The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 442
The two teenagers, clasping each other's shoulders, walked home step by step against the biting northwest wind.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.The rare moon and stars are rare.

In the blue-black sky, sparse stars are twinkling.

Qilan raised his head and glanced in the direction of the suburbs——
There are several mountains, and after turning over the mountains, farmland and villages can be seen on the other side of the mountains.

On this cold winter night, I don't know if Lin Mi's father's illness has improved. Are she and her father getting used to living in the countryside?

"Brother Chen, do you plan to go home recently?"

"It will take two or three days before I go back, and there are still things to do at the school."

"Okay. Remember to call me when you go home."

He was obviously concerned about a girl's basic necessities of life, food, housing, transportation and life safety, but his mouth was strict and he didn't mention a word.

The companion who was traveling saw his thoughts, bent down to pick up a small round stone on the ground, and threw it towards a big tree by the roadside.

"Boom!"

The tree trunk touched and made a muffled sound.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing with this tree?"

"It, even if it doesn't have a mouth, it can't say it. You, even if you have a mouth, you don't want to say it. I miss Miss Lin and keep it a secret. I really can't understand your attitude."

"Be merciful," Qilan begged, "I dropped out of school right after graduating from elementary school, so how can I speak against you, a college student."

"Stop flattering me," Chen Xing waved his hand with a smile, "Ghosts believe in your elementary school culture! If you can get the first place in the elementary school culture test, a donkey can fly!"

"Number one? Could it be that the results are out so soon?"

"The teachers worked overtime to make corrections. I don't want to share the good news. The questions were very difficult. I didn't expect to get a high score. I asked my senior to inquire about it. It was you."

The days of worry and fear finally came to an end.

The preparations were so hasty, and I didn't even dare to hope that I could make it.

He even planned that if he didn't pass the exam, he would go to a restaurant to be a chef or pastry chef like Li Yan, and he would be relatively free to take care of the meals, and then continue the exam.

Taking care of the exam, Chen Xing patted his chest to reassure him:

"When you arrive at my house, you can rest assured. My wife is very kind. She likes to clean up the room and cook well. Ms. Lin and her father must live comfortably."

Chen Xing said, smacking his lips, "It's time to make spring water tofu at home again. You must have never tried it. It is stewed with the best chicken and mushrooms in a pot. It's delicious."

It was the first time I heard that spring water tofu was so vivid that it made my companion who had already had an empty stomach swallow involuntarily.

Originally, Qilan received a letter from Zhang Wenxuan and rushed to the appointment, missing the meal.

When they arrived at the tavern, the two of them only focused on reminiscing about the past and parting, only drinking and not eating food.

And just one or two glasses of wine, how can it be enough to fill your stomach?

Qilan jumped out of Xiaomei's bedroom window in one breath, didn't he rely on the little wine in his stomach to strengthen his courage?

After a lot of tossing and drinking, the alcohol also went down, the hunger became more and more intense, and I staggered without realizing it.

The wind made them both shrink their necks.Chen Xing always said whatever he wanted, not to mention that not having a full stomach is a basic human need, so there is no shame in it.

He imitated the appearance of Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West", sniffing his nose exaggeratedly, not letting go of any smell of food blown by the wind.

After looking for a while, he suddenly looked like seeing a spring in the desert, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily:
"There seems to be a mutton noodle restaurant up ahead that's still open, let's go in together! If you don't eat or drink, you won't have the energy to walk."

"Mutton noodle restaurant? Is it mutton?"

Qilan had never eaten this kind of noodles, and he missed the oily noodles made by Li Yan not long ago.

Although it is simple and there are no good toppings, the chili flavor penetrates into every pore, making it enjoyable to eat.

"Enough." Chen Xing licked his lips, "There are mutton in the noodles, mutton soup and mutton offal, together with star anise, it won't smell bad."

"Okay." Qilan should be reluctant.

Mutton must be grilled to be delicious.Cook a pot in a mess, and it's delicious.

In my college life before time travel, I went to the barbecue stand outside the school gate every night to serve several skewers in winter.

However, he couldn't stand the good brother's insistence and gave in.

The storefront is not big, stepping over the uneven and greasy threshold stepped on by countless feet, one can see at a glance that there are only six rough wooden tables inside.

Typical fly shop.

Not to mention that the signboard in front of the store is written casually, I don't know which down-and-out scholar made a temporary move.

"Mutton Haggis Noodles" was written crookedly on an uneven paint board, and the words were of different sizes, which was very shabby.

The diners are full, at least 15 people start at each table, so crowded that even the guys who serve the food in the store have to turn sideways and stand on tiptoe.

Looking at the situation, I am afraid that even cockroaches and mice will be crushed or trampled to death if they squeeze in, and it is very likely that they will never return.

As soon as Qilan entered the door, he was dizzy by the strong smell of scallions and aniseed ingredients, and almost fell down.

Chen Xing also choked up and sneezed loudly several times, causing the bangs on his forehead to flip uncontrollably to the top of his head.

"Brother Chen, look, there are so many people here that they can't eat in the middle of the night. I'll go back and cook."

"Cooking? How long has it been since you went outside to buy rice or noodles? The day I came out to look for you, I still wanted pancakes. I was shocked when I lifted the lid—it was already empty."

A few minutes ago, Qilan was still immersed in the imagination of food, staring at plum blossoms to quench his thirst, stubbornly not moving his feet inside.

Qiang went back to the small nest with energy, cooked a pot of fragrant white rice, and had a full meal with the crispy kimchi in the kitchen jar.

However, Chen Xing's words brought him back to reality. Without a soul mate like Mi, eating only kimchi would be a shame to his stomach.

The only jar left after many failed attempts.

Things have been messy recently, and I don't have the heart to pickle the food anymore.It's better to save it until there is rice in the pot and enjoy it slowly.

He stomped his feet in frustration, both to keep warm and to relieve his depression.

"Xiao Lan, don't worry, look, the front table is finished! Wait for the waiter to clean up."

"A lot of food in Beiping smells bad and tastes delicious! Such as soybean milk, fried liver, stewed stew"

"I'm hungry right now. Just a few more mouthfuls, and we'll leave." Qilan is not stubborn.

Before the words were finished, the person was dragged to a row of benches against the wall.

There is a big pot over the kitchen, cooking a fat sheep, and the oily soup is boiling.

Chen Xing smelled the aroma and became even hungrier. He stood up and wanted to walk around: "I'll go and see how the pot of mutton soup is done."

Qilan fell asleep alone.

Before the bench was warmed up, I heard the sound of heavy boots coming out of the shop.

A yawning old man by the door stretched out his neck reflexively to look at the sound, and jumped in fright.

With two bowed legs, he fled into the store like a mouse seeing a cat:
"It's not good, it's not good, shopkeeper, those bullies are here again!"

"Bully?"

The boy woke up suddenly, and looked over there in surprise——
A dark shadow was moving hurriedly along the threshold.
