Luting Canteen

After buying the dishes, Tang Meng greeted Song Song and took Li Hui back.Walking out of the vegetable market, the breakfast stalls on both sides of the street have already lined up one after another.

Li Hui followed Tang Meng, looking curiously as he walked.Before, because of fear, I could only avoid people and peek as much as possible. Now I see everyone yawning, some holding noodle bowls, and some impatiently stomping their feet in the queue. The aroma and heat are wafting in the morning light. , This ordinary morning made Li Hui feel a little relieved, the sleepless life some time ago seems to have happened a long time ago.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Hui's stomach started growling. Luckily, the streets were bustling, and the noises were covered by the sounds of cars coming and going. Li Hui held the food in his hand and continued to follow Tang Meng. Walking forward, after a while, Tang Meng stopped in front of a shop.

"Li Hui, can you eat spicy food?"

"able......"

"Then let's eat a little here. The stuff we bought here is called burnt plum, and it's delicious."

Li Hui's eyes lit up, he swallowed, and said embarrassingly:

"I, I don't have any money..."

Tang Meng raised the thin wallet in his hand, and stood behind the line with a smile:

"This is the benefit of buying, we can buy it and eat it, Yan Ting said."

Hearing it was Yan Ting's words, Li Hui had a smile on his face, Tang Meng looked at that smiling face, and remembered a certain summer day long ago, when someone raised his head and smiled like this.

"Young Master Tang, let's eat here, what should you do?"

After recovering, Tang Meng looked down at Li Hui and said:

"Then shall we buy it and eat together?"

"it is good!"

Tang Meng laughed, put the big bag in his hand on the ground, took out his mobile phone and dialed Yan Ting's number, after saying a few words, he put the phone gently to Li Hui's ear.

"Li Hui?"

Hearing Yan Ting's voice, Li Hui opened his eyes wide, and immediately remembered seeing Chi Yeqi and Tang Meng from his mobile phone, so he tried to speak:

"Master, son?"

Probably because the ending sound was too rising, Yan Ting seemed to smile over there.

"Is the food ready?"

"Yeah, yeah, I bought it."

"Are you hungry? If there is anything else you want to eat, ask Tang Meng to buy it for you."

Yan Ting's voice on the phone sounded gentler than usual, Li Hui nodded sharply at the phone:

"I, I see, thank you, thank you son!"

"come back earlier."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ting looked at the screen of the mobile phone and his mouth curled up. He didn't notice a man with long black hair standing behind him. As soon as he turned around, he was hugged tightly.

When carefully carrying Shaomei into the kitchen, Li Hui saw a man with long hair leaning on Yan Ting's shoulder, his bangs were scattered to cover his face, and Yan Ting was reaching out his hand to touch that man's face.Li Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he stood there speechless.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Meng put down the big cloth bag with vegetables at the door, saw Li Hui who was not moving, looked over to where he was looking, smiled and said:

"Ye Qi, get up quickly."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ting's hand pinched the long-haired man's face and pulled it out:

"Get off."

"Hey hey! Boss! Boss, take it easy!!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Li Hui took a closer look and found that the person was indeed Ye Qi.I saw him straightening his long hair to the back, neatly tied it behind his back, stood up and stretched:

"Little Lihui~ What did you bring back? It smells so good."

"Burning, burning plums."

Answering Ye Qi's words, Li Hui's eyes never left him.Ye Qi with long black hair looks very beautiful, wearing a dark blue Hanfu, with a heroic look between his brows.

"Is that Yanshi roasted plum by the vegetable market? That one is delicious!"

Taking the big packing box that Li Hui was holding and putting it on the table, Ye Qi opened the plastic bag covered with steam beads, took out the convenient chopsticks inside and handed them to Li Hui, Yan Ting took a pair and broke them open, Li Hui took out the one in his hand and gave it to himself, and demonstrated it to Li Hui again.

Ye Qi ate a mouthful of hot roasted plums, and shouted indistinctly:

"Boss, do you know what spoiling is?"

Yan Ting moved the plum bowl away, and snorted:

"Then I dote on you too?"

"Don't, don't, I can't take it."

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

Tang Meng picked up one and blew it, and the four gathered around the table to eat the burnt plums.Li Hui carefully picked up a piece. The thin skin of the burnt plum was wrapped with stuffing, the oil seeped out, and the whole thing was steamed translucently. Soy sauce-colored stuffing comes.Like Yan Ting, Li Hui took a bite at the bottom first, the thick peppery sauce wrapped in the soft glutinous rice, it smelled delicious.The roasted plum stuffing slowly flowed out along the opening, Li Hui quickly sucked it in with his mouth, it turned out that there were diced meat and shiitake mushrooms in it, the thick juice was probably made from them, no wonder it was so fresh.

Seeing that Li Hui was concentrating on eating, Yan Ting took out a piece of paper and wiped the glutinous rice grains from the corner of his mouth. Ye Qi saw it, and when he was about to open his mouth, Yan Ting glared him back.

The four of them drank some hot tea after eating, and after a while they went to Luting with vegetables to start preparing.In the end, for some reason, Ye Qi didn't leave until he finished helping. Li Hui peeked at him from time to time. Ye Qi turned his head to meet his gaze, and grinned:

"How about little Li Hui? Does your hair look good today? I came here wearing a wig."

Nodding his head, Li Hui stretched out his hand to touch it. It felt like real hair. Ye Qi stood up straight and opened his arms, and asked again:

"Are the clothes nice?"

"nice."

"Do you want Li Hui to wear your own clothes today?"

"But--"

"Cosplay also wears ancient costumes. It must be interesting for us to stand together in the store later. Go and change."

Li Hui couldn't hold back Ye Qi, so he had to go across the courtyard to the bedroom to change clothes. When he came back, Ye Qi nodded and praised him, and was dragged to the courtyard to take pictures with his mobile phone.After eating the preserved egg, he lay on the wooden table, wagging his tail leisurely, and stared at the two of them with caring and foolish eyes.Unknowingly playing for a long time, it was not until Grandpa Fu walked in with a smile on his lunch box that Li Hui realized that it was almost time for business.

"Today Ye Qi came first, hey, what are you doing with Tang Meng's cousin?"

"Cosplay," Ye Qi explained with a smile, then bent down and made a bow: "Grandpa, please——" deliberately prolonging the ending sound, which made Grandpa Fu laugh, watching the two children nod repeatedly:

"Okay, it's fine, it's fine, the clothes and hair suit you very well, it's kind of like that. I see, this little guy looks more like your cousin now."

"Uncle Tang's younger brother is also my younger brother, the same."

Taking Grandpa Fu's lunch box with a smile, Ye Qi patted Li Hui's shoulder.Li Hui was very happy. Thinking about it, he ran to get a menu and ran over to Grandpa Fu who sat by the window, and whispered:

"Grandpa, what do you want to eat?"

Grandpa Fu didn't say anything about the fact that Yan Ting knew the dishes he ate, took the menu with a smile on his face, pointed and said:

"This, one meat and two vegetables."

Li Hui took a look at it, silently wrote down these four words in his heart, bent over to his grandfather, ran to the kitchen and told Yan Ting.Yan Ting turned around to look at Grandpa Fu and nodded after listening. Grandpa Fu smiled and waved his hands, and chatted with Ye Qi sideways.

After Ye Qi and Li Hui sent Grandpa Fu out of the yard, guests came in one after another, many of them looked at Ye Qi and Li Hui, whispering or smiling.Back in the cafeteria, Yan Ting was cooking. Li Hui wanted to help in the kitchen, but Ye Qi grabbed him:

"Xiao Lihui wants to be with me today~"

He said and blinked.Li Hui was puzzled, only to find that there were obviously more eyes around him, some looked over with no expression, and some were friendly with a smile.

"Ah, there it is!"

Hearing the voice, Li Hui looked towards the door, and it turned out that those female students had come.

"Hello, what would you like to eat today?"

Ye Qi smiled gently and handed over the menu.The girls took it, and went to the long cooking table to look at the ingredients on the white enamel plate, and discussed together, but their eyes still kept on looking at Ye Qi and Li Hui.After a while, a girl with glasses and a ponytail finally came out and asked:

"Excuse me, can we take a photo with you two?"

"Okay, let me ask little Li Hui first," Ye Qi pulled Li Hui over, leaned into his ear and whispered, "A girl wants to take a photo with you. If it's a man, it's best not to refuse."

Li Hui nodded half-understood, Ye Qi smiled and pointed out: "Then let's hurry up and go to the yard, there are not many people now, let's go." A group of people went to the yard and took several photos with their phones. Zhang, the girls said thank you with happy faces, Ye Qi glanced at Li Hui and asked:

"Do you think it's weird for boys to grow hair?"

"Not surprising?"

The girls answered in unison.

"Ah, it's just because you all like to read manga, so you're used to boys with long hair, right?"

Looking at each other, the girl with glasses thought for a while and said:

"Although there is a reason for that, but, it doesn't matter whether you have long hair or short hair, as long as you like it."

"It didn't bother anyone else,"

"That's right, besides, didn't all boys in ancient times have long hair?"

Hearing this, Li Hui was taken aback, and looked up at Ye Qi, who smiled at him.

"Also girls have short hair, but they look comfortable and cute."

"Ah, speaking of which, the last time I saw a young lady——"

For some reason, the topic turned to hairstyles. Ye Qi waved to the girls in a good mood, and was stopped when he was about to leave:

"Brother Ye Qi, last time, you may not have seen the private message on Weibo, I, I took a picture, but I didn't capture the faces of the two of you, can you post it on Weibo?"

"You don't need to call me Da Da, just call me Ye Qi, what kind of photo is it?"

The other party timidly found it out and handed it to Ye Qi. It turned out to be the back view of him holding Li Hui.

"It's ok, today's one is also ok, right little Lihui?"

Although Li Hui didn't know what Weibo was, he nodded, and Ye Qi added:

"Then I would like to trouble you to tag Luting Cafeteria. If you have time, help us promote it more, thank you."

The girls who got the answer nodded happily, and everyone returned to the cafeteria talking and laughing. Li Hui walked slowly while looking serious, and remembered what Yan Ting said to himself before, ""Finally walked into the kitchen, Yan Ting Ting was putting the fried dishes on the plate, knowing that it was Li Hui, he asked without raising his head:

"Finished filming?"

"That, lord, lord!"

"What's up?"

"Head, hair, I want to keep it, no, I won't cut it!"

Yan Ting smiled and nodded, Li Hui stared at him, clutching the corners of his clothes with both hands, mustered up his courage and said loudly:

"Also, and! I, can I continue to wear the old clothes of the young master? Because, if I wear them, it feels like being hugged by the young master, and it is very comfortable!"

With a sound of "bang dang", the spatula in Yan Ting's hand fell to the ground, and the cafeteria was instantly quiet again.Seeing this, Ye Qi quickly laughed and poured water for everyone to talk.There were two people standing there in the kitchen, the tall one's ears were a little red, the small one didn't notice it, just looked up and waited for an answer.

Picking up the spatula and throwing it into the sink, Yan Ting handed the plate to Li Hui:

"You can wear it if you like it. Tell Ye Qi that this is for table five,"

Li Hui took it carefully, glanced at the stains on the floor, Yan Ting waved at him:

"I come."

When Li Hui went out, Yan Ting tore off a kitchen towel, knelt down and scratched his hair, then wiped the floor with a sigh.
