Liu Xin sat down in a braised noodle restaurant in Qiaotou, "Boss, let's have a bowl of braised noodles with shredded chicken and add another piece of noodles." Liu Xin skillfully ordered a bowl of braised noodles. Because he had been hungry for a long time, he didn't eat very much in the morning, so Liu Xin added an extra piece of noodles.

Although it was already past 1 o'clock, there were many people eating at the noodle restaurant. There is no other reason, the quantity, the taste, and the low price are the reasons that attract customers.

This braised noodle restaurant is called Qiaotou Braised Noodles, and when he saw the name of the braised noodle restaurant, Liu Xin thought of the Nanmen Internet Café and Qiaotou Communication that he had been to in college. Anyway, I don't feel like the name is creative. When he was in high school, Liu Xin once had a meal with his classmate Xiao Lu, of course, Xiao Lu was a treat. Xiao Lu is not a nickname, his name is Xiao Lu. At that time, Liu Xin was very poor and couldn't afford to eat braised noodles at all. The living expenses provided by the family can only be eaten in the school cafeteria, or the kind of meal that does not eat vegetables.

I have forgotten why Xiao Lu invited Liu Xin to dinner. Two people came to Qiaotou to stew noodles, and one asked for a bowl of braised noodles. The stewed noodles are to be eaten with vinegar to be fragrant, and the two of them finished the braised noodles and ate all the bottles of vinegar on the table. I don't know why, but the vinegar in the braised noodle restaurant is not sour. At that time, the boss also jokingly said that he had lost money, and the money he earned from the braised noodles was not worth the money of vinegar.

There is a large cauldron in the noodle restaurant, which is boiled with bone broth and the fire is always on. The soup in the pot is milky and milky, of course, it is not mixed with additives, but the bones have been boiled for a long time and naturally turn white.

When someone asks for noodles, the chef scoops the soup out of the large pot and puts it in a small pot to boil. The chef then tears open and stretches the prepared noodles and cooks them in a small pot with the side dishes. Finally, put it in a large bowl, sprinkle with shredded chicken, and a bowl of delicious braised noodles is ready. Of course, although it is called braised noodles, in fact, the noodles are only to fill the stomach, and the soup is the soul of the braised noodles.

"Your stewed noodles are ready, this is vinegar, you pour less, it's a little sour." The waiter brought Liu Xin's braised noodles, a big bowl full of them.

"You're persuading me to be less jealous again, for fear that I will make less money." Liu Xin thought about it and went directly to a lot of vinegar, "Let's see if it's sour first, and then add it later." ”

"Ouch, why is it so sour." Liu Xin tasted the soup and immediately grinned sourly. "Is the vinegar sour, or I can't eat sour. Empiricism kills people. ”

"Boss, why did your vinegar turn sour." Liu Xin called the boss.

The waiter hurriedly came over and said, "Our vinegar has always been very sour, and I have been like this for two years." ”

"Oh, that's not your fault, I ate the braised noodles here three years ago." Listening to what the waiter said, Liu Xin couldn't say anything.

"Otherwise, you pour out a little of the soup in your bowl, I'm adding the original soup for you." The waiter suggested.

Under the operation of the waiter, Liu Xin's stewed noodles tasted a little poor, and the soup was still very sour, but it was barely acceptable. In the end, Liu Xin still ate all the noodles and drank all the soup, there was no way, he added the vinegar himself, and he had to finish it with his teeth.

The north end of the central road of the county is still relatively prosperous, and there are several large shopping malls. In the past, when I was in high school, in the summer, there were no classes on Saturday afternoons, and Liu Xin liked to go to these shopping malls. It's not about shopping, it's about rubbing the air conditioner and watching free TV. At that time, I went to watch TV, rubbed the air conditioner, and didn't watch anything sold in the mall.

"There should be a lot of things sold in the mall, let's go over and take a look, maybe you can pick a suitable gift for Li Xinya." Liu Xin is out of the braised noodle restaurant, and the mall is diagonally opposite.

Walking to the mall, a huge billboard stands at the door. "Why did you read the advertisement for Daifuku Jewelry again. Also this wave of bull market is everywhere. Liu Xin saw the same billboard at the door as the school saw, a star wearing a ring, with a narration next to it: Daifuku jewelry, for her favorite.

"I love her the most again, the man is so pitiful." Liu Xin said with emotion, "Look at the mall, there is no suitable thing, if you really can't find it, give Li Xinya a gold ring." Although it's a bit vulgar, it's a good woman who likes it. Besides, I was going to send it before. When a woman is happy, everything is easy to do. The moment he walked into the mall, Liu Xin secretly thought about it.

On the left-hand side of the mall are clothes sellers, dazzling. On the right-hand side is a seller of gold jewelry, and his eyes are glazed. Clothes must not be given to Li Xinya as gifts, and the clothes in the big city should be better than those in this county. "Forget it, let's buy a ring, save trouble." After walking around here for a while, Liu Xin was dizzy, "Shopping is definitely not something that men should do." Liu Xin said with emotion.

Now that it was decided, Liu Xin went straight to the counter of Daifuku Jewelry.

Liu Xin walked around the counter, and the furnishings in the jewelry counter were mainly rings, necklaces, and pendants, and the material was mainly gold.

"Sir, what jewelry do you need, I'll introduce it to you." The salesman greeted him warmly.

"If you want to see a ring and give it away, tell me about it." Liu Xin pointed to the ring area and said.

"At what age? I'll help you choose one. ”

"My girlfriend, 20 years old." Liu Xin thought about it.

"Sir, look at this, it's more elegant, and the shape is more cute and lively." The salesman took out a thin gold ring, which was made of two gold sticks entwined together and had the shape of a flower on it.

Liu Xin took the ring and looked at it, the ring is relatively thin, suitable for young girls to wear. As for the shape, Liu Xin didn't feel anything. Originally, Liu Xin was basically not very interested in gold jewelry, and if it wasn't for buying gifts for Li Xinya, he wouldn't have come to the jewelry counter. Women who like jewelry are generally women, and women generally have no immunity to yellow and white valuables.

"Looks like it's okay." Liu Xin didn't care about this, "How to sell it?" ”

"Sir, gold jewelry is sold on grams, and now it is 112 yuan a gram." The salesman said, pointing to a sign at the counter. The sign is written in red typing: Today's gold price is 112 yuan a gram. Then the salesman took the calculator and calculated it, and said to Liu Xin: "This ring weighs 3.5 grams and costs 392 yuan in total." ”

"112 yuan a gram, it's okay. In my dream that day, after 20 years, gold had risen to more than 400 yuan a gram, and I would make a fortune if I bought a bunch of gold. As soon as he heard that the business said the price of gold, Liu Xin thought of a thing.

But even if it can really rise to that price, Liu Xin won't buy a lot. Because there is not so much money, besides, gold is easy to buy and not to sell. Even if you buy it, it's a problem, and you're afraid of being stolen at home. With it on my body, I was afraid that I would be robbed, I was too tired.

"Okay, that's it."

"Sir, what is your girlfriend's finger circumference, I'll help you adjust it."

"Finger circumference?" Liu Xin looked around, "There is." ”
