MTL - Approach-Chapter 21

Wen Ting is a true northerner who loves pasta, so she and Zhexi met at a soup and noodle shop. The shop has dumplings, fried dumplings, wontons, meatballs, handmade noodles and other things...

The inside of the store is decorated with wood, and the tables, chairs and stools, including the interior furnishings, are basically made of wood materials, which looks very old. Its location is a bit remote, in a deep alley, so it’s hard to find if you don’t look carefully, but the reputation should be very good, and it’s almost full before lunchtime.

It was still early for the two of them, and they could pick and choose seats, but the people who came later basically had to pack and take away.

"When did you know about this restaurant?" Zhexi had just finished ordering. Each person got a bowl of small wontons and each person a fried dumpling. Zhexi also ordered an extra serving of meatball soup for herself...

"I've known it since I came here to go to college." Talking about her college time, she had a nostalgic and reluctant smile on her face, "I have a roommate who is a local. When our freshman military training ended, she invited Everyone in our dormitory came here to eat... the smell and the scene, I feel that I will never forget it for the rest of my life... Now I will come here by myself when I have time, but... without them..." After graduating from university, everyone is in a different place Each is busy and rarely has the opportunity to get together....

Zhexi felt a hint of melancholy at the end of her words, and changed the subject thoughtfully: "How is work now? Are you still getting used to it?" She hasn't graduated from college for long, so she probably hasn't become a regular yet.

"Very good," said Wen Ting with a hint of warmth on her face, "I met a very nice person in the company..."

"Um?"

Wen Ting held a cup of hot tea in both hands, took a sip, put it down, and smiled slightly: "It's a senior who came to the company a year earlier than me," Wen Ting added some tea to Zhexi's cup as she spoke, "I She wasn't the one who took me with me when I first joined the company, and I just met her and never talked to her... She doesn't seem to like to talk..."

"and after?"

"The person who took me was on maternity leave, so now I follow Senior Su."

"Senior Su?" Zhexi's eyelids twitched.

"Yes, her surname is Su," Wen Ting said with curved eyebrows, "and she is very good-looking, even more beautiful than the department flower of our previous university..."

Hearing that the person's surname was Su and she was good-looking, Zhexi's sensitive little nerves dialed forward again: "You said just now that she doesn't like to talk?"

Wen Ting recalled the details of getting along with her and always seeing her alone in the company, and thought about it: "She is a bit cold-tempered, maybe she doesn't like to socialize...but she is very nice and has helped me several times..."

"What's her name?" With that guess in my heart, my heart beat faster with the anticipation in my heart...

"Su Mochen..."

"Ahem..." Zhexi originally wanted to take a sip of hot tea to soothe her emotions, but she didn't expect that as soon as the name landed, she was choked...

"Are you okay?" Wen Ting quickly took out a few pieces of paper from the tissue box and handed them to her, with a worried expression on her face.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhexi coughed and blushed... She took the tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth...

While talking, the noodle soup is also ready.

The waiter came over with two bowls of wontons, two fried dumplings, and one meatball, and placed them one by one on the wooden table.

After Zhexi slowed down, he adjusted his breath again...

At this moment, Wen Ting suddenly smiled, pursing her lips and snickering, that kind of restrained smile...

"?" Zhexi looked up at her.

"I'm not laughing at you," Wen Ting explained in a low voice, "I was wondering how she would react if Senior Su was sitting across from you today..."

"Probably push the tissue box to me with a calm face..."

"Yes, I just thought of this..." Wen Ting smiled less shyly this time...

Zhexi was blushed by her smile, and muttered vaguely: "Hurry up and eat."

Fried dumplings and wontons are the signatures of this store. People who come to this store will order these two things every time...

The fried dumplings are crispy yellow, burnt on the outside, tender on the inside, bite into it, crispy and juicy... This wonton is made even more authentic. First, the soup is specially made from big bones and boiled for more than three hours, followed by This wonton stuffing is made of fat and thin, tender and delicious hind legs, and then paired with the exclusive secret recipe passed down in the store... The taste buds on the tip of the tongue are extremely satisfied, and the aftertaste is endless... Even if this is not the signature meatball They are all made better than others, the meat is firm and chewy, and the mouth is full of fragrance...

Zhexi tasted a few mouthfuls, then stopped chopsticks...

"What's wrong?" Wen Ting looked at her suspiciously.

Zhexi got up, pointed to the front, and said in a low voice, "I'll pack a copy and take it away." This kind of wonton is not easy to carry. After a long time, it tends to soften and affect the taste, but this fried dumpling can... Zhexi thought What I want is to pack a fried dumpling for her to taste first, and then bring her over to eat wontons when I have time...

There are a lot of people, even if there are no seats in the store, there are still many people waiting to take away. Zhexi lined up for a long time...

She lowered her head and sent a text message to Su Mochen while queuing up: Don't order takeout at noon, I happen to be outside, and there is a restaurant that has good fried dumplings, I'll bring you one back.

A few minutes later, there was a reply from over there: ah.

Zhexi originally planned to take one back home, but after waiting in line for so long, it was a pity to only bring one (one was only six), so he packed two...

"Isn't it delicious?" As soon as Zhexi sat down, Wen Ting looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Yes, so I packed two fried dumplings."

Wen Ting smiled happily.

The queue was delayed for a while, and now the noodle soup is not so hot, and the two of them took advantage of the delicious taste to enjoy the food...

After dinner, Zhexi drove Wen Ting back.

"I'm very happy today, thank you." Wen Ting said goodbye to her politely.

"Wait a minute," Zhexi opened the car door and got out, "Is your mobile phone number your WeChat ID? Let's add friends?"

Wen Ting paused first, then smiled and nodded.

After Wen Ting turned and left, Zhexi sat in the car and clicked on Wen Ting's circle of friends. After browsing, her fingertips stayed on a previous dynamic message of Wen Ting, which said: I recently met a very nice person. people…

The corners of Zhexi's lips curved slightly, and he murmured: Senior Su...
