I had lunch at a tavern by Changshou Lake, with an area of only about 20 square meters. There were two sets of slightly peeled mahogany tables and chairs in the hall, decorated in a simple and natural style.
There is a benefit here, as soon as you look up, you can see the Changshou Lake shimmering with water. The tide gently beats against the shore, making it very leisurely.
Originally, Xiao Rongyu was wondering why Chen Hansheng was taking him so far away, but now he feels peaceful and comfortable here, but he doesn't know how the food tastes.
"Xiao Chen, how do you know there's a restaurant here?"
Wang Zibo also thinks that the environment is quite good, but the boss is not enthusiastic at all. When he sees customers, he doesn't know how to take the menu, but just takes a look and starts cooking directly.
"What a strange shop," Wang Zibo muttered again.
Xiao Rongyu and Wang Zibo had never seen this style before, but Chen Hansheng knew that in more than a decade, this place would become a famous private kitchen and restaurant by the Changshou Lake.
What is "private kitchen"? It means entertaining only one table of guests at night and waiting in line for an appointment at least 2 months in advance.
Chen Hansheng was too lazy to explain, so he stood up and walked to the back kitchen. At this time, the owner of the tavern had not yet realized the importance of creating a private kitchen, and the cooking area could be freely accessed.
"Smoking?"
Chen Hansheng handed over a red Jinling, and the middle-aged boss was cooking. He looked up at Chen Hansheng and silently took the cigarette, but did not smoke it and put it on the shelf.
The boss is from Wuzhong, and Wuzhong cuisine emphasizes freshness and peace, with beautiful appearance and texture. Therefore, when osmanthus candy lotus root, red diamond chicken head rice, squirrel osmanthus fish, and chicken sauce and dried silk soup are served, they are truly full of color, aroma, and flavor.
Wang Zibo and Xiao Rongyu were already hungry and started immediately, while Chen Hansheng and the shop owner were smoking at the door.
The two of them hardly talked much. The shop owner was already quiet, and he thought Chen Hansheng was just a college student, so there wasn't much conversation.
Chen Hansheng didn't take it seriously either. He silently finished smoking and sat down at the dinner table, but was stunned for a moment. There were only a few dishes on three plates, and only fish bones were left for squirrel and mandarin fish.
Wang Zibo almost swallowed his rice bowl. Xiao Rongyu ate slightly better, but his small mouth was also round and bulging, and his eyes were innocent enough to meet Chen Hansheng.
She also felt that her movements were a bit rough, but she couldn't let go of the melting fish in her mouth. She simply lowered her head and pretended not to see it, imitating Wang Zibo.
"As for what?"
Chen Hansheng quickly filled his stomach with rice, and soon the three dishes and one soup on the table were completely eliminated, and even the porcelain bowls could be seen in the mirror.
The food was delicious and the price was not cheap, totaling 156 yuan. Wang Zibo chuckled inwardly, not expecting it to be so expensive.
Wang Zibo wanted to negotiate, but was stopped by Chen Hansheng. This shop has always been a real account, and in the future, this dish will cost thousands of yuan, and some styles cannot be measured by money.
Wang Zibo and Xiao Rongyu have no idea of AA. In 2002, this social habit was relatively rare, and they are both planning to make it up for it at their next treat.
For Chen Hansheng, it's okay not to make up for it. He left his luggage in this restaurant and took Wang Zibo and Xiao Rongyu to stroll around 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 here, let's just play before we go home next time," suggested Wang Zibo.
"Don't force yourself too much, this is your first time visiting Changshou Lake in life, and maybe it's also your last time," Chen Hansheng affirmed.
Because he had already experienced it, Chen Hansheng studied in Jianye for four years and worked for more than ten years. He had almost visited all the scenic spots, but Changshou Lake had not been fully explored.
At first, he had a similar idea to Wang Zibo, to play before returning home from vacation. However, he always hurriedly hitchhiked, and his most familiar place was only the Changshou Lake Square across from the bus station. Even this private kitchen was brought to him by someone else.
Xiao Rongyu, however, thought it was good. Changshou Lake is an inland small lake surrounded by dozens of high-rise buildings and two large traffic stations.
In such a place, there is a clear water bay, with willows fluttering along the embankment and occasionally bright lotus flowers emerging. This green and red scenery everywhere highlights the human atmosphere of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
However, this kind of imagination was quickly shattered by reality. Around 3 pm, Chen Hansheng and his team were preparing to go to school to report, but when they passed by Jianye Railway Station, several people entangled with each other.
"Handsome guy, do you need accommodation?"
"Does the beauty rest?"
"There's something fun here, handsome guy, would you like to take a look?"
They are not a triad, and the security environment in Jianye is much better than that in eastern Guangdong. It's just that a few elderly women in their 50s are holding "accommodation" signs and asking each passerby one by one.
Chen Hansheng walked at the front, wearing sunglasses like a tourist. This single young man was an important target, so the old woman decisively aimed all her firepower at Chen Hansheng, and her words became more and more explicit.
"Handsome guy, our girl is very beautiful."
"The service is also very good."
Someone even mentioned the price directly: "80 yuan per service, guaranteed not to rush the clock. It depends on your handsome appearance. Can you do it for 60 yuan?"
Xiao Rongyu blushed and spat quickly as he passed by. It was the first time Wang Zibo had encountered such a thing. He didn't have the courage to go, but he was also curious.
Wang Zibo's idea is that it's 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 strip off his pants and throw them directly into the chicken house.
Chen Hansheng just smiled and refused, "Sorry, we're in a hurry, please make way."
A few aunties couldn't stop them and had to give up. They were still reluctant and shouted loudly from behind, "Handsome guy, since you're out on a trip, you should have a bold time."
Xiao Rongyu walked faster and faster, finally stopping at the bus stop. It seems that the first impression of Jianye Railway Station was not very good for her, but it is also because she has too little social experience.
Here, we have to face a separation. Wang Zibo's Jianye University of Technology is located at the Xianning Campus, and he needs to take bus No. 97. Xiao Rongyu and Chen Hansheng's schools are both in Jiangling University City, and bus No. 137 is a direct route.
"Xiao Chen, I will go to Jiangling to find you in the future."
Wang Zibo waved his hand with reluctance in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, pay attention to safety."
Chen Hansheng casually said that sooner or later, Wang Zibo will no longer be familiar with this city.
After seeing off Wang Zibo, Chen Hansheng turned to Xiao Rongyu and said, "The annoying light bulb has finally left, and the rest is our world of two."
"Be serious, don't speak recklessly."
Xiao Rongyu felt a bit embarrassed when she saw Chen Hansheng staring at her. Although she couldn't see his gaze clearly under sunglasses, it wouldn't be too good. She added, "Don't daydream either!"
"My mind is wandering, what can I do?" Chen Hansheng said with a smile.
You
Xiao Rongyu choked for a moment. There was really no other way to take Chen Hansheng now. When Route 137 came over, she didn't wait for Chen Hansheng to go up directly.
Chen Hansheng slowly loaded all his luggage onto the bus, only to realize that Xiao Rongyu had also taken a seat for him. However, several gloomy male college students stood around, and it seemed that they all wanted to sit next to Xiao Rongyu.
Xiao Rongyu stared nervously at the door. When he saw Chen Hansheng coming up, he quickly waved his small hand and shouted excitedly, "Xiao Chen, come over here."
Chen Hansheng thought to himself that a group of virgins were too timid, so he walked over and sat down. This clear "territory" behavior extinguished the flames of these restless college boys and quickly dispersed.
"Xiao Chen, are all the boys in college so thirsty?"
Xiao Rongyu asked in a low voice.
"How could it be? I'm not that kind of person."
The rebuttal of Chen Han's righteous words.
"Okay, I believe you, but could you please take your hand off my shoulder first?"
Xiao Rongyu said with a worried expression.
