Chapter 192: Miscellaneous Noodles, Infatuated Girl, White Whisker, Director Hong
Although it has been a while since I made a bill, compared to the rollercoaster-like encounter in the past few days, and even almost being thrown into the Yellow River, this is nothing.
Wang Xiao didn't go to the company for a morning meeting in the past two days, every time he read a book, memorized a few paragraphs of physiognomy knowledge such as "Knowing the Limit Song" and "Luck Formula", and then watched a movie or something on the Internet for a while, and it was easy to stay in the house for two days.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the third day, Wang Xiao was holding a yellow rosewood box, sniffing the cherry-like fruit that was becoming more and more fragrant, when he suddenly received a call from Yao Xuejia, wanting to ask him to eat in a remote street and alley that he had never heard of in Jinshui in the past few years.
As for how this Hermes girl knew his phone, he had no way of knowing, and Yao Xuejia didn't say anything on the phone, but he could guess that it must be a good thing done by Peng Zhuoyuan, a Bentley kid.
Originally, Wang Xiao wanted to refuse, but when she heard Yao Xuejia acting like a little woman uncharacteristically, begging him pitifully on the phone, no matter how she accompanied her, Wang Xiao's heart softened and agreed.
Yao Xuejia drove her imported red BMW mini car and went downstairs to pick up Wang Xiao.
If you talk about figure and appearance alone, although Yao Xuejia can be called beautiful, she is a little worse than Su Huilai, but Yao Xuejia is a young lady, who pays more attention to skin care and dressing, and is quite talented for fashion trends, so she looks more high-end and atmospheric, and has an aristocratic temperament that a small jasper can't learn.
Ten minutes later, Yao Xuejia parked her car in the parking lot in front of a large shopping mall on Renmin Road, and then followed the guidance of the mobile phone map and turned into a narrow alley at the back of the mall with Wang Xiao.
This alley focuses on a few wholesale beef and mutton shops, every morning here is still a morning market of beef and mutton, less than a kilometer long street, gathered dozens of stalls, many of the city's vegetable market butchers and restaurants come here to buy.
Although it was almost noon at this time, and the vendors had already retreated, there were still obvious traces of blood and oil stains on the slightly potholed streets.
When Wang Xiao was still more than ten meters away from this street, he smelled a strong fishy smell and felt sick to his stomach.
Yao Xuejia's reaction was even stronger, and she stopped directly to vomit, for a rich daughter who had never even been to the vegetable market, and had never been to such a remote place in the market, the strong smell here was even more unbearable, and her stomach began to turn over the river.
Wang Xiaozhen didn't understand why Yao Xuejia chose this place to eat.
"I think, let's change places! Don't say it's you, even I can't stand the smell. Wang Xiao looked at Yao Xuejia, who was so delicate that she was not stained with a trace of dust, and when she saw her uncomfortable energy, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"No...... I just want to see what kind of magic that old lady makes of wild vegetable noodles that can make Peng Zhuoyuan fall in love with a girl like a village girl. If there is really that kind of magic, it can make Peng Zhuoyuan fall in love with that girl at first sight, and it will definitely be effective for you and me. Yao Xuejia tried to calm herself down to adapt to this environment.
In fact, he had a big quarrel with Peng Zhuoyuan, and then asked for Wang Xiao's phone and wanted to come here to eat a bowl of noodles to see if he could be like Peng Zhuoyuan, because after eating a bowl of miscellaneous noodles for three and a half yuan a bowl together, two people with disparate identities would be moved by each other.
She didn't have any thoughts about Wang Xiao, and she didn't believe that the mixed noodles made by the old lady were [***] soup.
But after such a long time, Peng Zhuoyuan is still avoiding her, she is just angry, she will be robbed of her boyfriend by a girl from the mountains, or a childhood sweetheart who has played together since childhood, the most annoying thing is that the girl has been dead for two years, and Peng Zhuoyuan still refuses to return to her.
Of course, Yao Xuejia didn't believe that she fell in love with Wang Xiao because of a bowl of mixed noodles. However, as the saying goes, Yao Xuejia is about to be driven crazy, so she wants to find Wang Xiao to give it a try.
If it doesn't work, it means that she has completely lost to a girl in the mountains. Even if it really works, she will accept her fate, and by the way, she can anger Peng Zhuoyuan and let him regret it alone.
Of course Wang Xiao wouldn't believe this, as a bystander, he could see that Yao Xuejia was angry, so he would accompany her out, hoping that she would distract herself, dissipate her anger, and continue to chase Peng Zhuoyuan.
Yao Xuejia worked hard for a long time, and finally survived, walked through this street with Wang Xiao, turned into an inconspicuous alley, and walked forward about 300 meters, and finally found the old lady who was setting up a stall selling wild vegetables and mixed noodles.
Although it is a small alley that is difficult for outsiders to find, it is close to the big shopping mall in front, so many young men and women who work in the mall will come here to buy lunch because of their meager income, because the food here is the cheapest and the taste is not bad.
The old lady's stall is not large, and there are two large metal-shelled insulated buckets on the angle-iron welded trolley, in which are placed pre-made wild vegetable noodles.
On the right side of the trolley is a pergola, under which are placed long low tables of some age, and some small stools.
At this time, it was already time to eat, there were many people who came to eat noodles, and the five long tables were almost full of people, and Peng Zhuoyuan was also among them, sitting opposite a thin old man with a white beard, eating noodles and chatting at the same time.
Wang Xiao saw that Peng Zhuoyuan was also here, and after being surprised, he also wanted to understand why Yao Xuejia had to come here.
"Two bowls of noodles." Yao Xuejia said to the old lady.
"Okay, you guys find a seat first, and I'll bring it to you." The old lady said enthusiastically.
Peng Zhuoyuan, who was immersed in eating noodles, heard this, looked up and saw that it was Yao Xuejia, put down the spoon and got up to leave.
Yao Xuejia didn't chase after her, just glanced at it, and then walked to Peng Zhuoyuan's position just now and sat down.
Wang Xiao also awkwardly took a stool next to him and sat down, waiting to taste the old lady's wild vegetable noodles.
The white-bearded man on the opposite side, who had a bit of fairy wind and bones, looked up at Yao Xuejia, and then glanced at Wang Xiao, couldn't help but smile, and continued to bow his head to eat noodles.
How do you look at this old man, he also looks like a ** ten years old, although his hair is white, but he is in good spirits, full of energy, his eyes are bright, and he has a transcendent taste.
Soon, two bowls of thick and mushy wild vegetable mixed noodles were served, sorghum white noodles mixed with noodles, and some dried vegetables cooked with the noodles were placed in them, and some celery cubes, cooked soybeans, crushed peanuts, and sesame paste were added to the noodles.
Wang Xiao took an iron spoon and tasted it, the taste was not amazing, but some of the farmhouse flavors that he was particularly familiar with when he was a child revealed the original rustic fragrance of miscellaneous grains and wild vegetables, so for him, it was a good food.
Yao Xuejia was a little embarrassed, the soup of this mixed noodle was as thick as porridge, there was no oil star in sight, the color was brown, and she didn't look very good, so it seemed that she had no appetite.
Seeing this, the white-bearded Weng who was sitting opposite smiled and said, "The girl's surname is Yao? ”
When Yao Xuejia heard this, she looked up at this strange old man, and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" ”
"Hehe, Peng Zhuoyuan's kid often mentions you, he slipped away as soon as you came just now, I guess you must be his childhood sweetheart Yao Xuejia." Bai Xu Weng smiled heartily, his voice was still clear and refreshing, without the slightest cloudiness.
"Does he often speak ill of me?" Yao Xuejia asked curiously.
"Huh...... I haven't said a word of bad things, but it's true that I often praise you. Shirakusu shook his head.
"I don't believe it......" Yao Xuejia said that she didn't believe it, but she felt much more comfortable in her heart, and the anger when she quarreled in the morning also subsided a little.
"Although that kid often comes to invite me to eat noodles, with my old man's character, I don't say good things for others because of a bowl of noodles. However, in my opinion, you two are a match made in heaven, and occasionally there are a little contradictions, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Bai Xu Weng narrowed his eyes, looked at Yao Xuejia, and said heartily.
"No way, he hates me so much now, he runs away when he sees me, how can there be a result? Uncle, I know you're comforting me, but thank you. Yao Xuejia sighed.
"He's not hating you, he's hating himself. I told him a long time ago that he is a double wife, and he is destined to have two women who will change his life, one is the girl who unfortunately died early two years ago, and the other is your childhood sweetheart. He hasn't come out of the last girl's heart yet, so you can't rush. If you really can't wait, you can try to understand him and assist him. That girl gave him the blessing of the second half of his life, so don't hate that girl, she is the one who has achieved Peng Zhuoyuan's infinite future and helped him break the catastrophe, you should be grateful to that girl. Bai Xu Weng squinted his eyes, calm and relaxed, and didn't care whether Yao Xuejia could listen to it or not, he just relied on his own meaning to tell the story.
Wang Xiao couldn't help but become interested in this white-bearded Weng, and silently used the "Eye of Death" to spy on the white-bearded Weng on the side.
If you don't look at it, you don't know it, and when you look at it, you can't see the slightest bit of righteousness and evil qi from Bai Xu Weng, and he can't see what diseases he has had in his life.
Wang Xiao was shocked, thinking that his ability was gone, and quickly looked at Yao Xuejia, only to find that he could still see the good and evil qi on Yao Xuejia's body.
Wang Xiao encountered this situation for the first time, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, but this old man is definitely not an ordinary person.
Yao Xuejia heard Bai Xuweng say so much, thought for a moment as if she didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, what is the relationship between you and Peng Zhuoyuan?" How come I've never heard him mention you. ”
"Me? Hehe, it doesn't matter, after he met the girl who worked in the mall a few years ago, he often came here to eat noodles with that girl, and we got to know each other over time. Later, I helped him measure his words, and he invited me to eat noodles until he went abroad. Now he's back, but the girl isn't there, hey! When Bai Xu Weng mentioned the girl, he sighed rather regretfully.
"Do you know how to measure words?" Yao Xuejia asked.
"Would you like to write a word and give it a try?" As he spoke, he took out a notebook from a cloth pocket beside him, took out a bottle of ink for three yuan a box, and a brush in a plastic bag, and put them on the long table one by one.
Bai Xu Weng dipped the pen in ink, and pushed it in front of Yao Xuejia together with the thick notebook, waiting for her to start writing.
Yao Xuejia hesitated for a long time, reached out to take the brush, stared at the book for a while, and wrote down a vigorous and powerful word "far".
She learned calligraphy with Peng Zhuoyuan when she was a child, and the person who taught them to write was the grandfather of Peng Zhuoyuan, who was well-known in the domestic calligraphy industry, and Yao Xuejia was more attentive than the naughty Peng Zhuoyuan when she practiced calligraphy, so her handwriting was quite good.
Bai Xu Weng looked at the word "far", pondered for a long time, and said to Yao Xuejia: "Do you know which word was the first word that kid wrote back then?" I guess you didn't guess that what he wrote was 'Jia', which is similar to your word 'far'. I won't say the word you, because all you have is him, so I'll tell you about his word 'Jia'. At that time, when I read his words, I clearly told him that he had two wives, one of whom saved his life for peace, and the other who made the rest of his life from a high house. I also assert that these two women have never met, and there will be some contradictions and ups and downs at the beginning, but they will become good sisters who admire each other in the later stage! You can go back and have a good understanding of your word 'far' and his word 'jia', which may inspire you. ”
Yao Xuejia was skeptical, and she couldn't understand the mystery.
"Uncle, if you don't mind, can you test the word for me?" Wang smiled politely.
"Miss Yao's word test is free, because Peng Xiaozi is my friend. If you want to test the characters, you have to follow the rules and pay 10 yuan in pen and ink first. Bai Xu Weng looked at Wang Xiao with a smile and said seriously.
"Well said!" Wang smiled as he spoke, took out his wallet, took out a ten-yuan bill, and placed it on the long table.
Bai Xu Weng handed the pen and ink to Wang Xiao again and asked him to write.
Wang Xiao has never practiced calligraphy, in order not to show timidity, after thinking for a moment, he wrote down the simplest word: one.
The word "one" is not beautiful, it is so casually scratched on the white paper, about three fingers long, like breaking a piece of chopsticks and printing it on it.
"Uncle, that's the word, you help me analyze and analyze." Wang Xiao put down his pen and said politely.
Yao Xuejia looked at his words, grinned, and said angrily: "You also call the word?" ”
"Ahem, this...... Those who are beautiful are people, and you can't deny that people are also people if you are not so beautiful? Wang Xiao teased awkwardly.
However, Bai Xu Weng didn't laugh at Wang Xiao's random stroke, he originally squinted his eyes, but then he narrowed so much that he couldn't see his eyes, his expression became more and more solemn, and his breathing slowed down.
"Uncle, I'm not joking, I'm serious, don't be angry!" Wang Xiao saw Bai Xu Weng staring at the word "one" that was stiff like a dry stick for a long time without speaking, and his expression became more and more heavy, thinking that Bai Xu Weng misunderstood him as a troublemaker, and quickly explained.
"Look, I said that your writing is too ugly, and you are still strong-mouthed, and now you can't even read the old man!" Yao Xuejia took the opportunity to sarcastically say.
"Oh...... I haven't practiced calligraphy before, so it's good to be able to write like this. Wang Xiao argued.
Bai Xu Weng pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, stared at Wang Xiao's eyes, and said very seriously: "I won't let you write this time, you only need to say one word." ”
"Hmm......" Wang Xiao looked up and thought about it, and said, "Snow." Heavy snow of snow. ”
After hearing this, Bai Xu Weng closed his eyes and meditated for a while, shook his head like a rattle, and then pushed the ten-yuan bill in front of Wang Xiao and returned it to him.
"Uncle, you're not really angry, are you?" Seeing this, Wang Xiao said embarrassedly.
Bai Xu Weng didn't say anything, picked up the brush, and with both hands, he broke the pen into two with a "click".
"Uncle, are you really angry?" Seeing this, Yao Baijia was also embarrassed.
Bai Xu Weng didn't answer, picked up the cloth bag, put the notebook in it, got up slowly, and when he turned around to leave, he was stunned for a moment, turned around again, and said to Wang Xiao earnestly: "I give you a piece of advice: get good luck, do the great trend, and there will be a great calamity after that; With love, accumulate virtue, it will become a great tool in the future; Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, courage and wisdom, and luck can be reversed. ”
Bai Xu Weng said, left Yao Xuejia, who was confused, left the thoughtful Wang Xiao, and left.
"This old man, the gods are chattering, it can't be that he is talking nonsense when he is old, right?" Yao Xuejia looked at the background of Bai Xu Weng and muttered to herself.
The stall owner's wife served food to the guests, and just heard Yao Xuejia's self-talk, so she couldn't help but interject: "He is a real master, don't look at him carrying an inconspicuous rag bag, setting up a stall on the street every day to measure words, in fact, he is not short of money at all, just idle and bored to pass the time." However, under normal circumstances, he doesn't tell people the truth, he just says good things that make people happy. I heard it just now, and what he said to you should not be a lie to make you happy. ”
"Auntie, does the old man come here every day?" Yao Xuejia asked.
"He only comes when the weather is good, and when it is cloudy and rainy or windy, he does not go out." The stall owner said.
Wang Xiao did not doubt Bai Xu Weng's words like Yao Xuejia, on the contrary, he was somewhat shocked in his heart, because from Bai Xu Weng's words, it could be heard that he knew Wang Xiao's special surname.
However, what made Wang Xiao taste it again and again was his advice, although he didn't understand it thoroughly for a while, it seems that it is necessary to come here often to eat noodles in the future.
"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"
A rapid ringing of the mobile phone interrupted Wang Xiao's deep thought, and after connecting, he heard that the other party took the initiative to report to his home, only to know that it was the newly appointed public security director Hong Yanmin calling.
It turned out that You Haozhi didn't know what kind of madness he had today, and he was frantically shouting in the detention center to see Wang Xiao, and if he couldn't see Wang Xiao, he would go on a hunger strike, and even bite his tongue and commit suicide.
The person who had been staring at You Haozhi didn't dare to be careless, and immediately asked for the opinion of his superiors, and because it was the director who personally supervised the case, it was transmitted to Director Hong Yanmin.
Director Hong did not dare to be careless, because this case involved the interests of many people, and there were also some political/political factors that were inconvenient to talk about.
Originally, he didn't think that Wang Xiao would play such an important role in this case, but now it seems that it is necessary to meet Wang Xiao and understand why Hao Zhi wants to see him......
When Wang Xiao heard the news, he was also a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out why You Haozhi suddenly wanted to see him.
However, since Director Hong called in person, he couldn't refuse, and after a little thought, he agreed to meet with Hong Bureau first.
Wang Xiao hung up Director Hong's phone, and immediately made another call to Wu Shuanglong, briefly explaining the situation.
Wu Shuanglong didn't have any opinions, but he just comforted him and could rest assured that Director Hong had a close relationship with his comrades-in-arms and would not embarrass him.
After Wang Xiao hung up Wu Shuanglong's phone, he got up and said to Yao Xuejia: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I have to go first." ”
After Yao Xuejia listened to Bai Xuweng's words, although she had not fully understood the mystery of those two words, she heard Bai Xuweng say that she and Peng Zhuoyuan still had a chance, whether it was true or not, her heart felt much better, and her mood improved.
At this moment, Wang Xiao proposed to leave, and she didn't have any opinion, anyway, now whether Wang Xiao goes or not, it doesn't matter to her anymore.
Therefore, Yao Xuejia didn't keep it, but just said to Wang Xiao: "If you have something, you can go first, I have to try to like the mixed noodles here, so I can't give it to you." ”
Although she tasted it, it was not her favorite taste, but in order to try to understand Peng Zhuoyuan, try to learn from the girl who no longer exists, but her influence is still strong, I hope that one day, Peng Zhuoyuan can find that she also has that girl's unique temperament, she must like what Peng Zhuoyuan cares about, even if it is just an inconspicuous bowl of mixed noodles.
Wang Xiao saw that Yao Xuejia was in a much better mood, and he was also relieved, smiled knowingly, and turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
