Chapter 218: The Soup That Came Out
Friday, May 1, Labor Day.
At half past eight last night, Chen Wen fell asleep and woke up naturally.
There is a thick curtain hanging in the middle of the No. 6 of the plus 2 carriage, which is completely opaque, and Chen Wen doesn't know what time it is.
Lifting the curtain a crack, Chen Wen took a clear look at his watch, half past six.
After sleeping for ten hours, Chen Wen was not sleepy at all, and got up to find Su Qianqian.
Passing by the conductor's room in car 11, Chen Wen glanced through the small window on the door, and there was another conductor sitting inside who he had never met, and he didn't know where Sister Liu had gone.
Chen Wen found 11 cars and 5 times, and Su Qianqian was still sleeping.
Chen Wen quietly sat on the folding stool in the aisle, quietly looking at Su Qianqian, who was sleeping like a cat, and felt very sweet in his heart.
At 7 o'clock, Su Qianqian was woken up by the increasingly noisy sound in the carriage.
When he opened his eyes and sat up, Su Qianqian saw Chen Wen at a glance and was very happy.
Chen Wen sat down on the lower bunk, hugged Su Qianqian, and said, "I'll be at the station in a while, you hurry up and go to the toilet, just comb your hair, and don't need to brush your teeth and wash your face." ”
Su Qianqian asked: "How can you do it without brushing your teeth and washing your face, it's very dirty!"
Chen Wen smiled: "I have already seen it when I passed by just now, and there is no water." ”
Su Qianqian was curious: "Why is there no water?"
Chen Wen explained: "There is only one water tank in each carriage, and the water runs out. Okay, don't be curious about this, hurry up to the toilet, the conductor should lock the toilet door and not use it for everyone!"
After a while, Su Qianqian came back from the toilet.
Looking at the messy expression on the beauty's face, Chen Wen knew that the mess in the toilet had disgusted Su Qianqian.
Chen Wen said: "Don't be disgusting. Fortunately, this is a sleeper car, and the next time you will be allowed to sit in a hard seat, it will be called hell on earth. ”
Su Qianqian exhaled a breath, and said with palpitations: "Don't you see, those things in the squatting pit, there is no water to flush, it's terrible!"
Chen Wen smiled: "Before you, I saw it when I went to the toilet. Okay, get out of the car in a while, go directly to my house, and I'll boil water for you to take a bath. My house is quite close to the train station. ”
--------------------------------
Getting off the train was very smooth.
Chen Wen was familiar with the road, and led Su Qianqian to leave Hongcheng Railway Station from the exit.
After leaving the station, the two turned right, walked into Erqi Road, walked 200 meters to the north, passed an almost abandoned freight railway, and then turned left into the railway back street where Chen Wen's house was located.
"Chen Wen, your area has the style of an old city!" Su Qianqian looked around, curious about everything.
When passing by Zhang Juan's tofu shop, there was a group of customers buying soy milk at the door, Zhang Juan was busy at the counter, and didn't see Chen Wen leading Su Qianqian past.
When passing by the shop, the old couple who opened the shop were cleaning, and the old man saw Chen Wen and greeted him warmly, and Chen Wen returned the courtesy.
When passing by the fruit shop, Chen Wen also shouted to each other with acquaintances.
All this made Su Qianqian feel very warm.
Walking up the stairs to the unit, Chen Wen took the key and stabbed open his house, made a gesture of please, and Su Qianqian took the lead in the door.
Su Qianqian stood in the living room, looked around, and thought, "This is where Chen Wen grew up!"
Chen Wen put his luggage and backpack in the open space of the living room, walked into the kitchen and turned on the faucet, put away the old water that had been deposited for many days, and beckoned: "Qianqian, don't look around yet, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll boil water for you to bathe." ”
Su Qianqian brushed his teeth, and Chen Wen boiled bath water.
Chen Wen's house did not install a water heater, but used a manual shower device.
An old 20-liter gasoline drum with the top sawn off to create an opening, four holes drilled around the edges of the opening, strung with iron chains, and a hole drilled in the side near the bottom, where a valved shower with a valve was installed.
Pour hot water into the gasoline drum from the open opening, tie the iron chain to the open string to the rope, the rope passes through a pulley hanging on the toilet wall, pull the rope to lift the gasoline drum into the air, an iron ring is tied to the end of the rope, and a large iron lump with a hook is placed in the ground, hang the iron ring on the hook, and the gasoline barrel will not fall.
Seeing Chen Wen busy with these processes, Su Qianqian was both novel and felt warm in his heart.
Su Qianqian couldn't help but want to kiss Chen Wen, but Chen Wen hurriedly stopped him and said, "After taking the train all night, my body is very dirty, I will wash it after you wash it, and you will kiss you after we have washed it." ”
Su Qianqian pouted and said, "I won't be too lazy to kiss you for a while!"
--------------------------------
Su Qianqian took a shower and went to Chen Wen's bedroom to dress up.
Chen Wen added the freshly boiled water to the gasoline barrel, mixed it with cold water to adjust the temperature, and also went into the bathroom to take a bath.
After the two of them packed up, Chen Wen vacated the bucket bag, put the Chinese cigarette and two woolen sweaters in the duffel bag into the bucket bag, and led Su Qianqian out for breakfast.
In 2019, the railroad backstreet was in decay, but in 1992 it was still thriving.
Chen Wen was familiar with this area, found a soup shop with a particularly good reputation, asked for two servings of egg patty crockpot soup, two cages of xiaolongbao and two servings of mixed noodles, and told the store not to put chili peppers in the mixed noodles.
As soon as he took a sip of soup, Su Qianqian's eyes widened.
After two mouthfuls of soup, Su Qianqian said: "Chen Wen, no wonder you are so particular about drinking soup, you grew up drinking such delicious soup since you were a child!"
Chen Wen said with a smile: "Egg meatloaf soup is the most common variety in Hongcheng crockpot soup, and I will let you try other flavors tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
Su Qianqian drank the soup and asked, "This soup is packed in a small crockpot, is it steamed?"
Chen Wen said: "It is packed in a small clay pot, but it is not steamed, but the small clay pot is put into a large clay pot and roasted with fire. ”
Su Qianqian was surprised: "Wow! There is such a peculiar method!"
Chen Wen stretched out his hand and said, "Look, the corner is the big crockpot, more than a hundred small crockpots are placed in it, the big crockpot is heated by fire, and after roasting it all night, it will become the soup you are drinking." ”
While he was talking, the proprietress brought two bowls of mixed noodles.
Although Chen Wen had told him not to put chili peppers, the large bowl they used to mix them was stained with chili oil left over from the previous operation.
Just a little chili oil also caught Su Qianqian off guard.
Su Qianqian sighed and said: "This mixed noodles are really delicious, although it is very spicy, it is still delicious." ”
After speaking, Su Qianqian gritted his teeth and took a big bite.
