Chapter 18 Chapter 18

What Lin Qingyue took Liu Qingyuan to was a niche health hot pot restaurant.

The location of the store is deep in the intricate ancient alleys. If you are not very familiar with it, you will always get lost there.There is no tall signboard, only a wooden signboard standing at the door, like the small stalls that can be seen everywhere in the night market.

Pushing open the old wooden door, the simplicity inside gave Liu Qingyuan a cordial feeling.

There are no beautiful decorations, everything inside reveals a simplicity close to nature.Simply polished wooden long tables, hand-woven bamboo chairs, and huge cross-stitch hanging on the wall.This small shop is like a little bit of the most primitive white, quietly sandwiched in the bustling city, without being polluted or obvious.

The round wax filled with a faint fragrance burns quietly in the glass, giving people the quietest warmth.The cloth curtain printed with huge brush characters was pulled open, and two bowls of green tea were brought up. "I don't make an appointment every time I come, I really can't do anything about you." The doting tone came, and Liu Qingyuan raised her head, her eyes just met those of the person serving tea.

It was a woman with a gentle smile in her eyes.She used two bamboo chopsticks to fix her loosely coiled hair. She was wearing a pink Ruqun that met each other, which brought some ethnic customs and also carried the characteristics of Hanfu.The woman is not tall, but she has the dignity and elegance of Jiangnan women in her gestures and gestures.

She put the tea in front of the two of them respectively, and her gaze rested on Liu Qingyuan's body vaguely, which would not be too obvious, nor would it make people feel uncomfortable. "If you bring new friends, do you need to order some new dishes?"

The woman's words seem to have no other meaning, but there is always some allusion.She is still smiling, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, picturesque and poetic.

"It's still the same, there's no need to change it." Lin Qingyue sipped the light green tea with downcast eyes, completely ignoring the other meaning in the woman's words.

She is a regular customer of this store, an acquaintance who has been visiting since the store opened.Su Mengyan came with her.There are no paparazzi to follow, no extra guests to disturb, she likes to enjoy being alone with Su Mengyan here.Perhaps, only when she came here, would she forget the two people's occupations, truly cast aside all scruples, and snuggle up sweetly.

As if expecting Lin Qingyue's answer, the woman smiled lightly, turned and walked into the kitchen.

After a burst of fragrance dissipated, Lin Qingyue looked at the curtain through the light, and said slowly: "Senior sister is very good at making tea. The tea is grown in her own hometown. You can try it."

The faint scent of tea brushed her nostrils, Liu Qingyuan held the tea bowl with both hands, with a trace of piety, she closed her eyes and savored carefully: "The taste of tea is fresh, although it is light, it is still sweet." She opened her eyes, looking at the bottom of the bowl Stop for a while: "This tea is very particular about the quantity. One more leaf will lose the elegance, and one less leaf will lose the taste of the tea, just like drinking white water. When making tea, washing it more or less will affect the taste of the tea. You, senior sister, really know how to drink tea and make tea."

"You're not bad." A woman's voice came, and she came out with a small hot pot stand for two or three people, with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze on her face: "Among the guests here, you are the first A girl who knows so much about drinking tea. Qingyue, why don't you introduce me? Such an interesting girl, I really want to get to know her!"

"Liu Qingyuan, my newly signed artist." Lin Qingyue said.

"Qing Yuan, you really live up to your name." The woman raised her hand and gently stroked Liu Qingyuan's hair, with a smile on her face: "Qing Yue told you, I am her senior sister. As for the two of us, we went to the same university in college, and I compared her She is a freshman, so of course she is her senior sister. You can also call me senior sister, or you can call me by my first name, I don’t mind! My name is Yan Ruyu, from Suzhou. Where is Qing Yuan? Woolen cloth?"

"Ah!" Liu Qingyuan let out a pleasant cry, realizing her gaffe, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and carefully paid attention to the expression on Lin Qingyue's face.Seeing that she didn't think it was strange, she raised her head again: "My sister's name is so unique, but there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu's same name in the book?" Liu Qingyuan was even more happy when she got the other party's nod of approval: " That’s true! Sister is as she sounds, we are really destined. You are born in Suzhou, and I belong to Suzhou!”

There was a faint pain in her toes, Liu Qingyuan raised her head subconsciously, just in time to meet Lin Qingyue's cold face.Oops!Only then did Liu Qingyuan realize that because she was too excited, she ignored her speaking habits.She regretted her overly eager reaction and wanted to make amends, but she didn't know how to say it properly.

Fortunately, the other party didn't mind her strange way of speaking too much, she only thought that she liked ancient things very much, and didn't think too far.Indeed, how many people will deliberately draw a person closer to time-traveling or ancient people because of the way he speaks?It's just that weirdness does exist, and it's a mouthful.

"So it's a fellow villager." Yan Ruyu smiled, occasionally met Lin Qingyue's gaze, and blinked at her, most likely out of tender pampering.

Without giving Liu Qingyuan another chance to speak, Lin Qingyue coughed lightly, and said expressionlessly, "I'm hungry." He signaled Yan Ruyu not to chat, and to prepare food quickly.

"It will be fine soon." Yan Ruyu tilted her head and smiled, she seemed to be smiling all the time, her eyes were bent into a crescent moon, she was as beautiful as the gentle and beautiful woman in the book, she would never be sad, never have sex.

Yan Ruyu went back to the kitchen and was busy at a leisurely pace.

The candles on the table were burning quietly, and the fragrance gradually diffused around the table, leaving behind a faint smell of wax.Lin Qingyue pushed the unlit hot pot holder into the middle of the dining table.She looked at Liu Qingyuan, her eyes were so deep that she couldn't see any emotion. "Take your time, it doesn't matter." She said softly, without any accusations.

"I see."

After nearly half an hour of busy work, Yan Ruyu brought out the steaming casserole.She put the casserole on the hot pot stand, and lit the alcohol block below, letting the slow fire slowly boil the casserole full of food.

It is said to be health-preserving hot pot, but it is actually closer to Japanese sukiyaki.The soup is a rich bone broth that Yan Ruyu spent a long time cooking, and some nourishing Chinese medicines are added in it.There is no greasy taste, only the strong fragrance of bones and the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.The easy-to-cook vegetables are evenly stacked on the bottom of the casserole, and the middle is the thick and firm shellfish, wrapped with sea prawns with the shrimp lines removed, the taste is full and delicious.There is a thin layer of snowflake beef on top, which is delicious and not greasy.

Two plates of exquisite cold dishes were brought over after the health pot: one plate of blueberry yam, and the other plate of cold fungus.

"Meet new friends today, I'll add a dish for you." Yan Ruyu placed a plate of stir-fried vegetables in front of Liu Qingyuan.I can't tell what kind of dish it is, but it looks very delicate. It doesn't look like the must-thicken rice in restaurants. It looks very appetizing and refreshing.

She sat down beside Lin Qingyue, holding a pastry wrapped in butter paper in her hand. "Mung bean cake, I thought you would come over some time ago, and I kept it for you. Fortunately, it's not bad. Remember to take it back and eat it."

"Okay." Lin Qingyue rarely accepts other people's things, Yan Ruyu is an exception.After taking the mung bean cake, Lin Qingyue put it on hand, took another bite of stir-fried vegetables and sent it to Liu Qingyuan's plate: "Taste senior sister's cooking." As she said this, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"You are so kind to artists." Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, her eyes were always a little envious: "Why don't I debut, how about being your artist?" She was clearly just joking, but she said it very seriously.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, or it was just Lin Qingyue's own psychological effect. "Senior Sister, if you want to come back, there must be better managers vying to take you. As for me, I am not qualified enough." Her expression was serious, and she recalled the year with admiration: "Qingyuan, I hope you I can have the brilliance of my senior sister at that time. In the future, if there is anything you don’t understand about acting, you can ask her for advice.”

Yes.

If time goes back to five years ago, the name Yan Ruyu must be a household name.No one does not know her, no one does not know her.She is the queen of songs, queen of movies, and queen of ratings.Her brilliance is unparalleled, and no one has broken the box office miracle she created so far.Even the current Su Mengyan can't compare with her.

However, Yan Ruyu did not choose to continue her glory after all. She made herself a legend, and then quietly retired to open an inconspicuous shop here.It seems that there are not many customers, but the daily profit is better than how many restaurants are full of customers.Perhaps, this is the uniqueness of Yan Ruyu, as long as it is her, there will be miracles.

Liu Qingyuan didn't speak, she nodded obediently, and looked carefully at the not stunning woman in front of her, as if she didn't understand the "brilliance at that time" that Lin Qingyue said.It was Yan Ruyu who pushed Lin Qingyue lightly, smiled back at Liu Qingyuan, and said, "Of course I don't need someone else to take me. But, if it's Qingyue, I'm willing to come back!"

"If senior sister comes back, she will be a ready-made superstar. But this is not what I want. I want to cultivate a real actress from scratch. Qingyuan is the one I want to cultivate wholeheartedly. Although she is now even ordinary practice Life is not as good as life, but I believe that she will eventually reach the pinnacle created by her senior sister." When she said this, Lin Qingyue's eyes flashed with incomparable persistence, and she looked at Liu Qingyuan like a hopeful girl. Chengfeng's parents believed with all their hearts.

"Okay. If you need me, I will help." Yan Ruyu moved her lips slightly.She was still smiling, not as lost as she imagined, but with eyes full of doting and tenderness in her heart.
