Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh eating rice noodles
The morning dewdrops hang on the leaves and grass one by one, looking very beautiful under the morning glow. Although it is only about seven o'clock in the morning, the streets of Maoming County are already crowded with people, including many farmers who got up early.
People go to the county town to sell vegetables, firewood or mountain products grown in their own vegetable fields, and the whole street presents a prosperous scene.
Lei Shaoya, the new deputy director of the Political Training Department, also washed up and changed into casual clothes. He walked out of the yard and went to a small shop near the security headquarters. He ordered a bowl of beef brisket noodles and ate it slowly.
After coming to Maoming and Guangdong these days, Lei Shaoya also gradually fell in love with the breakfast here, especially the pork offal noodles and beef brisket noodles. The beef brisket that became soft after being stewed overnight has a very mellow taste.
, it simply melts in your mouth when you put it in your mouth. Lei Shaoya completely fell in love with this kind of food after eating it for a few days, so much so that now he has to go to the nearby shop to eat a bowl every morning.
Just as Lei Shaoya was enjoying her meal, she felt someone else sitting down next to her. This small shop is very famous for its rice noodles. It is a time-honored rice noodle shop that has been open for nearly a hundred years, so she comes here for breakfast every morning.
There were a lot of people there, and it was common for three or four people to sit at a table, so Lei Shaoya didn't take it seriously and specifically stepped aside.
Who knew that after the person next to her sat down, she actually took a small bowl and put it in front of her and said: "How can you eat rice noodles without chili? Add some chili and eat it to make the taste more authentic. Don't you want to try it?"
When Lei Shaoya heard this voice, he was startled at first, then stiffened, and slowly turned his head around, and immediately saw a smiling face.
The surprised Lei Shaoya stuttered and asked: "Su... Sir Su, why are you here?"
Lei Shaoya showed a rare look of surprise because the person who came was none other than Su Rui, the current de facto ruler of Maoming, Enping and Yangchun, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fourth Theater Zone, and the youngest second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army.
Su Rui smiled and nodded: "Deputy Director Lei, you can have breakfast here, why can't I have breakfast here? You know, I discovered this place first."
At this time, Lei Shaoya asked a stupid question: "Do you also like to eat rice noodles?"
"Haha..." Su Rui smiled: "Deputy Director Lei, don't forget, I am from Guangxi, and my understanding of rice noodles is not comparable to that of a Northeastern girl like you."
Lei Shaoya was from the Northeast, which was also stated in the file. Lei Shaoya was not surprised that Su Rui could point this out at this moment. So she just nodded and continued to eat breakfast with her head down.
Looking at Lei Shaoya who was eating with gusto, Su Rui said with a smile: "Deputy Director Lei, you only know that this rice noodle is delicious, but I'm afraid you don't know the origin of this rice noodle, right?"
Lei Shaoya raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Oh, would you like to hear the details?"
Su Rui smiled and nodded the rice noodles on the table with his chopsticks and said: "To say that the earliest rice noodles have to be from Guilin. It is said that more than two thousand years ago, King Yingzheng of Qin sent Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 to fight in order to unify China.
In South Vietnam, the Qin army was not accustomed to the local climate and rice, and often suffered from hunger and illness. The cook had to follow the principle of northwest noodles, first swell the rice, grind it into rice pulp, drain the water, and knead it into a dough.
The rice noodles are steamed until half-cooked, and then pounded with a mortar and pestle for a while. Finally, the vermicelli is squeezed out manually and dropped directly into the boiling water pot to cook. The rice noodles are pounded and the noodles squeezed out are stronger. Legend has it that in the old days
Guilin rice noodles can be hung from the second floor and mop the floor without breaking. Its strength can be imagined. The doctor of the Qin army used local Chinese herbal medicine and fried it into an anti-epidemic medicinal soup. Perhaps due to the tension of the war, the soldiers often made rice noodles and medicinal soup.
It was finished in three or two bites together. Over time, the prototype of Guilin rice noodle brine was gradually formed.
Later, rice noodles gradually spread throughout Guangdong and Guangxi. People in various parts of Guangdong and Guangxi made many styles according to their own tastes, including snail and lion rice noodles, horse meat rice noodles, pork offal rice noodles, beef brisket rice noodles, old friend rice noodles, donkey meat rice noodles and many more.
There are nearly a hundred flavors, which is why we are in this situation today."
Lei Shaoya bowed her head and said calmly: "I see, Commander Su is really knowledgeable. I have become more knowledgeable today. Okay, I've eaten. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Lei Shaoya stood up and shouted: "Dude, pay the bill!"
Looking at Lei Shaoya's slender figure, Su Rui seemed to be stunned, staring at her unblinkingly.
Although Lei Shaoya was not facing Su Rui, due to her keen female intuition, she immediately felt the eyes on her body. Her figure paused slightly, and then returned to normal.
At this time, a young waiter ran over, nodded and bowed and said to Lei Shaoya: "Hello, please give me three cents."
Lei Shaoya took out one yuan and handed it to the waiter, and said calmly: "This gentleman's share was also paid."
"Okay, here's your forty cents." The waiter quickly took out forty cents from his greasy apron and handed it to Lei Shaoya.
Lei Shaoya took the money and turned around beautifully, with a half-smile on his lips, and said to Su Rui: "Sir, the rice noodles should be eaten while they are hot. They will not taste good when they are cold!" After saying that, she
He twisted his slender body and walked out gracefully.
After a while, a dark-looking middle-aged man carrying a load of firewood came to the rice noodle shop. He first placed the firewood in front of the door, then ordered a bowl of rice noodles and sat next to Suri.
Started to eat.
At this time, Su Rui had almost finished his bowl of noodles, and then said in a very low voice: "Go and check the clerk in this store. If my estimate is correct, this clerk must be new.
But be careful not to alert the enemy, and pay attention to monitoring the target to see her daily movements."
After Su Rui finished speaking, without waiting for an answer, he stood up and said loudly: "Man, give me three more bowls of beef brisket noodles worth three ounces, and a bowl of pork offal noodles worth two ounces. Pack them all up and I'll take them away.
!”
"Okay!"
Soon the waiter ran over with a smile, handed Su Rui a big box, and said in proficient Mandarin: "Take it, Chenghui one yuan and a dime."
Su Rui smiled and handed the money to the clerk, and then slowly walked home. However, after he left the rice noodle shop, several unnoticed figures quickly followed him from hidden corners.
he.
Su Rui came to the house and handed the breakfast she bought to Song Ziqing, who had already gotten up. After a while, Xu Yaoshan and Yang Peile kissed their precious son on the face again, then put on their military uniforms and stood in front of more than a dozen guards.
The escort got into the car and went to the office of the nearby security headquarters building.
Not long after Su Rui sat down, Liang Zhi knocked on the door and walked in. As soon as he came in, he asked: "Sir, did you meet the new Deputy Director Lei when you were having breakfast this morning?"
"Yes!" Su Rui smiled, "It seems that our Chairman Chiang's tentacles are still very long. I don't have many hobbies. I didn't expect them to find out so soon. It's not easy.
!”
Liang Zhi frowned and asked: "Sir, did you just ask someone to investigate the rice noodle shop guy?"
Su Rui nodded slightly: "Don't you think it's strange that a waiter who speaks Mandarin so smoothly suddenly appeared in a local rice noodle shop?"
"Yeah!" Liang Zhi nodded: "That's true, but since our Miss Lei is so capable, it's not a big deal to find a few subordinates to connect with her in a short period of time. Why, do you want this Deputy Lei to do it?"
Are the director and that "guy" arrested?"
Su Rui smiled and waved her hand, "Forget it, it's not easy for our Deputy Director Lei to come to Maoming alone. It's not good for us not to give her face. We'd better keep this guy and make sure people monitor her more."
That would be great. If we really remove all the military agents here, Director Dai will go crazy."
After saying that, Su Rui sighed in a low voice as if he didn't know what was going on, and changed the subject: "Zi Ran, has there been any movement in Japan lately?"
There was a hint of coldness in Liang Zhi's eyes, "On the surface, there were no changes on the Japanese side, but our intelligence personnel reported that the Japanese secretly mobilized the 48th Division from Guangzhou and secretly rushed to Jiangmen.
The Japanese aircraft carriers Kaga and Hosho are also wandering off the coast of Enping, so I guess the Japanese are going to make some big move."
"Yes, the Japanese are always unwilling to be honest. I have been prepared for this." Su Rui's eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and after a while he said: "Ziran, tell the officer stationed in Enping immediately.
Bai Jingran asked him to order the 400th Division to prepare to prevent a sudden Japanese attack. Also, has Enping's radar station been built?"
Liang Zhi shook his head and said: "Not yet, it will probably take another week to be completed and put into use."
"Hurry, we don't have much time to wait anymore. If the Japanese suddenly launch an attack on Enping, their planes will definitely not be idle. Tell the engineer battalion that I will give them four more days to build the radar station."
good!"
"I understand, please do your business." After Liang Zhi finished speaking, he was about to walk out, but when he got outside the door, he stopped again and said, "Sir, I still feel that Deputy Director Lei..."
Su Rui waved her hand and interrupted Liang Zhi: "I know this, don't touch her yet!"
"Okay!" Liang Zhi sighed and went out.
When Liang Zhi closed the door, Su Rui took out a picture frame from the drawer. On it was a group photo of a couple. Su Rui looked at the picture frame, with a faint bitter smile on his lips, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "
Rui'er, are you okay there? I disappeared for a few years. You should have a new boyfriend, and maybe even get married. In an era without war, you should be happy, right? It's just that I can't see you anymore.
I can’t see you anymore!”
After saying that, Su Rui slowly put the frame back into the drawer. The moment the drawer was closed, the girl's appearance disappeared from his sight. Her awe-inspiring appearance was that of Lei Shaoya, who was a few years younger...
