Chapter 221 Brother Nan's Tips for Getting Food "Hey, there are restaurants next to the national highway here?" Brother Nan saw a restaurant on the side of the road. "Yes, this type is usually prepared for people who travel long distances. There will also be hotels and repair shops next to the hotel." Li Mu looked at the row of shops left behind by the car through the rearview mirror. "Oh, then let's find a restaurant to have a meal and experience it." Brother Nan glanced at his watch, "After we finish eating and arrive at the courtyard, we don't have to cook dinner. Let's go to bed early and patrol the forest tomorrow." "Okay." Li Mu nodded. Brother Nan stopped talking and glanced at the roadside from time to time, looking for a restaurant that looked pleasing to the eye. She rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing her fair arms. On her slender wrists were a black hairband and a ladies' watch, which added a bit of daughter's gentleness to her appearance. The cat lay on Li Mu's legs and watched Tik Tok on his mobile phone. When he had seen enough, he would swipe upwards with his little paw, and a new video would appear. The kitten has turned Li Mu’s TikTok into the shape of a cat—— Most of the videos pushed by big data are about cats. They are either videos of humans talking to cats, or videos of humans tying a lens around the cat's neck to allow people to experience being a cat from a first-person perspective. There are also sitcoms performed by cats and clips of Tom and Jerry.
Suddenly, a call popped up on the phone. "Aunt." Mao'er read the caller ID quietly and looked up at Li Mu, "It's Aunt's call!" "Yes, Lord Yogurt is indeed very smart." Li Mu said as he picked up his phone. Brother Nan glanced at him. "It's my aunt calling." "Oh." Brother Nan quickly turned down the music. "Hi, Auntie." "Xiao Mu, where are you? You should be in Lingchun by now, right?" "Yes, we are here. We are on our way back to the mountains." "Okay, be safe." "understood." "This truck is so annoying!" Sister Nan suddenly said. There was a truck carrying rubble swaying on the national highway, raising a lot of dust. The vehicle was not going very fast and was blocking the road so that she could not overtake. "I heard Xiaonan talking." Auntie's voice became visibly happy. "Are you driving? Then I won't tell you." "No, I'm in the passenger seat." Li Mu said as she stole a glance at Brother Nan. Brother Nan's ears stood up like antennas, and it was obvious that he was eavesdropping, but she should not be able to hear it. "Oh, Xiaonan is driving." Auntie said earnestly, "Don't just let Xiaonan drive. She is a girl and has been on the high-speed train all the way. Let her lie down on the passenger seat and take a rest. The two of you should take care of each other and understand each other. You should live like this in the future." After chatting for a while, my aunt hung up the phone. "What did aunt say?" asked Brother Nan.
"Nothing." Li Mu pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed. Auntie even talked about how he and Brother Nan should take care of the children in the future. "Tsk, forget it." Brother Nan made a sound and turned the music back on. After a while, Brother Nan found a roadside restaurant that looked cleaner. Generally speaking, there are some scams in these restaurants along the national highway, mainly targeting long-distance bus or truck drivers. However, Sister Nan was lucky, and the restaurant she chose was not bad, and the scam was not that serious. This is a fast food restaurant. It costs 30 per person and you can eat until you are full. The dishes looked OK, with more than a dozen of them, both meat and vegetarian. The only problem was that the meat dishes looked a bit picky and always had to be shaken. After looking around, Brother Nan decided that this was the one. It was getting dark and it would be a waste of time to look for another one. Pay the money and take the plate. This restaurant should be opened by someone with some financial resources in the local village. It covers a large area and its roof is built with a color-coated steel awning, like a simple factory building. There are tables and chairs placed under the awning, and if it is full, it can probably seat two to three hundred people. It was dinner time at this time, and there were about a hundred people sitting scattered inside. Most of them had gotten off the buses parked outside. Many of them just came in to sit and rest, without getting any food. Li Mu took a quick look at the dishes and ordered a stir-fried rapeseed, a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds, and a konjac roast duck. When serving the vegetables, the lady was very generous, scooping a full spoonful, and praised Li Mu for being handsome, and made sure to eat enough. But when serving the meat, she completely forgot what she had just said, shook the spoonful of vegetables, and when she put it on the plate, there were only four pieces of duck meat. Li Mu looked at helplessly, without saying a word. Brother Nan stood still with the plate in his hand. He didn't rush to order food. Instead, he looked at the gold and silver jewelry on the aunt's neck and ears and began to praise her. "Sister, your necklace is so beautiful. Is it pure gold?" "Oh, the little girl has good taste." "So beautiful. Your skin is naturally fair, and with the gold, you look like an 18-year-old girl. Oh, I'm not calling you old by calling you sister, am I?" "." Li Mu watched Brother Nan talking to the old lady with his eyes wide open and telling lies, and ignored her and took the kitten to find a place. While looking for a seat, he attracted a lot of attention from people in the store, including men, women, young and old. Li Mu has gotten used to it. This happened as soon as he and Brother Nan entered the restaurant. It’s just that young people are better off. Those uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas stare at you without blinking, and they are not afraid of being discovered by you at all. "Just sit here." Li Mu found an empty table and put down the tray. "Meow!" The cat jumped lightly onto the table, leaving behind a few gray plum blossom footprints. "Hmm, I forgot to wipe my feet." The cat lowered its head and stared at the footprints. "It's okay. This place is close to the national highway and there's a lot of dust. Just clean it up for the boss when you leave." "Yes, you are so smart!" "Master Yogurt will soon be smarter than me."
"When will it be soon?" "Learn more words and numbers." Li Mu took out a small bowl for yogurt from her bag and put the dried deep-sea silverfish that Brother Nan bought for her into it. I don’t know what Brother Nan and the aunt were talking about. They talked for a long time. Li Mu had finished half of his meal when she came over with the tray. The plate was filled with meat. Not only were there a lot of dishes, but it seemed as if they were specially picked for her. Just like the potato ribs, the name sounds hard and it was also written on the promotional poster outside the restaurant. In fact, after entering the restaurant, all the dishes served were potatoes, except for Brother Nan's plate, which was full of ribs but no potatoes. Li Mu felt very unbalanced in an instant. Brother Nan smiled when he saw this, and after he sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and put a few pieces of ribs on Li Mu's plate, "Come on, come on, eat more meat, and I'll go get you some after you finish eating." ten minutes later. Li Mu put down his chopsticks and took Brother Nan’s tissue to wipe his mouth. Mao'er also finished eating the dried fish, and Li Mu wiped her mouth. Seeing that there was still half of the food on Brother Nan's plate, he picked up the yogurt and said, "I'll wait for you outside." Brother Nan waved his hand. Li Mu walked out of the hotel holding the kitten and looked up into the distance. There were shadows of mountains in the distance; the sun had already set behind them, burning the clouds in the sky red. In a trance, Li Mu felt like he was on a long journey. "what are you doing?" After finishing his meal, Brother Nan came jumping behind Li Mu and shouted loudly, trying to scare him, but unfortunately he failed. "Look." Li Mu pointed to the scenery in the distance, "Does it feel like a pleasant journey?" "what happened?" "I heard from someone." Li Mu hesitated for a moment, "The best way to test whether two people are suitable for each other is to take a long journey." "Ok?" Brother Nan was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "What kind of long-distance trip is this? Let's take a real long-distance trip later!" (End of this chapter)
