Early the next morning.

Everyone gathered for breakfast and continued on the journey.

Unlike yesterday, Lu You, who was supposed to be sitting in the driver's seat and in charge of the morning drive, was lying in the back seat at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The driver was replaced by Su Huaiyu.

More than an hour passed, and the sun was getting stronger.

The blazing sunlight hit Lu You's face through the car window, dissipating the remaining half of sleep.

Lu You opened his eyes, adjusted his sitting posture, turned his head to look at the passing scenery outside the window, and asked, "Where are you now?" ”

"I don't know, I've never been to this place."

Tang Wan said as she took out a brand new bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Lu You.

"Here, it's better to get up and drink some water."

"Thank you."

Lu You took the water bottle, raised his head, and drank most of the bottle in one go.

The cool water flows all the way to the stomach, diluting the bitterness in the mouth and moisturizing the parched throat.

Deng Rui, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked back at Lu You and asked suspiciously, "Lu Dashen, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Lu You glanced at Tang Wan quietly, screwed on the cap of the mineral water, and replied lightly: "The bed in the hotel is too soft, I am not used to it, and I can't sleep well." ”

"What about you? How did you sleep last night? Lu You asked rhetorically.

"Very good! I've never slept in such a comfortable bed! As soon as you close your eyes and open them, it's the next day! ”

Of course, it would be more perfect if there was no Li Yu annoying!

Deng Rui thought secretly.

"I envy you young people, who are in good health, and fall asleep." Lu You said with emotion.

"Aren't you a young man?" Deng Rui said with a smile.

Lu You shook his head, pressed his waist with one hand, and sighed: "It's different, when your family has two more mouths that can't be fed, you will understand." ”

"What do you mean?" Deng Rui was confused.

Tang Wan tilted her head to look at the window, and silently gave Lu You a kick, her ears were as red as ripe cherries.

Lu You curled the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "You will know later." ”

The car continued to drive for a while.

Suddenly, there was a mechanical sound from the navigation welcoming to the boundaries of Yu Province.

Tang Wan looked up and looked ahead, and said with some expectation: "Yu Province!" It's my first time here! I don't know what's special here. ”

Lu You crossed his arms and thought about it, and said, "Does stealing a manhole cover count?" ”

Tang Wan: ?

"What old terrier? I'm afraid it's not older than me! Say something else. ”

Lu You thought for a while and said, "Then only the unique difficulty of the college entrance examination remains." ”

"What paper is used in the college entrance examination in Yu Province?" Deng Rui asked curiously.

"Like us, one volume for the whole country." Lu You replied truthfully.

"Since the papers are not different, why do you still say that the difficulty of the college entrance examination in Yu Province is unique?" Deng Rui looked puzzled.

Lu You pondered for a moment and explained: "The college entrance examination can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the examination room, and the other is school admission.

As we all know, the admission policy of colleges and universities is preferential to students in this province, which is why many people want a local hukou in the capital.

There are too many 985 colleges and universities in the capital, even if you exclude the top Capital University and Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, the remaining few can kill other provinces in the country.

With the same score and the same ranking, 985, which can easily rank high in the capital, can be placed in Yu Province and our Yue Province, and it is estimated that it will be able to stabilize 211.

However, if it is worse, we still win too much in Yu Province, at least we have Shuangyashan and Wushan two 985 big brothers to support the row.

Moreover, Yue Province is also the largest economic province in the country, with many large enterprises, and if you are employed locally, the competitiveness of some good double non-non colleges and universities is not worse than that of 211 in other provinces.

Henan Province is miserable, as a large province, not only there are no 985 colleges, even 211 is only one, and the number of college entrance examinations is still the largest number of provinces in the country, the base is large, the number of repeaters is also large, and it is rolled to the sky every year. ”

Tang Wan took out her mobile phone and searched on Baidu, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"One and a million candidates? That's 500,000 more than our monthly savings! It's scary! ”

Deng Rui also immediately took out his mobile phone to search, and when he saw the amazing data, he was surprised, "It is estimated that those candidates who can come out of Henan Province will never want to go back in this life." ”

"I don't want to change me, I finally got out of the sea of suffering, and there is no reason to jump back."

Tang Wan slid her finger across the screen, and when she saw that there were only 50,000 college entrance examination students in the capital's 8 985 and 26 211, she threw her phone aside.

It's true that I don't see it, and if I see it, I add to my own blockage, and out of sight is clean.

"Don't talk about that, it's uncomfortable to hear. Let's talk about something else, is there anything delicious and fun in Yu Province? ”

Lu You recalled the strategy he had made in advance and said: "In terms of eating, the noodles and cold dishes in Yu Province are very good, such as stewed noodles, soup dumplings, nepeta with cucumbers, and sesame sauce with gluten.

For fun, the most famous places in Henan Province are Bianjing and Luoyi, and there are many attractions worth seeing. It's a pity that our destination this time is Greentown, so we have no chance. ”

"Bianjing, Luoyi?"

Tang Wan whispered, feeling inexplicably familiar in her heart.

"I've watched a lot of costume TV series, and they have these two places in them."

"Bianjing, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, Luoyi, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, was prosperous for a while in ancient times, and the cultural heritage is profound, so it is normal to be used as a background." Lu You said with a smile.

"Why don't we go to Bianjing and Luoyi for a week after the winter vacation? Anyway, there is nothing to do when you go home, otherwise you will travel to broaden your horizons. Tang Wan said on a whim.

Lu You didn't agree, but said: "There are still a few months left in the winter vacation, no one knows if there will be time then, let's talk about it when we have the chance!" ”

"Okay!" Tang Wan was disappointed, but she didn't force it.

……

As the evening approached seven o'clock, the sun was setting in the west.

The crimson glow spread across the entire blue sky.

After a bumpy day, the group finally arrived at the second foothold of the trip, Greentown.

Greentown, although the economy is not as good as Yangcheng and Pengcheng in the Pearl River Delta, but it is also the capital of a province, belonging to the ranks of first-tier cities, and there should be high-rise buildings, Ambilight, all complete.

Due to the late day, the crowd did not choose to go to the hotel, but drove into the residential area, found an old shop that looked a little old, and prepared to settle dinner.

Park the car and walk into the restaurant.

The store is not large, conservatively estimated to be less than 100 square meters, with three long tables and four small square tables, and a few customers sit sporadically.

There was a strange smell of mutton mixed with various spices in the air, but it was not unpleasant.

The crowd found a long table with no one and sat down.

As soon as his buttocks stuck to the stool, an old man with gray hair and a lot of energy leaned over with a meal sheet in his hand and greeted him warmly: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Lu You looked around and saw the blue and white bowls in front of the other customers, so he asked, "Boss, do you have any local characteristics?" ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately understood, and the smile on his face became more and more eager, "You are from other places, right?" ”

Lu You nodded and admitted, "We are from Yue Province." ”

"Moon-saving people? It's rare! ”

There are many outsiders in Yue Province, but there are not many people in Yue Province from other places, especially in a province like Henan Province, which has a strong outflow of population.

"Are you here for a tour? However, the start of school is approaching, and it is too late to travel at this time. The old man asked himself.

"Boss, if you have anything to say later, can you order food first?" Lu You reminded.

The old man came back to his senses and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I broke out!" You're just asking about local specialties, right? ”

"Yes." Lu You bowed slightly, "What is your family's best at?" ”

"Naturally, it's lamb stewed noodles and lamb bones! It's not me who blows, our family's ......"

Lu You hurriedly interrupted the old man's storytelling session and said, "Then come to eight bowls of mutton stewed noodles, you look at the mutton bones, we are all quite edible." ”

It's not that Lu You doesn't respect the old man, it's really hungry.

He had eaten only two loaves of bread at noon, and had already digested them all, and he had driven for several hours in the afternoon, and if he didn't hurry up for dinner, he was afraid that he would starve to death here.

"Do you want a cold dish?"

"A few appetizers."

"Wait five minutes, I'll do it for you right away!" The old man jotted down the menu and turned back to the kitchen.

The people of Yu Province are not like the people of Yue Province.

The five minutes of the people of Yue Province are the five minutes defined by himself, and the five minutes of the people of Yu Province are really three hundred seconds.

The kung fu of the conversation, eight bowls of fragrant mutton stewed noodles, two large pots full of mutton bones, and four dishes of exquisite cold dishes were all placed in front of everyone.

The old man wiped his hands on his apron and said, "Come, try my handiwork!" ”

Lu You picked up the chopsticks and stirred them twice in the bowl.

The noodles are two finger wide noodles, and the soup is a thick white broth, with a layer of mutton fat floating on the soup noodles, as well as other ingredients such as coriander, chopped green onions, and minced mutton.

Lu You took a pair of chopsticks and noodles, blew away the hot air, and carefully put it in his mouth.

"How's it taste?" The old man asked earnestly.

Lu You didn't respond, sucked the whole noodle into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

"Boss, is your side handmade?"

There is a huge gap between handmade noodles and machine-made noodles, so you can try them out.

"Of course!"

The old man said proudly: "From flour to noodles, the whole process is made by me, and there is no deception!" ”

Lu You lowered his head and took a sip of the noodle soup, and the unique taste burst out in his mouth.

The flavor of the lamb and the various seasonings are intertwined, and it is difficult to describe it in words.

"This soup is delicious! I've never drunk anything like this before! Lu You praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha! Young man, you know the goods! ”

The old man pointed to the two pots of mutton bones on the table and said: "My mutton soup is boiled with these mutton leg bones and mutton scorpions, and it is boiled until the soup takes on the color of milk. ”

The rest of the people also picked up their chopsticks.

I have to say that the reason why the old store is an old store naturally has its own reason.

The lamb bones are stewed very badly, and they have absorbed enough soup, and they are deboned when they are sipped, and the juice is full.

The four dishes of cold dishes are not simple, especially the sesame sauce mixed with gluten, one bite down, like squeezing a sponge, the mouth is full of juice.

After eating noodles, drinking the noodle soup, and gnawing off the three sheep bones, Lu You took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said, "Boss, with your skills, it's a waste not to open a chain store!" In this way, you come to the month to save money, I contribute funds, you contribute technology, we join forces to become bigger and stronger together! ”

The old man couldn't help laughing, and said disapprerovingly: "It's bigger and stronger, and it's very expensive to open a chain store, I think you're in your early twenties at most, how much money can you come up with?" Is there 20,000? ”

Everyone's faces instantly turned strange.

20,000 yuan?

This is an insult to the rich brother!

"If you dare to do it with me, I will dare to pull investment, believe it or not?"

The old man waved his hand, and he was laughing as Lu You.

"Forget it, people are old, and they can't do it without the momentum of young people. Besides, my mutton stewed noodles, don't look at the good sales, once you go to other provinces, others are likely to be unaccustomed to eating, besides, there are some crafts that can't be taken away! ”

“”

"That'll do!"

Lu You didn't force it anymore, grabbed a mutton bone, tore off the mutton and fed it to Tang Wan's mouth.

In a short time, the people were full of food and drink.

Lu You scanned the QR code on the door of the store and asked, "Boss, how much?" ”

The old man poked his head out of the kitchen door curtain and said, "Your first time here, give you a discount and charge 200!" ”

Lu You raised his eyebrows.

Eight people, only two hundred.

This price is really affordable.

Lu You put his thumb on the fingerprint recognition area, and when the bell rang for the receipt, he shouted: "Boss, we are leaving, next time we come to travel, we will come to help again!" ”

"There may not be a next time! When the rent is due at the end of the year, it's going to close! ”

Lu You was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" Is business bad? ”

"No, business is good. It was my child who urged me to go over to live with him, and I urged him for several years, and I didn't want to delay it any longer. ”

"Then there's no need to close the door, right? You can find a young apprentice and pass on the craft to him. ”

"Haha!"

The old man's words were a little more bitter, and he said: "There are no young apprentices, all of them have gone to work in other provinces!" The young people in Yu Province are all aiming to leave Yu Province! ”
