Chapter 311: Meeting an Old Classmate by Coincidence
She found a well-known local Xiao Ji Noodle House, bought a ticket and went to the window to wait.
The room was filled with the aroma of pasta, and her stomach growled, making her lower her head in embarrassment.
Henan's braised noodles are as famous as Tianjin's twists, Shanxi's vinegar, and Shandong's pancakes in the land of China. The history of Henan people's love for noodles can be traced back to the time when a Hui mother and her son were rescued from distress before Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, relying on a bowl of "four different" soup.
The stewed ramen noodles eliminated the cold illness and successfully recovered, and finally created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Emperor Wu Zetian improved it and changed the Sibei soup into goat soup, thus achieving the glory of Henan Braised Noodles.
In the transparent operating room, Gu Mengmeng looked at the master chef with interest. The thin dough sheets stretched into long thin strips in a blink of an eye. It looked like a musician conducting music, or a magician performing superb skills.
.The white pieces of dough were flying up and down, like a flying dragon, like colorful silk playing with flowers, dancing like a dragon and Qiu Jin. It was put into the pot in an instant. Before you could see what was going on, the noodles were already cooked.
The soup is white and delicious, the noodles are smooth and chewy, put on a few large pieces of mutton, supplemented by shredded seaweed, shredded tofu, vermicelli, coriander, quail eggs, etc., and serve it in a special large ceramic bowl with blue flowers. Take it out when it is served.
Small dishes of coriander, chili oil, sugared garlic, sesame paste, salt, MSG, etc. are placed at the bottom of the bowl. Use chopsticks to pick it up before eating. The tangy aroma immediately seduce all the appetites in the body.
She took the tray to an empty seat in the corner and was about to start eating.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from above his head.
"Gu Meng--Meng?"
She looked up in astonishment with her mouth open, and found a gentle man wearing glasses, looking at her in surprise.
Why does it feel so familiar!
He looks like his high school classmate...named Mo...named Mo...
"Mo Qingchen, from Class 4!" He was actually a little shy.
Yes, Mo Qingchen.
The man with glasses who once caused a sensation in the whole school made her the famous love letter heroine of the middle school attached to her. The 999 wishful love letters made her hate him so much that she tore them up and rushed to the seat in the next class to throw them in his face.
The boss still couldn't understand his hatred and scolded him for being sentimental, ignoring her feelings and ruining her reputation.
At that time, the whole school was aware of the incident and it was an uproar. Every student looked at her and Mo Qingchen, who had not spoken a few words, with colored glasses. Later, the Education Committee learned about the incident and personally sent an investigation team to the school to rectify the school spirit.
After setting the record straight, the facts were quickly found out. Mo Qingchen GameOver left the high school and transferred to another school. The heroine of the incident continued to face the evil college entrance examination.
Many years.
They have never met each other.
At a recent high school reunion, someone mentioned the man with glasses, saying that he had just returned from studying at a foreign research institution and had now become the youngest candidate for academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Speaking of the man with glasses’ current glory, it was natural to mention high school.
During that unbearable past, a classmate asked Gu Mengmeng if she regretted missing a quality man now. She smiled and said that if time went back to the beginning, she would still reject him, but she would not use such fierce methods again.
The method is to drive him out and eliminate him quickly!
She actually wanted to say to the man with glasses: "I'm sorry."
It's really strange to think about fate. The classmates who met each other and got along day and night, because of the exposure of their unrequited love, almost tragically ended their lives, thinking that there would never be a chance of them meeting again in this life. Unexpectedly, in the steaming noodle restaurant, the two of them unexpectedly met.
Random encounter on a narrow road.
Mo Qingchen ordered braised noodles and some snacks, and sat down opposite Gu Mengmeng very calmly.
He pushed the exquisite snacks towards Gu Mengmeng and said with a smile: "Please eat!"
Gu Mengmeng was not polite, picked up a piece of puff pastry and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she asked him: "Mo Qingchen, why are you here."
He pushed up his glasses, revealing his narrow, bookish eyes, and said, "The Chinese Academy of Sciences has a research project here, and I'm in charge of it."
The tone was light, not unnatural or deliberately showing off, just like meeting an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, explaining my situation.
She blinked and gave him a slightly ashamed smile.
"I really didn't expect to meet you here. Mo Qingchen, I owe you a word. I have owed you a word for more than ten years and I have always felt uneasy. Now that I can meet you, it just fulfills my wish."
She took a breath and said sincerely in a slow tone: "I'm sorry. I apologize to you for my recklessness and impulsiveness back then."
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly.
Waving his hands, as if he was a returnee from overseas, he said: "Why are you bringing up those past events? Everything has passed, and I am fine now. If it weren't for your determination back then, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. After all,
, instead I want to say thank you."
"How dare you do that?"
"In this case, none of us should mention it anymore. Just think of it as a gathering of old classmates, and let me realize a dream I had originally. Can I treat you to a meal?"
He looked at her.
She thought about it and felt it was fair, so she nodded.
The awkward atmosphere was eliminated, and what was left became much more comfortable.
In a strange city, with the strong wind and cold, it is one of the great joys in the world to have a long conversation in a street restaurant with an old classmate who records the past years.
Through getting to know Mo Qingchen, Gu Mengmeng learned about Mo Qingchen’s wife who stayed in Beijing, his college classmate and the famous Chinese nutritionist Cai Huafen. His wife is two years older than him, and the two have a deep relationship. It can be said that the husband sings and the wife follows, and everyone
Admire.
Mo Qingchen had seen reports in newspapers and on the Internet about Gu Mengmeng's honorable return, and admired her achievements and optimistic and dedicated spirit. After asking about her work, he smiled and asked about her marriage.
Gu Mengmeng smiled and said: "He is also a soldier, in the Beijing Military Region."
"It's so glorious to be a two-military family! When we were young, such families were protected by the government." Mo Qingchen joked with a smile.
Gu Mengmeng smiled faintly, glanced at the calm mobile phone inadvertently, and said nothing.
