sleepy tiger

Beside the glass water tank containing crabs, Chi Juntao raised his hands and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He secretly glanced at Mu Xu's face, took out a tissue from his pocket and reached out to wipe the splashed water on Mu Xu's body.

Mu Xu remained silent while Ren Chi Juntao wiped his expensive suit into a mess.

"Actually, this matter..." Chi Juntao started, but Mu Xu glared at him, and said angrily, "Okay, blame me."

"Yeah." Mu Xu squeezed out a monosyllable from his nasal cavity. He sniffed, couldn't stand the smell of crabs, took a step back, and said, "No matter what, you have to cook a pot of crabs tonight to compensate for my clothes."

"...I won't." Chi Juntao lowered his voice for the last two words, and he felt embarrassed, "I can help you do your laundry."

"This set must be dry-cleaned." Mu Xu said, "You can learn." He looked at the glass water tank, "Four crabs, go back and make meaty crab pot."

Chi Juntao waved to the staff, and said, "I want the four biggest ones." After that, he stood beside Mu Xu and whispered, "At least half of your responsibility."

Mu Xu thought for a while: "30.00%."

"Then you wash one and I wash three, how about that?" Chi Juntao bargained.

"Impossible." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao stared: "Are you reasonable?"

"No." Mu Xu said.

The domineering president never makes sense.

The wealthy young and old who depended on others had to reason.

Turning the timeline, Mu Xu and Chi Juntao stepped into an ordinary supermarket before the incident happened.Chi Juntao and Mu Xu, who lacked life experience, looked at each other. After a lot of back and forth arguments, the two chose the fresh food area, which seemed to have a simple and easy-to-handle processing process, to select ingredients.

Facing a tank of crabs with their teeth and claws open, Mu Xu asked Chi Juntao if he dared to catch the crabs without being pinched, and Chi Juntao said yes.An inexplicable proposition and two damned desires to win and lose resulted in a bet that whoever catches the crab with his bare hands will be in charge of the dinner.

Taking advantage of the crab's inattention, Mu Xu pinched it from the tail, lifted the crab and looked at Chi Juntao triumphantly, revealing a neat row of shiny white teeth.

Chi Juntao was stunned for a moment, and the crab's pincers brushed his fingertips. The crab in Mu Xu's hand stretched its teeth and claws, and he couldn't hold it firmly, broke free and fell into the water.Mu Xu urged: "It's your turn, catch it!" Chi Juntao listened to the advice and frantically went to catch the crab, splashing Mu Xu with water along the way.

The speechless clerk stood aside with folded arms, watching two well-dressed adult men play a childish game of catching crabs, and laughed disdainfully.

"I don't know how to make crab pot." Chi Juntao looked at the numbers on the electronic scale.

"A total of 92 yuan." The clerk said.

"Thank you." Mu Xu took the black plastic bag, listened to the sound of crabs rubbing against the plastic bag, and asked, "How do you make this thing?"

"Steamed and stir-fried, they are both delicious." The clerk said, "Brush it clean, remove the navel, cut it in half, throw it into the wok and stir-fry, it is delicious and very fragrant."

"Did you hear that?" Mu Xu looked at Chi Juntao, "Just do it."

Chi Juntao didn't want to talk to Mu Xu, he waved his hand and turned to leave. Mu Xu followed his footsteps: "What do you want to buy next?"

"Let me see." Chi Juntao took out his phone, clicked on the webpage, entered [stir-fried hairy crab], looked at the recipe and read, "Onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, coriander, fennel."

"Is there no one at home?" Mu Xu asked.

Chi Juntao asked, "Is there any?"

"No?" Mu Xu paused, realizing that the conversation between the two had fallen into an endless loop, he said, "I don't know."

"Just pretend it's not there." Chi Juntao wiped his face, "Do you remember where the seasoning section is? We passed by when we came over."

"Over there." Mu Xu pointed to the shelf on the left.

"You have a really good memory." Chi Juntao said.

"There is a sign on it." Mu Xu said, he looked up, and the listing above the shelf clearly showed the division of items.

Chi Juntao looked at Mu Xu in surprise: "Why didn't you mock me?"

"?" Mu Xu raised his eyebrows, with an expression of [what's wrong with you].

"I thought you would seize every opportunity to mock me." Chi Juntao said, "Because I accidentally stained your clothes."

"I satirize you and it has nothing to do with you staining my clothes." Mu Xu said, "I just like to mock you."

"Stop talking." Chi Juntao said, "Let me leave a good impression of you in my heart."

Mu Xu shut his mouth, turned into the seasoning area, and dragged Chi Juntao in.It's time to buy vegetables after get off work, and people come and go in the narrow corridors of the supermarket. He doesn't want to lose Chi Juntao and spend his precious time looking for him.

There are four rows of shelves, full of goods are placed in different categories, Chi Juntao looks to the left, Mu Xu looks to the right, the four eyes are extremely busy.Chi Juntao bent down and put the pepper powder into the shopping basket, and Mu Xu threw in a packet of fried powder.

"What is this?" Chi Juntao pointed at the fried powder.

"For frying things, I guess." Mu Xu said.

"Did you visit a supermarket when you were in London?" Chi Juntao asked.

Mu Xu said, "No, the housekeeper will replenish the refrigerator in time."

"Why don't you hire a housekeeper?" Chi Juntao asked, "Like you did in London."

"No need." Mu Xu said, he looked at Chi Juntao and smiled, "Aren't you my housekeeper?"

"..." Chi Juntao said with a straight face, "Thank you for looking up to me."

"You're welcome." Mu Xu said, straightening his waist, "Scallions, ginger, garlic, and peppers should be in the vegetable section."

The two shuttled through the supermarket like a scavenger hunt, found all the pieces, and lined up at the checkout counter.Mu Xu looked down at his watch and said, "We spent an hour shopping, including the invalid time for betting, looking up recipes, and making mistakes and turning back."

"But it's fun, don't you think it's fun?" Chi Juntao said.

"...and dry cleaning of a suit." Mu Xu said, with his hands resting on the trolley, "It's fun."

They are like two little boys, using the recipes queried on their mobile phones as a treasure hunt map, arguing over whether a certain seasoning is suitable, and refusing to ask the assistant assistant.An offline real-life treasure hunt game only costs the cost of dry cleaning a suit, which is very cost-effective, come and experience it.

The trolley stopped in front of the checkout counter, and Chi Juntao and Mu Xu took out the purchased products one by one, and placed them on the counter to scan.Among the crowded grocery shopping crowd, Mu Xu in suits and leather shoes stood out. The little girl at the checkout looked at Mu Xu several times in wonder, not admiringly, but strangely. She said, "130 six yuan. , are you a member?"

"No." Mu Xu said.

"Alipay or WeChat?" the checkout clerk asked.

"Alipay." Chi Juntao said, and he clicked on the payment page, "We need a plastic bag."

"Okay." The checkout clerk pulled a large plastic bag and handed it to Mu Xu, and scanned the payment code with a laser scanner.

Chi Juntao and Mu Xu put things into plastic bags together, and Mu Xu said, "I remember there are paper bags in the trunk."

"I forgot to take it." Chi Juntao said.

"Remember to take it next time." Mu Xu said.

"Is there a next time? I thought this time was a one-off." Chi Juntao said, "I just want to experience life."

"When I'm busy, you can buy it yourself." Mu Xu said, "Don't get lost."

"I'm not your housekeeper." Chi Juntao said.

Mu Xu picked up the plastic bag, tied it in a knot, and said with a smile: "You are now." He carried the bag and walked towards the exit, realizing that it was too strange to carry a plastic bag in a suit, so he threw the plastic bag to Chi Juntao, "You take it."

"Don't you think it's weirder to walk out of the supermarket in a suit?" Chi Juntao hugged the plastic bag and said.

"I want to be less strange." Mu Xu said, "At least it seems that I own this supermarket, not that I go to the supermarket to buy things."

Chi Juntao grinned, and quickly ran to keep up with Mu Xu: "Why didn't you expect to lose face when you and I were catching crabs?"

Mu Xu said: "Because I was very happy at that time." The words came out so fast that he didn't even have a chance to pause or take them back. He put his hands in his pockets in embarrassment. Anyway, this suit will be dry-cleaned when he returns home. He doesn't care if he touched the ginger and The hands of shallots are not clean.

Chi Juntao stretched his eyebrows and smiled lightly, very satisfied with Mu Xu's candid answer, he said, "Me too."

Stepping out of the supermarket, there was a gust of cool breeze, and a small cart selling roasted gluten was parked at the intersection, filled with the aroma, Mu Xu and Chi Juntao looked at each other, Chi Juntao said, "I'll go buy it, do you want to eat it?"

Mu Xu said, "You didn't ask me last time."

"Okay, okay." Chi Juntao stuffed the plastic bag to Mu Xu, "Hold it for me, and I'll be right back." He walked towards the gluten and made a "two" to the stall owner.

Mu Xu looked up at the dark sky, the warm yellow street lamps on all sides concealed the brilliance of the stars, but constituted another bustling scene of the world, and Chi Juntao's voice sounded in his ears: "Spicy, here you are."

Mu Xu took the roasted gluten from Chi Juntao's hand, took a bite, and commented, "It's delicious."
