When there are too many choices, it can make people not know how to make up their minds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Pei Yueyue looked at the endless stream of new baked breakfasts in the store, hesitated for a while, couldn't make up her mind, and subconsciously looked back at Chenxing.
Chenxing was also sitting in his position, sighing secretly while looking at the name of the dim sum on the wooden sign, and suddenly glimpsed that there was such a thing as "beef potsticker" in the corner of the wooden card. Potstickers? Chenxing's eyes blinked, his nose sniffed, and he really smelled the aroma of oil that belonged to the potstickers in the aroma of porridge mixed with various dim sum. Chenxing's heart moved, and at the same time, he noticed Pei Yueyue's inquiring gaze.
"Just pick what you like to eat, and bring me some potstickers." Chenxing spoke to Pei Yueyue and gestured, teaching her how to choose. At this time, there were a lot of people who came here to eat breakfast, the scene was too popular, all kinds of voices were mixed together, buzzing, Chen Xing was afraid that Pei Yueyue would not hear it, so he added a gesture to explain.
In the end, Pei Yueyue took a square plate and finally squeezed it out of the crowd. The large plate is filled with all kinds of small plates. Stem rice porridge, soybean juice, sugar fire, beef potstickers, donkey rolling, sesame sauce baked cakes, fried liver...... After serving them one by one, they are set up and filled with a large table.
"Did I buy too much...... Pei Yueyue looked at the plates on the table, scratched the back of her head, looked at Shangchen Xing with a slightly surprised look, and said embarrassedly, "It's too difficult to choose, there are still a lot of things I want to taste yet......
"Hmm...... It's okay, you can pack it if you can't finish it. Only himself and Pei Yueyue had to solve such a big table, and Chenxing couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and when he looked up and saw Pei Yueyue's expression, he immediately comforted.
"I'll try to figure it out." Pei Yueyue clenched her fists, cheered herself up and promised Chenxing, sat down and began to eat.
"Well, cheer you on!" Chen Xing looked at Pei Yueyue and smiled slightly as she looked like she had entered a state of battle, nodded and gave her a yellow, white, and red "donkey rolling", which is one of the traditional snacks in old Beijing, and it should also be the signature dim sum of this shop.
"Wow, this one is delicious! Sweet, fragrant and soft. Pei Yueyue took a bite of donkey rolling, and said in surprise, "It is worthy of Beijing's time-honored shops, and many other shops that sell snacks also have donkey rolling, but the kind is often not delicious, often sweet, dry and hard, and can't be eaten." β
"Really? Eat more if it's delicious. Chenxing drank the rice porridge and felt that the porridge tasted good. He looked at the steaming beef potstickers and picked one up with chopstickers and ate it slowly. This potsticker...... The taste is actually okay, but I don't have the impression that the shop specializing in potstickers in Shanghai is delicious.
"Do you like this? I haven't heard you mention it. I thought you didn't like fried stuff very much, and you didn't eat much when you bought fritters. Will I buy more potstickers for you for breakfast in the future? Pei Yueyue's expression when she looked at Chenxing didn't look like a simple taste, as if she remembered something, she asked tentatively.
"It's not that I love to eat, it's just that I haven't eaten it for a long time, and when I see this, I suddenly want to eat it. Before...... About three years ago, after eating for a while, there was a shop that made potstickers very well. It's two hours to run from where I live, but it's only a dozen minutes by subway. During that time, I ran for two hours every day to get there, bought potstickers and took the nearest subway back. Chenxing recalled those days, with a look of aftertaste, "Sometimes you can meet a lot of interesting people and things in the subway station...... By the way, Yueyue, the nearest subway station here doesn't seem to be far away, so let's go over there later? Chenxing suddenly asked with great interest.
"Huh? All right. After breakfast, it's time to digest it. Pei Yueyue was happy to walk more with Chenxing, and worked harder and harder to solve the food in front of him, but she didn't think to ask him anything interesting about what he had encountered in the subway station before.
Half an hour later.
Chenxing and Pei Yueyue still couldn't settle a table of food in the end, and they packed some of the rest to take away. Pei Yueyue didn't know that she was so edible, and most of it was eliminated by herself unconsciously. No wonder the business of this shop is so good, so many people come to buy breakfast, the food is so delicious, but after Pei Yueyue finished eating, she found that her stomach was also stretched to the limit.
"Hiccup-" Walking on the road, Pei Yueyue couldn't stop burping again, she lowered her head and touched her stomach bulging lower abdomen with some pity, and quietly blushed, "I'm sorry, I ate too much......"
"Do you want me to buy you a bottle of water?" Chenxing patted her lightly on the back, hoping that it would make her feel better.
"I feel like I'm going to spit it out when I take a sip of water." Pei Yueyue hurriedly shook her head, "It might be better to walk again." β
The metro station is indeed close. After walking less than 100 meters, there is the entrance of the subway in front, which seems to be connected with the underground square.
Before I went down, I saw a young man hanging a piece of cardboard cut from a packing box around his neck, and greeted passers-by enthusiastically, "Beauty, there is an environmental protection exhibition in the underground square today, do you want to go and see it?" β¦β¦ Auntie, we have an environmental art exhibition today, very interesting, teach you how to turn waste into treasure, it saves money, go and take a look? β¦β¦ Hey, hey, this gentleman, at first glance, you are the kind of elite and successful person in the workplace, do you want to take a look at our environmental protection art exhibition, some of them have won awards abroad, and hang a ...... in the business office that will look very tasteful and different."
Pei Yueyue looked at the words written on the cardboard, "Modern Environmental Protection Art Exhibition", which is in traditional Chinese, and the writing is good, and the font is upright.
Pei Yueyue was still hesitating, but Chenxing took a step with long legs and walked over directly.
"We want to see this exhibition, is it underground?" Chenxing walked up to the young man and asked.
"Yes, yes, you can see it if you go down the passage to that small square, and you will find it at a glance, obviously." When the young people saw someone running to the door to ask for directions, they immediately excitedly pointed them in the way.
"Hiccupβ" The strange voice caused the young man's enthusiastic words to pause.
Pei Yueyue hurriedly lowered her head and turned, for fear of being seen.
Chenxing thanked the young man and pulled Pei Yueyue to leave in a hurry. He thought it was nothing, but seeing that Pei Yueyue was very shy, he thought it would be better to take her away quickly.
I walked along the underground passage for a while, and sure enough, I arrived at the underground square, and then I walked to the subway station.
Almost half of the open space in the underground square was occupied, and in the distance, I saw a statue erected in the center of the square, which was held high with one hand, hanging down a vertical bar like silk, and I don't know what material was used to stitch some words, "Modern Environmental Art Exhibition". It looks very eye-catching, no wonder the young man who was shouting at the entrance just now said "you will find it at a glance", it is so obvious that not even the blind can see it.
Getting closer, Pei Yueyue found that the statue was not the stone statue she thought she was, but the whole body was made of some small white particles wrapped in scotch tape, and those particles were ......
"It's scraps of paper that have been crushed by a shredder, and I used tape to shape them together to make this. I call her a 'reserved muse', holding aloft the spark of inspiration in one hand and a gesture of rejection in the other, and only those with her permission can glimpse the beauty she brings. β
A young man in a gray-blue T-shirt and a peaked cap walked up to explain the material used for the statue.
Pei Yueyue turned her head suddenly, and the first feeling of this person was clean. It's weird.
Because the other party's clothes are not clean no matter how you look at it, the white cap has become dusty, there are large dust marks on the T-shirt, and the wide jeans are rolled up to the calves, and in addition to the gray, there seem to be various dyes that can't be washed off. Even the other party has a small patch of ash on their faces.
It's because of the eyes. Pei Yueyue thought.
The eyes of the person in front of him were a little special, the brown pupils were lighter and clearer than most people, like real ice crystals inlaid with them, not very dazzling, but like a pool of clear water that reflected everything clearly. Such a pair of eyes, when not smiling, can easily appear indifferent.
However, the owner of these eyes seems to like to laugh, and when he smiles, his eyes will bend in a beautiful arc, and the crystal-like texture of the pupils when he turns is more obvious, and the clear and warm light reflected seems to be reflected from his heart, so that even if he is covered in dust, it still makes people feel that he is as clean as his eyes.
"Muse? It's amazing to be able to make this out of scraps of paper. Chenxing's eyes widened, and he was sincerely admired.
"Hiccup, hiccup......" Pei Yueyue originally wanted to praise the young man in front of her with Chenxing, but a few uncontrollable untimely hiccups made her turn her back in shame again.
The young man raised his eyebrows, then laughed a few times, and covered up Pei Yueyue's hiccups, "Today is our first day to open this exhibition in the underground square here, we have held it in Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin before, if you are interested, continue to walk inside, there are still a lot of interesting things here." The young man tugged at the long strip of the "reserved muse's" hand, trying to make it more upright. I didn't know what to pull, and I pulled another thing in the muse's hand straight down.
There was a "snap" sound, and Chenxing looked down to see that the thing was shattering very unreservedly. It feels like ...... Eggshells?
"Oops, it's broken again, let's get another one tomorrow." The young man stooped down to pick it up and muttered in a familiar tone.
Again? Isn't this the first time that feelings have been broken?
Chenxing finally understood, this is an empty eggshell with a hole drilled in the bottom to empty the yolk and egg whites inside, and the surface of the eggshell is painted with red paint to look like a flame, and after the shell is broken, the flames that have been smeared on it will naturally also shatter.
"That's what it is...... The spark of the muse? Chenxing blinked.
"Well, this 'tinder' is too unstoppable...... the young man casually threw the broken "tinder" into the garbage bin on the side, and with his casual Taiwanese accent, it looked extremely casual.
Hey, isn't that the spark of inspiration for the muse? Chenxing's gaze fell into the garbage bin again without reserve in a parabolic form with this "tinder", and I feel that this artist is a little too casual?
