Chapter 279. Darker than the night
Jingjiang City, Guixi Province, a tourist city famous for its scenery, two rivers run through the whole city, forming many lakes, the unique karst landform forms the mountains and mountains, the karst caves are gorgeous and colorful, every year, there are countless Chinese and foreign tourists come to visit.
For Jiang Rongfang, the scenery here is a big one since childhood.
Her family lives in the south of the city, near a scenic spot called Xishan, high school in Jingjiang Middle School, is in the middle of the city, high school days, Jiang Rongfang rides a bicycle to and from school every day, along the way is the beautiful scenery of the landscape.
However, Jiang Rongfang did not like Jingjiang at that time, after all, Guixi Province is located in the border of China, the terrain is mountainous, and the development speed is very slow, Jingjiang started by tourism, and does not support heavy industry and other industries that can quickly raise the economic level, so in Jiang Rongfang's cognition, Jingjiang is a dilapidated small city.
At Jingjiang Middle School, where she studied, many people also shared her thoughts, including Jiang Rongfang's ex-boyfriend.
After the college entrance examination, the two who had good grades filled in the universities in other provinces, wanting to see the outside world, but by mistake, one of the two won the first choice, and the other fell to the second choice.
After returning home, she also tried to find some jobs, but for various reasons it didn't last long, and in the end, Jiang Rongfang could only choose to inherit the family business.
Her family is not rich, just an ordinary barbecue restaurant.
Chiang Kee Barbecue is located at the back of the Seongnam Railway Station, on a commercial street once known as the "Food City", which was once a glorious street market more than a decade ago, but now it has long since declined, and the food shops have closed their doors and replaced by the offices of various travel agencies.
Only Chiang Kee barbecue, which has always been firm.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, business has not decreased, perhaps because the students who have gone far away have come home during the holidays, and they have remembered this small barbecue shop from snacks to large.
Jiang Rongfang looked at these customers who were a little mature, but still a child in essence, and felt a little nostalgic.
"What the hell do you see, then the guests of Kaili order miles?"
Her mother urged in her native dialect, causing Jiang Rongfang to roll her eyes and hand the list in her hand to her mother.
On the other side, Jiang Rongfang's milk ** was gray, but she did not show her old state at all, she was holding two bamboo sticks in her hands, and the bamboo skewers were skewered mutton, which was flying on the charcoal stove.
Jiang Rongfang's grandfather died at an early age, her grandmother was the leader of the barbecue, and her mother could only be regarded as just getting started, as for Jiang Rongfang, she can only skewer meat at present, and she is not qualified to go to the grill.
In the words of grandma, when people come to eat barbecue, what they eat is an unchanged taste, and Jiang Rongfang has not yet honed her barbecue skills to let her go to the main barbecue, which is irresponsible to the guests.
"Your dishes."
Jiang Rongfang handed the barbecue on an iron plate to a table of guests, and couldn't help but look at it twice.
The guests at this table were clearly not locals, speaking Mandarin without any Guixi accent, and they were eating barbecue while pointing to the meat on the skewers, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Mom, that table of guests seems a little weird?"
Jiang Rongfang took back the empty plate at the other table and couldn't help but say to her mother.
"Don't think about it."
Her mother knocked on Jiang Rongfang's head and was busy greeting new guests.
As it approached two o'clock in the evening, the number of guests gradually decreased, except for one table that looked like a college student on winter vacation, talking about college life with beer and grilled fish, and the other table of guests from other places.
"Little sister, I heard that you guys here, uh, there's that barbecue, it's very distinctive."
A man said, a flickering between his words.
"What barbecue?"
Jiang Rongfang was stunned, and then reacted.
"Oh, did you say roast pig whips, or roast eyeballs, yes, you either?"
She also uses relatively standard Mandarin, asking.
Pig whips and pig eyeballs are one of the characteristics of her family's barbecue, in fact, in Guixi Province, many barbecue restaurants have these, but for outsiders, these two things are really a bit too exciting.
"Give us two skewers each."
There are four of them, but as long as there are two strings, Jiang Rongfang is not surprised, and if she is pregnant with fresh food, she probably has to be prepared that she can't eat these "dark foods".
After a while, she brought the roast pig whip and the roasted eyeballs, which were wrapped around the bamboo skewers like a slender earthworm, round and round, and the eyeballs were burnt yellow, staring at the four of them.
"Declare in advance, I'm just a director of photography, and I will never eat these two things."
The only girl of the four was the first to speak.
"I've only heard of something very exciting here, but I didn't expect it to be so hot that I can't eat it."
The other boy shook his head.
"You guys, you don't have any professionalism at all, what's wrong with eating pig whips, I'll come."
The eldest man picked up a string of editors-in-chief and put it in his mouth, and it took him a lot of effort to conquer the pig's whip, which had become extremely chewy by the roasting, and for a moment the indescribable taste passed through this peculiar taste to the tip of his tongue, until he had finished chewing and swallowed it in his mouth, and only after a long time did he sigh with emotion.
"Delicious!"
"Really, you're afraid you didn't lie to us."
"Refuse!"
Ignoring the doubts of others, he picked up his eyeball again and looked at it for a moment before taking a bite.
The burnt eyeball meat is fat but not greasy, with chili pepper and cumin, it makes people addicted, the teeth touch the eyeball, after a moment's rebound, the whole eyeball explodes in the mouth, and the flavorful juice infiltrates the mouth, this huge contrast in the taste catches people off guard, and it is wrapped in delicious flavor in an instant.
"This one is delicious, too!"
"I don't believe it, believe it or not!"
The girls were still shaking their heads in refusal, but the other three boys couldn't stand it anymore and divided the pigwhips and eyeballs.
"It's really delicious!" "I didn't expect it to taste like this, it's very good!"
Watching them fall one after another, the girls were also a little curious.
"Huh? If you want to eat, I won't share you. ”
The companion noticed the girl's curiosity, and hurriedly protected the barbecue in his hand, and didn't bother his body.
"Okay, I'm not going to rob you."
The girl hesitated for a while, and finally stopped Jiang Rongfang, who was busy cleaning up on the side.
"Little sister, I also want a string of eyeballs and, uh, pigs, pigs."
"Okay."
Although Jiang Rongfang still felt that these people were very strange, she still smiled when she heard them praise their barbecue.
