Chapter 252: A Little Shop Hidden in an Alley
"What house?" Zhou Hao now adheres to the good habit of asking if he doesn't understand.
This can stop Chen Xin. The term "otaku otaku" did not appear until a few years later, when the Internet became an indispensable necessity in people's daily lives, and now those teenagers who are extremely obsessed with Japan and South Korea usually refer to "otaku", and this "otaku" is not exactly the same as "otaku".
Chen Xin explained a little to Zhou Hao, saying that this kind of life made her not want to go out, and just wanted to stay at home and spend a leisurely time, Zhou Hao frowned and objected.
"People are social creatures, and if you don't have contact with people for a long time, you will have mental diseases. ”
Hearing him say this righteously, Chen Xin really didn't know how to refute it. Although the house is not a heinous thing, it is similar to what Zhou Hao said, the house will be prone to "social fear" to a certain extent, and it will be extremely harmful to the body and psychology.
However, in fact, she just said that, it is a yearning for a life without worries about "staycation", where can she really stay at home and not go out to work? It can only be said that there is still a generation gap between the two people's thinking, and this generation gap is brought about by different life experiences and insights, and can only run in and cannot force one party to obey the other.
It's useless to explain to him now, only when that day comes, the other party will naturally understand without her explanation.
After cleaning up, the two took a shower and changed their clothes, rested for a while, and then went out for a walk holding hands at six o'clock in the evening.
No one knew them here, Chen Xin changed into a floral cheongsam, pulled up her hair and forked a wooden hairpin. This hairpin is still a New Year's gift from the classmate next door. The wooden hairpin is polished by hand, and the pearls inlaid at the end are also locally produced freshwater pearls, which are not large and very cheap, he bought them to pick out the uniform size, and then went to the factory to drill holes with tools, fixed the shape of the fishing line, and finally beat the shape of the leaf with chrome-plated copper sheets, and made the base of the pearl flower.
"This hairpin is beautiful, when did you buy it. Zhou Hao helped insert the hairpin, took a look, and complemented the beauty.
"This is a New Year's gift from Guo Jian, it's beautiful. Chen Xin looked in the mirror, looking left and right.
After a while, I didn't hear Zhou Hao's voice, and when I looked up, I saw someone like a lemon, and the corners of his mouth were pulled down.
"What a look on your face? Chen Xin was stunned for a moment and reacted, and sneered, "Xiaojian has a girlfriend, and this pearl flower was instructed by his girlfriend to make it." ”
"Xiaojian should come back in the evening, and take you to him when we finish eating. Don't look at the flesh of others, the fingers are flexible, and the small wooden screen he made is like a work of art. However, his father's uncle has better craftsmanship, but he only makes doors. I'll take you to see it another day, and I'm really looking for words that don't praise them to describe the old craftsmen of their generation. ”
Zhou Hao held back his sour heart and went to the street with Chen Xin, until many people smiled at them, and some people called them talented women, Zhou Hao laughed happily.
Because Zhou Hao was together, Chen Xin gave him the task of taking pictures. Fortunately, Zhou Hao's straight male aesthetic is not too exaggerated, with his brother Zhou Sheng's subtle presence, plus the blessing of the lover filter, although the photos he took do not have various smart filters in later generations, they also look beautiful and beautiful.
There aren't many snack shops in the town, but it's much more lively than in previous years. Chen Xin took Zhou Hao around in a circle, found a quiet-looking house and pushed the door in.
"What kind of place is this? You just go in there. ”
"It's a noodle shop, but only locals know about it, and when I first came here, Kuang Jian and his girlfriend brought me here. Pull Zhou Hao in, bypass the shadow wall, and see that there are four small square tables in the small courtyard, and the wings on the left and right sides have also been transformed, only the half-height window sill is just flush with the table inside, and then the old-fashioned wooden window is supported with a strut, which can not only avoid rain drifting into the window, but also can be used as a shade.
"Hey, Xiaoxin, when did you come?" The busy woman at the counter had a big belly, and hurriedly greeted Chen Xin when she saw her coming, "This is your boyfriend? ”
"Tongtong, you have such a big belly, are you about to give birth?" Chen Xin introduced the two, and then looked at Tongtong's big belly with a shocked face, "What is the due date?"
"It's in mid-August, but the twins I was pregnant, the doctor said it might be earlier. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for a prenatal checkup. ”
Tongtong's figure is slim, even if she has a big belly, you can see from behind how she was a bewitching girl when she was not pregnant.
"The old rule, you look at it, just give it up, and a few snacks, we didn't eat much at noon, Haozi is probably hungry. ”
"Okay, you wait first, I'll go and tell my house a mouth. Tongtong went to the backyard with a flexible body, and he couldn't tell that he was about to give birth.
"Tongtong is the proprietress of this shop, I didn't see her when I first took me here for dinner, and then I helped her by chance on the way, and only then did I know that she was the proprietress here when I sent her home. After that, every time I came over, I would come to eat her noodles. You'll find out when you eat it later, and you'll want to swallow your tongue in it. ”
Their noodle soup is clear and white, and there is a piece of meat that has been fried and marinated in the old marinade and is soft and rotten. The meat is sprinkled with a little green onion, which makes people swallow when they look at it.
Radish shredded cake, mille-feuille crisp, and noodle chicken are the specialties of Tongtong men. Although these three things cannot be regarded as dishes strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as snacks, but the diners who come to her house to eat noodles basically have to eat with these three things.
There are also Tongtong's best noodle fish and cold dried shreds, but because of her big belly, she hasn't cooked in person for a long time.
She originally planned to make one for Zhou Hao, but Chen Xin and Zhou Hao didn't allow her to go, saying that it wasn't that she wouldn't come in the future, so there was no need to let her work now.
"It's okay to be tired of you, if you're tired of my little nephew and little niece, I'll be distressed to death. ”
Chen Xin sandwiched a piece of radish cake for Zhou Hao, dipped it in Tongtong's secret dipping water for him to taste, and as soon as he entered his mouth, the sweet and spicy fragrance of the shredded radish and the fruity light vinegar wrapped in the dough made his taste buds completely awake.
"This vinegar is Tongtong's own fruit vinegar, there are two kinds of apple cider vinegar and plum vinegar. Even if you don't use it to mix vegetables, diluting it with water and drinking a small cup every day is also good for your body. I told her when she made vinegar this year, brewed more, and when the time came, we would take some back and give it away. ”
Of course, she won't take the Tongtong family's things for nothing, and in return, Chen Xin promised to help her make sauce. Now that there are more and more tourists from outside the town, and the tastes are complex, most of the guests will not come back after tasting only one taste, unless there is a taste that makes them feel fresh every time, so that these travelers will allocate the few meal hours to them.
