Chapter 202 The Small Broken Shop in the Alley Part One
The reason why the Magic City is called the Magic City is that it indeed has its own unique "devil" nature.
Due to the sudden extreme weather, the plane circled for more than 20 minutes before barely landing in the wind and rain. Huang Nuan was in shock, patted her chest and hung it on Yu Jian, so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe: "It's too scary.
It’s terrible.” I thought I was going to confess here.
Yu Jian and Chen Xinyi also turned pale at this moment, but their expressions were still calm. They both comforted her: "This is not an safe landing. You have to have confidence in our uncle pilot."
Just then, a fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged stewardess walked by, helped them unload their luggage, and said with a smile: "Our captain is not much older than you, at best he can only be called 'brother'~"
Huang Nuan instantly felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He raised his face from Yu Jian's shoulder and asked, "Are you handsome?"
Chen Xinyi and Yu Jian looked at each other, and at the same time stretched out their hands to hold her face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there's something wrong with her brain."
Is this how normal people react?
Moreover, just now she was immersed in the dilemma between life and death, and her attitude changed too quickly this time!
The stewardess smiled and said, "Your friends are quite cute."
The Magic City and the Capital are different, although they are both the economic and cultural center of China. The Capital is like a simple wise man, while the Magic City is like an escaped girl. Each has its own characteristics, each has its own
good.
Originally, the organizing committee of the competition had booked hotels for the contestants, but due to two reasons, Yu Jian decided to solve the accommodation problem on her own after discussing with the organizing committee. The location was chosen by Huang Nuan, away from the central subway entrance.
Only a few dozen meters away.
In her words: It’s convenient to go anywhere.
Yu Jian compared the distance on the map. It was very close to the competition place, so she just did whatever she wanted.
"Xiao Nuan, I transferred the money to you." Yu Jian pulled her and motioned her to look at her phone. She had always heard that the consumption level in Magic City was high.
Huang Nuan waved her hands carelessly: "It's just this little money, no need, no need." She had hidden a lot of personal money, so she could still afford the small accommodation fee.
"But..." Yu Jian wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Chen Xinyi. The pigtailed classmate still looked serious, but there was something treacherous in his eyes, and he came up to her and whispered a few words.
Yu Jian's eyes widened in an instant, and her mouth opened in disbelief: "Really or not?"
Chen Xinyi nodded firmly and said quietly: "Wait a while and blackmail her."
The little money Huang Nuan had hidden had been seen by her a long time ago. This girl never locked her phone. One time, a message came over. She accidentally glanced at it. It was bank account information. Good guy,
She has almost caught up with her living expenses for several months. When she took a closer look, she saw that it was the royalties she had received. It seemed that she had been underestimated, and she was not just writing casually for fun.
Huang Nuan didn't know that she had been "missed" by her best friend for a long time. At this moment, she was frowning and studying the tourist map she just bought. She circled several big red circles and said excitedly to the two of them: "We will go to the Bund later.
chant?"
The three of them finally squeezed out of the crowded night scene, gasping for air from exhaustion. Huang Nuan took off his coat, imitated Rhubarb and stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat. He was shocked: "This crowd is almost catching up with the plane and circling around. I'm really scared."
.”
Yu Jian also found it funny: "Maybe it's the holidays soon, and all the tourists here want to join in the fun just like you."
The three of them discussed it and decided to go back to the hotel and rest.
…
Yu Jian looked at the time and saw that it was not too late. She was about to go out to find something to eat. As soon as she opened the door, she ran into two other people who were also stepping out of the door.
She locked the door silently, sighed, and asked, "Who said you are too tired and don't want to move?"
After a pause, he said: "Who said that if you are bored, you might as well sleep?"
Huang Nuan's face turned red and she rubbed the soles of her shoes. Chen Xinyi, on the other hand, didn't change her expression and her heart didn't beat. She covered her stomach and said, "I'm too hungry and can't sleep."
Now, even Yu Jian couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
The hotel is located in the downtown area, with the towering CBD building on one side and the dilapidated small bungalows of the Republic of China on the other side. In this winding alley, there are many small shops with only a light sign, which are not exquisite.
The decoration is not very impressive, and there are no handsome waiters. The appearance is unremarkable, but it smells like fireworks.
The three of them casually opened the door of a store and were instantly warmed by the heat inside.
An aunt asked in Mandarin with a Shanghai accent: "What are you eating?" The ending sound was a soft and waxy sound, which sounded so good that it instantly made people melt.
Yu Jian and others ordered their meals and were arranged to their seats. They had already ordered dinner and it was not midnight yet. There were not many people in the store. The boss was probably a local. He was chatting with the aunt just now in Shanghai dialect.
.
Yu Jian listened to a few words with her ears raised, but didn't understand them. Jiangnan dialect has its own timbre and tone, soft and long, as if singing. The aunt seemed to notice the embarrassment of several little girls, and came over to chat with them: "
Isn’t it difficult to understand the Modu dialect? The person inside is my husband."
Huang Nuan glanced at the boss, smiled and said hello, and then asked: "Auntie, how long has your store been open?"
The aunt thought for a while and said, "It must have been forty years. This store was opened by my father-in-law, and later my husband took it over. I didn't want to do it anymore, but there are many old customers who have been eating our wontons.
I was a little reluctant, so I kept driving. But..." Auntie sighed.
"But what?" Yu Jian was curious.
There was some melancholy and loss in the aunt's eyes, and she forced a smile: "The government's land acquisition notice came a few days ago. This house will be demolished soon. I don't know if there will be a chance to open the shop again~
"
As I get older, I also want to retire and enjoy a happy life, but when I think of the customers who come at fixed times every day, the boss and his wife are a little reluctant to give up.
Yu Jian also fell silent, a little at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her aunt. She could understand this feeling, but she didn't know where to start.
After a while, the hot wontons arrived. In a large white porcelain bowl, eight wontons lay quietly in it, with a thick circle of spicy meat toppings poured on it, filled with a heart-warming aroma.
The aunt brought them a saucer of vinegar and wisely returned it to the radio room, letting them taste it slowly.
The portion of the wontons is very generous. Through the translucent skin, the plump meat core is revealed. Yu Jian took a gentle bite. The seasoning is moderately fresh and salty. The shepherd's purse and minced meat are chopped finely and evenly. The taste is really great.
.
The topping is large pieces of minced meat, with a bright red color. It smells tangy and spicy, but when you eat it, there is a hint of sweetness from the sauce. This taste is different from the food in Beijing.
Probably because Jiangnan tastes so sweet.
Chen Xinyi didn't have a heavy appetite at night and just wanted to fill her stomach, so she ordered small wontons. The soup was mixed with lard, seaweed, egg skin, and shrimp. Because she likes spicy food, she sprinkled a little chili powder, passed a spoon through the middle, and scooped out the small wontons.
At the same time, shrimp skin and seaweed were brought. The wonton skin was crystal clear, elegant and soft like gossamer. It melted in your mouth as soon as you took a sip. The pork filling was very delicious, and it bounced slightly when you bit it.
Huang Nuan, a big eater, was naturally the same as Yu Jian. He ordered big wontons, one bite at a time. Sweating broke out from his forehead as he ate them. He didn't forget to ask: "Jian, can you finish eating? If you can't finish, give me two more."
…”
Yu Jian removed the bowl and firmly refused her: "I can finish it."
These large wontons have solid, compact and plump fillings. Fortunately, the wonton wrappers are made with alkaline water. The taste is indeed extraordinary...
