Chapter 2434

The last dish was the duck paste rotten clothes. It was impossible to tell the original ingredients just by looking at the appearance. It was so beautiful that it didn’t even match the name. The only similarity was that it was as light as a feather coat.

Of course, as it was a banquet on a boat, even if Yuan Zhou made some changes, it couldn’t be too big. Therefore, even if it was so light that it seemed to be weightless, it was still about the amount of food that a person could eat with two chopsticks.

The action of stretching out twice was not too simple, and the dishes that had just been served were gone in almost less than two seconds.

At that time, it was the time between the main dish and the last dessert. Yuan Zhou was well aware of the rhythm of the dishes being served and almost grasped it quite accurately. Therefore, Sun Ji finally had the time to solve the doubts in his heart.

This doubt was given by little ma. In the beginning, Sun Ji really didn’t notice little Ma’s behavior, but he would inevitably notice it later. It wasn’t that he was stingy, but mainly because he wasn’t very familiar with him. Wasn’t snatching food too familiar?

Yuan Zhou’s dishes were truly delicious. Even if one was used to eating the heavy dishes of Hunan cuisine, one would still be convinced by the light and mellow taste of the ship dishes. However, no matter how delicious the dishes were, one wouldn’t eat the dishes of people they weren’t familiar with.

Sun Ji inevitably paid more attention to the little horse, who came to share the food. In addition, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was familiar, so he had to take a look.

“It shouldn’t be an ordinary face.” Sun Ji pondered.

After some observation, they found a problem. From the time they found out that Young MA was involved in the fight for the dishes, that was the first cold dish. Young MA was involved in the next ten dishes, but he didn’t participate in the next dozens of dishes.

At first, Sun Ji thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after observing the two dishes, he found that Young MA didn’t even pick up his chopsticks. It was only because the pace of the dishes being served was fast, and that Jin Jianhua and Si Jinning didn’t know that someone had quit the competition, they were still fighting for the dishes with great enthusiasm. It was particularly lively, so young Ma’s withdrawal wasn’t unexpected at all.

“Why didn’t you fight for food after that?” Sun Ji wondered if he was sick. He was not used to not snatching food.

“I only ordered two main dishes. That’s the price. I’m sure I can’t eat anymore.” Xiao Ma said with a serious face.

Of course, he regretted it deep down in his heart. This was his first time eating a ship feast, and he only knew how to eat the dishes at the front. The dishes at the back were more and more exciting. It was a pity that he had snatched too many dishes at the front, and the price of the dishes he ordered were not equal to the price of the dishes he had ordered. He had to use all his strength to restrain the primitive force in his body.

It was only then that Li Jianhua and Si Jinning came back to their senses. The two of them touched their stomachs together and felt that they were 90% full. No wonder they were so full. It turned out that they had been the ones who had eaten.

Sun Ji nodded when he heard this. In the beginning, he was really not used to this method, but when he heard little ma say this, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. At least it was an equivalent exchange. The taste of the rock sugar pork trotter just now was also excellent, so he didn’t lose out. Besides, he still had one dish left.

Without waiting for Sun Ji to finish sighing, Xiao Ma opened his mouth again and said something that made him surprised.

“Ji Xiang, we’ve been sitting face to face for so long and you really didn’t recognize me?” Xiao Ma said calmly.

His position happened to be directly opposite Sun Ji. Although his tone was calm at the moment, the speechless expression on his face was very obvious.

Sun Ji wasn’t the only one with a head full of question marks. Even si Jinning and nie Jianhua felt like their heads were filled with little kids. What was going on? weren’t they just sitting together and snatching food? they’d met once before, so how could there be an accident?

Of course, this wasn’t a surprise to little ma.

Even the number of people lining up behind the three of them and sharing a table with them was calculated by little ma.

Originally, little ma came with his brother, Xiao Li, today. After seeing Sun Ji in front of Xiao Li, he paid the price of a breakfast in the restaurant to change his seat with Xiao Li and line up behind Sun Ji. Then, everything that happened after that was logical.

As long as the diners were willing, it was not a problem to change their seats in front of and behind. It would not affect the others, but it would not be considered a violation of the rules if it affected the order in which the two of them ate.

It was a pity that Xiao Ma’s outstanding performance didn’t attract Sun Ji’s attention. Instead, Sun Ji noticed how many dishes he had eaten. He didn’t know whether to laugh or be sad.

“And you are?” Sun Ji’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Ma’s face when he spoke.

The only people who could call him Ji Xiang or know his nickname were the people in the troupe at that time. In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. Sun Ji had really forgotten all the things that happened in the past.

Although Sun Ji looked elegant and steady now, he was really rebellious when he was young. He didn’t like the things that were passed down in his family. He went to the famous Yue opera troupe and sang for a year. In the end, he returned home because the troupe disbanded. He worked hard to learn Fengyang Flower Drum and Flower Drum opera. It could be said that he had a rich experience.

“Take a look again.” Xiao Ma moved closer to Sun Ji.

This time, Sun Ji clearly saw a big black mole under Xiao Ma’s chin. It was as if a memory box had been opened, and a faded but absolutely profound image was revealed.

“You’re a donkey’s egg!” Sun Ji subconsciously raised his voice.

After uttering the first word, he realized his current situation and immediately lowered his voice to avoid disturbing the others.

Although it was Sun Ji’s first time here, he was affected by the surrounding environment and subconsciously followed some of the store’s default rules.

“Eh!”

Xiao Ma was a little speechless. He wanted Sun Ji to recognize him, but it didn’t mean that he wanted this nickname to reappear. He felt a little complicated for a while.

“You’re a donkey. Hahaha, I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s been so many years, and it’s great to see you here. ” A rare big smile appeared on Sun Ji’s face. It was the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Even si Jinning and Jin Jianhua found it a little unbelievable. They had just met a thick-skinned customer, so how could there be such a drama of meeting an old friend in a foreign land?

In fact, Xiao Ma’s real name was mahu. It was impossible to change the name given by his parents. Of course, when he was in the troupe, some people said that mahu was not a donkey, so he might as well be called Ludan. It was loud and easy to remember. Since then, few people called Xiao Ma’s real name, so Sun Ji blurted it out.

Because almost everyone in the troupe would give themselves nicknames, such as Sun Ji and Mado you were directly used as nicknames. It was a bit difficult to explain in a few words back then.

“It has indeed been a long time. Didn’t you go home to inherit it? why did you come to Chengdu?” he asked. Mahu’s face also revealed a happy smile when he heard Sun Ji’s words.

Many years had passed, but the two children were still very close when they were in the troupe. The main reason was that one had a baby face, and the other had a face that looked older at first glance. The difference was obviously not big, but it looked like a generation difference. Therefore, Sun Ji had automatically and consciously protected many young horses back then.

Even though it had been a long time, Mado still remembered the protection of the past, so he was particularly happy when he saw Sun Ji.

“They’re indeed home, but they’re here for something. Let me introduce you. This is elder si from the book-judging world, and this is elder Huang from the Sichuan Opera world. It’s fate that we’re having a meal together today.”
