Chapter 47: Encounter
Back in Beijing, I suddenly lost contact with Ah Yue, before losing contact, Ah Yue would often send telegrams to me, and every telegram was the same content, just three words "I love you". After losing contact, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't help but want to rush back to Zosa.
Walking out of the gate of the National Conservatory of Music, I saw a person, a person standing in the twilight of Beijing, it was Ah Yue. I rubbed my eyes, was it my nervousness, it was Ah Yue. It was Ah Yue, Ah Yue also saw me and ran towards me, but because he ran too quickly, Ah Yue fell to the ground. I ran forward, helped Ah Yue up, and said, "Let me see, are you hurt?"
Ah Yue replied, "I thought I would never see you again."
Ah Yue and I hugged each other tightly, Ah Yue cried and laughed and said: "I asked a lot of people, English, French, Hani, Yi, Burmese, Vietnamese have all been spoken, no one knows you, from the morning here, it's getting dark, I'm desperate, I can't see you again, I don't know where to go." People who came by pointed fingers at me, and some people said I was crazy. ”
I asked Ah Yue, "How do you know that people say you're crazy?"
Ah Yue said: "When they saw me speaking English, they said, 'The current madman can actually speak English, and the level of this madness is quite high.'"
I said to Ah Yue, "I'm going to the train station now."
Ah Yue said nervously, "Where are you going?"
I said to Ah Yue, "Where else can I go?" I'm looking for you. Didn't I make you wait for me? ”
Ah Yue said to me, "But I really can't wait." I'll wait, who knows if I can wait for you, so I chose to come to you, no, I did the right thing.
I said to Ah Yue, "You did the right thing, what if you can't touch me?" If you can't touch me, what if something happens? Do you know how worried I have been since we lost contact? ”
Ah Yue looked at me like a child who had done something wrong, and said coquettishly, "I'm hungry."
I said to Ah Yue: Let's go, I'll take you to find something to eat.
Ah Yue took my arm and hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid of losing me. At this time, Ah Yue is not like the brave girl who dares to protect me with her own life, but a girl next door who is ignorant of the world. From the distant city of Wasa to the provincial capital of Kunming, and then from Kunming to Beijing, I don't know what I have experienced.
Ah Yue is not the kind of mountain woman who has never seen the world, my real worry is that she has a language barrier, she can't communicate with people, and everything in front of her is a strange world. That's the hardest part. The person she faced said that she was going to kill her, and she didn't know that the heart of the world was something she had never experienced, but maybe one experience would be lost for a lifetime. One of my female classmates got on a train, disappeared, and never returned to Beijing. Ah Yue dared to come to me without caring about anything, thinking of this, my heart felt very warm, the warmth of being loved deeply. But scared, what would I do if she disappeared?
Ah Yue's dress is still the unique dress of a car woman. The short clothes and shorts show the arms and long legs, and the whole person looks like the fruitful fruit of autumn, with 7cm high heels on his feet, and the silverware on his chest ringing like wind chimes. Ever since she met me, Ah Yue has been smiling, as excited as a child who has lost something he loves and suddenly finds something he has lost.
I took Ah Yue to the Wangfujing Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, sat down, and said to the waiter, "Come on half a roast duck."
Ah Yue said to the waiter: "I heard that Peking duck is famous all over the world, I want one."
I said to Ah Yue: "Peking duck is the most authentic in this Quanjude." Quanjude adopts the hanging oven roasting method and does not disembowel the duck. Only make a small hole in the duck's body, take out the internal organs, then pour boiling water into the duck's belly, and then tie the small hole and hang it on the fire to roast. This method does not let the duck lose water due to being roasted, but also can make the skin of the duck swell and not be roasted softly, the roasted duck skin is very thin and crispy, it is the best part of the roast duck, only this roasting method is called Peking duck. ”
When the Peking duck was brought to the table, Ah Yue said, "It's so fragrant!" Reach out and grab it. ”
I said to Ah Yue: "When roasting Peking duck, it should be fueled by jujube wood, pear wood and other fruit trees, and use an open flame. When the fruit wood is fired, it is smokeless, the bottom fire is vigorous, and the burning time is long. After the duck is put into the oven, the position of the duck should be changed regularly with a lever, so that the duck is heated evenly and can be roasted all over the body. The roasted duck has a full appearance, a jujube red color, a crispy skin, and a charred exterior and tender inside. ”
Ah Yue said to me: "Don't just say how to do it, I don't open a roast duck restaurant."
I said to Ah Yue, "I still like to eat those inexplicable things in the Sasa."
Ah Yue said to me while eating, "How can it be inexplicable?"
I said to Ah Yue, "Because, because I can't find words to express them." Looking at Ah Yue's mouth full of oil, I said to Ah Yue, you have to go with some vegetarian dishes, you add these vegetarian dishes to eat, these soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, bowl bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, fried sauerkraut, kimchi, vermicelli, leeks, fried soybeans, shredded egg skin, plus whip green onion and sweet noodle sauce. "There is a book called Tokyo Menghualu that describes how to eat Peking duck. Watching Ah Yue eat with a mouth full of oil, I was very happy.
No matter how good the food in the world is, it depends on what kind of people you enjoy it with. What if you're dealing with someone who is boring or even annoying, what about the best delicacy in the world? But it's different from your beloved, what about green and white bitter herbs? You can still eat the best warmth in the world. Therefore, it doesn't really matter what you eat, what matters is who you are with. ”
Ah Yue said to me: "You look at me in a daze, is my eating look ugly?" If you look at it this way, I'm embarrassed to eat it. I said, watching you eat, I think of some interesting things in Han culture, such as the four words 'beautiful and delicious', which means that beautiful things can be enjoyed as food, and I think this is interesting at this time. ”
Ah Yue said to me, "Oh, I understand, it's just treating me as food."
The meaning seems to be like this, but this interpretation is vulgar, Chinese is different from the language of other races, the language of other races is ideographic, but the Han nationality is formal, and if you interpret a word in another way, the meaning is not that meaning.
Leaving Quanjude in Wangfujing, Ah Yue said: "I'm very tired, I want to sleep."
I said to Ah Yue, "Don't you want to see the night view of the capital?"
Ah Yue said: "Of course I want to, but I can't open my eyes, as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter where I'm there."
Ah Yue said to me: "I can't walk anymore, I want you to carry me."
I said to Ah Yue, "Do you think it's in Wasa? You simply can't imagine how big the capital of the great Motherland is. ”
Let's find a taxi.
Ah Yue said: "I really can't take a step now."
I said to Ah Yue: "Okay, well, carry you, I'll carry you."
Walking in the night of Beijing with Ah Yue on my back, I remembered walking in the sunshine of Saisa with Ah Yue on my back.
Ah Yue put her on my back and said, "Where are we going now?"
I said to Ah Yue, "Of course it's going home."
Ah Yue said, "If the people in your family don't like me, what should I do?"
I said to Ah Yue: "If you don't like it, we will have to elope." The world is so big, are you still worried about not being able to find a place to go? Let's go back to Eusa. ”
Ah Yue said to me: "It's okay to go back to Huisa, but if your family doesn't like me, it's not a good thing after all." So, I want to see your family and I'm afraid to see your family, so I'm nervous right now. ”
