Chapter 35: Friends from Far Away
When the uncle packed up his things, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Because she wanted to go to the night market to eat delicious food, Xia Ke stubbornly refused her uncle's kindness to make her scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It seems that he didn't expect Xia Ke to be so decisive, or he was worried that Xia Ke would be hungry, so the uncle gave Xia Ke a small biscuit after being refused.
Xia Ke's exercise today is very high, and since she finished talking to her uncle, she has been simulating a battle in the training room. Yuanmen has a special training system, and after this system has been transformed by the uncle, the intensity of training has become higher. Xia Ke is just the first stage, and the whole person is out of breath.
The biscuits tasted good, and Xia Ke didn't feel hungry during training, and when she was finished lying on the floor, she heard her stomach growling. In the training room of room 5, there was a table with small biscuits given by the uncle and the salt water that the uncle prepared for her.
After exercising, it is necessary to replenish salt and water in time, Xia Ke actually does not like to drink salt water. She didn't like it before, the salt water tasted weird, like soup, but the color was transparent.
But she was thirsty, thirsty, tired and hungry just after exercising, so she propped herself up and walked to the edge of the table and gently took a sip of salt water. found that the salt water was not as hot as she imagined, and the uncle put sea salt, and there was a faint taste of the sea in the cup. Xia Ke likes the smell of the sea, and he doesn't even hate the glass of salt water in his hand.
The biscuits are brown in color, look like whole wheat, and are very hard to bite into. Xia Ke finally took a small bite, and when he chewed in his mouth, a bitter taste permeated his lips and teeth. I hurriedly drank a sip of salt water before swallowing the biscuit in my mouth.
When he looked at the biscuit again, Xia Ke had no previous expectations. She thought that her uncle was so good at cooking, and the small biscuits he made must be delicious, but who knew that this biscuit was actually whole wheat......
Whole wheat biscuits and bread are all holy products for weight loss and fitness. It has less fat and is anti-hunger, and the only drawback is that it is not delicious.
It's not delicious, which is enough for Xia Ke, a foodie, to give up this little cookie. Looking at the biscuits that he had nibbled on, and then at his rumbling stomach, Xia Ke took another sip of salt water. If you don't eat cookies, they will be wasted.
Fortunately, there were only three small biscuits on the plate, and Xia Ke felt that she could still eat it if she endured it.
She did eat it all, but now she was sitting in the car, and she only felt that the whole mouth smelled of graham crackers, and the roots of her teeth still hurt, the kind that hurt.
The uncle sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and occasionally glanced at Xia Ke. Xia Ke supported his arms, leaned against the car door, covered his teeth with his palms, and his expression was very depressed. It's very different from the little girl who knew she was going to go to the night market and then showed extreme excitement.
"What's wrong? Don't you really want to go to the night market? Now that you're leaving, why are you upset? ”
Xia Ke glared at the uncle weakly, are you embarrassed to say, if it weren't for your three cookies, would I be so 'unhappy'?
"I have a toothache."
"Toothache?" The uncle looked at Xia Ke in surprise, as if he had heard a big joke. When the little girl ate at noon, her teeth were very good, but now after an afternoon, she said that she had a toothache, could it be that she knocked her teeth during training? "Why do you have a toothache all of a sudden?"
Hearing the uncle ask himself in such a concerned tone, Xia Ke has a kind of biscuit that is not given to her by the uncle.
"I ate the cookies you gave, that's why I have a toothache." Xia Ke's tone was sullen, she couldn't blame the uncle, people were also well-intentioned, afraid that she would be hungry. But the inexplicable toothache is still very uncomfortable......
The uncle's hand holding the steering wheel stiffened for a while, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Ke, "You bit it with your teeth?" ”
Xia Ke nodded, "Otherwise?" "Biscuits don't need to be bitten with teeth, can they be swallowed raw?
"Hahaha," the uncle reached over with one hand and patted Xia Ke's shoulder, "Then you're right to have a toothache." ”
"......" Xia Ke's mouth opened slightly, not knowing how to answer. Suddenly so angry is there no one! Looking at the uncle's gloating appearance, Xia Ke really wasted a lot of effort to restrain herself from exploding.
After the uncle finished laughing, he spoke leisurely, "Didn't I give you a glass of salt water?" The one that was given to you was for you to soak in biscuits to eat, who knew that the little girl would just gnaw so hard and gnaw on those three biscuits. ”
Xia Ke exploded in an instant when she heard this, and her eyes glared at her uncle fiercely. She has a dirty word, I don't know whether to say it or not!
Snorted at the uncle, Xia Ke turned her head and stopped talking to the uncle, she wanted to calm down the sadness in her heart.
The uncle directly ignored Xia Ke's emotions, and wanted to continue to talk about the graham crackers, but was blocked by Xia Ke's words, "Your old man should drive well." ”
The uncle who was called the old man said that he was very helpless, and the little girl was angry, as if it was not very coaxing. What's more, the little girl herself was unhappy, so she had to pull him along to be unhappy.
However, thinking that the little girl's teeth still hurt, the uncle decided that as an elder, he would have a lot of adults who didn't care about juniors.
"What do you want for dinner?"
Speaking of dinner, Xia Ke's eyes lit up, but before the uncle could see it, she dimmed again.
Xia Ke turned his head little by little, and looked at the uncle with resentful eyes, "I have a toothache ......"
The uncle who said these three words had goosebumps, and he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to answer what the little girl said.
"I have a toothache, and I can't eat anything," the uncle searched his mind for the more common snacks in the night market, and then found with a little sadness that he seemed to have not been to the night market for a long time, so that he couldn't remember what food to comfort the little girl with now.
After a long time, the uncle was depressed, and suddenly the little girl spoke, with a faint excitement in her tone.
"Can I eat stinky tofu?"
May I? The uncle wanted to say no, he didn't like the smell of stinky tofu. But he still nodded with a clear conscience, and after seeing the little girl's eyes slowly shine, the uncle added, "You can eat whatever you want." After saying that, he regretted it, and before he had time to regret it, Xia Ke followed.
"Then you have to eat boneless chicken feet."
Chicken feet are chicken feet, boneless, and there are quite a lot of patterns...... The uncle silently disliked the food that the little girl said, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
"You often go to the night market?"
"Not often, in fact, I rarely go out to play, usually in school." Xia Ke was still thinking about what to eat in his mind, and he didn't notice the uncle's slightly surprised eyes.
"What if the night market doesn't have the stuff you said?"
Xia Ke raised her eyebrows, and she immediately jumped out of the snack circle, looking at the uncle with wary eyes.
"Uncle, you don't like stinky tofu, so you deliberately took me to a bleak night market, right?" Xia Ke's gaze was like looking at an extremely sinister villain, and the uncle was uncomfortable with this kind of gaze, and hurriedly defended himself.
"How is it possible, what we are going to is definitely the most prosperous night market in Qilu City, but I'm not worried. You said you wouldn't be disappointed if you didn't? ”
It sounded a little reasonable, Xia Ke retracted his gaze and waved his hand casually, "That's okay, boneless chicken feet may be rare, but stinky tofu will definitely have it." There are also iron plate squid, grilled lamb skewers, sour plum soup, octopus balls, roasted corn, pig's trotters, ......" Xia Ke broke his fingers, his mouth was like singing, and he reported the names of various snacks one after another.
The uncle on the side was already impressed by the names she reported, stared with his mouth open, and did not answer.
Suddenly, Xia Ke's mouth stopped for a while, and he looked at the uncle suspiciously, "Uncle, you say, will there be roast pig brains in the night market?" ”
Uncle is completely petrified, what the hell is roasting pig brains? This kind of food feels like it's anti-human when you hear it, why would you be interested in a little girl! Don't you think it's too bloody?
Turning his head, the uncle looked at Xia Ke with a loveless look, he already had a premonition that he would go through something later. Now the little girl is really not what he could have imagined.
"Probably, probably, probably...... There will be. After the uncle finished speaking, he stopped talking to the uncle Xia Ke. He needed to calm down, because in a moment he would see a little girl who didn't look like a lady.
If no one picks him up, Xia Ke doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. She's got roasted pig brains all over now!
Actually, she hasn't eaten roast pig brains before, and every time she goes out with Lori, Lori eats this. Lori will also let her eat with her, but she refuses to be a summer guest. At that time, she was still very resistant to pig brains, not to mention how it tasted, just the word pig brains was enough for her to stand it.
But now she really wants to be able to taste the taste of pig brains, she used to be timid, so she has never eaten the pig brains of that world. Every time Lori eats pig brains, she will say that she is very disgusted. If she knew that one day she would leave that world, she would definitely eat a pig's brain with Lori.
Now Xia Ke wants to know if Lori will also like to eat the pig brain in this world......
The flourishing starlight shines on Qilu City at night, and each star blooms its brightest light in the night sky.
The light outside the car window was dazzling, Xia Ke looked at the bright street lamps, and the scenery in front of him gradually blurred. She simply leaned on the window, as if something was leaking out of her eyes.
Xia Ke's forehead was against the car window, Lori, are you okay in that world?
