Chapter 1398: Not Changed at All

Respecting each other's character and having compatible values, this meal was eaten with great joy. Even though Lu Chuan and Song Tan didn't eat much, everyone was still happy when they parted ways.

Only Zheng Qu was puzzled and puzzled on the way back: "Are gods all so 'drinking wind and eating dew'?"

When ordering, the four of them ordered four dishes and one soup in total. Zheng Qu didn't pay attention at first, but when the dishes were served, they said the ordered dishes were all served! He wanted to add more, but who knew that after Song Tan and Huo Xueying said two words, the other party had an expression of "I understand," and didn't let him add more.

Honestly, if the dishes themselves weren't considered expensive, these few dishes wouldn't have met the minimum consumption of the private room.

"What do you know?" Huo Xueying had an envious expression: "After getting used to eating flat peaches, who wants to eat ordinary ones? I knew it when Song Tan told me she has a small appetite when she goes out now!"

"Ah, I also want to live this kind of picky-eating life!"

But as soon as this exclamation came out, she looked at the bag she was holding in her arms and couldn't help but have a happy and satisfied expression: "Tan Tan is really good to me! Really willing! She said there will be more tomorrow!"

Huo Xueying's style is that she must have what others don't, and if others have it, she must have more.

This gift was sent so directly and simply that Huo Xueying had already hugged her and stuck together countless times! At this moment, ignoring her boyfriend's confusion, she tried hard to ponder: "Going to eat with a fairy, I can't dress too shabbily tomorrow. What should I wear? Sigh, it seems that dress is missing a coat..."

Zheng Qu, who was ignored:...

"Pay attention to me!" The 27-year-old calm man in a gray jacket was aggrieved.

Huo Xueying looked up at him, then looked again. After a while, she suddenly rummaged through her bag and found that large jar of fried rice: "Come, come, come, you don't think that being an internet celebrity and bringing goods now is easy, right? Without some real skills, how could Song Tan become rich!"

She unscrewed the lid, grabbed a small pinch from her boyfriend's palm, and poured it out carefully—honestly, this cautiousness, Zheng Qu wouldn't even be like this when sharing instant noodles with others in kindergarten!

But Huo Xueying had already quickly wrinkled her face and tightened the jar, hugging it in her arms:

"Taste it! Bringing you, this mortal, a little shock of flat peaches today!"

The fried rice made by Seventh Uncle was crispy and fragrant. Because it was brought for Huo Xueying to nourish her stomach, no salt was added, just the pure fragrance of rice. Zheng Qu, who was now calm, didn't intend to eat things like this, but seeing Huo Xueying's stingy appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, and then raised his hand, stuffing all that handful of fried rice into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, besides the rough texture felt by his palate and tongue, he also perceived the unique crispy fragrance of that rice.

He paused and subconsciously chewed.

This fried rice was fried just right; it wasn't so hard that it tested his teeth like stones, nor was it too loose and dry to eat, but rather crispy when bitten.

After chewing a few more times, a chewy texture came out. The more he chewed, the more fragrant and sweet the starch became. Finally, his entire mouth was filled with that kind of happy satisfaction. Clearly, there was no seasoning at all, but it became more fragrant the more he chewed, making people unable to stop.

At this moment, Zheng Qu only had one thought in his mind: If he could eat such good things at home every day, he wouldn't come to any restaurant!

And at this moment, Huo Xueying was still beautifully imagining while holding the jar: "Tan Tan said she didn't expect so many people at the class reunion this time, and didn't expect to bring tea and alcohol. When the goods are delivered tomorrow, she will ask her family to bring me another jar of fried rice!"

Zheng Qu sat up straight instantly, full of expectation: "One jar for each of us?"

Huo Xueying was furious: "Don't even think about it! Song Tan said it's for me!"

"But don't you already have a jar?" Zheng Qu was also aggrieved.

"That's different!" The things hadn't arrived yet, but there was a thick longing in Huo Xueying's words: "That fried rice is different from this one. This one is for nourishing the stomach, and you can also soak it in tea to drink when you have nothing to do."

"That one is a snack! She said her Seventh Uncle is especially good at making it! He takes the steamed overnight rice and fries it with garlic sprouts and eggs into egg fried rice. The rice is cooked, but the fire doesn't stop... Baking it like this while flipping it from time to time, finally the whole pot of egg fried rice becomes a salty fried rice with a rich fragrance... This is very troublesome to make!"

She became greedy as she spoke, and at this moment, she lowered her head to look at the jar she was holding in her arms, and hugged it even tighter.

And Zheng Qu had already sat up straight: "Is this their own rice? Do they sell it?"

This was really a sad question.

Huo Xueying shook her head: "Not for sale, and I couldn't afford it even if it were for sale."

She could be considered the one who chatted most with Song Tan, and at this moment she knew quite a bit of news, and flipped out that bag of tea leaves in two or three moves: "This one, 300,000 yuan per jin."

Zheng Qu gasped!

My god! Unless he is in a high position and becomes a corrupt official of a farmer holding 1024 properties, how could he afford this tea?!

This is too much of a test for a cadre!

Huo Xueying shocked her boyfriend, and at this moment she felt proud in her heart, and added by the way: "I lied to you, that is the starting bid for others. Her supply price is less than 100,000 yuan per jin."

With the 300,000 just now, this less than 100,000 sounded much more affordable, but as soon as Zheng Qu's thought turned, he suddenly came back to his senses:

He was really floating; he dared to use the word "affordable" for tea that cost 100,000 per jin!

"So... " Huo Xueying sighed from the side: "I usually don't ask her what she sells in the store, because I can't afford it even if I ask, and I have to live frugally if I can afford it... Forget it!"

Woo... it's really melancholy to talk about it!

And Zheng Qu came back to his senses, and then quickly said: "Then you call her now, don't let her provide tea and alcohol for the class reunion tomorrow night, this is too much of a loss!"

"It was originally agreed that I would provide it, and I have prepared these things, so it won't affect anything if I bring them over."

Huo Xueying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No need! Song Tan is different from before now. These things are just her own things to her, and the price is given by herself."

She couldn't help but recall the past when she thought of this: "That's good too. Her family conditions were tight before, and she lived very frugally. She was happy when we ate a pot of spicy fragrant pot together on the day we received our salary."

"Many people become flamboyant and love to show off when they suddenly have money. But I see she has none at all, really as steady as before. So for the question of whether the price is a loss or not, she must have known it in her heart long ago."

She sat in the car and looked at the neon lights outside, and suddenly became happy again: "She hasn't changed at all!"

But the string that was tightly stretched on her body had relaxed, and she could clearly enjoy life more.

Zheng Qu didn't understand this feeling between girls, but regarding Huo Xueying's "not changed at all," he thought about it. Although his impression of Song Tan in his memory was really too little, even when she was living frugally on subsidies, he had never heard anyone say she was calculating.

Hmm, indeed not changed. ===== CHAPTER 1399 =====
