Chapter 1251: Eighteen Monsters
Wen Meng drove the jeep provided by Ye Feng, slowly driving in a string of cars with bright lights, with Wu Xueying sitting next to him and Wang Molin sitting in the back seat.
Wu Xueying looked at the lively provincial capital scene on both sides of the road with great interest for a while, then turned her head from the front seat and asked with a smile: "Director Wang, you and Director Ye have been muttering for so long, is there any news from the leopard head?" ”
Wang Molin said with a smile: "Ghost girl, I can't hide anything from you." That's right, Wan Lin and they have found some clues near the border, and they are now verifying."
He looked at the stop-and-go cars outside the window, and said, "It's past the rush hour, why are there still so many cars on the road?" Wen Meng, find a place to park the car, let's go find some snacks to try. It is said that there are eighteen monsters here, let's go taste it."
Wen Meng looked ahead and replied with a smile: "Okay, you can park in front." By the way, which eighteen monsters are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it," he said, slowly pulling over to the side of the road.
Wu Xueying laughed out loud at this time, and muttered words in her mouth: "Isn't it the eighteen monsters?" Listen to me: eggs are sold on grass skewers: take off the hat and use it as a pot lid; three mosquitoes in one dish; The torch can be used as a hookah, and the tsamba is called a bait; Falling in love with a doll on his back; Four seasons clothes and wear ......"
"Giggles" Wen Meng parked the car on the side of the road, turned his head and looked at Wu Xueying's chanting as if she was chanting a scripture, and couldn't help laughing, Wang Molin also laughed as she sat behind.
"Laughing at what? That's it," Wu Xueying snorted Wen Meng angrily. "What do you mean by three mosquitoes in one dish? Can mosquitoes still eat? Wen Meng asked, covering her mouth.
Wang Molin explained with a smile in the back: "It's not that mosquitoes can eat it, it's to describe that mosquitoes here are big." The weather here is relatively hot, and the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, so there are mosquitoes and flies all year round, especially the mosquitoes in the field and livestock pens are relatively large, so it is exaggerated that people say that there are 3 mosquitoes in a dish."
"What do you mean to fall in love with your daughter-in-law behind your back?" Wu Xueying also turned her head curiously at this time and asked, "You have such a neat back, why don't you know what it means?" Wen Meng knocked her on the head next to her.
"Hee-hee, I heard someone say it, and I wrote it down when I thought it was fun, and I don't know what it means?" Wu Xueying blushed and grinned.
Wang Molin also laughed: "Silly girl, I don't know what you mean, why are you carrying it?" He said and explained: "Falling in love with a daughter-in-law behind your back, this means that there are ethnic minorities here who are looking forward to people, and the daughter-in-law will return to the door a few days after being introduced to get married, and when she has a baby, she will go back to her mother-in-law's house to get together with her husband and start a real relationship."
"Hey, what's this custom? Is it that if you don't have a doll, you won't follow that man? Wu Xueying asked curiously, Wang Molin laughed and replied, "Then how do I know?" Go back and ask grandpa, their family has lived here for generations."
Wu Xueying touched her head with a puzzled face, her big eyes flashing and she didn't know what she was thinking? Wang Molin pushed the car door and got out of the car, there were many small carts selling snacks on the side of the road, and there were small bamboo benches in front of the carts.
Wang Molin, Wen Meng, and Wu Xueying went over and stretched their necks to look, and saw an old man standing behind a cart with a large cauldron on a small stove, covered with a large hat woven of bamboo brought by the locals.
Wu Xueying laughed: "There is one more strange thing among the eighteen monsters, that is: take off the hat as a pot lid." I know what's going on this time, giggles."
The old man in front of the stall heard Yingying's crisp laughter, looked up at Wu Xueying and Wen Meng who were wearing casual clothes, and smiled kindly: "Yes, we have a lot of bamboo here, this kind of hat can not only shade the sun and prevent rain, but it can also be used as a pot lid when cooking, but it is affordable, one thing is used for three purposes, when you go, the little girls take one back, you are not locals." Hehehe".
Wang Molin looked at the old man, sat on the small bench next to the small cart with a smile, looked at the big hat on the iron pot with interest and said, "You make rice noodles, right?" Look at your age, you should be an old man who has lived here for generations, and this should be our authentic rice noodles here."
The old man replied with a smile: "Of course, the absolute old way, the original taste will never be out of shape." How many of you have a try? ”
"Okay, try it, bring us a bowl" Wang Molin replied with a smile, and then beckoned Wen Meng and Wu Xueying to sit down, his eyes watching the old man get busy quickly.
Wang Molin watched Wen Meng and the two of them watch the old man's movements intently, and said with a smile: "You have not been to many places, and I don't know the tricks here." It is difficult to eat the original and good food in the restaurant, and if you want to taste the local special snacks, you have to go to this kind of food stall to eat, absolutely authentic."
At this time, the old man brought a bowl of steaming rice noodles and handed it to Wang Molin, and said with a smile: "At a glance, you know that you are a person who has seen the world, and if you want to eat authentic snacks, you must come to a stall like ours to eat, and it will definitely not change the taste." We are all poor people who have lived here for generations, and we can't afford to rent those storefronts, it's too expensive. But what we made, that's the absolutely authentic local food," he said, and served the other two bowls of rice noodles to Wen Meng and Wu Xueying.
The three of them ate with relish, Wu Xueying and Wen Meng admired while eating, but their eyes searched around, wanting to see what delicious food the surrounding vendors were selling?
At this moment, a question came from the stall more than ten meters away: "What is this delicious?" "The tone is very stiff.
Wang Molin heard the sound and tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the direction from which the voice came from the corner of his eye. Wen Meng and Wu Xueying also turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, and suddenly saw Wang Molin's eyes staring at them, and the two suddenly remembered the precautions for tracking and observing, and quickly lowered their heads and ate again.
After a few people finished eating, Wang Molin smiled and said to Wen Meng: "Mengmeng, you have a treat today" After speaking, he pulled Wu Xueying to stand up, then turned around and gave the old man a thumbs up to indicate that it was delicious, and then took Wu Xueying to the jeep on the side of the road.
Wen Meng paid the bill slowly, got up and walked back to the jeep. The three of them got into the car, and Wen Meng and Wu Xueying raised their heads through the window and glanced at the food stall where the voice came from just now.
In front of the food stall more than 20 meters away, there were two men in sportswear, about 30 years old, with straight bodies, at this time they were holding their arms in front of their chests, stretching their heads, curiously looking at a large iron pot placed on the small cart, sniffing vigorously and smelling the aroma coming out of it, and whispering what was going on in their mouths?
