Chapter 62 Treating Guests
In the evening, there were cars on the road. Qin Feng walked through the streets and alleys all the way north. After walking for nearly 20 minutes, he finally saw the brightly lit Oujiang River on the other side. When there was no place to go, Qin Feng always liked to come here to see it, miss the past, and also ate a bowl of fish ball noodles that he had been very passionate about since childhood.
The old noodle restaurant with authentic craftsmanship is located in a small alley specially approved for preservation on Jiangbin Avenue.
The small alley is called Dongmen Lane. Ten years later, Dongmen Lane has developed into a famous gathering place for young people in the city of Dongou City. In addition to various cheap coffee bars, bars and teahouses, it also brings together COSPLAY, sand paintings, homemade soaps, carpentry and other things, which are very popular among young people.
But now, the pure style of the old house is still retained here.
The roads in the alley are paved with bluestones, and some pebbles are sporadically dotted between the stone slabs. Because the humidity is heavy these days, the stone slabs are covered with furry moss. When walking on it, you must carefully control the center of gravity to avoid slipping.
Most of the houses on both sides of the alley are antique secondary yards, and the houses are all made of wooden structures. Various wires meet from the low eaves to form a complex and dazzling network of lines.
In front of the windows that are open upstairs, each household is drying clothes, and some of them are even hung directly on the wires. The method is very dangerous, but it also has an inexplicable human touch.
Qin Feng walked along the alley for two or three minutes and then arrived at the fish ball shop that he had been dreaming about for many years. In Qin Feng's memory, he had never come here to eat noodles since his second year of high school. When he remembered again one day many years later, Dongmen Lane was no longer the Dongmen Lane I remembered, and the fish ball shop had long disappeared into the great changes that had changed.
The aunt who was holding the spoon saw Qin Feng walk into the store, smiled slightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
"My home is too far from here." Qin Feng said lightly, and found a seat to sit down.
The business in the store is not as good as Qin Feng imagined. It was obviously a meal time, but he was the only customer.
"Are you still put mackerel?" The aunt seemed to have extraordinary memories and could remember the taste of every guest who had eaten noodles here.
Qin Feng nodded and sighed: "This alley is too far off."
The aunt naturally understood what Qin Feng meant and said with a smile: "There is no way, now the shops on the street can't afford to rent."
Qin Feng nodded.
After a while, the aunt brought the hot noodles. Qin Feng first tasted the clear soup made with fish balls. The fresh and fragrant taste made his appetite suddenly.
After eating a large bowl of noodles in a few bites, I took out a 10 yuan note and handed it over, but I even found 5 yuan.
"Grandma, you sell so cheaply, you will definitely not be able to rent a good store." Qin Feng took the change and joked.
The old lady wrote helplessly on her face and said with a wry smile: "It's all old customers, I'm sorry to raise the price, I can almost guarantee the capital."
Qin Feng sighed in his heart. Some businessmen are not businessmen at all, but craftsmen. Craftsmen do business, just like technicians who run businesses, either flying dragons are in the sky or corpses are gone.
Qin Feng wanted to reveal the news about the broken houses in the back alley of the No. 18 Middle School to his aunt, but when he said that, he held back. Everyone has their own life. It is better to have less than more things. Don’t get involved in other things.
I filled my stomach and left Dongmen Lane. The opposite of the alley is the Jiangbin Plaza, which the district government has built for 5 years.
The weather is not hot now, and the square is far less lively than summer, with only a few children screaming and running wildly.
Qin Feng crossed the road and walked to the square to continue his nostalgia. After wandering around, he felt that there was nothing to miss and couldn't help but smiled mockingly.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already half past 6:30. He thought that his father and his prospective stepmother should have gone out, so he planned to go home first. But just took a few steps, a few young people came across the street, including three men and four women, one of them, which made Qin Feng change his course in an instant.
"Su Tang." Qin Feng walked straight over to her.
I don’t know if it was agreed by the mother and daughter, but Su Tang’s dress today is slightly different from usual.
She was wearing ordinary casual clothes instead of old school uniforms. Although the clothes themselves had no highlights, they made Su Tang's slender figure look very eye-catching, with long legs, thin waist and large-scale chests all showing out. She tied her long hair into a big bun, Liu Hai also turned it up, confidently exposing her forehead, making people look quite refreshed. She should have had some light makeup on her face. When Qin Feng approached, she could smell the powdery smell on Su Tang's body that was very similar to tofu Xishi.
Su Tang, who was chatting with his classmates, suddenly met Qin Feng and didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing Qin Feng walking up to him with a smile, he was stunned for 2 seconds before he came up with a suitable word, squeezed out a smile, and said, "What a coincidence."
Qin Feng could feel the awkwardness of the atmosphere. After all, his relationship with Su Tang is only slightly higher than a nod. The little girl went out to play with a group of classmates and inexplicably met a person who was unfamiliar, and she would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
In principle, Qin Feng was very reluctant to be someone else's light bulb, but if the object was changed to Su Tang, it must be a different matter.
"Come out with classmates?" Qin Feng asked nonsense.
Su Tang reached out and pointed to another little beauty standing next to her and said, "Student Day."
Qin Feng immediately said to the little beauty: "Happy birthday."
The little beauty smiled happily and said, "Thank you."
Qin Feng immediately turned his gaze back to Su Tang, making it as familiar as Su Tang, and then asked easily and comfortably: "Are you going to have a meal now?"
Su Tang was actually chatting with acquaintances by Qin Feng. He shook his head and explained: "I just finished eating and am ready to go sing."
Qin Feng continued to smile and gossip: "I finished it so early, you are very efficient."
A boy following Su Tang finally couldn't stand anymore. He took a step forward, blocking Su Tang and Qin Feng with a clear mind, and asked, "Su Tang, who is he?"
Su Tang was immediately stopped.
How should she introduce Qin Feng?
Customer? It’s so funny. At most, it’s a customer who comes to buy dried tofu every day. What kind of customer is this?
Alumni? It’s even more funny. There are thousands of people in the school, and everyone is an alumni. Is it good?
So...friend? But she and Qin Feng can't talk about any friendship at all!
"He is..." Su Tang stammered, struggling for a long time and couldn't answer.
Qin Feng was helpless and could only introduce himself: "My name is Qin Feng, who sells skewers at the back alley of No. 18 Middle School."
Su Tang's classmates suddenly realized and finally recognized Qin Feng.
"Oh... it's you, no wonder it looks so familiar!"
"Didn't others call you Brother Nan? Why are you called Qin Feng?"
"I went to your stall to buy something!"
Several girls immediately started chattering.
Qin Feng laughed and said happily: "You guys are going to sing, right? Add me one."
As soon as these words came out, the boy standing between Qin Feng and Su Tang immediately frowned. The other people were all silent. Obviously, including Su Tang, these people were not willing to bring Qin Feng with them. Several people turned their eyes to Su Tang. Su Tang looked at Qin Feng with an expression of embarrassment: "Qin Feng, we still want to ourselves..."
