It was close to ten o'clock when we arrived at Chongqing Airport. Yu Min had already informed the company in Chongqing that represents Siemens Medical Equipment, and they sent a car to wait for us at the airport.
"The Affiliated Hospital of the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing is using our products. We will arrange for you to stay in a hotel in Shapingba tonight. Shapingba is very close to the Third Military Medical University. It will be convenient for you to go to the hospital tomorrow." The person who came to pick us up told us.
we say.
"I heard that Chongqing's hot pot is very delicious. Can you still eat it now?" Yu Min asked.
"Okay. There are thousands of hot pot restaurants in Chongqing, and many of them are open all night. How about this, I will take you there after you settle down later," the man said.
"It's so late, let's talk tomorrow. I'm just asking. Director Feng has a full day of work today, so let him go to bed early." Yu Min said.
However, when we checked into the hotel, after the man left, she immediately knocked on the door of my room and said, "Brother Feng, let's go find hot pot."
Originally, I was about to call Zhuang Qing, but when I came here, I decided to contact her at noon tomorrow, mainly because I wanted to give her a surprise. Although I couldn't bear it now, Yu Min's suggestion made me stop hesitating.
.Because I also yearn for the taste of Chongqing hot pot.
So I walked out of the hotel with her. Her hand was in my arm.
The night in Chongqing is beautiful, the lights are bright, and although it is very late now, there are still many pedestrians on the street. Shapingba is the cultural district of Chongqing, and there are many universities here. This is the only concept I have of this place. But I can’t think of it.
This place is still so prosperous at this late hour. And I found that this place is full of high-rise buildings, and it does not have as wide a view as we do in Jiangnan, because after Yu Min and I left the hotel, we immediately felt like we were enveloped in a sea of high-rise buildings.
, there are still tall buildings in front of me, and there are still bright lights except for bright lights. I look up at the sky, and I can't see anything in the dark sky. But I hear Yu Min saying in my ears: "Brother Feng, look, there are so many beauties in Chongqing."
"
Only then did I take a closer look at the pedestrians in front of me. I found that there were really many beauties in front of me, and of course there were handsome guys. But women generally have good figures. Of course, the majority are ordinary people. Because beauties are conspicuous, and there are also handsome men.
In addition, the proportion of beautiful women is relatively more than that in Jiangnan, so people feel that their eyes can't help but shine. And I also found that the women in Chongqing are very fashionable. Even in such a cold winter, some of them wear
There are still many skirts.
"Brother Feng, why don't you just transfer here to work? The male obstetrics and gynecology doctors here will definitely be happy to work." Yu Min said to me with a smile.
"You." I smiled bitterly, "Yu Min, am I so miserable in your eyes?"
"I'm kidding you. Why don't you have a sense of humor at all?" She said, then kissed me on the cheek, and then gently held my earlobe with her lips.
My heart trembled, and I quickly tilted my head to the other side of her, "Yu Min, don't do this. This is the street."
She chuckled in my ear, "My brother Feng, what are you afraid of? Who knows you and me in Chongqing? Don't you think so?"
I also laughed immediately, feeling that I was indeed too timid and reserved. Then I stretched out my hand to hold her waist. Her body immediately nestled in my arms. Just like that, the two of us were together.
Strolling slowly among the crowds of people, while admiring the endless beautiful night lights of this strange city.
"Brother Feng, it would be better if you were not married." Her soft voice suddenly came to my ears, and it sounded like weeping.
"Why did you remember this?" I asked immediately after being startled.
"I am a woman, and I always like to have wishful thinking." She sighed, "If you are not married yet, the two of us will come to live in this city together. No one here knows us, and we don't know anyone here. This way.
We can start our lives again."
Of course I understood what she meant, because she had a past that she couldn't bear to look back on. I smiled and said: "Yu Min, it's very simple. Just ask the company here in Chongqing to help you introduce a young man from Chongqing to be your boyfriend."
?"
"Now that I'm scarred, how can I still trust a man casually?" She sighed.
"Yu Min, have you ever thought about it? Why are you like this?" I asked her.
"Brother Feng, please don't talk about this matter, okay? I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want to think about my past. Now I only know one thing, that is to change myself and my past through my own efforts. Brother Feng
, I'm hungry, let's go ask where there is hot pot?" Her voice was painful at first, but then became cheerful.
I couldn't help sighing, and then smiled bitterly. However, I also felt that what I just said was a bit embarrassing.
She let go of my arm, and then ran to a pair of young men and women holding hands. I heard her asking: "Hello, is there a hot pot restaurant somewhere near here?"
"It's not far ahead." The girl pointed enthusiastically and said. Yu Min couldn't help but thank her, and then came back to me and took my arm again.
"How do you ask them? Aren't you disturbing others' love affairs?" I asked her with a smile.
"Only those who are in love are in a good mood will tell me the truth." She said to me with a smile.
I laughed, "That makes sense."
She gently held my earlobe in her mouth again, "Brother, are you in a good mood now?"
My heart suddenly trembled again.
In fact, the hot pot restaurant is not in front, but after turning to the right in front. This place is on another branch road, and the hot pot restaurant is right next to the road. The neon sign and the store are very ordinary, a bit like our roadside stalls in Jiangnan.
.But I was surprised that there were still many people eating inside so late.
However, just now when we turned the corner, we already smelled a strange fragrance. This is a special fragrance that is difficult to describe in words. There is a fragrance in the air that can make people want to slander.
The smell, and that smell can arouse all the tastes of people, and can also make people imagine the deliciousness of all food. In short, it is a wonderful smell and feeling that can penetrate deep into people's internal organs.
The two of us found an empty seat and sat down, and a waiter came over immediately to ask us to order. Yu Min and I were at a loss. Suddenly, I saw a man and a woman sitting at a table, eating heartily. So I said
Yu Min said: "Bring the menu over and ask them to order for you."
The waiter next to him suddenly laughed, "This must be your first time in Chongqing, right? Can I help you order?"
I was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
The waiter quickly took our order, then brought an iron pot and put it on the table, and then lit the fire under the iron pot. There was a red piece inside the iron pot, full of oil, floating on the oil.
There was a layer of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns that had just been put in. I looked at them and couldn't help but be shocked: How can I eat so many chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns?
Fortunately, I felt relieved after a while. Because after the pot was boiled, the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns were immediately mixed into the oil soup. They rolled with the oil soup. They looked very beautiful and the fragrance was even better.
It became thicker. My index finger suddenly moved.
The waiter was very enthusiastic. She introduced us to the way to eat hot pot. She said: "There are two types of hot pot dishes. One is hot, which means you use chopsticks to hold the dishes and cook them in the pot. The key is to first understand
Which vegetables are suitable for blanching and which ones should not be blanched. Generally speaking, vegetables with tender and crisp texture that are cooked immediately are suitable for blanching, such as fish fillets, meat slices, kidney slices, liver slices, duck intestines, pea sprouts, spinach, water spinach, etc.;
Ingredients with a tight texture that are not easy to cook in an instant need to be blanched for a while, such as tripe, chicken and duck gizzards, onions, garlic, ring throat, kelp, etc.; some ingredients that are not easy to be blanched, such as chicken scratch, duck feet, and meatballs
, sea cucumbers, tendons, etc. must be cooked. Secondly, observe the changes in the soup. When the soup is boiling, it can be scalded; when there is enough fat on the soup, it can be scalded, so that it tastes delicious and can be kept warm.
Thirdly, the heat must be controlled. If the heat is too high, the food will be stale; if the heat is not enough, the food will be raw. What kind of heat is appropriate? You only need to boil it a few times and experience the changes in the soup, the size, nature and maturity of the ingredients.
It can be mastered. Also, you must hold the food firmly when hot, otherwise it will fall into the pot. One will be overcooked, and the other will be boiled and cannot be picked up. The former is like a tripe, and the latter is like a fish fillet. Authentic Chongqing hot pot has one layer
Thick red peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and red oil float on the surface, which makes it spicy but not dry. Chongqing hot pot is very fragrant, the butter is fragrant, and the spiciness is also fragrant..."
The waiter said a lot, but we only remembered a small part. But the taste of this place is really good. I feel that the hot pot is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life. Yu Min also said the same.
At the waiter's suggestion, we drank Chongqing's Shancheng beer. The waiter said that this beer is paired with Chongqing hot pot, so drinking it will not cause you to get angry.
Yu Min and I drank four bottles each. Yu Min asked me with a smile: "Have you read Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
I replied: "I have seen it. Why did you suddenly remember this?"
"Once the love flowers in Jueqing Valley sting someone, there is no cure. Only the heartbroken grass growing under the love flowers is the antidote. Just like this Chongqing hot pot and this mountain city beer. Brother Feng, let me see, you
You must come to Chongqing to see your lover, right? She is your love flower, and you have been poisoned. I will be your heartbroken grass. How about I detoxify you tonight?" She has already drank it.
Drunk, she held a glass of wine and said to me with charming eyes.
The look in her eyes made me intoxicated. The hand holding the wine glass suddenly shook, and I spilled more than half of the beer inside...
My room in the hotel was full of spring scenery.
When I woke up the next day, I regretted it terribly.
Feng Xiao, why are you like this? Why are you like this? Chen Yuan's tearful eyes suddenly appeared in my mind, and I suddenly had the urge to cry.
Why is this happening? Is it because Chen Yuan is pregnant and I haven’t vented for a long time? Or is it because of the excitement and joy after the color ultrasound examination project was successful? Or is it because I helped Yu Min that I want to ask her for such a reward?
I don't understand, I really don't understand, and I only feel regret.
There is another thing that makes me feel strange. After I married Chen Yuan, although I had relationships with other women many times, I rarely regretted it like I do now. I don’t know because I hate Yu Min.
The reason is because I have a real sense of responsibility for Chen Yuan. (To be continued)
