"Oh, little brother, can you taste this? Haha, I won't tell you, I've been begging for a long time to worship a teacher, and I have studied for many years to come out to make a living!" The middle-aged uncle was quite proud.

"Then it will naturally come out! I have nothing else to do, but my mouth is more tricky!"

Chu looked at the uncle with a smile.

"Speaking of the origin of this tofu brain, it should be traced back to the era of the Han Dynasty in China. At that time, the king of Huainan summoned his disciples and lit a raging fire at the foot of Bagong Mountain, in order to seek the elixir of immortality. The prince and nobleman who prefer to eat actually changed the method of this tofu with ingenuity, and thus there is the prototype of tofu brain. ”

"Little brother, do you know all this?" The uncle was really interested this time, these histories were first taught to him by the master when he was lecturing and teaching, but he never thought that this young man would also know.

"I know a little, uncle. There is some introduction to it in "One Hundred Songs of Food in the Ancient Capital". Sure enough, a beautiful woman is called a half-old, and she is still scratching her head and making a grace. Since ancient times, food and culture have been inseparable, so later generations have combined the two to form a comprehensive inheritance model of 'food culture'. ”

Chu is delicious! Everything and everything that has been bred by the profound cultural heritage of China are wonderful, and these wonderful things have either been forgotten, or protected by others, or spurned by others.

After all, no matter how beautiful things are, once they cannot bring about the corresponding economic effects, they will be ruthlessly rolled by the wheels of history driven by the productive forces of society, and some of them will not even have the slightest scum left!

"Good boy! You really impress my uncle! Nowadays, children of your size are nothing more than addicted to the world of games. A little better, but also avoid not coming to play. But when I saw you today, I really opened my eyes!" the uncle gave Chu a thumbs up.

Chu clenched his fists slightly, which was regarded as a return gift. "Uncle, this tastes, the vegetable box should be fine, please ......"

"Hey, I've heard you say!" the uncle patted his forehead, and then ran back to the stall happily.

At this moment, the proprietress had already taken out the vegetable box and was placing it in an empty iron basket to control the oil. "You, the conversation is not over again, hurry up and send it to these young men, it won't taste good if it's cold!"

"Come on!" the uncle brought up all the things that Chu had ordered later. He divided them into several plates, and the table was full of them.

It was getting brighter, and there weren't many people coming and going. After the boss greeted a few other new customers, he sat on Mazha and leaned against Chu not far to rest. He was sitting facing Chu, always wanting to ask something, or want to hear something.

"Young man, I don't think you're an ordinary person. It is said that at your age, the dress must be for the pursuit of famous brands to show your dignity, but you and your brothers are a little different. ”

Few of Chu's brothers cared about what they were wearing, and in Jiang Wu's words, they were a group of turtles.

These guys in Murano, everyone's standard is an old Beijing cloth shoe. When Ding Li heard Jiang Wu's suggestion, she almost jumped up and hit him. If it weren't for seeing Chu also wearing the same cloth shoes, Ding Li would not have agreed to be killed.

"There's nothing wrong with indulging yourself at the right age. But, uncle, you're really looking away this time. A few of us just don't have money, you look at these people, one can eat more than the other. Even if there is rice at home, it won't be enough for these goods to eat!" Chu pointed to a few guys who were drinking energetically.

Jiang Hu and the others were a little afraid of Chu from the bottom of their hearts, and when they heard this, they immediately put the bowl on the table. Then, a few guys looked at the tofu brain in front of them, sticking out their tongues and licking their lips constantly, obviously not having eaten their entire meals.

"Look at the scare of these children, your prestige on weekdays is enough!" The uncle took out the small porcelain basin on the side and added some to Jiang Hu's bowls. "Eat, eat, it's not much money!"

Jiang Hu and the others were still sitting very neatly, staring at the breakfast in front of them, not squinting, and quietly waiting for Chu to speak.

"Eat! I've told you a few times so many times, don't be so nervous. Chu waved his hand, he wanted to say more, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Hu and them lying on the table and eating.

"You are not an ordinary person, although I have no experience, but I have also seen all kinds of people over the years. You're definitely not your average person. ”

The uncle took out half a box of cigarettes from his arms, the cigarettes were Hongtashan brand, white soft boxes, seven yuan a box, which was a very cheap kind. The uncle took out two cigarettes from it, with the cigarette butt facing up, and handed it to Chu.

Chu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have this hobby. "Uncle, how many children are there in the family, are they all still in school?"

"There's only one child at home. It's not the epidemic now, and the children don't go to class, so they can only read books at home. Uncle sighed.

"Yes, I don't know when this epidemic will pass. But what the hell is going on? How could it suddenly erupt?" Chu asked casually.

"Hey, don't say it, this thing is really hanging!" The uncle moved the stool to Chu's side. "I remember the earlier days, there was a group of people about the same number as you. ”

"Oh?" Chu ate the last bite of the vegetable box, then took a piece of paper and wiped the oil on his hands.

"Hmm. But they're a lot older than you. While they were eating here, they chatted a little bit about the mountains. Listening to their accents, I always feel that these people are not from our Jiangcheng. The uncle held his chin and thought about it.

"Uncle, why didn't you look for a police uncle at that time?" Jiang Wu also ate.

"What kind of policeman uncle! They just don't have the right accent, and they don't do anything else. You can't come to me to eat here, and you have to call the police if you have breakfast, right?" the uncle smiled wryly.

"That's right!" Jiang Wu casually wiped the oil from his mouth.

"I didn't have any suspicions, but then the men among them came several times. I've listened to it on and off many times, and now that I'm piecing it together, I don't think these guys are good people. At the beginning, they said what would happen after the epidemic in Jiangcheng, what would happen. ”

Uncle recalled. "You know, there were no signs of the epidemic at that time!"

"Oh, uncle, do you know what the name of the mountain range they say?"

"Yes, Yishan. In our direction to the east, after leaving the city, about ten miles or so. "Uncle has practiced stalls in the streets and alleys, and he is still very familiar with the environment around Jiangcheng.

In the uncle's description, Chu had a big outline of the entire appearance of Yishan. He patted Jiang Wu on the shoulder and motioned not to forget to pay.

"Have you eaten well?" Jiang Wu asked.

"Eat, eat, eat well, eat well!" Jiang Hu ate the fastest, never stopping from beginning to end. Jiang Wu nodded, and then looked at Jiang Wolf still eating there.

"You, wait a little, wait for me a little, Brother Wu, I can do it in a minute, a minute. Jiang Wolf was still choking on buns in his mouth and holding a vegetable box in his hand.

Chu shook his head, "You let him eat it well, finish eating, and then arrange for them to go back." I'll go back to my lodgings first. Chu looked at the uncle, "Uncle, are you ready to pack it early?"

"Ready, ready. Haha, come, young man, don't shake it too much when you carry it, this tofu brain won't look good when it is scattered. The uncle handed the packed breakfast to Chu.

"Okay, don't worry, uncle! Good rules, money can't be less!" Chu patted the uncle's shoulder and turned to leave.

The smile on the uncle's face had not disappeared, and he looked at the back of the young man who had gone away. The young man's steps were steady, but not slow, and the breakfast he was carrying in his hand did not shake in the slightest. "This young man is amazing, he is so fast, and his shoes are not dusty. ”

"You don't understand, uncle. The eldest brother of our family can not care about anything, except that the cloth shoes under his feet can't be dirty. Jiang Wu put the money in his uncle's hands. Then, he turned back to the guys and said hello. "Gone!"

A series of "Goodbye, uncle!" made the stall owner wave his hand non-stop. When this group of energetic teenagers finally disappeared from the uncle's field of vision, the proprietress came over. "Husband, these children are really different. You ......"

The uncle turned his head, and the tableware on the stall had been brushed and placed in the plastic basket. Next to the plastic basket are several packets of Chinese medicine, on which is written a note about the use of Chinese medicine.

"Wife, put away the Chinese medicine, it's time for us to go home. The uncle tidied up the stall, pulled up the cart, and went back with the proprietress with him.

The sky is gradually brightening, and it is impossible for the small stalls and vendors in the entire Jiangcheng to continue to set up stalls. They took advantage of the haze of the early morning to earn some scattered money to subsidize their families, but they were not willing to continue to add the slightest trouble to **.

The uncle pedaled the tricycle, and from time to time he would look back at the intersection not far away. He didn't know when the next time he would see the boy in the cloth shoes, but he knew that the shadow of the boy in the cloth shoes had been difficult to disappear from his mind.
