At noon that day, Anqing County.
There is a hotel next to the North City Gate, which is easy to find. There is a broth restaurant opposite the hotel, which is also a good restaurant in Anqing County.
There was a pulped elm table and a wide bench, and the two of them sat opposite each other.
The calico cat was sitting at one end of Song You's bench. Because she was eating out in a restaurant, she couldn't serve at the table, but she didn't run around. Song You brought her a deep-mouthed plate and placed it in front of her. Putting a large piece of keel bone and half a plate of soup, she bent down and ate seriously.
On the table is a large pot of pork bone and radish soup.
The bones are mainly large tube bones and keel bones. There is a lot of meat on them, which is stewed thinly. The white radish has been stewed until it is translucent. It has absorbed the broth and tastes no worse than meat. The clear soup base with oily flowers is embellished with chopped green onion, which looks like jade, and the color looks very appetizing.
"Suck..."
Wu Nuxia held the tube bone in her left hand. When she put her mouth up, she didn't even need to pull it. She just sucked the meat and it came off. She chewed it twice, quickly lowered her head, and quickly chopped the rice with chopsticks in her right hand.
The rice is white rice, called Maoertou.
There's nothing special about it.
It's a heaping pile of white rice. The more discerning stores will press it tightly for you, so that one bowl can equal the amount of two flat bowls. If you encounter a profiteer, first take a bowl to fill it, press it tightly and then put it into another bowl, so that the bottom is empty, and the top will pop up, forming a sharp point, creating a It looks like the top of a hat, hence the name hat head.
Pay by the bowl.
Don’t underestimate this bowl of white rice.
There are special stalls selling hatou on the street. Some people go to the city to do business and want something solid, so they will go and have a bowl of hatou with some pickles, which can be considered a good meal.
The bottom line is that people are living a hard life these days, and not many people eat white rice as a meal.
This is a delicious and luxurious thing.
"It's so refreshing!"
Only Wu Nuxia let out a long sigh.
Then she put down the tube bone and said to Song You: "On the first day we came here, the boss brought us here to eat. He said it had been open for more than ten years and the food was really good. I just brought you here today."
"It's really good."
"The meat is fresh and doesn't need to be cooked. As long as the salt is right and a little ginger is added, it will be delicious."
"rational."
"Have you decided when to leave?"
"Not yet."
"What are you doing these days?"
"I've been looking for a good teacher in the past few days. I've learned some skills that I didn't have before. I'll leave once I've learned a bit."
"oh……"
The woman trailed off in a long voice, but she didn't ask what her skills were. She just continued chatting: "Will you go to Changjing?"
"Will do."
"So sure?"
"Changjing is the capital of Dayan, the most virtuous city in the world. Since I have traveled all over the world, how can I not go and see it?"
"when to go?"
"Let it happen."
"Good……"
Song You glanced at the female hero's expression and asked in a low voice: "The female hero is also going to Changjing?"
"My enemy, we're leaving tomorrow."
"What are you going to Changjing for?"
"Let's go have a adventure!"
Wu Nuxia temporarily stopped eating: "Although Yizhou is not bad, the weather here is a bit smaller after all, and after living in Yizhou for more than 20 years, it is not bad, but a bit boring. Anyway, no matter what you want, Whether you want to gain fame or gain experience, you should leave Yizhou to have a try."
"Aspirational."
"Can't talk about it."
"Are your fellow disciples going too?"
"If they don't go, it's just me."
"Go directly to Changjing?"
"Absolutely. But if you encounter something interesting on the way, or a sect that has good relations with my Xishan sect, you have to pay a visit." Wu Nuxia laughed.
“Yangzhou Yangdu is not bad either.”
"It's not bad, but Changjing is better."
Song You saw the longing for Changjing in her eyes.
This is also normal.
Because Dayan is really strong, this kind of strength is difficult for the citizens of a country that is not standing on the top of the world to understand. It is not just as simple as a strong military and a developed economy, but also in various aspects such as culture and people's livelihood. On top of the world. Many of its policies will affect the entire world, and many trends will be followed by other countries. No matter how many people in Dayan are hungry, compared with the foreign people in foreign lands at this time, they can still stand up straight.
The capital of such a country, the largest and most prosperous city in the world in this era, undoubtedly represents the pinnacle of civilization. In the minds of many people, it is a place like a dream.
Not only the people of Dayan, but also people from many foreign countries.
Everyone in the world yearns for it.
Some people came from thousands of miles away to find the heavenly kingdom mentioned by this businessman. There are even people who are princes from other big countries, but they don't want to leave after coming here. Even demons gathered there, and even Song You wanted to see its prosperity and the pinnacle of civilization of the era it represented.
"If you also want to go to Changjing." Wu Nuxia started eating again, "Then we might even meet in Changjing."
"Do you have any old friends in Changjing?"
"No."
"Then I will be your first old friend in Changjing."
"Absolutely." Wu Nuxia blinked twice, "I didn't think it was anything at first, but when you said that, it suddenly felt quite strange."
"Maybe."
"Which way are you going?"
"Go to Pingzhou first."
"Walk over like this?"
Wu Nuxia drew a stroke in the air with bones.
"almost."
"It's very convoluted!"
Wu Nuxia thought for a moment: "But I am also very slow, and I should stay in Changjing for a long time..."
"How long?"
"Finish what I want to do."
"That's it..."
"let me see……"
After saying that, she held up the bone and stood still.
Song You didn't bother her or look at her. He just poked a piece of radish in the bowl with his chopsticks, looked at the calico cat next to him, and then picked up a meaty keel for her.
"so!"
The woman's voice suddenly appeared: "When I arrive in Changjing, I will have no connections there. I won't be able to find any work for a while. I will definitely be very idle. I go to Xicheng Gate every afternoon and dusk. If you and I arrive a month apart, , you can find me. After a month, I will only go there every first day of the new year. You remember to come back before dark on the first day of the new year."
Song You couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
"Are you going every day..."
"What are you thinking? It's only the first month, and I'll go there on the first day of every month."
"I go there on the first day of every month..."
"There are only twelve or three days in a year. I only go around once a day. Anyway, we who are in the world of gangs and lakes are out and about every day."
"..."
Song You couldn't help but feel in a trance.
Only in this era would someone spend a month waiting for a friend, right? In later generations, people seemed so impatient even for an hour.
In fact, after all, he and the heroine in front of him didn't have a deep friendship. They were just destined to have each other, and they both thought that the other party was a rare and trustworthy person. In addition, Song You also thought that she was interesting and had a person in this era. He was a rare soul who was easy to get along with, so he was willing to make friends and become friends with her. As for how she felt about him, he didn't know.
But speaking of it, the two of them don't have many interactions.
Even so, she was willing to do it.
Song You was a little shocked.
This wasn't the way he was known to make friends.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask:
"Why?"
"What why?"
The woman looked at him strangely. She was still holding the bone in her hand, as if she thought it was strange that he was strange, but she just did what was natural.
But I saw Song You's face full of sincerity and confusion:
"First of all, please don't worry too much. It's just that I've been practicing Taoism in the mountains for a long time. It's my first time to go down the mountain and I rarely make friends with people, so I'm confused. Although I'm destined to be with you, it's only a short acquaintance. It's true that when I arrived in Changjing, I had no friends. , you can make new friends easily with just one step, why would you go to the city gate every day just to wait for me?"
"I only went there every day for the first month, and I didn't just wait, I just wandered around. I love wandering around."
The woman corrected her immediately.
"yes."
Song You didn't argue with her about this.
Seeing that his eyes were still sincerely asking for advice, as if saying "Please step down and help me clear up my doubts," the woman continued to answer.
I didn’t think too much, just said what was in my heart:
"You underestimate this world too much. Although we seem to be surrounded by people coming and going every day, actually do the math. How many people do you know with all these people coming and going in one day?"
"good!"
"It's not easy to get to know each other, let alone you and I. We just went to the city gate for a few days. Compared with a person who is not easy to meet, this is nothing." The woman paused, "I heard that in Changjing City There are millions of people living there, otherwise how would you have met me?”
"rational!"
"Remember to come to the West City Gate to look for me. If you find me, I'll treat you to meat again." The woman said, then paused, "Remember it's the West City Gate. In the evening, if you don't find me two times in a row, then you can't find me either. There’s no need to go there anymore, I’m either not in Changjing or I’m begging for death.”
"..."
Song You digested her words and shook his head at the same time and said: "I have already treated you today. If we are destined to meet again in Changjing, it is my turn to treat you again."
"also!"
The woman is not frivolous at all.
When the meal was finished, she called the shopkeeper to pay the bill.
The bones were weighed and the money for the garnishes and processing was included. The shopkeeper quoted a price of 122 fen and charged her 120 fen.
The woman was counting money, feeling very painful in her heart, but calm on the outside.
This meal is expensive, but worth it.
Here’s to a rare fate.
"Farewell."
"See you in Changjing."
The two of them left, one went back to the hotel, the other went to the city, and then they separated.
Not much to say.
But Song You was still filled with emotion.
I have to say that the world in this era is too big and people are too small, so every encounter is precious.
The mountains and rivers are vast and the sea of people is vast. I don’t know how many people have been separated for a lifetime. If friends are far apart and want to reunite again, sometimes they really have to do their best.
It is commonplace for everyone, so it is taken for granted.
But this is anything but ordinary.
