"Where are you going?"

I looked down and thought for a moment, then replied, "Go to Nantang Old Street, I haven't been there for a long time." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"To Nantang?" Summer looked at me with strange eyes, "Don't you have a headache and no appetite, it's basically all food, and it doesn't seem like there's anything to play, right?" ”

This Nantang Old Street, from beginning to end, is basically a variety of restaurants and snack shops, operating a variety of special snacks and snacks. How could I, a native of Ningbo, not know this? I want to go there, naturally I have my own reasons, but I don't want to tell Xia Ming.

So, I said to the summer, "It's because I don't have an appetite that I want to go to places full of delicious food. ”

Obviously, it was difficult to convince Summer of my lame reason, but she didn't have any need to refute it, so she didn't say anything more, packed up her things, and went out with me.

I wanted to drive by myself, but as soon as I saw the car, I instinctively became nervous, and the terrible memory of that night has formed a psychological set, as long as I move my mind to drive, that terrible memory will come as promised.

"You have a driver's license, right?" I asked Summer, next to me.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then you can drive!"

"Let me drive? Why don't you drive it yourself? ”

I pointed my finger and said, "I don't have a headache, my brain is dizzy, and if I drive on the road like this, it will be dangerous." ”

"That's just as well!" Summer nodded, and then continued: "But although I have already obtained my driver's license, I have never driven much, and my hands are very raw, and I am afraid of ......."

"What is there to be afraid of! You're not the only one driving on the road, I'm not in the car, if you have any questions, just ask me when the time comes. With that, I handed the car keys to Summer.

Summer hesitated for a moment, but eventually took the car keys.

And just like that, Summer got into the driver's seat with the car keys. I walked to the passenger seat door on the other side.

When I reached out to open the co-pilot's door, I pulled the door handle with my hand, subconsciously stopped, looked at the co-pilot's seat through the window, and then looked at the driver's seat on the side, and my heart was still a little stunned.

So, I withdrew my hand from the door handle, gave up the idea of sitting in the passenger seat, and turned to sit in the back of the car.

"Why don't you sit in the co-pilot?"

"I'm afraid I'll sit in the co-pilot's seat, and you, a rookie, will be nervous driving!"

Summer glanced back at me resentfully, didn't say anything more, and drove on the road.

Although the summer is a rookie who has not driven much, but the driving skills are not bad, although the road is relatively slow, but there is no situation, overall the performance is quite good, it seems that there is still a good learning in the driving school.

When the car arrived at its destination, Summer and I got out of the car one after the other.

At this moment, it suddenly began to rain in the sky. However, the rain is not heavy, to be precise, it is as thin as a hair, which is the so-called drizzle.

Weather conditions like this are normal in Ningbo in late autumn. During this period, the sun rarely rises, and most of the days are spent on cloudy and rainy days. And with the appearance of rain, the temperature will gradually begin to drop, slowly introducing Ningbo into winter.

One autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains put on cotton. This sentence should best explain this weather phenomenon.

Although it rained, it didn't affect my interest, and I and Xia each held umbrellas and walked slowly from the parking lot into Nantang Old Street.

The buildings of Nantang Old Street are mainly based on the Jiangnan residential style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, interspersed with Republican style buildings, and the old market shops, stone roads, Matou walls, and Hebutou all have a strong old Ningbo style.

On a drizzly day like this, holding an umbrella and walking on this old street is naturally unique. To paraphrase a classic advertising slogan in the past two years, "On a rainy day, the old street and the mood are more compatible!" ”

As I said before, I came to Nantang Old Street for my own reasons, and this reason is actually very simple, I want to eat something that has a special meaning for me.

That thing is called gray juice ball, which is a snack in Ningbo. Egg-sized, oblate, brown, jelly-like translucent. The water in his hand is trembling, like a handicraft. It tastes cool, smooth, crispy, and non-sticky, and the colder it is, the better it tastes.

This dough is my favorite food when I was a child, and my grandmother used to make it for me, so it has a special meaning for me.

When I grew up, whenever I thought of my grandmother or encountered some difficulties and setbacks, I would go to buy ash dumplings and come back to eat. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, every time I eat the gray juice ball, the whole person will be full of energy and cheer up.

As for why you have to go to Nantang Old Street to buy it, in fact, the reason is very simple. Although this ash juice ball is sold in major supermarkets in Ningbo, the taste is not authentic, and I always feel that something is missing when I eat it. On the other hand, the ones sold in Nantang Old Street are more pure, so I came here to buy them.

As soon as I entered the old street, I went straight to the shop that sold gray juice balls.

Summer, who didn't know the situation, could only follow me closely.

I bought a box of ash balls, and I immediately couldn't wait to open them and eat them. One bite at a time, three times in a row, I suddenly felt a burst of happiness welling up in my heart.

Summer looked at me gobbling up on the side, and said in surprise, "Take it easy!" No one is robbing you, be careful not to choke! ”

I ignored her and just went on eating on my own.

"You came here to eat this, right?"

I picked up the ash ball and stuffed it into my mouth, nodding towards Summer.

Looking at my appearance in the summer, I could only shake my head helplessly.

A box of ash juice balls was quickly wiped out by me. At the same time, my originally groggy head was no longer dizzy, and the headache disappeared.

"Let's go! Let's go shopping! I said to Summer in high spirits.

Summer naturally noticed the changes in me, but she couldn't figure it out, just now I was pale and sick, but after eating a box of ash juice balls, I instantly refreshed. So much so that she stared at the shop that sold ash juice balls with very strange eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go eat the next one! I urged.

At my urging, Summer put away her puzzled eyes and quickly followed.
