"Lirong, we've entered the mountain city!"

Huang Lirong leaned back on the seat to rest, heard Luo Xu's voice, opened her eyes, and saw the words "Welcome to the city" written on the towering street sign.

She lowered the car window, took a deep breath, and said with an intoxicated face: "Luo Xu, do you smell the smell of fried spicy seeds in the air?"

Luo Xu sniffed hard, frowned and said, "Where is the smell of fried spicy seeds?" I can't smell it at all, but the air here is really good, much better than the provincial capital." ”

Huang Lirong said: "You are not from Shancheng, where do you know what fried spicy is." There is a smell of fried spicy seeds in the air in the mountain city, but you can't smell it. ”

Luo Xu said: "I've been driving all night, I'm starving, why don't you find a place to stop and have some breakfast? You are more familiar here than me, where is there a delicious breakfast? It must be the characteristic of your mountain city!"

"Really, do you want to eat the characteristics of our mountain city?" Huang Lirong smiled: "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!"

Luo Xu said: "Isn't it spicy, you see if I'm afraid of spicy!"

Huang Lirong said: "Okay, I'll take you to eat the spicy soup wonton on Zhoushan Road." I tell you how to go. ”

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the spicy soup wonton shop on Zhoushan Road. This old shop is said to have a history of hundreds of years, and every morning, many people come here for breakfast.

There is a sign outside the store that says the prices of the various foods in the store. Luo Xu glanced at the price and said, "It's really cheap here, such a big bowl of noodles only costs five yuan, and you may not be able to eat it for fifteen yuan in the provincial capital." ”

Huang Lirong said: "This shop is kind, otherwise there would not be so many people to eat, the current price here ten years ago, many customers who came to eat here persuaded the boss to raise the price, but the boss just didn't rise." Moreover, business here is getting better and better, and the store can't accommodate customers at all, but the boss just doesn't want to change to a bigger store. He also sells a limited number of things every morning, and he finishes work when he finishes selling, and never makes more than one copy. ”

"Personality!"

Luo Xu said: "Don't be burdened by money, live by your hands, and live a comfortable and steady life like this." ”

Huang Lirong stepped forward and communicated with the boss in her hometown dialect, and she asked for a bowl or two of spicy oil wontons, which are the most famous item in this breakfast shop.

The two waited for a while before a seat became available. If it weren't for Luo Xu's quick eyes, the vacancy might have been snatched away by others. Two bowls of spicy oil wontons were served, steaming hot.

Huang Lirong said to Luo Xu: "Aren't you very good, come on, if you can eat this bowl of wontons, I will count you as good." ”

Luo Xu thought to himself what a bowl of wontons was, he was hungry, two or three bowls were probably fine. Huang Lirong gave Luo Xu a spoon and said, "You can start eating." ”

It's a big sea bowl with a layer of red pepper floating on it. Luo Xu thought that he could usually eat spicy, so he scooped a little soup with a spoon and sent it into his mouth, the soup entered his mouth, Luo Xu's mouth immediately lost sensation, except for the hot feeling, other than that, he couldn't feel anything, his whole body immediately sweated, and his hair felt like it was about to stand up.

"Damn!

Luo Xu opened his mouth, and he felt that he was about to burst into flames, and his tongue was so spicy that it was red, as red as a roasted sausage.

"How about it, do you dare to underestimate the spicy people in our mountain city?" asked Huang Lirong with a smug smile.

Luo Xu waved his hand and said, "I won't eat the wontons, I admit it." I'll go buy some instant noodles to eat later. ”

Huang Lirong said: "It's good that you don't eat it, these two bowls are all mine." ”

Luo Xu watched Huang Lirong drink soup and eat wontons, nothing happened, as if the chili oil was not spicy at all.

"Don't you think it's spicy?"

Huang Lirong said: "I've been eating like this since I was a child, and I've long been used to it. You can't eat spicy, it's still a mountain city. ”

Luo Xu rarely saw Huang Lirong eat so much, she actually ate two bowls of wontons today. Huang Lirong was very satisfied, but Luo Xu didn't eat anything.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some buns to eat. ”

Luo Xu asked with palpitations: "Your buns in the mountain city don't wrap spicy seeds, right?"

Huang Lirong smiled: "It's not that much, but it's also a little spicier than other places, but it's within the range you can accept." ”

Leaving this century-old shop, they walked for a while and came to the steamed bun shop. Huang Lirong bought five steamed buns for Luo Xu, in order to save time, Luo Xu ate while walking, and when he walked to the parking place, the steamed buns were finished.

"Where do you live?" Luo Xu asked.

Huang Lirong said: "My parents still live in the old house assigned to them by the previous unit. I bought them a new house in a nice part of the city a few years ago, but they never moved in. ”

Luo Xu said: "This is the first time I have come to your house, and I can't come to the door empty-handed." We came out of the provincial capital in a hurry, and we forgot to buy things. I'm not familiar with this place in the mountain city, what big shopping malls are there?"

Huang Lirong said, "You don't have to buy anything, my parents don't want that." ”

"No!" Luo Xu was resolute, "How can anyone go empty-handed for the first time." This is absolutely not a no-go. ”

Huang Lirong said: "There is really nothing to buy." My parents don't lack anything either. ”

Luo Xu said: "Then buy some nutritional products, at least you have to bring some things over, otherwise it will be too rude." ”

Huang Lirong said: "Then why don't you buy some fruits? They won't eat those nutritional products, and they will waste them if they buy them." ”

Luo Xu said: "Okay, it's simple this time, and I'll make up for it next time." ”

The two found a fruit shop and picked out a few seasonal fruits in it. After getting in the car, Huang Lirong came to guide Luo Xu, and half an hour later, they came to the old city. It is no longer a key development area of the city government, so it looks very old compared to the new town.

"My house is in the old neighborhood in front of me, do you see?"

"Is it Friendship New Village?" Luo Xu asked.

"Yes, there it is. ”

Luo Xu drove the car to the gate of the community, and saw an old man sitting under the old locust tree next to the gate, which looked like the community was watching the gate.

When the car drove in, I saw that although the community was dilapidated, it was very clean.

"I used to live here with my father's and mother's colleagues and teachers, but many of them have already moved away, and my parents are reluctant to move away. ”

The car drove downstairs, and the two got out of the car.

"Do your parents know that you're coming back today?" asked Luo Xu.
