Chapter 518 You can use it, but you can’t live without it
In his last life, not long after Xu Youyu finished "Gu Dao Chang Qing", he planned to travel around the country before the new book was released.
Li Luo was invited by her to go on the road together and visited many cities, and Yuzhong City was one of them.
Before this, Li Luo had never left Qianjiang Province, and his knowledge of the outside world was limited to the Internet.
That was the first time he saw the so-called "Mandarin Duck Pot" in Yuzhong City.
Just like this at this moment.
When the waiter brought their restaurant's mandarin duck pot to the table, the entire table of eight fell into silence for an instant.
"Is this a mandarin duck pot?" Xu Youyu's eyes widened. He looked closer and looked again, but he didn't understand where the mandarin duck was.
Ying Chanxi stared at the pot in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but say, "Isn't the tomato pot in the middle too small?"
Yes, that's right.
Although there are many types of hot pot in Yuzhong City, there are also Jiugongge and the like.
But the halved mandarin duck pot like the one in Yuhang City is really rare here in Yuzhong City.
As for the mandarin duck pots mentioned by the waiters, most of them are of the type in front of you - the scope of the spicy pot is like a ring, with the outer ring tightly wrapping the inner ring of small pots.
The small tomato pot in the middle is about the diameter of two fists, and it might not be able to fit a few pieces of meat in it.
"Is this really slightly spicy?" Yan Zhusheng stretched out his chopsticks and gently stirred the spicy pot. It was full of chili peppers and other spicy ingredients.
"The spicy food here in Yuzhong City may be different from that in Yuhang City." Li Luo explained briefly while suppressing a smile.
To be honest, Li Luo felt that the mild spiciness here was spicier than the heavy spiciness in Yuhang City.
He tasted it for the first time in his previous life. He had diarrhea in the hotel at night and never went out.
This time I was honest.
After the dishes were brought to the table by the waiter, Li Luo basically didn't touch the spicy hot pot except to taste it.
The others, thinking that they had come here, still tasted the spiciness of the hot pot and were sweating profusely.
"In the next two days, Sister Youyu and I will attend salon events. My lawyer will also be here tomorrow. I will also have to spend extra time talking to people from Wenyue Group about the contract."
Li Luo was halfway through eating and said to the others at the table, "We won't be free to go out with you until the 11th when the salon's work is over. You can just go shopping around in the past two days. ”
"It's okay, Li Luo, just do your work." Cui Suling's mouth was numb after eating. She stopped to wipe her mouth and said with a smile, "Anyway, we have a lot of time, and there aren't many scenic spots in the city here. It’s not too late to go shopping then.”
"Let's get familiar with the environment in the past two days." Xu Rongsheng also said, "It doesn't matter whether we see the scenic spots or not. I'm more interested in the food here."
Nowadays, most urban attractions are highly commercialized, even those with natural scenery are hardly exceptions.
Xu Rongsheng is not interested in the check-in type of travel. He prefers to experience the cultural environment of a place in person.
Among them, food is indispensable.
On this point, Li Luo quite agreed.
"We can eat together." Li Luo said with a smile, "Except for the party on the 10th, we can look for food together nearby at other times. I will find local authors to recommend to us."
After eating the hot pot, all eight of us were already sweating from the heat, so we simply walked back to the hotel to take a shower.
It’s extremely hot here in Yuzhong City, no less hot than Yuhang City.
Even at night, it was very hot and muggy, like a big steam oven.
After taking a shower, Cui Suling didn't know what to do, so she just grabbed Xu Rongsheng and the couple next door and found a chess and card room nearby.
"We are traveling, why do we still play mahjong?" Lin Xiuhong couldn't help laughing when she found out that the destination was a chess and card room.
Xu Rongsheng would make up for his wife: "When you come to the Sichuan-Sichuan area, you naturally have to experience the customs and customs here. Sichuan and Ma are also unique here, so you can experience it."
"When the four of us come out, what will happen to Li Luo and the others?" Li Guohong asked from the side.
"Why do you care about them?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes, "They probably feel uncomfortable while we are here, and they probably want us to go away."
"That's right." Cui Suling also agreed, "We call them children, but they are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are considered young adults. And your Li Luo is so mature, he doesn't act like a child."
"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Lin Xiuhong smiled and waved her hands, becoming modest, "This kid used to be very naughty, you don't know..."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiuhong also paused.
I just wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it for a while.
The memories of his son being naughty and disobedient seemed to have happened at least two years ago.
Ever since Li Luo was admitted to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, it seemed as if he had grown up overnight and was no longer the little kid who needed to be worried about.
"Actually, if you put aside his status as a student and child and think about it for yourself, you will understand." Xu Rongsheng opened a room at the front desk of the chess and card room, led the three of them into the mahjong room and sat down, and then said with a smile.
"Li Luo is now a well-known online author. Last year he became a great writer on Qidian Chinese website. He is about to sign a platinum contract this year."
"You may not feel much about this, but with this identity, as long as he wants to, he will be a member of the bureau of the Qianjiang Provincial Internet Writers Association, and even become the chairman."
"The Provincial Writers' Association should have invited him to join the association before. His subsequent nomination to the Chinese Writers' Association is a sure thing. It's just a matter of time."
"With such an identity, if he really wants to operate in the future, many things will be very convenient."
"Looking at other identities, in addition to online writing, he is also very good at writing songs. Just in the company you opened, there are many people who come to ask for songs every day, right?"
"The album he wrote for Yuan Wanqing before has a very high gold content. In the current digital album sales rankings, the sales of this album should rank among the top three in history."
"Not to mention that the song he wrote was featured in the Spring Festival Gala."
"And even from an economic perspective, he is now a rich man with an annual income of tens of millions."
"You must know that annual income of tens of millions and assets of tens of millions are two completely different concepts."
"With a cash flow of tens of millions, no matter where this thing is placed, it will be regarded as a key object."
"Li Luo has also sold the film and television rights of a book, and Ying Zhicheng has promoted the adaptation of the TV series."
"If, I mean if, his TV series can be as popular as Yuan Wanqing's previous album, then his influence will be even more exaggerated in the future."
"This is not a child."
Xu Rongsheng said a lot, with a lot of emotion on his face.
After sorting it out like this, he also sighed, feeling that this kid was really a bit outrageous.
When I first met Li Luo at a symposium, he was just a well-known online author. Although the manuscript fee of tens of thousands a month is still a lot, it gives people a more nouveau riche feel.
After all, it is a sudden wealth, and everyone knows that a book cannot last forever.
But at that time, Xu Rongsheng would never have imagined that Li Luo would grow at such an alarming rate.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and he had not even graduated from high school, but he had already grown into the majestic appearance he has now.
To put it bluntly, according to Li Luo's current conditions, no matter how much Xu Rongsheng considered himself to be from a so-called scholarly family, his family would still be considered high-ranking.
And the most critical point is that Li Luo is too mature and calm.
From the way he usually behaves, he doesn't look like someone who suddenly got rich.
After making so much money, I don’t buy brand-name clothes, watches or cars for myself. I have never bought expensive ones such as computer headphones.
But before, like traveling to Qiongzhou City, when it came time to spend money, it was not ambiguous at all.
Such quality is truly commendable.

"Old Xu, please stop praising me." Li Guohong listened to Xu Rong's long speech, waved his hands and said, "It still feels a bit unreal for us as a couple. We still need some time to adapt."
Xu Rongsheng, an outsider, can have many emotions. As Li Luo's parents, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong are naturally the two who have the deepest feelings.
But most of the time, that feeling is overshadowed by the familiar feeling of "this kid is my son."
"Why are we talking so much?" Lin Xiuhong quickly interrupted the conversation, "We're here to play mahjong. How do we play Sichuan Mahjong?"
……
Just as the parents started playing mahjong, there was a knock on the door of Li Luo's room.
He stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Xu Youyu next door.
However, she had already changed into a pair of conservative pajamas, long-sleeved pants, and her hair was still wet. When Li Luo opened the door, she walked straight in and sat down on the bed.
"Blow it for me~"
"Sit tight."
Li Luo picked up the hair dryer and blew Xu Youyu's hair.
As a result, just in the middle of blowing, there was a knock on the door of the room again.
When he opened the door again, he saw Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng standing handsomely in the corridor.
Both of them were wearing conservative pajamas and a coat. When they saw Li Luo opening the door, they squeezed in from the outside.
Then they saw Xu Youyu sitting by the bed.
"Have you had your hair blown?"
Li Luo returned to the bed and picked up the hair dryer and continued to blow dry Xu Youyu's hair.
Ying Chanxi nodded: "I came here after playing bamboo sheng against each other."
"Then sit down for a while first." Li Luo said, "You have already taken a bath, and you won't go out to play tonight, right?"
"How about we play flying chess?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes and asked with a smirk on his face.
"Do you have a flying chess piece?" Li Luo's mouth twitched.
"Yes!" Xu Youyu puffed out his chest and put his hands on his hips and said, "I brought it!"
"Why do you bring something like a flying chess when you travel!"
"What's going on? I even brought Monopoly, but I just played that one before and don't really want to play it." Xu Youyu said this, then he clasped his fingers and counted them, "It's definitely not enough to just play Ludo, you have to buy some Snacks, some bars, and some takeout.”
"And..." Xu Youyu said this, secretly stretched out his feet from the slippers, turned sideways, and rubbed against Li Luo.
Li Luo was wearing pajamas and pajamas, but the pajamas were the kind of shorts that exposed his calves and knees. As soon as Xu Youyu's feet rubbed against them, he felt something was wrong with the touch.
When he looked down, he realized that Xu Youyu's foot was actually a piece of dark chocolate.
"Then shall I order takeout?" Yan Zhusheng had already climbed onto the bed, took out his mobile phone and said, "What snacks do you want to eat?"
Li Luo didn't care about snacks. He glanced at Yan Zhusheng's feet subconsciously, and then said with a serious expression: "Zhusheng, you..."
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhusheng tilted her head and looked at him. After noticing his gaze, she stretched out her feet wrapped in white silk, "Do you want to touch them?"
Li Luo patted her feet away and continued to help Xu Youyu blow dry his hair, but he couldn't help but glance at Ying Chanxi's legs.
Zhu Sheng both wore white silk... They were in the same room...
If Ying Chanxi saw Yan Zhusheng wearing white silk, she would definitely not be outdone, so...
"What are you looking at..." Ying Chanxi was a little shy as Li Luo stared at her, but she still climbed onto the bed obediently.
After taking off his slippers, Li Luo could clearly see Ying Chanxi's small feet tightly wrapped in white cotton pantyhose.
Such a beautiful scenery reminded him of the last time he celebrated his birthday.
"You must have made an appointment, right?" Li Luo couldn't help but ask.
"I'm just telling them if they want to play Ludo later." Xu Youyu said with a smile, then reached out to touch Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng's feet, and even deliberately stretched them into the legs of their pajamas, "I They were not allowed to wear this.”
"Senior sister, aren't you wearing one too?" Yan Zhusheng narrowed her eyes and reached out to pinch her calf wrapped in black stockings.
Ying Chanxi retracted his feet, crawled behind Li Luo and hid, stuck out his head, and criticized Xu Youyu: "Senior sister herself wears black silk, she doesn't know to remind us, if Zhu Sheng hadn't mentioned it I can’t even imagine this.”
"Then where did you two get your white silk stockings and cotton socks?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at them, "They obviously brought them secretly from home, which means you two had already made this plan before coming here."< br>
"You can use it, but you can't live without it." Yan Zhusheng said seriously.
"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded vigorously, "That's it."
"Then I'll go get the flying chess first. Bamboo sheng, hurry up and take out the food. I want to drink!" Xu Youyu got out of bed and ran to the next room to get the flying chess after blowing his hair.
Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu's leaving figure, and then looked at Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng who were already whispering to each other about what snacks to order. His expression was a little dazed.
Unconsciously, the relationship between the four people has reached this point?
It feels like a dream.
