After the divorce, I became a mountain god

The information on the caller ID turned out to be the contact person of the Huaxia Film and Television Center who had contacted me before.

Xu Boan then remembered that he had promised the other party that he would discuss the licensing of the video of "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress Dance" with the other party at the Royal Hotel today.

But after coming back, he was busy attending the auction as scheduled with Zhao Yuntao, and forgot about the negotiations with the contact person of the China Film and Television Center.

Fortunately, Xu Bo'an remembered that the two parties had not agreed on a specific time yet, and only said it would be today, so it was not considered a breach of contract for the time being.

Xu Bo'an pointed at his phone and said to Tang Xiaohu and Lin Miaomiao, "I'm about to take a call. You guys think about what to eat."

"Okay brother, you go ahead and do your thing. We'll be waiting for you." Tang Xiaohu responded.

Xu Boan found a quiet place and quickly answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. May I ask if you have returned to Dongjiang?" A familiar voice came over the phone again.
"Yes, I'm back. But I still have some things to deal with right now, so I should have time in the evening." Xu Bo'an said truthfully.

The person on the other side seemed very happy and said quickly: "Great, if there is no problem, how about we meet in the evening?"

Xu Boan agreed: "Okay, see you tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, goodbye!" The person on the other end hung up the phone politely.

Xu Bo'an frowned slightly. Whose voice is this? It sounds familiar.

But thinking that he would be able to see the other person in the evening, Xu Boan didn't care. The answer would be revealed in the evening anyway.

Tang Xiaohu was still waiting for Xu Bo'an. After Xu Bo'an came back, Lin Miaomiao smiled and said to him, "Brother Xu, when Xiaohu and I went to Dongjiang Hotel some time ago, we found that there was a special dish there that was very good. Let's go to Dongjiang Hotel to try it, what do you think?"

Xu Bo'an had been to Dongjiang Hotel several times before, and his relatives had held a wedding there before. There had been some misunderstandings at the time. However, because the general manager there, Wu Hanting, was promoted by Su Tai, the other party stepped in at the time and handled the matter perfectly.

Xu Boan nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say. I like everything I eat. I'm not picky."

Tang Xiaohu laughed and said, "What do you think, Miaomiao? I told you, Brother Xu will definitely say that."

Lin Miaomiao pouted and said, "Okay, okay, you win!"

Xu Boan asked in confusion: "What are you talking about!"

Tang Xiaohu said proudly: "Just now, when Miaomiao suggested going to eat here and there, he mentioned several places and was entangled in where to eat this meal. I told him that it doesn't matter, because brother, you don't care about these things. You will definitely say that you can eat anything and you are not picky!

Even though I was so sure, Miaomiao still didn't believe me and insisted on making a bet with me! I told him that when we were together, we ate, slept and ate together every day, which was longer than when I was alone or even with my wife. We knew each other very well and there was no way we could make a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Miaomiao still refused to believe it, so I made a bet with her. The bet was not big, just washing her socks for a week, and they had to be washed by hand. Now that I won, Miaomiao must be feeling unhappy. "

Looking at Tang Xiaohu's smug expression, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Wow, it's really true that fools have good luck. How could a straight man like Tang Xiaohu be so lucky to find such a good partner.

"Ahem!" Xu Bo'an pretended to cough twice, then moved closer to Tang Xiaohu and said, "You are sick, you are a country bumpkin. Why are you arguing with your wife? You think you have won, but it's because she doesn't want to argue with you. Otherwise, just cry, make a scene, and act like a spoiled child. I want to see how you deal with it."

Tang Xiaohu was stunned, scratched the back of his head and said, "I said I didn't want to gamble, but she insisted. I know Miaomiao, she wouldn't be so stingy."

Xu Bo'an looked at Lin Miaomiao's calm and somewhat abnormal expression, and in his heart he could not help but mourn for Tang Xiaohu three times, then patted Tang Xiaohu's shoulder vigorously and said, "You kid, I don't know what to say to you, you are addicted to gambling, you were betting just now, how Miaomiao treated you, she took out all her savings to support you, and now you are playing tricks on her, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?"

Tang Xiaohu frowned and nodded, saying, "It seems like a little bit."

Then Tang Xiaohu forced a smile at Lin Miaomiao and said flatteringly, "Well, Miaomiao, I was just joking with you. We don't count the bet, hehe."

Lin Miaomiao said sarcastically, "Don't do that. General Manager Tang is a real man. How can you go back on your word? I am willing to accept the loss and help my husband wash his socks according to the bet. It's not shameful at all."

Tang Xiaohu hurriedly hugged Lin Miaomiao's arm and shook it, saying, "Are you serious? I was really joking. We agreed that I would be responsible for our family's laundry, so it must be my job. I didn't expect Brother Xu to cooperate with me so well just now. Please don't take it seriously."

Lin Miaomiao shook off Tang Xiaohu's hand and said, "What are you doing? You are a grown man but you are acting like a child. Brother Xu is still watching us. Aren't you ashamed?"

Xu Boan chuckled, turned his head and said, "You guys continue, I can't see."

After making a fuss for a while, they came to Dongjiang Hotel.

As another large hotel in Dongjiang that is no less important than the Royal Hotel, the business here has always been good.

However, when Xu Bo'an came to Dongjiang Hotel again, he was still surprised by how popular this place was.

Wow, there are so many people here!

Looking around, the huge lobby of Dongjiang Hotel was crowded with people. Xu Bo'an had good hearing and he heard people queuing up before he even entered the door.

Fortunately, Lin Miaomiao is the daughter of the Imperial Hotel after all. Although the two hotels are competitors in private, they are also very familiar with each other. So with the help of Lin Miaomiao's face, the few of them quickly got a seat.

Places like the Dongjiang Hotel always have a few private rooms and seats reserved for emergencies. After all, there are often distinguished guests who cannot be refused, and it would be embarrassing if you fail to complete this reception task.

Therefore, even if it affects business and reduces profits, this has always been the rule of Dongjiang Hotel.

Therefore, Lin Miaomiao and her friends arrived late and sat down early. This was not considered as cutting in line. They were just customers who had made an appointment in advance, and they were seated smoothly.

Tang Xiaohu didn't bother to be polite with Xu Bo'an. He immediately picked up the electronic menu and said, "Brother, I'm in charge of the order today. I'll order you some dishes you haven't eaten before to shock you."

Xu Boan smiled and took a sip of tea while saying, "Whatever you want, I don't have any dietary restrictions, you know." Not long after the three of them sat down, they saw Lin Miaomiao suddenly raise her hand and wave to a place not far away.

"Hey, Su Jie, this way!"

Xu Boan subconsciously glanced in the direction Lin Miaomiao was greeting, and saw a slim woman waving at Lin Miaomiao and walking towards her with a smile.

Xu Boan was still surprised when he saw the woman's dress.

Lin Miaomiao just said that this is a female doctor.

After all, Xu Bo'an was a graduate student, and he had met many doctoral students before.

In Xu Bo'an's impression, his senior schoolmates always wore gray-blue suits, or simple clothes, with the top button buttoned, paired with simple jeans or trousers. They hurried back and forth between the laboratory and the dormitory, and even when they met and greeted each other on the road, they often adjusted the frames of their glasses between their ears several times.

But the woman in front of him was completely different from Xu Bo'an's impression of a female doctor who was not very good at dressing up.

The woman had long curly ebony hair that was permed and dyed, with a glimmer of rose gold at the ends, which was very fashionable. She wore a bright burgundy long skirt and a beige sweater on her shoulders, revealing a thin gold chain that was faintly visible at her collarbone. The cold light of the metal made her skin and neck look even whiter.

The woman was wearing a pair of silver high-heeled sandals, swaying with every step, looking very graceful, like an illustration girl from a fashion magazine. She immediately attracted the attention of countless people in the hall. Xu Boan even noticed that many couples began to sulk because of the appearance of this woman.

My goodness, it's really hard to associate this fashionable urban beauty with a female doctor.

After a while, the woman walked in and sat down.

Because it was a small square table, Lin Miaomiao and Tang Xiaohu sat on one side. There was only an empty seat next to Xu Boan, so the woman had to sit there.

"Su Jie, this is Brother Xu, my husband and I's good brother. Brother Xu, this is the Su Jie I told you about, the female doctor!"

Xu Bo'an was about to open his mouth and say hello politely, when he saw Su Jie covering her mouth slightly and said in surprise: "Brother Xu? He is the rich man who gave you and your husband a million-dollar imperial green jewelry as a gift!"

Lin Miaomiao's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She didn't care that much about money, but she felt very comfortable when she thought that her lover, who she thought was helpless, actually had such a good brother.

Lin Miaomiao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's my brother Xu!"

Su Jie exclaimed, "Hello, big brother Tuhao, I am Su Jie, and I have heard of your great reputation for a long time."

Xu Bo'an didn't expect such an opening remark. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tease me, Mr. Su. I just went to school for a few more years and saved up a little money. It's hard to be famous!"

Su Jie stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not very good, I just had better luck. I can't bear the title of academic master."

While they were chatting, three side dishes were served on the table.

A plate of mixed vegetarian vegetables, a plate of crispy radish strips, and a plate of watercress.

Although it is not high-end and classy, ​​and seems to be out of place in such a high-end place, each dish is a great appetizer.

When Tang Xiaohu saw the dishes were served, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and said, "Come on, everyone, have a taste of this refreshing dish first."

As he spoke, he stopped being polite and took up a piece of the fried bean curd with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth impatiently. He then tasted it carefully before saying, "This is the taste, so delicious. How come this side dish is so well mixed!"

Seeing Tang Xiaohu's attitude, Xu Boan also became curious.

You have to know that both of them are from engineering backgrounds. When it comes to the civil engineer's specialty, in addition to some well-known things, eating is also a very important point. It's not as simple as just opening your mouth to eat.

Let’s put it this way, any civil engineer who has been on a construction site for ten or eight years will definitely be a foodie who loves to eat all kinds of food!
Because people in the engineering industry travel a lot, each place has its own special dishes and cooking methods.

They traveled far and wide, and tried everything from stews in the north to steamed dishes in southern Xinjiang, from seafood on the east coast to mutton in the west. They were experts in everything, and loved everything!

In the severe cold of the north, a bowl of hot mutton soup steamed bun can dispel all the coldness in their bodies; in the south, a bowl of delicate and smooth rice noodles or delicious snail noodles can comfort their tired bodies and homesick hearts. In the eastern coastal areas, there are a variety of seafood feasts, and the cheap seafood makes them finally willing to taste the tenderness of various fish and the sweetness of shellfish; and in the west, the sizzling roasted whole lamb, paired with mellow barley wine, makes them linger.

These civil engineering guys not only know all kinds of food ingredients well, but also gradually mastered cooking skills. In the simple shed, they can use the most common kitchen utensils to magically make the taste of their hometown, so that the workers far away from home can also taste a little warmth of home.

If you don’t have a stove, that’s not a problem. There is no shortage of bricks and stones on the construction site. If you don’t have a table, that’s even less of a problem. The workers at the steel structure processing center can weld table support frames of various specifications for you, and then use the building membrane panels that can be found everywhere on the construction site to make a table of any size for you.

As for the lack of stools, that is absolutely impossible. With so many oil drums, they could become very sturdy stools if turned over.

Therefore, every civil engineer is not only an expert in construction, but also a walking gourmet with a mouthful of delicious food.

This is just the life of an ordinary guy on a construction site. If you can reach the level of chief engineer or even project manager like Tang Xiaohu, you can definitely eat the best local food no matter where you work.

So Xu Bo'an was quite surprised to see Tang Xiaohu praise this simple side dish so much, and he immediately picked up a piece of watercress and put it into his mouth.

Then, Xu Boan's eyes lit up.

Oh my dear fourth uncle, this dish is so delicious!

However, this dish has a very familiar taste.

Isn’t this the same kind of mountain yellow that I’ve eaten in the bonsai world and used to make sour juice or sobering liquid?
Could it be that this thing also exists in the real world?

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an was instantly shocked. Wow, is there really such a thing? (End of this chapter)
