Chen Qiaoshan stopped a car in the town and rushed to the county seat, took a train to Hankou overnight, and in the early hours of the morning, he caught the latest train to Xinhua.

The trip to his hometown ended in a hurry, and Chen Qiaoshan also let go of his knots, after all, the past has passed, and thinking too much is only adding to his troubles.

When I arrived at Xinhua Station, it was the morning of the 3rd.

Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to start the trip, in the past two days, he has been on the road, he has not slept a little, got off the train, people are really tired, he directly found a hotel, took a shower and fell asleep.

It wasn't until he was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone that Chen Qiaoshan came to his senses, and when he looked at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the phone was the number of Yan Xiaoqin's house, so he pressed the answer button.

"You're fine, you don't reply to text messages, and you don't answer your phone calls for half a day, are you in trouble?" As soon as the phone was connected, Yan Xiaoqin's slightly worried voice came.

Chen Qiaoshan felt a little sore, running around was indeed very physical, he stretched his hands and feet first, and then said: "I was sleeping just now, and I went to Xinhua in the morning, but I was trapped to death, and I didn't rest for two days." ”

"No, didn't you leave No. 1, why did you only get to Xinhua today?"

Chen Qiaoshan naturally didn't mention the itinerary of his hometown, and he had already thought of countermeasures, and explained: "During the May Day holiday, the ticket is not easy to buy, and I went to Hankou to transfer the car, thinking about the first time I came to Jiangcheng, so I went around for a day. ”

Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help but complain: "I knew I was going out to travel with you, and I was alone at home all day long, suffocating to death." ”

"I said Miss, I'm here to do research, not to play. ”

"You ran away from Jiangcheng and said that you didn't go out to play. Yan Xiaoqin retorted first, and then asked curiously: "Tell me, where have you been playing?"

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "There are a lot of good places, Yellow Crane Tower knows, there is a Hubu Lane near it, the whole street is selling Chinese snacks, I have eaten it, I also bought authentic Zhou Black Duck, it tastes good, it's a little spicy, I guess you don't like it very much." ”

Yan Xiaoqin heard this, and said coquettishly: "Who said I don't like it, I haven't tasted it yet!"

"Well, I'll take some back when I get back, but let's say it first, don't blame me if you have acne on your face. ”

"That's not necessary, if we have the chance, we will go to Jiangcheng again, I haven't been to the south yet. ”

Jiangcheng is a standard central city, the Yangtze River passes through the city, known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the south is not touched, but this reason is not clear, in the eyes of northerners, as long as the warm land is the south.

"Then let's decide, I still have a lot of places I haven't been to, what Guqintai, Qingchuan Pavilion, Guiyuan Temple, and, Jiangcheng people all say, 'early payment of Hubu Lane, supper Jiqing Street', come back, let's go to Jiqing Street together, there must be a lot of food." ”

Yan Xiaoqin nodded again and again: "Okay, a word is a certainty, you are not allowed to lie to me." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, he had money and leisure, and walked around with his girlfriend, such a life was the life he wanted.

"By the way, your research is going well, right?"

"I haven't started yet, I haven't rested well in a row, so I'll rest for a day and I'll talk about it tomorrow. "Chen Qiaoshan's purpose for coming this time is very clear, that is, to find the two generations of heads of Xinhua Copying.

It is an exaggeration to say that the head is in charge, to be precise, he is a representative of the Xinhua copying industry, one is the Yi brothers, and the other is Zou Lianjing.

The Yi brothers are the originators of Xinhua copying, belonging to the first generation, and Zou Lianjing is a rising star, promoting the Xinhua industrial chain to occupy the national market, and belongs to the second generation of pioneers.

From the paper in his memory, Chen Qiaoshan found enough information.

The photocopying industry originated in Xinhua, to be precise, in Yangxi Town, which is the starting point of the industrial chain.

Chen Qiaoshan is not ready to go down alone, as the saying goes, ten miles are not the same sound, a hundred miles are not the same, although he knows the dialects of Hubei and Henan provinces, but he has no problem with the local dialect of Xinhua Fang.

The Xinhua dialect is known as the most difficult dialect of Hunan Province, and it is okay in the county seat, but when I went to the township below, I was blind.

Yan Xiaoqin was a little worried, "What are you going to do, how many days are you going to stay over there?"

"I had a letter of introduction from the school, so I went back to the county to see if I could find some help. ”

"My dad said, you can go to the Propaganda Department of the county party committee to have a look, after all, your paper is to study the Xinhua copying industry chain, and it is also a positive publicity for the local area. ”

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing, this suggestion coincided with his plan, he smiled: "Yo, I shocked our father, how embarrassing is this." ”

Yan Xiaoqin said angrily: "You are poor, I won't tell you, you are careful outside alone, don't be reckless if you have anything, and remember to call at any time if you have something......

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qiaoshan felt hungry, he hurriedly cleaned up, and hurriedly went out to find food.

Xinhua is located in the birthplace of Meishan culture, according to legend, it is the hometown of Chiyou, there are many strange dishes, head back, Chen Qiaoshan also wants to see it, he found a small restaurant, the area is not large, the appearance of a husband-and-wife shop, the inside is clean and refreshing.

As soon as I entered the door, a man in his forties who looked like a fat chef greeted me, "Yo, it's past dinner, what do you want to eat?"

It's already half past three in the afternoon, neither early nor late, but I don't pay attention to this when I open my door to do business.

"Boss, I heard that your Sanhe soup here is very famous. ”

A sentence scratched the itch of the fat boss, he shook his cheeks and smiled: "Little brother is here to travel, our Xinhua Sanhe soup is the most authentic in Hengyang and Yangxi, I am a native of Yangxi Town, family handicraft, authentic Yangxi Sanhe soup, you are looking for the right person today." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, this is really a coincidence, you can meet Yangxi people when you have a meal, but you can inquire about the news of the Yi brothers and Zou Lianjing by the way, and there is no need to worry, he said without moving: "It's really a head, you can introduce me, what good food does Xinhua have?"

"That's a lot. At this time, the fat chef was interested, and introduced the new cuisine quite complacently: "Our catering industry here is unique, and there are 'ten meats', 'ten vegetarians', and 'ten drinks'. ”

"The so-called ten meat dishes are Sanhe soup, thunder duck, back to the pot dog meat, waterwheel fish jelly, snow balls, rice fish, rice flour meat, firewood bacon, loach drill tofu, elbow meat. ”

"The ten vegetarian dishes are cup cake, siu mai, bracken cake, grits cake, glutinous rice cake, buckwheat cake, glutinous rice cake, rice cake, starch cake, and brown seed. ”

The fat chef has the potential to talk about cross talk, just like a mouth, twenty dishes are reported in one go, without a single knock.

"There are also ten drinks, this folk is a little divided, and there is no fixed statement, but snake wine, rice shochu, sweet lees wine, and rice wine are indispensable. ”

"Well, little brother, would you like to have a few more things to try? ”

After listening to it for a while, Chen Qiaoshan was also interested, he nodded and said: "Then have a Sanhe soup, firewood bacon, and then a hearty buckwheat cake, and the wine will not be used." ”

The fat cook nodded and smiled: "Send another pot of cloud tea, you can taste it later, pure local specialties are different from other places." ”

"By the way, where are you, do you eat spicy?"

Hunan cuisine is famous for being spicy, and Chen Qiaoshan also ate spicy food in his previous life, but in front of Hunan people, he still has to keep a low profile, "Don't be too spicy, just be slightly spicy." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, it'll be right away. The fat cook brought a pot of tea first, and then went back to the back kitchen.

Yunwu tea has a mellow taste and a strong aroma, Chen Qiaoshan has not studied much about tea, but he can also feel the difference, while tasting tea, he fell into thinking again.

Xinhua is not large, the county has a population of 1.2 million, but there are nearly 200,000 people engaged in the typing and copying industry, but the strange thing is that there is nothing special on the street, and there are also typing and copying shops sporadically.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little curious, such a huge industrial chain must need a certain amount of physical support, otherwise it will definitely not be able to monopolize the national market on a large scale, and he wondered a little, where are these industrial supporting facilities hidden?10
