Qin Ran came to the gate of Jiangzhou Park ten minutes in advance, and at this time, the gate of the park was full of people, and the crowd of people who came to play was bustling.

Just two days after New Year's Day in 1998, the new year was new, and many citizens took advantage of the weekend to drag their families and take their families to visit the park together.

In a conspicuous position in the large flower bed in front of the main entrance, Qin Ran found a place to stand, so that Wang Yaxuan could see him for the first time. After about five minutes, a flash of red suddenly appeared in the crowd, and the dazzling light made Qin Ran lock on to the target at first sight.

With a red coat and an off-white scarf, casual jeans on the lower body, and a pair of small brown leather boots on her feet, Wang Yaxuan, who was tied up in a ponytail, looked particularly energetic, like a strong light everywhere she passed. If life is a stage, then she is a star when she appears.

Seeing the girl walking towards him, he could already see that a charming smile began to appear on her face, but Qin Ran felt a little uncomfortable. Because he felt that the flow of people around him seemed to stop moving for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on him at the same time. He was like a commodity on a container, and he was scanned countless times with his eyes, asking how this ordinary-looking boy could get the favor of this mysterious girl.

"What, am I late?"

Seeing Qin Ran's somewhat strange expression, Wang Yaxuan looked at the watch in her hand and found that the pointer was still at 9:56, earlier than the agreed time.

"No, I just arrived. Your scarf is special and has a special temperament, so I took a second look. ”

Qin Ran was steady, and casually found a passable excuse to cover up the gaffe just now.

"Thank you! This is my own newly knitted scarf, and it seems to be okay, and some people praised it when it debuted. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Yaxuan was ingenious and would knit a scarf by herself. Judging from her dress, the conditions at home should not be bad, such a girl is rare today, Qin Ran said in his heart.

"You don't mind if I admire it, do you?"

Qin Ran had an idea, and the chaotic eyes around him made him a little angry, and he decided to fight back with practical actions.

"Hmm!"

Wang Yaxuan generously untied the scarf from her neck and handed it to the boy in front of her. I don't know why, she feels very relieved about this mysterious boy, maybe Qin Ran looks more honest.

After taking the scarf, Qin Ran's cold hands came with bursts of residual girl's residual warmth in the scarf, which was warm and intimate.

"Fishbone needles and double ingots, the difficulty is quite high, it's really good." Qin Ran carefully weighed the scarf for a while, then looked up and said to Wang Yaxuan.

Seeing the two passing scarves to each other, the crowd that had originally planned to watch the excitement finally dispersed, and they were able to make such an intimate gesture, so the relationship between men and women was revealed.

Qin Ran felt his body relax in an instant, and there were no more annoying stares behind him, it seemed that his little trick had worked. He carefully returned the scarf to Wang Yaxuan.

"Have you thought about what to take me to taste today?

Wang Yaxuan continued to wrap the scarf, but she didn't forget today's theme.

"You'll find out later!"

Jiangzhou is an ancient city, and the central urban area is not very large, Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan shuttled through the alleys. The sunlight reflected on them through the dappled leaves, which was particularly dazzling. Boys and girls one after the other, silent communication, tacit pace, from a distance, seems to have a small and fresh taste of the city.

Qin Ran wanted to go back and talk to the girl several times, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed again. Because he suddenly realized that he was short of words, and he didn't know what to talk about casually with the girl. At this time, Qin Ran began to understand why some men could talk endlessly for three days and three nights in the same sex, but when they came to the opposite sex, they were completely speechless.

In fact, the root cause is that the two people are not familiar with each other and know too little about each other. Except for a simple intersection in school, there has been no ordinary daily contact outside of school.

Qin Ran didn't speak, and Wang Yaxuan didn't take the initiative to speak, but just walked slowly behind him very quietly. can make the girl who has been dazzling in front of everyone willing to put away her edge and follow behind, if you let familiar people see it, you will definitely be surprised and can't believe your eyes.

The destination finally appeared in front of him, and Qin Ran found an opportunity to break the deadlock.

"When I arrived, the legendary old shop with the most authentic fried rice cakes in Jiangzhou, the rice cakes in it are a big attraction. I also learned about it through a recommendation, so today we are going to try her handicraft. ”

After Qin Ran went home last night, he gave a task to his "housekeeper" Li Desheng, asking him to help find a special shop that could represent Jiangzhou. As a result, Li Desheng recommended this old store called "Zhen's Rice Cake", and patted his chest to ensure that the quality was first-class, and also focused on the storage of rice cake Xi Shi.

At the mouth of the alley, there is a yellow flag with red borders, embroidered with the four big characters of "Zhen's rice cake". In the antique store, there are constantly neighbor-like characters coming in and out. Looking through the window, you can see that there are several square tables in the store, and the tables are full of people.

"Business seems to be doing well, and it seems that things should be good." Wang Yaxuan nodded with some satisfaction, and ran behind Qin Ran for fifteen minutes, and now it seems that this trip should be in vain.

"Guest officer, several, please come with me."

"Both!"

The shop guy dressed in ancient costumes welcomed Qin Ran and the others into the store, and led them to a location by a window, which happened to be a two-person table.

"Two crab fried rice cakes!"

Qin Ran followed the strategy given by Li Desheng and ordered the most well-known fried rice cake in the store.

The traditional custom of Jiangzhou is to eat rice cakes in the New Year, which means that after eating rice cakes, everything will be smooth. Under the crooked attack, Qin Ran chose a good place to fulfill his promise.

The hot dish is quickly served, the fried red sea crab bursts with fragrance, and the slices of rice cake poured with thick oil and vinegar are golden brown, and the fresh and soft texture makes people have an endless aftertaste.

"The taste is very positive, count you through today!"

Wang Yaxuan took chopsticks and mixed the rice cake with crab roe, elegantly cut it with a spoon, and then put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly before saying.

This is in stark contrast to someone who is eating so much that the corners of his mouth are stained with oil, Qin Ran ate a boiled egg in the morning and came out, he walked for a while just now, and his stomach was already hungry. Now under the stimulation of food, he has a great appetite, and it doesn't matter if the beauty is around, filling his stomach is the first element.

The ancients said that if there is no desire, it is rigid.

Qin Ran didn't have the slightest thought about Wang Yaxuan in his heart, and he came out today entirely because he admired her in his heart for helping a junior student like himself to make up for the class. Therefore, after his stomach was full, he figured this out and decided to treat Wang Yaxuan as an ordinary person to avoid the coldness and embarrassment when he came on foot before.

"Anyway, the tuition is finally over, and this meal is considered our graduation celebration." Qin Ran picked up the water cup on the table and greeted Wang Yaxuan.

"Well, I hope you get good grades in your final exam!" Wang Yaxuan also picked up the water glass in front of her.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

The cups of the two of them touched each other.

"I looked around, but I didn't find the rice cake Shih Tzu you said?"

After putting the cup down, Wang Yaxuan finally couldn't hold back the gossip fire in her heart and looked around.

"Who said? Far away in front of me, isn't it just across from me? The girl's gossip made Qin Ran rarely relaxed, and if he couldn't find it before, he could come one by one casually.

The girl reacted immediately and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Well, I guess no one dares to eat what I made!" If Dong Shi follows suit, he will not dare to spread wild on other people's territory. ”

Qin Ran was also full of curiosity about the rice cake Shih Tzu in his heart, he raised his hand and called the shop guy to ask where the well-known rice cake Shih Tzu was sacred?

The shopkeeper secretly pointed to the imbeneably fat middle-aged woman at the cash register, and muttered in a low voice: "Na, it's our proprietress who is known as the rice cake Shih Tzu." ”

"Oh-"

Qin Ran and Wang Yaxuan were dumbfounded, shocked by the truth.

"I think you're more competent, if the food you make is not delicious, then at least you can make up for it!"

"Qin Ran, you ......"

On the first weekend of the new year, Qin Ran felt that he still had some gains today, because he had another ordinary friend in the class - "Rice Cake Xi Shi".
