On the weekend of autumn, the weather is no longer hot, and although it is about 30 degrees, the wind blows cold on the face. Lower the windows and enjoy the transparency of the wind blowing on your face while driving, which is the feeling that only you can feel when driving.

Breakfast was served at a breakfast shop in a small town on the side of the national highway. This town was built along the national highway, so there are many shops on both sides of the aisle, and there are four or five breakfast shops in one place, as well as various shops selling clothes, cakes and eggs. These shops all have the same characteristic, which is that they are small.

There are a lot of people eating breakfast in the small shop.

There was also quite a variety of breakfasts. There are rice noodles, rice dough, handmade noodles, braised eggs, hemp dumplings, fried dough sticks, rice cereal, soy milk and deep-fried piercing eye baba. The rice noodles in the breakfast shop were served by a chubby woman in her thirties, and it was her husband who sold hemp mounds, fritters and eye-piercing poop outside, and posted a QR code on the wall next to the stove.

There were five or six people sitting in the shop. There are five small square tables.

Rong Yu ordered a bowl of beef rice noodles, and also ordered an eye-piercing poop, after scanning the code to pay, he went to the various pickles on a long table next to him, took out a small plate, and chose the pickles he liked to eat. Just pick a little and you're stacked with spicy radish strips, foamed pickles, and soybean paste. ginger slices, etc.

The rice noodles are ready, half a bowl of soup, half a bowl of rice noodles, add a little coriander and a little minced garlic and green onions, sit down, pick up chopsticks and start eating.

As soon as you go down with chopsticks, you will know the difference in taste.

The beef broth of rice noodles is thick, and too thick beef broth will make the rice noodles become sticky. Therefore, when you take a bite of rice noodles, you don't have the sense of separation that soup is soup and rice noodles are rice noodles.

This is the reason why the soup is too old. I picked a lump of beef toppings, bit into it, and immediately felt the taste of beef slag in my mouth.

The taste doesn't feel good. Although he is not very picky, he does what he eats, but that is for life. For cooking, this bowl of rice noodles is undoubtedly a failure.

Then I took a bite of the eye-piercing poop, the oil stains were thick and sticky, and there was an astringent taste, and when I took a bite, the oil stains still came out of the poop, so that the mouth was full of cold oil stains and soaked the mouth. The poop was torn apart and full of the ends of the mouth, and a table was dropped.

So this eye-piercing poop is also a failure.

Rong Yu smiled and said to the boss who had just stopped, "The boss has been open for many years?"

When the boss heard this, he grinned at Rong Yu and said, "It's been open for more than ten years, and it's all convenient for the people in the town to eat. Not to mention, I was the first to open this piece, and it took three or four years before they learned from us to open a breakfast shop, and there are two rice noodle shops and a wonton shop on this street. The shops over there have all been closed and closed, and there have been three or four owners in four or five years, and only I have opened the longest."

Speaking of which, the boss is quite proud.

After opening for so many years, the craftsmanship is still like this, Rong Yu boldly speculated that this boss has never systematically learned food cooking, but he did it with his own experience, or he inquired about some messy so-called techniques that others opened a store, and then began to do it himself.

There are a lot of such wild shops. Most of them are located on the side of this national highway, and most of them are family shops. The taste is also good, but most of them are not, so there are not many stores that have been open for a long time, but they can stubbornly close down one and then pop up again.

Therefore, the wild store also has its own reason for survival, convenient. The people in the town are too lazy to cook and just deal with a bite, whether it's breakfast or Chinese food. So very few people in these shops cook dinner. Because the people in this town rarely come out for dinner. There are some restaurants that target truck drivers in the aisles. All the time. As soon as the car stops, someone will be entertained.

Not only to entertain meals, but also to sleep and sleep with you.

"It tastes good!" Rong Yu said.

It tastes good, not tastes good. Yes, there are several ways to understand, the most direct is the understanding of good taste. But what Rong Yu wants to express is that this taste is already like this, where else can it be rotten? So yes, it's just not too wrong

Passed.

The boss laughed so hard that his back molars were exposed.

Anyway, people who come for breakfast are not very picky about food, as long as they can eat it. Those who can come out for breakfast in the town are too lazy to cook at home, or too late to cook at home.

Pick another bite and eat it, the toughness of the rice noodles is not bad, if the toppings are boiled better, it will be delicious. The soup is full of the aroma of star anise, and when you bite into it, you can make a "squeak" sound of chewing peppercorns, and then spit on the ground "baba".

While spitting, he also saw someone like him, protruding the bitten peppercorn powder towards the bite of the underground "bah".

"Are there any delicious restaurants in this generation?" Rong Yu asked the boss while eating.

The boss thought for a moment and said, "About 200 meters ahead of this town, there is a place on the side of the national highway that says "Parking and Lodging", which is a two-story building on the side of the road. You can eat and stay."

A diner next to him laughed and said, "Yes, you can eat, and you can eat chicken!"

"I only know how to eat chicken all day long!" The chubby proprietress scolded the diner who had just interjected, an old man in his fifties, "Your daughter-in-law has been running away for four or five years, have you found it?"

"Find a fart, I'll just eat and drink by myself."

"Haha, you still eat chicken, don't you? Is the chicken delicious?" The people next to him laughed happily, and teasing this kind of old bachelor is also the norm in this kind of small restaurant.

"Hehe, the chicken must be easy to match, some people can't get it." The old bachelor smiled obscenely, "Don't talk about me, you went to the county seat with Zhu Er last time, didn't you?" Don't think I don't know, hehe, it's all men, don't just come to me alone when you speak, everyone knows it!"

Then the rest of the shop burst into laughter.

Anyway, the inside and outside of the store are full of happy air, and everyone is happy and relaxed to communicate in the store. In the process of communication, Rong Yu also finished eating rice noodles and eye-piercing poop.

"Where did my brother come from? I see that the license plate of your car is from Xingsha City, right?" The bachelor guy looked at Rong Yu, took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Rong Yu, Rong Yu took it, took out a lighter, lit it for the bachelor, lit it himself, and took a puff.

"Xingsha is here, it's the weekend, come out and have fun!" Rong Yu smiled, "It's just walking around. Look around for what's good to eat."

"There's nothing fun here, Xingsha is a lot more fun." The bachelor laughed, slapped the hand of the young man who always touched his cigarette case, and scolded, "What kind of cigarette did I learn at a young age, I can't quit, if I can...... I'm still smoking!"

"How long have you been smoking?" The young man took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and then lit it himself, "It's been twenty or thirty years, at least one building has been smoked, you say you, it's strange if your wife doesn't run away!"

"Eight days later, you also said that I'm in my twenties, and I can't find a daughter-in-law or a girlfriend, right? Waste toilet paper every night and roll Nima's eggs." The bachelor laughed and scolded.

The young man didn't care, and smiled at the bachelor, "It's not like you, it makes sense. Female drops? Hehe, the female drop is really not a thing, boss...... Two fried dough sticks and a bowl of rice cereal."

"Hehe, boy, if you don't eat oil and salt in the morning, you don't have energy, and you can't eat chicken!" The other one was also joking.

A large group of people are giggling in the small shop, and they are all very happy anyway.

Rong Yu stood up, threw a pack of cigarettes at the old bachelor, and said with a smile, "Thank you, let's go first." It tastes really good!" He gave a thumbs up to his boss as he spoke.

The boss laughed twice and didn't care about Rong Yu.

The old bachelor saw Rong Yu get into the car, and waved his hand, then picked up the box of cigarettes and looked at it, and couldn't help but smack his mouth and show to the people around him: "Look, what kind of cigarette is this?" and the world, one hundred and one packs, the big boss can eat. I didn't expect to see it!"

"Do you still have time to look away? Tear it down, tear it down, one for each person!" There was a lot of heckling around.

"Phew, think beautifully

Yes. You're so sick of shaving on the back of a turtle—you think it's beautiful!" The old bachelor smiled, "I'll go to Lao Zhou's shop and change it to a four-pack yellow box of Hibiscus King, isn't that a beautiful death?"

While the crowd was still playing tricks, Rong Yu had already started the car. He didn't rush to find the so-called "park-and-stay" restaurant on the side of the road, but planned to go to the next town.

A place is the ethos of a place, but also the taste of a place.

Speaking of which, today's breakfast did feel a bit bad. But Rong Yu ate very happily. It's not just him who is happy, everyone there is happy, which is why the boss's shop doesn't taste good, but it can be opened.

This seems to be somewhat in line with what I am pursuing.

In the same way, in the process of pursuing cooking, the pleasant emotions that arise will make people feel that taste is really not the most important thing.

In fact, that small shop took on the role of a teahouse. A bunch of people ate something in the store, chatted about life, joked around, and finished breakfast with a laugh. Or it has become a center for information exchange, from which you can find out some gossip lace of each family, which meets the psychological needs of curiosity.

Psychological satisfaction far outweighs taste satisfaction.

Just like when there was a person chatting on the side just now, he said that he likes to drink, and the boss prepared fried noodles and a glass of rice wine for him for breakfast. The person next to him joked that he used to be able to drink half a catty of wine with a piece of tofu.

So if the boss asks Rong Yu again now how this bowl of rice noodles tastes, Rong Yu will definitely say, "The taste is terrible." But the vibe is great, it's ok."

That's the right way to put it!

One person, one car, speeding again on the national highway. Ahead is a road with no end in sight, and it is also the path that Rong Yu has always sought ahead.
