Chapter 392

"OK." different from Yan Kuan's joking tone, Xu Nian looked serious. "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

"Sister-in-law really wants to invite me to dinner?" Yan Kuan opened his eyes in surprise. It seems that he didn't expect Xu Nian to promise himself so happily for a while. The joy of his eyes has caught the tip of his eyebrows. "Can I order anything?"

"HMM. you were responsible for what happened just now, otherwise I would have come for nothing today. Just order what you want to eat. Don't worry, I'll take my card."

"Well, I just want to eat Japanese food, and my sister-in-law's meal today depends on you." Xu is in a good mood, and Yan Kuan's voice has become more forthright. He has less warmth on weekdays, and more crisp and crisp. Even the gentle smile on his face has changed and added a bit of freshness.

"Let's go."

Xu Nian walked down the steps first, smiled and looked back at Yan Kuan who was still on the steps. "I drove here, so you don't want to be my car, I'll take you."

Noon is the hottest time of the day. Behind us is the blazing sun. As soon as Xu Nian turned around, he turned his back to the direction of the sun. Yan Kuan stood on the steps and looked back at her, but he found that the bright smile on her face was as dazzling as the dazzling golden sun behind her.

Once upon a time, there was such a vibrant smile on Xu nianyi's face?

Yan Kuan stared quietly, narrowed his eyes slightly, endured the dazzling sunshine and stared at Xu nianyi's smiling face. His bright brown eyes became dim at the moment.

"Aren't you hungry?" Xu Nian joked with a smile, "or do you think of anything else delicious?"

"Yes."

This time, Yan Kuan, who was standing on the steps, nodded and walked down the steps, "I suddenly remembered that someone introduced me to a small alley in the 1980s on Yong'an Road. There was a snack bar in the alley that had been open for more than ten years. The store was small, but the food was very authentic. Many people went to eat. I haven't been to xiahai for so long. I want to have a try. What do you think?"

"OK, it's good to try some special snacks." Xu nianyi nodded happily.

When she got on the bus, Xu nianyi wanted to drive. As a result, Yan Kuan pushed her to the back seat when she got on the bus, while he sat directly in the driver's seat and acted as a driver.

After driving a few blocks, the car came to the place.

Sure enough, it was an alley in the 1980s. The alley was so narrow that only one car could drive in alone. However, after the car drove in, it was a problem for pedestrians to pass by.

Yan Kuan found a parking lot nearby, stopped the car, and then led Xu nianyi into the alley.

Yifeng is a small man. He will be tired after walking a few steps. He simply holds Xu Nian in his arms all the time.

But after getting off the bus, Yan Kuan stopped without taking a few steps. He fixed his body and looked at the Yifeng in her arms. He whispered, "sister-in-law, let me hold Yifeng. I don't know if the store is in the innermost part of the alley. I'm afraid your arm will be sour if you hold it too long."

"..." Xu nianyi was hesitating. Xiao Yifeng in his arms had opened his arms to Yan Kuan, "little uncle!"

"Come on." Yan Kuan bent his mouth and smiled and took Yifeng into his arms.

There was no weight in his arms. It was really a lot easier. Xu nianyi looked at Yan Kuan gratefully, "thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm an uncle and I should hug my nephew." Yan Kuan took the lead in walking to the alley with Yifeng in his arms.

Xu Nian followed and walked into the old shady alley.

It's still a hot summer day. The sun is high outside and the sun is hot. But the alley is cool and humid. The ground under your feet is not cement, but an old-fashioned road paved with a small piece of green brick. There are gray walls on both sides of the alley, and every family has old-fashioned black wooden doors. Occasionally, there are several families with two pots of jasmine flowers at the door, emitting white jasmine It has a strong fragrance.

He followed Yan Kuan to the innermost part of the alley before stopping in front of a wooden door. On the black wooden door, there were two gold door rings in the shape of an old and simple lion. On the door, there was a plaque with three big characters on a black background and gold paint - food is heaven.

The wooden door is now wide and round. Standing outside the door and looking in, there is a clean small yard with a stone water tank on both sides of the yard, which is planted with pink lotus.

Looking inside, there were only a few eight immortals tables under the porch. There were no waiters in overalls around. Only a few diners sat in the west corner and enjoyed the delicious meal on the table.

"This shop is really unique. Xiahai still has such a small place." Xu Nian sighed to himself. I didn't expect that there would be such a quiet and simple place in this bustling metropolis.

Just didn't wait for Xu to read this sentence, but Yan Kuan followed the interface, "I heard that the snacks made by their family are also authentic. I'm here for the first time today. It's really different from what I imagined."

While they were talking, a woman in a broken flower light green dress came over. Seeing that they were strangers, she took the initiative to ask them to sit down, made a pot of rose tea and put it on the table, and then took out the menu.

Xu Nian looked at the names of the dishes on the menu. It was easy to understand, but most of the menu were spicy food. Thinking that Yifeng had asthma and couldn't eat spicy food, he only ordered a fried spring roll and a wine stuffed dumpling.

Yan Kuan was unrestrained and ordered spicy pot, hand shredded pepper chicken and spicy jelly.

When the dishes come up, each dish is full. There are quite a lot of dishes. The dishes are ordinary. They are not as exquisite as the hotel, but they are abundant.

Xu nianyi picked up his chopsticks and tasted a deep fried spring roll. It was really exquisite. It was crisp in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste. The bean paste inside was soft, tender and delicious. It was very suitable for children.

Yifeng was very happy eating fried spring rolls with jiunianyuanzi in his arms. After eating a few mouthfuls, Xu Nian saw Yan Kuandian's dishes brought up. The color of the spicy pot was red and attractive, and the color matching inside was also very clear. Spicy jelly is filled in a white ceramic bowl. A small piece of red pepper is sprinkled on the jelly as an ornament. The glittering white jelly with red millet pepper complements each other like snow and red plum.

Yan Kuan didn't persuade her to try. He was happy with a mouthful of flower tea and a mouthful of jelly chicken.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Nian also felt that there was a flood of saliva in his mouth. He couldn't help picking up a piece of jelly with chopsticks and tasting it. He couldn't stop chopsticks and ate these spicy dishes.

When she got to the back, she couldn't stop her chopsticks, but she couldn't be spicy. In the end, she hadn't eaten such heavy food before. Before a meal, her hot cheeks turned red, her head was sweating, sweat seeped from her temples and forehead, and even her lips were red and swollen.

She wanted to drink a mouthful of rose tea to relieve the spicy, but she didn't know that this mouthful went on. Originally, rose tea with the right temperature was drunk. At this time, because she ate pepper, she drank it like boiled water. More spicy, she couldn't speak. She wanted to spit out and was embarrassed, so she had to cover her mouth and swallow it hard.

"Don't drink like this, it will be more spicy."

Seeing Xu nianyi's funny appearance, Yan Kuan couldn't help laughing, but his eyes were concerned. The eyes in the brown pupils were as gentle as water, and the eyes that fell on Xu nianyi never left. He took out a wet towel from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead. At the same time, he turned around and ordered the clerk in the store to bring a pot of iced plum soup.

Xu Nian's hot eyes turned red unconsciously. His mouth was hot as if it had been burned. Covering his mouth with his hand, he felt hot and difficult. He had to raise his scallion hand and keep fanning himself.

Because his mouth was full of spicy flavor, he couldn't care to speak. He waited until the sweat on his forehead was wiped away by Yan Kuan. Xu nianyi reacted slightly and stared at Yan Kuan who was still cleaning his temples.

"You should rarely eat spicy food. Don't eat it so quickly for the first time, and you can't drink hot water. You'll be much more comfortable drinking sour plum soup." Yan Kuan seems not to realize what's wrong. He still gently wiped the sweat on her cheeks with a wet towel, and his voice is still soft, but it sounds more friendly than usual.

It's really comfortable to stick a cool wet towel on your cheek, but

His round fingers and gentle movements touched her face, like the intimate and ambiguous touch between lovers.

Although she knew there was nothing wrong with the man in front of her, the situation was too ambiguous.

"I......" Xu Nian opened his mouth. As soon as he sent out a word, he found his mouth hot and unbearable. It was embarrassing. He immediately covered his red and swollen lips with his hands.

"What's the matter?" Yan Kuan's eyes flashed a doubt, and the wiping action stopped for a moment, but soon he recovered his gentle smile, as if he understood something. The hand stopped on her cheek slowly put away, put the wet towel in her hand on the table, smiled and explained, "sorry, sister-in-law, I just saw you look very uncomfortable. I didn't think so much. It's impolite."

"No, it's all right..." Xu Nian's cheeks became more red, his cheeks flew two blushes, lowered his eyes and avoided Yan Kuan's sight.

By this time, the sour plum soup had been delivered.

The sour plum soup with ice cubes, braving the slightest chill, really eased a lot of hot feelings.

I don't know what's going on. Obviously, my mouth is not so hot anymore. Xu nianyi still feels that his face is hot. Maybe the food is cool, and it's not as refreshing and delicious as before.

Yan Kuan didn't say anything else. Occasionally, when she finished drinking the sour plum soup in her quilt, she would pour her a glass pot again.

The next meal was much calmer, but it lacked a bit of taste.

After a meal, Xu nianyi took out his card and wanted to check out. Only then did he find that the food on a table was only 100 yuan. It was affordable. He had just enough change. There was no need to swipe his card at all.

Before leaving, Yan Kuan followed Xu nianyi out of the small courtyard and stood on the stone steps in front of the gate. Yan Kuan said the first sentence after dinner, breaking the silence between the two, "sister-in-law, thank you for inviting me to have this meal. I'm very happy."

"Needless to say, thank you. I'm just paying you back. Besides, I haven't met you officially since I came back for so long. I've seen you a few times before. I haven't said a few words. This is a formal meeting." Xu nianyi quickly raised a smile to ease the embarrassment that haunted them just now.

Yan Kuan didn't answer. He just nodded gently. After a short silence, he bent his thin lips and said with a smile: "sister-in-law, I'm going back to the company. Take Yifeng home and have a rest."

"OK, I'll see you off." Xu Nian picked up Yifeng and was about to go down the steps, but he heard Yan Kuan continue, "don't be so troublesome. I just sent a message to my assistant, and she will come to pick me up right away."

"Well, I'll go first." Xu Nian nodded, smiled at Yan Kuan, then walked down the steps with Yifeng and left the quiet alley.

After Xu nianyi completely walked out of the alley, Xie Ying appeared at the door of the yard.

"Young master, do you want to go back to the company now?" Xie yingshou has been at the door for a long time, respectfully looking at Yan Kuan who is still standing on the stone steps.

"No, drive to Wenqian's branch. I have something to talk about."
