After the plane arrived in Xi'an, it was already evening. They had booked a hotel in advance, so they went directly to the hotel to stay.
The time agreed with the boss is three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so I can rest peacefully tonight. Even if I don't get a good rest, it doesn't matter. I can get up later tomorrow.
After checking into the hotel, Tianqiu couldn't help but think of the time when he and Hai Ruo were in Siya. Although they had asked for two rooms at that time, they had always lived in one room! Thinking of the beautiful scenery at that time, Tianqiu couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
But he soon reminded himself that the person living next door was not Hairuo but Murong, so he couldn't have any wrong ideas. Thinking of Hai Ruo, he quickly made a phone call to report that he was safe.
The two chatted for a while until Murong knocked on the door and hung up the phone.
Tianqiu felt warm in his heart, it felt so good to have someone caring about him! Although I have to call to say I'm safe and talk a few nonsense words, I'm not as free and easy as before. But it is this kind of care, but it is the true love in the world that money cannot buy! In the past, his girlfriend was always around, but she had never been so far away, and he didn't feel it carefully, so he didn't feel that way anymore.
Murong was still knocking on the door outside, and Tianchou hurried over to open the door.
The two of them said they would go to eat after settling down. Just now Murong suggested going to the night market to eat snacks, because she felt that it would be a pity not to eat some authentic local snacks once it was a rare visit.
Tianqiu knew that Murong didn't have high requirements for food, clothing and enjoyment, so she would suggest this because she only wanted to eat authentic snacks. Another person probably wanted to save a little. After all, she always advocated spending money where it is most needed, rather than eating, drinking and enjoying.
The two of them were not familiar with the local area, so after leaving the hotel, they could only ask the taxi driver to take them to the local snack night market. Taxis themselves have this requirement for tourists. They had long been used to it, so they were dragged to the Bell Tower at the intersection of the four east, west, north, and south streets in Xi'an City. This area is famous for its various snacks.
Tianqiu has never been out, so his knowledge of local customs and snacks is really limited. Murong also didn't know much about Xi'an's snacks. In order not to be disappointed, Tianqiu asked the driver in the car, and the driver introduced to them such things as Xi'an Liangpi, Xi'an Roujiamo, five-spice donkey meat, mutton steamed buns, traditional meat with sand, Qin Dynasty tile fish, and northwest-flavored fried mutton. Authentic snacks such as Pai Pai and Noodles.
After getting off the bus, Murong was very excited and looked at the bustling crowd. In addition to locals, most of them were tourists from other places, and there were even many foreigners.
Tianqiu also put aside the client he was going to meet tomorrow and started walking with Murong. First I found a place to eat some cold skin to appetize.
"What should I do? There are so many delicious foods. If you are full first, you won't be able to eat anymore!" Murong felt a little regretful and suggested: "Why don't we just have one portion?"
Tianqiu said quickly: "Just eat less. If we ask for a portion, people will think we are stingy!"
Murong didn't say anything more.
Tianqiu didn't mind eating a portion with Murong, he was just worried that others would think he had no money. In fact, there are also many couples who share a meal. The problem is that they are not a couple, and there is still a little psychological distance between them.
I've had Liangpi before, but it just didn't feel as authentic as here: although it only has a few seasonings, it doesn't just taste sour or salty. It is one part sweet, one part salty, one part sour, fragrant but not spicy.
Although it feels great, it is human nature to be greedy and greedy for new things. Both of them felt that other foods would be more delicious, and they couldn't bear to let themselves be full without finishing the representative ones.
Fragrant fried lamb chops, the single word "explosion" is enough to capture your imagination. The color of the lamb chops is black and translucent, and the meat is cooked so tender that you can scrape off a piece with just a roll of your tongue. It almost feels like it "melts in your mouth".
There is also "Roujia Mo". Roujia Mo is actually a bun with meat: a small sesame seed cake baked in white flour, with juicy and juicy shredded pork in the middle, just like a sandwich, and there is also meat in the meat bun. Mixed with raw coriander and leftover hot peppers, one bite makes you feel the freshness and flavor. It's really a feast for the eyes...
After eating the fried lamb chops and steamed buns, we went to the famous "Jia San Guan Tang Bao" shop to eat steamed buns. After eating countless soup dumplings, they finally gave up the idea of tasting all the snacks at once. Their stomachs couldn't bear it, so they could only wait until next time to eat mutton steamed buns or something.
"Wow, baby noodles? What do you mean? Baby?" Tianqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw a strange noodle name written on the sign of a store.
"This is not the character for treasure." Murong looked at it. Although it looked a bit like the traditional Chinese character for treasure, it was not. It was more complicated than the characters that were hung on the floor during the New Year to "bring in wealth and bring treasure". "It's very unfamiliar. I don't know what it's called."
"No way?" Tianqiu laughed, "Are you as uneducated as me?"
Murong pursed his lips and smiled, "What's so strange about this? I don't know everything."
"However, this word is really strange! Look at that guy, there are ninety strokes instead of one hundred strokes. I bet it's not even in the dictionary. It must be a word made by the locals!" Tianqiu pondered for a moment.
"Probably, it may be based on the dialect here." Murong didn't quite understand.
Seeing the two of them pointing at the door, someone immediately came out of the store and asked, "Do you two want to eat biangbiang noodles?"
"What do you call this noodle?" Tianchou asked curiously.
"The biangbiang noodles are very famous. Are you tourists? You must try it!" The shop owner greeted enthusiastically.
"Uh... no need! Let's try your... Bangbang noodles another day when we have time? Right?"
“biangbiang noodles.”
"Oh, remember...it's biangbiang noodles! Haha!..."
Tianqiu also wanted to tell the noodle shop owner about the origin and writing of this weird Chinese character. Murong felt a little embarrassed that he was not going to spend money there and was disturbing other people's business, so he quickly pulled him away.
Now that the two of them had eaten and had nothing to do, they took a walk along the streets of the night market, among the many tourists.
Unexpectedly, neither of them spoke, they just walked slowly side by side.
Being on the unfamiliar streets of a foreign land gave both of them an indescribable feeling. It was a feeling of tranquility, a sense of novelty, uneasiness, and a little hesitation that could not even be expressed in words.
"It seems like... we have never tried such a leisurely walk before?" After walking for a while, Tianqiu finally couldn't help but break the silence and said with a smile. "I used to have a lot of time. When I saw you again, I was already very busy."
"Yes." Murong said in a low voice, "I haven't taken a walk like this for a long time. I have been very busy before... I may be very busy in the future. Ha, it is really rare!"
Tianqiu suddenly remembered that fable. If he was really rich one day, would he really have time to leisurely bask in the sun on the beach? Does the objective environment allow it
Just thinking about it for a moment, Tian Qiu changed his mind. Even if he is busy, he is willing to continue to be busy like this. This kind of busyness and tiredness is fulfilling. Compared with the empty leisure before, it is better to make progress.
"Huh?" Tianchou suddenly said, "You stand there and wait for me."
By the time Murong reacted, Tianqiu had already run away, and her eyes quickly searched for Tianqiu.
Tianqiu quickly ran to the back, and then came back soon.
"What are you doing? Did you encounter any strange words again?" Murong smiled lightly.
Tianqiu shook his head and looked into her bright eyes with a smile.
"What are you doing? Is there oil on my face?" Being stared at by Tianqiu, Murong couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. He quickly reached out and touched his pretty face. He also wanted to cover up the shyness on his face, right
"Qin Murong, look at what this is?" Tianqiu Langsheng said.
Tianqiu used to call Qin Murong by his first name when he was a child. Now, he calls him only Murong. Suddenly, he calls him by his first name and surname, which makes Murong a little uncomfortable. She looked over quickly, "What's wrong?..."
"Haha, I'll give you a bunch of candied haws on a stick! Haven't you always been thinking about it before?" Tianqiu handed over a bunch of red candied haws on a stick.
Looking at the candied haws in Tianqiu's hand, Murong's thoughts were suddenly brought back to his childhood...
They grew up in an orphanage. They have to pay for the children's living and study expenses. The orphanage is already stretched thin. How can there be any pocket money for them? Therefore, ordinary children's toys, snacks, etc., even if they are cheap, are just fantasy items for them.
There was a time when Murong was very greedy for candied haws, and wanted to taste the attractive red color, but he never had the chance. At that time, Tianyou was annoyed by her, so he promised her that he would find a way to buy her food. Later he forgot about it, and until he left the orphanage, Murong's wish was not fulfilled.
Today, Murong and I were shopping and walking together alone. Putting aside all other pressures, he felt very relaxed. Suddenly he saw a candied haws seller passing by, and Tianqiu's mind suddenly recalled what he said a long, long time ago.
"What for? Don't you want to eat it when you grow up?" Tianchou looked at Murong's silent expression, smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one here knows you, no one will laugh at you, just be a little kid for once My child, this can be regarded as fulfilling a wish I promised you before."
Murong pursed her lips tightly and looked at Tianqiu without making a sound. Her thoughts were very complicated.
"No?...It doesn't matter!" Tianqiu saw that she had no intention of asking for it. He raised his hand and was about to drop the candied haws in his hand.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Murong quickly grabbed Tianqiu's hand, snatched the candied haws from his hand, and said a little emotionally: "Who said I don't want it anymore?"
