Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 135 Shopping and Eating

In the afternoon, the few of them wandered around the mall for a long time and finally chose a barbecue restaurant.

As soon as you step into the store, you are greeted by the lively atmosphere and the tempting aroma of barbecue.

It seems that when the weather gets cold, people like to eat hot food.

"It smells so good, my stomach is growling just by smelling it." Chen Muyan couldn't help but say out loud.

Lu Youning rarely goes shopping, as she buys most of her clothes online. Now, after a whole morning of shopping, her feet are exhausted.

"Let's find a place to sit down first." Lu Youning said as he looked around the store.

The peak dining time had passed, so they chose a seat by the window.

Lu Youning put the things behind the table and then sat lazily by the window.

Soon, the waiter brought the menu over. Chen Muyan took it, glanced at it, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Just watch over it. I'll eat it all." Lu Youning took a sip of water and answered slowly.

Lin Jiajia also waved her hand, "I don't have any dietary restrictions either."

"Okay, I'll just order," Chen Muyan muttered to herself as she checked off the items. "Two servings of beef belly, two servings of lamb, two servings of pork belly. Also, shrimp, brains, chicken gizzards, lettuce, mushrooms, tofu... and finally, a serving of Peking duck. That's all for now, and we'll order more if it's not enough."

Lu Youning quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. We ordered too much and can't finish it."

Xiao Yun smiled and joked, "I guess Mu Yan is really hungry. It's okay, let's eat first. If we can't finish it, we can pack it up and take it back."

Lin Jiajia rolled her glasses and said expectantly, "This is the first time I've eaten barbecue since I started college. I heard that the portions in the north are huge..."

Lu Youning listened and responded, "That's true. Northern dishes are usually quite generous in portion, so we have to be careful with our food, or there will definitely be a lot left over. But since we're all out together today, we should enjoy the meal to the fullest."

Chen Muyan interrupted: "It's okay, I have a big appetite."

As he was speaking, the waiters had already started serving the dishes.

The baking tray was placed steadily in the middle of the table with a clang, and then plates of carefully prepared dishes were served one after another.

The tender beef belly is red and white, the mutton slices are evenly thick and thin, and all kinds of mushrooms are neatly arranged. Just looking at them will increase your appetite.

Chen Muyan excitedly picked up the tongs, picked up a few slices of beef belly and placed them on the baking tray. In an instant, a "sizzling" sound came from the baking tray, and that sound seemed to be the horn that started this gourmet feast.

The edges of the beef belly slowly curled up, the oozing fat jumped on the baking tray, and the aroma spread, quickly filling the entire corner.

Several people picked up their favorite dishes and put them on the baking tray to grill.

"Wow, this smells so good. I feel like my saliva is watering." Lin Jiajia swallowed and said while staring at the baking tray.

"I'm hungry too." Lu Youning smelled the fragrance and felt even hungrier.

After a while, the meat was grilled, and several people picked up their chopsticks, dipped them in the special sauce, and put them into their mouths.

Lin Jiajia nodded and praised: "Mm, it's really delicious. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with this sauce, it's amazing."

Lu Youning also narrowed her eyes and said, "It's delicious, the meat is very fresh."

Chen Muyan smiled and said, "You don't know how to eat, I will teach you."

As he was speaking, the pork belly on the baking tray was also roasted. The pork belly was roasted with sizzling oil and crispy edges.

Chen Muyan wrapped a piece of pork belly in lettuce leaves, added some garlic slices and green pepper segments, and finally dipped it in sauce and handed it to Lin Jiajia.

Lin Jiajia took the barbecue and took a bite. The aroma of the pork belly, the spiciness of the garlic, and the freshness of the green peppers intertwined together. The garlic in particular was so strong that it hit her nose and was a bit irritating.

Then her expression changed. She endured the discomfort and chewed a few more times. Then her eyes lit up: "Oh, this combination is so wonderful. I have never tried it before. I didn't know that barbecue can be eaten like this."

"There is another way to eat it. You can add pickled vegetables in it, which tastes also very good. Youning can try it." Xiao Yun suggested.

After hearing Xiao Yun's suggestion, Lu Youning smiled and said, "Really? Then I have to give it a try."

She had seen many similar ways of eating on the Internet in her previous life, but she had never eaten the authentic ones, so she decided to try them all today.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, the unique sour and refreshing taste of kimchi spreads on the tip of your tongue, followed by the rich and oily aroma of pork belly.

The sour kimchi neutralizes the fat in the pork belly very well, making it not greasy and very appetizing.

After the meal, everyone was full.

A few of them decided to walk for a while to digest the food before taking a taxi back to school.

They walked slowly along the sidewalk, chatting casually.

Xiao Yun rubbed his bloated stomach and said, "I can't eat like this next time. Otherwise, I don't know how much weight I'll gain this winter."

Lu Youning took her hand and agreed deeply: "Yes, it's better not to overeat. It's bad for your stomach."

Chen Muyan and Lin Jiajia also linked arms and followed slowly behind. "My fault! I didn't expect your fighting ability to be so poor. I shouldn't have ordered so much." Chen Muyan said, and couldn't help but burp again.

At this time, Lu Youning's cell phone rang, and the three of them couldn't help but joke around.

Chen Muyan joked with a smile: "Hey! This is my boyfriend coming to check on me."

Lin Jiajia also echoed: "He must be missing our Youning."

Lu Youning glared at the two of them unhappily, took out her cell phone and saw that it was indeed Ruan Fuxi calling.

Xiao Yun saw the words "Ruan Fuxi" displayed on the screen and urged, "Hurry up and answer the call. Don't keep them waiting anxiously."

Lu Youning coughed lightly and slid the answer button, "Hello~"

Chen Muyan, Lin Jiajia and Xiao Yun came over with wicked smiles on their faces, wanting to eavesdrop on the call.

The girl's soft and gentle voice came, and Ruan Fuxi's mouth curled up slightly, "Well, are you back?"

The deep voice coming through the phone made Lu Youning's heart tingle. She nudged the three people who were approaching, stepped aside and whispered, "Yes, they're on their way."

"What did you buy?"

"I just bought a base shirt and then went shopping until the afternoon. I just came out from eating barbecue." Lu Youning said one thing after another.

"Let me tell you, the barbecue here is quite delicious. Let's go there together next time." Lu Youning's tone became much lighter when talking about barbecue.

A low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Okay, let's go eat together next time."

"Then let's go to the library to study together tonight."

Lu Youning readily agreed, "Okay, what time do you think we'll go?"

"Seven o'clock tonight is okay? I'll pick you up."

"Okay, see you tonight!" Lu Youning said, with the corners of her lips curled up quietly.
