It is always rainy in early spring in the Magic City, and once it starts raining, it always rains non-stop.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Yoko dressed in a decent formal suit and left the house in a hurry.

Her identity is an ordinary reporter at Shanghai TV Station. Since it was her turn to work the morning shift today, she went out so early.

Maybe she didn't have a good rest last night. She stood under the eaves and froze for a long time. It wasn't until she yawned regardless of her appearance that she seemed to wake up completely. She held an umbrella and walked into this quiet rainy alley.

.

For Yoko, wandering in this long alley is the most pleasant time of her day.

Although the Magic City is known as an international metropolis, the bustling and bustling city seems to have nothing to do with this ancient alley hidden in the reinforced concrete jungle.

Yoko likes peace and quiet, so she chose to live here instead of a home closer to her work, regardless of the long commute.

For this reason, she suffered a lot of complaints from her mother.

Obviously it is more comfortable to live at home, and everything is taken care of, but you still choose to spend money to make trouble... For parents, who cannot see with their own eyes how their children are doing, they will always acquiesce and make up for what they have done.

not good.

But in the end they couldn't defeat the stubborn Yoko, and after several compromises, they had no choice but to let her go...

At this time, Yoko was walking slowly in this long alley.

Even after the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the times, this alley has always been so quiet and peaceful. Perhaps because it was still early in the day, there were not many pedestrians on the road.

The rustling sound of rain pounded on the umbrella cover, making a crackling sound. The gauze-like rain curtain shrouded everything in front of me, making everything in front of me seem so fresh, natural, harmonious and lovely...

Yoko tiptoed, carefully avoiding the potholes that appeared from time to time on the road, and slowly walked out of the alley.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her steps couldn't help but become a little faster.

At the end of the alley, an old trolley is parked there quietly. From time to time, the trolley exudes dense heat. When it touches the cold rain, it evaporates endless mist, enveloping everything into a haze.

.

"Boss, here are two scallion pancakes, the same as before!"

Roadside stalls are the most awe-inspiring, and for breakfast, Yoko is particularly fond of the Old Magic City Scallion Pancake.

"Okay!" The boss responded with a smile, but his hands couldn't stop working.

First roll the dough into a long shape with a rolling pin, and then spread it with a layer of pastry - this is made of flour and lard mixed according to a certain proportion. If you want the scallion pancake to be delicious, this step is indispensable. Then roll it out

Wrap the open bread with lard and sprinkle with a lot of chopped green onion. The flavor will come out in no time!

Of course, baking is indispensable. First, roll the prepared dough in clean oil several times, fry until both sides are golden brown, then put it in the oven to bake slowly, and when it comes out of the oven,

According to preference, you can also sprinkle a little white sesame seeds... The mixing of various aromas is an art. Therefore, before baking, the entire alley is always filled with a strong aroma of green onions, which makes people salivate.

Of course, the last thing you want is to eat it while it’s hot!

That's why Yoko especially likes working the morning shift, because she can always taste freshly baked scallion pancakes as soon as possible. This is a kind of small assurance that she can feel in her busy work life.

She knew that if she had to step over this cart, she would step into another world.

At the other end of the alley is the rolling torrent of this city. Even if she is a native of Magic City, she will inevitably be pushed by the tide of this era and keep moving forward...

At this time, the pleasant time of standing quietly on the side of the road, savoring the scallion pancakes, was also the most enjoyable moment of her day.

Of course, I have to mention that there is another identity of Yoko - a contracted writer for Chicheng Chinese Network, and her pen name is also similar to her name, called Yang Lazi.

Chili pepper is a pest, and many people may still have memories of being stung by it as children.

But I have to say that as a kind of bug, Yang La Zi is quite good-looking, just like Yoko. Therefore, the avatar of Yoko’s WeChat and a series of social software are all a green bug, and her ID is the same as her pen name.

, all called foreign spicy food.

The title "contracted writer" may sound powerful, but in fact, if you have to go back in time, Yoko's book writing career has only lasted only a week since the beginning.

Just one day a week ago, out of boredom, she suddenly had a whim and tried to write a novel. Unexpectedly, she was successfully signed by an editor called Chicheng Fries. This is how she started her career as a contracted author.

She was very excited at first.

Writing has always been a dream of hers. Unlike Brother Yi and other writers, she has never pointed out that she will make a million a year or even achieve financial freedom by writing books, because her current job has already

It was good enough, and her family conditions were not bad. All she wanted was to write out what was on her mind so that more people could see it.

From this point of view, she is somewhat similar to Mr. Panda (it’s been so long since I last appeared, sooooo...).

Overall, this can at best be regarded as an insignificant stone dropped in her peaceful life, and the ripples caused will not even have much impact on her life.

She still goes to and from get off work on time every day and tries to avoid useless social interactions. For her, writing novels is just a distraction from a peaceful life. It is probably because the time originally used to watch TV dramas has been turned into writing.

Let her life begin to become more and more peaceful.

She also quite enjoys her current life, except for the unavoidable pressure from the elders in the family to get married.

Although she is still in her prime at the age of 28, in this fast-paced world, she is still inevitably labeled as a "leftover girl" by some old-fashioned people.

This is probably one of the malicious intentions towards women in this society.

Walking out of the alley, everything seemed to have entered a whole new world, especially the suddenly accelerated pace, which caught people off guard.

And Yoko has already adapted to this sudden rhythm switch. She walks quickly through the crowd, squeezes into the crowded subway with an enchanting figure... all of this is what she wears on her way to work.

Developed essential life skills for social animals.

This is also the thing that gives her the most headache every day - commuting. Even though she wakes up early enough, by the time she gets to her work, there is not much time left before she goes to work.

The good thing is that there are no other work arrangements for today, so she can fish in the workplace with peace of mind, as long as there is no breaking news.

The morning passed quickly. Suddenly, someone sent a message to her QQ list. She clicked on it and saw a pure white spherical avatar flashing there.

Yoko was a little curious. Isn't this the editor? Is there something wrong with sending a message now?
