Chapter 46(1/3)
Wash the vegetables and cut them into pieces. Then marinate the meat with black pepper and cooking wine, and finally skewers of iron.
They started preparing ingredients from about five o'clock until 7 o'clock in the evening, when it was dark, the four men carried the baking tray and brought the things to the open-air family restaurant on the second floor.
The evening breeze is approaching April, and it is not cold, I just feel cool and comfortable. The wind comes to me, blowing on my cheeks, and the pores in my body are relaxed and extremely comfortable. There are four large baking trays in total, and after they are all moved to the second floor, Lina walked up with the cut fruit tray.
Su Fei put down his things and ran directly to the edge of the balcony. He opened his eyes wide and was reluctant to blink.
Under the tall buildings, the winding Huangpu River comes from the south, surrounding the prosperous and luxurious riverside sides. Puxi is a long and golden street with magnificent lights set off the sycamore trees on both sides. The ancient old villas from the Concession period are dazzling in the bright golden brilliance. Pudong is a noble and atmospheric neon show, with skyscrapers lined up, and the lights shining on the shimmering river surface, filled with colorful colors.
The most beautiful night view in Shanghai is in sight.
Su Fei's eyes were red: "I have money, I really have money!"
Lina greeted him: "I have someone who has promised to barbecue, and I've lit the charcoal fire for you, and what about the people."
Su Fei immediately started to rub his hands: "Here I'm here. To be honest, I like to watch others eat the most. I love to eat hot pot, and I love to roast the barbecue. Have you ever seen a fool like me? If you don't believe me, I have never seen him. If you eat with me, you are really happy."
Everyone laughed.
Su Fei did have a good set of barbecue. He skillfully put the barbecue on the grill and brushed it with a layer of shiny oil. Soon, the oil made a sizzling sound on the fire, and the aroma of meat and chili powder spread, causing the index finger to move.
In the night, enjoying the night view of the city while eating barbecue, Old Joseph, as an American, looked at the buildings across the river and became interested.
"What does that building do? It looks very strange. I used to see these buildings in various places. I never knew what it was. It looked so interesting."
The only local Shencheng present was Fucheng, and he asked, "Which building did you say?"
Old Joseph: "Just that, there is a rectangular opening on his head."
Fucheng: "That's the Global Financial Center."
Joseph Old: "What should it be designed like this? Is there any special meaning?"
This stumped Fucheng. He pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I don't know the meaning, but the use is very obvious. At least compared to the Jinmao Building next to it," he laughed, "Old Joseph, you only noticed it, but you didn't even notice the Jinmao Building."
"Hey, you're very reasonable."
After hearing this, Lina and Su Fei became interested. The four of them barbecued meat while chatting. Only Mr. Zhuo sat aside with his eyes hanging down, eating meat bite by bite, and had no intention of paying attention to them at all.
The four of them were chatting enthusiastically, and Zhuo Huan didn't say a word, but he was sarcastic and arrogant, as if it was not him who was isolated at all, but he isolated the four people in Fucheng.
Old Joseph turned his head and shouted to him: "Reid."
Mr. Zhuo gave a look: "Hmm?"
Old Joseph: "Do you have a house in Pudong?"
"without."
"That's a pity. We also want to go to Pudong for a dinner and see the night view."
“…”
His purpose is to provide you with a place to have a dinner party?!
Zhuo Huan sneered, too lazy to pay attention to these mentally retarded people.
After a while, Zhuo Huan stood up and went to the table to get a bottle of drink. Su Fei and the other two didn't notice it. When he sat down, he did not sit in the position that was far away from everyone, but sat next to Fucheng. The moment he sat down, Fucheng paused slightly and turned to look at him.
Zhuo Huan didn't give him a glance. He bent his fingers, hooked them gently, and opened the can with a slight sound.
Su Fei: "I love SH... The lights on that building have been changing. Are you advertising? The kind of neon advertising?"
Fucheng glanced at it and recognized the building: "That is Zhendan Building. It's considered an advertisement, it's an open advertising space."
Su Fei scratched his head: "What is SH?"
Old Joseph saw it: "Shencheng! Su Fei, I find that you are getting stupider recently."
Su Fei: "Damn, who knows that someone will advertise to Shencheng to confess his love!"
Everyone laughed, and Fucheng couldn't help it: "This shouldn't be an advertisement I bought, but it's a city image promotion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed to the skyscraper in the distance: "Then I know this, this is definitely not a city image promotion... Liu Xue married me! Damn, can you still propose here?!"
Fu Cheng turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, the LED screen on Zhendan Building suddenly changed to five big words "Liu Xue Marries Me". Fu Cheng was also surprised for a while. He thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, no one will buy this LED advertisement for private purposes... I heard that it is very expensive. But it seems that there is nothing wrong with this."
Lina became interested: "How much?"
This time he really asked Fu Cheng down. He turned on his phone and checked it. Looking at the numbers on the phone screen, he was silent for a long time. When he raised his head, he looked serious: "700,000 an hour."
Su Fei: "..."
Joseph Old: “…”
Lina supported her face with one hand: "It's so romantic! If someone uses this to confess to me, I think I'll be moved."
The cold male voice sounded softly in the night wind: "Are you moved for 700,000 or for this stupid LED confession?"
Lina turned to look at Zhuo Huan and showed a charming smile: "700,000." She had no intention of hiding at all.
Zhuo Huan sneered: "Use this kind of mentally retarded thing to announce your private affairs to the whole world. Those who do this will never have an IQ of 80."
Su Fei said unconvincedly: "RIP, you don't understand the charm yourself, you have any reason, right?"
Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows lightly: "You are a man of understanding, have you become an adult?"
Su Fei: "..."
"I will become an adult in nine months!"
Old Joseph: "I know love very well, and the romantic and charming thing about women. Reid, this time I will also say to you. Only by loving a woman can you make your love for her public and let the world witness it. Don't you think this is the place where love never changes, eternal and beautiful?"
Zhuo Huan: "What never changes is mathematical theorems, not hormones and dopamine."
Joseph Old: “…”
"Teacher Zhuo, do you have a girlfriend?"
His expression suddenly stopped, and Zhuo Huan turned around and looked at the young man beside him.
Under the night sky, the beautiful and handsome young man stood up with his chin and looked at him quietly. His eyes were as bright as stars, and his pupils reflected the rippling light on the Huangpu River.
Su Fei slapped the table: "I don't even have a girlfriend, no wonder you don't understand the charm!"
Uncle Zhuo snorted coldly, took a sip of the drink, and didn't say anything else.
After everyone ate for a while, Lina suddenly remembered: "By the way, Reid, I remember you had collected a few bottles of good wine in that villa. You sold the villa, is the wine still there?"
Old Joseph had already eaten and drank for half of his food and drink, but now he was in a flash: "Good wine?!"
Lina smiled and said, "Tell you quietly that the last time I went to Reid Villa, I saw a bottle of Louis XIII."
Old Joseph: "Fuck!" He turned his head and stared at Zhuo Huan expectantly, with his eyes showing his brutality, as if he was looking at the most enchanting woman in the world.
Zhuo Huan: “…”
"You come here to me, just ask me to skewers of meat and drink my wine?" Zhuo Huan reminded, "Ha, today is my birthday."
Old Joseph: "Reid, when it's my birthday, I don't want your birthday gift? I haven't seen Louis XIII in my life, so just let me take a sip...Reid, I always think you are the most handsome man in the world. You who have Louis XIII are even more handsome!"
Zhuo Huan: “…”
"nonsense."
Old Joseph was stunned and then reacted.
You are the handsomeest man in the world.
nonsense.
Well, Mr. Zhuo’s automatic reply mode.
Zhuo Huan: "The person who proposed to him with LED in that building is mentally retarded."
Old Joseph immediately understood: "Yes, he is definitely mentally retarded."
Su Fei shouted, "A bottle of wine sold you? Where is your conscience, old Joseph!"
Zhuo Huan snorted and stood up.
Old Joseph: "Reid, what are you doing?"
"Get wine."
In an instant, the old Joseph seemed to have seen Jesus as if the believers had seen Jesus, and looked at Zhuo Huan's back as he walked away step by step. When Zhuo Huan went down the stairs and could no longer see him, he took back his obsessive look: "I announce that Reid is my God tonight, and no one of you is allowed to say bad things about him anymore. Especially you, Su Fei."
Su Fei: "..."
"A bottle of wine will make you stop loving women, and you will ask me not to scold RIP? Am I scolding him? I am telling the truth!"
Old Joseph looked at him quietly: "In 2012, a bottle of Louis XIII was auctioned at Christie's, and sold for 100,000 US dollars."
Su Fei: "..."
The punk boy stood up: "Where has the RIP gone? I want to be friends with him! I just like him with such a true character!"
Lina covered her lips and chuckled. Reid and Su Fei, Old Joseph, can get along so well, right?
Yu Guangli suddenly saw a shaking figure. Old Joseph and Su Fei were discussing what kind of friends Mr. Zhuo liked. Lina looked up at Fucheng and shouted to him: "Fu, where are you going?"
Fucheng stopped and smiled and said, "Go to the bathroom."
Lina: "Oh."
