiastically, his brows instantly darkened and he looked at Zhang Chi as if he saw the murderer of his father.
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the other person, then replied calmly: "Yes, are you shopping?"
Chen Lele nodded, and then took the initiative to introduce her friends to Zhang Chi.
"Knowing that I was going back to my hometown, they came back with me. It happened to be my annual leave, so I wanted to take them out for some fun."
The man took a look at the dishes ordered by Zhang Chi and a hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In his opinion, this guy named Chizi was nothing special. Who would eat porridge and vegetables when he went out to eat?
I'm afraid that my family conditions are average, so this kind of person is nothing to be afraid of.
"This is Kou Ziming. He is my client and, of course, my good friend."
Zhang Chi nodded to the man named Kou Ziming, but this guy actually turned around and started chatting with his companions.
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and didn't bother to argue.
Chen Lele suddenly suggested, "Meeting is fate. We have to eat anyway, why don't we go together? I'll treat you."
"Let me do it. I can't let a beautiful lady like you treat me."
Kou Ziming seemed to care about Chen Lele very much. He was chatting with his companions in the last second, but he immediately spoke after hearing this.
Chen Lele glanced at him and secretly observed Zhang Chi's reaction with some embarrassment.
Seeing that Zhang Chi was still smiling, she felt inexplicably relieved.
"No need, since you are a guest, of course it's my treat."
Chen Lele smiled and asked everyone to take a seat without asking Zhang Chi's opinion, which made Zhang Chi and Daguang speechless.
But after all, they were former classmates, so Zhang Chi couldn't say anything.
Daguan just lowered his head and ate his rice, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Come on, everyone, see if there's anything you like to eat. If not, then I'll just order a few local specialties."
"Let me see."
Kou Ziming picked up the menu and glanced at it.
"Here, this, and this, waiter, is the most expensive dish in your restaurant only 288?"
The waitress was a girl in her early twenties. She had been working for more than two years, but this was the first time a customer asked her this question.
She chuckled and said, "We have another signature dish in our restaurant, but customers who don't make reservations usually can't have it."
"Oh, then give us one portion. It doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as it tastes good."
The waiter reminded me.
At this time, Zhang Chi suddenly smiled and said, "Go ask the boss. He came all the way from Guangdong Province and wants to try the local dishes. The big boss is not short of money, don't worry."
The waiter glanced at Zhang Chi and nodded thoughtfully.
Not long after.
The waiter came back from the kitchen and said with a smile, "It's just right, there are still some ingredients left. Are you sure you want to order?"
Kou Ziming glanced at Chen Lele with a smile, and saw that her big, Caroline-like eyes were attracted by Zhang Chi, and suddenly felt a little depressed.
"No need to waste words, just serve the food."
Kou Ziming responded loudly, trying to attract Chen Lele's attention.
Unfortunately, Chen Lele was racking his brains to figure out how to get in touch with Zhang Chi, so how could he possibly pay attention to him?
Not long after.
A fragrance came from the kitchen.
Several people from Guangdong Province are good at eating, and when asked about the taste, they couldn't help but praise it.
Chen Lele came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.
"Wow, which rich guy ordered this dish again?"
Zhang Chi laughed and pointed at Kou Ziming who was sitting next to Chen Lele, and said, "Your friend ordered this."
Chen Lele: “…”
Seeing her face froze.
Kou Ziming smiled and asked, "Why, is this dish very famous?"
Chen Lele hesitated for a long time.
"It is famous, and famous people are expensive."
"Hahaha, how expensive can a dish be."
At this time, Zhang Chi suppressed his laughter and kindly reminded: "It's not that expensive actually. It's just because the ingredients are hard to come by, they are all rare species in the mountains, so this dish is generally a little more expensive, just over 5."
"what?"
Kou Ziming exclaimed!
