On the first morning in Hangzhou, Zhang Hongcheng woke up because he was hungry.
Chu Miaohong arrived earlier than he expected. Just as he put on his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
I don’t know if it was Zhang Hongcheng’s illusion.
Ever since meeting Chu Miaohong's mother yesterday, his girlfriend's attitude towards him seemed to have become closer.
Chu Miaohong reached out and rubbed Zhang Hongcheng's belly with a smile.
"Are you hungry? Come on, I'll take you to eat some real Hangzhou snacks."
Her water chestnut-like fingers tapped her boyfriend's chest lightly.
"I don't know where you got that idea that Hangzhou is a food desert, but I'm sure you'll be stuffed to the gills today."
Zhang Hongcheng agreed with this - he was so hungry that he would probably think the grass tasted delicious if he was taken to eat it.
The van was driving slowly on the streets of Hangzhou. Chu Miaohong, who was responsible for giving directions, looked at Zhang Hongcheng who was driving seriously from time to time.
During this period, she discovered another good thing about her boyfriend: he was very polite when driving and always let pedestrians and cyclists pass first.
And according to her observation, this man was definitely not pretending, because he was quite skilled in making way.
There is no car on the streets of Hangzhou like Zhang Hongcheng, driving at high speed and honking the horn loudly. Pedestrians and cyclists consciously avoid these cars.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and pedestrians and bicycles can be seen everywhere on the streets. Zhang Hongcheng dare not be careless.
After letting a group of people crossing the road pass, he raised his brows. Hey, he saved another three cents and two hundred yuan!
He had no idea that Chu Miaohong was looking at him with interest.
The destination that Chu Miaohong took Zhang Hongcheng to was called Gongchen Bridge.
They parked the van in front of a propaganda stand, and Chu Miaohong led him into an alley. According to her, there was a restaurant there that made super delicious dumplings.
Hangzhou Xiaolongbao?
Zhang Hongcheng, who was already hungry, immediately became interested.
In later times, it was a shop comparable in scale to Shaxian snacks.
Before he even reached the entrance of the alley, Zhang Hongcheng was completely convinced that the buns in this shop must be delicious, because the people queuing up had already left the alley.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and many families come here to eat dumplings.
Zhang Hongcheng was just about to queue up when Chu Miaohong secretly pulled his hand and slipped past through the back street.
I followed my girlfriend around in a daze and arrived at a gate on a low wall.
Chu Miaohong shouted a few times through the crack in the door.
"Aifen, Aifen~!"
The wooden door was quickly opened, and a round-faced girl with traces of white flour on her face and sleeves opened the door in surprise.
"Miaohong~! You're back~!"
The two girls hugged each other happily.
Zhang Hongcheng didn't say anything and waited calmly for Chu Miaohong to introduce herself to others.
He had already finished reading the original novel and knew that Chu Miaohong had a good friend in Hangzhou named Peng Aifen.
He is one of the few good friends Chu Miaohong can trust.
But until Peng Aifen pulled her best friend into the room, the door slammed shut again...
Chu Miaohong didn’t even remember to introduce herself...that’s too much!
Sure enough, the door was opened immediately.
Chu Miaohong smiled and pulled Zhang Hongcheng in, while explaining to her best friend.
"This isn't to harass me. You don't have to play dumb and lock him out. I asked for this myself. Hehehehe."
Peng Aifen smiled embarrassedly.
"Are you really looking for a partner? I thought you would never be interested in any man in your life!"
"I'm sorry, the person you traced!"
Zhang Hongcheng is a kind man, so naturally he would not bother with his girlfriend's best friend.
And having such a reliable best friend, he would feel more at ease as a boyfriend.
It is much better than those "best friends" in later generations who only introduce handsome guys and young masters to each other every day.
Chu Miaohong said that the most delicious Hangzhou dumplings are produced by the restaurant where Peng Aifen works.
So the two of them shamelessly cut in line...
Zhang Hongcheng, who has the image of a "honest man", feels that this is not a good thing. Even dogs wouldn't eat the buns that are obtained by cutting in line first...
So delicious!
Zhang Hongcheng showed off three cages in one breath.
The fillings and skins of the buns in this shop are definitely made with craftsmanship!
The combination of meat and vegetables is soft and delicious when it enters your mouth, and your entire mouth, esophagus and stomach are cheering.
The only shortcoming: the spicy sauce for dipping the buns, well, it’s hard to describe.
He had previously thought that the hot sauces from Guangdong and Fujian provinces were sweet enough, but he didn't expect that the ancestor was here - the sweet sauce was accidentally hit by the chili water.
If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to taste the spiciness at all.
After saying goodbye to the busy Peng Aifen, the two strolled back to the car.
"Where to now?"
Chu Miaohong had just eaten a basket of small buns. Her appetite was now a bit like that of a Northeastern silver, and she felt that there was still some room in her stomach.
"Of course I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
"The legendary Lou W Lou West Lake Vinegar Fish?"
Chu Miaohong slapped him in annoyance.
Who would go there if they were from Hangzhou...
The van took a long time to get to the destination.
Hangzhou Drum Tower.
Above the quaint ancient bridge arch is an antique building painted white.
Chu Miaohong pointed at the words on the white wall and told Zhang Hongcheng.
"I couldn't get into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University after graduating from high school, so my family sent me here to attend a technical school training course."
"Peng Aifen was my deskmate in high school. We came here together."
She showed a nostalgic mood.
"Unfortunately, I was asked to go to Northeast China to join the team halfway through my studies..."
After a few seconds of silence, she laughed again.
