Chapter 12 Eating
Causeway Bay and Sha Tin are only more than ten kilometers apart. Xu said he would wait half an hour, but in fact he would arrive in just over ten minutes.
Qiao Yadan held an umbrella and helped Fang Xiao block the rain. After he put the guitar in the trunk, he sat in the back seat of MINI.
"How is the interview between you two?"
"I'm just like that, Fang Xiao is so excited." Qiao Yadan and Xun seemed to have a good relationship. She smiled and said, "I'm very hungry, he's sure to win."
Xun looked at Fang Xiao through the rearview mirror and said, "Fang Xiao's song "Nanping Evening Bell" is really nice, and it is played well."
""Nanping Evening Bell"?" Qiao Yadan was surprised and looked at Fang Xiao, and said, "He didn't play "Nanping Evening Bell". He wrote three songs on the spot."
The car that had only been driven for a few dozen meters, and suddenly stopped on the side of the road. He turned around, looked at Fang Xiao with his eyebrows raised, and the seat belt made a thrilling and wonderful curve.
"It's just a few jokes." Fang Xiao pretended to be calm and said with a disgusting taste: "It's not a song."
"What song?"
"Spoken song." Fang Xiao laughed, pointing to the warning sign at the intersection in front and said, "You can't park here, be careful of the ticket."
Xu stared at him for a few seconds before turning back and continuing to drive.
"Xiao Ke, why are you doing such an exaggerated reaction?" Qiao Yadan asked half-truely: "Are you two getting along?"
"Who will fall in love with him, a famous goose in the school." Xun sneered, and then said, "When he came in the morning, he said he wanted to write a song for my band, so he was a little excited. How about the song he wrote on the spot?"
"It's very good, the lyrics and music are all good, and the lingering sound is lingering around. I still remember it." Qiao Yadan used his fingers to slid around the air, humming the notes of Lalalala, and said, "It's probably that."
She hummed the last paragraph of "Change 1995", which is the most beautiful musical melody among the three songs. Xu Xu is also an expert. After listening to it, she immediately said, "Fang Xiao, sing it to me."
"No, please." Fang Xiao said to him, "Please, have you eaten? If you don't eat, find a place to eat first. I'll treat you at noon."
Just like ordinary girls like to act coquettishly and entangle, Fang Xiao doesn't sing, so she no longer forces herself and concentrates on driving. She quickly finds a restaurant that looks pretty good.
It was raining heavily and there were very few people in the restaurant. The three of them found a corner by the window to sit down. Fang Xiao picked up the menu and looked at it. After smiling bitterly, he said, "Two ladies, I'm sorry, I can't afford to treat this meal. Have you brought the money? If you don't bring the money, leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be deducted and settled."
"Stingy." Qiao Yadan flipped through the menu and said, "It's not very expensive. You won't even have four or five hundred yuan, right?"
"My whole family is only 1,100 yuan." Fang Xiao was very bachelor, and did not hide his embarrassment. He said, "After this meal, I will be a pauper. When I find a way to make money, I will invite two of you."
"I'll pay." The permission waved, asked the waiter to come over, and said, "Just congratulations to you on your successful interview today."
"That's good." Qiao Yadan was not polite, and said with a smile: "Fang Xiao treats, I also have to consider whether to save some food. Xiao Ke treats, so he has to open it. Anyway, you will not be able to eat poorly."
The permission is just a smile.
Qiao Yadan said it exaggeratedly, but only ordered two very cheap home-cooked dishes. Fang Xiao didn't have high requirements for eating, so he ordered one dish casually, and allowed two more special dishes. Even so, the price of this meal exceeded 500.
Fang Xiao said before that he was treating a meal, and he only planned to come to a place of one or two hundred, but he didn't notice that there were many high-end communities near Shatin, and the consumption level was higher than that near the university town. With his shriveled wallet, it was really hard to make money from the guitar - if he wanted to make money from the guitar, he had to have a guitar first? For the 1,100 yuan, he had to keep at least seven or eight hundred to buy a decent second-hand guitar.
"Fang Xiao." After the waiter left, Xun said, "Are you free in the afternoon? If you have time, go to the singing room to play your "Nanping Evening Bell" again, I want to record it."
"Did Shi Lilin ask you to record it? Liu already told me in the morning."
"Does Arlene want to record too?" Xu Xu smiled and said, "She and I have thought of it together. I think you adapted it very well and plan to use it as a reference."
"Liu said she wanted to use it as a ringtone for her cell phone."
"This Arlene is heartless!" Xun laughed and cursed, saying, "I'm so worried about the band. She's still just flirting with Liu all day long."
Qiao Yadan's eyes turned and said, "Fang Xiao's "Nanping Evening Bell" is different from Professor Wang's one?"
Professor Wang is Wang Fuling, the original author of "Nanping Evening Bell". In Fang Xiao's previous life, he worked for Shaw Brothers Film Company, but he did not have Shaw Brothers in this life, so he went to Southern Normal University as a teacher in the 1950s. Before his death in the early 1990s, he was a signature figure in the music department of South Normal University.
"The song is the same, but he adapted it into a guitar song, which is very good." Xun looked at Fang Xiao, smiled, and said, "He played it very well. Yadan, did he shake his head when he was interviewing today?"
Qiao Yadan probably thought of his finger-knocking action, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "It's not like shaking your head, but there are indeed many small movements, and it's very fun."
Then she also imitated the little girl, lowered her head, raised her hand, and snapped her fingers. However, as soon as she moved, the waiter came over and asked, "What do you need?"
Fang Xiao laughed loudly, Qiao Yadan was embarrassed, she sent the waiter away, and then explained to the inexplicable permission, saying, "Fang Xiao did the movements I did just now during the interview, but I couldn't learn them. When he did it, it was very interesting, and it made the little girls participating in the interview confused."
Fang Xiao was very quiet in this meal, and he ate a lot, allowing the two girls to chatter and talk about his past scandals, and learned a lot of useful information from it.
It was okay that he spoke simply, but he didn't say a word he shouldn't say. Qiao Yadan was very direct and spoke without mercy, almost completely shattering the past between him and Tang Yiyi.
In short, Tang Yiyi is very beautiful and greedy. She is flirting with her and pretending to be a pure goddess on campus. She specially chose Fang Xiao as a shield to eat and drink his, but she never let him touch her. Fang Xiao himself was stupid and stupid, and had no opinion. The goddess smiled and was so happy that she couldn't find the North. She served her in various ways. She would rather eat bran than invite the goddess to eat meat...
After knowing this information, Fang Xiao was confident that he met Tang Yiyi and knew how to deal with it. Of course, he hoped that both parties would not meet each other from now on. He only inherited his body and did not inherit his memory. He only needed to be responsible for the family affection of his ex, and there was no need to wipe his butt for his ex's confused love.
While licensing payment, Qiao Yadan asked, "Fang Xiao, how do you plan to make money?"
"I don't know." Fang Xiao stood up with her and said, "How about going to Victoria Harbor to sing? I saw that there were many people there at night."
Victoria Harbor is Victoria Harbor. After taking back Hong Kong in 1949, in order to eliminate the colonial color, a major change of name was set off. All of them were changed, such as "Zhada Road", "Hennessy Road", "Emperor Road", etc., Victoria Harbor did not escape the fate of being renamed and became a "peacekeeping port", which means "maintaining world peace". However, during the reform and opening up in the 1980s, in order to integrate with the "world", it changed its original name again, but few people have called it the full name, and they are generally called Victoria Harbor.
The Victoria Harbor mentioned by Fang Xiao specifically refers to a pedestrian street near the port, which is probably similar to the Avenue of Stars in his previous life. He read online that there were many people performing their talents at night, including singing, dancing, painting, and earning good income.
For him who has no capital and no connections, this is the lowest cost and the fastest way to make money, and at least it can solve the problem of eating.
Xu was surprised by his words and asked, "Are you short of money?"
"It's not that it's not that it's very lacking." Fang Xiao smiled and said, "I used to be ignorant and spent money randomly. Now it's not easy to ask my family for it, so I'm going to find something to do, which can be considered accumulating experience for my future work."
The permission was to collect changes, stand up, and walk out, and say, "There is no need to go to the streets to sing. With your guitar level, it's easy to find a bar or restaurant and other performance places. There is no need to go to Victoria Harbor, it's too messy there."
"If you look for a bar, where can you find it?"
Xu glanced at Qiao Yadan and said, "You ask her, she is an expert."
Qiao Yadan just smiled and waited to get back to the car before saying, "Fang Xiao, if you really want to go out and make money, I know a bar manager and can take you to try it."
"That's great." Bar performances don't have to be blown away from the wind and rain, and it's an old job. Fang Xiao is absolutely invincible. He asked, "When will you go?"
"Are you so anxious?"
"When a man has no money in his pocket, he will be more anxious than a groom who enters the bridal chamber but cannot untie his belt."
Xu held back his laughter and spat at him, while Qiao Yadan laughed wildly and said, "Then I will take you there tomorrow, and I will call you then."
"Thank you."
Anyway, I had nothing to do when I returned to school. Fang Xiao went directly to the singing room that I rented and recorded "Nanping Evening Bell". The sound insulation effect of the singing room was good, and the licensed high-end recorder was also used. After recording it once, I listened to it and felt that the effect was very good.
"It's almost done." Fang Xiao put down the guitar and said, "It's just like that if you play it again."
Xu nodded, but Qiao Yadan took out his cell phone, turned on the camera function, and said, "I'll record a video for you once."
"No, right?"
