Chapter 58: The Battle of Picking Up Food, Three Girls Compete for a Hot Pot Dinner
Su Qianqian sat in the rattan chair in the corner of the living room the whole time.
She held the cup of low-sugar milk tea in her hand and slowly savored it.
Su Qianqian's two sets of photos were the first to be taken, and she only changed two poses.
One standing posture, the other leaning to the side by the window, totaling less than ten minutes.
After it was over, she went back to her room to change back into her own clothes.
Now, Su Qianqian is wearing a light blue shirt and a beige long skirt, quietly leaning against the back of a rattan chair, like an art film heroine who has accidentally wandered onto a comedy set.
Moreover, her gaze followed Lin Bei as he was being pulled around by the two girls, moving left and right a few times, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
really interesting.
This is much more interesting than novels and TV series.
Su Qianqian reached out and picked up the watermelon from the coffee table, taking a small bite.
It's cool and sweet, much like the taste of watching this great show.
The filming lasted for more than two hours in total.
They started filming around 9:00 AM and continued until nearly 11:30 AM.
In the middle, Song Qingning and Wu Xiaoxun each changed six outfits.
Denim mini skirts, floral tank tops, athletic shorts, preppy sailor uniforms...
Every time they changed outfits, they had to take a new set of photos.
After each set of photos was taken, Lin Bei would judge whose look was better.
Song Qingning chose clothes that were mostly casual and cool, and her movements were swift and her expression was cold, so she went for a "cool" look.
Wu Xiaoxun chose a sweet and cute outfit; the skirt would fly up when she twirled, going for a "cute" look.
The two have completely different styles, but they compete in the exact same way.
Su Qianqian got up twice to refill Lin Bei's water and also straightened the fruit plate on the coffee table that Wu Xiaoxun had knocked askew.
At 11:30.
Lin Bei finally put the camera on the coffee table and announced that he was done.
This was the first time he had ever felt that taking photos of beautiful women was so tiring.
Next time, I'll hire someone to take the photos for me; I definitely won't do it myself.
"What are we having for lunch?" Song Qingning tied her hair back up and looked at Lin Bei next to her.
"Let's have hot pot." Lin Bei stood up from the sofa and rubbed his knees.
"Sure, sure!" Wu Xiaoxun jumped up from the sofa and nodded excitedly. "There's a new one that just opened nearby. I went there with my classmates last time, and it was really good."
"Okay, let's go over now." Lin Bei bent down to tidy up the sample clothes on the coffee table.
Song Qingning helped him fold his clothes, while Su Qianqian put the three empty milk tea cups into the trash can.
When Wu Xiaoxun returned after making the call, she looked at Lin Bei with some disappointment, tapping her chest lightly with her finger a few times.
"Brother Lin Bei, I just asked the boss, and they said all the private rooms are booked, so we can only use the main hall."
Lin Bei: "It's fine, the lobby is fine too."
Soon, the four of them packed their things and went out one after another.
……
Ten minutes later.
Wu Xiaoxun led Lin Bei and the others into the hot pot restaurant.
This shop is located on a street corner. The storefront is not large, but the inside is quite deep. There are two rows of booths on the left and right, plus a few round tables in the middle, with a total of twenty or thirty tables.
It's lunchtime now, and the hall is almost full of people.
Steam rose from the copper pots on each table, mingling with the aroma of butter and Sichuan peppercorns, making the entire space feel like a giant sauna.
As soon as they entered, a young waiter came over and led them to an empty table.
The waiter took out a menu and gently placed it on the table: "What kind of hot pot base would you like?"
"We have spicy, mild, clear broth, tomato..."
"Spicy, please," Lin Bei said, picking up the menu. "What's the point of eating hot pot if you don't eat spicy food?"
The other three nodded in agreement with Lin Bei's statement.
Soon, the four of them sat down at the table.
Lin Bei and Song Qingning sat on one side, while Su Qianqian and Wu Xiaoxun sat on the other.
Lin Bei picked out a few dishes he liked and then handed the menu to someone else.
Song Qingning made tripe and duck blood, Wu Xiaoxun made shrimp paste and crab sticks, and Su Qianqian only made a serving of chrysanthemum greens and a serving of winter melon slices.
Lin Bei took the menu, ordered a few more meat dishes, and a pitcher of plum juice, then handed it to the waiter.
However, just as Lin Bei and the others entered the room...
All eyes were drawn to them.
Especially the two boys at the table on the left.
One of the boys, wearing glasses and with a buzz cut, was putting meat into the pot when he turned to look at Su Qianqian and Song Qingning.
His chopsticks, holding a slice of mutton, hovered in mid-air for a good ten seconds.
He didn't even notice the slices of meat slipping into the pot through the gaps between the chopsticks.
The table to the right is occupied by a couple.
The boy was peeling shrimp for his girlfriend when he saw the three beautiful women at Lin Bei's table. He had only peeled half of the shrimp shells when he suddenly forgot what he was doing.
His gaze first fell on Song Qingning, then was drawn to her by Wu Xiaoxun sitting next to him, and finally settled on Su Qianqian.
Three beautiful women with different styles, just sitting there doing nothing, are a beautiful sight to behold.
The boy's eyes darted back and forth between the three girls several times.
As a result, his girlfriend, who was sitting opposite him, followed his gaze and looked over.
When I saw those three beautiful women, I finally understood what was going on.
She reached out and pinched the boy's ear.
"Ouch!" the boy cried out in pain.
The shrimp shells I had peeled flew from between my fingers into the oil dish, splattering garlic paste all over me.
……
Soon, the copper pot was brought out, with the red oil broth bubbling and boiling inside.
The aroma of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns wafted into my nose along with the steam.
Wu Xiaoxun was the first to stand up, rolled up her sleeves, picked up the serving chopsticks, took a few slices of beef, and put them in the strainer to blanch them in the pot for about ten seconds.
She placed the cooked beef slices into a clean small bowl.
Then, he picked up the small bowl, walked around the table, and went to Lin Bei's side.
Wu Xiaoxun placed the small bowl in front of Lin Bei, bent down and whispered in his ear with a smile, "Brother Lin Bei, try this first."
"If you cook this beef slices for too long, it will become tough."
"Thank you." Lin Bei picked up a slice of fatty beef, dipped it in the oil sauce, and chewed it.
Seeing this, Song Qingning also picked up the serving chopsticks, scooped up a piece of tripe, and swished it around in the pot.
Then he stood up and placed the cooked tripe across the table into the small bowl in front of Lin Bei.
"Thank you." Lin Bei also said thank you and began to eat.
Seeing Lin Bei eat tripe, Song Qingning looked at Wu Xiaoxun across the table, only to find that the other party was completely ignoring her, which made her so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Su Qianqian was quietly eating the chrysanthemum greens in front of her.
Seeing Song Qingning and Wu Xiaoxun piling food into Lin Bei's bowl like in a relay race, he felt it wouldn't be right for him not to do the same since they had already done so.
After all, Lin Bei paid for this meal.
Su Qianqian pondered for a moment, put down her chopsticks, picked up the serving spoon next to her, scooped a spoonful of winter melon slices from the pot, and put them into Lin Bei's bowl.
"Eat more vegetables."
Lin Bei looked down at the bowl and suddenly noticed a spoonful of winter melon slices. His lips twitched.
My dear young lady
Why are you getting involved at a time like this?
