Chapter 79 Mantou and Braised Fish
Liu Qinqin got poked several times because of this, and Shi Jingqi felt distressed for several days.

At this time, the scarf was neatly folded and placed on Liu Qinqin's bed. Shi Chunhua sat on another bed, covered with a quilt, flipping through a book very seriously.

Liu Qinqin opened the door and entered the room, but Shi Chunhua didn't respond.

Until Liu Qinqin took the book away from her hand and said, "Aren't you stupid to read again?"

She raised her head and asked in a daze, "Sister Qinqin, when did you come back?".

"My great writer, don't read it, let's go, your brother said to take us to Mincheng Restaurant for dinner."

"Really?" Shi Chunhua jumped up and asked excitedly, she hadn't been to Mincheng Restaurant for dinner yet.

Seeing that she was only wearing a pair of long johns, Liu Qinqin took the cotton coat and trousers she had placed at the foot of the bed, and said, "Put it on quickly, it's cold outside, we'll wait for you on the first floor, don't forget your hat and gloves."

Shi Chunhua, who had left the book, turned into that lively and cheerful little girl again. She put on her clothes, grabbed her hat and gloves, and jumped downstairs.

Three people and two bicycles went to Mincheng Hotel. Liu Qinqin wanted to carry Shi Chunhua, but Shi Chunhua refused, insisting that Shi Jingqi should carry Liu Qinqin, and she rode one by herself. She rode fast, but she was not familiar with Mincheng He wanted to follow Shi Jingqi and Liu Qinqin along the road of the City Hotel, so he rode a bicycle around them.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are more people who are willing to go to the restaurant. The Mincheng Restaurant is almost full, and the time for the three of them to go is a bit late. The table didn't have time to collect the empty plates on it.

The three of them were not the kind of poor and fastidious people, so they found a table in the corner and sat down.

Shi Jingqi asked for the menu and asked Liu Qinqin and Shi Chunhua to order.

While waiting for the food to be served, Shi Jingqi asked about Shi Chunhua's current situation with great interest.

Because she was busy with Liu Guodong and Lu Hongmei's wedding, since Shi Chunhua returned to Mincheng yesterday afternoon, Shi Jingqi hadn't had time to have a good conversation with Shi Chunhua.

"Your Sister Qinqin and Sister Xiaoli both said that you wrote novels and earned royalties. What novel did you write and where did you publish it? How about the manuscript fees you earned? Is it enough?" Shi Jingqi asked.

"Just write love novels. Brother Wenjun said that mine is called the study of youth pain, and I published it in Wenjun's magazine. The serialization, manuscript fees, Wenjun and the others are not bad. If I buy less books, it will be enough for me. It is." Shi Chunhua said.

"What kind of school is Youth Painology? Mo Wenjun and his magazine have started publishing? Why haven't I heard them talk about it?" Shi Jingqi asked Liu Qinqin.

"It seems to be called "Heart Fire". It's all about the ambiguous feelings of boys and girls. I heard that it sells well in several universities. The girls in the Zhengzhou sales department also like to read it, but it's not suitable for your skills. Men read." Liu Qinqin said.

"How many issues are out? As a friend, I have to buy a few copies to support it." Shi Jingqi said.

"It seems to be two phases, right? We can't buy it here in Mincheng, and we sell it near several universities in Zhengzhou, and it hasn't covered the surrounding areas yet." Liu Qinqin said: "It's okay, I asked Xiaoli to help buy a few Ben, she forgot to bring it back for us when she came back this time."

Shi Jingqi asked Shi Chunhua: "There is your work on it, but you didn't bring it?"

The dishes were already served, and Shi Chunhua struggled with the thorns on the braised fish without raising her head, and said, "I wrote this to make a living, who reads it when I read books."

After finishing speaking, he swallowed the fish in one gulp, and saw Shi Jingqi staring at her, as if he didn't understand her words.

After thinking about it, he explained: "For example, I like to eat braised fish, but I can steam a pot of good steamed buns at my current level. Some people eat braised fish, and some eat steamed buns. I steam steamed buns and sell them to those who eat steamed buns." , sell the money, then buy braised fish, when I am hungry, I can just eat braised fish."

Shi Jingqi who was talking was stunned for a while, and asked: "Then you don't eat white steamed buns, maybe we will, and you won't bring us some?"

What Shi Jingqi meant was that she wanted her to show it to other people, maybe she could take it back to Shijiawan, after all, she was the one who published the work, so it was worth showing off for the little girl, and it might be offset by it She made the mistake of leaving without permission.

"Why? I know you don't like white steamed buns. I like braised fish just like me. Why did I bring you white steamed buns? Is it because I made the white steamed buns? You don't like to eat them for the sake of face." If you want to eat it, you will say it’s delicious if you don’t like it. It’s so boring, I’ll buy you braised fish with the money from selling steamed buns, it’s so good, you must be happy and like to eat it.” Shi Chunhua said puzzled.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Besides, there is no need to take them back to the village. Some people like to eat steamed buns, some like to eat braised fish, and others don't like to eat anything. You can give them white steamed buns. Or give him braised fish, he thinks it is better to give him money."

Shi Jingqi's expression was both surprised and pleasantly surprised, and she said to Shi Chunhua: "Okay, okay, I understand, I don't want your white steamed buns, and I have money to buy braised fish by myself, you can eat quickly, but go back to the village for evaluation I don’t agree, there are people in the village who like to eat braised fish, aren’t you one of them?”

Shi Chunhua was very willing to listen to Shi Jingqi's persuasion, and nodded to show that she understood.

I buried my head in the fight with the braised fish again.

Shi Jingqi also picked up the braised fish with chopsticks, carefully picked out the thorn, put it in Liu Qinqin's bowl, and picked up another chopstick.

While picking on the thorns, he said to Liu Qinqin: "Is this still my mountain baby sister? Why haven't I seen you for a few months and have changed so much?"

Liu Qinqin ate the fish and said: "Of course it is, but Mo Wenjun said that Chunhua is very talented, delicate in emotion, sensitive in people, and has the simplicity of a literati. The novels she writes are full of emotions." Pure, with a fresh style of writing, she is very popular among young people in the city, if you talk about her, if you write well, you may have great prospects in the future."

Shi Jingqi continued to put the selected thorny fish into Liu Qinqin's bowl: "Really? It's all thanks to you. You got her to Zhengzhou. If you really went to the cafeteria to help out as I arranged, it wouldn't be delaying her." Is it? I also have to thank Lao Mo and Lao Qi, after the Chinese New Year, I will go to Zhengzhou and treat them to a meal."

Liu Qinqin nodded: "Okay, I'll be with you when the time comes."

The three people here are talking and eating, as the characters in the conversation of the three, Mo Wenjun and Qi Kun are also talking and eating.

In the early days of their business, the two had a bit of confrontation with each other when it came to eating. It was not as good as the food of the three of them. In a small shop by the roadside, each of them got a bowl of braised noodles.

After returning from Mincheng, the two of them returned the salute they borrowed, gave the camera to the magazine office, and went out to eat.
