Ai Weiyang in April

Chapter 29

Top notch goodies that must not have been eaten, tucked away in a busy crooked lane.As soon as the wide avenue turned around, there was a sudden bustle of people, both sides of the road were full of lively shops, the steamer was emitting steam, and the cauldron where the glutinous rice balls were placed was filled with white mist. The sweet aroma of sugar-fried chestnuts, the freshness of skewered beef and mutton, and the delicious smell of various unknown foods, all burst into the nostrils, and people riding bicycles on both sides of the vehicle rubbed their shoulders. , Turning a blind eye to the car, most of the time almost brushing past the car body, probably never seen such a battle, Kong Yiren was stunned for a moment, the speed of the car was steep and slow.

Seeing him a little surprised for the first time, Jingyan couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Kong, it's just ahead, can you stop by the side of the road?"

"Are you there?" He looked out the window.There is a long row of cars parked on the side of the road, and there are many rare and good cars among them.Looking past the car bodies, there are long queues in the most crowded places, middle-aged and elderly people in casual clothes, holding various pots in their hands; white-collar workers who just came from the office building, dressed in decent work clothes, waiting for a long time A little impatient; boys and girls in school clothes chattered in the queue as if no one else was there; there were also some well-dressed men and women who lined up patiently in the middle of the queue, nodding and smiling with their companions waiting in the car from time to time, the scene was spectacular.Seeing such a complex queuing combination for the first time, Kong Yiren was unexpected and couldn't help but ask, "What are they waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for the top-notch food that you must have never eaten before, wait a minute." Jing Yan stretched out her hand to push the door.

"The car hasn't stopped yet, don't worry," he stopped her, "will it take a long time?"

"No, I called Uncle Wu just now, and he has reserved our reservations in advance. Otherwise, when will we wait for such a shop?"

It turned out that the phone call she just made in an alien language was to the boss here, "Do you know the boss here?"

"Well, Uncle Wu is an old friend of my father's. I used to eat here with my father when I was young." She got out of the car in a hurry.

"Let's go together after I park the car." Kong Yiren stopped her again.

"It's small, simple, and a bit messy inside," Jingyan explained, "Mr. Kong must not be used to it, I'll get it and we'll eat it in the car."

Without answering, he skillfully parked the car close to the side of the road, then turned his face and smiled, "Really? I suddenly want to see it, is it possible?"

Small, simple, and a bit messy - such a description is really a compliment to this small, surprisingly small shop.The boss is a black and fat middle-aged man. When he saw Jingyan, his face was already full of joy, and when he saw Kong Yiren beside her, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. Wu here, I thought you forgot me."

"How come, no matter what, it is impossible to forget Uncle Wu's pan-fried buns. I've been thinking about it in my dreams." Jing Yan replied with a smile, and then extended her hand to introduce, "This is my friend, Mr. Kong."

"Hello." Kong Yiren shook hands with him with a smile. Although Lao Wu only opened a small food shop, it is a time-honored restaurant highly respected by Shanghai's top gourmets. When we met each other on the first day of junior high school, we knew that Kong Yiren was by no means ordinary. While shaking hands, his eyes had already glanced at Jingyan, and his eyes were full of praiseful smiles.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Jingyan spoke again, "There's nowhere to sit."

"Hehe, Xiao Jing is here, why is there no place to sit?" Laughing loudly, then Lao Wu took out a table and found an empty seat in the corner to put it down, "Come and sit, I will ask your aunt to make two tables for you." Two servings, served with fried rice."

"That's great!" Jing Yan's eyes suddenly sparkled, making Old Wu laugh again.

The dark iron plate is held by iron tongs and rotated on the strong fire. The wooden cover has been soaked in oil and water all year round, revealing a shiny oil.Suddenly opened it, only to see the snow-white round frying one by one, sizzling in the bright yellow oil water, Lao Wu gestured skillfully, and the emerald green onion and black sesame were evenly covered, and the store immediately Everyone could not help but twitch their noses, showing a happy and dreamy expression.

"Come on!" The same chubby aunt of the Wu family came over with two plates with a smile on her face, and then carefully brought over two large bowls. The gluten, beautiful color, and tangy aroma, make people's index fingers twitch before eating.

"Thank you, Aunt Wu," Jingyan said, already holding a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

Looking back and forth at Jingyan and Kong Yiren who were sitting at the table, the Wu family aunt showed the same satisfied expression as her husband, and only urged, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

It's been a long time since I've eaten this lingering delicacy in the world, and Jing Yan didn't wait for her to urge her to put down her chopsticks.Suddenly thinking of Kong Yiren next to him, he raised his head, only to see him smiling and looking at himself, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes were fine and stretched, infinitely soft.

Surrounded by such gentle and doting eyes, Jing Yan was unable to hold on for a while, and almost dropped the spoon in her hand.Forced to calm down, she forced herself to speak, "What are you looking at? Eat quickly."

"Don't worry, I will definitely taste the top-notch good food that I have never eaten before." He replied bluntly, with the corners of his eyes curled up, and he smiled heartily.
