designer who lives in the next room

There are quite a lot of cars on the road, but the driver is not panicked at all. It can be seen that his task today has not met the standard. He must be thinking of sending these two people to the destination as soon as possible and taking a few more orders. So the speed is still pretty fast.Li Zixi was very calm about the car turning left and right on the street, but Nanako was different. If she hadn't seen the calm expression on Li Zixi's face, Nanako who was holding the handle firmly would have shouted. Out.

The car drove all the way to the destination, and it was rare that there was no traffic jam on the way, Li Zixi looked at his watch, it was just the morning rush hour, it seemed that buying an early morning ticket was the right choice.Li Zixi supported Nanako, who was wobbling, to the side of the road to rest. This was the first time Nanako got motion sickness, and she had been resting for a long time before Nanako recovered somewhat.

Holding on to her suitcase, she looked at the people passing by and the cars honking on the road, "Let's take the subway in the future, I can't stand it."

The feeling of motion sickness is really bad, dizziness is accompanied by some nausea, Nanako is not even in the mood to eat now.In the morning in Li Zixi's hometown, there are various morning stalls selling everywhere on the roadside, whether it is steamed buns or something, there are many people standing in front of each stall.

From Nanako's point of view, this kind of roadside stall is quite interesting, and most of the food she sells is something she has never seen before. Bought Nanako a cup of porridge for breakfast.

The crimson porridge was in a plastic bottle, and it was steaming hot in her hand, so Nanako didn't rush to open it.She has never had porridge of this color, but it can be seen that it is a kind of grain, but why is the upper part of the porridge milky white? Can this kind of grain be cooked like this?

Nanako has been looking at the cup of breakfast porridge, very hesitant to open it, looking at the two contrasting colors, remembering that there are many foods in China that foreigners cannot accept on TV programs, Nanako is really not sure if she can I can drink it.

Li Zixi, who ate two buns in minutes, had already noticed Nanako who was hesitant, and seeing that she was still undecided, she had to explain to her, "It's just black rice porridge and milk, it tastes sweet. of."

It turned out to be black rice and milk, and it was sweet, which reassured Nanako a lot. Although she didn't particularly like sweets, at least the porridge had a taste she could accept.The last time Nanako came here to drink soy milk, the milky white milky white just looked good, but then she saw the soy milk on TV again, and it obviously didn't look much different from the color of soy milk, and it was both It is made from beans, but people who have tried it say that the taste is very different.

Some people who can't accept it will even think that soybean juice has a smell of rags.

It was that TV show that made Nanako a little wary of Chinese food. If she was allowed to drink that dishcloth-flavored soybean juice, she might not be able to eat for two days.

"Why is there such a combination?" But even though Li Zixi had told her what was in the cup, Nanako still felt strange, she had never seen the combination of porridge and milk, "Don't you think it's strange? "

"I thought it was weird when I saw it for the first time, so I bought a cup and tried it." Li Zixi nodded. She agreed with Nanako's point of view. It was the first time when she saw that the breakfast porridge at the school gate began to sell black rice milk. She really felt strange when eating porridge, but when the black rice milk porridge formed a craze, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared.

"It's strange that you still buy it?" Nanako was even more surprised, but after thinking about it, Li Zixi seemed to be like this all the time, always interested in things she hadn't seen before, and because of this, Li Zixi was also rejected when shopping online. I have been pitted many times.

If there are a lot of "waste" that Nanako bought but no longer uses in the room used to store sundries, then what Li Zixi puts in it is real waste, whether it's a coffee machine or an egg maker , They were scrapped after not being used twice, and it was very troublesome to recycle this kind of waste, so Nanako simply threw them in that room as well.

"Life is always about exploring unknown areas..." Li Zixi shrugged and held up her steamed stuffed bun, "There's only one left, do you want to eat it?"

Nanako's motion sickness had subsided, and to be honest, she was really hungry now, so she took Li Zixi's buns away.The skin of the buns is already warm, so Nanako thinks that this is the most appropriate time to eat, but she obviously underestimated the pursuit of delicious food by the intelligent working people in China, she has no idea what is inside the Chinese buns .

She took a big bite, and at the moment when the skin of the bun broke open, a large stream of delicious and hot juice gushed out, only to hear Nanako yelling, causing passers-by to turn their heads to look at her.

"Hot, hot, hot...it's so hot..." Nanako looked at the steamed bun in her hand in disbelief, the juice from the steamed bun flowed all over her hands.His tongue was numb from the scalding, and his speech was already a little awkward, "It's obviously cold to the touch, why is it still so hot inside?"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that these are soup dumplings..." Li Zixi looked at Nanako with some distress, and said to her while wiping the oil on her hands, "Actually, the truth is the same as beef balls with soup. It's cold outside but still hot inside."

Upon hearing this, Nanako glared at Li Zixi, and when she mentioned beef balls, she became furious.

The last time Li Zixi said that she wanted to eat hot pot, she went to a Chinese store and bought a lot of pissing beef balls. She didn't tell Nanako that there was something in the beef balls, so she also burned Nanako that time.

"You should tell me this important matter sooner..." Nanako took a few breaths to relieve the pain in her tongue, "The food here is really amazing, so you have to remind me, and You clearly know that I don't like eating hot things."

"...It was my mistake, I thought you knew it, the sign said it all..." Li Zixi threw the tissue into the trash can, and suddenly stopped talking, "Oh yes, I forgot that you didn't Literacy is coming."

"Don't call me illiterate, okay? I just don't know Chinese." Nanako snorted, "Don't forget that I'm also a high-achieving university graduate."

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Li Zixi sighed in her heart, she always felt that her wife was just getting older, but she was becoming more and more like a child in her heart.

It's pretty cute though.

In the end, Nanako carefully ate the steamed bun that Li Zixi gave her. Ever since the skin of the steamed bun was bitten, the inside had cooled down quickly. Even if it was scalded, Nanako was fascinated by the taste of the soup dumpling. Knowing that this taste would be gone after half a month, I asked Li Zixi if he could make it for her from time to time after returning home.

"I'm a designer, not a chef..." Li Zixi shook her head, "To be honest, I only know how to eat buns."

Volume [-]#Nanako is not a coward

Because Li Zixi's parents have to work overtime today, the two of them will have to be alone until noon tomorrow.

Although I can't see my parents right away, this is actually a very good thing, at least I won't hear my mother calling me to eat in a hurry.Li Zixi collapsed on her own bed as soon as she got home, her mother had thoroughly dried the mattress before she came back, so now it is soft and warm.

"There's still only one quilt." Li Zixi looked at the quilt with the bear pattern on the bed, remembering that last time my mother didn't prepare too much, but now the relationship between the two has gone a step further, and they usually sleep together , so it doesn't feel awkward at all now.

"Don't you want to wash it first?" Nanako asked her, "You ruined the quilt that Mom just dried."

"No, no, I have to go out at night anyway, and I'll wash it at night." Li Zixi said while pulling the quilt and wrapping it in. The air conditioner was turned to the lowest temperature and then got into the warm quilt. It felt so good, "Nanako Come and rest quickly."

Nanako who couldn't resist Li Zixi had no choice but to take off her short sleeves too, but she didn't throw away her clothes like Li Zixi did. She hung her clothes on the armchair of the chair, even though they have been married for a while now, but You have to impress mom and dad too.

Even if they are not here now.

"Lean in a little bit, I have no room." Nanako said and pushed Li Zixi, who was wrapped in the quilt and almost fell asleep, "Are you so sleepy?"

"It's true... so sleepy." Li Zixi said vaguely, then rolled inside to leave a space for Nanako, "If you don't plan to sleep now, remember to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner later, Too cold is not good for your health..."

Li Zixi was about to fall asleep while talking, but Nanako hurriedly stopped her.

"At least tell me the password of the wireless network before going to bed..." But Nanako was still a step too late, and Li Zixi, who had returned to the most familiar place, had already fallen asleep.

Every country, no matter where it is, is two completely different worlds during the day and at night. Although Li Zixi's hometown is not the most developed city in China, it is not full of high-rise buildings like Tokyo's bustling areas, but some low-rise The lights dotted on the upper floors of the residents reveal a sense of warmth.

The pace of life here is much slower than in Tokyo. After the sun goes down, Li Zixi and Nanako are walking on the road, surrounded by people who are out for a walk.When the street lights were turned on, the night markets on the street also started to open. There was a night market street near Li Zixi's house, and the smell of delicious food was everywhere at this time.

The street stalls in the night market are much more abundant than the breakfast stalls. The grilled skewers are completely different from those eaten in Japan, and there are some snacks that Nanako doesn’t even know how to call. The two of them who ate a few buns a day are already hungry. The front chest is attached to the back, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Li Zixi let Nanako choose.

It's not very expensive anyway, she just treats her today.

"So much food..." Nanako was dazzled, she really couldn't believe that this scene that can only be seen during Japanese celebrations can be seen here every day, "My eyes are dazzled, and there is still a little Dizziness."

"You are dizzy because you forgot to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner." Li Zixi, who was next to Nanako, said angrily. He clearly reminded Nanako before falling asleep, but this guy forgot when he turned his head, and even Li Zixi was hurt. The nose is a little stuffy, "You know that you can't stay in the air-conditioned room for too long."

"Hey, I'm too sleepy..." Nanako smiled awkwardly. It's summer now, and it's definitely not possible to turn on the air conditioner. "I'll pay attention to it in the future, um, don't worry."

"How can I be at ease..." Li Zixi sighed, the heat wave outside made her feel more comfortable.In recent years, the temperature of Li Zixi's city has surpassed that of the "Four Stoves" cities. Li Zixi was sweating all over after she came out. Urging Nanako, "Hurry up and choose, there will be more people in a while and we won't have a place to sit."

This place is not like Nanako's hometown. Many stores are on a reservation system, but here has always believed in the principle of first come, first served. If you go late, you will not be able to eat.

Nanako led the way, walked a little further, and finally found a store she was interested in.

There were so many people there that there was no room to sit in the store, so the owner put the tables on the sidewalk, and there were five or six people sitting around almost every table, and there were a lot of skewers on the table. There are cold beer and cold drinks just taken out of the refrigerator.

Nanako could smell the aroma of barbecue in this store from a long distance away. The owner put the oven outside the storefront, holding dozens of skewers of barbecue in both hands and bowing left and right. There was still some distance away, and the sound of gravy bursting could be heard.

"Just here, I've always heard you say that you want to eat barbecue from my hometown, and I've always wanted to try it too." Nanako dragged Li Zixi to the barbecue shop, and asked Li Zixi to negotiate with the boss, saying that they wanted to sit down. In an air-conditioned store.

But even if he was facing two little girls, even if the boss couldn't bear to let them sit outside, there weren't any vacant seats in the store. If he had to sit in the store, he would have to share a table with others.But this is a barbecue restaurant, and the people who come here to chat and eat are all very good friends, how could Li Zixi get in, let alone this Nanako who came from a foreign country.

And even if others agreed to Li Zixi and the others to form a partnership together, then Li Zixi would not be willing.

So after the negotiation failed, the two sat on the sidewalk outside the store.

"Is it really not a problem to occupy the sidewalk like this?" Nanako looked at the pedestrians passing by here. If they want to go around here, they can walk on the road and drive together with the car. "This is a bit too blatant to operate on the road." Bar?"

"Why is there a problem? This store has been here for almost 30 years." Li Zixi, who was looking at the menu, shook her head. The store has been operating like this since as long as she can remember, and at this time, the law enforcement agencies are also After work, as long as there are no fights, no one will come here to make trouble.

"And ah." Li Zixi pointed behind Nanako, "Did you see those in uniform? Law enforcement officers also like to come here to eat after work, so this way of doing business on this street has been tacitly approved. Besides, if something goes wrong, we can't be blamed, so my dear Nanako, you can eat with peace of mind."

Li Zixi put the menu in front of Nanako, he and she had already ordered what they wanted to eat, the next step was to look at Nanako.

The above is slowly all in Chinese, but fortunately there are pictures next to it, so Nanako still knows what some things are.

She hadn't eaten the roast the last time she was here, so she was taken aback when she saw the pictures on the menu.

She pointed to a picture and showed it to Li Zixi, "What is this, it looks pretty good."

It's spicy rabbit head...

Something that is absolutely unacceptable to a foreigner.

"Yes..." Li Zixi was about to tell Nanako what it was, but suddenly wondered if foreigners would eat it if they didn't know, so she chose to hide it, "Roast beef, how about it, order some if you want to eat it Well, I think it's a good question."

"I want to eat!" Nanako still likes to eat beef. When Li Zixi said this, she let go of her heart and said to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time, in the broken Chinese she had just learned from Li Zixi, "Wo, next time... …this."

The waiter glanced at what Nanako was pointing at, and couldn't help being surprised. She didn't understand Japanese and didn't know how Li Zixi explained it to Nanako, "Are you sure you want to eat this?"

Nanako turned to look at Li Zixi, she couldn't understand.

"People asked you if you were not sure, you can't change the menu after you take it away." Li Zixi translated it once, and added something to it.

Nanako nodded repeatedly to the waiter, "I'm sure."

The waiter's face showed admiration. She has seen foreigners who come here to eat barbecue, but even those foreign men who are famous for their boldness find it difficult to accept the spicy rabbit head. This pretty girl insisted on eating it. .

Li Zixi has no expression on her face, but she is already happy in her heart. She has no resistance to the rabbit head, and she knows that it is really delicious. This shop will also split the rabbit head for the convenience of customers. , so she can be sure that Nanako can't tell what is in her mouth.

She was looking forward to Nanako's reaction when she told Nanako what she ate, the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and she wished the waiter could bring up what Nanako ordered right now.

Li Zixi hadn't eaten the authentic barbecue in her hometown for a long time, so she ordered everything she wanted. Nanako looked at the table full of food. In addition to the common barbecue and ribs, there were also crayfish and river Mussels or something.This shop also has a special sign which is grilled insects. I heard that the taste is very good, but Li Zixi herself can't accept it.

Nanako noticed the insects on other people's tables, and she was startled and quickly moved aside.

"Wow, why are there still bugs?" Nanako looked disgusted, she didn't even dare to claw ladybugs, let alone those insects with thick thighs and sharp teeth.

"I heard it's delicious, the chicken tastes crunchy and crispy." Although Li Zixi had never eaten it, she was no stranger to it. She answered Nanako indifferently, "Why don't you have some too?"

She can say that because she is sure that Nanako will definitely not agree, so she can act very indifferent.

"Do you think I dare not eat?" But Nanako seemed to be mistaken, she thought Li Zixi was laughing at her, in order to prove to Li Zixi that she is not a coward, she waved and called the waiter, and then Pointing to the grilled grasshopper on another table, "It's spicy, but the nest is also second..."

The first volume #How can beef have such a small bone?

People who have eaten the grilled grasshopper say that it tastes very fragrant and has no peculiar smell.

But when the dish was brought to the table, the person who ate it for the first time was filled with fear when looking at those two dark and resentful eyes.

Nanako ordered this dish in order to fight for the breath, but she still couldn't open her mouth when she picked up the bamboo stick.

"Hmm..." Nanako stared at the roasted grasshopper on the bamboo stick. The sound of oil bursting could be heard on the freshly baked grasshopper. The aroma of the cumin and chili noodles scattered on it really smelled good. Appetite, "It seems pretty good..."

Li Zixi is naturally not interested in the thing Nanako is holding, no matter how delicious that thing is, she can't stand it, she picks up other types of barbecue in front of her and puts it into her mouth, then smiles badly Said to Nanako, "Really, it smells good, so it must taste delicious, Nanako, why don't you eat it?"

Nanako swallowed, looked at Li Zixi who was waiting to see her joke, and said to herself, "Since it can be served as a dish, it must be edible, Nanako, look at other guests eating Isn’t it delicious, eat it with your eyes closed.”

So Nanako closed her eyes and opened her mouth, ready to stuff the fragrant grilled grasshopper into her mouth, but when the bamboo stick was really close to her mouth, Nanako suddenly opened her eyes again.

She couldn't stop thinking about what she was eating, and she couldn't ignore those dark and resentful eyes.

"Too, it's too hot. I'll eat it later." Nanako shook her head and put the bamboo sticks back on the plate. She couldn't even eat one, but there were still a dozen skewers on the plate. She felt a chill.

"Anyway, it's fine if you finish eating for me." Li Zixi shrugged her shoulders. The beef and mutton in front of her were all normal, so she ate with relish. "It's all money, don't let it go to waste."

It's only eight o'clock in the evening, and the heat brought by the sun shining on the ground during the day has not yet dissipated. It should be very hot in a barbecue stall with so many people, but Nanako doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.The orientation of this night market is very good. There are no tall buildings on both ends of the street as a barrier. There will often be a gust of wind directly running through this night market street. Accompanied by cold beer and drinks, life feels very comfortable after eating delicious food. .

You can see all kinds of people here, their postures are different, but all of them are drinking and talking. Nanako has always lived in a place with a particularly fast pace of life, and now she suddenly feels very comfortable when she is here with Li Zixi.Everything can be found here, the price is considered moderate, and there is this proud service industry.

Many aspects are different from Nanako's hometown. If possible, Nanako would like to stay here in the future, enjoy life here, and live comfortably with Li Zixi. She doesn't mean that her hometown is not good, but that kind of too fast life The rhythm really made her feel a little tired.

"No wonder so many foreigners don't want to go back after living in China for a while." Nanako finally understood the feelings of those foreigners in the video she watched, and she said her thoughts to Li Zixi, "It's delicious and delicious. There are many, and the people are very kind.”

"Not everyone is kind." Li Zixi shook her head, "There are bad people everywhere, isn't there?"

"That's right." Nanako agreed with Li Zixi's thoughts, "But I really like this place."

Hearing Nanako say that Li Zixi is very happy, no matter who hears others praise their hometown, they will feel happy, Li Zixi is a little proud, she just took her to the night market for a stroll, there are many places here that she has not seen past it.

"Hmph, after all, our place is rich in resources." Li Zixi looked at Nanako proudly with her chest up, "After two days of rest, I will take you out to play, so that you can feel it. The time was so tight last time that I didn't even have time to take Nanako with me." You go out to play, this time it’s different, you can stay here for more time and then I get paid.”

"Then I'll leave it to you." Nanako nodded happily, "Take some photos and show them back. Didn't Ms. Liyuan say that she really wants to come here to play?"

"Yes, after seeing the photos, she will definitely want to come and play." Li Zixi said with certainty, she used a bamboo stick to tie up the scallop meat and stuffed it into her mouth, "This can be regarded as promoting the economic growth of my hometown Woolen cloth."

Each person chattered nonsense, and the busy waiter finally served the dishes.

The last dish is the spicy rabbit head ordered by Li Zixi and Nanako Li. As a famous dish in Sichuan, almost everyone in China knows it. It was enjoyable, but Nanako can't eat spicy food very much, so Li Zixi had already told the waiter to just put a little chili on it.

But the things that were served still looked bright red, and the rabbit's head was smashed into pieces, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

"Wow, it looks so delicious." Nanako couldn't help admiring again. The food on the roadside in China doesn't pay attention to the presentation, and it's almost always placed on the plate very messy, but this doesn't affect its deliciousness at all. It can also give people a relaxed feeling, "But it looks so spicy..."

Nanako used a bamboo skewer to push aside the bright red chili noodles on top, looking at the firm meat, her saliva was about to flow out.

Nanako, who was often burned, learned to be smart this time. She blew for a while, and tried the temperature with her lips. She picked up the chopsticks and put them in her mouth when she could accept it.

When the meat just entered the mouth, there was a very strong flavor of spices, which occupied every corner of the mouth in an instant.The skin of the meat was slightly browned by the charcoal fire, but when the teeth were bitten off, the inside was overflowing with juice. The deliciousness of the meat juice mixed with the taste of spices made Nanako feel extremely happy, even though the spicy pepper hurt her mouth , but she couldn't stop at all.

"What is this? How can it be so delicious?" Nanako was full of praise for this dish. She had never eaten a dish with such rich flavors. "How do you make this?"

Of course Li Zixi doesn't know how to do it, but what she can be sure of is that foreigners just really can't accept animal internal organs and organs. If they don't tell them, they will naturally eat them very happily.

When the aroma gradually dissipated, the spicy feeling of chili slowly occupied the mouth, and Nanako's tongue was burning and hurting.

She hurriedly picked up the beer in hand and took a sip. The cold taste temporarily prevented the pain from spreading, so it wouldn't be too refreshing to take a sip of beer part-time job.

Nanako couldn't wait to pick up Ling and stuff it into her mouth together, but when she bit down, she felt something strange.

After chewing for a long time, Nanako spat out a piece of bone from her mouth, which was very small and hard. Nanako picked it up and looked at it carefully. She still couldn't figure out which part of the cow's body it was, and why it was a bone when eating barbecue. Will you eat the bones?

"How come there are bones here..." Nanako asked Li Zixi, "Is the beef here not boneless?"
