"letter of introduction."

In the guest house, Chen Chen, Chen Ming, and Chen Qian passed the letter of introduction at the request of the front desk. The front desk checked and asked, "How many rooms do you want?"

Chen Chen asked: "How many rooms are there?"

The front desk replied: "There are single rooms, double rooms, and quadruple rooms."

Chen Chen was not very used to living in the same room with other people, but after traveling for so long, living in the same room with Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an every day, he is almost used to it.

Out of safety considerations, Chen Ming suggested: "A double room or a quadruple room is fine, which one is cheaper to live in?"

Chen Chen was the first to say: "I want to sleep alone in a bed, I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

Chen Qian also raised his hand, "I want to sleep on my own bed too."

Chen Ming: "..."

Chen Ming could only say: "A room for four people."

The front desk returned the letter of introduction after inspection, and asked, "How many days will you stay?"

Chen Ming and Chen Qian looked at Chen Chen, Chen Chen thought about it and said, "Let's open it for three days first."

The front desk responded well, and then quickly opened a room for four people for them. After paying the money for three days, Chen Chen got three keys.

The three brothers went in with their things.

The quadruple room is not too big, except for four 1.2-meter beds, there are only four matching small cabinets, a bit like bedside cabinets, a square table and four matching stools, and four sets of washing utensils, and the rest no more.

Chen Chen thought it was crude, but Chen Ming said, "I didn't expect it to be so good, it really cost money."

Chen Qian opened the window, "It's not bad."

No slippers, no bath towels, and you have to go to the end of the corridor outside the room to wash up...

That's it, the conditions are good?

Chen Chen sighed.

"Pack up your things, let's go out to eat."

"immediately!"

Chen Chen put a lot of things in the travel bag, Chen Ming turned his head and saw Chen Chen took out some clothes and pants from the bag and threw them on the bed, he was startled, "Xiao Chen, you still brought clothes?"

Chen Chen hummed, "I brought two sets."

Chen Ming didn't know why, "Why are you bringing clothes?"

Chen Chen took out the small schoolbag that was placed at the bottom of the travel bag, and said in a calm tone: "We should stay in the provincial capital for four or five days, and it may be longer if it doesn't go well. We can't keep wearing one set of clothes during this time Bar?"

Chen Ming said naturally: "It's okay if you don't change it for a few days."

Chen Chen can't say anything, after all, the weather is not hot now, and he seldom sweats. It's normal to change clothes only once a few days in this day and age.

Chen Chen put the letter of introduction, bankbook, a little cash and other certificates, paper and pens, etc. into a small schoolbag, then folded the clothes he took out and put them back into the travel bag, and finally stuffed the travel bag into the cabinet .

The guest house is fairly safe. Even if these things are really unlucky and stolen, they are not life-threatening.

As for other important things, you have to carry them with you.

Chen Chen tidied up here, and Chen Ming and Chen Qian tidied up there too.The two of them didn't take the sack, but they took out the steamed buns in the family packs, and they planned to destroy them later when they were eating.

The three of them closed the door with their keys and important items and walked out. Chen Chen asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Chen Qian asked enthusiastically, "What's delicious in the provincial capital?"

Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "It's more than the county."

Chen Qian: "Specifically?"

Chen Chen: "I don't know."

Chen Qian wondered, "Fourth Brother, haven't you been here before?"

Chen Chen curled his lower lip, "Before I lived at Du Xingwei's place, I ate outside for one meal, and the rest were eaten at Du Xingwei's house."

Chen Qian had no choice but to say: "Forget it, just go out and have a look, and go into the one that smells the best."

Chen Ming was speechless, "Are you really here to eat?"

Chen Qian asked back: "Didn't we just go to eat?"

Chen Ming was choked, "I went to eat, but the things sold in this provincial capital should be quite expensive, so don't yell."

Chen Qian said indifferently: "It's hard to come here once, so of course I have to eat the best food in the provincial capital, otherwise there are some in other counties, so why should I come to the provincial capital to eat?"

Chen Ming could not refute.

Chen Chen said: "The prices in the provincial capitals are not much different, so you can eat whatever you want."

That being the case, Chen Ming said nothing, "All right."

The setting sun gradually slanted to the west, dyeing half of the sky red.

It’s not dark on the street at this moment, it’s time for meals, and because there are many food shops, there will be a burst of fragrance in the air from time to time, Chen Ming and Chen Qian, who are new to the provincial capital, can’t help but stare. Yes, Chen Qian is a man of action. After a while, he had a small bag of fried sugar cake in his hand. Chen Chen and Chen Ming each took a piece to taste.The food tastes crispy, the aroma of oil is mixed with the sweetness of bean paste and brown sugar, the taste is very special, but it is undeniable that it is delicious.

Chen Qian sighed, "There are no such good things in the county."

Chen Ming agreed, "It's not bad, Huaixing and the others will definitely like it."

Chen Qian suggested, "Would you buy some to take home?"

Chen Ming was very moved, "I'll see it later."

Chen Qian didn't buy much at first, so he ate up the deep-fried sugar cakes in twos and twos. He was looking for something to buy again, when his fourth brother yelled, "Eat hot pot."

Chen Ming and Chen Qian had never heard of this thing before, "Hot pot?"

"Things from other provinces." Chen Chen has already walked to the door of the store. There are not many people sitting in the store. After all, few people eat outside in this day and age, but just looking at the steaming bottom of the pot, it should be It's okay, "you will know after eating it once."

Chen Ming and Chen Qian, who had just arrived, believed in Chen Chen's recommendation and followed them in.

The waiter led the person in and sat down, Chen Chen first asked, "Do you want a ticket?"

The waiter replied: "No ticket."

Chen Chen felt relieved.

The menu is handwritten, and there are several kinds of pot bottoms, and there are even mandarin duck pots!

Chen Chen was a little surprised, "Is the hot pot authentic?"

The waiter said confidently: "The chefs in our store have learned it specially. There are very few customers who have eaten at our house who say they don't like it. It is absolutely authentic and delicious."

Chen Chen nodded noncommittally.

Chen Ming and Chen Qian had never eaten hot pot, so Chen Chen didn't ask for their opinions, and simply ordered the mandarin duck hot pot, and then handed over the menu and asked them to choose the dishes first.

The two took it and looked at it, and after the waiter explained, they ordered two things they wanted the most, and finally the menu fell into Chen Chen's hands, and he ordered a lot.

Chen Ming and Chen Qian were a little startled, "Xiaochen, can you finish eating so much?"

Chen Chen said: "I haven't eaten for a day, so eat slowly."

In fact, the current hot pot dishes are really not as good as those of later generations. There are basically no dishes that are indispensable for eating hot pot, such as brain flower, fat beef, and hairy tripe. Vegetables are only available in season, and there are many mushrooms and pork. It is complete, and there are rich categories of chicken and duck, but there are shrimp slippery shrimp dumplings and several kinds of meatballs, which is a surprise.

Chen Chen basically didn't order the ones that he could often eat at home, and what he ordered were things that Chen Ming and Chen Qian hadn't even heard of before.

In no time, it was served piping hot.

There is no special induction cooker for hot pot yet, and only charcoal can be burned underneath, but it may be that the coal bought in the store is good, it is burning well, and there is no dust floating up.

Chen Qian looked at the bottom of the pot, one red and one white, and took a deep breath, "It smells delicious."

Chen Chen introduced: "This one is spicy, this one is not spicy, you can try it later."

Chen Ming found a blind spot, "Xiaochen, why are you so familiar?"

Chen Chen calmly said: "When I came to the provincial capital before, I passed by and heard a lot from people."

Chen Qian stared at the glowing red boiling soup, and said nonchalantly, "Fourth Brother knows a lot, Third Brother, are you still not used to it?"

Chen Ming smiled, "I haven't heard Xiaochen mention it before."

Chen Chen seemed to be indifferent and said: "I said I couldn't eat it before, which means it's useless."

Chen Ming thinks about it too, "It's true."

Just as he was talking, the waiter brought up a lot of dishes, such as shrimp slippery, shrimp dumplings, kelp knots, fish balls, meatballs, mushroom balls, pork belly, duck intestines, duck blood, vermicelli, sausages, konjac, bean curd, vegetables Platter...

Most of the dishes are rarely seen in the village, and the table is full in a short while.

Chen Ming and Chen Qian were already dumbfounded.

This is too much! !

Then came rice, three dishes of prepared sauce, and three sets of cutlery.

"The dishes ordered by the three have been served, please take your time."

"Thank you."

After the waiter left, Chen Ming and Chen Qian were still in a daze, and Chen Chen served them a meal, "Isn't it?"

Chen Ming wiped his face, "How much does it cost?"

Chen Chen laughed, "Just eat."

Chen Ming couldn't accept it.

Chen Ming always felt that the meals he ate in the county during the time when he went to the county to sell bad peppers were already luxurious enough, because the time was a little longer, and he even felt that he was used to it, but now seeing this table, especially many He didn't know what it means to be a big witch when he couldn't recognize a table of dishes.This table, I'm afraid it's not full of Han people!

Chen Qian was also dumbfounded, but this kid has never behaved so well, so after being dumbfounded, he became excited, "Fourth brother, you are really my real brother!"

Chen Chen was speechless, "You will know the taste of something you haven't eaten before, so hurry up and put away your shocked expression that you can swallow eggs. There are several tables in this store, and you are not afraid of being seen by others." joke."

In front of strangers, Chen Ming and Chen Qian are still a bit burdened. They are so big, they can't really be laughed at by others, can they?

The two quickly put away their expressions, and even rubbed their faces with their hands. The hot pot steam was lingering, Chen Qian picked up a piece of pork belly floating in the red pot with his chopsticks, and muttered softly, "This is the landlord's treatment." gone."
