Chapter 90 Hot Pot
Chapter 90 Hot Pot
Seeing the price of these cookies, Shen Ruoyun felt as if she were chewing gold nuggets, not cookies.
Although his family was quite wealthy in his previous life.
However, besides providing him with relatively good conditions in terms of food, clothing, and housing, Shen's parents also...
He wasn't given much pocket money when he was in school.
Especially during my elementary school years, I was penniless.
Anyone who has ever been a child knows that the allure of spicy strips for kids is comparable to getting a block from LeBron James in basketball.
He once wanted to eat a certain brand of spicy strips.
When I was in first grade, I secretly took Ms. Yang Qingtan's diamond brooch worth 30 yuan and tried to exchange it with my deskmate.
He did this very discreetly, but his counter-surveillance capabilities need improvement.
As for how things went wrong, it's a little embarrassing to talk about.
Originally, Xiao Shen Ruoyun secretly hid outside the wall and finished eating the spicy snacks before daring to enter the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he was caught red-handed by Ms. Yang Qingtan.
Shen Ruoyun naturally tried her best to argue, attempting to get away with her clumsy acting and language skills.
But the other party simply reached out and wiped his lips with their index finger, leaving him speechless on the spot.
They even forcefully searched his pants pockets and found evidence of his crimes that he hadn't had time to deal with.
The chili oil got all over his crotch, so that night they cooked him a spicy chicken dish.
Shen Ruoyun cried so hard that it was earth-shattering and ghost-weeping.
Fortunately, Shen's mother took her to the bathroom and cleaned her up, preventing her from being ruined at such a young age.
But the matter is not over yet.
Shen Ruoyun had just recovered from the trash incident when her classmate's mother immediately came to her door.
He returned the valuable brooch to Mrs. Shen.
Shen Ruoyun was pulled out and questioned on the spot. He wanted to exchange a secret signal with his deskmate.
As a result, the parents directly placed him under investigation, and there was nothing they could do about it.
After much thought, Shen Ruoyun finally found a perfect excuse.
He lied and claimed that it was a betrothal gift for his classmate.
To this day, he still remembers the look on the other parent's face, as if they had just eaten poop.
"Junjun, let's go eat first. There's a hot pot restaurant up ahead that's pretty good," Chen Jiaxi asked, turning her head slightly.
Shen Ruoyun snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Chen Jiaxi.
"Ah? What did you say?"
"I said that hot pot restaurant over there is pretty good, do you want to try it?"
Shen Ruoyun didn't refuse when she heard there was hot pot to eat.
"Then I'll treat you, as a thank you for letting me hitch a ride."
I have to say this hot pot restaurant does look pretty good; it's packed with people even on holidays.
As soon as they entered the store, two staff members came up to them to show them the way. Chen Jiaxi stepped aside and let Shen Ruojun walk in front.
Chen Jiaxi must have booked a private room here. The two of them were led upstairs by a waiter.
As soon as I went up to the second floor, three or four men dressed in a rather flamboyant manner walked towards me.
Upon seeing Chen Jiaxi, they immediately stopped to greet her.
"Hello, senior."
Although Chen Jiaxi is not very old, she has been involved in music for several years.
He has produced many hit songs, and it can be said that he has a place among the new generation of original singers.
Many film and television production companies even frequently seek to collaborate with him, as the saying goes, bad movies often produce amazing songs.
Some TV series and movies may not be very well made, but if they release a hit song, they can still boost the ratings.
Chen Jiaxi had a similar record before, and was thus dubbed the "OST God of War".
There were fewer customers on the second floor, so Chen Jiaxi took off her mask, which is how she was recognized.
The other party seemed to be artists from the same company, but Shen Ruoyun didn't recognize them, since they weren't in the same building.
Chen Jiaxi didn't seem to have a deep impression of the other party, and only nodded symbolically.
"Do you want to book a private room, senior? But the waiter said there are no private rooms available."
This hot pot restaurant is so popular that it doesn't accept online reservations, so it's normal that you can't get a private room at this time.
Upon hearing what the other person said, Chen Jiaxi turned her head and waved to one of the waiters, whispering a few words in his ear.
The waiter nodded in understanding and walked over to the group.
"Gentlemen, please follow me."
Shen Ruoyun watched as the group of people were led into a private room by the waiter, then turned to look at Chen Jiaxi.
"You don't own this hot pot restaurant, do you?"
"No, how could that be?" Chen Jiaxi immediately denied.
Shen Ruoyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't true. He couldn't let his peers fall too far behind.
"This is owned by Chen Jiale. I just came here to patronize his business."
Shen Ruoyun: "..." You might as well not say anything.
Chen Jiale: Stop always freeloading.
The two entered a private room, which was decorated in a unique style and had a great atmosphere.
"Gentlemen, what kind of soup base would you like?"
The waiter, holding the menu, smiled and asked Chen Jiaxi.
"Junjun, you order, don't be shy with me."
Shen Ruoyun glanced at Chen Jiaxi and thought to herself that the other person must be careful to protect their voice when singing.
"I'd like a hot pot with two broths, one spicy and one tomato."
"Okay, what are your spiciness requirements?"
Shen Ruojun blurted it out.
"Extremely spicy!" But he quickly changed his mind.
"Never mind, medium spicy it is." He said, raising his hand to touch the back of his neck.
Shen Ruoyun suddenly developed a pimple on the back of her neck. Although she applied medicine, it just wouldn't go away.
Now that he's an actor, he still needs to be careful.
Staring at the bubbling, red oily broth in the pot, Shen Ruoyun swallowed hard.
The waiter brought in the food for the two of them and arranged it.
"We can do it ourselves, thank you."
Shen Ruojun wasn't used to being served meals, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After the waiter left, Shen Ruoyun poured the beef into the pan to heat it.
After holding the chopsticks for a while, he quickly picked up a piece of beef with the serving chopsticks and put it into Chen Jiaxi's bowl.
He urged in a low voice, "Eat quickly, don't let it get cold."
Chen Jiaxi's heart pounded as she looked into Shen Ruoyun's sincere and concerned eyes.
He immediately obeyed and put the beef in his mouth, saying something somewhat indistinctly.
"good to eat…"
Seeing Chen Jiaxi's expression, Shen Ruoyun finally felt relieved.
"Then it should be cooked." He said, picking up a large spoonful for himself and then another large spoonful for Chen Jiaxi.
Shen Ruojun ate with gusto, her mouth dripping with oil.
Chen Jiaxi wasn't very hungry and finished what was in her bowl.
She leaned closer to Shen Ruojun and focused on cooking the vegetables for him.
She poured Shen Ruoyun a glass of orange juice and carefully placed it beside him.
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Shen Ruoyun shook his head; he couldn't eat much more, this would be just right.
"I'm going to the restroom first." Chen Jiaxi handed Shen Ruojun a tissue and left the private room.
