In the cinema, the audience was leaving.
Cheng Jinyang stood up and saw Xing Yunzhi getting up with a speechless expression, while Cui Jinqi sat blankly in her seat, speechless for a long time.
“How could it end like this!” After everyone around her had left, she suddenly held her head and screamed.
At the end of the movie, the female lead, Xiao Laijiao, blocks the gun to save Xiao Bailong and dies in his arms; the second female lead, Bai Lianhua, is blinded and becomes insane. The male protagonist, Xiao Bailong, loses an arm and has to accompany and take care of the mad man throughout his life. Wife, until her head turns white.
Other viewers seemed very satisfied. After the producer’s subtitles came out, many people were still talking about the “shocking ending”. However, the two girls were completely stunned.
“I shouldn’t believe the movie reviews!” Cui Xiaoniang burst into tears and kept pulling tissues out of the bag, “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuth, I should confirm the ending first…”
“Confirming the ending doesn’t mean it’s a spoiler in advance?” Cheng Jinyang asked her back.
Cui Xiaoniang did not answer, but kept wiping tears from her red eyes, as if she was still immersed in the ending just now.
“I should have thought of it earlier.” Xing Yunzhi sighed from the side, “There can’t be any comedy movies here in Jingkou.”
Cheng Jinyang thought about it for a moment, and it was true.
Generally speaking, the general public prefers popular light comedies for fun; intellectuals and young literary and artistic people are more inclined to appreciate literary films with in-depth content and meaningful endings.
Since the ticket price is the same, light comedies that can sell more tickets tend to have an advantage in sales.
However, Jingkou is different. The population here is mainly composed of refugees from the north. The people have traveled long distances to flee here. Their property is almost exhausted. How can they be willing to watch a movie?
Therefore, those who come to watch movies are almost all “literary lovers” who do not have much money in their pockets but still insist on enjoying movies. Needless to say, these people have different taste preferences.
After walking out of the theater, Cui Jinqi was still crying endlessly, almost burying her head in Cheng Jinyang’s arms, rubbing and pressing.
Xing Yunzhi stood aside and watched with cold eyes, knowing that this girl was starting to take advantage of others, so she deliberately said:
“I originally wanted us to have a meal, but Jinqi has lost her appetite after thinking about it like this. Forget it, Jinyang, I’ll let the Diwang people take her back first.”
“Who said that!” Cui Jinqi immediately raised her head with red eyes and gritted her teeth and said, “I have an appetite! Very much! I can eat a roasted whole cow now with so much grief and anger!”
“Okay.” Xing Yunzhi said nonchalantly, “There happens to be a newly opened barbecue restaurant nearby. I’ll order a roasted whole beef for you later.”
Cui Xiaoniang:? !
“Ah, the barbecue is good.” Seeing that Cui Xiaoniang was no match for Ah Zhi, Cheng Jinyang had to come out to balance again, “I also want to eat barbecue. Jinqi, can you share some of your Quan Niu with me later?”
“It’s okay.” Xing Yunzhi sneered, “You two will eat slowly later. Don’t leave anything behind. You must finish it all.”
………………
In a nearby roasting shop, three people stared at the roasted whole beef on the charcoal fire in a daze.
“No!” Cheng Jinyang said in disbelief, “Azhi, are you serious?”
“Isn’t that right?!” When Xing Yunzhi saw the huge roasted whole cow being carried out by a few northern men, he was frightened. “Shouldn’t roasted whole cows use calves? Who would take the whole cow? Come and roast the ox!”
“Sir, it’s clearly written on our menu.” The northern man in the store showed a shy smile, “The roasted whole beef is a tough dish. The portion is suitable for three to four people.”
Cui Jinqi stared, walked to the side of the roasted beef, spread her hands, and made a “look at this” gesture:
“Are you sure? Just this one hind leg is enough for the three of us to eat! Just give it back.”
“Is your guest joking? My mother-in-law can handle a hindrance by herself.” The northern man was also a little startled. He turned around and called his wife, “Well, Guifang!”
Then a strong-armed and round-waisted cook came out of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her hand:
“What’s wrong?”
“The customer said the portion of roasted beef is too large. Can I return it?”
“Of course not!” The cook opened her eyes, “It’s almost done. Who should we sell it to if it’s returned?”
The three of them were speechless.
Of course, as the local emperor of Jingkou, as long as Cheng Jinyang reveals his identity, he can definitely retire. Not giving in? Then the Beifu Army will commandeer your store.
But this would be too much to bully others. Cheng Jinyang sighed, held his forehead and said:
“Okay, let’s eat first. Storekeeper, you can help us grill it, and we’ll fillet and package all the meat that we can’t finish later, okay?”
“Okay.” The men surrounded the roasted beef, and with swords flying up and down, they sprinkled a plate of sliced meat with cumin, pepper, and fennel powder and brought it up like an assembly line.
“Pack it back for who to eat?”
“It’s okay, Qingqing should be able to handle it.” Cheng Jinyang also lowered his voice, “She is a standard carnivore, I believe she can do it.”
Nearly 40 minutes later, the other girls at the Cheng clan’s farm in Jingkou looked at the dozens of boxes of beef that filled the table with dull expressions.
“Why so many? You didn’t order the roasted whole beef, did you?” Chu Qingqing asked, dumbfounded.
“The store’s menu says that the portion is suitable for 3-4 people…” Xing Yunzhi said helplessly.
“Can you believe the weight that the northern man says?” Miss Qingqing laughed, “They eat buns all the time, you know? Forget it, I’ll heat them up for you.”
So she moved the charcoal grill, and everyone sat around the round table, quietly picking up the meat with chopsticks, and eating it while grilling.
The trio, who had already eaten, stood by and cheered everyone on.
Soon little Wangshu was the first to be defeated, eating too quickly and choked. Zheng Qiupei handed her a glass of water. After she drank it, she refused to eat any more. She typed, “The meat is almost full to the mouth of her throat.”
The second one was Miss Wang, who still finished a box slowly, wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully with a napkin, then calmly stood up and left.
So there were only three girls left on the dining table. Cheng Jinyang, Ah Zhi, and Cui Xiaoniang stood silently beside them, looking at the half-empty dining table, looking at each other, speechless and choked.
“It’s okay.” Cui Xiaoniang secretly cheered, “Half of the people are gone, and half of the meat is missing. It can be done.”
“There are a few more bags by the door.” Cheng Jinyang reminded her, “There’s no room for them on the table.”
Cui Jinqi:………………
“Then we can only throw it away.” Xing Yunzhi sighed and said, “Just waste it.”
“Don’t worry, I believe Qingqing can do it.” Cheng Jinyang secretly cast an encouraging look at Chu Qingqing.
Chu Qingqing:?
The beef tasted good. She was eating happily when she was suddenly looked at by Cheng Jinyang like this. She subconsciously felt guilty and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin.
No residual oil stains? Wait, is it because of what I told Lu Qingyun…
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she stood up with a smile:
“I’m stuffed.”
Slipping away.
“Is this the carnivore you’re talking about?” Cui Xiaoniang asked in a lowered voice.
Cheng Jinyang was silent for a while and then said:
“I was wrong…but wait, there are Sister Xiaopei and Teacher Li too!”
Zheng Qiupei ate almost three boxes of beef and felt very full. However, she noticed the hopeful glances from the side, so she gritted her teeth and went to open the fourth box, but was held down by Li Qingwan.
“It’s okay if you can’t eat it. Leave it to me.” Teacher Li said with a smile.
“Qingwan, is it okay?” Zheng Qiupei asked worriedly, “You don’t have to force yourself…”
“Physical activation.” Li Qingwan said calmly.
The eyes of the three people next to them lit up when they heard it, as if they were reborn from the Jedi:
By the way, Teacher Li also has physical activation! No matter how much you eat, you can repair stomach damage!
In the end, Li Qingwan ate all the remaining beef on the table, as well as the seven or eight boxes of meat by the door that were not on the table.
After that, the girls didn’t eat beef for nearly a month
