Chapter 85 Shopping
If she can't remember, so be it. Maybe she'll run into him again. Why think so much? As long as he doesn't do anything bad to Jiu Jiu, she doesn't care about anything else.
"Okay, I forgive you." Xiao Jiu wasn't really angry. It was just a contact number, nothing shameful. She gave it to him.
The four of them took another walk around the school and felt they had gotten enough exercise for the day, so they decided to go eat together.
"Wow, it's this hot pot restaurant! Their hot pot is really delicious." Lu Shuhe was wondering which hot pot restaurant it was when she saw this extremely familiar sign.
"Do you like their food too? Is it really that good? I saw this hot pot restaurant on social media before, but I didn't get to try it. I've been thinking about it ever since." Xiao Jiu brought up the hot pot restaurant.
The name of this hot pot restaurant is also quite peculiar; it's simply called "This Hot Pot Restaurant." She had seen it recommended in a video while browsing videos, and everyone who had eaten there said it was delicious.
"Their hot pot is pretty good. The ingredients are all quite fresh, and the price is quite reasonable for us students." Meng Wanning had also come here many times with Lu Shuhe.
The two of them were just worried that if the place Jiu Jiu and her friend had chosen was too expensive, they should know how to politely refuse and change their minds.
After all, when people go out to eat together, it's not fair for the two of them to pay while they only contribute their presence. If the expenses are really high, splitting the bill would be quite difficult for the two of them.
They still receive a living allowance from their families, which is 2,000 yuan a month. This is quite a lot, considering that neither of their families are particularly wealthy. Compared to some families that only receive 1,000 yuan a month, this is relatively much.
"Then let's try it together. Neither Jiu Jiu nor I have ever eaten at their restaurant before. If it's good, we can come back anytime if we want to eat there." Shao Xingchu didn't take advantage of her wealth to disregard her roommates' feelings.
She wasn't one to be taken advantage of, and said that since they were having a get-together and were all roommates, they shouldn't have to pay the bill just because someone had money.
She doesn't necessarily need to eat expensive food. Her family is wealthy, and she's still just a student. Students should act like students. It's fine to compare academic performance, but there's no need to compare wealth.
The four of them went into the hot pot restaurant. It must have been really delicious, because there were a lot of people eating there. Luckily, they got a table as soon as they came in and didn't have to wait.
The four of them took turns ordering what they liked to eat. They said this hot pot restaurant was cheap, but it wasn't really cheap. It cost about 200 yuan per person, and the four of them spent nearly 1,000 yuan on the food they ordered.
However, it's bearable to eat it once in a while; you can't eat good things every day.
Xiao Jiu doesn't have a strong sense of money. She uses the money she earns from her live streams for charity and also keeps some for herself.
That's enough for her to buy whatever she wants. Isn't the point of making money to be able to buy what you like without hesitation?
Xiao Jiu feels that she has already achieved her goals. She doesn't like many things, just eating, drinking and having fun. She's not very interested in expensive jewelry or the like, or you could say that she already owns things that are even more beautiful than those.
These things didn't hold much appeal for her.
"It's so delicious, but their spicy hot pot is really spicy. Ouch!" Xiao Jiu really loves the feeling of spicy hot pot, but she seems to have overestimated her tolerance.
After eating this, my face turned slightly red. The stimulating sensation in my mouth was both exhilarating and unpleasant. It was so spicy that my tongue felt like other things in the hot pot didn't taste like anything anymore.
"You can't eat spicy food. If you had known, you would have ordered the mild spicy hot pot. I thought you said you like spicy food, so I ordered their classic spicy hot pot, which I often eat. Drink some milk to relieve the spiciness."
When Lu Shuhe asked about the hot pot base, she specifically asked Chu Chu and Jiu Jiu about their tolerance for spicy food. Chu Chu said she was fine with anything and didn't have any particular preference for spicy broth, while Jiu Jiu said she liked spicy food.
Lu Shuhe thought she had met a kindred spirit, but she was also worried that her order was too spicy and the others wouldn't be able to finish it, so she didn't order any spicy dishes for the other hot pots.
The four of them ordered a four-compartment hot pot. In addition to Lu Shuhe's choice of the classic spicy hot pot base, Meng Wanning had also eaten here before and preferred the tomato soup.
Seeing that there were spicy hot pot and tomato hot pot available, Shao Xing first ordered a mushroom soup base and a pork tripe and chicken soup base, both of which were relatively mild.
Xiao Jiu took a sip of milk, but the spicy sensation hadn't subsided, so she wanted to try another sip.
Meng Wanning can't eat any spicy food at all; she's extremely afraid of spicy food. She only cooks vegetables in the other three pots. When she first saw how spicy Xiao Jiu was, she stopped trying it herself, as she's very prone to getting a sore throat.
She figured eating something too spicy would give her mouth ulcers, but she still decided to try it anyway.
She's developed a tolerance to mild spiciness and doesn't get mouth ulcers as easily anymore. She ate it when she first met Jiu Jiu, but not much, and didn't feel any signs of getting a sore throat afterward.
Last time Jiu Jiu ate it, she only thought it was a little spicy, not this spicy. Her lips were red from the spiciness, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
Lu Shuhe can really handle spicy food. She thinks this level of spiciness is just right for her. She focuses on eating the vegetables in the spicy hot pot and rarely visits the other three hot pots.
She thought the taste was just average, not as delicious as the spicy hot pot.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided to go shopping. Zhou Xuanyu added Xiao Jiu on WeChat and kept wondering what message to send her.
Xiao Jiu had completely forgotten about this person. She was having a great time shopping with her three girlfriends. Shao Xingchu had everything she needed. Her family lived in this area, and her mother would have brands send her the latest seasonal items to her room every season.
She really wanted to buy something for Jiu Jiu, but Jiu Jiu wouldn't let her. The two of them went with Shu He and the other girl to the place where they often went shopping. This was the first time Shao Xingchu had gone shopping in such a place with her girlfriends.
Her former so-called friends would only take her to designer stores and try to get her to pay for their things. When she was younger, she might have been coaxed into spending money, but now she simply avoids any close contact with them.
