Chapter 120: A Chance Encounter in the Market
"Now? It's getting dark outside, and it's not good for you to go out alone. Mao Junyi was not at ease and wanted to stop it, "Why don't you go get it tomorrow morning." ”
"No, buy something to eat, I'm afraid of it tomorrow, so let Yaoyao go with me, and we'll come back after taking the things." Qin Wanting casually pulled a pretense, and sure enough, Mao Junyi was fooled.
"Okay, then you go quickly, get your things and come back."
Qin Wanting couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and she pulled Ruan Siyao and ran out.
Out of the house, although it was not completely dark, the street lights outside were already on, and looking down from the mountainside, the street market below the mountain was crowded, which was really lively.
"Anyway, we're all looking for a reason to sneak out, so let's go down there and play for a while and come back." Qin Wanting said excitedly.
"Huh? Don't you really have a courier to take? ”
"No, where did I get the courier, just to come out and hide from the reason to find it. So in order not to show the stuffing, let's go buy some food and come back, and then it will be easy to make a difference. ”
"Okay, I didn't eat too much just now, let's go down and have some snacks." Ruan Siyao touched his stomach.
Qin Wanting nodded: "Actually, I haven't eaten enough, if it weren't for Wang Wenwen, I would definitely have to eat two bowls of rice." It's a pity that I ate so many of the dishes that my grandfather cooked. ”
The two of them walked down the hill and entered the market, where the aroma of all kinds of food came to their faces.
As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of food and handicraft shops, most of which are tourists, except for some locals. In order to cater to the atmosphere of the ancient town, many tourists wear Hanfu. Most of them are girls.
"Aren't you tired of shopping in these clothes at night?" Qin Wanting saw a girl wearing a huge hair crown on her head, and couldn't help but smack her lips.
"What's so tiring, I think it's pretty good, but it's a little inconvenient to move." Ruan Siyao said perfunctorily, "Let's leave others alone, the fried potatoes in front are really fragrant!" ”
"I'm going to eat it, it's still early anyway, and I'll have it digested when I go back."
When you go to the fried potato shop, the aroma of the shop is almost overflowing. The golden potatoes are evenly sprinkled with chili powder, cumin and other condiments, and topped with a layer of white sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions.
"Boss, come for two. One medium spicy, one heavy spicy. Ruan Siyao scanned the code to pay.
The boss acted very neatly, fished out the corresponding amount of potatoes from the oil pot in three or two times, added various condiments in an orderly manner, and finally sprinkled a layer of white sesame seeds. "Take it and eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, boss." Ruan Siyao took the potato, handed the heavy and spicy one to Qin Wanting, inserted a piece of Qin Wanting's hand with the wooden skewer in his hand, and ate it, "Well, it's too spicy, sure enough, I still can't do enough." After saying that, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, the spicy coming out of her throat was really choking, and she could only relieve the spiciness in her mouth by constantly inhaling.
"Let's go buy plum juice to relieve the spiciness." Qin Wanting ate deliciously, and pointed in the direction of fewer people, "Just go to the store over there, the store over there is more mellow, I don't want the few shops here, they are all watery, and there is no taste of serious plums." ”
"Hey, it's so spicy, I can't stand it." Ruan Siyao stuck out his tongue and fanned his hand against his tongue.
"Poof, the way you inhale like this, you really look like a winter melon!" Qin Wanting smiled and leaned back.
Ruan Siyao was angry: "Are you talking about human words?" You're gloating! ”
"It's okay, it's coming soon. Buy you a glass of ice-cold, and you can be sure that it won't be spicy when you drink it. ”
"Then you go faster, my mouth is going to catch fire." Ruan Siyao urged.
"Okay, let's go, there's no two steps." Qin Wanting held back a smile and pulled Ruan Siyao forward.
The two of them walked in a hurry, not noticing Jian Yunxi and Lin Beiyu, who were also shopping not far away.
Jian Yunxi's family also went to her grandmother's house for the New Year this year, and coincidentally, Jian Yunxi's grandmother's house is also in Nanjiang Town, and it is quite close to Ruan Siyao's grandmother's house.
Jian Yunxi's family and Lin Beiyu only returned to Nanjiang Town together yesterday, and after dinner today, Jian Yunxi and Lin Beiyu went out for a stroll, and took a walk after dinner.
Lin Beiyu hasn't come back for three or four years, and he hasn't come back for the New Year since he quarreled with his father once. Nanjiang Town has developed rapidly in recent years, and he doesn't know as much about Nanjiang Town as Jian Yunxi as he grew up in Nanjiang Town.
Anyway, if he is idle, he will be idle, so he simply asked Jian Yunxi to take him out for a spin.
When he got to the street, Lin Beiyu sighed as if he had never seen it. "Not to mention, we haven't been back for two years, and there have been such big changes in our town. If it weren't for the fact that my home was still here, I would have thought it was somewhere else. ”
"Whoever told you not to come back, if it takes another two years, you probably won't be able to find a home." Jian Yunxi mocked mercilessly.
"It's not like that, if it weren't for my dad's stinky temper, I wouldn't have been living abroad for so many years."
"If you weren't too stubborn and refused to give in to your uncle, you really wouldn't need to be outcast."
"Alas, who knew that my dad was just talking about it, didn't I take it seriously, so he just held his breath and stayed outside. If I had known that my dad was such a grumpy, I would have gone home a long time ago. Lin Beiyu kept stretching out his head to look at the shops as he spoke, "Tsk, I have to say, Nanjiang is really different now." ”
Jian Yunxi was impressed by Lin Beiyu's appearance of never seeing the world, and wrinkled his eyebrows helplessly, "Brother, can you calm down a little, don't act like you've never been here." ”
"Isn't it strange that the place where I used to live has changed so much now, I can't be surprised." Lin Beiyu was excited, "I don't know if the barbecue restaurant is still there, I want to try it." ”
"Which one?"
"It's the one we've been to together before, the one with a particularly fragrant chili pepper, and I'm drooling just thinking about it."
Jian Yunxi tried hard to recall, "That shop, it's here, but the store now sells snacks and barbecue, but it doesn't do it every day, once every three or five days, and sometimes it doesn't even do it once a month." ”
"Huh?" Lin Beiyu wailed, "Why is the boss like this, isn't this a slack in his career." ”
"It's not that I'm slacking off, it's just that the focus of the store has been shifted, I think the snacks are also very good, and now there are many tourists, if you diverge the focus, you will definitely be able to make more money."
"No, let's go take a look, maybe we'll sell the barbecue today." Lin Beiyu didn't give up, pulled Jian Yunxi's sleeve and was about to move forward.
"Don't pull me, it's okay to walk well." Jian Yunxi pushed aside Lin Beiyu and took his hand.
"Oh, brother, I'll just pull you, why are you two brothers still so angry?"
"Please look at the eyes of the girls next to you, don't you be like a girl, don't you think it's really strange for two boys to pull and pull?"
Lin Beiyu turned around, and there were indeed a few girls pointing at them, and from time to time they showed an incomprehensible smile. "What are they laughing at, what is stuck on my face?"
"As long as you walk honestly, no one will stare at us."
"Good girl, why do you smile obscenely?" Lin Beiyu said puzzled.
"Have you really stayed in the city for the past two years? How do I feel that you are in the mountains, why are you so backward. ”
"Why am I lagging behind, I have been concentrating on my craft for the past two years, and I am not disturbed by the disturbances of the outside world."
Jian Yunxi didn't want to deal with him anymore, so he quickened his pace and buried his head in the barbecue restaurant. Lin Beiyu trotted to follow, "Why are you in such a hurry, wait for me a little." ”
When I entered the barbecue restaurant, there was really no shadow of barbecue in the store, and all the fried things were sold, and Lin Beiyu was a little disappointed. "Boss, when do you sell barbecue?"
The boss was a middle-aged man with a round figure, and replied with a smile: "Barbecue, I just sold it last night." ”
"Then you're not going to sell it tonight?"
"It's not today, I don't buy materials today, I can't sell it."
"What about tomorrow, will it be sold tomorrow?" Lin Beiyu looked at the boss pitifully, eager to get an affirmative answer from the boss.
"Eh, it's really hard to say, it depends on whether I can enter the materials tomorrow, and I'm not good at talking nonsense, right?"
Lin Beiyu was puzzled: "Isn't the barbecue material easy to enter?" ”
"It's not that it's just that the sauce I make is a bit complicated and some of the ingredients in it are not very easy to buy. The other things in our house are also quite delicious, you can try them. The boss smiled.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
"Recommended, well, let me think about it, in fact, from my personal point of view, our things are quite delicious." Although the boss looks honest, he is really handy when it comes to boasting.
Jian Yunxi was silent, took the large paper cup on the side, and picked it up himself. Lin Beiyu touched his stomach, alas, if you can't buy a barbecue, you can't come for nothing, Malatang is also very good.
Picking and choosing, although there are not many, but I still picked a large cup full of twenty skewers. After paying the money and leaving the store, Lin Beiyu took a string of lotus root slices and stuffed them into his mouth, unexpectedly, the taste was better than expected. "Well, this hot sauce is delicious!"
Jian Yunxi ate two skewers, "It's delicious, it's delicious, but I feel like I've added a little too much hot sauce." ”
"It's okay to have a little more or a little less, it's just delicious." Lin Beiyu ate happily, "Should we buy some more?" If it's delicious, eat more. ”
"Have you finished eating? The store is open here anyway, and it won't run away, so you can come whenever you want. Anyway, you're going to be here for a while, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Hey, it's still delicious at home, and you can't eat such authentic chili peppers outside." Lin Beiyu sighed contentedly.
Jian Yunxi cleared his throat, "The food is a little salty, I'll go over and buy a glass of lemonade first, and you wait here for me to come back." ”
"Wait, let's go over together, I want to have a drink too."
The two of them walked forward together, Lin Beiyu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Ruan Siyao and Qin Wanting walking in front, but he only saw the back, "Huh? ”
"What's wrong?"
"Look at the person in front of you, don't you feel a little familiar." Lin Beiyu pointed to the two girls he saw not far in front of him and said.
Jian Yunxi looked at it intently, and it was indeed a little familiar. It looks a bit like Ruan Siyao, but it shouldn't be possible, after all, this is not in T City, how could you see her here.
"I think it's a bit like Haruka, you say." Lin Beiyu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Before Jian Yunxi could answer, he stomped his foot again, "By the way, I remember that Sister Zhen said that her mother's family is from S Province, it won't be such a coincidence, it just happens to be our Nanjiang." ”
Ruan Siyao, who happened to be walking in front, turned sideways, and Jian Yunxi could see it clearly, and the side face was clearly Ruan Siyao.
