Chapter 28: Canglang Pavilion

After completing all the formalities for admission, it is time for two weeks of military training.

In September, the north may have shown the coolness of early autumn, but the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is still childlike, cloudy and sunny, with the occasional half-dead autumn rain, when the whole body is covered with the sliminess of the tide. Although the yellow plum sky has long passed, the air is still humid, and it will be even more sultry after a few rains.

From the opening of the school to the military training. The six people in the 302 dormitory, the most they talk about must be girls, these days, the eyes of the six people are almost narrowed into a slit, and they are extremely focused on aiming, wanting to see which girl is the best looking in their session.

The military training of freshmen is uniformly military green camouflage, and the instructor does not allow them to show their long hair, so the girls will tie up their hair and hide it in their hats.

During military training, the half-dead sun would occasionally peek out from behind the low, thick clouds in Shanghai, and the girls would all bow their heads, or lower the brim of their hats to block the sun.

But Rao is like this, basically a few days later, the girls who are in the freshman military training are no different from the boys.

In fact, in the days of military training, boys like Chen Zizhao must not be idle, no matter how tired he is from being trained by the instructor, he can always find one or two girls of the same class who seem to have exquisite facial features in the phalanx.

Speaking of which, Qi Ming has also been trying to find a girl's shadow from the queue phalanx of freshman military training.

However, more than 1,000 freshmen entered the school, and there were several military training phalanxes in Wuyang and Wuyang on the playground, and Qi Ming spent two weeks, but he was not in the crowd to find the girl he was looking for.

Shouldn't it, according to the rebirth routine, shouldn't it be recognizable at a glance in the crowd?

Could it be that the butterfly effect, I may not be able to meet her in this life?

Or in this life, the school flower of the School of Management of the University of Engineering, she did not make a wrong choice at the fork in the road of life, the college entrance examination played normally, and she entered the ideal university as she wished?

Thinking of the girl who took four years in his previous life to amaze the School of Management, oh no, it was the girl who was the whole engineering university, and it was likely that he would not have the opportunity to meet him in this life, Qi Ming couldn't help but feel empty and sour in his heart.

With the loss in his heart, Qi Ming ended his two-week military training in a daze.

On the third day after the end of the military training, the landline in the 302 dormitory rang loudly.

Everyone is also used to it, these days, Yang Chuang's parents have been calling the dormitory three times a day, and they can hear the concern of Qiangui's accent and the cold and asking for warmth through the microphone, for fear that their young master will not have enough to eat at school and be wronged.

So as soon as the bell rang, everyone tacitly asked Yang Chuang to pick it up, because eighty percent of the calls to the dormitory were looking for him.

As a result, when Yang Chuang answered the phone, he was stunned: "Oh, okay, okay, I'll help you call Qi Ming to listen to the phone." ”

"Looking for me?" Qi Ming put down the book "Chrysanthemum and Knife" in his hand, and at the same time took off the earphone cable, and the music in the CD Walkman stopped abruptly.

"That's right, Brother Qi, I'm looking for you." Yang Chuang held the phone in mid-air.

Qi Ming jumped off the bed, and there were not many people who could think of looking for him. Mom just called the day before yesterday, so only Liu Xuqiang is left.

"Hello?"

"How's college life going?" A little unexpectedly, it turned out to be Fang Wenjin's voice on the phone.

"It's okay, what about you." Qi Ming said, he could feel that when Fang Wenjin's voice vaguely spread out of the phone, the eyes of the entire dormitory fell on him.

One by one, his ears were pricked up, and Chen Zizhao even took the opportunity to walk to Qi Ming's side, pretending to pick up the thermos pot on the table to catch water, and got closer to hear it more clearly.

"In the evening, Zhao Zeming proposed to get together, are you free, call Liu Xuqiang together, and we will find a place to sit."

"I'm fine, it's just the end of military training, and there's a lot of time." Qi Ming said.

"Then at half past five, we'll see you at the Huangpi South Road subway station. You write down my phone number. Fang Wenjin mentioned his mobile phone number on the phone, and Chen Zizhao, who was next to Xu Shi, heard a little bit of Fang Wenjin's words, so he immediately came up, and his face was almost touching the root of Qi Ming's ears.

When Qi Ming wrote down the phone, Chen Zizhao immediately knocked on the side and asked, "What time did you say 13 just now?" Didn't hear too clearly. The voice is really good, but it doesn't sound like the beautiful woman in Tongji. ”

"High school classmates, let's get together at night." Qi Ming smiled.

"I see, our dormitory is Qi Ming's most popular girl. First the senior sister from Tongji before, and now there is a high school classmate. Zhan Yu said with a smile.

mentioned what happened in Tongji that night, Chen Zizhao was not happy, he paid for the meal for no reason, and almost spent half a month's living expenses, and finally wanted to lose face because he was greedy for a cup.

At that moment, he said disapprerovitically: "Don't mention Tongji, except for Qi Ming's sister Yang Mo, the other two girls are energetic, I don't know where the superiority comes from." ”

Chen Zizhao's words were quite restrained, if Qi Ming was not present, maybe he would have to bring Yang Mo in.

"I'm going to Luwan, do you have anything I need to bring back?" At this time, Qi Ming had already changed into a freshly washed dress, and the smell of laundry detergent was fragrant.

Zhan Yu leaned closer and said: "There is nothing to bring, but you are dating, it is definitely not appropriate for a few brothers to mix, just count on you to come back, and share with us your dating feelings, it is best to be alone after the date, which can be described in detail." ”

Qi Ming smiled: "I think it's better to say goodbye, young and strong." If you really let you watch it, you can't hold it anymore at night and the bed will collapse. Speaking of Dayu, you have only been reporting for a few days, and every night after we have slept, you will start to shake endlessly, your body can eat, and the bed can not bear it. ”

These words pierced Zhan Yu's lung tubes, making the 302 hand rush emperor choke a stomach injury.

After coming out of the project, the bus shook for more than half a year before taking the first line. When he arrived at Huangpi South Road, Qi Ming was late.

I haven't seen him for half a month, and after the military training, Liu Xuqiang has lost a lot of weight, and he is darker, and he is squatting on the side of the road smoking a cigarette.

Fang Wenjin was wearing a white floral dress, under the pink calves, wearing a pair of blue sneakers, among the crowds coming and going at the subway entrance, she didn't seem to belong to this lively and bustling general, quiet and tranquil, and the atmosphere of dust was fully revealed.

Zhao Zeming was the first to see Qi Ming, he still looked like he was forced to do something, and complained without greeting: "You are the latest to come back and come out, you must have been grinding in the dormitory for a long time before going out." We are all college students now, and we have a stronger sense of time. ”

"Whoever is like you who talks about me as a college student all day long, I can't wait to see everyone say that I am a college student." Liu Xuqiang said on the side, stepping on the cigarette in his hand.

"Our school is in Yangpu, a bit far from here." Qi Ming chuckled and said, "Count me late, I'll treat you to dinner, what do you want to eat?" ”

In fact, it doesn't matter what you eat, the graduates of Zhongzhou No. 7 Middle School are the only four of them who came to Shanghai. In the end, it's nothing more than just going to college, and everyone gets together to talk about the new life in college.

The four of them were originally planning to find a place to have a casual meal, mainly to chat.

But just in time for the meal, Liu Xuqiang was the first to eat casually in the school cafeteria at noon, and at this time, the five internal organs in his stomach and the temple were all in turmoil.

So the four of them went south along Madang Road, and quickly walked to Taiping Lake, and they didn't see a few prosperous high-rise buildings in the future.

If you want to say that the Huangpi South Road in that scene, there are all snacks and snacks along the way, and there is a sense of stopping and seeing. Although it is not as tall as in later generations, the smell of fireworks is very strong, and the old Shikumen buildings can be seen everywhere in the alleys of the market, and the sound of babbling and selling is endless.

Sweet soup, rice, raw pan-fried, pot stickers, small wontons, butterfly crisp, any place to eat is mouth-watering.

In this era when high-rise buildings have not yet risen from the ground, people are not only looking forward to the coming year 2000, but they are also hesitating in 1999, when the old feelings are strong.

Just when Zhao Zeming and Liu Xuqiang were arguing about what to eat at night, Qi Ming already had an idea in his heart.

The four of them slowed down when they walked to Tamsui Road, because they ate more and became more lively.

"It's better to be in a big city." Liu Xuqiang sighed, but he almost forgot that he was hungry.

Fang Wenjin was already a little tired from this journey, and hummed at the end: "How long do we have to walk." ”

"I still have a bag of biscuits in my bag," Zhao Zeming immediately began to rummage.

Qi Ming walked in front, pointed not far away and said, "No need, just in front, there is a noodle restaurant, I heard that it is not bad, I happened to meet you today, so let's go and try it together." ”

There is a Ho Kee noodle restaurant on Tamsui Road, the main dish is Su's topping noodles, where yellow croaker noodles and scallion oil noodles are a must, and the most unique is fried pork cutlet.

The front door is very small, and it can even be said to be a very inconspicuous kind in the place where there are many restaurants on Tamsui Road. The first thing you can see is a few big words: Master He Noodle Restaurant.

Isn't that an inconspicuous name?

But after walking in, everyone was stunned except for Qi Ming.

Xu happened to be at the time of this meal, and the small noodle restaurant inside was already full, and there was still a queue at the door, which was the diners planning to take out and pack.

There are also a few diners, who look like gourmets who often come here, and they are reluctant to wait, let alone take them back, so that the noodles are soaked in the soup and affect the taste.

He put the noodles on the stool and simply squatted on the side of the road, sucking up sweat, but when the delicious food was eaten, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of satisfaction.

"Is this noodle really so delicious?" Liu Xuqiang was skeptical.

"It's too exaggerated, squatting on the side of the road to eat?"

Fang Wenjin continued to chirp: "How long will it take for so many people to wait." ”

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Qi Ming waited for a table in the noodle restaurant, and still made do with others to set up a table.

After waiting for a few more minutes, four bowls of yellow croaker noodles and four pieces of pork cutlet were served together.

Learn the order of eating noodles in Qi Ming, first put a few pieces of yellow croaker fillets after the oil explosion into your mouth, feel the yellow croaker fillets covered on the noodles, and seal a trace of fresh fragrance and sweetness between your lips and teeth after the hot oil is burst.

Then while the fresh fragrance in his mouth was about to dissipate, he clicked the corner of the mouth that had just come out of the pot to bite the fried pork chop, and took a bite of the clear but not faint broth of Su's noodles, which was warm and sweet and went straight down the throat into the abdomen in an instant, and instantly made the night of late summer and early autumn extremely beautiful.

Once the delicacies are in the mouth, the satisfaction is no longer food and clothing.

Even though the stomach was hungry all the way, when this bite of noodles was eaten in the mouth, it drove the secretion of dopamine in the body, which made the happy emotions come to the heart, and made the four of them look at each other and smile unconsciously.

"Qi Ming, how did you know about this noodle restaurant?" Fang Wenjin looked around, there were young beauties in the noodle shop, there were also students in blue and white school uniforms, and middle-aged men in shirts and ties, but most of them spoke Wu Nong dialect without exception, obviously not local gluttony, and it was difficult to find this noodle restaurant hidden in the depths of the streets.

"There was a local student in Shanghai in our dormitory, and when he heard that I was coming to Huangpi South Road, he told me that there was such a noodle restaurant. Seeing that you are so satisfied, I think it's really worth the trip. ”

Of course, Qi Ming didn't tell the truth, how could there be local students in the 302 dormitory.

The yellow croaker noodles and fried pork cutlets in this Master He noodle restaurant are a must, and the boss was the master of the state-owned Canglang Pavilion in his early years. After working for three years, Canglang Pavilion was closed, so I went to Jiangxia Dim Sum Center to work for another three years, but I still boiled people until they closed down.

After three years, three years later, and then three years, in the ninth year, Lao He started his own business and ran this noodle restaurant.

The first was on Chengdu Road, using someone else's prefix signboard, and then moved several times, and finally moved from Tamsui Road to Huangpi South Road. But as early as the time when Tamsui Road was in business, Lao He's noodle restaurant was already famous, and it was common for diners to squat on the side of the road with a stool and eat a bowl of noodles.

In later generations, it is on Huangpi South Road, the door is still not big, the store is not big, and the name is changed to the big time noodle restaurant, listen to this name, what is the time-honored brand. Serving in Huangpi Road for more than 20 years is the most inconspicuous, but it is also the most hidden street delicacy.

Smacking the taste in his mouth, Qi Ming lit a cigarette, sat in the small noodle restaurant, and squinted at Fang Wenjin who was sitting next to him.

She tried her best to be as reserved as possible to send noodles to her mouth with a small chopstick, but the fragrance of this noodle was so tempting, she couldn't help but want to throw away the ladylike personality cultivated by strict family education for more than ten years, and happily put the noodle soup in her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Qi Ming couldn't help but feel that her arrogant character was too interesting.

But when he thought of Fang Wenjin's life trajectory after the age of twenty in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
