Chapter 90: Continue to Eat and Eat
Xiao Yayun and the innkeeper rushed to my side, Xiao Yayun looked at me and said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”
I shook my head, "It's okay, just rest for a while." You help Xiong Ning in first, this girl probably drank a lot of water. Look at her, don't let her jump again, I don't have the strength to save the third time. ”
The innkeeper helped Xiong Ning into the inn, and I subconsciously took out a cigarette from my trouser pocket with my back against the guardrail by the river, and after taking out the cigarette, I found that the cigarette was completely wet and could not be lit at all.
Throwing the cigarette aside, ignoring the eyes of the tourists around me, I smiled bitterly at Xiao Yayun: "That thing, it's really a madman." The person who jumped into the river without saying a word, I really saw it for the first time in my life. You say what's going on in her head. ”
Xiao Yayun said with a smile: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with being so poor." Who asked you to say those words to stimulate her, girls of this age are very different, mature and mature, immature are the same as Xiong Ning, thinking that love is all in life, plus you stimulate her so much, it's normal to can't think about it and make some overreactions on impulse. ”
I stood up with the guardrail, and said to Xiao Yayun as I walked towards the inn: "Normal fart, her overreaction has made me tired enough." It's a waste of time, don't think about going out this morning, wait for the afternoon. ”
After returning to the room, taking a shower and changing clothes, I went downstairs and saw Xiao Yayun chatting with the boss, and the boss turned his head and saw me giving me a thumbs up, "Brother, it's good enough." ”
I waved my hand, "She's okay." “
Xiao Yayun smiled and said, "It's okay, I took off her clothes, fed her a little calming medicine, and is asleep now." After drinking a stomach full of water this time, I guess she won't dare to jump into the river again. ”
The boss smiled and said, "You haven't been to a few attractions in Xitang, you go play first, and I'll help you watch her." Don't delay your trip. ”
I thought about it for a while and didn't refuse, for Xiong Ning's sake to delay the trip all the way back, I just guarded her in this inn and enlightened her until she wanted to, I really couldn't do it.
For someone I don't know, I think it's enough to talk to her and drag her out of the water twice.
What's more, psychological companionship enlightens a person like Xiong Ning who has jumped into the river twice and is now almost discouraged to regain his strength, it takes a long time, abundant energy, rich knowledge and professional attitude, and I don't have any of these things.
Walking on the street of Xitang, Xiao Yayun suddenly looked at me and smiled: "Your appearance just now really scared me, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction." ”
I smiled wryly and said, "Do you remember the suicide of a girl in the third year of high school in our school in my sophomore year?" ”
I once witnessed suicide, and I was also a girl, and the reason was similar to Xiong Ning's, to break up, and then I couldn't think about it.
It's just that the girl is not as lucky as Xiong Ning, and someone saved her twice. In my sophomore year of high school, I watched as the girl I didn't know was a year older than me and jumped from the top floor of the school building, fell to the ground like a broken sack, bounced off and fell again, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood.
The girl's parents cried at the school gate for more than a week, and her mother cried several times a day, and each time she cried and fainted, she was carried away, and then woke up and came back, holding her daughter's photos and clothes from crying to earth-shattering to crying.
Because my classroom is on the first floor, when I go to the toilet after every class, I can see the girl and her mother, her face is pale, and the whole person seems to have been drained of her spirit by something, she only knows how to open her mouth, cry, and can't even howl, which is worrying.
Xiao Yayun looked at me and nodded, "So you saw Xiong Ning and thought of the senior sister who committed suicide?" ”
I shook my head, "No, I thought of that senior sister's parents. That was probably the first time I really saw the despair of parents losing their children, and since then I've felt that people who think about suicide while their parents are still alive are very irresponsible. ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yayun to speak, I smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, let's find a place to eat." How about continuing to shop and eat in the afternoon? ”
Xiao Yayun smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm going to eat Lao Pinfang, you have a treat." ”
Lao Pinfang is a time-honored restaurant in Xitang, in Beizha Street, the store is very small, but it has been mentioned a lot in the guide, and many guides list it as a must-go place. Xiao Yayun and I searched for a long time on Beizha Street to find this store, and if I hadn't finally seen the old sign with gold on a black background, I would never have believed that this was the legendary time-honored brand.
Such a dilapidated and time-honored store, I swear it is the first time I have seen it
An old woman wearing a long blue apron sat at the door, saw me and Xiao Yayun walking into the restaurant, greeted us with a smile and said to the two of us, now because it is not a meal, there are not many people in Lao Pin Fangli, and she can rest for a while.
Xiao Yayun and I ordered three special dishes - wonton duck pot, fried snail lion in sauce, and pumpkin with salt and pepper. The dish was very fast, and the taste was honestly a little disappointing, although it was good, but it was not as delicious as expected.
Although according to the boss, he went to the river to catch the snail lion, but judging from the experience of jumping into the river last night, the bottom of the river is flat like a cement road, and there is not a single stone, so whether there is a snail is still a problem.
As for the pepper and salt pumpkin, I just ate a fresh, I tasted two pieces and didn't eat again, I think the taste is too light to taste, or the snail lion is interesting. Xiao Yayun looked like she treated it as a snack and ate it very happily.
The only thing that is commendable among the three dishes is the wonton duck pot, which is a local dish from Xitang that is said to have been invented by the kiln workers here. Because of the long working hours and high labor intensity, the potters solved the problem of eating on the spot, and stewed the duck in the kiln, but only the duck meat was not enough, so there were potters who added wontons to the pot, which could not only satisfy hunger, but also relieve hunger, killing two birds with one stone, so the wonton duck pot spread among the potters, and later this dish also appeared on the table of the people of Xitang.
According to the introduction of Lao Pinfang's waiter, this dish has developed so far, and the cooking method has been exquisite, first of all, the local grass duck should be used, and it is best to use the old duck after the egg; Secondly, in terms of ingredients, put shiitake mushrooms, bacon meat, and bamboo shoots.
The saltiness of the salted meat, the tips of the bamboo shoots and the umami of the shiitake mushrooms are all brought together in the duck and soup, and the wontons are eaten together with the soup, and then the duck meat with chopsticks is sandwiched, and a sense of satisfaction arises.
