Chapter 5 The Smell of Wheat

The train takes three days and three nights.

But when it came time to eat, the summer solstice was a little awkward.

Others have to carry dry biscuits or nests in their pockets.

There are good living conditions, and even eggs, biscuits and so on.

She had nothing in her pocket.

I don't even want to drink hot water.

I didn't see the people around her, and her eyes were clearly disdainful.

They've seen the poor, but they've never seen anything so poor.

If you show off your wealth in these years, you will die, but if you are too poor, you will not be able to raise your head.

Xia Zhi didn't have time to prepare last night, and the time was too tight.

When it got dark, seeing that someone started to take out the flatbread rolls and green onions, Xia Zhi decided to avoid it.

It is estimated that I will be able to get to a big station in two hours, and I hope that when I get to the station, I can meet someone who is brave enough to do small business and let me buy something to eat.

Today, these stations are all small stations, and there is not enough time to stop, and there are no people on the train to sell things.

The summer solstice was hungry for a whole day.

I didn't eat enough last night, and I'm really a little dizzy now.

Xia Zhi wanted to drink some water to fill his stomach, and he didn't even have a tea jar.

I kind of blame myself for being in a hurry this time and not being prepared enough.

The main thing is that time is too short.

It's good to be able to run out, and if you accidentally see the clues by the Gu family, it's amazing.

Summer Solstice hid at the door of the train.

This place has to get off the train back and forth, so basically no one sits here, and even if you sit here, you will be chased away by the conductor.

Xia Zhi just walked up to him and found that there were already people in this place.

But it seems a little rude to turn around and leave after you have already walked in.

Especially since the other party is a person in uniform.

Clothing of this quality looks like a special unit.

Certainly not going to be a bad guy.

This man must be hiding here and smoking.

Realizing that the summer solstice appeared, he hurriedly threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and crushed it with his foot.

Gu Nian stood aside and stared at the roadside scenery outside the window, which was gradually darkening, although she tried hard to keep her eyes out of the car window.

But his eyes still involuntarily fell on the aluminum lunch box that the man was holding beside him.

The lid of the lunch box has been opened, and there are two white and chubby steamed buns inside.

Although it is simple, and there is not even a little side dish, the summer solstice nose can smell the flour smell of pure wheat steamed buns.

After a day of hunger, I saw steamed buns at this time, and this is a big white steamed bun.

Zhou Zhengan looked at the girl next to him, his head facing the car window.

From the back, the girl was looking at the scenery outside the car window, but he was not blind.

On the window glass, the girl's eyes stared directly at the steamed buns in her lunch box through the window glass.

Suspicious liquid ran down the corners of his mouth.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at the steamed bun and smiled bitterly, it has been tasteless to eat everything since he was born.

He has no sense of taste.

Sweet, sour, bitter and salty are all a taste in his mouth, so he never has any expectations or longings for food.

Even if this steamed bun is eaten in your stomach, it only supplies all the nutritional functions of your body, in fact, one is enough.

Let's let this steamed bun help those who can help.

Zhou Zhengan handed over the lunch box.

"Girl, aren't she? Let's eat a steamed bun, don't worry, I'm a good person. ”

Xia Solstice turned his head suddenly, his eyes shining, as if a hungry wolf had seen fat.

There's no way, there are good people these days, but there aren't many people who are so kind as to give their big white steamed buns to others.

Xia Zhi felt that his expression was a little obscene and embarrassed.

swallowed his saliva, and then realized that saliva was actually flowing from the corners of his mouth.

wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve a little disguised, it's not that she doesn't like to be clean, and she can't find a handkerchief on her body.

"Thank you, comrade, I'm not hungry."

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum!"

The thunderous gut-like screams debunked the lie of the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi's face suddenly looked like a red cloth.

pressed his hand on his stomach, almost didn't wail, and almost caught up with the scene of social death.

Zhou Zhengan showed a playful smile and handed the lunch box forward.

"Comrade knows you're hungry, eat, it's okay."

Seeing that Xia Zhi was still a little hesitant, he stuffed the lunch box directly into Xia Zhi's hand.

"Eat, you're welcome, serving the people is what you should do."

The corners of Xia Zhi's mouth twitched, not to mention, the people who wore uniforms these years have such a noble belief.

She really couldn't eat other people's things for nothing, so she hesitated, but thinking that she hadn't eaten for a day, she couldn't really starve to the border.

"My name is Xia Zhi, comrade, what's your name?"

Zhou Zhengan didn't look at the big square in front of him at all, because the embarrassing scene he had just now seemed a little embarrassed and inferior.

"My name is Zhou Zheng'an."

"I'm going to the frontier to support construction, I ate your steamed buns today, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Xia Zhi took a steamed bun and broke it in half, and then stuffed the lunch box back into Zhou Zhengan's arms.

At this time, food is a precious thing, and others are reluctant to give others a mouthful, not to mention that Zhou Zheng'an is a white-flour steamed bun.

A big man's ration is only two steamed buns, and he can't be so blind, and it is not suitable to eat one steamed bun directly from others.

"Thank you, I'm in that carriage, don't worry, as long as I get to the place, I will definitely return it to you, I know what your name is."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Zhengan waved his hand, looked at the back of the girl who turned away, and couldn't help but smile.

Although it tasted tasteless, the girl must have tasted delicious.

Summer solstice!?

It's a nice name.

Thinking of the girl's drooling appearance, Zhou Zheng'an finally felt his hunger in his stomach.

Picked up the girl's remaining half of the steamed bun and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Zhou Zhengan suddenly raised his eyebrows.

What's going on?

He loses his sense of taste from the moment he is born, and no matter what he eats, he has no taste, and it is the same.

But today, he actually tasted this white-flour steamed bun.

A strong wheat aroma is sweet and delicious in the mouth.

At first, he thought he was hallucinating.

He took a big bite and stuffed all the steamed buns in his hand into his mouth.

The more he chewed, the more he felt that the fragrance was not an illusion, and really, he tasted the sweet and soft feeling.

The strong wheat aroma, after fermentation and evaporation, produces a special fragrance.

It actually has a faint sweetness in the mouth.

Zhou Zhengan suddenly burst into tears, could it be that his illness was cured?

Impatiently, he swallowed half of the steamed bun, grabbed another steamed bun and put it in his mouth to eat.

That's right, his sense of taste returned!

Zhou Zhengan desperately ran back to the carriage.

I can't hold back my excitement.
