Since the new century, with the continuous improvement of economic development, Bo County has become a rather prosperous county, with high-rise buildings, more and more girls who love beauty, and beauty salons have slowly gained a place in this rustic county.

But in any city or town in the Celestial Empire, the best development is the catering industry, and Boxian County is no exception, with at least five or six restaurants on each street, and countless stalls selling breakfast.

The chengguan here is very kind, and it can even be said that it is inactive, so no matter day or night, there are unlicensed stalls on the roadside, or small vendors selling fruits and vegetables on three wheels.

Compared with the big cities, the people of Bo County are relatively simple, and there are many Hui people living here, especially in the southern part of the county, where there is a mosque with a history of more than 100 years, and more than 70% of the people here are Hui.

If there is a foreigner who is hungry and has nothing to eat here, he only needs to find a random Hui person and say 'Saiwab', and the Hui person will know that you are asking for food, and will give you one or ten yuan, and if you show that you have no money to eat, the Hui will take you home, or directly invite you to eat a full meal outside.

This is the expression of the customs and unity of the Hui people, and at the same time a universal nature of Islam - Allah's love for the world. Of course, Allah is 'especially merciful' to those who believe in Him.

In September, Bo County had cooled down, and the yellow leaves could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and it was already evening, Lin Qiuyun pushed a small cart to an intersection and stopped at the south.

Lin Qiuyun is a native of Bo County, only 18 years old this year, more than 1.75 meters tall, and has a beautiful appearance. The figure is also concave and convex, because of the relationship between perennial labor, it looks relatively strong.

But Lin Qiuyun is a hard-working person, her mother has been in poor health since giving birth to her, and she died when she was ten years old, and her father also borrowed wine to drown her sorrows when she was thirteen years old, wandering outside in the middle of the night, accidentally fell from the bridge, and when she found the body, she had been gnawed by the fish and only half of her face was left.

Since then. Lin Qiuyun became an orphan, but Lin Qiuyun was very strong, and he dropped out of school to support himself at the age of thirteen, because of the laxity in the management of Bocheng, Lin Qiuyun concealed his age and worked as a waiter in the hotel for two years, but after two years, he was molested by a drunken guest and was so frightened that he never went to the hotel again.

Later, Lin Qiuyun went to the shopping mall to stand at the counter one after another, and set up a stall in the night market. The money to be saved was almost over, so last year I found a welder to weld a special trolley for fried skewers, bought some materials for fried skewers, and set up a stall at the intersection not far from home. Fried skewers.

Over the past year, the business has gradually stabilized, and now she earns five or six thousand a month, for a girl who is only eighteen years old. It can be said that the income is very high, but only she knows the hard work behind Lin Qiuyun.

"Autumn clouds. It's coming! An old lady who set up a stall selling shoes next to her said hello to Lin Qiuyun.

Lin Qiuyun smiled and nodded: "Here, Grandma Zhang, have you eaten?" Do you want to eat two fried skewers? ”

"Hehe, I've eaten, by the way, my grandson will come over in a while, you know each other." The old lady said with a smile.

Lin Qiuyun had a trace of helplessness on her face, and said with a wry smile: "Grandma Zhang, you are here again." ”

"What is it to know it, if you look at the right eye, you will be my granddaughter-in-law in the future." The old lady laughed.

Lin Qiuyun shook his head, took out the skewers he had worn from the lower layer of the cart, and placed them on it one by one, there were chicken gizzards, flesh and bones, quail eggs, sausages, fish balls, cabbage, etc., there were many types, bright colors, and they looked very appetizing.

Although it was just out of the stall, guests soon came to Lin Qiuyun's stall, and Lin Qiuyun was also busy attentively.

Unconsciously, the time was half past seven in the evening, and the fried skewers brought by Lin Qiuyun were almost sold, leaving only two baked cakes and a cabbage skewer, seeing that there were no customers, Lin Qiuyun turned off the fire and planned to close the stall.

At this moment, a man in ragged clothes and a tall figure walked slowly, saw the leftover baked cakes and cabbage skewers on Lin Qiuyun's cart, swallowed his saliva, and his eyes radiated a hungry green light.

Lin Qiuyun looked at this man, and his first impression was that he was so tall!

He is almost two meters tall, his clothes are in tatters, and he looks like a beggar, but the strange thing is that this person's face, hair and hands are very clean, he looks like he is in his twenties, although he is not particularly handsome, but he is very attractive, especially those eyes, from time to time they show a melancholy color, like a noble son in distress.

"This ......" The man suddenly spoke, his face was a little red, and he pointed to the baked cake: "Can you give it to me?" Afraid that the girl would refuse, he hurriedly added, "I will return it to you later." ”

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Lin Qiuyun smiled slightly: "It's okay, anyway, it's sold leftovers, you can eat it if you want!" Don't want money, wait for me to blow it up. ”

"Thank you, thank you, you're such a nice guy." The man was very moved, and his eyes were a little red.

Lin Qiuyun looked at him a little strangely, but didn't say anything, turned on the fire again, heated the oil, put the baked cakes and cabbage skewers into the oil pot and fried them, and after a while, Lin Qiuyun cut a slit in the middle of the two baked cakes, smeared them with sauce, and then divided the cabbage skewers into two parts and stuffed them into the baked cakes, put them in a plastic bag and handed them to the man: "Give." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The man took it with a grateful face, and devoured the roasted cake with cabbage.

"Eat slowly." Lin Qiuyun took out a bottle of mineral water from the carriage, unscrewed it and handed it to the man: "Drink some water, don't choke." ”

"Thank you." The man was even more grateful.

"You're welcome." Lin Qiuyun smiled slightly and asked, "Listening to your accent, it doesn't seem to be a local, where is your hometown?" ”

The man drank and shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?"

"I seem to have lost my memory." A hint of melancholy flashed in the man's eyes: "Since I woke up, I don't remember who I am." ”

"Really?" Lin Qiuyun looked at the man with a hint of strangeness: "I forgot even my name?" ”

"Name?" The man frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head blankly.

"Then you're so pathetic." Lin Qiuyun said with some sympathy.

The man shook his head, ate all the baked cakes in three or two bites, drank all the mineral water, and although he was only three points full, he was no longer hungry.

"Thank you, I will repay you later." The man said.

Lin Qiuyun shook his head: "It's okay, it's not easy for anyone." You're like that again...... Besides, two baked cakes and a bunch of cabbage, which add up to five pieces of each, is nothing. ”

"The grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, in short, I will definitely repay you." The man stared at Lin Qiuyun's eyes and said seriously.

Lin Qiuyun subconsciously flashed the man's gaze, his face turned red, and said, "Whatever you want, I'm going to close the stall and go home, ...... Do you have a place to live? ”

The man grinned: "I rubbed a bed in the hospital last night. ”

Lin Qiuyun chuckled: "You are so smart." ”

"It's alright!" The man scratched his head and said, "I'll send you home!" Yes! I mean. You are too tired to push this car, I will help you push it home, even if it is good to repay you. ”

Hearing that the man was going to send her home, Lin Qiuyun was a little hesitant, but feeling the man's sincerity, Lin Qiuyun nodded with a ghostly gesture: "Then trouble you." ”

"No trouble, it should be." The man immediately helped Lin Qiuyun pack up all the things on the cart, and then walked side by side with Lin Qiuyun with the cart.

Soon after, the two walked into a street full of bungalows. The intersection of the street is not very wide, the trolley pushes in, and at most one bicycle can pass next to it, and there are no street lights in the alley. It appears darker.

Lin Qiuyun turned on the small flashlight he was carrying, and a pillar of light shone on the road in front of him: "The road surface here is not very smooth, push it slowly." ”

"Okay." The man nodded, pushing the cart steadily. While asking: "It's so remote here, you are a girl who often comes back so late, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?" ”

Lin Qiuyun smiled: "No." Our people here are still very simple, there has only been one rape case in decades, and the perpetrators are outsiders......"

Lin Qiuyun suddenly fell silent, because the man next to her was also a foreigner.

The man seemed to have guessed Lin Qiuyun's thoughts, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." ”

Feeling the man's panic, Lin Qiuyun chuckled: "I know that the eldest brother is not a bad person, and although this place is a little remote, there are many residents, as long as there is a little movement, they will run out, and most of them are Hui people here, I am also a Hui people, and the Hui people will not watch their Dosti suffer." ”

"What is Dosti?" The man was puzzled.

"Oh, it's a way of saying Islam, you can understand it as a friend, or a member of the church." Lin Qiuyun explained.

"Oh, Dosti......" The man read these three words and nodded: "The Hui people are really united." ”

"I can't say Muslims! Ethnic minorities are united. Lin Qiuyun smiled: "Hanmin is just too many people, so it is not as good as the unity of ethnic minorities." ”

"Hmm." The man nodded: "That's why there are traitors, but I haven't heard of traitors." ”

"Haha...... big brother, it's really interesting for you to talk." Lin Qiuyun chuckled.

The man smiled, and soon after, he came to the door of a detached bungalow.

The door of the bungalow is a double wooden door, more than one meter and a half wide.

Lin Qiuyun took out the key to open the gate, and entered a small courtyard, there was a canopy on the right side of the courtyard, Lin Qiuyun pointed to the canopy: "Big brother, just push the car there." ”

"Okay." The man nodded, pushed the car into the canopy, and took a general look, there are houses on the north and south sides of the courtyard, the door of the south house is closed, and the things inside can not be seen clearly, but the terrain is relatively low, the house is also relatively low, there are two steps on the lower edge of the north house, the terrain is relatively high, and it is a tile house with a triangular roof.

For a person, this house is obviously relatively large, and it can be more than 100 square meters with a courtyard.

Lin Qiuyun turned on the light in the south room and said to the man, "Big brother, come in and sit down for a while!" I'll pour you a glass of water. ”

The man shook his head again and again: "No, it's so late, it's not good for your reputation to be spread by lonely men and widows, I'll leave first, you go to bed early!" ”

These words made Lin Qiuyun's heart feel relieved, and he said, "Okay then! I'll send you. ”

"Don't send it, close the door!" The man walked out of the courtyard gate and waved his hand at Lin Qiuyun.

"Big brother, you go slowly."

"Got it."

In response, the man's figure faded into the darkness.

When Lin Qiuyun saw this man again, it was already three days later.

It was still night, when the man appeared in front of Lin Qiuyun hungry, his eyes kept staring at the fried skewers on the cart, and a wry smile of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Compared to three days ago. The man's clothes turned into an old black suit with a gray cardigan underneath, a pair of washed whitish blue jeans underneath, and a pair of old black leather shoes on his feet.

Although they are all very old clothes, they look very stylish when worn on men.

Lin Qiuyun had a smile on his face: "Big brother, do you know how to brush noodles?" ”

The man nodded repeatedly: "Yes." ”

"Then help me brush the pasta!" Lin Qiuyun pointed to the freshly fried chicken cutlet on the right plate: "Brush a layer of sauce on both sides, sprinkle some cumin and chili noodles." ”

"Okay." The man rolled up his sleeves, walked to Lin Qiuyun's side, and picked up a brush to dip it in the sauce. Brush up skillfully on the chicken cutlets.

Lin Qiuyun couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the man's movements, she thought that the man would be very clumsy to do this, but she didn't expect that it would be like a master who has fried skewers for many years, and he is extremely skilled.

With the help of the man, Lin Qiuyun's workload dropped sharply, and he sent all the customers away soon after, but at this time, Lin Qiuyun did not stop and took out all kinds of fried skewers on the plate. Put it in a frying pan and fry it.

The man blinked: "Does anyone else buy it?" ”

Lin Qiuyun smiled slightly: "No one buys it, but I'm hungry, anyway, there aren't many of them, big brother, you can eat with me!" ”

This is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open. But the man was very moved, and pursed his lips: "Okay, I'll accompany you to eat some." ”

"There's some water down there, drink some more with me."

“…… Good. I'll have a drink with you. ”

After that, a few more customers came one after another, but they were all sent away by Lin Qiuyun on the grounds of 'selling out', and the man ate fried skewers silently. There was a glint of emotion in his eyes.

"Big brother...... Lin Qiuyun ate fish balls and asked, "Where have you been these days?" Where did this dress come from? ”

The man scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I've been trying to find a job these days, but no one has accepted me, as for this dress, it was given to me by an aunt, saying that it was his son's clothes." ”

"Oh." Lin Qiuyun comforted: "They don't accept you, maybe because you are a foreigner and you don't have an ID card!" After all, whoever opens the door must also find some local and reassuring employees, anyway, brother, haven't you remembered your name? ”

The man shook his head, his expression a little gloomy.

"It's okay, I'll remember it slowly." Lin Qiuyun could only comfort two words at this time, and then asked, "Big brother, I see that you are quite skilled in brushing noodle sauce just now!" Maybe you've worked as a chef before. ”

"Really?" The man looked puzzled and frowned: "I don't know, I just think it's very skillful, as if I was born with it." ”

"Well, you must have been a chef before you lost your memory." Lin Qiuyun nodded vigorously, and then chuckled: "I didn't expect that I would also have a day when I asked the chef to give me a hand." ”

After a pause, Lin Qiuyun said: "Big brother, since you are a chef, it is better to go to the restaurant to apply for a job, as long as you show your hand, the hotel owner will definitely hire you with a high salary." ”

"Really?" The man frowned: "But I've been to a few restaurants in the past few days, and they don't want me." ”

"What kind of hotel are they?"

"It's a small restaurant."

"......" Lin Qiuyun covered his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, the small restaurants are all opened by the chefs themselves, they can be chefs themselves, how can they still use you!" You should go to those big hotels and restaurants. ”

"Oh?"

"So be it!" Lin Qiuyun said: "The weather forecast says that there will be rain tomorrow, and I can't go out of the stall on a rainy day, so you go to my house tomorrow morning to find me, and I will take you to the hotel to have a look." ”

"This ...... Not good! Won't it be too much trouble for you? The man hesitated.

"No, it won't." Lin Qiuyun said with a smile: "Idle is also idle, so it's decided." ”

The man hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”

In the blink of an eye, the next day came.

Early in the morning, the sky was overcast, and it could rain at any time, the man came out of the hospital, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "It rains at one hour and three minutes, and it rains at two hours and two minutes and three minutes, and the rain is 5 mm, and the wind is northwest, and the rain stops for a moment, and it rains again at five hours and seven minutes, and the rain is 7 mm, and the wind is northwest, and the rain stops for two minutes, and the rain stops at three hours and nine minutes." ”

The man was stunned and rubbed his head: "What was I talking about just now?" ”

Shaking his head, the man left the hospital and went straight to Lin Qiuyun's house.

Bocheng is just a small county town, the area is very small, the hospital where the man is located is only about a kilometer away from Lin Qiuyun's house, and it only takes ten minutes to walk faster.

When he came to Lin Qiuyun's door and knocked on the door, Lin Qiuyun was eating breakfast.

"Big brother, you're here!" When he opened the door and saw the man, Lin Qiuyun smiled: "Come in, have you eaten?" ”

The man walked in and laughed dryly: "Not yet." ”

"Let's have some food together!" Lin Qiuyun closed the door and said with a smile: "I just cooked the noodle soup, and there are a lot of them!" ”

"No, I'm not hungry."

Mutter~~~~~~~~~

Seeing the man's embarrassed appearance, Lin Qiuyun smiled: "Big brother, don't be polite, let's eat together!" ”

As he spoke, Lin Qiuyun filled a large bowl of noodle soup, took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to the man: "Do you want vinegar?" ”

"No thanks." The man took the soup and ate it in large gulps.

Seeing the man gobbling up, Lin Qiuyun smiled slightly, peeled a garlic clove and threw it into the man's bowl: "Garlic cloves detoxify and are good for the body." ”

The man nodded, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

After breakfast, Lin Qiuyun poured a cup of hot water and handed it to the man, saying: "Big brother, I thought about it yesterday, you just brush the noodle sauce to prove that you are a chef, I went to the vegetable market early this morning to buy some vegetables and meat, you can cook a few dishes for me in a while, in case you can't do it, let's go to the restaurant and make jokes." ”
