Chapter 9 Rice Noodles

At eight o'clock in the evening, I just woke up and went downstairs to find food.

When I come out alone, I always feel that I can't do anything, and I don't know what to eat so that I won't look so lonely and miserable.

On the weekend exam, Mr. Hai was supposed to accompany the exam, but halfway through, Mr. Hai received an overtime notice and had to return and take the exam by himself. I took two exams a day, and I was very tired and didn't feel very good because of the insufficient review and the cold.

The evening breeze is cool, and the people on the street are hurrying, and after a busy day, they are all rushing home, and there is someone waiting at home. It's out of place for someone like me to be alone, but everyone is busy and no one pays attention to them.

Suddenly attracted by a chic fragrance, looked up, it was a rice noodle shop, I hadn't eaten it for a long time, I wanted to drink a sip of hot and faint rice noodle soup, I opened the door and went in, there were no other guests in the store, the chef and the clerk were eating dinner, the proprietress saw me come in, and greeted me warmly, there were original rice noodles, seafood rice noodles, and fat beef rice noodles.

Eat rice noodles, the bottom soup is very important, the seasoning can not be put more, the soup should be white and transparent, and then a small bowl, add balsamic vinegar and oil to pour spicy seeds, and finally be sure to add a few drops of sesame oil, that taste, fresh and spicy, and add a beef slice, the blanched beef slice is very chewy, and very absorbent, there is the fresh fragrance of rice noodle soup, and there is the stimulating taste of vinegar chili pepper and sesame oil, chewing the mouth is numb, never get tired of eating.

The proprietress recommended the store's special tomato rice noodles, I muttered, I really want to eat meat, the proprietress said: Then come to this, fat beef rice noodles! looked at the marked price, 32 yuan, WeChat wallet only 22 yuan, forget it, bear with it, eat plain vegetarian rice noodles.

Soon the rice noodles were brought up, the white soup, rolled in the hot sand bowl, poured the side dishes in, stirred, and drank a mouthful of soup, it was the familiar taste, and suddenly remembered the rice noodle shop that the university often eats, in the old residential building in the southwest village of the school, it is very small, the boss is an aunt from the northeast, every time I go, I greet warmly, come, my aunt will give you more dishes.

It's June again, it seems that when I went to school, the days in June were the hardest, with tutors, all of them were children in the third year of high school, and the college entrance examination was about to begin, the course counseling had just ended, and I was busy preparing for the final papers and exams, and the holiday internship had not yet been determined, and I didn't know if the little class fee earned could last until next month's salary.

It seems that the days when I don't work are always so tight, the most difficult days are when a steamed bun has to be eaten in three meals, every time Sister Wei can't stand it, she will always say, I want to eat halal canteen, you go with me, I know that Sister Wei is afraid of my embarrassment, and I will say many times when I go to the canteen, let's eat a chicken leg, you accompany me, otherwise I will have no image when I gnaw alone, Senior Ye Rui should laugh when he sees it......

After all, I am from the northwest, and my familiar friends know that I am a carnivore, and I love meat the most, hehe, or I prefer the taste of mutton soup with vermicelli, and the taste that is most like that is rice noodles. Whenever you go to a rice noodle shop when you have plenty of money, you always have to add a portion of beef, and on days when you are not rich, it is also very satisfying to eat some vegetables and drink some hot soup. After going a lot, I gradually got acquainted with my aunt, so much so that even if I ordered vegetarian rice noodles, I would turn out two slices of beef at the bottom of the bowl......

Familiar taste, the mood suddenly improved, the appetite followed well, soon a big bowl of rice noodles bottomed out, the soup was almost drunk, when scooping the soup with a spoon, there seemed to be a large piece of Dongdong, with chopsticks to pick up to see, it was a piece of chicken breast, I looked up, it happened that the proprietress came with a small plate of dishes, the proprietress smiled, just fried an extra piece of meat, how about you taste, and this is the Korean kimchi I made, you also try it, is the rice noodles enough to eat, not enough can be added......

My heart suddenly warmed, I remembered the aunt in the Northeast, remembered the owner of the Lanzhou ramen restaurant at the school gate, and knew that I was a little fellow villager in Qinghai, every time Eid or Eid al-Adha arrived, he would call me and ask me to go to the store to eat, and when I knew that I was doing several internships at the same time, he asked me to help him tutor his daughter, and the class fee was calculated according to the highest standard......

I have been studying outside for more than seven years, and every time I am particularly sad, I will eat a good meal by myself, and the mood of being full will follow......

The most difficult days have passed, but the memory can not be erased, I have always felt that I am particularly unsociable, my father does not love my mother, I am used to wandering alone, but there will always be some lovely people around me, every time I give myself a trace of warmth when I am most desperate, just like this rice noodle, just whispered a sentence that I want to eat meat, and turned out the meat at the bottom of the bowl.
