The foot that was stepped on by Jiang Yimeng became more and more swollen, and even the foot and neck began to be red and swollen.

"What do you want to eat?" A waiter walked over with a menu and a smile.

"Do you have authentic Hunan cuisine here?" Jiang Yimeng turned his head and asked the waiter.

"What? Hunan? This one doesn't! But I have a chef here from Hengyang, Hunan, so why don't I ask him? "When the waiter heard that we were going to order Hunan food, he was a little curious.

"Call him! I asked him in person if he was better. Jiang Yimeng asked the waiter to bring the chef from Hengyang, Hunan, and the waiter knew the strength of the Jiang family, so he didn't dare to say anything. I only nodded, and honestly went to the kitchen to call the Hunan chef over.

"Lao Wang, I remember that you are from Hengyang, right? This chef is in the same place as you, and his craftsmanship should be to your taste! Jiang Yimeng said with a smile.

"Ugh! In fact, you can eat anything at will, and you don't have to eat Hunan food! "I just found out that Jiang Yimeng went to order Hunan food specifically for me.

"Huh! Think of it as an apology! I'm stupid and don't please people. So please have a hometown meal! Jiang Yimeng poured me a cup of tea, blushing and not daring to look at me.

"What about your eating habits? Hunan cuisine is so spicy, aren't you afraid? I reminded her with a smile.

"It's okay! I like spicy food too! Actually, I'm also from Hunan! I just grew up in Tainan. Jiang Yimeng looked at the crowd coming and going outside the window and smiled.

I suddenly remembered that Old Man Xiao said before that the ancestral home of the head of the Jiang family is Changsha, Hunan, so the spicy taste of Hunan cuisine should still be acceptable.

"Mengmeng, I heard that your family moved from Changsha, right?" I couldn't bear to see Jiang Yimeng annoyed and regretted stepping on me, so I deliberately found some topics to talk to her.

"Yes! My ancestors are authentic Changsha people, and I probably have inherited the habit of eating spicy food, so I sometimes go out of my way to order some Hunan food! Jiang Yimeng also opened the conversation.

"You two want to eat Hunan food, don't you?" A fat man in a chef's uniform walked up to us with a smile on his face.

"Yes! I've been away from Hunan for a long time, and I miss the spicy taste of Hunan cuisine. I smiled at him.

"Our store doesn't cook Hunan cuisine, but since the two of you want to eat it, then I'll go and prepare it! Do you want to be spicy? The fat chef looked at me with a smile.

"Of course! Hunan people! No spicy or happy. You can't eat without chili peppers, so you can make as much spicy as you can! Jiang Yimeng said first.

"Wow! It turned out to be Miss Jiang! You can come here to eat, and it really makes this place shine! The fat chef saw that the woman in front of him was the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and hurriedly flattered her.

After all, the Jiang family still has a great reputation in this territory, not because of how rich the Jiang family is, but because the Jiang family belongs to the top family in the whole of Tainan, and it is also the kind that eats both black and white.

The fat chef hurriedly nodded and said respectfully to Jiang Yimeng: "What Hunan food does the eldest lady want to eat!" I'll do it right away. ”

"Lao Wang, you are from Hengyang, say what you want to eat!" Jiang Yimeng looked at me.

"This boss! Are you also from Hengyang? The fat chef asked me with a smile.

"Uh-huh! I'm a real Hengyang person, I heard that you are also from Hengyang? Where are you from Hengyang? "I asked the fat chef in Hengyang dialect.

"Oh! I'm from Zhajiang, listen to your accent, you should be from Hongshi, right? "The fat chef also answered me in authentic Hengyang dialect.

"Haha! We're real folks! The town next door! Come on, fellow, let's smoke first! I smiled and handed the fat chef a white sand cigarette.

"Yay! I thought that after so many years in Tainan, I can still get to the local white sand smoke in Hunan! Ha ha! The fat chef smiled and took the cigarette I handed over.

"Boss, are you just the betel nut? However, this is produced in Tainan, and the taste is as good as Hunan betel nut. The fat chef took out a pack of sweat-soaked betel nuts from his coat pocket and handed it to me.

"Thank you! Fellow, it's about to be just right, but it's still not just betel nut. "I waved my hand, not because I disliked the sweat-soaked betel nut in the fat chef's hand, but because the local betel nut in Tainan and the betel nut in Hunan are completely two flavors, and the taste is different, so I am not used to eating it.

"Oh! Sorry ha! You see, I know how to talk to you and forget to help you cook. Fellow, you wait, I'll go and cook real Hengyang dishes right away. The fat chef patted his bare head and smiled, then turned and trotted towards the kitchen.

"Lao Wang, what did you say? Why can't I understand a word? Jiang Yimeng heard me and the fat chef communicating in Hengyang dialect, and hurriedly asked.

"Oh! That was Hengyang dialect just now, and I don't blame you if you don't understand it. I didn't expect to meet the townspeople in the next town here! Ha ha! It seems that I have a good mouth today, and I can eat the most authentic Hunan cuisine. I looked at Jiang Yimeng with a smile, completely forgetting the pain in my foot.

"By the way, didn't you say you had something to discuss with me?" I suddenly remembered that when Jiang Yimeng asked me out, he said on the road that he had something to tell me, so I asked.

"Oh! It's not a big deal.,That's it.。。。 Aren't you going to leave for the Yellow River tomorrow! I want to go too, don't worry, I will never hold you back. Jiang Yimeng looked at me pitifully and continued: "It's so boring to stay here, I really want to go outside and see the outside world." The Jiang family is just a cage for me. However, as a cage, it should not be decorated so magnificently. ”

"Actually, I'm not used to this kind of busy place, I feel that the green waters and green mountains in the countryside are more suitable for me. But isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to call your home a cage?" Hearing Jiang Yimeng's words, I felt the same comfort.

"If you say it's good, it's home, but if you don't hear it, it's an invisible cage. And I'm like a bird in this cage. Jiang Yimeng lay on the table and sighed.

"I once heard a piano song about a little bird trying to find its own piece of the sky in the dark. It flew for a long time, but it was never found. It's finally tired, tired. Although it has wings, it faces the vast sky. But they don't know where to fly. Just when the bird was confused, a sentence suddenly came to mind: when your eyes are always looking at the sky. Don't forget that your feet are always covered in dust. "I suddenly remembered that I had heard someone else play a song before, and the meaning in it was exactly the same as Jiang Yimeng's inner thoughts now!

"Hehe, facing the open sky, but not knowing where to fly, maybe only the stupidest bird would do that." Jiang Yimeng smiled helplessly.

"But I'm different, I'm looking forward to another bird that can take me out of this invisible cage." Jiang Yimeng looked at me after speaking, and his face became more and more red.

Is this girl interesting to me? Why are you looking at me when you say that! It's like they're talking to me.

I looked out the window away from her eyes, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, and the wind whined the billboards outside.

It's windy, is it finally going to rain? The heat has been going on for so long, and it's time for a little rain.

"Boom" A blinding bolt of lightning mingled with a dull thunder sounded, and then, the dim sky and earth became a blur.

The rain poured down from the sky like a downpour, and pedestrians outside fled to avoid the rain.

"Fellow, authentic Hunan cuisine is coming, you two eat slowly!" The fat chef came over with a couple of waiters with a few steaming plates.

Stir-fried bacon with bamboo shoots, stir-fried meat with chili peppers, chopped fish head with peppers, and what made me even more overjoyed was that there was actually a pot of mutton stewed with lotus folds. That's a real goodie! The lotus fold is only available in Hengyang, and it is also a special product of Hengyang! Hengyang's lotus fold is especially famous for the production of Zhajiang, it is made of Hengyang local sweet potato grinding into flour, and then made into a load fold and then dried, the finished product tastes very delicious, the taste is elastic, rich in nutrition, suitable for all ages.

When the fresh lamb is accompanied by a delicate elastic fold, I really can't think of any words to describe the delicious taste.

"Fellow! Let's sit down and have a drink! After all, it's hard to meet a few people from Hengyang in Tainan," I beckoned to the fat chef.

"Good! Fellow, do you drink beer or liquor? The fat chef readily agreed, then sat down and looked at me with a smile.

"Thank you, fellow, I'm quitting alcohol. I'd better have a drink. I held up a drink and smiled.

"You're welcome, hurry up and eat vegetables! Otherwise, it won't taste good when it's cold, come, try the mutton stew! The fat chef helped scoop a bowl full of mutton stew and put it in front of me: "Come, try it." Let's see if there is a taste of home. ”

I nodded, hurriedly picked up a piece of lotus fold with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, and the spicy smell of chili pepper and the numb smell of Sichuan pepper suddenly spread in my mouth.
