Chapter 157: The Warmth of the Food Stalls
An afternoon has passed, and I am still the same, at a loss!
I know that there must be countless people watching my jokes, I don't want to go back to the cold community, I don't want to go back to his residence, I'm so afraid that I will slowly sink into this storm without gunpowder in the scene.
Knowing that it was late at night and the coffee shop was closed, I was forced to walk out.
My phone still rings in the sky, but I'm really annoyed! There is a kind of world that does not want to exist in the barren world, leaving silently, without alarming any clouds.
"Ah Xuan?"
An unfamiliar voice came from behind me, and although it wasn't me, it still looked back.
The dark shadow slowly walked towards me, and I gradually saw her clearly.
That day, the venue recognized me as Yuxuan's person.
I replied to her weakly: "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not Yuxuan." ”
Ke Lan also just came out of the party, full of wine.
This woman is dressed up decently, and she is generous everywhere, as always, neither humble nor arrogant. I looked at her with a faint sourness in my heart, but it didn't prevent me from admiring her.
"Are you drunk? Do you want me to call a car for you? ”
Ke Lan looked at her quietly for a while.
"No, I'm not drunk, I just deliberately sprayed some alcohol on my body"
? Can you spray alcohol on your body? I've only heard of perfume spraying on my body, but I didn't expect wine to spray on my body too!
She said in a daze, "You like the aroma of wine?" ”
Ke Lan looked at her innocent face without any harm, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Wine can only be poured into the stomach or added to dishes, and I don't like the aroma of wine."
Indissoluble?!
"Then why are you spraying wine on your body again?"
Ke Lan also saw today's news hotspots, and knew that she must be cumbersome now, although she is not Yuxuan, but when I saw her for the first time, I felt that she and I had an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"On this snowy day, do you want to find a place to sit with me, I just told you the reason?"
An Hao nodded in agreement.
After a few roads, Ke Lan took her to a side street stall.
"Miss Gu won't mind, right?"
Although I have seen many reports before that there are many invisible carcinogenic foods in such places, I can't help but look at her excited appearance.
I politely replied to her: "I don't care." ”
She seemed to be a regular visitor here, and the boss recognized her after a while, knowing that she was used to it, and just asked her
"Or is it the same as before?"
Ke Lan nodded: "The boss added two bottles of beer to me, cold." ”
I watched her dress, she didn't look like an ordinary person, didn't she know that the food safety in such a place was really unproven.
Ke Lan looked at Anhao
Take a closer look at her, although she has the same face as Ah Xuan, but she doesn't have the slightest trace of the aura between her eyebrows, and the girl in front of her is cute like a sister of the leading family.
"Because I'm going to attend a reception, if I don't spray some wine on my body and pretend to be drunk, they won't let me leave the table easily."
I don't understand: "Isn't wine bitter, why do you drink it if you don't like it?" ”
The boss brought two bottles of beer in glass bottles
Ke Lan smiled back at her: "That's because you haven't experienced the hardships of life, don't believe it, you drink this bottle now"
An Hao took a sip in disbelief.
"It's still the same bitterness"
Ke Lan exhaled softly: "Who drinks like this, do you take a big sip and drink again?" ”
Anyway, I feel bored, and I don't know if it can dispel my sorrows, so I'd rather give this "rain and dew!" ”
A big sip of simmering down, it seems to be a little indescribably refreshing.
"It's the first time I've tried cold beer in winter, but it's quite comfortable."
Ke Lan moved the kebab to her: "You, you should bring some fireworks"
The smell of fireworks? Does it mean that the water turns into liquid water vapor when cooking? I don't think I have cooked in years.
After taking a sip of beer, she looked at the deserted street in the distance
"The last time I came here was when I just graduated, when I was working hard alone, I didn't even sleep for a few hours every day, and I worked day and night, and I had to accept the selection of this society, thinking that although I was very busy, at least I lived a fulfilling life every day."
Under the hazy street lamp, I saw some hazy vicissitudes.
Suddenly, I felt that the food stalls were the most humane places in an indifferent city.
Watching the strange dignified heroine carrying her skirt, throwing off her arms, sitting on Maza, sitting at the small table, looking at the dim lights and tree shadows on the roadside, barbecue skewers, fried rice and pho, duck head lo-mei...... As the foam of the beer churns in, it gets better.
All kinds of delicacies stained with the smell of fireworks are eaten in the noisy streets in the middle of the night, by a group of acquaintances or unacquaintances, in between warm or insipid confessions. Is this what life is all about?
"Hello? May I ask your name? ”
Ke Lan looked at her: "My name is Ke Lan, I am a public servant, I work in the city government, if you have anything, you can come to me." ”
I was a little embarrassed when people who worked in the government came to eat at the roadside stalls......
"Forgive me, at first glance, you are a girl with a cold temperament, how could you go to such a noisy place to eat?"
She was almost amused by being well
"What is lacking in those tall restaurants is not food, but the fireworks of the lives of the little people. Chinese food stalls, like the Japanese Yatai and the French Bistrots, are one of the few places where adults can "let themselves go". Don't you feel comfortable right now? ”
Listening to her say this, it seems to be a very comfortable gesture, you don't have to care about what others think of you, the important thing is that everyone who comes here is to let go of themselves and seek happiness, and they don't care about other people's opinions at all.
"The food stalls are the most down-to-earth places in a city, and these fiery foods, mixed with the stories of the Zhang family and the Li family, not only comfort our stomachs but also soothe our hearts."
An Hao took a second look at the place.
There are the simplest tables, chairs and tableware, and there is no status or status; There are the most ordinary ups and downs, and there is no business of millions at every turn; There is the most relaxed laughter and scolding, and there is no conspiracy and calculation; There is all the appetite and poetry of this summer, and there is a group of people who are the most real and unpretentious.
"It's as sad as I used to be."
Ke Lan ate the meat skewers and smiled without saying a word.
"The food stalls are mixed, but they are full of color and fragrance, with a sense of rivers and lakes. If you are sad, cry out, and in a moment a stranger will come and comfort you. ”
"You know this place, have you cried here too?"
She didn't answer her question. She thinks back to the hard summers when she just graduated.
She remembers that summer, some people fell out of love, and they came to the food stall alone to drink all night, crying to death, and the bosses and diners couldn't look past it, so they came up to persuade them; Some people took advantage of the alcohol to finally muster up the courage to confess to the girl they liked, and the people in the entire food stall were happy for him; Some people are not satisfied with their work, and they pour themselves a drink of stuffy wine, and the boss is busy drinking a few glasses with him, listening to the chatter......
"Life is so smooth sailing, if it's always so smooth sailing, you won't be able to go through difficult times."
Listening to her say this, it seems to be like this, I have been protected in the greenhouse by my brother over the years, and I have never experienced any wind and rain, so I am so fragile, in the dim lights and tree shadows on the roadside, the food stalls are mixed, but they are alive and fragrant, with a sense of rivers and lakes, at this moment I understand that life is not easy but so happy.
Ke Lan picked up the beer in his left hand and the skewers in his right hand, and he didn't have his usual work at all: "Whether you are an urban elite or a senior executive of a listed company during the day, a handful of beef, a handful of tendons, and a handful of small ribs, in front of the most down-to-earth food, anyone can find the most comfortable self, you don't have to be too restrained." People are like pan ducks, and the food stalls are the tiles that shelter from the wind and rain in the troubled times, which can best soothe the hearts of every passerby. It's not about what you eat, it's about enjoying the process of serving your mouth and mood in a hurry, roasting and eating, and leaving the annoying things behind. ”
Watching her drink and eat meat, I can't help but admire her with these inspiring words.
I suddenly remembered that there was a sentence in the documentary "A String of Life" that I watched before: "Without fireworks, life is a lonely journey." ”
An Hao also picked up the skewer and ate it without caring about the image: "When you are sad, you have to eat, because the appetite and the heart are very close, and when you are full, the warm stomach will squeeze the place of the heart, so that the heart will not feel so cold and empty." ”
Watching her eat skewers with a serious face, I can't help but feel a little funny.
"You grew up in the United States?"
With his eyes on the food, he nodded flutteringly.
No wonder, her style of a famous lady is very natural not to twist.
She really feels like she gets along with each other, if it weren't for her face and her own princess atmosphere, she would really think she was Yuxuan.
If Ah Xuan is still here, will she feel that life is not easy now? Do you want to think about the firewood, rice, oil, and salt of life? Alas... Everyone is gone, why do you still want to do this trivial matter, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, why bother to worry about tomorrow.
"Don't drink too fast, you'll get drunk in a while, I don't know where to send you back."
Probably because the wine strengthened the bear's guts, and after a few sips of beer, she gradually let go.
"Ke Lan, do you know, Wong Kar-wai said: "In the land of wind and dust, there must be people with temperament." "You are what he calls a man of temperament."
"There is no temperament in the world, but they are just comforting themselves in the city life that has abused me thousands of times."
When twilight falls and the lights come on, that thriving corner becomes the last safe haven of the city, and if you feel lonely, sad or tired, go to a food stall once, eat enough, warm your heart, and tomorrow you will have the strength to work.
