We chatted all the way to get off the train, the station was still full of people, and there were many restaurants in the station.

followed Lan Lan into a small restaurant called "Hubei Hotel", and there were dozens of such restaurants as far as the eye could see.

The name of the hotel is also very arbitrary, basically the name of the place plus the word hotel.

There are no lights in the store, except for some light at the door, which is dark inside.

Me: Lan Lan, is this the legendary black shop?

Lan Lan: If you want to die, don't talk about this, and there are no guests, what a waste of turning on the lights! Dad, Mom.

Lan Lan said that she then called her father and mother in Hubei dialect, but no one answered, so she walked inside.

Ali and I sat down at the table by ourselves, and a teenage boy in the middle looked at us and walked to the side, and then a simple aunt who was about the same age as my mother came to me and asked us.

But as soon as I opened my mouth, I realized that I had read it wrongly, that Simplicity had nothing to do with anyone who did business here!

Auntie asked us in Mandarin with a thick Hubei accent.

Auntie: Two little girls, do you want to eat stir-fried vegetables or fried rice, there is a menu on the wall, you can take a look.

After speaking, standing next to us, we were a little at a loss, and obediently looked at the menu, thinking to myself, where is Lan Lan?

A few minutes passed, and Lan Lan finally came out.

Lan Lan: Mom, where's my dad? (Hubei dialect)

Auntie: It's you who came back, and you don't know about someone! (Hubei dialect)

Lan Lan: Oh, the two of them are my friends, I brought them to play, you don't have to worry about it. (Hubei dialect)

We breathed a sigh of relief.

Auntie: You're going to die! You don't say a word when you come back, I'm playing mahjong and I'm getting better! Your father is back, Xiaoyue is going to have a final exam, and I'll come back after a parent-teacher conference for her. (Hubei dialect)

I know that Lan Lan's mantra of "I'm going to die" was inherited from my aunt!

Lan Lan: When did my dad go back? (Hubei dialect)

Auntie: No, Blue Moon doesn't want to come! You're back, then look at the store, I'll play mahjong. (Hubei dialect)

Lan Lan: Okay, the money I received belongs to me?

Auntie: Yes, you can just keep the shop well, you two can do whatever you want, you can make your own food!

Ali and I nodded like woodpeckers and said thank you.

The aunt had already turned around and walked back.

Auntie: The meat on the top of the refrigerator is not very good, so if you get it to eat, take the meat below. Eat as many vegetables as you like, don't waste them, eat as much as you want!

Me: Okay, thank you, Auntie!

Ali: Thank you, Auntie!

Lan Lan: Does your mother want to do your part?

Auntie: No, you just need to take care of the store!

Auntie went on to play mahjong.

Me: Ali, do you think it's weird?

Ali: What?

Me: Lan Lan calls her mother a little weird, it's just a little rusty! When I'm at home, I call my father or mother, and I feel kinder than this!

Ali: You really feel that way when you say that!

Ali walked over to Lan Lan and asked in a whisper.

Ali: Lan Lan, isn't your relationship with your mother bad?

Lan Lan: No, that's good! Why do you ask?

Me: It's nothing, it's just nonsense.

Lan Lan: But it's true that my father and mother don't have a good relationship! When we were young, neither of them cared about me or my sister; they all played their own games here, and they always quarreled. Sometimes there were fights, and my mom was beaten several times and was hospitalized.

Me: Then why don't they get divorced?

Lan Lan: I don't know, most people don't divorce for the sake of their children when they have a bad relationship, but they don't divorce for us either!

Ali: Is that still the case?

Lan Lan: No, it's strange here! They don't play but it's good! Mom plays mahjong, Dad makes money, and business has been much better in the past few years, and so are they.

Ali: Could it be that they don't quarrel and don't make business?

Lan Lan: I don't know, anyway, my father went to Nanning to pick me up and brought me back, and I haven't seen them quarrel since.

Ali: That's when you were tricked into a pyramid scheme?

Lan Lan: I don't want to talk about that experience, let's talk about something else!

Lan Lan suddenly spoke seriously, and I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.

Ali: What are we going to eat?

Lan Lan: What do you want to eat? Fried rice or boiled noodles?

Me: I want to eat noodles.

Ali: I don't even want to eat it, is there any other choice?

Lan Lan: Then stir-fry and eat.

Ali: Yes.

Me: Then I'll cook noodles and eat them.

Lan Lan: Okay, you can get it yourself.

Lan Lan and Ali started to make vegetables, I boiled water to boil noodles, put noodles in plain water, put some vegetables to cook together, and then took them out and put the seasoning "somen noodles" on it.

The two of them went to the kitchen to get busy, and I sat in the outer hall to eat noodles, and the first guest came in, and I asked very enthusiastically, as if I was an aunt.

Me: Hello, are you going to have stir-fry or fried rice, there is a menu on the wall.

The guest looked at me and sat down at a table.

I continued to eat noodles with my head down.

Guest: What are you eating?

I didn't expect him to ask me.

I swallowed the noodles in my mouth, and when I looked at him again, I looked a little uncomfortable with the greasy feeling that ordinary passers-by spend days and nights in the car.

Me: Noodles!

Guest: Can you cook me a bowl?

Me: I cooked this casually, not on the menu.

Guest: It's okay, I can pay the price on the menu! Northerners like to eat pasta, I want to eat noodles.

Me: Well, I'll go and ask the boss in the back, shall I?

Guest: If it's not convenient, just fry me some rice.

I was about to go to the back kitchen, and when he said this, I felt as if I was wrong and a little ruthless!

Me: Okay, then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles, twenty yo!

Guest: Okay, just don't put chopped green onions on me.

Me: Most northerners don't eat pasta with green onions, don't you like shallots?

Guest: I'm one of the few northerners!

The guest smiled, and I didn't say anything, and went into the kitchen.

Me: There was a guest outside Lanlan, and he said he wanted to eat the noodles I ate, and I said twenty-one bowls, and he agreed, do you want to cook them for him?

Lan Lan: Why not, Xiao An, you can sell your somen noodles for twenty!

Me: What's wrong? It's cheaper?

Lan Lan took the menu and turned over the back and pointed it to me, there was a large row of noodles, and the noodles were only twelve or one bowls.

Me: What then?

Ali walked a little forward and stole a look at the guest.

Ali: An, are you sure you told him the price?

Me: Uh-huh!

Ali: Let's cook it, but let's add some meat to him!

Lan Lan: Uh-huh, you want to add it!

Lan Lan opened the refrigerator and took out the not very good meat that my aunt had explained, and put a few slices in the pot; after the water boiled for a while, I took out the meat and put noodles and green vegetables; then put the seasoning according to my taste, and brought it out to him.

Guest: It's a bit much!

I thought I misheard.

Me: Huh?

Guest: I think it's more than other places! A chopstick in other places is finished, this is a lot of weight!

What should I say when he says that? He still praises me even though he has suffered a loss, is there something wrong with his head? Or is he having some other calculation, will he have to pay with fake money in a while?

Me: Well, if you eat anything that tastes bad, you can add it yourself, there are seasonings on the table.

Guest: Okay, thank you!

I picked up my noodles and went to the kitchen, and suddenly I wondered if he might have put sweat medicine in my noodles while I wasn't looking! And then abducted me far, far away! Well! It's not impossible, I'm not going to eat it! I went to the kitchen and dumped the uneaten noodles in the trash.

Lan Lan saw me come in, she went out to guard, afraid that this guest would take advantage of our inattention, and run away! Eat the overlord meal! Ali was stir-frying, and when I went out again, the guest was paying Lan Lan. Four pieces of five, see that the guest go away, I asked worriedly.

Me: Lan Lan, is he also money laundering?

Lan Lan: No, but he's not a good person! The five-dollar one doesn't have fake money, he just uses more money for money! Saying that, Lan Lan showed me a performance, obviously at the beginning I gave me four, but when I count it, it's only three.

Me: This is the exchange of money?

Lan Lan: That's right, just take one out of it. Therefore, doing business at this station is either you or he is killing people, and beware of him killing you!

Me: I was very upset just now, and I felt that I had made more money from him.

Lan Lan: Don't worry about not going, if you don't believe it, you can see if he has entered another hotel!

I ran to the door again to look.

Me: Hey, Lan Lan really went into a restaurant over there!

Lan Lan: Haha, there are too many such people, and it's a simple girl like you who is being deceived.

After saying that, Lan Lan went in and brought out Ali's fried dishes.

"Sure enough, there won't be anything bad that happens suddenly!"

Ali: Ann, do you want to have some more food with us?

Me: No, I can't eat anymore.

Lan Lan: Shall we have some beer?

Ali: Now, do you drink beer at noon?

Lan Lan: Well, we won't get drunk when we drink!

Me: I'm going to drink!

Lan Lan: Then let's have one bottle per person!

Ali: No, let's have two bottles for the three of us, drink less, and we'll have to do something if there are guests in a while!

Lan Lan: That's fine!

Lan Lan took two large bottles of snow beer and drank it while eating.

From the first time I drank alcohol, I became obsessed with alcohol, and when I didn't drink or watched others drink, I would swallow unconsciously. I may have been addicted to alcohol, and I always felt that only when I drank alcohol could I feel comfortable, so that I could not think about anything and fall asleep!

Three people drank two bottles, but they didn't feel drunk, and there were customers in the store one after another, but there were not many. The three of us also sold fried vegetables and fried rice for more than 200 yuan.
