I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 24 024.We are not

"You have to eat like this, you know? Hey, let's start with some soybean curd and chive flowers. These two are must-haves, then minced garlic and sesame oil, and finally... Hey, this chili oil is awesome. . . . Okay, here you go, just smooth it over."

Perhaps the social atmosphere of this place infected the girl and made her temporarily put aside her standard Mandarin.

A bit of the Yanjing accent emerged, with the wording and pronunciation changed.

So, what was placed in front of Xu Xin was a bowl of authentic Yanjing hot-pot seasoning.

Not to mention the sesame cakes.

The kid himself was not thin either. When he was fifteen and sixty-six years old, Yang Mi helped Xu Xin adjust the ingredients, and he had already finished it for himself.

Just waiting for the real owner to start cooking.

Xu Xin actually has a pretty average opinion of hotpot mutton.

First, the mutton here tastes terrible.

Don't tell him how good the sheep in Inner Mongolia are. In his opinion, the sheep on the Yellow River beach in his hometown are the most delicious.

As for mutton, you have to eat it in big mouthfuls. It’s cut so thin, how much do you eat?

So I didn't have any special expectations, and I couldn't understand why the people of Yanjing went to the shabu-shabu restaurant when winter came.

It can only be said that the soil and water support the people.

While stirring, the girl who saw herself adding the seasoning added:

"By the way, this thing must be paired with sugar and garlic... Boss, do you have any green radish? Please bring me a plate."

"Okay."

After cutting eight plates of brains, the middle-aged man, who had time to smoke a cigarette, nodded and walked into the kitchen again.

Xu Xin didn't mention drinking, and neither did the girl.

You can't drink sesame cakes.

What are you waiting for……

The first reaction of the two men, one young and one young, was to pick up chopsticks and follow the rules, pick up two or three pieces and rinse them.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

The girl quickly stopped him.

Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"What's wrong?"

"...What are you doing? You're pouring a whole plate into it. How long will it take to finish each chopstick after chopstick?"

"Put a plate in?"

Xu Xin was shocked:

"Isn't it said that if you put two or three pieces in at a time and eat two or three mouthfuls of meat, you have to add some vegetables to relieve the greasiness? Isn't this the rule for you to eat this?"

"Who did you hear that..."

The girl looked disgusted:

"How much are these two or three slices of meat? It's not enough for one mouthful. To relieve greasiness? To relieve greasiness?... Those were just stupid tricks that I came up with to fill my stomach when conditions were not good back then. My aunt specializes in research. In terms of history and folk customs, since the emergence of mutton-boiled meat in the Yuan Dynasty, there has been no such thing as greasy food. Just eat a whole plate and scoop it out, it’s delicious!”

Xu Xin believed this, because it was what he wanted the most.

Right, mutton has to be eaten in big mouthfuls to be satisfied.

But Shaobing said dubiously:

"But my master said..."

"Um?!"

Narrowing his fox-like eyes, Shaobing shivered subconsciously and nodded quickly:

"Yeah, brother Xu, come on, come on..."

"Hehe~"

The girl smiled with satisfaction:

"Actually, I should have ordered the lamb tail oil to moisten the pan, but I found it fishy."

While he was talking, a plate of meat was put into the pot.

Within a few seconds, the meat was already pink.

"Come on, come on, eat, eat, eat."

Who knows that the girl is an expert, so the two of them followed her rhythm and chatted with chopsticks.

Despite his young age, he is very particular about sesame cakes, and he even knows how to put sesame sauce on the plate to dip the meat in. Otherwise, if the mutton with soup is placed directly in the bowl, the sesame sauce will leak out.

But Xu Xin didn't know that he took the bowl directly.

Dip some in the sauce and take a bite.

Don't tell me yet...

His eyes lit up.

Ouch, I hate you so much~

Although the taste is not as good as the sheep at home, it is quite comfortable to eat.

Instantly, he was satisfied.

But the girl who had seen all his reactions showed a proud smile with a little satisfaction on her face.

If not for anything else, just to fight for the delicious food in my hometown.

…

Xu Xin originally wanted to chat while eating and ask about the situation of the pancake cross talk business.

After all, he was quite curious.

But he watched the child use chopsticks one after another as if he was having fun.

Although he didn't believe that the leader Guo, who looked like a person on the stage, would deduct money from his apprentice, but he was eating so well, so it wouldn't be good if he kept chatting with him.

So I chatted with Yang Mi while eating, all about some local delicacies in Yanjing.

With the girl's very professional description of the ingredients and how to eat them, he became very interested in these snacks.

Make an appointment to try it together next time... pig braised in water.

Soon, the bowl of condiments was empty.

It's so rare that it's unbelievable.

Xu Xin asked for another bowl of seasoning and mixed one by himself following the trick taught by the girl.

As soon as it came into my mouth, it tasted wrong.

He looked up and looked up at the girl who was munching on radishes like a rabbit, explaining to herself why Shawo radishes were the most delicious in Jinmen. He turned around and asked the boss to serve him another seasoning.

"Please help me adjust it."

"Well……"

The girl holding the carrot stick in her mouth was stunned, while the sesame seed cake next to her who also had about the same seasoning asked in confusion:

"What's up, Brother Xu?"

"I didn't make it delicious myself."

"Really? Let me try..."

If Xu Xin's condiment in the bowl was extremely thin simply because he didn't know how to eat, then the sesame paste was completely eaten up by Xu Xin's fighting power.

While Yang Mi was helping Xu Xin with the seasoning, he took Xu Xin's bowl, picked out the meat and tasted it...

"It's the same~"

"It's different, my bowl is a bit bitter."

"No……"

"Why did I lie to you..."

"Then I'll eat your bowl."

"Eat it."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the girl who originally wanted to eat soybean curd thought about it and cut it some.

Passed it to him again:

"Here, have a taste."

Xu Xin took a bite and tasted it, and said happily:

"tasty."

"...Haha~"

I don’t know if it’s because she was proud or something, but the girl looked more like a rabbit when eating carrots.

…

One meal consisted of ten plates of meat, one plate of cabbage, and three sesame seed cakes.

The child's face glowed red after eating the sesame biscuits.

"Are you full?"

"Well, you're full! Brother Xu, Sister Yang, next time you come, you can come directly to me, and I will take you there!"

"Haha, thanks."

Xu Xin responded and asked Yang Mi again:

"Then I'm going to pay?... It's too late to go back and I'm afraid the biscuits won't be available."

"Okay. Then we'll wait for you outside."

"Um."

A meal costs more than four hundred yuan.

After the settlement was completed, I received a compliment from the boss:

"Young man can fight well."

"Ha ha."

Smiling, Xu Xin put on his coat and walked out of the restaurant.

"We will take you to Tianyuan Garden, and then we will just walk from there."

"Okay...Brother Xu, how long have you been talking to Sister Yang?"

"What to talk about?"

Xu Xin, who was lighting a cigarette, was a little confused.

But Yang Mi pinched his cheek speechlessly:

"We are classmates. If you don't learn well at a young age, you can't fall in love prematurely!"

"ah?"

Fatty Dun, who only had time to think about these things after eating, was obviously a little shocked. Xu Xin, who lit a cigarette, also reacted and said with a smile:

"We are really classmates."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Shaobing was still a little shocked, and Yang Mi also glanced at Xu Xin, who was holding a cigarette in the evening breeze, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go. Hey, your master-disciple approach is quite traditional..."

The silhouettes of the three people slowly lengthened under the streetlight and walked into the next streetlight.

…

"Brother Xu, Sister Yang, I'm leaving then."

"Well, come on in."

"You two must call me next time you come!"

"Haha, for sure."

"Bye~"

After saying goodbye to the satiated biscuits, Xu Xin turned to look at the girl:

"I send you?"

"EMMMM..."

Looking at the bustling scene on the overpass, the girl thought for a moment and shook her head:

"No, I'll take a taxi and leave."

"so late?"

"It's not too late."

The girl in the night wind had a slightly red nose and said with a smile:

"Taking a taxi is quick. You can go back too. By the way, when the movie comes out, be sure to ask me to watch it with you."

"good."

Xu Xin nodded and saw that there happened to be an empty car, so he waved to stop it.

He opened the back door for her in a gentlemanly manner.

The girl who sat in waved her hand:

"Then I'm leaving."

"Well, we have something to talk about."

"Um."

The door closed and the taxi drove away.

Xu Xin turned around and glanced at Tianyuan Theater, which had brought him many surprises this afternoon, and seemed to faintly hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.

Satisfied, he walked towards the big fence.

After walking a few steps, I heard the phone vibrating in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it:

"Don't wash those clothes. Dry clean them, otherwise they will shrink."

Sent by Yang Mi.

Xu Xinxin said that you are quite attentive and replied:

"I know. Oh, right, Pringle hasn't invited you to eat yet."

"Next time, after this mutton meal is finished, I will probably have to take my dad for a night run when I get home."

"Still running? Now?"

"Yeah. My home is in a courtyard for police families. You don't know, but the old man here does exercises every day. There are also people running at night. This is how I won three consecutive championships in the 1,500 meters in junior high school."

"Awesome. If you put it like that, I have something to do tomorrow."

"What?"

"Find a gym near home."

"Are you working out? By the way, I still want to ask. You seem to have lost weight during the New Year."

"Absolutely. I eat beef at home every day and work out."

"Really? I saw you had a beer belly when we were filming last time."

"Really, it's gone now. But I work out for no other reason than to have a healthy body."

"That's quite a point. I dance too. By the way, where is your home? I know someone from a gym, but I don't know if it's far away from you."

"Historian Alley."

"..."

"?What's wrong?"

"That place... is so expensive. It used to be the place where big eunuchs and big landowners lived."

"My dad bought it just so that my brother and I could have a school district room when we have children."

"Oh, I know that gym is quite far away from you, so you can find it yourself."

"good."

"Then I won't talk to you anymore. I have to find a date with the ladies and gentlemen from our old nightclub~"

"Haha, come on!"

Xu Xin sent this message with a faint smile on his face.
