Chapter 78: Jicheng Hotel
Chapter 78 Jicheng Hotel
The two settled at the restaurant for lunch, and Gu Chen sent him home directly after dinner.
"Why are you going?" Before Shen Man sat down, he saw that this person was about to leave.
Gu Chen thought to himself, I can't buy anything without you, so you should stay at home quickly.
But he still said: "Oh, buy some things needed for the house over there. You need to use soil and the like for rebuilding the kang, and you need to find someone."
As soon as Shen Man heard that he couldn't help with these things, he nodded and let him go.
Going by yourself is also in the way, so just stay here.
People in Li's family don't go home for lunch at work and school. Looking at the empty house, she doesn't have much interest.
Taking advantage of no one at home, Shen Man entered the space, wiped his body and changed into clean clothes.
By the way, I washed the dirty clothes and hung them to dry.
I was sweating on the car after sitting for a whole day yesterday, but it’s not easy to take a shower here, so I should clean up quickly while no one is around, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.
After all, it was in someone else's house, so she put the close-fitting clothes in the space after washing, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to hang them outside.
Take it out to dry when you have time, anyway, it will be the same as just after washing.
As for other clothes for changing and washing, there are many in the space, so I am not afraid that it will not be enough to wear.
I'm afraid it will take a long time, the scene is too spectacular when drying...
Yawned, Shen Man lay down on the kang to take a nap.
…
Gu Chen got on the bus directly after coming out of Li's house, first went to the night market to find a few people to work, and then paid all the work and materials.
There are many retired workers here. Those who have nothing to do and want to make money to supplement their families just squat in the night market.
It doesn't mean that the night market is open at night, and it is also open during the day, but there are not as many people as at night.
After all, people at this time still have to go to work during the day, so how can they have time to stroll around and buy things?
After finishing these, Gu Chen changed some tickets and went straight to the department store.
Looking at the dazzling array of ready-made clothes, I asked the salesperson before choosing them.
A white plaid shirt with a light pink background and two pairs of black trousers, both of which were bought according to the size recommended by the salesperson as described by the salesperson.
At this time, everyone’s body shape is about the same, so the recommendation is not too bad. Anyway, I won’t lose weight, and it’s okay to be loose.
Gu Chen went to buy another pair of small black leather shoes, and spent more than a hundred dollars contentedly, before heading back.
It is comfortable to spend money, I never thought I would have this day...
It seems that the saying that there is money to burn pockets is true.
When Shen Man opened his eyes, the sun was already setting outside. Looking at the dim sunlight, he remembered that he was living in someone else's house.
She woke up and went out to have a look.
In the yard, Gu Chen was fiddling with the tools he bought, all of which were packed in a sack.
Seeing her coming out, she said with a smile: "Get up, I bought you new clothes, go and try to see if they fit."
Hearing this, Shen Man suddenly felt speechless.
Speechless dead!
"Didn't you say you don't want to buy it? How did you buy it back?" She said in a very helpless tone.
It's not that she's hypocritical and doesn't want other people's things, but that she really feels that it's silly.
Shen Man is still thinking about buying some fabrics in the future, and finding an old tailor to make them. After all, you can have your own requirements for making clothes.
The ready-made clothes in department stores are not only expensive, but also ugly.
Gu Chen thought she was worried about money, so he said: "It's okay, you can't return anything you bought, let's wear it first."
It's already like this, Shen Man can only try on clothes helplessly. There is nothing to choose about the size, but this light pink plaid shirt is quite gratifying.
Village girl...
The current pink is not the Barbie pink of later generations, but water pink, with a small grid, which looks a bit like bed sheets or curtains.
"It's so pretty!" Gu Chen looked at it happily, thinking that it really looks good in anything.
Hearing this, Shen Man looked back at him, and asked hesitantly, "It's really pretty? Why don't I believe it?"
Black trousers are fine, they can be worn for nothing, but the top is quite satisfactory and the color is not good-looking.
She feels that her ability to accept has become worse, and she said before that she can wear what she has, but how long has it been.
Gu Chen nodded earnestly, "It's really beautiful, if you don't believe me, wait until the old uncle and the others come back at night, you can ask them."
"Come on!" Upon hearing this, Shen Man quickly waved his hands, "I'm not ashamed to ask."
Time passed quickly between the two talking and laughing. Li Jinyuan came back today with Wang Chunying.
The two children behind have also returned home from school, and the time difference between the front and rear feet is not less than five minutes.
"Auntie." Gu Chen called out and asked, "Do you see the new clothes Xiaoman is wearing?"
Shen Man was so embarrassed, she sat there with a forced smile, and she dug out three rooms and one living room under her feet.
My God, really ask!
Wang Chunying noticed it as soon as she entered the door, and said with a smile: "It looks good, Xiaoman is good-looking, and she looks good in everything she wears."
In this sentence, there are three good-looking words that are not stingy with praise.
But Gu Chen didn't seem to see Shen Man's embarrassment, so he gave her a look, as if to say: Look, I just say it looks good, right?
Shen Man: (_) I heard that I thank you...
Because it was agreed yesterday that we were going to eat charcoal hot pot today, so Wang Chunying didn't buy any vegetables, so everyone packed up and went out together.
There are indeed a lot of six people at once, and it is very lively to go out and take the bus.
Came to Chengzhong District, Shen Man passed by here before and saw a charcoal hot pot restaurant.
The name is Jicheng Hotel, with a total of three floors. It looks like a big hotel, very grand.
After entering the room, Li Jinyuan greeted the manager. It seemed that he came here often, and everyone seemed to be acquaintances.
The manager arranged for them a private room on the second floor. Six people could sit without crowding at all. The windows were opened for ventilation. In addition to the smell of food, the room smelled strongly of alcohol.
There are quite a few people sitting in the lobby downstairs, it seems that this restaurant tastes pretty good.
Otherwise, no matter how big the restaurant is, there won’t be many people coming to eat.
Li Jinyuan skillfully ordered several plates of beef and mutton, and then handed the menu to Shen Man.
There are waiters in this private room, as well as in the lobby downstairs. This place is much better than ordinary state-run restaurants, and the service attitude is also good.
Shen Man didn't take the menu, and said, "I can eat anything, there is nothing I don't want to eat, just watch it."
She is indeed not picky eater, as long as it is not particularly unpalatable, she can eat two bites.
Eat more if you like it, and eat less if you don't like it.
Seeing this, Li Jinyuan looked at Gu Chen, "Then you order two dishes for her."
Gu Chen took the menu and glanced at it. He didn't know what to order, so he ordered two plates of meat at random.
My good fellow, I have already ordered six catties of meat before ordering this dish.
That's right, a plate of meat weighs a catty, and things don't come by gram at this time.
The hot pot restaurants of later generations are all top-notch, with a serving of several hundred grams.
Wang Chunying ordered a green vegetable and tofu, and that was all.
The charcoal hot pot at this time is to put a few pieces of charcoal under the copper pot and burn it, and there is no chili at the bottom of the clear soup pot.
Even so, this meal in Jicheng is considered top-notch.
Ask for a monthly pass!
I also want to eat hot pot (﹏)
