The lonely foodie

Chapter 17 Chapter 17

After seeing the person who sent the WeChat message clearly, the light in Zhang Yan's eyes turned from bright to gray, and disappointment welled up in her heart.

But after reading the news, he became happy again, and finally found a reason to contact Qu Mobai.

Qu Mobai, Qu Mobai, Qu... Mobai, even the name reads like a poem, which makes people's hearts flutter.

Wechat was sent by a friend, saying that today I searched according to the address Zhang Yan said, and the Heping Hot Pot was not open. Hearing Wang Feng and the others say that the hot pot is so delicious, I really feel itchy and greedy. I want to invite Zhang Yan can help to make a reservation.

Who is Wang Feng?Remember the Armani greasy man who went to the hot pot restaurant?The one with the crackling face.

—Okay, wrap it on me.

Zhang Yan agreed without hesitation, and after struggling for 3 seconds between sending Qu Mobai a WeChat message or making a phone call, she decided to make a call, even if it was good to hear his voice.

Mo Bai closed the store door, and went down the stairs with Ivan one after the other.The blue cat turned around and disappeared, maybe it went home by itself.

Ivan was startled when the phone rang.

I am your little apple, I can never love you too much...

Where did you download such a retro ringtone?

Zhang Yan's heart skipped half a beat when she heard Mo Bai's voice. This feeling was only felt when she first fell in love in high school. She didn't expect her heart to beat even now that she is old.

"Why don't you open the door today? Our two friends have been shut down in the past." Zhang Yan squeezed a velvet pillow into her arms and told herself to calm down and not show timidity.

"I went out to buy wine today, I'm really sorry." Mo Bai explained.

"You can't just say sorry." Zhang Yan's tone was a bit coquettish, "You have to make amends."

Mo Bai was stunned for a moment, he is not a young man ignorant of the world, the breath of love is the same in the past and present lives.

There were thousands of twists and turns in my heart, but my face remained calm, with a gentle smile like a breeze and white dew still on the corner of my lips, "Come to the store some other day if you have time, I will treat you to make an apology."

"No need to change the day, I have time tomorrow."

"Okay, it's a deal, see you tomorrow."

You are my little apple, like the most beautiful cloud in the sky...

In the small square in front of the Normal University, a group of aunts set up their poses and prepared to dance. The music that accompanied the dance was "Little Apple". Ivan knew how Qu Mobai's bell sounded.

One of the aunts saw them approaching and waved her hand happily.

"Xiaobai, are you going to dance today?" the aunt called out in a hoarse voice.

"Jump!" Mo Bai was quite excited.

Mobai, about 1.8 meters tall, with a face that is not stained with fireworks, followed a group of aunts twisting his legs, waving his hands, and jumped onto the square dance with a wave of his head.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such a Qu Mobai. Ivan was shocked, squatted down on the roadside tooth, and groped in his trouser pocket for a long time, only to realize that he didn't know how to smoke at all.

What about this picture?I really wanted to take a picture and pass it on to Zhang Yan, which completely cut off her thoughts.

At the end of the month, the net profit increased to [-] yuan, which was much better than Ivan expected, but there are still many people who have not made a reservation. Now there is no need to worry about the source of customers, what is lacking is manpower and space.

Mobai frowned lightly, and his slender fingertips flew over the rosewood abacus, writing down the numbers while estimating the cost of the next month.

Ivan propped his elbows on the dining table and held his face in his palms. Not to mention, Mo Bai's temperament is really suitable for abacus. Coupled with his long gown, he looks like a handsome old-fashioned man.

"I've made money, can I take you to eat something delicious?" Mo Bai raised his eyes and looked at Ivan with a smile.

Ivan's eyes lit up, "Is seafood okay?"

"Okay!" Mo Bai nodded, and said, "In two months, we will take down the two stores next door and expand the store. You should also pay attention to it recently and recruit some neat people."

"Yes." Ivan nodded, "Put the recruitment information online when you get back."

After getting into the taxi, Ivan realized that he had left his phone in the store, and it would be troublesome to go back to get it now, so he planned to pick it up when he went back after dinner.

Dongxiang Impression is a seafood buffet restaurant. The owner is from Dongxiang Island in Pingtan. Maybe he is homesick. He even opened a special photo wall to post photos of the sea.

There are blue seas, silent seas with starry sky, and huge roaring waves.

There were a lot of customers coming and going, standing in front of the photo wall for a long time like this, not many people looked at each photo carefully, the restaurant couldn't help noticing Mo Bai.

"What? Do you like the sea?" He walked over and greeted Mo Bai.

Mo Bai nodded, "I have seen rivers, lakes, and rivers, but I have never seen the sea."

"It's easy." The boss said, "Buy a plane ticket, and you'll be at the beach in two hours."

"En." Mo Bai nodded again, "I will definitely go."

Garlic oysters are the signature dish of Dongxiang Impression. Many people think that the secret must be in the garlic sauce. In fact, anyone who has seen it knows that their sauce is not unusual at all.

The boss doesn't hide it either, they can do everything from the boss to the cleaning aunt.

Half of the old garlic and half of the new garlic, cut into minced garlic, the finer the better, there is nothing special about this step, the key is to be patient.

Divide the minced garlic in half, add the chopped millet pepper and mix well, heat the bottom of the pot, pour in rapeseed oil, add peppercorns, aniseed, fragrant leaves, and scallions to cook the oil until fragrant.

Remove the spice slag from the boiled oil, put the minced garlic mixed with millet pepper and simmer until the minced garlic is golden, turn off the heat, pour in the remaining raw minced garlic, add light soy sauce, sugar, and oil out of the pan.

Garlic sauce is not difficult to make. The key lies in the oysters. Choose the oysters that are plump and have a thick shell. When you break them apart, the oyster meat is crystal clear and the color is like milk. When you poke it lightly with your hands, it is full of elasticity.

The oyster meat itself is delicious enough, coupled with the spicy garlic, it is even more delicious that people can't stop eating.

When roasting oysters, a small quail egg is also very delicious, and the baked egg has the umami taste of seafood. Many guests also come for this delicacy.

Ivan got up, ready to pick up two more oysters, just stood up, saw a few people walking in the door, and sat down suddenly again.

"What? Don't eat?" Mo Bai wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and turned his head following Ivan's gaze.

Seeing that one of the people who came in was Zhang Yan, she immediately turned her head back, bowed slightly, and hid her head under the back of the booth, deliberately avoiding the sight of those people.

Zhang Yan didn't see them, so she talked and laughed with a few friends and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Ivan and Mobai looked at each other, and fled out with their waist down. The seafood buffet was not full, and Ivan felt distressed for a long time.

With the smell of grilled oysters on his body, Mo Bai went back to take a shower first, and Ivan went to the store to pick up his phone.

A small figure squatted in front of the store.

"Little Huihui?" Ivan called out, and there was a meow.

Xiaohuihui is the name Ivan gave to the blue cat, because the cat's fur looks gray. After two calls, the cat understands. Once called Xiaohuihui, it will answer.

Because there are often cats who are free to eat, Mo Bai bought cat food online and came back. Ivan put some cat food in a porcelain bowl for feeding cats and put it on the ground. He went to the dining table to pick up his mobile phone.

Xiao Huihui ate slowly, and Ivan squatted beside him playing with his mobile phone to wait for it. With the help of a light at the door, he suddenly saw a note pasted on Xiao Huihui's collar.

——Help me, Building 27, Kadaksberg Building.

The font is very elegant and looks like a girl's handwriting.

Kadakes?Seeing this address, Ivan's pupils shrank. Yifei also lives in this community.

The note was written with the kind of price tag that sticks on the outside of the bag when you buy vegetables in the supermarket, and it was easy to peel off.

Walking all the way back to the rental room, I felt a little unspeakable uneasiness in my heart.

Ivan didn't go back to his room, but knocked on Mobai's door first.

Soon someone came and opened the door. Mo Bai had just taken a shower. He was wearing a long gown, his hair was wet, and he smelled of soap.

His white-washed long gown is no longer suitable for this era, but he still likes to wear it when he is alone, and he feels that he is more like himself when he wears a long gown.

And Ivan has long been used to his nondescript attire.

Ivan handed the note to Mo Bai, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Mo Bai also had a worried look on his face, "You mean this matter is related to Yi Fei?"

Ivan sat cross-legged on a chair beside the bed, his dark eyes were full of confusion, "I'm not sure, but the address is in the same neighborhood as Yifei's home."

"Is it the same room?" Mo Bai asked again.

Ivan shook his head, "No, Yifei's family lives in a tower building. The Cadaques community is divided into a tower building and a castle building. The tower building is a high-rise building, and the castle building is a garden house. The distance between the two buildings is quite far."

The self-adhesive side of the note was stuck to the table, and the ink-white index finger rubbed against it, making the note stick more and more firmly.

"Did you say it was a prank?" Ivan asked.

"It's not like." Mo Bai shook his head, "It doesn't look like this character was written by a child. The font is beautiful. It should be an adult woman. An adult woman with a normal IQ would not make such a joke, right?"

Ivan agrees with Mo Bai's analysis. If this matter has nothing to do with Yifei, he should be very excited. Please call me I. Conan Fan, and then follow suit and solve the biggest crime in the city together with the police. Kidnapping and murder, that's awesome.

But this address has something to do with Yifei, which is very annoying.

"Why don't you call the police." Ivan said, this was the least exciting and safest solution he could think of.

Mo Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, "Tomorrow we'll go and have a look first, and then decide whether to call the police after confirming the situation. If this is really a trap, the other party can also think that the most likely thing we should do is to call the police, and we may fall into a trap. "

Ivan gave him a thumbs up, the analysis made sense, and then he was a little worried, "Then if we rush over like this, will there be any danger?"

"Yi Fei doesn't want you to have a better life, not your life." Mo Bai said.

Well, the analysis is very thorough.

In fact, Ivan can also think of what Mobai said, but once things might involve Yifei, he will get confused first.
