Chapter 385
"Yes! When I was in Chou Country before, I only felt truly at ease when I returned to Chinatown." Li Xiaolong agreed with a smile.
"Stop the car! Come down for a walk and experience the Chinatown fireworks." Li Wen said to the driver.
Li Wen is also very interested in the life of Chinese people abroad and wants to go and have a look.
After getting off the car, there were shops with signboards and vendors setting up stalls next to each other on the roadside, which was very lively.
If it weren't for the hordes of ghost tourists on the roadside, Li Wen would have thought it was a town rally back in the 1990s.
Li Wen walked all the way, hoping to find a restaurant with Qin province taste.
Recently, when Li Wen came to Chou Country, he ate Western food three times a day. He had a belly full of butter. Li Wen had enough.
If Li Wen hadn't been able to go back to the small world to feed himself at night, Li Wen would have collapsed.
However, after walking for nearly two miles, there was no local delicacies that Li Wen was looking for. Most of them were restaurants in the southern Guangdong Province, which made Li Wen a little discouraged.
However, Li Wen could understand after thinking about it. Most of these Chinese people now are the descendants of laborers and gold diggers who were sold to the ugly country by the barbarians. Most of these people are from coastal areas.
In this era, the Celestial Empire had not yet opened up, and people from the northwest inland were really rare in Chou Country.
"Boss, look, there is a Lengwa noodle shop in front of you. Are the two big characters in front of the shop sign the Qin Province Lengwa you told me about?" A Le, who was walking in front, shouted with sharp eyes.
Li Wen's eyes lit up when he heard the word "Lengwa". He felt familiar with this word! No one in the group understood the word "Lengwa" better than him.
Li Wen quickly looked in the direction of A Le's finger, and saw that it was Leng Wa Noodle House.
"Ha ha!"
"Anyone who can write these words is definitely a pure fellow of mine. Let's go, I will take you to eat noodles." Li Wen waved his hand and walked towards the noodle shop first.
"Boss, what do you want?" Li Wenyou entered the store without looking at the order and asked directly in English.
"It's just a joke that you are wearing eye sockets. You don't know what time it is, and you come to disturb people's peace." The fat middle-aged man who was looking at the three o'clock beauty magazine at the checkout scolded without even raising his head.
.
After the fat middle-aged man finished cursing, he put down the magazine without blushing and his heart stopped beating. He stood up slowly and prepared to receive Li Wen.
"This old boy must often curse people in Qin Province dialect. If Li Wen hadn't been a native of Qin Province, he would have been fooled by his curse words today." Li Wen complained in his heart.
"Sir, what kind of noodles do you want to eat? There are more than ten kinds of noodles in our store. Here is the menu. You can take a look at the illustrations on it." The middle-aged man pointed to the picture on the wall.
"You don't need to look at the menu. Xiangdang, just bring me a big bowl of noodles, eggs, meat sauce, and more spicy food." Li Wen smiled and said directly in the local dialect of Qin Province.
"ah!"
"Are you, are you from Qin Province?" The middle-aged man's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
"Yes, I saw the word "silly boy" at the door was very friendly. Come in and take a look and taste the craftsmanship from my hometown. I didn't expect that when you receive people, you have a hometown flavor!" Li Wen said teasingly.
"Hehe! I thought you were a banana peel person and couldn't understand. But now I'm in trouble. I actually met a fellow countryman.
Little brother, I'm so sorry! I'll make noodles for you right now." The shop owner scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Uncle, it's okay. We are all from the Qin Province Township Party. There is no need to be polite in this unfamiliar place." Li Wen smiled and walked down the stairs to the boss.
"Okay, I'm being hypocritical. By the way, fellow, if you want trousers and face, what do these people with you want?" The boss asked, looking at the dozen or so people who came in with Li Wen.
"Let's all come to Pantai Noodles! It's convenient. But they use less spicy food. Let them add more if needed." Li Wen didn't ask anyone and made a decision directly.
"Okay, you guys sit down for a moment and we'll be ready soon.
Mom, please come down and pour the noodle soup. We have a distinguished guest in the store today, a member of the hometown party." The fat boss shouted upstairs as he walked into the kitchen.
"What? I'll come down right now." After a while, a fat aunt in her forties came down the stairs.
After the fat aunt came downstairs, she first looked at the people on the seats, then quickly picked up a stack of bowls from the cupboard and started placing them on the table.
After setting the bowls, the fat lady quickly carried the iron kettle on the table and poured noodle soup for everyone.
After finishing her work, the fat aunt looked at Li Wen and Li Xiaolong, who were sitting at the same table, and asked, "Are you all fellow countrymen from Qin Province?"
"Aunt, I am the only one from Qin Province, and they are all my friends." Li Wen said hello with a smile.
"Our young man from Qin Province is Jun, baby. Are you from out of town? I know all the people from Qin Province in Chinatown, so why haven't I seen you?" the fat aunt asked enthusiastically.
"I'm from China, and this time I came to Chou Country for business. I just arrived in Los Angeles' Chinatown today, and when I saw the name of this noodle shop, I felt very friendly, so I quickly came in to try the Xiangdang's craftsmanship." Li Wen explained.
"Baby, are you from my hometown?" The fat aunt's voice rose a few degrees.
The fat aunt was so excited when she heard that Li Wen was from China! She sat down and grabbed Li Wen's arm and started asking about the situation in her hometown.
One of the three great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. Although Li Wen is not an old friend, he is still a dear fellow villager.
In this era of limited information, how could the two fat aunts not be excited when they suddenly met fellow villagers from their hometown in Ugly Country, thousands of miles away. To put it bluntly, even if Li Wen scolded them a few words, they would still find it pleasant.
During the conversation, Li Wen learned that the Fat Aunt and his wife's hometown was also in the Qinzhong area, only a few dozen kilometers away from Li Wen's home, in Xiqi City next door.
The two of them had a hard life. Four or five years after Xiaoli was defeated, the fat uncle offended Bai Gouzi, so he took his new daughter-in-law, the fat aunt, to the magic city to seek refuge with his relatives.
As expected, their relatives coaxed them to go to Chou Country to pan for gold. After arriving in Chou Country, the Fat Aunt and his wife discovered that gold mining was full of dangers, and that the era of barbaric gold mining in Chou Country had long passed.
At that time, the ugly country introduced a new gold mining bill, and the cost of gold mining was very high, and all their valuable belongings had bought ship tickets and could not go back.
After the couple struggled in the ugly country for many years, the fat uncle relied on his family's noodle-making skills to buy this shop in Chinatown, Los Angeles, which also gave the family a place to stay.
The international situation has been turbulent in recent years, and the couple has not returned to their hometown because they had a child, but their homesickness can be seen from the house number.
In the past two years, the children have grown up one after another, and the old couple are both in their fifties. People miss home at an early age, so the fat uncle is not very active in work. This is the scene where Li Weng just came in and cursed.
"Aunt Zhao, you are not yet fifty years old, you are still young! I think the situation in the country is only a few years ago. Then you can go home to visit relatives." Li Wen said with relief.
"Really? I will go back and take a look as soon as possible. I don't know if my mother is still there." The fat aunt looked excited.
"You talk a lot, come in quickly and serve the noodles and let the kids eat the noodles. They'll get lumpy after a while and they won't be able to eat anymore!" At this time, the fat uncle's voice came from the kitchen.
After a while, the fragrant and fragrant oil poured on the noodles. Li Wen looked at the noodles in the small iron basin and drooled with greed. He was not talking nonsense, just one word, chat!
"Suck!"
