Chapter 190 Date!

Chapter 190 Date!

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the day off.

Because of the last blind date, Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue agreed to go out and play together on this weekend. After Jia Dongming finished his breakfast at home in the morning, he rode his bicycle to Lin Qiuyue's house.

After riding for more than 20 minutes, Jia Dongming arrived at the entrance of the alley where Lin Qiuyue's house was located. He saw Lin Qiuyue who had been waiting there for a long time. He quickly stopped his bicycle in front of Lin Qiuyue and asked her with a smile: "Qiuyue! Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Lin Qiuyue saw Jia Dongming sitting on a bicycle and heard Jia Dongming's question. She replied shyly, "Brother Dongming! I just came out too."

After hearing what Lin Qiuyue said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Qiuyue! Come on up, let's go to the roller skating rink first, and then go to the movies after lunch."

When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming's arrangement, she immediately nodded and replied, "Okay! Brother Dongming! I'll follow your arrangement."

Lin Qiuyue originally thought that after she and Jia Dongming confirmed their relationship, Jia Dongming should find time to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to find her. As a result, she waited and waited, but did not see Jia Dongming come to see her. This made Lin Qiuyue feel that Jia Dongming seemed to not value her a little.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Lin Qiuyue thought about what the older sisters in the supply and marketing cooperative had said, so she tentatively asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! What have you been busy with this week?"

Jia Dongming, who was riding Lin Qiuyue, heard Lin Qiuyue's question without thinking too much. He answered while riding his bicycle: "Qiuyue! I encountered two cases this week, one of which was an enemy spy case. I had to work overtime for several nights in a row."

Lin Qiuyue learned that Jia Dongming didn't come to see her because he was busy with work, not because he didn't value her. She felt much better and asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Brother Dongming! Isn't it the job of the public security to solve cases and catch enemy spies? Why do you, the security department of the steel rolling mill, also want to participate in solving cases and catching enemy spies?"

When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question, he smiled and introduced to Lin Qiuyue: "Qiuyue! Our steel mill security department is responsible for the safety of the factory area as well as the living area. I also serve as the deputy chief of the criminal investigation team of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau, so there will be a lot of things to do."

Lin Qiuyue was very surprised to hear that Jia Dongming was not only the head of the steel mill security department, but also the deputy chief of the criminal investigation team of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau. She asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Brother Dongming! You are also the deputy chief of the criminal investigation team of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau. Why didn't you tell me when we met last time?"

Facing Lin Qiuyue's question, Jia Dongming smiled and replied, "Normally, our security section chief will concurrently serve as the deputy chief of the local police station. Since I just returned from demobilization not long ago, I disrupted a case against enemy spies at the steel mill. The Public Security Bureau awarded me a second-class individual merit, so they promoted me to the deputy chief of the criminal investigation team of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau. This appointment was just issued this week."

People of this era especially worship heroes. When Lin Qiuyue learned that Jia Dongming had just won the second-class individual merit, she immediately showed an ecstatic expression on her face. When she looked at Jia Dongming's back, her eyes showed admiration without reservation. She asked Jia Dongming in a tender voice: "Brother Dongming! Can you tell me about your capture of the enemy spy?"

When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's request, he thought that the case of the enemy spy had been closed, so he did not deliberately hide anything from Lin Qiuyue. He told Lin Qiuyue about his appointment to the steel rolling mill and how he discovered the enemy spy in the form of a story.

Lin Qiuyue learned that the enemy spies, in order to disrupt the production of the steel rolling mill, actually dug tunnels and buried a large amount of explosives underground in the special workshop of the steel rolling mill. This really made her secretly sweat for the workers working in the special workshop.

Since today is a rest day, there are a lot of people coming to the roller skating rink to skate. As a result, Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue were unable to rent roller skates at all. They could only sit outside the roller skating rink, watching people skating and chatting about family matters.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for lunch. Jia Dongming smiled and said to Lin Qiuyue: "Qiuyue! Let's go eat mutton hotpot!"

When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming's suggestion and thought about the price of mutton hotpot, she hurriedly said to Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Mutton hotpot is too expensive, how about we just eat something casually?" When Jia Dongming came out of the house in the morning, he thought about what to eat with Lin Qiuyue at noon today, so on the way here, he rode his bicycle while thinking about what delicious food there was in the old city at that time.

Jia Dongming first thought of Donglaishun and Quanjude, which were very famous stores in later generations, so he decided to choose between them. Finally, considering that autumn was about to come, this was the best time to eat mutton, so he thought about eating mutton.

After hearing what Lin Qiuyue said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Qiuyue! Have you forgotten that my monthly salary is more than 100 yuan? It's no problem to eat mutton hotpot once in a while."

When Lin Qiuyue heard what Jia Dongming said and thought about his income, she finally did not oppose Jia Dongming's decision. She sat on the back of Jia Dongming's bicycle and headed towards Wangfujing Street.

Donglaishun was founded in 1903. Although it has been less than a hundred years since its establishment, it is a well-known time-honored brand in Beijing. With the passage of time, this time-honored brand has finally developed into a listed chain catering enterprise.

After the two of them checked in their bicycles, they walked into Donglaishun together. A waiter walked up to them with a menu in his hand and asked expressionlessly, "How many of you are there?"

When Jia Dongming heard the waiter's question and saw his attitude, he couldn't help but compare it with the service industry in later generations. He felt a little speechless, but when he thought of the slogans on the wall that prohibit beating guests without reason, Jia Dongming finally understood why today's waiters are so arrogant.

Facing the waiter's question, Jia Dongming directly ignored the waiter's attitude and answered: "Two people!"

After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, the waiter led Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue to an empty table, put the menu on the table, and asked without any emotion: "What would you like to eat?"

Although Jia Dongming was a little uncomfortable with the waiter's attitude, this was not the future, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said to Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! What do you want to eat?"

When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming's question, she quickly refused, "Brother Dongming! I'll eat whatever you order."

After hearing what Lin Qiuyue said, Jia Dongming did not insist. He picked up the menu and took a look at it. Then he said to the waiter, "Comrade! Give us two pounds of mutton, lamb head, fresh-cut lamb tendon, one plate each of big and small mutton. Oh, and add some cucumber strips."

"Wait! I'll call you later. Go to the counter and get your dishes." When the waiter heard what Jia Dongming ordered, he immediately calculated the prices, collected the money and the ticket, and finally left after saying a few words.

Seeing the waiter's arrogant look, Jia Dongming smiled and asked Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! Is this also the attitude that the counter of your supply and marketing cooperative usually treats customers with?"

Lin Qiuyue didn't feel anything about the waiter's attitude. Facing Jia Dongming's question, Lin Qiuyue smiled and replied, "Normally, no, but occasionally when we are in a bad mood, we will have this attitude."

Except for the copper pot which was brought by the waiter, all other dishes were brought back by Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue from the counter. Although this feeling made Jia Dongming very unhappy, he still tried to adapt himself to the service characteristics of this era.
