Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 26 Only Couples Can Compete

Longtai Pedestrian Street is crowded with pedestrians, but the roads are relatively narrow. Green spaces, colorful pavement, street sculptures, seats and other facilities are set up on the street, creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

This place is transformed from the original central commercial street, so it is very prosperous, with many commercial buildings on both sides, all kinds of leisure and entertainment facilities, and a leisurely and comfortable consumption environment. All in one, it is a very good place to spend time.

Gongyan Seafood Barbecue Buffet Restaurant is located at the intersection of the Pedestrian Street. Passers-by can see it at a glance. The neon signboard of the restaurant is ostentatiously stretched out like an arm.

In the aisle in front of the restaurant, there are two rows of flower baskets, colorful balloons hanging on the door, and colorful plastic pieces left by the firecrackers on the ground.Next to the gate of the restaurant, a simple pergola was set up, and there were poster racks on the left and right, with attractive advertisements written on them.The guests are received by two beautiful young ladies, who have to get a number here before they can enter.

Chen Guotao took out a wet tissue and handed it to Xu Qiuyu, and complained on her behalf: "Why is the place where the queue is outside? It's so inhumane." The short sleeves of the shirt were wiped down.

Xu Qiuyu said from the perspective of the restaurant owner: "It's not my fault. If you hide in the house on the first day of opening, it will be difficult to attract customers. Fortunately, you just line up here to get a number, so you don't have to wait too long."

She is also a boss, so she understands what other bosses do.When her new store opened, she also thought about making a big splash, but after thinking about it, she gave up again.Her shop is in the handicraft business, and its target customers are mid-to-high-end people in Hulou Town. These people will not believe those flashy advertisements.

Still far away from the team, Hu Tu heard what the reception lady said: "Would you like to have a buffet, or participate in the big stomach king competition?... The big stomach king competition requires couples to participate, may I ask if you are with Which one will participate together?...This is your number plate, please take it, and go to the cashier inside to line up to pay."

"Why is it that only couples can participate in this competition?" Hu Tu stretched his neck and asked, his faint eyes shot over, and he felt that a basin of cold water was poured on his face, "Then why did I come here, do you want me to watch you eat? ?” He was a little disappointed.It was no wonder that if other people entered the competition with enthusiasm, but were told that they were not qualified, they would be as disappointed as Hu Tu.

Xu Qiuyu just found out about the requirements of the competition. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence. My friend will come over in a while. We can form two groups to participate. I will call her right away." She took out her mobile phone and quickly He dug out a number from the call log and called.

"Is your friend male or female?" Hu Tu asked curiously.

His current mood is a bit like a blind date. He has high expectations for someone he has never met. He doesn't force the other party to meet his expectations, but at least it must be a woman!And he has always believed that those who have the courage to travel alone are probably boys.He doesn't want to pretend to be a couple with a boy, even if it's just for the sake of the competition.

"Of course it's a woman." Xu Qiuyu swept Hu Tu up and down twice with strange eyes, as if to say, "You're asking questions knowingly", and then she added with a smile, "And she's also a super beautiful old lady." Beauty."

If you can hear a beautiful woman say that another girl is a big beauty from the mouth of a beautiful woman, then it can prove that they must be very good friends.As for whether the other girl is a big beauty, the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom, the conclusion is still open to debate.

But anyway, it must be a girl, and that's enough.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qiuyu said, "My friend won't arrive in half an hour. Let's get the number first and wait for her inside." Seeing the line getting shorter and shorter, she was still a little excited. The air conditioner has long been around the corner.

However, the lady at the reception stopped them and said very politely: "I'm sorry, couples are required to participate in the Big Stomach King Competition. If you want to go in alone, you can choose the ordinary buffet, and there is a [-]% discount!" Participating in the competition is buy one get one free, and if it's just one person, the [-]% discount is even cheaper.

Hu Tu discussed with the reception lady for a while, but because of the rules set by the boss, she said that he would not be allowed to get the number plate in advance.He glanced at Xu Qiuyu and asked for her opinion, Xu Qiuyu said: "Why don't you wait outside by yourself for a while, she will be here soon."

Hu Tu curled his lips. Now he understands how much water the woman has been talking about for a while. He talked for half an hour just now!But it can only be like this, he nodded and said: "Okay, you go in first, I will wait for a while." Then, he said to the reception lady, "Reserve a number for me, I don't want to wait a while." Will queue up again, this request is not too much!"

The reserved number is within the purview of the reception lady. She smiled and agreed to the request, and reminded: "The registration deadline for the Big Stomach King Competition is 11:00, please inform your partner not to be late."

Hu Tu didn't just wait there stupidly. He came to the pedestrian street for the first time and wandered around.He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the half an hour that Xu Qiuyu's friend said was not an imaginary number, otherwise, he would wait until the sea dries up.

Due to time constraints, Hu Tu didn't enter any shops, and he walked around in only ten minutes, and found many good places.For example, the Gu Peng Silver House selling gold, diamonds, jewelry, jewelry, the food court with a faint fragrance, the open-air barbecue shop located on both sides of the road, and the pawn shop built in imitation of ancient buildings, etc., all made him feel fresh.If there is no restriction, he can definitely spend a day here.

"It's such a good place, I'll come back a few more times another day." Hu Tu said to himself, swallowing involuntarily.He suddenly realized that he was no longer a student, but a free man who could wander around as long as he had money and as long as he had done the work he had to do.

"Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Like the woman I'm about to meet, I can travel alone to broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge." Hu Tu smiled.For some people, this is a life they are experiencing, but for him, it is just a dream, a dream that is getting closer and closer.

Hu Tu looked at the cafeteria line for a while, the woman hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't have her contact information, so he couldn't ask how long it would take for her to arrive.He looked at the pedestrian street with longing eyes, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and whispered: "Anyway, the person hasn't come yet, why don't I go around again."
