After the plane arrived in Xi'an, it was already evening. They had booked a hotel in advance, so they went directly to the hotel to stay.
The time agreed with the boss is three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so I can rest peacefully tonight. Even if I don't have a good rest, it doesn't matter. I can get up later tomorrow.
After checking into the hotel, Tianqiu couldn't help but think of the time when he and Hairuo were in Siya. Although they had asked for two rooms at that time, the two of them had always lived in the same room! Thinking of the beautiful scenery at that time, Tianqiu couldn't help but feel in his heart.
swing.
But he soon reminded himself that the person living next door was not Hai Ruo but Murong, so he couldn't have any wrong ideas. Thinking of Hai Ruo, he quickly made a phone call to report that he was safe.
The two chatted for a while, until Murong knocked on the door and hung up the phone.
Tianqiu felt warm in his heart, and it felt so good to have someone caring about him! Although he had to call to say that he was safe and say a few nonsense words, he was not as free and easy as before. But it was this kind of concern, but it was the true love in the world that money could not buy! In the past,
His girlfriend is always around, and has never been so far away, and he hasn't felt it carefully, so he doesn't have that feeling.
Murong was still knocking on the door outside, and Tianchou quickly went over and opened the door.
The two of them said they had settled down and then went to eat. Just now Murong suggested going to the night market to eat snacks, because she thought it would be a pity not to eat some authentic local snacks once it was a rare visit.
Tianqiu knew that Murong did not have high requirements for food, clothing and enjoyment. She would suggest this. In addition to wanting to eat authentic snacks, another reason was probably because she wanted to save a little. After all, she always advocated spending money where it is most needed.
, instead of eating, drinking and having fun.
The two of them were not familiar with the local area, so when they came out of the hotel, they could only ask the taxi driver to take them to the local snack and night market. The taxi driver had long been used to this kind of request from tourists, so he took them to the four east, west, north and south streets in Xi'an.
Near the clock tower at the intersection of the streets, this area is famous for its various snacks.
Tianqiu had never traveled far, and his knowledge of local customs and snacks was really limited. Murong also didn't know much about Xi'an's snacks. In order not to be disappointed, Tianqiu asked the driver in the car, and the driver introduced them to them such as
Authentic snacks such as Xi'an Liangpi, Xi'an Roujiamo, five-spice donkey meat, mutton steamed buns, traditional meat with sand, Qin Dynasty tile fish, northwest-flavored fried lamb chops, and fried noodles.
After getting off the bus, Murong was very happy and looked at the bustling crowd. In addition to locals, most of them were tourists from other places, and there were even many foreigners.
Tianqiu also left behind the clients he was going to meet tomorrow, and walked around with Murong. First he found a place to eat some cold skin to appetize.
"What should I do? There are so many delicious foods. If I'm full first, I won't be able to eat anymore!" Murong felt a little regretful and suggested: "How about we just have one portion?"
Tianqiu quickly said: "It would be better if we eat less. People think we are stingy if we ask for a portion!"
Murong didn't say anything else.
It’s not that Tianqiu minded sharing a meal with Murong, he was just worried that others would think he had no money. In fact, there were many couples who shared a meal. The problem was that they were not lovers, and there was still some psychological distance between them.
I have eaten Liangpi before, but I don’t think it is as authentic as here: although it only has a few seasonings, it does not taste just sour or salty, but has one part sweet, one part salty, one part sour, and fragrant.
not spicy.
Although it felt great, it is human nature to be greedy and greedy for new things. Both of them felt that other foods would be more delicious, and they really couldn't bear to let themselves be full without finishing the representative ones.
The word "explosion" is enough to arouse your imagination for the fragrant fried lamb chops. The color of the lamb chops is black and red and translucent. The meat is cooked so tender that you can scrape off a piece with just a roll of your tongue. It almost "melts in your mouth".
a feeling of.
There is also "Roujiamo". Roujiamo should actually be called Mojiarou: small sesame cakes baked in white flour, with minced and juicy pork shreds sandwiched in the middle, just like a sandwich, and there is also minced meat.
Mixed with raw coriander and raw pepper, one bite makes you feel the freshness and flavor. It is really a feast for the eyes...
After eating the fried lamb chops and steamed buns, we went to the famous "Jia San Tang Bao" shop to eat steamed buns. I didn't know how many soup dumplings we ate. Finally, both of them gave up once.
After tasting all the snacks, my stomach couldn't bear it, so I had to wait until next time to eat mutton steamed buns or something.
"Wow, baby noodles? What do you mean? Baby?" Tianqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw a very strange noodle name written on the signboard of a store.
"This is not the character for treasure." Murong looked at it. Although it looked a bit like the traditional Chinese character for treasure, it was not. It was more complicated than the characters for "luck in wealth and treasure" that were hung during the Chinese New Year. "It's very rare. I don't know what it's called either."
What word."
"No way?" Tianqiu laughed, "Are you as uneducated as me?"
Murong pursed his lips and smiled, "What's so strange about this? I don't know everything."
"However, this word is really strange! Look at that guy, there are not hundreds of strokes but there are just strokes. I bet it's not even in the dictionary. It must be a word made by the locals themselves!" Tianqiu pondered for a moment.
"Probably, it may be a word based on the dialect here." Murong didn't quite understand either.
Seeing the two of them pointing at the door, someone immediately came out of the store and asked, "Do you two want to eat biáng biáng noodles?"
"What do you call this noodle?" Tianchou asked curiously.
"The biáng biáng noodles are very famous. Are you foreign tourists? You must try it!" The shop owner greeted enthusiastically.
"Uh... no need! Let's try your... bangbang noodles another day when we have time? Right?"
Tianqiu also wanted to tell the noodle shop owner about the origin and writing of this strange word. Murong felt a little embarrassed that he was disturbing his business by not going to where he was spending money, so he quickly pulled him away.
Now that the two of them had eaten and had nothing to do, they took a walk along the streets of the night market, among the many tourists.
Unexpectedly, neither of them spoke, they just walked slowly side by side.
Being on a strange street in a foreign land gave both of them an indescribable feeling in their hearts. It was a feeling of tranquility, a sense of novelty, uneasiness, and a little hesitation that could not even be expressed in words.
"It seems that we...have never tried such a leisurely walk?" After walking for a while, Tianqiu finally couldn't help but break the silence with a smile and said. "I used to have a lot of time. When I see you again, I will
It has started to be very busy.”
"Well." Murong said in a low voice, "I haven't taken a walk like this for a long time. I have been very busy before... I may be very busy in the future. Ha, it is really rare!"
Tianqiu suddenly remembered that fable. If one day he was really rich, would he really have time to leisurely bask in the sun on the beach? Is the objective environment allowed?
Just thinking about it for a moment, Tian Qiu changed his mind. Even if he is busy, he is willing to continue to be busy like this. This kind of busyness and tiredness is fulfilling. Compared with the empty leisure before, it is better to make progress.
"Huh?" Tianqiu said suddenly, and then said to Murong: "You stand there and wait for me."
By the time Murong reacted, Tianqiu had already run away, and her eyes quickly searched for Tianqiu.
Tianqiu quickly ran to the back, and then came back soon.
"What are you doing? Did you encounter any strange words again?" Murong smiled lightly.
Tianqiu shook his head and looked into her bright eyes with a smile.
"What are you doing? Is there oil on my face?" Being stared at by Tianqiu, Murong couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. He quickly reached out and touched his pretty face. He also wanted to cover up the shyness on his face, right?
"Qin Murong, look what this is?" Tianqiu said loudly.
Tianqiu used to call Qin Murong by his first name when he was a child, but now after the reunion, he calls him only Murong. Suddenly, he calls her first and last name together, which makes Murong a little uncomfortable. She looked over quickly, "What's wrong?..."
"Haha, I'll give you a bunch of candied haws on a stick! Haven't you always been thinking about it before?" Tianqiu handed over a bunch of red candied haws on a stick.
Looking at the candied haws in Tianqiu's hand, Murong's thoughts were suddenly brought back to his childhood...
They grew up in an orphanage. They have to pay for the children's living and study expenses. The orphanage is already stretched thin. How can there be pocket money for them? Therefore, ordinary children's toys, snacks, etc., even if they are cheap, are not enough for them.
For them, it is just a fantasy.
There was a time when Murong was very greedy for candied haws, and wanted to taste the alluring bright red color, but never had the chance. At that time, Tianyou was annoyed by her, so he promised her that he would find a way to buy it for her. Later, he forgot about it.
, until he left the orphanage, Murong's wish was not fulfilled.
Today, Murong and I were shopping and walking alone here, leaving behind all other pressures, which made him feel very relaxed. Suddenly he saw a candied haws seller passing by, and Tianqiu's mind suddenly recalled what he said a long, long time ago.
"What for? You don't want to eat it when you grow up?" Tianqiu looked at Murong's silent expression, smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one here knows you, no one will laugh at you, just be a little kid for once
My child, this can be regarded as fulfilling a wish I promised you before."
Murong pursed her lips tightly and looked at Tianqiu without making a sound. Her thoughts were very complicated.
"No?...It doesn't matter!" Tianqiu saw that she had no intention of asking for it. He raised his hand and was about to throw away the candied haws in his hand.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Murong quickly grabbed Tianqiu's hand, snatched the candied haws from his hand, and said a little emotionally: "Who said I don't want it anymore?"
