Chapter 11: True Fragrance
"Four seasons of wealth, five leaders, six six six!
"Hahaha, drink, drink!
The dim lighting, the proximity to the main road, the noisy sounds, a bunch of bare carcasses blowing wine bottles and slapping the table and punching the table, and laughing loudly without any scruples.
After Ning Ming got used to the high-end and elegant clubs and hotels in later generations, he was very uncomfortable coming to this environment again.
It can be said that it has been at least ten or twenty years since I have eaten a similar roadside stall fly restaurant.
I watched the waiter grab a blackened rag and wipe the paper balls and food scraps on the table directly to the ground, and some flew to the surface of the plastic bench on the side.
Look at the apron that the waiter is wearing around her body, Emma, it is all visible oil stains.
Seeing that the other students sat down as if nothing had happened, Ning Ming slowly sat down despite his general discomfort.
But he deliberately pulled the stool back, away from the disgusting dining table.
There were about seven or eight people here, except for Zhou Tong and a beautiful girl with his sister's hair, he couldn't name them, at most he looked at his face and seemed familiar.
Oh, and Cai Zhanxiang he also knows.
Just met.
"Come on, let's have a toast to commemorate our lost high school career. ”
The peanut pulp was quickly served, everyone poured a full glass, and Zhou Tong, as the initiator, took the lead in raising a glass.
Everyone else raised their glasses in response.
Only Ning Ming was still wiping the cup with a piece of paper.
"Ning Ming, what are you doing?"
A boy looked at it.
As the words fell, the eyes of the others followed suit, focusing on him.
"Ahem, it's nothing, I just saw something in the cup, wipe it. ”
Ning Ming laughed dryly, hurried to use the paper to quickly accumulate in the cup, and then threw it away and poured peanut pulp.
"It's not easy for everyone to be classmates together for so many years, and we'll have to go our separate ways in a few days, but no matter where we are, I hope we can always remember today's friendship with classmates. ”
"Here,,!"
The rudimentary cylindrical glasses of peanut pulp collided and were illuminated by the 5-watt incandescent lamp hanging overhead.
"By the way, after eating for a while, Brother Tong has arranged any activities?"
"That's right. ”
When Zhou Tong heard this, he was stunned, "Look at you, I can do it." ”
"KTV, right?"
"Or ten times in an Internet café?"
"KTV. ”
"Yes, I think KTV is good. ”
"I also think KTV is feasible. ”
It didn't take long for the bottom of the pot to be served.
The mellow butter melts in the red soup under the scorching flame, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Everyone stopped discussing, and the fragrance of fish entering the nasal cavity made Ning Ming forget the diaphragm brought by not being dry and clean, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
The people around him were chatting with each other, and suddenly a boy grabbed the cup and touched Ning Ming's arm, and said loudly: "Anyway, we should practice Ning Ming together." ”
He immediately looked over, "Ning Ming, I heard that you are going abroad in college, I wish you a bright future on the other side of the ocean." ”
"Don't forget us. ”
"yes, haha. ”
Everyone raised their glasses and laughed in unison.
Ning Ming also raised the cup in his hand, listened to the laughter in his ears, raised his neck and drank the peanut pulp, and then spoke, "Thank you, thank you, but I'm not going out, just stay in Jiangzhou, I can still get together often in the future, friends who go to school in other provinces, remember to eat hot pot and come back time, I have a treat." ”
"Haha, you're not going out?"
"I heard you right, that's the Ivy League school of Pennsylvania, the White Eagle Country, a place that many people can't dream of, and you won't go if you don't go??"
"Haha, I'm not reluctant to let you go?"
The harmonious atmosphere made Ning Ming gradually integrate into the current atmosphere, and the whole person was comfortable and comfortable.
He had never experienced such a feeling in his previous life.
Alone, he was busy trying to adapt to the alien culture abroad, and when he returned home, he was squeezed out of almost all his personal time by family affairs.
I didn't attend any class reunions or friends parties, and in the end I was almost alone.
This situation has been lost for a long time~
As the dishes were served, everyone picked up their chopsticks one after another, and the mellow fragrance that came to Ning Ming made Ning Ming forget the unclean environment.
He took a duck intestine and put it in the boiling hot pot oil, took it out after about ten seconds, wrapped it in a sesame oil dish and put it in his mouth.
Every taste bud on the tongue dances a joyful dance at the same time.
This pleasure is fed back to the brain, and a thousand thoughts converge into two words - true fragrance.
Let's chirp, chirp~
Let's chirp, chirp~
The masseter muscles never stopped the whole time, it turned out that the roadside stalls were so delicious, Ning Ming felt that he would come to this kind of place often in the future.
The others were chatting while eating, and he patronized and ate.
As a qualified listener, Ning Ming felt that he should leave the opportunity to speak to others.
Courtesy and humility are Chinese virtues.
"Lao Cai, what is your goal in going to college?"
"The goal: study hard and find a good job in the future. ”
"Cut, I have no ambition, my goal is to soak a few more girls, talk about a few more loves, skip a few more classes, and then, eat a few overlord meals by the way, hehehehe. ”
"It is said that high school life is tight, college life is loose, and I finally passed the college entrance examination, so I must have enjoyed it. ”
"Speaking of falling in love, Zhou Tong, are you ready to fall in love in college?"
"Me?"
Zhou Tong was chatting with Gu Wenjing, the beautiful girl with the younger sister Ning Ming knew, when she heard the chat, she suddenly turned to herself, and suddenly turned her head.
"Yes, are you going to fall in love? Gu Wenjing must not be said, she must be in the mouth of a wolf when she goes to college, a bunch of people are robbing, we are all very curious about you, do you have this plan?"
It was a boy with glasses who spoke, and his lenses kept reflecting the paparazzi-like light of gossip.
At the same time, he also kept taking the opportunity to take advantage of a large number of Gu Wenjing next to Zhou Tong.
The latter lowered his head slightly at the right time, two red clouds flew up on his cheeks, and his clear eyes quietly glanced at Ning Ming, but the latter did not pay attention.
On the contrary, as a melon-eating crowd, Ning Ming's eyes were completely focused on the shiny glasses of the guy who spoke.
The collapse was too bright, and such a thick glass could not hide the commotion released by the eyes behind the lenses.
"Dog's glasses. ”
He shook his head with a smirk, and muttered in his heart,
"Haha? What are you talking about?"
Zhou Tong didn't seem to care about Gu Wenjing's shyness, she glared at her big grin, and responded loudly, "What are you kidding, who dares to fall in love with me? ”
"Brother Tong is domineering!Haha, worthy of my Brother Tong, come, toast you. ”
"Haha, come, respect the domineering Brother Tong!"
Three rounds of drinking.
Ning Ming felt a little hot, got up alone, and came to the side of the road to blow the wind.
Jiangzhou at night is beautiful.
The neon of the city has stained most of the already dark dome red.
He likes to look at the sky when he has nothing to do, so that he can feel how insignificant he is, and his heart can be broadened in it.
"Ning Ming~"
A shy figure hesitated for a moment before coming behind him.
Hearing someone calling himself, Ning Ming also turned around.
"Gu Wenjing?"
He raised the corners of his mouth and squeezed out the proud single dimple on the right side of his face, "What's the matter?"
"I ......"
The girl's eyebrows were shy, her head was slightly lowered, and she stood there with her hands behind her back, wanting to speak and stopping.
"Ha, if you have something, just say it, you can help me. ”
Ning Ming patted his chest quite manly.
"Oh, here's for you. ”
Gu Wenjing took a deep breath hard, as if she had made a great determination, took a step forward and stuffed a thing she didn't know what it was into Ning Ming's hand and fled.
