Chapter 22: The Fairy Cabin
I found a seat near the door, and the food was served in a few moments. I thanked me and looked down to see that one braised pork and one mapo tofu were quite sufficient, but I didn't know how it tasted.
Pick up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in your mouth, the entrance is soft and silky, fat but not greasy, there is a hint of sweetness but not boring, and the ratio of fat and lean meat and pork skin is also perfect. I couldn't help but nod my head, I never thought that an ordinary-looking fast food restaurant could make such delicious braised pork!
Tasting a piece of mapo tofu, I can't help but let me clamour the case, the tofu is tender but not scattered, fragrant and spicy, and the aftertaste is endless in the mouth, which makes people want to stop.
I didn't expect the chef of this shop to be so skilled. At that moment, I didn't hesitate anymore, and ate the two dishes cleanly, and added two more bowls of rice.
When I checked out, I counted 15 pieces of braised pork, 7 pieces of mapo tofu, and a bowl of rice for one dollar, which cost a total of 25 yuan, which was quite affordable.
got up and left the restaurant, and the waitresses behind him said "Welcome next time!"
As I stood on the street outside the restaurant, I felt a sense of reluctance as I touched my stomach and looked up at the sign that read "Fairy Cottage." The thought of the delicious braised pork and mapo tofu just now made me feel a little hungry again.
No, I can't eat it, I've already eaten three bowls of rice, and if I eat it again, I'll have to die!
I persuaded myself like this, turned my head and stopped looking at the sign of the store, and walked briskly in the direction of home.
When I got home, I sat in front of the computer and thought about making myself a few weapon models for self-defense. I opened the 3Dmax software and looked at the empty interface, feeling a little irritated for some reason.
I don't know if others have had this experience: one Sunday noon when I was a child, you wanted to take a nap, but you slept until more than six o'clock in the evening, and then you remembered that your homework had not been done, and your mood at this time is how I feel now.
It's a mixed feeling of irritability, anxiety, restlessness and a series of negative emotions, which can't be said, it's just very uncomfortable anyway.
I pushed the mouse and keyboard forward, and I didn't do it at all, opened a pack of cigarettes I had just bought downstairs, lit one and took a hard puff, and the irritability in my heart still couldn't be suppressed.
What's wrong with me? As I reflected like this, my stomach rumbled a few more times, and a pang of hunger came over me.
"Why, didn't I just finish eating, why are I hungry again?"
When I think of the dishes I ate at noon, the hunger in my stomach seems to increase a little more, is it possible that I am going to become a foodie?
Holding back the feeling of anxiety in my heart, I reluctantly sat down in front of the computer again. After stabilizing my mind, I still didn't feel like I had the heart to do anything, so I simply opened a few commonly used model websites, randomly downloaded a few models of guns and swords and put them in the bracelet, and wrote a few corresponding setting documents.
Let's make a living like this, anyway, I don't have to report it these days, and I won't encounter any danger.
The hunger in my stomach is getting stronger and stronger, and the anxiety in my heart is also lingering. I don't know why, I always think of the taste of the braised pork in the mouth, soft and glutinous, silky...
Why don't I go downstairs and eat again? Anyway, I'm so hungry now, I shouldn't get any meat after eating it, right? Being so hungry is not good for my health.
"No, no, no, I don't have to eat at night now!"
"You can continue to eat when it's time for dinner! I've just finished eating now, and it's still early in the evening!"
"I just finished eating, so I shouldn't eat anymore! I've eaten three bowls of rice!"
"What are three bowls of rice? Can that bowl in their store be called a bowl? It's so small, it's a cup at most! Yes, a wine cup!"
"But... ”
"What's the matter? Why are you so hungry now? It's not because you haven't eaten enough? You haven't eaten enough! You should have eaten more! Three more bowls! No! Five more bowls! Braised pork and mapo tofu are the same! Not enough more!"
"Or I'll eat it again. ”
"Yes!
"Yes!!Go eat!!"
I stood up abruptly, my eyes straight ahead, no! This is so strange! Who was talking to me just now?
I turned my head around and looked around, and I was the only one standing in front of the computer in the empty bedroom.
What's going on? I was talking to someone just now!
But I'm the only one in this room?!
"Surreal Engine? SuperBoss? Are you there?"
No response.
I felt like my mind was a little messy right now, and I staggered and threw myself on the bed, and I reached out and pulled the pillow over my head, trying to calm myself down.
Could it be that I have encountered too many strange things in the past few days, which has made my subconscious highly nervous, resulting in hallucinations?
I was blindfolded and thinking, but the hunger in my stomach kept growing. I had to do something!
I should take a break, get a good night's sleep, relax, and not feel hungry when I fall asleep!
I forced myself to close my eyes and find a more comfortable position to lie on the bed, trying not to think about eating.
After persevering for a while, I gradually felt myself sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was extremely uncomfortable for me.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and I was lying in bed with a splitting headache and a gurgling sound in my stomach, as if I hadn't eaten for three or four days. The intense hunger had turned into a sharp pain, and I couldn't even straighten up in bed, and I couldn't help but get up.
No, I feel like I'm going to starve to death, and I've got to go downstairs and get something to eat!
I struggled out of bed, but I didn't expect that my whole body had lost strength, and I didn't pay attention to mixing garlic on the soles of my feet, and I fell to the ground at once, and my head hit the edge of the table.
I could feel something hot running down my forehead, but at the moment I was ignoring all of this, and the only thought in my mind was—
"I'm going to eat braised pork!!"
Staggered downstairs and came to the snack street downstairs. In the past, the evening was often the busiest time for this snack street, and people returning home from work would pass by here at this time, and by the way, they would slow down their dinner, and the stalls on both sides were also crowded, and business was very hot.
Today, however, is a little different, and the snack street is empty. It can't be said that it is empty, because those stalls are still there, and they are still crowded on both sides of the snack street, and the shops on both sides of the snack street are also brightly lit, but the strange thing is that there is no one in the entire snack street.
If it were usual, such a vision would definitely arouse my suspicions, but at this moment, I seemed to be stunned, and all I wanted to do was to hurry to the "fairy hut" and eat another delicious braised pork, and of course, mapo tofu!
I continued to stagger along the snack street, but suddenly I smelled an extremely unpleasant smell, which was an extremely pungent paste mixed with a disgusting stench, if I had to describe it, it was probably someone who had pulled out the poop that he had been constipated for a week and fried it in oil, and it was especially fried.
The smell, oh I'm going to go, the smell was so damn that I just sniffed it, and I just held on to a roadside stall and started vomiting like crazy.
Spit out a lot of sour water, and I feel like I can't eat anything now, and I don't have any appetite at all.
Almost at the same time, I suddenly felt that I had calmed down, and the feeling of restlessness and irritability that had been surrounding me suddenly disappeared, just like my girlfriend who told you to break up suddenly told you that she was joking with you before, and my mood suddenly became clearer, and I felt that my breathing was much easier.
What's more, the torture-like hunger was gone from me at the same time.
I feel like I'm having a very real dream now, the dream started with the first piece of braised pork at noon, and I remember every detail of the dream very clearly, and I didn't wake up until I just woke up.
I looked up and wiped the vomit from my mouth, looking around a little dazedly, there was still no one on the snack street, and at that moment, I saw my own reflection on the opposite windowpane.
What a face that is.
The face is yellow and thin, the eye sockets are sunken, the eyes are bloodshot, and there are heavy dark circles under the eyes. There was a terrible wound on my forehead, and the blood that flowed down the arch of my brow across the small half of my face, it was all dry by now, and condensed into a somewhat hideous bloody scab.
"Damn... I couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell have I been through, how did I become like a zombie?!"
At this moment, a breeze blew, and the disgusting stench that had just come crashed into my nostrils, choking me with a cough and retching twice.
I covered my nose and looked around, and finally found the source of the smell in a dense row of stalls.
it's the stinky tofu stand I often eat?!
I walked over to see that the fire of the gas stove was on, and the oil in the pot was already boiling, and the heat was constantly rolling, and from time to time some charred shards were tumbling in it, bringing out a foul smell mixed with the smell of mush. It seems that when the boss fried stinky tofu halfway through, he didn't know why he left.
I looked back at the other stalls, and they were all pretty much the same, several of them were on fire, and there were fried rice and other foods in the pots that had long been burned, but there were no people.
What's going on with this Nima? The chengguan patrolled, and the stallholders ran away when they saw the chengguan coming? No, there has never been a violent law enforcement by the chengguan in this area, so the people who set up the stalls should not be so afraid of the chengguan.
Besides, which stall will leave his stall car behind in order to hide from the city management?
Combined with my own experience this afternoon, thinking of my state after eating in that "fairy hut", I can't help but have a guess in my heart - these people must all run to eat that fast food restaurant, right?!
It dawned on me that there might be something wrong with that store. After lunch, I felt like I was being controlled by something, and I kept feeling hungry and wanted to continue eating that food, and if I resisted this idea, my whole body would become restless, and my mind would not be able to think about things properly.
At this time, I had come to my senses, and naturally I immediately suspected that there might be something wrong with this store, maybe the waitresses in it were actually a special phenomenon!
When you think of the name of that shop "Fairy Hut", damn it, it can't be a room of goblins, right?!
