Mixed in 1980

Chapter 12: Full of Routine
Old house sparrow!
Xu Jinqiu suddenly thought of this word. The boy in front of her was just like that. He had so many tricks in his mind that he could hold a lot of them. It was what people in Beijing often say: a Beijing oiler or a Wei mouth.

He is very slippery and eloquent. He is from Beijing and went to Tianjin for further studies.

But not so annoying.

After eating the three kinds of stewed meat, it is only right to return the favor. Xu Jinqiu thought for a while and put forward a condition: "I can treat you to a meal, but I can't send you back in the future."

"Then let's walk."

The three of them walked towards the entrance of the alley together. There was a restaurant at the corner.

The shop is not big, with only eight tables.

There are small wooden signs hanging on the wall, each with the name of a dish written on it.

There was also a sign on the side that read: It is prohibited to beat customers without reason.

It is truly impressive that the service industry has achieved this!
Chen Fan didn't even ask the two girls' opinions. He quickly ordered three dishes and a soup, asked for three bowls of rice, and paid the bill directly with the money and ticket.

Meat coupons were abolished in the capital, but food was still rationed, and if you ordered staple food, you had to get food coupons.

"Hey, didn't I say it's my treat?"

Xu Jinqiu was annoyed. He came here today to pay back a debt, but he hasn't paid it back yet and he owes another one.

"I forgot. You can treat me next time."

Chen Fan motioned the two girls to sit down, and quickly changed the subject: "Also, my name is not Hello, my last name is Chen, Chen Fan, what is this comrade's name?"

"Zhao Yuanyuan."

Stopping Xu Jinqiu who wanted to speak, Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Chen Fan jokingly: "Comrade Chen Fan, are you always so direct when pursuing girls?"

"Directly?"

Chen Fan pretended to be surprised and joked, "Uncle Ma also said that I was beating around the bush and that if I met someone I liked, I would immediately find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

Xu Jinqiu stared at him and blushed.

I also find it funny. From childhood to adulthood, there have been many boys pursuing me, but the one in front of me is the most different. He is not unique, but extremely alternative.

This Wei Zuizi is not ambiguous at all.

After realizing what was happening, Xu Jinqiu, with his years of experience in rejecting people, did not shush him, but teased, "Let me ask you something. Have we met before?"

"I passed by Courtyard 45 and saw you."

"So you're just attracted by her beauty?"

"A good love begins with appearance, falls in love with talent, and lasts for three values."

"..."

Xu Jinqiu gritted her teeth secretly. This Wei was such a good talker. She couldn't help but complain, "Does your family own a tailor shop? Why do you have so many different suits?"

"Did that trap you?"

"Are you always so poor?" Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes at him.

"Poverty is an attitude. If you don't have some fun when you go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, you won't be able to survive. Have you two ever been to the countryside?" Chen Fan found a topic.

“I just came back from Dali last year!”

"Dali is a great place. Milk is made into fans and sold. Rice cakes are called bait cakes. Flowers bloom all year round, and there are delicious vegetables all year round."

"Have you been there?" Xu Jinqiu asked in surprise.

"No, I read about it in books. I will definitely go to the ancient city of Dali and Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake if I have the chance. I'd like you to be my tour guide then."

"What a ghost!"

Xu Jinqiu was about to nod when she realized in time that this guy had so many tricks.

Chen Fan didn't take it seriously and said to himself, "Isn't there a saying in Dali that a fortune is not as good as rice soaked in fish soup?"

"The people of Dali are guarding the Erhai Lake, and they are really good at cooking fish, especially the hot and sour fish. The fish soup with rice refers to the hot and sour fish. When we were in the queue, we could occasionally eat it."

"I have to try it if I have a chance. I can eat the baba from Xizhou, the wine from Heqing, and the Xiangyun clay pot to my heart's content. I have to say it's very relaxing."

"You're a cook, right? You just want to eat."

Xu Jinqiu smiled, and couldn't help but think of the note sent three days ago. It was all about food. If this person is not a chef, then he is a foodie.

"Do I look like a cook? I just like studying food."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and opened the lunch box he prepared today: "Today I made crispy chicken legs. Try it, it definitely tastes good."

Xu Jinqiu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up: "Yuanyuan, you should try it too. It's really delicious. How is this thing made?"

Chen Fan followed the topic and introduced the method. Xu Jinqiu was very interested, but Zhao Yuanyuan wanted to cover her face. This best friend was really not smart.

Have you forgotten why you came here?
Why are we still chatting?

Having said that, this crispy chicken leg is really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it retains the original flavor of the chicken. It tastes better than several dishes in the restaurant.

It's just that Chen Fan is too good at talking.

No matter what the topic is, he can talk about it. Even if there is no topic, he can always find one. During the whole meal, there was never a dull moment.

Wei Zuizi, its name is well-deserved.

The meal was over and it was time to leave. Xu Jinqiu came out with a smile on her face.

"We're back to work."

After saying goodbye, Xu Jinqiu took her best friend back home. When they reached the door, the security guard suddenly called her, "Comrade Xu, you're back. How was your blind date today?"

Xu Jinqiu was stunned. Who was going on a blind date?

"Uncle, we are just having a meal, not a blind date, please don't say anything nonsense."

“Young people are still shy.”

Uncle Ma smiled and said jokingly, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is a good thing. Chen Fan is not bad. He is also a writer."

"He is a writer?" Xu Jinqiu asked in surprise.

"Didn't he say that? The young man is amazing. His novel has even been published in People's Literature. The title of the book is The Most Beautiful Youth. You can take a look at it later."

"I'll go buy one."

Xu Jinqiu was really curious. How could that poor man be a writer? He didn't even mention it during the meal. What did that mean?
After contact, you suddenly look down on yourself?
With strange thoughts in mind, Xu Jinqiu went to the newsstand and bought a copy of People's Literature.

I glanced at the newsstand and found that several newspapers had the title "The Most Beautiful Youth", which didn't look like a good thing.

Xu Jinqiu was a little curious and bought a few more copies.

When Xu Jinqiu returned to the dance troupe, it was already time to go to work. She put the books and newspapers aside and waited until the end of get off work before taking them out to read.

The content in the newspaper is indeed not good.

He was just short of pointing at my nose and scolding me.

She was a little worried that Chen Fan would faint from anger after seeing these things.

"Chen Fan, Chen Fan!"

As soon as the Chen family's dinner was served, Zhang Jianjun rushed in with a few newspapers: "Chen Fan, this is bad, several newspapers are scolding you."

As he said this, he slammed the newspaper on the table and said, "Look, these people are simply making up stories and talking nonsense to throw dirty water on you."

Hearing this, the Chen family became worried.

Zhang Jianjun added: "I have heard that if a book is too controversial, the magazine will remove it from the shelves. You must pay attention to it."

"Really? Let me take a look."

Chen Fan hadn't run into Zhang Jianjun in these days, but he didn't expect this guy to show up at his doorstep.

Chen Fan took the newspaper and read the title, and he knew what it was about: "Are you all so impatient? I must thank them later."

"No, what are you thinking? If they continue to scold like this, People's Literature might really take your novel off the shelves," Zhang Jianjun reminded.

"No, these people are trying to make me famous. Even though they are all cursing me, the more they curse me, the more people will know my books. This is what they call becoming famous by going from being a blackguard to being a villain."

Chen Fan put the newspaper down with a smile and said jokingly, "I will go to the magazine in a few days. Now that my reputation has increased, I have to ask them to increase my royalties."

"Is it possible?" Zhang Jianjun was stunned.

"Of course. There will be topics only when there is controversy. The more controversies there are, the higher the popularity will be. I have to take this opportunity to get more benefits." Chen Fan said.

"As long as you have an idea, I'll go back first."

Zhang Jianjun smiled, turned around and walked out, his expression changed immediately. He muttered to himself, could it be true as Chen Fan said, that I can get a raise for my royalties even if I get scolded?
If that's really the case, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?

Instead, he helped him?
"No, Chen Fan is a man who cares too much about his reputation. He must be bluffing. This is just the beginning. There will be more writers of scar literature who will come forward."

After muttering a few words, Zhang Jianjun walked back and went to his neighbor's house.

My neighbor Aunt Wang is a well-known loudmouth in the alley. If you tell her what happened in the newspaper, the whole alley will know about it the next day.

He is willing to do anything to make things difficult for Chen Fan.
