Chapter 3 Reflections

"Goo~"

Just as Cao Ge was leaning back in his chair, looking at the screen and pondering, there was a sudden throbbing pain in his stomach.

This throbbing pain made Cao Ge passively arch his waist in pain, and he reached out and kept pressing his stomach to relieve the pain.

"I'm so hungry!" Cao Ge blinked and said.

At this time, he unconsciously glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen, and he realized the fact that he had slept for a day and a night.

Cao Ge looked left and right at the computer desk, which was filled with various beverage cans and instant noodle boxes, and the empty cardboard boxes placed next to the computer desk.

After finding that there was no food in the room, Cao Ge subconsciously glanced out the window and saw the roadside vendors outside the community, then turned off the computer, came to the bathroom, washed up briefly, tidied up his hair, changed his clothes, took his mobile phone, and finally walked out of the door quickly.

Walking in the old residential area, Cao Ge looked at the empty leisure park and walked all the way towards the gate of the community.

He is going to eat something, then go for a haircut, and he won't cut his hair for a month, and his hairstyle is now the same as Ding Yi in the play.

Cao Ge is a person who loves cleanliness, when he was researching, he couldn't do it in order to hurry up, and now that he is idle, he naturally wants to get a spiritual point for himself, he doesn't want to be a pure scholar and scientist, the reason why he is so day and night typing code is because he is a man who loves life.

A scientist who does not pay attention to his image may be respected by ordinary people, but it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to like him, let alone develop admiration.

"Flute Flute !!"

As soon as Cao Ge walked out of the gate of the community, he heard the sound of car horns on the street.

Cao Ge lives in an old town, and out of the neighborhood, the streets are full of vendors doing business.

Cao Ge looked at the old car styles on the street and the motorcycles passing around, although a month had passed, Cao Ge still felt like a world away.

This scene, he remembered that he had just entered college life at that time, and he came back all of a sudden, and he really missed it.

Cao Ge was nostalgic for a while, and then he followed the way he came out, and continued to walk forward, and soon he came to a street full of stir-fry restaurants.

He smelled the smoke and fire in the air, and his stomach screamed again.

Cao Ge walked along the street, looking at the restaurants on both sides of the street, there are many types of restaurants, such as noodle shops, stewed boils, and so on.

There were a lot of freshly fried dishes, and finally Cao Ge stopped in front of a shop with a rich smell of chili peppers in the air.

Cao Ge is a native of Hunan, grew up in Hunan, although it is not spicy or happy, but from time to time you have to taste a bite, otherwise not only your stomach is uncomfortable, but also your heart is uncomfortable.

And for him, who has been hungry for two days, this smell of hometown is simply irresistible.

The reason why he stopped in front of this shop was because the air in front of this shop was filled with the smell of Hunan chili peppers.

Cao Ge turned around and walked directly into the fly hall in front of him.

This restaurant is small in size, the whole is rectangular, about ten meters wide, about four or five meters around, in a small space is placed in six rectangular wooden tables, the big white walls are pasted with a lot of old posters and stickers, there are also menus.

At this time, no one has gotten off work yet, so there are very few customers in the store, only a middle-aged uncle in a white vest and shorts, eating, in addition to him, there is also an aunt sitting on the innermost chair near the kitchen to rest, should be the owner of the store.

Cao Ge briefly glanced at the layout of the restaurant, then found a nearby dining table and pulled out a chair to sit down, and then began to look at the menu placed on the chair.

glanced at the menu, sure enough, there was a large version of Hunan cuisine, looking at those bold characters, although he couldn't see it, Cao Ge already had a big appetite and spoke with gusto.

Seeing that a guest was sitting down, the aunt who was sitting by the curtain of the door to rest also got up and walked over.

"What do you want to eat?" The aunt didn't say anything else, just asked him what he was eating.

Cao Ge looked up at the aunt who came over, he didn't talk nonsense, but pointed directly to the menu: "Let's have a green pepper shredded pork." ”

The aunt glanced at the place where Cao Ge pointed, then picked up the paper and pen in her hand, and read while writing: "A piece of shredded pork with green peppers, what else do you want?" ”

"Another spicy and sour shredded potato."

"Sour and spicy shredded potatoes."

"Finally, there's another seaweed egg soup." Cao Ge said with a move of his finger.

"Okay, you wait a minute, the dish will be ready soon." The aunt finished writing down the dishes she had ordered, spoke to him, then turned and walked towards the back of the shop, and finally opened the curtain that led to the kitchen and walked in.

Then, within a few seconds, the aunt came out again, and continued to sit in the same place where he had been sitting before, and shortly after he sat down, about a minute, the sound of stir-frying flames came from the back kitchen, and not long after, the wonderful smell of chili stir-fried meat wafted from the kitchen.

Cao Ge glanced at the busy figure behind the half-cut curtain, and then glanced at the middle-aged uncle who was sitting on the other side of the store eating, drooling non-stop.

Fifteen minutes later.

Cao Ge looked at the steaming meal in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and then without hesitation, picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, and ate it.

Among them, whether it is green pepper shredded meat or hot and sour shredded potatoes, they are all artifacts for rice, Cao Ge ate it in a big gulp, especially the gray-green oil soup in the shredded meat, and the shreddish potato shredded oil soup in the yellow, poured into the bowl and stirred with rice, it is simply a delicacy in the world.

Because he was hungry for two days, Cao Ge ate the two vegetables and one soup in front of him like a hungry wolf hunting an antelope, and the total time was only half an hour.

He didn't care about the reason that he couldn't eat too much after being hungry for a long time, he ate three bowls of rice in a row and ate all the dishes.

The restaurants in this era are still relatively realistic, so he burped with satisfaction when he was full of two large plates of dishes and a big bowl of soup.

"Partition~"

The belly that had been deflated turned into a bulging state, Cao Ge touched his stomach, then pulled out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth.

After eating, Cao Ge sat on the chair and rested for a while before shouting to his aunt, "Boss settles." ”

"It's 32 in total."

Cao Ge reached out and took out a handful of change from his pants, paid it to the boss, and then got up and walked out of the coffin.

Cao Ge, who walked out of the restaurant, walked slowly on the street, walking.

Soon I walked out of the street and came to a relatively empty street, the road became new and wider, the streets were lined with trees, and there were no houses on both sides of the street, but green belts.

Cao Ge looked at the few cars that appeared on the street from time to time, and began to think about some other questions in his mind.

At first, he was thinking about the scientific conference he was going to tomorrow, what he would do when he arrived, what he would say, and what attitude he should have towards them.

Slowly, he extended to the question of how he should survive in this world in the future.

Is it in the way of ordinary people, or is it to participate in those projects that affect the course of the world, and in what role should he participate?

It took several hours until the end of the evening when Cao Ge came out of a barbershop and returned to his residential building.
