"Haiwanju" is a time-honored brand in Longdu, mainly dealing in some traditional delicacies that Longdu people have loved for generations, such as bean juice, fried coke rings, sesame tofu, fried sausage, tea soup, fried sauce noodles, paste cakes, paste dumplings, mustard dun, bean sauce, and belly popping...... According to the shopkeeper, it is not out of shape at all according to the appearance of the ancestors.

Including digging some to sort out some of the delicacies of the past, fried triangles, sheep cream sausages...... Let the long-extinct Longdu flavor snacks reappear on the table, dried fruits, fried red fruits and other snacks, now taste sweet and sour, as well as the red stewed pig's trotters, roast mutton, braised pork ribs, stewed yellow croaker...... There are all kinds of old-fashioned home-cooked dishes, showing the authentic Longdu characteristic dining culture.

The waiters here wear cardigans, round black cloth shoes, melon skin hats, and handkerchiefs on their shoulders. The standard folk attire of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with Cui Ning and Xiang Yuzhen, came to the marble table of the Eight Immortals, sat on the bench of red lacquered solid wood, watched the "Qingming Riverside Map", listened to the traditional drum, and really had some retro taste.

Listening to the waiter's deliberate loud shouting "Coming, you, a few, please inside", Cui Ning and Xiang Yuzhen came to a private seat, which is located in the Longdu "East Fourth Archway" store of Haiwanju, in fact, in addition to the traditional Longdu cuisine, there are also some improved local dishes, but most of them are still based on northern cuisine.

The reason why Xiang Yuzhen chose this shop is because there is a very quiet private room, which is suitable for two people to enjoy their favorite food slowly, after all, there are more than 200 dishes, there are always a few dishes that they like, and the price is also affordable, although Cui Ning's brother is rich, but he also has to learn to live, this is what Aunt Huang said to Xiang Yuzhen, and it is also the concept of life recognized by Xiang Yuzhen.

"How about it?, isn't this place interesting?" Xiang Yuzhen looked at Cui Ning studying the bench and the Eight Immortals Table, and couldn't help but feel a little proud of the place he had chosen.

"It's very distinctive, including the tables and chairs," Cui Ning said, "In fact, many things look simple, but they are not simple, don't underestimate this restaurant, there is learning everywhere."

A few years ago, when I first came to Longdu on a business trip, I wandered around Wangfujing and saw a restaurant called Red Sorghum Braised Noodles.

But I entered the store, ate a bowl of noodles, waited for half an hour, and the taste of the noodles was average, and then the waiter looked at it and was trained, and the quality was not bad, but it just felt stiff and unnatural, and more importantly, the things inside were expensive and had no characteristics.

Now that the store is closed, it is said that something is wrong with the owner. To do any industry, you must be solid, and you can't easily challenge anyone."

In fact, Cui Ning also had a feeling, although he had the idea of fighting with the group army and Jiebao, but to fight head-on, it was not yet time, Phoenix Cola was just an experiment, once it involved huge advertising investment and marketing team building, it was definitely not something that hype and laymen could do.

"Okay, don't think about your profession and work" Xiang Yuzhen said, "Hurry up and order, serve, I had a birthday when I was a child, and my father had a birthday, so I like to come here to eat, and then anyway, they all say that the taste here is authentic, and the waiter is also very enthusiastic"

"Then you order, anyway, I don't have any taboos" Cui Ning said, "Don't order too many snacks, mainly eat hot dishes, don't forget, Longdu cuisine is similar to our hometown cuisine, I basically love to eat."

Xiang Yuzhen chose a few signature meat dishes and ingredients, and then specially asked Cui Ning for a small bottle of Erguotou.

"Why did you think of giving me some wine?" Cui Ning was a little surprised.

"Dad said, drinking less alcohol is good for the body, I think you also like to drink, especially the mutton, pig's trotters, etc., suitable for two pot heads" Xiang Yuzhen said, and then said to the waiter, "Another papaya milk, okay, that's all, hurry up and serve the dishes." Then the fried noodles are served last, and when I want it, I will serve it again, don't rush. ”

"Okay, you" The waiter went to urge the food, and then Xiang Yuzhen looked at Cui Ning seriously, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Are you a little weird today," Cui Ning smiled, "Do you have anything on your mind?"

"Where is it?" Xiang Yu really seemed to be seen through his heart, his face was a little red, "I just want the holidays to pass so fast, we have both known each other for a few months, and the summer is coming with a whoosh"

"It's pretty fast, I've been in business for almost a year" Cui Ning also said, "You just said your birthday, what day is your birthday?"

"I'll tell you when the time comes" Xiang Yuzhen said, "But I haven't had much in the past few years, unlike when I was a child, my mother said, children don't have birthdays, they will be remembered by the birthday star, the best way is but, and then the birthday star thinks you are still eighteen years old"

"Haha, this kind of statement, then I haven't even had a birthday" Cui Ning said, "Because I all know what my real birthday is, my predecessors said that it was January 1st, which was written on one of my purses, I don't know if it's a birthday"

"In this way, then it will be January 1st, and I will accompany you to spend it next year" Xiang Yuzhen said, "Actually, our little friends, celebrate their birthdays to have a delicious meal, and then buy a small cake, unlike now, there are gifts, and what kind of party to hold, I feel that those are so far away from me"

"Uncle and aunt have a good education, and then they set a good example for you" Cui Ning said, "Look at your yard, it is so clean and tidy, and then the clothesline is very particular, the knots are very strong, no matter how much clothes are dried, there will be no problem, proving that your father is actually very disciplined, but he just hasn't caught up with the good times"

"The previous generation, that's it, my mother is more competitive, she was admitted to college, and then her job is not bad" Xiang Yuzhen said, "Neighbors say I look like my mother, but I'm very strange, if I don't go home at night, my parents will definitely be endless, this time it's like no one, it's over, what's going on?"

"It's a matter of heart, how many times have I said it in the past few days" Cui Ning opened the wine, looked at the dishes really fast, and couldn't help but praise "This shop is really good, the dishes are fast, and the presentation is also knowledgeable, and then every time I come in, I knock on the door"

"Of course, these are all time-honored brands, and we Longdu people are very particular about doing things" Xiang Yuzhen spoke, and when he saw the waiter close the door when he went out, he continued to struggle:

"Brother Cui Ning, you haven't told me why my parents didn't come home for me, as if it never happened."

"If you want me to say it, it's because my aunt believes in me, or she looks forward to you marrying me soon" Cui Ning poured himself wine and asked Xiang Yuzhen: "Do you want to drink a little?"

Xiang Yuzhen shook his head, "I ordered papaya milk," and blushed as he spoke, "By the way, does my mother really want me to get married?"

"Me?" Cui Ning thought for a while, "I want to make the company more stable, and then take a little time to find my parents, that is, in two or three years, is it okay?"

"Oh, two or three years, I'm fine" Xiang Yuzhen also thought about it, "It's not a matter of age, I always feel that my youth is not over yet, and then if I get married all of a sudden, there will be a lot of discomfort, so I also have to work hard and strive for some good grades."

The last dish of "Cheers to Career and Happiness", the braised carp came up, the waiter closed the door of the private room, toasted to Yuzhen and Cui Ning, and then began to eat.

Xiang Yuzhen picked up a piece of ribs, then turned his eyes and stretched out in Cui Ning's direction:

"Come, Brother Cui Ning, open your mouth"

Cui Ning smiled and opened his mouth to take the ribs.

"Brother Cui Ning, you have to feed me too" Seeing that the plan succeeded, Xiang Yuzhen began to be coquettish.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Cui Ning didn't seem to understand Xiang Yu's really careful thoughts, but he still had to cooperate with the little girl.

"Feel free, I love to eat everything you can sandwich me" Xiang Yuzhen had a happy expression.

"Okay, open your mouth, eat fish, be careful of stinging" Cui Ning looked at Xiang Yu's really satisfied little expression, and the way he drank papaya milk in a small sip, and also felt that life was actually very beautiful.

"Brother Cui Ning, what do you think a standard relationship should look like?" Xiang Yuzhen cautiously asked a world problem.

"Is there such a standard" Although Cui Ning is talented and highly intelligent, he really has no answer to this question, and said:

"If it weren't for a brain teaser, I really don't know what the standard relationship is, it's the same as family, there are as many families as there are, and there are as many ways as there are, right?"

"Yes," Xiang Yuzhen's eyes rolled and said, "But there are always some similarities, such as holding hands together, watching movies together, eating together, meeting each other's friends, going to each other's homes, and then hugging, and sharing secrets between the two of them...... I think love is a process of getting close to each other, and then living together and tolerating each other."

"This is the love of modern society, and it is also a relatively common love" Cui Ning thought for a while, "But as long as you like it, as long as I have time, I can accompany you, and then, if you need me for something, such as meeting your friends, or participating in some of your activities, I will try my best to participate."

But sometimes I'm really busy, or if I happen to have something going on, I'll arrange for someone else to help you out. I don't know if you're satisfied?"

"I believe in you" Xiang Yuzhen said, "However, after all, I am a little girl, girls are actually unreasonable a lot of times, for example, when I need companionship, you are always away, no matter how good you usually are to me, I will still have opinions."

If I'm in a bad mood and you're busy, I know I shouldn't lose my temper, but sometimes I can't help it, so there will be conflicts.

Many people around me are not as happy as they imagined after getting married, or rather, our generation, in general, the ratio of happiness and happiness always feels less than that of the previous generation Yes, don't you think it's strange?"

Cui Ning then asked Xiang Yuzhen:

"When I was a child, when I watched TV, there was only one national TV station, and then in addition to cartoons and TV dramas, it was an advertisement, do you also think TV is very good?"

"Yes, I always think that TV when I was a child was very good, the main reason is that there are few TVs, so it is rare, and the things on TV are really interesting, I have never seen them, I still remember watching "Huo Yuanjia", at that time, my family had not bought TV, and a few of our friends went to another yard to watch TV, just like catching up with the market. ”

"In addition to the lack of TVs, the programs are relatively novel, the main thing is that there are no other choices, including programs, that is, but the main reason is because in that era, for most children, watching TV is simply the best entertainment, more than jumping bands, rolling hoops and kicking shuttlecocks, and we have heard TV and seen Hong Kong Island, seen the Oriental country, and suddenly broadened our horizons, so we feel that watching TV is really happy.

There is a problem in this, that is, today, with the TV remote control in your hand, do you feel that watching TV suddenly is not so happy?"

Xiang Yuzhen nodded, "Yes, although "Qing Dynasty Gege" is really good-looking, but many times, I think there are so many channels, why don't there be a few good-looking programs?"

"Yes, it is the responsibility of doing the show, but the more problem is not that the TV show is that we have too many choices.

We can choose to watch TV, we can even choose to go to shopping malls, choose to go to amusement parks, choose to travel, life and material, it is no longer twenty years ago, TV, fried noodles, dumplings are the happiest everything, so the concept of happiness has become particularly complicated.

When a channel, anyone has no choice when watching TV, and just started to have TV, and the freshness is extremely powerful, so like the love of the previous generation, even if it is introduced by the organization, even if the two people do not know each other deeply, even if there are some contradictions after marriage, but because of the environment, because there are not too many choices, so they have been living the so-called married life.

The reason why the divorce rate has been getting higher and higher in recent years, and many of them are not newly married divorces, but in their thirties and forties, is because there are too many choices, and like watching TV, there is no longer only one channel, and it is no longer as fresh and curious as it was at the beginning.

People can choose from dozens or hundreds of channels to watch, but in any case, they can't find the simple joy of watching a channel in the first place, even if it's watching a commercial.

It's not that all TV shows were good twenty years ago, but it's really the reason why I saw less and didn't have a choice.

It's not that the current shows are not good-looking, it's because we have too many choices, and then we have too many calculations in our hearts, and we have even watched too many shows, and we finally have our own standards for judging good and bad.

I don't think it's a bad thing, but because there are more choices, it is believed that there must be something wrong with the original choice, the key is that time and circumstances will really change a person.

No matter how ordinary a person is, as long as the remote control is in his hand, he also knows how to change the channel and find his favorite program, this is the so-called love. ”

Xiang Yuzhen listened to Cui Ning combine watching TV, the simplest thing, with love, and suddenly felt that it made sense.

Of course, what Xiang Yu really wanted was not this truth, but looked at the tightly closed door, and then when Cui Ning spoke, he was already sitting next to Cui Ning, and then began to snuggle Cui Ning, wanting the next move.
