Chapter 7: Drinking

The big plate chicken still needs to be cooked for a while, this portion of cucumber slices is for you to enjoy! Crisp and refreshing!

Sun Quan slightly nodded, downed the beer in his cup in one go, and then picked up the beer opener to open another bottle of ice-cold beer

When placing down the dishes, Kuang Longfei wore a beaming smile

Sun Quanhao looked up at her with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "No need, no need! Senior, you are too polite, I can drive myself!"

It would be surprising if a store did not succeed with such a girlfriend by your side

As for his senior's girlfriend, she was still sitting at the bar like at noon. At this moment, she glanced at Sun Quan and gave a lukewarm smile before lowering her head again

I can only mourn silently for Kuang Longfei in my heart

There is a bottle opener on the table, and he casually picked it up to open a bottle for himself

Kuang Longfei pulled a pair of chopsticks from the holder on the table to pick up some food as he replied, "I am not very clear on the exact number of people who have stayed here, but as far as I know, there are still about four or five left! We are all culinary students, and this city is a tourist destination with many restaurants of all sizes, making it easy to find work here. As far as I know, those few are currently working as chefs! How about it? Are you looking for an opportunity to gather with everyone?"

Then feel free

Sun Quan nodded slightly, walked over to the beverage display cabinet, and took two bottles of ice-cold beer

Not long after, Kuang Longfei brought him a plate of freshly cooked scrambled eggs with chives and a plate of cucumber slices

When Sun Quan came out of Kuang Longfei's shop, he was already somewhat tipsy. He could no longer ride his bicycle, so he simply pushed the bike as he walked home

The two people chatted while eating, and before they knew it, they had consumed one bottle of beer after another

Tang Tang finished speaking and then turned around to return to the bar

As he passed by a lotus pond, Sun Quan stopped his bicycle by the roadside, sat on the stone railing by the pond, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to call home. Returning to 2006, he ultimately still wanted to hear his parents' voices

Opening the door to do business, this senior's service attitude is surprisingly cold, how can this business possibly thrive? I thought we were still in university, where if you are beautiful, everyone would pamper you

The campus under the night sky is quite tranquil, as it is currently summer vacation

The senior sister Tang Tang in the bar frowned slightly and rolled her eyes a little.

Sun Quan was not interested in discussing this topic further, casually dismissing it with a few words. He brought the half-opened bottle of beer in front of Kuang Longfei and said, "Here! Class monitor, don't ask anything else. If you're not busy right now, let's have a couple of drinks together! By the way, are you and the senior sister the only ones working in this place? Why haven't I seen any waitstaff? Are you personally serving the dishes as the owner?"

It seems that there are no vegetables to cook for the time being. Kuang Longfei simply pulled out the chair opposite Sun Quan, sat down with a thud, and, filled with curiosity, asked: "You brought up the breakup? What is the reason for that?"

In the night, under the influence of alcohol, he walked slowly along the familiar path of his alma mater, and he couldn't help but recall many people and events from his university days. Looking back now, he realized that the most carefree and happiest time in his more than thirty years of life was indeed those three years in university

Yes!

His university lasts only three years

When the dishes were served, Kuang Longfei looked at Sun Quan with a hint of curiosity, "You ordered so many dishes, are you going to eat them all by yourself? Where is your girlfriend? She hasn't finished work yet, has she?"

There is no feeling left, why keep it if it is not distinguished

... ...

Hello? A Quan? What is the matter that you called back?

Divided?

While pouring himself a drink, he shifted the topic again, "Class monitor, do you know how many classmates are still in this city? You are the class monitor, you should know, right?"

At this moment, Kuang Longfei's girlfriend Tang Tang in the bar finally got up to bring him a set of chopsticks and a glass wine cup

Sun Quan poured himself a drink and enjoyed his meal with wine and dishes

Because he studied at a vocational college for two and a half years and completed an internship for six months, the total time amounts to three years

As he passed through the gate of his alma mater, M University, he suddenly felt the urge to go in for a stroll, so he pushed his cart through the gate

Kwang Longfei : `` ... ... ''

Kuang Longfei's expression was slightly helpless as he picked up the wine bottle with a bitter smile. While clinking glasses with Sun Quan, he sighed, "Originally, I had hired a waiter, along with a side dish and a kitchen assistant, but... you can see the business in my shop. With such business, I can't afford to pay the staff's wages! I had no choice but to let them go, sigh! It's tough to run a business!"

Sun Quan smiled and shook his head, "No! It was I who proposed the breakup!"

Sun Quan glanced at her silhouette twice, feeling somewhat speechless

Why are you calling back when there's nothing going on? The phone bill is so expensive. Alright! Your father and I are both doing well! What could possibly be happening at home? Nothing is going on! How about you? Are you doing well over there? Now that you have graduated from university, are you really not planning to look for a job?

Riding a bicycle to the entrance of Kuang Longfei's Tang Tang Sauerkraut Fish restaurant, Sun Quan parked the bike by the roadside and walked into the establishment

The person who answered the phone was his mother

Such a cold and indifferent attitude towards service

Perhaps upon hearing their conversation, Tang Tang, who was at the bar not far away, glanced at Sun Quan a couple of times

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye; he has not yet had the chance to indulge in madness before graduating

Sun Quandao expressed his gratitude, and Kuang Longfei said, "Then you eat first!" before turning back to the kitchen

Divided!

Upon seeing Sun Quan enter, Kuang Longfei immediately broke into a smile, "Sun Quan! You’re here! What do you want to eat tonight?"

When she brought the utensils to Sun Quan's table, she finally spoke to him, but her tone remained indifferent, "Do you want me to help you open a beer?"

At the final checkout, Kuang Longfei wanted to waive the cost of a few bottles of beer. Sun Quan noticed that his senior's girlfriend looked displeased, so he made a joke to politely decline Kuang Longfei's kind offer and insisted on paying for the drinks.

After another ten minutes or so, Kuang Longfei brought the large plate of chicken he had ordered to the table

Sun Quan casually replied, having no intention of concealing anything

A serving of stir-fried eggs with garlic chives, plus a serving of large plate chicken

Kuang Longfei was a bit surprised, but his smile became even brighter. He casually placed the shredded potatoes with green peppers on the table and gave Sun Quan an OK gesture, saying, "No problem! I'll go make it for you right now! Feel free to sit down! Take whatever you want to drink! We can settle the bill together later!"

Mom! It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask how things have been at home lately. Are you and Dad in good health?

His mother is a genuine rural woman, speaking with the local dialect of her hometown

At this moment, in the lobby downstairs, there was only a young couple dining with a little girl. As Sun Quan entered, Kuang Longfei, dressed in a white chef's uniform, was just coming out of the kitchen carrying a plate of stir-fried green peppers and shredded potatoes to serve to that table of guests

Of course, this woman is not his girlfriend, and he is too lazy to talk about her; anyway, he is just here to treat the meal for the sake of Kuang Longfei's reputation

At this moment, the lights have just begun to shine, and since it is currently the summer vacation period, there are few pedestrians on the street

Because he plans to drink some beer tonight, Sun Quan ordered an additional dish

Kuang Longfei was taken aback, "Why? Isn't your girlfriend quite good? Did she break up with you?"

There is not much to say about the wine, but the dishes! Kuang Longfei's culinary skills are passable, but just passable; there are no highlights, nothing particularly delicious, nor anything particularly unappetizing.
