Xia Shuo swagger

Chapter 22 Xia Zhaoyao's Ideal Type

Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.

This is an ancient prose that Xia Zhaoyao learned in high school, but the scope of application is obviously not limited to Juzhi.

For example, hot pot in Yancheng is boiled mutton in a copper pot, while in Huaijiang it is...

Uh...it's called hot pot here.

If I had to describe it, it would be the old butter hot pot that looks terrible, like hell lava.

Butter hot pot, which is based on spicy and delicious flavor, occupies at least half of Huaijiang, and you can see it almost anywhere in the city.

There are no obvious road signs, and the aroma of spicy butter hot pot lingering in the air is the best guide.

"arrive--"

Zhao Huanxi stopped and introduced in a tone like Santa Claus unwrapping presents.

"Dangdangdang——welcome to the famous Xi Street and Old Alley of Huaijiang University."

Xia Zhaoyao turned her head and looked around, she felt as if she was in a hidden corner that ordinary people couldn't touch.

This is an alley sandwiched between Huaijiang University and Xi Street, with some old residential buildings on both sides, and a row of hot pot restaurants that look old in front of it.

There are several simply decorated restaurants, chess and mahjong shops on both sides of the street, and a few dark Internet cafes further away, as well as a flower shop that is somewhat out of place with the surroundings.

Now it is the peak time of dining in the afternoon, and the originally narrow alleys are full of students, teachers, and occasionally tourists with cameras.

And the goal of their trip is to...

"That's Zhu Guangyu's old hotpot, which is almost the most famous old restaurant in Xi Street."

Zhao Huanxi pointed to the golden-red shop sign not far away.

Dozens of plastic stools are placed at the entrance of the store, and the people waiting for a seat almost occupy all the empty seats, which looks very spectacular.

Several customers waiting to be seated were arguing with the waiter at the door of the store.

"There are still a few tables in front of us, hurry up—it's too slow, small tables are fine—"

"That table is too tight to leave after eating?! You should hurry up anyway—"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry..."

Xia Zhaoyao vaguely heard the conversation between them, which was quite intense.

Fortunately, these crowds and bustle have nothing to do with them today.

Seeing Zhao Huanxi walking forward without stopping, Xia Zhaoyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

fine……

She is most afraid of waiting for a seat, because it is easy to get hungry.

——Their destination is a somewhat deserted Chuan Chuan Xiang at the end of the old alley.

…………

"Zhao Er... Chuan Chuan Xiang?"

Xia Zhaoyao raised his head and glanced at the signboard on the door that was almost covered with black stains.

Unlike other small shops facing the street, there is a long corridor in front that looks a bit gloomy.

A faint sound and fragrance wafted out of it, alleviating the horror a bit.

"Oh, here is connected to the shops on Xi Street Main Street, but the stairs are closed—"

Zhao Huanxi pointed to the right side and explained that Xia Zhaoyao saw an iron gate above the stairs hidden in the shadows.

"Some shops on Xi Street were converted from residential buildings. This is the building. When I go back, I will show you the front..."

"This place is a bit out of the way, so there's no need to wait for a seat——Sister Zhao, four seats!"

Zhao Huanxi walked in while talking, and shouted familiarly.

"To-"

There was a cheerful response from the front.

"The budget is limited, Zhu Guangyu is a bit expensive——"

Zhao Huanxi shrugged and explained to the three of them generously.

"And it's been too long to wait, when we make a lot of money, we'll try there again."

Listening to Zhao Huanxi calling other people "Sister Zhao" is a strange feeling.

However, Xia Zhaoyao's attention is now completely attracted by the three words "Chuan Chuan Xiang".

Chuan Chuan Xiang, um, is actually a kind of hot pot.

Most of the dishes are strung on bamboo sticks, and a lot of them are put into the boiling butter hot pot to cook.

The portion of each bamboo stick is small, and the advantage is that it is exquisite and controllable. After eating, the boss will calculate the money according to the number of bamboo sticks.

As Zhao Huanxi introduced, this is a small restaurant transformed from an old residence.

Walking through the narrow road, the front suddenly opens up, which looks like a small living room.

Four short round tables are placed in the four corners, and the stools are plastic low stools from kindergartens.

They seemed to have come quite early, there was only one table of guests, and there were not many bamboo sticks in the center of the table, but there were a lot of beer bottles piled up under the table.

Uh... It's just around five o'clock, so you're going to get drunk in broad daylight and then go back to sleep?

Xia Zhaoyao shook his head, looking away from those uncles who were blushing from drinking.

Not far away, a short and fat aunt in a floral apron was waving to them.

"Hey...Xiao Zhao. Has something good happened to you?"

"Well, our Wanshiwu team building is celebrating today!"

Zhao Huanxi waved his hand boldly, with the air of a big sister booking the show.

"Sister Zhao, as usual—four—uh, three bottles of cold beer, a plate of edamame, and a big bowl of fried rice with eggs!"

"Huh? Why are there three bottles? Is there anyone who can't drink..."

Qin Shuo asked in a low voice, looking at Xia Zhaoyao curiously.

Tang Qingying went to pick up the food immediately, and now there were only two people left at the table, he and Xia Zhaoyao.

"One bottle for you, one bottle for me, and then the two senior sisters share one bottle—"

Xia Zhaoyao recalled the scene of eating big plate chicken before, and said with some uncertainty.

"……Probably?"

"What are you two whispering there?"

Tang Qingying came over with an iron plate, and all kinds of skewers on the plate were piled up into a small mountain.

She sat down, grabbed the skewers and put them into the pot, picked up the enamel cup on the table and put it at the intersection of the top bamboo stick.

"This is a unique skill for eating skewers, you guys learn some in the future... I'm sure you'll be able to overwhelm the audience."

"[-] cents for meat dishes and [-] cents for vegetarian dishes. This is very cheap in Huaijiang now. Don't be cautious."

Senior Tangtang spoke while pointing to the wall on one side of the small hall.

"There are a lot in the freezer over there, hurry up and get them!"

"Oh, by the way, any of you can make a disc for me."

"... DJing?" Xia Zhaoyao blinked blankly.

Looking around, there is no such condition... Is there any mystery?
"You Die, Sister Tangtang, what do you want?" Qin Shuo obviously understood, and explained casually.

"Sesame oil, garlic, green onion or coriander."

"no problem--"

"Uh……"

Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the tumbling red pot of butter, and asked weakly.

"Is there any sesame paste here... or the kind that can relieve the spicy?"

"Oh, by the way, you can't eat spicy food—"

Qin Shuo suddenly realized and nodded, and glanced at Xia Zhaoyao with some pity.

"Why don't you add more vinegar then... Chuan Chuan Xiang doesn't have sesame sauce and mandarin ducks."

"...Are you good at spicy food?"

Xia Zhaoyao felt as if he had been targeted.

Oh no, is this considered face riding? !This guy Qin Shuo...

Xia Zhaoyao raised his eyebrows, slowly took out his phone, and fiddled with it a few times.

"Hmm... Where is the fusion of the holy relic... This character lock is really in the way, why don't you try the dismissal function..."

"Senior Xia! Sister Xia Zhaoyao! Let's talk about what's going on, and don't affect innocent girls."

Qin Shuo's face suddenly changed.

It was over, he had just handed over his wives.

"There is yogurt in the convenience store at the door, um, let's treat the only boy." Tangtang said suddenly.

"No problem - I'll go buy it right away." Qin Shuo grabbed the straw without hesitation.

…………

"Amazing, little swagger."

Seeing Qin Shuo leaving in a hurry, Tangtang nudged Xia Zhaoyao with her elbow.

Her squinted eyes bent like a sneaky fox, looking up and down Xia Zhaoyao with great interest.

"I can't tell, you have a lot of skills. The two of you..."

"What, what—is there a situation?"

At this moment, Zhao Huanxi walked over with a few bottles of beer.

She glanced at Xia Zhaoyao, and then at Qin Shuo who just ran out.

Ok?
As the senior emotional expert of Huantang Wanshiwu...

"Tsk tsk, oh—" Zhao Huanxi leaned over with a gossipy face, and let out a meaningful booing sound.

"Don't think about it... Qin Shuo's perverted dead house and I can't get together at all."

Xia Zhaoyao rolled his eyes speechlessly, and pushed away the two people who approached with both hands.

"It's not that you haven't read the questionnaire he filled out. It's disgusting to highlight a dead house—"

"Long legs, big breasts, sister Yu, gentleness... This guy's ideal type is almost complete." Xia Zhaoyao's antonym.

"Well, then you just..."

Tang Qingying pouted her mouth not far away, keenly grasping the loopholes.

"I temporarily help him replace his liver with games. He has something to do recently, and his cell phone seems to be checked by his family."

Xia Zhaoyao turned on the phone and pointed to the games that were just downloaded on the last page.

"No—all his wives are in my hands now."

"Oh, that's no wonder—" Tang Qingying suddenly realized and nodded.

As a serious game fan, she can understand that this threat is indeed a bit fatal.

"Hey, the questionnaire doesn't necessarily have to be—"

Zhao Huanxi waved his hand and said in an old-fashioned way.

"Questionnaire, there must be moisture, maybe he wants to attract your attention."

"Something like the 'women you managed to get my attention' reverse?"

Xia Zhaoyao hummed angrily, his eyeballs almost rolled out.

"Forget it, Qin Shuo is far from my ideal type—"

"Besides, if I want to find a boyfriend, I have to find someone who is sunny, cheerful, and respectable wherever he goes."

Xia Zhaoyao looked at Qin Shuo's empty seat with disgust, and said firmly.

"All in all, it's definitely not the kind of person who would treat a paper figurine as his wife. Just thinking about that scene makes one's whole body shudder."

"Then what does your ideal type look like?"

"That's right, I haven't asked about this yet—tell me quickly, my sisters will help you with your staff."

The first and second masters of Huantang Wanshiwu suddenly regained their spirits and circled around Xia Zhaoyao from left to right.

As the most famous love counseling team of Huaijiang University, this is their field of expertise.

"Uh... rich? Hmm, a handsome, sunny guy who is reliable at critical moments?"

"anything else?"

"If you have a good heart, at least your hobbies should be the same as mine."

"This scope is too general, to be specific—"

Zhao Huanxi glanced in the direction of the door, obviously worried about someone coming back, and hurriedly urged.

"Are there any personal customization requirements, such as proficiency in surfing the Internet, height and hairstyle..."

"This one is not... At most, it is, uh--it needs to be special."

"Special? Which special?" Zhao Huanxi seemed to think of something.

"Well, it's different from others, unique—" Xia Zhaoyao shrugged.

"Is that so-"

Tang Qingying stroked her chin and thought about it for a few seconds.

"Whether... is it really perverted? I think Qin Shuo has potential in this area."

"Of course not! Besides, it's not that you don't know the situation in my family. I don't have the heart to fall in love now."

Before the two could open their mouths, Xia Zhaoyao glanced unhappily at the two seniors who were in a state of gossip.

"I want to make money now. Money, I want to fall in love with money!"

"I want, too--"

"Then we're all rivals in love."

Ding-dong-

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyao's cell phone rang suddenly.

She looked down curiously.

[Qin said Wuyi]: Emergency in Jianghu!Lend me fifty and transfer it to you when you get home!
[Yao, Yao, Shake]:? ? ?

[Qin Yue Wuyi]: I don’t have a WeChat account linked to me. I just ordered two 648 orders, and I don’t have enough change.

[Yao, Yao, Shake]:? ? ?

[Qin Yue Wuyi]: Sister Xia, Brother Xia, help me——

"..."

Xia Zhaoyao was silent for a moment.

Red envelope, amount fifty, send.

Xia Zhaoyao put away her phone, glanced at her sisters, and added seriously.

"Oh, one more thing to add, scumbags who ask girls to borrow money - don't talk about it."
