Chapter 66: Beef Ramen
When we returned to our seats, the bearded men were gone, and we don't know if they got off the train or went to another carriage because of our group; But it's a good thing, when I see them, I think of the woman's bones and feet under the hem of her clothes, and I add to my own cover. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because there is no direct train to Minxian County, Hu Laoqi booked a ticket to Lanzhou; By this time, the train had already completed a short and half of the journey, and there were still several hours of ordeal waiting for us to go through. Lin Zi sat in my place to fight the landlord with Hu Laoqi and them, while I sat on the seat near the aisle, looking at the scenery flying outside the car with my eyes lost, and my mind fell into a state of mid-emptiness.
Why would a fake pregnant woman carry a bone under the placket, no, it could be the skeleton of a baby? Why is the beard that I discovered the secret so cautious? Who are they? What do you do with a baby's skeleton? Although I did not want to think about these things, as soon as I closed my eyes, one mystery after another came to my mind like flies that could not be driven away; For a moment, my mind was in turmoil! I took a dejected sip of water, and then silently recited a meditation mantra in my mind.
I don't know when, but I fell asleep in my seat......
"Brother Tian, wake up, we're here!"
The shouts of the woods rang out in my ears, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and rubbed my sore neck; Because I was riding in a hard seat, I slept with my head tilted on the seat, so now I wake up with a sore neck. The train has stopped on the platform smoothly, and a large number of people on the seats are crowding towards the carriage door in an orderly manner, for fear that the train will leave in a minute or two at night, which makes me feel inexplicably upset!
At this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was approaching autumn, and the sky was already a little foggy; When I got off the train, the cool breeze blew on my body and I felt a little chill. Lanzhou, as the provincial capital of Gansu, is inevitably indispensable to the bright lights and green nights and songs that he deserves. We walked out of the platform with the flow of people, looking blankly at this bustling and bustling metropolis, although I have been here, but it was a few years ago, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
"Let's go! Take you to eat the most authentic beef noodles! ”
When you come to Lanzhou, you will inevitably have to taste the "Cow Bowl", which is the most distinctive local custom. Hu Laoqi has been here more than once, and he is familiar with the road conditions in Lanzhou, so he naturally acted as a guide for us, and because we took the train for a day, our stomachs were already hungry, and naturally we couldn't wait to eat quickly.
casually hailed two taxis, and Hu Laoqi and Xun Si took one in front to lead the way for us; Before getting into the car, I inadvertently glanced back, but saw a familiar figure; It's him? With a beard, he was standing at the exit and smiling viciously at me......
I didn't know what his smile meant, and I didn't think much of it, because I was in the car and away from his sight.
The taxi was on a whirlwind, and I was dizzy for a while, and I couldn't tell what was east and west, north and south, but fortunately, it finally stopped in front of a delicately decorated beef noodle restaurant, and before I could see what the name of the beef noodle restaurant was, Lin Zi pulled me into it in a hurry.
Beef noodles are generally eaten by more people in the morning, which is equivalent to evening, which is a bit stretched; There were only seven or eight sporadic guests inside, and the five of us sat around a large table chattering about the depression along the way, like a group of monkeys in the circus, which attracted the frequent attention of those few sporadic guests.
In a short time, several large bowls of hot beef noodles were already served to the waiters in the restaurant; One clear, two white, three green, four red, five yellow unique and gorgeous to attract our index fingers, without too much politeness, add a little chili pepper and a little vinegar This is the habit that I have always retained when eating beef noodles. "Whispering...... "A few people who were originally chattering began to bow their heads and eat violently under my leadership.
The authentic beef noodles are really delicious, and it would be even better if there was another egg! My mind never seemed to stop, and in an instant, I remembered a lot of allusions about beef noodles:
The authentic Lanzhou beef ramen was founded in 1916 by Ma Baozi, a Hui person in the Guangxu period, when Ma Baozi's family was poor and forced by life, he made hot pot beef noodles at home, and sold them along the streets in the city on his shoulders. Later, he mixed the soup of boiled beef and mutton liver into the beef noodles, which was fragrant, and everyone liked his beef noodles, and he highlighted the word "Qing". Then he opened his own shop, no need to sell along the street, just thought of launching a free "a bowl of soup in the store", the customer came in, and the guy immediately served a bowl of fragrant and hot beef soup for the guests to drink, refreshing and refreshing. Ma Baozi's clear soup beef noodles became famous, and Ma Baozi operated until 1925, when his son Ma Jiesan took over the operation. Ma Jiesan continued to work the word "Qing" and constantly improved the beef ramen, until he became famous in all parties and was given the title of "smelling the fragrance and getting off the horse, knowing the taste and stopping".
Moreover, there are many kinds of them, such as the "big wide" with a width of two fingers, the "two wide" with a width of two fingers, the "leek leaf" shaped like a blade of grass, and the "a nest of silk" as thin as a silk thread.
After patting our belly and eating enough, Hu Laoqi took us to find a place to live, which was a fairly good star-rated hotel; It was a double room, one room with Lin Zi, one room with Hu Qi and Shi Si, and one room for Hu Laoqi who lied that he slept and snored very shamelessly.
Lin Zi yelled that he wanted to go out for a spin because he had never been to Lanzhou since he was a child, and he dragged Hu Qi out; Originally, he wanted to pull me here, but I didn't want to go out, I always felt that I was not used to the hustle and bustle of the big city, and I had to cross the street and find a chance to see the stitches.
Lying on the bed in the hotel, looking at the white roof, my mind thought of my grandmother, thought of the apricot blossom eyes, and remembered many, many things, which passed through my mind like a movie. What is Grandma doing now? Xinghuayan is not dead, what will she do?
"Not dead? Then the bloody corpse ......"
The picture in my mind froze instantly, and I sat up suddenly; yes, ever since I came out of the house, I always felt like I had forgotten something and never remembered it. It's a bloody corpse! I always thought that the blood corpse would be an apricot blossom eye, but after I checked it out, it wasn't; What I never remembered in my mind was not the bloody corpse, but the thing that hid in the shadows and attacked the bloody corpse! That's the point I've been missing.
