I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 194 Tricks
After seeing the long list of alternative restaurant names sent by Sister Lin, Su Chengyi was a little suspicious of whether she went out today with all her family's savings.

It's either Japanese food or seafood. In short, these are restaurants whose brand is greater than the value of the food itself.

Service fees and decoration fees probably also account for the bulk.

Among them was the Japanese restaurant that Liang Nina took him to last time, and he ate the scholarship money that was still warm in his pocket in one meal.

A meal at a place like this would cost her less than half a month's salary. With her usual frugality, such high consumption was completely unnecessary.

Lin Zhiwan must have decided to follow his taste and bleed a lot out of Su Chengyi's job introduction to her and help to Lin Tong.

But she clearly had some misunderstanding about his dining tastes.

Of course, Su Chengyi couldn't really go to such a place to eat with her.

So the location he sent it to was:
supermarket door.

Today is the weekend, and it’s almost lunch time, so there’s a bit of a traffic jam on the way from Qinghe District.

When Su Chengyi got out of the car, he saw Lin Zhiwan, who had probably been waiting for a long time.

She stood quietly in the corner at the entrance of the supermarket where people were coming and going, always paying attention to whether she would block other people's way.

Occasionally, when someone looks at her, she will quickly lower her head, nervously, maybe thinking that she has done something wrong.

Lin Zhiwan must be a few years older than them, in her early twenties, Su Chengyi thought.

It doesn't look like him at all, his expression and demeanor may be more innocent than him.

He has obviously experienced a lot of hardships in life.

No, you can’t compare yourself.

After all, he has lived two lives.

Su Chengyi stepped forward.

Lin Zhiwan kept looking around, and the moment she saw him, a smile appeared on her face.

Su Chengyi took a look inside the supermarket. There were freezers inside, and the air conditioning was on full blast.

Today's weather was at least 35 degrees, and just a step away, Lin Zhiwan actually chose to stand outside and wait.

He gestured:

"Isn't it hot?"

Lin Zhiwan is still laughing:

"not hot."

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and glanced at her smooth forehead. It looked like she was not lying, not even a little sweat.

But he himself felt the heat coming straight up from his black trousers, and the heat was unbearable.

It is probably true that the mind is calm and naturally cool.

"Come on, go first."

Su Chengyi pushed open the supermarket door curtain.

Lin Zhiwan followed in small steps, with a bit of confusion on her face.

"Aren't we going to eat?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that her plan would fail, her sign language movements became a little nervous.

“Buy groceries and cook them at home.”

Su Chengyi strode forward without squinting his eyes.

But the corner of his clothes was quickly grabbed by someone.

Lin Zhiwan said in a panic:
"Go to the restaurant."

Su Chengyi had no choice but to stop and didn't know what to say.

Finally, I realized that even when signing, I felt like I was hesitant to speak.

After struggling for a while, the movements of her hands changed, and the expression on Lin Zhiwan's face also changed.

Maybe what Su Chengyi said in her eyes at this time was:
"jajbbflafha"

In the end, Su Chengyi just gestured dryly:

"Don't go."

"why?"

This answer made Lin Zhiwan even more panicked. Su Chengyi always felt that she was about to burst into tears.

"My mother said you are very good at cooking. I want to try it."

Lin Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, not expecting this reason.

"But I'm going to treat you to dinner today."

"I don't like eating out."

Su Chengyi put his hands on the shelves and said sincerely.

This is actually not true.

Because in his previous life, he lived alone, and besides eating in the company cafeteria, he ate takeout.

The most I can cook at home is noodles, porridge and the like.

Seeing Lin Zhiwan's somewhat troubled expression, Su Chengyi continued:
"I can't cook, and I live alone. It's been a long time since I've eaten food cooked by my family."

No matter Sanqi 21, sell it badly first.

Sure enough, it worked.

As soon as Lin Zhiwan heard what he said, complex emotions of sympathy and distress immediately appeared on her face.

Su Chengyi knew that it almost made sense, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot, turned around, pushed a pallet truck, and raised his chin to signal.

Lin Zhiwan walked beside him, thinking about what dish to make for him.

It was only after she came to work at Yangliu's house that she learned that the supermarket also had an area dedicated to selling vegetables.

In the past, after getting off work from the construction site, I would go to the vegetable market to buy some discounted vegetables.

When I was working at the Hou family, I was always responsible for cleaning, not buying or cooking.

Although the vegetables in the supermarket are more expensive, they look clean and tidy. They are all sealed in plastic boxes with plastic wrap, which is different from the messy and haphazard food in the vegetable market.

Su Chengyi is tall among his peers, and he is dressed like a serious business person. He has a calm temperament and does not look childish or underage.

However, Lin Zhiwan specially changed into a floral dress today and carried a clean old white canvas bag on her shoulders, which complemented her own soft atmosphere.

The two of them don't look like siblings, they look like college students who have made an appointment to spend the weekend together.

Su Chengyi raised his head and glanced at the street sign of the supermarket, then turned sideways and asked:
"Is there anything you want to cook?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Lin Zhiwan wrung her hands, her watery eyes looking nervous.

She is probably afraid that she will talk about something she doesn’t know how to cook.
Thinking like this, Su Chengyi tentatively mentioned one of the most common dishes:

"Chili fried pork?"

Lin Zhiwan nodded seriously, with a stern expression.

"Hmm, sweet and sour pork ribs?"

She nodded again.

His expression was still very serious, and he couldn't tell whether he would do it or not.

Su Chengyi thought for a while and said:

"What is sister's specialty?"

Lin Zhiwan shook her head,

"I don't have anything special, but there is one dish that Sister Yang said is delicious."

"What is it?"

"Squirrel fish."

It turned out to be this dish.

A very famous delicacy in Suzhou, Jiangnan.

Legend has it that when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he paid a private visit to the Songhe Tower in Suzhou for dinner.

The chef removes the carp bones, carves patterns on the fish meat, and adds egg yolk paste.Deep-fried in hot oil and topped with hot sweet and sour marinade.

The collision of hot oil and marinade makes a squirrel-like "squeaking" sound, hence the name "squirrel mandarin fish".

He had heard about its reputation for a long time, so after going to the Magic City to attend college, Su Chengyi chose a weekend and made a special trip to the Songhe Tower in the neighboring Gusu City.

The taste is crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside, sour and sweet.

Even though Su Chengyi had a stomach for chili peppers from Sichuan since childhood, he had to praise that this Subang dish is indeed delicious.

Although it is delicious, it is also difficult.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have lasted so many years, and only the Songhe Tower is the most famous.

Lin Zhiwan said she would do it, which made him look forward to it, and he immediately pulled her to the fresh food area.

After ordering the dishes, it was Lin Zhiwan's turn.

Su Chengyi was originally curious about how she could communicate with others when buying groceries because she couldn't speak.

It's almost time to show off.

There were at least dozens of fish swimming around in the fish cabinet. Lin Zhiwan only took a few glances before choosing the liveliest one.

When the boss caught it, it was still flopping around with all its strength, almost splashing water on its face.

Lin Zhiwan explained to Su Chengyi:
"This kind of fish will be more tender and firm, and it will be more delicious when fried. It is also of a moderate size, and it is too big to be eaten and wasted."

When choosing ribs, Lin Zhiwan also chose the leanest rib from a long way away.

"Would you like sweet and sour pork ribs? This will give you two sweet dishes. Do you want to switch to braised ones?"

"This kind of chili is too spicy. It will choke people when fried. Can it be spicy? Do you want to change it to this kind?"

When talking about cooking, Lin Zhiwan even talked more.

Su Chengyi felt that she was testing her sign language skills. Sometimes she didn't quite understand it, but she just nodded.It won’t taste bad anyway.

Yang Liu took many photos to show him Lin Zhiwan's craftsmanship.

Every dish looks bright and appetizing.

After buying the ingredients, Su Chengyi pushed the cart to the checkout area.

Lin Zhiwan immediately walked next to him and carefully took out the wallet.

Seeing the plaid wallet, Su Chengyi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Oh, from LV.

It was a bit inconsistent to take out such a luxury item from her white canvas bag.

But the style looks a bit old, and it was most likely given to her by Yangliu.

Su Chengyi had no intention of competing with Lin Zhiwan for payment rights.

Having already refused to go to a restaurant to eat, it would be a bit frustrating to rush to pay for it now.

Lin Zhiwan opened the zipper of her wallet. Just as Su Chengyi imagined, this guy put a large stack of banknotes in the bag.

It looks like he is ready to eat today's meal.

These ingredients were bought for less than 100 yuan, and Lin Zhiwan carefully put the change back into her wallet.

Su Chengyi walked out carrying something, and she trotted to follow, wanting to take it out of habit.

Su Chengyi glanced sideways and retracted his hand in a sullen voice.

The things were not heavy, after all, they were just two people eating together.

On weekdays, what Lin Zhiwan wants to buy is for four people to eat together, so it seems to be a lot heavier.

The two walked to a shady spot on the side of the road to wait for the bus.

After a moment of silence, Lin Zhiwan came forward again and handed over a peeled lollipop.

I think she asked for it when the cashier was giving change.

Su Chengyi was carrying something in his left hand and it was difficult to pick it up, so he lowered his head and bit it.

It's strawberry flavored.

Lin Zhiwan looked at him with a smile, as if she had already inquired about his taste in advance.

She probably didn't ask Yang Liu, because she definitely didn't know.

Most likely it was the wood that said it.

There was no trash can around, so Lin Zhiwan carefully put away the candy wrappers.

I even bought only one lollipop.

Su Chengyi held the candy in his mouth and glanced at her empty palm.

Lin Zhiwan probably lived like this since childhood.

As big as the opportunity to go to school, as small as a [-]-cent lollipop, everything can be given or given.

Raising her wrist and glancing at her watch, Su Chengyi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Give me the candy wrapper and I'll throw it away."

Lin Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, handed him the candy wrapper she had just received in the bag, and then took the plastic bag in his hand.

Su Chengyi turned around and ran across the road against the sun.

When he came back, he clenched one hand into a fist.

Lin Zhiwan kept staring at the scene.As soon as he left, a taxi passed by.

Su Chengyi handed his fist to her.

Lin Zhiwan glanced at him inexplicably, and Su Chengyi raised her chin, motioning for her to touch it.

Lin Zhiwan obviously didn't know what a fist bump was, so she stretched out her finger and poked it carefully.

She was actually a little scared.

Because of her hearing impairment and poverty, the children in the village would often make fun of her since she was a child.

He tripped her twice, caught caterpillars and threw them on her, and squeezed juice from picked wild fruits and poured them on her.

Among these things that were enough to make others furious, Lin Zhiwan disliked the last one the most.

Because wild fruits stain clothes, it is difficult to wash them off.

She would feel it was a waste if the few pieces of clothing were ruined like this.

During the Chinese New Year, he deliberately chased her with firecrackers and blew them up because:

"The firecrackers are so loud, I wonder if the deaf can hear them."

Whenever a new trick toy comes into the village canteen, she will be the first one to experiment on it.

What impressed Lin Zhiwan the most was when a child handed her a box of chewing gum with a smile. She was flattered and took it carefully, only to see a big black beetle jump out of the box.

Are these actions malicious?That's not the case either.

Because the adults in the village are still kind to them, the naughty children will also be whipped by their parents after returning home.

Lin Zhiwan is not angry about this, she is just nervous and scared.

But the person standing in front of him was Su Chengyi. Lin Zhiwan still mustered up the courage and poked his empty fist.

Su Chengyi smiled slightly and spread his palms.

It turned out to be a lollipop!

Lin Zhiwan's eyes lit up.

She raised her face, subconsciously trying to make sure it was for her.

Su Chengyi seemed to understand her eyes and nodded.

Lin Zhiwan then boldly reached out to get it.

The back half of the lollipop was hidden in his shirt cuff. When she took it, she felt some resistance.

She hesitated for a moment and then used a little more strength.

The tail of the lollipop is actually connected to another one.

Lin Zhiwan was pleasantly surprised and then pulled back.

Colorful lollipops were brought out one after another, like greedy snakes.

It turned out that he bought a whole lollipop and hid it in his sleeve.

Finally got it.

Su Chengyi untied the cufflinks again and rolled up the cuffs.

For this little trick, the sleeves were tied so tightly just now, it was really hot.

But seeing Lin Zhiwan holding a long string of lollipops, smiling with crooked eyebrows, she felt that it was worth the heat.

Life is so bitter, so you should eat more sweet things.

Until the two returned to Su Chengyi's house, Lin Zhiwan was still feeling at ease and happy.

Is there anyone in the world who is more deceptive than Sister Lin?
A few lollipops, costing five yuan, can make me so happy.

Su Chengyi sat at the table, holding her chin and looking at her profile.

He clearly has a face of Huizhilanxin.

Only later did Lin Zhiwan react when she noticed Su Chengyi's gaze and quickly put the candy into her small bag.

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Su Chengyi thought for a moment and seemed to hesitate, but still nodded.

When cooking, you might be banging pots and pans, but wait until later.

Ignoring Lin Zhiwan's strong objections, Su Chengyi squeezed into the kitchen to attack her.

But he soon discovered that Lin Zhiwan seemed to be more efficient by herself.

I am not attacking but causing trouble.

So I had to stop, fold my arms and look aside.

The way Lin Zhiwan cooks can be described as pleasing to the eye.

She processed the ingredients in an orderly manner, her movements were clean and efficient, and coupled with her serious look with lowered eyebrows, people who didn't know it thought she was a chef filming a documentary.

Documentary?
Su Chengyi suddenly had a thought in his mind.

In the era of Internet bloggers, many accounts that record and share daily cooking routines have become popular.

No introduction or explanation is needed, just cook and eat quietly.

Lin Zhiwan is obviously suitable for taking this path.

He secretly kept this idea in mind and prepared to discuss it together next time Lin Tong was there.

By the way, I don’t know how Lin Tong is doing now.

Su Cheng realized what Xu Yang said.

It seems that Xu Yang's cousin has been living abroad, and now she suddenly returned to China.

Her social circle must be those who are more open and enthusiastic. At first glance, it is difficult for Lin Tong to parry the situation.

Su Chengyi turned on her phone and sent a text message to Lin Tong's phone number.

"How about it?"

It wasn't until the three dishes prepared by Lin Zhiwan were put on the table that Lin Tong replied:
".---."

Su Chengyi couldn't help laughing.

This is Morse code to the rescue.
