I'm in Delingha tonight

Chapter 13 Trouble Disappearing Magic

The yogurt is mellow, and the light yellow layer on the top tastes as smooth as cream.

Chi Nian used to be lactose intolerant and avoided eating dairy products. At this time, Xi Shan spoke fiercely and his expression was not gentle, but somehow he felt that he had been coaxed, so he opened his mouth and tasted it in a daze.The sweet and sour taste is mixed with a rich milky fragrance, which can really stop thinking about those unhappy things for a while.

"Did I look bad just now?" Chi Nian forced a smile.

Xi Shan gave himself the second bite: "Yeah, your little face is so black that it almost caught up with me. When the person serving the food sees you later, you'll think it's because I didn't treat you well."

Chi Nian was not in the mood to worry about it for the time being. He and Xi Shan used the same spoon by chance, pursed their lips and lowered their heads to eat yogurt again.After taking two or three mouthfuls, I calmed down and said, "It's nothing, I'm too hypocritical... I just checked the unread news and found that my parents really don't want to care about me at all."

"Maybe you are still angry, parents, you are always unwilling to admit that you are wrong."

Chi Nian struggled: "Not necessarily..."

Xi Shan asked leisurely: "So, have uncles and aunts apologized to you?"

Chi Nian laughed completely: "Not really."

"Then don't worry about it anymore, and adjust yourself well." When Xi Shan said this, he thought of him wholeheartedly. "Besides, when you grow up, you will be like that at home. Greet each other during the New Year and holidays. When you become independent , go back and prove to them that you are right, but it’s actually not as smooth as you imagined.”

The two sat close, and Chi Nian naturally touched Xi Shan with his knee under the table: "It sounds like you are very experienced, do you have a story, Brother Xi?"

Xi Shan bumped back bluntly: "My brother is teaching you the principles of life."

Chi Nian was still about to speak, but the door curtain suddenly opened from the outside, and then Chuancaisheng wearing a white hat came in, put down a tin pot heavily, and said in a tone of impatience due to busyness: "The outer wall is very hot, be careful not to touch it with your hands. , you ordered lamb chops in kang pot, what would you two like to drink?"

Chi Nian: "...Isn't it yogurt?"

"This is a snack."

"Then I want a Coke."

"There's no Coke or Sprite here." Xi Shan smiled, and turned to the waiter, "A bottle of beer, and a pot of jujube tea."

The waiter nodded slightly, and passed the message vigorously on the soles of his feet.Chi Nian looked at his furious back in admiration, the lid of the tin pot hadn't been lifted yet, and when he reached out to touch it, Xi Shan stopped him: "I'll do it."

"It won't burn me..." Chi Nian said, but withdrew his hand.

Xi Shan lifted the cover with a half-smile.

The moment the heat spread, Chi Nian almost instinctively began to salivate.

The bottom of the tin pot is flat and wide, not too deep. A large piece of mutton and lamb chops are stewed into a sauce color, bright red, with golden potato slices, wide noodles and onions, garnished with red peppers and green and white scallions. No matter how hungry I was, I was so hungry that I couldn't wait any longer.Chi Nian broke open the chopsticks, didn't even bother to say anything, and ate directly.

The potato chips are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the taste maintains the unique starchy texture of sand, which fills the mouth with fragrance and spiciness.Gourmets may have to describe several levels of taste, but aphasia such as Chi Nian, only one sentence:

"It's delicious!"

"Super, super delicious." Xi Shan said, sandwiching a lamb chop for him.

The mutton is pre-washed with white water, which greatly shortens the roasting time, and the tin pot retains the temperature of the fire to the greatest extent.The flesh and bones are almost separated, and they fall off with a light pull. The outer shell is crispy, and the inside is juicy and juicy. The mutton has no smell at all, and it is swallowed immediately, leaving only a bare bone lying on the table .

Chi Nian was so moved that tears streamed down his face, unable to speak, he gave Xi Shan a thumbs up.

Xi Shan was very happy, and pinched him again: "Then you eat more."

"It's so delicious..." Chi Nian shook his head, "My God, if I can eat this every day, I can live in Qinghai!"

"If you eat it every day, you must get tired of it soon."

Chi Nian glared at Xi Shan with bulging cheeks, expressing dissatisfaction.

At this time, other dishes began to be served. The naan coated with chili powder and sauce was cut into small pieces, the roasted lamb skewered with iron skewers was fat and thin, and there was a whole roasted lamb's foot and lamb tendon.The sheep intestines are stuffed with minced meat, cut into pieces and then grilled with oil, the strong meat fragrance overflows after one bite.

Chi Nian grew up in the north. He has been to the grassland countless times. He used to eat mutton. Now there is no unpleasant smell. He is like a mouse that fell into the granary. He only knows "this is delicious" from the beginning to the end. " and "That's delicious".

After eating the smoky barbecue, the mouth and tongue began to feel dry again.Have a cup of jujube tea with a little sweetness, and finally drink the salty and fresh barley porridge, which is full of plateau characteristics, and this meal is considered a temporary break.

It's nothing more than a big feast and a big mouthful of meat.

Xi Shan shaved the roasted sheep's feet slowly, feeding Chi Nian a mouthful from time to time.

Their sitting side by side made this movement very logical. At first, Chi Nian only knew to open his mouth when he was eating, but when he was seventy percent full and holding the porridge bowl, he realized something was wrong.

Xi Shan handed the chopsticks to his mouth again, and Chi Nian shrank back: "Ah... no, why don't you eat it by yourself?"

"It's not that I haven't eaten before." Xi Shan moved forward with his chopsticks.

His very calm attitude made Chi Nian feel that he was thinking too much again, so he opened his mouth and bit, the tendon of his hoof was broken into small pieces by Xi Shan, and his teeth were a little bit elastic.Chi Nian patted his belly contentedly—this action would be criticized by his mother as not elegant at home, but who cares now?

Xi Shan just smiled when he saw it.

"Are you in a better mood?" Xi Shan filled him up with jujube tea.

Chi Nian ate half of the leftover handmade yogurt: "Thank you, I sometimes feel embarrassed."

Xi Shan pretended to be fierce: "I didn't see your mouth soft when you were eating."

"Food is the paramount necessity of the people!" Chi Nian was proud.

Xi Shan angrily kicked his knee under the table, out of inertia, Chi Nian retracted it to the inside.But when he got to the original position again, Xi Shan's legs didn't retract, and the two knees touched together again.

The shorts he was wearing and Chi Nian's were also thin, with only a layer of denim separating them to transmit body heat.Chi Nian ate the yogurt slowly, and wanted to shrink back, but felt reluctant.

The happy time is like a fleeting moment, and it disappears before you get back to your senses.

They also seem to have entered the countdown stage.

"Hey, Xi Shan." Chi Nian called him, looking at the other party with bright eyes without avoiding, "Can you... leave a contact information? A mobile phone number or something."

Xi Shan didn't express anything in particular, but instead asked him, "Didn't you not use your mobile phone all this time?"

Chi Nian: "I'm going back to the modern society."

"Okay." Xi Shan put down his sheep's hooves, wiped his hands, took out his mobile phone and threw it to Chi Nian, "Dial the saved number again, and remember to give a note."

"Name?" Chi Nian asked.

Xi Shan continued to toss the goat's hooves without raising his head and said, "Let's hit 'Little Turtle'."

"...what the hell!"

After he finished speaking, he began to enter the number.Xi Shan's mobile phone is also an Apple phone, which is the same model as his own. It was released less than a year ago, barely considered a new model.About a while ago, Xi Shan added a dustproof plug and a transparent soft silicone phone case because he was afraid that the phone would be too rough and sand would get in it.

After dialing his own number and hanging up quickly, Chi Nian saved his contacts, and finally called "Little Turtle" as Xi Shan said.

Although I don't know why...

But it seems that it is quite special.

Returning to the main screen, Chi Nian saw that the background was a photo, and the combination of blue sky and white clouds always reminded people of the color tone of the Northwest.Maybe I took it myself, Chi Nian thought, after all, I'm half a photographer.

"Can I add WeChat?" Chi Nian pushed forward.

Xi Shan nodded, signaling for him to do it himself.

Chi Nian added Xi Shan's WeChat with a smirk in his heart, and when he thought of the beautiful girl Dongtai was chasing after Xi Shan to meet, he actually had a feeling of showing off his power and elated.

"This is too bad." Chi Nian thought, trying to control his expression not to be too embarrassing.

After eating a meal, the body and mind were refreshed, and when they walked out of the mutton shop, the sky had gradually darkened.It was always dark in the northwest, and when Xi Shan came out after paying the bill, Chi Nian was leaning against a tree and playing with his phone.

Taking advantage of Xi Shan's absence, he seized the time to study Moments.

When he was urged to post on Moments before, Chi Nian felt that it was okay not to post, but now he found out that the person he wanted to see was also a madman who did not post on Moments, so he realized that it was really uncomfortable.

The lonely status in Xi Shan's circle of friends was still at the beginning of July, with two words, "departure", accompanied by a dry landscape photo, which can be seen in half a year after it is finished... Chi Nian immediately understood those old suspicions that he was blocked by him friends.

Straight men, the avatars are not limited to the old three sets, selfie, two-dimensional paper man, and net red cat.Chi Nian thought that Xi Shan was no exception, and he was a handsome guy anyway, and he would probably choose to use his own photo—whether it was a selfie or a photo taken by him—but Xi Shan was ingenious and used a running dog.

Moreover, the shooting angle was very perfunctory, so perfunctory that it was impossible to tell whether he was shaking his hands on purpose or just pressing the shutter at random, and he couldn't even identify the breed of the dog.

All I know is white.

The dog was galloping like a deformed cloud, which reminded Chi Nian of the emoji packs that were popular on the Internet some time ago.

No difficult work, only brave dogs.

The brave dog walked towards him: "Who are you talking to, laughing so disgustingly?"

"No one." Chi Nian denied, and simply put the phone away.

Xi Shan was dubious, and pulled out a headphone cable: "Are there any arrangements for the evening?"

"What arrangements can I have?"

"Then how about going to the movies?" Xi Shan said, "On the road, I suddenly asked if Delingha had a movie theater... I wanted me to invite you to watch a movie, so please watch it."

Seeing that Chi Nian didn't answer, Xi Shan leaned in front of him to look: "Huh? I misunderstood... Then, shall we go back and rest?"

Chi Nian forcibly endured it, but when he opened his mouth, his sobs would be exposed again.He covered his eyes and calmed down for a while before looking at Xi Shan's current expression through his fingers.

Fortunately, it's the same as before, just a little dazed.

Before he could ask, Chi Nian moved his hand away again normally, without losing his composure.He and Xi Shan took two steps forward, but the other party didn't mention it, but Chi Nian poked Xi Shan's arm instead, and whispered when the other party turned around, "Hurry up and forget about it."

"Fortunately," Xi Shan said in a relaxed tone, "it's not as...dramatic as I imagined."

Chi Nian paused and stopped to look at him.

Xi Shan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Why are you so nice to me?" The question that was pressing in my heart came to my lips, but Chi Nian didn't say: "Now... are there any movies to watch?"
