Chapter 271: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
There was a sound of scattered footsteps in my ears, and I followed the sound and saw three drunken men approaching from a short distance, and they hooked each other's shoulders to support their companion's swaying steps, and one of them glanced at me as he walked past me, and gave me a drunken smile.Chinese
When I entered the alley, it was pitch black, but now there are not only street lights, but also pedestrians.
The drunks who walked in front of me obviously did not see the scene of the ghost gate floating in the air, and their faces did not show the astonishment of witnessing the spectacle in the light of the light.
I looked up at the night sky and pondered for a long time. But no matter what I thought, I couldn't explain whether the scene that appeared in front of me was real or false.
I stood directly under the lamp head, and I could clearly feel that the light would flicker on and off irregularly, until the shaking voltage made the light suddenly become extremely bright, and I was worried that the bulb would burst above my head, so I quickly left the alley.
When I returned to the hot pot restaurant, the red soup and the flames under the pot no longer made me feel uncomfortable, and I sat opposite Li Huaishan, staring at a plate of oil with minced garlic, and I couldn't relax for a long time.
Or Li Huaishan took the initiative to ask me: "Didn't you go out to find the toilet, why did you come back so soon?" I raised my eyebrows to look at him: "What do you want me to go to the toilet?" Li Huaishan: "You rushed out of the store with your stomach covered, not looking for a toilet, what else could you do?" But if you do go to the toilet, you really can't come back so quickly. "I thought I had been in the alley for at least forty minutes, but Li Huaishan actually said that I came back too quickly.
I took out my phone and looked at it, it was 11:40, and if I remember correctly, when I parked the car in front of the hotel, it should have been a little over 11:30.
Combined with the time spent waiting for the soup pot to be served after entering the store, the time should be close to forty when I go out.
So, I just stood in the alley for a while, and then I came out? I stared at the time on my phone, my mind was a little dazed, Li Huaishan raised his hand and shook it in front of my eyes: "Are you okay, how do you feel that you are not right today." I waved my hand, didn't say anything, and then stared at the red soup in the pot that was not yet boiling.
The dish was ordered by Li Huaishan, twelve catties of various kinds of meat and some green leafy vegetables, which is all the content of this meal.
Speaking of which, Li Huaishan and I are both pure carnivores, and at the same time pure vegetarian animals, eating meat is eating meat, eating vegetables is eating vegetables, meat must be eaten in large gulps, vegetables must be eaten green, we have never had any interest in the kind of semi-meat food mixed with vegetables and meat.
The red soup pot is divided into four compartments, two for scalding meat and the other two for scalding vegetables.
There is a clear distinction between the two and the blue, and you can't take a step beyond the thunder pool. Li Huaishan was eating red soup hot pot for the first time in Sichuan, and he couldn't figure out why there was no sesame sauce in the store, and why the oil in the pot was already very thick, but the things in the dipping dish were still sesame pepper oil with garlic.
Of course, there were other condiments in the oil dish in addition to minced garlic, but Li Huaishan only saw minced garlic. In fact, when I first went to Bohai, I couldn't figure out why people there had to dip their spicy hot pot in sesame sauce.
After all, in my opinion, eating hot pot and eating mutton shabu are obviously two different things. It wasn't until later that I realized that the reason why the sauce I ate was different was all at the bottom of the pot, the bottom of the pot in Sichuan and Chongqing was spicy enough and full of flavor, while in other regions, the bottom of the pot was relatively light, and in some places I ate hot pot, or even didn't use the bottom of the pot at all, just boiling the sweet spring water.
When you eat hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing, you eat the mellow aroma of the bottom of the pot, while when you eat hot pot in other places, many times you eat the sweetness of the dipping sauce.
The food culture is just different. Fortunately, Li Huaishan is also a person who eats all over the world, he can withstand the spicy taste of red soup and the garlic taste in the oil dish.
I haven't eaten this red soup for a long time, and I haven't stopped talking, and the oil dish has been changed four or five times in a row.
At first, Li Huaishan asked for more than ten catties of meat in one go, and the clerk in charge of helping me order food also asked him if he had never eaten hot pot before, and reminded him not to order so much, and if he couldn't eat it, it would be wasted.
Li Huaishan told him that neither of us would necessarily have enough to eat such a thing, and when the clerk heard his words, he pursed his lips with disdain, with a subtext in his expression: "Blow it, you will." ”。
Probably in order to prove to Li Huaishan how much meat the twelve catties of meat had, the other party took all the twenty-four plates of meat at once, which caused the nearby guests to look sideways.
We didn't care so much, we just ate with our heads bored, and the clerk who was in charge of ordering just now was standing with his hands on the side, as if he wanted to see our jokes.
Twenty-four plates of meat, Li Huaishan and I probably took more than half an hour to eat, although the main force of the meal has always been me, but Li Huaishan did not eat less tonight, the people at the adjacent table all put down their chopsticks, and watched us eat with wide eyes, and the clerk standing not far away also lowered his hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
After eating everything including the greens, the shopkeeper came to our table with a plate of shutters.
When I used to eat and drink in this shop, my favorite thing to eat was this white green shutter, and when the shopkeeper put the plate in front of me, I first chuckled in my heart, and then slowly raised my head and looked at the shopkeeper's smiling face.
The shopkeeper stroked the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Old Song just shaved it for you, taste it." "Lao Song is the cook in this shop, and when I used to come here, I often joked that he could only adjust the bottom of the pot, and his skill in shaving meat was not good.
The shopkeeper can mention Lao Song in front of me, which means that he has recognized me. I knew I shouldn't have eaten so much, he must have been staring at me when I was eating just now, he didn't recognize me when I first entered the store, but I saw too much, and I could still recognize it sooner or later.
I smiled a little awkwardly and called out, "Uncle Chen." The boss patted me on the shoulder helplessly: "Guawaer, think I don't recognize you?" Where have you been all these years, you have been looking for you for a long time, and she has come to my store several times. "嬢嬢 can be roughly understood as:
"Auntie". I still smiled awkwardly: "It's true that I haven't been back to see my aunt for a while." "The shopkeeper also knows a little bit about the situation of our family, he just patted me on the shoulder twice, and then didn't say anything, glanced at Li Huaishan, frowned and left.
To be honest, I don't know why he frowned at Li Huaishan, for more than a year, Li Huaishan has already faded from that sturdiness under the cultivation of the second master and Yu Liyan, if he doesn't have in-depth contact, he looks like an ordinary young man, but the shopkeeper's eyes just now are clearly a little disgusted.
When Li Huaishan and I finished eating and were about to settle the bill, the owner didn't know where to go, and only one clerk stood at the counter to help us settle the meal.
Except for the plate of shutters given by the boss, there was no discount on this meal. We ate so much that the clerk who collected the money didn't even give us a fraction of two dollars.
When I came out of the store, Li Huaishan also asked me if I had any relationship with the shopkeeper, I shook my head, and just said that Uncle Chen's behavior tonight was indeed a little strange, but I couldn't tell why he was like this.
However, at this stage, I don't want to have too much to do with my past, and I don't plan to know what happened to the owner, after all, for me in high school, their family was just a temporary haven for me, and his son was just a person who knew me better.
As I said, I had no friends before I met Li Ergou. For those who treat me as a friend and take care of me from time to time, in addition to gratitude, I also feel guilty because of the emotional asymmetry between them.
I swore a long time ago that what I owe you now, I will find a chance to pay it back in the future. Hammer and Hei were still asleep, and when I drove the car onto the road, I took one last look at the hot pot restaurant behind me, and then didn't stop any longer and drove the car into the night.
Li Huaishan has a special sensitivity to direction, at first we were just setting up an aimless blind turn, but then he seemed to feel something, and kept directing me to change direction.
As we approached a little closer, we came to a construction site where several freshly framed high-rise buildings stood in the dark, and the faint snoring of construction workers could be heard from time to time in the steel-framed houses on both sides of the road.
I don't know what kind of intuition Li Huaishan relied on to bring us here, but the path between the construction sites is indeed a very good place to rest.
Well, that's it. Li Huaishan ran to the trunk to get a blanket and pillow, while I got out of the car and walked silently to the depths of the path.
It didn't take long for Li Huaishan to chase after me and ask me in a low voice, "What are you doing in the middle of the road when you don't sleep?" I looked around for a while, making sure that there was no one else here except me and Li Huaishan, and then I said to Li Huaishan: "Tonight, something happened to the Netherworld Tongbao?" Li Huaishan seemed to be a little confused, first scratched his scalp, but quickly reacted: "You left the hot pot restaurant, is it because of ......" Before he finished speaking, I took out the Netherworld Treasure.
Just as I did when I summoned the Oni Gate in the ring, I first incorporated Yin Yang Qi into my blood, and then slammed my five fingers together, causing the edge of the Netherworld Treasure to pierce the skin at the base of my fingers.
The ghost gate soon appeared, but it was the familiar stone door, and the door was engraved with dense ghost inscriptions, forming the couplet on the northern mountain.
I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, originally, I was going to summon the bronze ghost gate, but it didn't appear.
