Yin Jie led the man into the ice cream shop on the street, looked at the bucket of ice cream on the counter and swallowed secretly. The man inadvertently raised his eyes to look out, and said in surprise: "It seems that there is also an ice cream shop opposite?"

Yin Jie nodded and said, "That's right." It's interesting to see these two stores face to face. Our shop is a native of Hausen, and now it's the second generation. You know that the locals are very united, and everyone can't help but choose this shop. The one opposite was founded by a Dutch immigrant here, and the taste is also very distinctive. Let's help the locals with this store today. ”

The man couldn't help but smile. He said, "Isn't the shop across the street pathetic?

"Of course not, the people of Hausen are not xenophobic. Of course, locals will visit us more often if they have feelings for us, but that doesn't mean they don't go to the other side at all. There's a bit of a joke in what I just said. "The local government has provided a series of preferential policies for investors in Haosen, one of which is that the local government will use its own resources to help the new company obtain the first contract, so that the new company can obtain the first credit history in country S through this project, which will be helpful for their future business development in country S and even in Western European countries." ”

The man's expression moved slightly: "This policy is quite novel, and it is quite intimate to investors." ”

"Not really. Yin Jie pointed to the shop opposite, "In addition to high-tech, logistics, and modern business services, tourism is also an important pillar industry in Haosen Prefecture." You see, aren't a lot of people coming across the street to buy ice cream these days? Many people from other countries in the EU come across the border every year to work, and they only focus on taste. Therefore, as long as the product quality is good, there is no need to worry about sales. ”

The man was a little impulsive and wanted to ask Yin Jie's work unit and name, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Meeting in a foreign land is a fate, but there is no need to forcibly continue this fate. In fact, sealing this memory in this beautiful town may be the best choice.

Yin Jie chose another flavor of chocolate ice cream, and the man chose a strawberry milk cake. Yin Jie was a little funny in his heart, his choice was so feminine. As soon as she was about to make a joke, she thought that maybe it was the taste that his deceased wife liked, so she didn't say anything more. It is the most unkind to inadvertently provoke other people's sadness.

The man said, "It seems that you particularly like the taste of chocolate." Has it always been like this?"

Yin Jie squinted his eyes and said casually, "Yes, my husband and I both like the taste of chocolate." Doesn't it mean that when you taste chocolate, you are actually tasting happiness?"

The man asked with interest, "What do you mean by that?"

Yin Jie said leisurely: "What is it like to be happy? Life is full of pain. Then the real happiness must have a trace of bitterness, and at the same time be able to taste sweetness and fragrance from the bitterness. Isn't that what chocolate tastes like?"

"There is a lot of truth to that. The man laughed. Yin Jie took a few serious glances and found that he was wearing a "mammoth" outdoor suit, and his demeanor was elegant and smooth. After sweeping away the depression all over his body, the whole person has stretched eyebrows, handsome facial features, and looks quite handsome, and he has a kind of atmosphere and calmness that is accustomed to being in power. Yin Jie was surprised that her mood had such a great impact on her appearance and temperament! She was now completely unable to connect the calm man in front of her with the man with depressed features before.

They each walked out of the store with an ice cream. Yin Jie asked the man about his itinerary and learned that he only needed to check in at Surik's hotel in the evening. She thought about it for a while and decided to invite him to visit the market with her, and also took the opportunity to help him evacuate his mood.

"For locals, the bazaar is a great place to relax on the weekend. For outsiders like you and me, the bazaar is the best place to experience life here. Didn't you say you want to go all the way and experience it all the way, do you want to experience it here with me?"

The man understood what she meant, and nodded yes. The two simply exchanged their names for ease of salutation, and then began to act under the guidance of Yin Jie.

The market is quite large and is divided into four different areas, namely the Fruit & Vegetables & Groceries section, the Snacks & Delicatessen section, the art section, and the second-hand market. The man's name was Wen Wenwei. Because he was depressed, he hadn't eaten anything in the morning. Yin Jie first took him to the snack market and introduced him to pear ravioli, cholera pie (a delicious dim sum with a terrible name), cheese noodles and St. Gallen sausages. Luckily, Mr. Wen's appetite lived up to expectations, and he swept away the food to the accompaniment of music from street artists. Later, he tasted a Buender soup, but after drinking the bowl of soup, he honestly said that he could skip lunch today.

The two then went to the Arts District. There are about 40-50 artists and craftsmen setting up their stalls. In front of and after each booth, small paintings of various styles or clay sculptures and other works of art were placed in front of and behind each booth. Some of the painters have chairs in front of their booths where they can create portraits of guests. In addition, handicraft stalls are full of exquisite and attractive handicrafts such as snuff bottles, garden sculptures, handmade leather goods, wool goods, etc. Yin Jie finds the variety of Haosen souvenirs and works of art here much more interesting than what you can buy in the supermarket. She pays the most attention to the garden sculptures, some of which are beautiful and elegant, and some of which are made in a simple and cute way. She stared at a vivid sculpture of a fawn, pondering the feasibility of taking it back to China and putting it in her own courtyard. In addition, what attracted her the most was the handmade jewelry stalls. She picked and chose two red coral necklaces, fifteen delicate and distinctive lace necklaces (gifts for friends such as Zhao Min'er), and two clumsy leather bracelets. When he came to the painter's booth, Yin Jie encouraged Wen Wenwei to paint a portrait as a souvenir of the trip. After a moment's thought, he agreed, pulled a photograph out of his bosom, and asked the painter to draw him and the woman in the photograph together. Yin Jie watched from the sidelines, and his heart was filled with a complex feeling of sourness and relief. Under the sun, the woman in the photograph is gentle and beautiful, and the man opposite him who is missing his deceased wife is handsome and affectionate, and the two gradually appear on the canvas under the skillful hand of the painter, and the two are perfectly matched.

Wen Wenwei was very happy to see the painting, and he watched very gently as the painter received it into the microphone. Then he told Yin Jie that every time he walked through a place in the future, he would ask a local painter to help him paint such a picture, and paint the local scenery with the couple.

The two slowly walked to the second-hand market. There are a lot of stalls here, and the goods are especially rich, and it can be called a wide variety of products. Whatever you want, you can probably find it here. The stalls are filled with antiques, gemstones, jade, coral, handicrafts from all over the world, from household antique candlesticks, fine fabrics, colorful bronzes, to antique and nostalgic saxophones, jukeboxes, old films, old telephones, and second-hand typewriters. There are wooden drums, wooden flutes, woolen shawls, cloaks, and elaborate lace from Africa or South America, as well as old photographs, old prints, antique furniture, portraits of celebrities, decorative lamps, and cameras from mainland Europe, as well as wool carpets, hookahs, vases, porcelain bowls, and tea cans from Budapest,... ...。 The price of each item ranges from reasonable to very expensive (from 2 euros to 1000 euros), depending on your eyesight and negotiation skills. Yin Jie is influenced by the godly Ivy, a little superstitious, and is more taboo about old things, but she likes to watch. Wen Wenwei bought two old prints.

At this point, both of them felt a little tired, so they returned to the Vordergasse café in the snack area, ordered a cappuccino, and took the opportunity to rest after sipping delicious coffee.

After a short rest, the two went to the fruit and vegetable section. Yin Jie met his grandmother who sold strawberries yesterday. The old lady smiled when she saw her, and pulled her with a smile to ask about the taste of yesterday's strawberries. After some politeness, Yin Jie and the two each bought a large bag of strawberries, and Yin Jie also bought a bunch of tomatoes from his grandmother. That's right, it's a bunch, the fruit is full and round, like a work of art, and the tomatoes have not yet been picked from the green vines, so they are sold in bunches.

The produce market is crowded with people, and people are used to spending time with old friends on weekends while shopping for a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Although the price is slightly more expensive than that of the supermarket, the product is much fresher. You can also find a variety of unique cooking spices, seasonal flowers, cheeses and local produce such as strawberry jam and wild leek sauce.

In front of the stall selling meat products, Yin Jie saw Lin Xia.

Before she could make a decision to avoid or come forward to say hello, Lin Xia walked straight towards her.

"Evita, you're bringing your friends to the market. Who is this?" Lin Xia asked, with an inexplicable interest in her eyes.

Yin Jie introduced Wen Wenwei to her, saying that this is his university alumnus.

Wen Wenwei's face did not move, as if this was the case. He stretched out his hand to Lin Xia very politely:

"I just arrived in Stuttgart yesterday and drove all the way down this morning, but I didn't expect to meet Yin Jie here. ”

"It seems that this is the will of heaven!" Lin Xia laughed.

Yin Jie knew that Lin Xia had misunderstood, but this "deliberate" misunderstanding made her angry. It's just that Wen Wenwei's explanation is just right, and if she explains, it may become darker and darker.

She coldly stopped talking.

Lin Xia saw that she was unhappy, so she immediately snorted and said, "I still have to leave beforehand, so I won't disturb your alumni reunion." Evita, treat your alumni well. ”

Yin Jie let out a "hmm" and glanced at her coldly. Lin Xia walked away without changing her face.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have caused you trouble. Wen Wenwei said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. Yin Jie's expression softened a little, "Actually, we are indeed alumni, I just heard you recognize it from Sakura Avenue." Reacquaint myself with Yin Jie from the Department of Physics in the class of '04. ”

Wen Wenwei shook her hand in surprise: "What a coincidence! I am Wen Wenwei from the Computer Science Department of the Class of '88. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On the same day, when Wen Wenwei left, the two exchanged contact information, and agreed that Wen Wenwei would reunite next time he came to Beijing, and Yin Jie would bring He Yuxin with him.
