After traveling all the way, the two finally arrived at the provincial capital.
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao stood at the station, looking at the provincial capital station in front of them, which was much larger than the county station. They couldn't help feeling a little dazed. It was indeed the provincial capital. Although it was not as luxurious as modern cities, it was indeed much better than the county town.
Cheng Jiawen put on the backpack and pulled Xu Qianjiao's wrist, "Let's go, let's go eat something first."
The two walked out of the station. Xu Qianjiao walked along the way, looking at the scenery along the way. It was very different from the scenery of the county town. The atmosphere of the times here was obviously stronger.
The streets are wide and straight, and the buildings on both sides have different styles, including European, Chinese, and modernist. Together, they outline a prosperous yet solemn city picture.
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the state-owned hotel.
"Order whatever you want to eat, it's my treat." Cheng Jiawen said generously, but he was secretly glad in his heart: Fortunately, Xu Qianjiao has a small stomach and can't eat much, otherwise, his wallet would be in trouble.
Xu Qianjiao smiled inwardly at his insincere expression. She glanced at Caidan and teased him deliberately, "Really? Well, I want to eat everything. Order them all?"
When Cheng Jiawen heard this, his face froze and he stumbled, "So much, can you finish it?"
"I can definitely finish whatever you order. I want to try it. I haven't even tried the state-owned restaurants in the provincial capital." Xu Qianjiao said with a disappointed look on her face.
"Well, take some." Cheng Jiawen said with a painful look on his face, and then walked towards the counter with a step that didn't care about his relatives. He was silently wailing for his wallet that was about to lose weight successfully.
Seeing that he seemed to be serious, Xu Qianjiao quickly pulled him back and said with a smile: "Hey, I was just kidding, I want to eat beef noodles."
Hearing about the reversal, Cheng Jiawen's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "Okay, I'll give you some."
Then, he became cheerful. "Comrade, please give me a bowl of beef noodles, a bowl of pickled cabbage dumplings, a serving of braised pork, and a serving of sweet and sour fish. Thank you."
"Okay, please wait."
After the waiter at the counter collected the money and handed the ticket to Cheng Jiawen, he turned and shouted to the kitchen: "A bowl of beef noodles, a bowl of pickled cabbage dumplings, a serving of braised pork and a serving of sweet and sour fish."
The two of them sat down and waited for a while, then the waiter asked them to get their food.
"Wait here, I'll bring the dishes back." Cheng Jiawen stood up and walked towards the counter. After a while, he came back with a tray full of dishes.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the beef noodles in front of her. The pale yellow noodles were covered with beef slices. The snow-white thick soup exuded the fragrance of bones, and a few scattered chopped green onions were dotted on it, which was extremely tempting.
Xu Qianjiao took a sip of the soup first. It was rich, mellow, delicious and slightly spicy, leaving her with an unforgettable taste.
I took a mouthful of noodles and put it in my mouth. Every bite of noodles was filled with the deliciousness of the soup and the aroma of beef. Every mouthful of soup made people feel the mellowness of the beef and the slightly spicy stimulation.
"It's delicious." Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Jiawen in surprise, and expressed her love for beef noodles incoherently.
Cheng Jiawen smiled faintly, "Eat more if you like it. I'll bring you here to eat again when I have the chance."
Seeing her so happy, Cheng Jiawen felt that the money was worth it, and he instantly felt less heartbroken.
Xu Qianjiao felt full after a few bites of the same dish. She touched her stomach and looked at the dishes on the table with some regret, "I'm full, I can't eat anymore."
"If you can't eat anymore, don't eat. I'll bring you here to eat next time." Cheng Jiawen saw that she was full, but still looking at the dishes on the table with reluctant eyes. He couldn't help laughing in his heart. What a little greedy cat, she was full but still not satisfied.
"Okay." She reluctantly moved her eyes away from the dishes on the table. She turned her head and saw the dishes on the table next to her: braised chicken, boiled fish, stir-fried meat, pickled cabbage and pork intestines. She wanted to eat them all...
Cheng Jiawen quickly finished all the dishes on the table, turned around and saw Xu Qianjiao drooling at the dishes on another table. He felt a little helpless, "Okay, stop looking. I'll bring you here to eat next time."
"Well, okay." Xu Qianjiao reluctantly withdrew her gaze and followed Cheng Jiawen out of the state-owned hotel.
Cheng Jiawen couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was still absent-minded. He whispered to Xu Qianjiao, "Wait for me here for a while. I'll be there soon."
Then, he turned around and ran back to the state-owned restaurant. Xu Qianjiao was still standing there in a daze, "Did something leak?"
Soon, Cheng Jiawen came back and said, "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Jiawen expectantly. Cheng Jiawen rubbed her head and said, "Let's go do some business first. I'll take you to the department store later, okay?"
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao nodded indifferently. As long as they could go to the department store in the end, she didn't care about anything else.
Cheng Jiawen led her through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a secluded house. Cheng Jiawen walked up and knocked gently on the door. "Uncle Hao, are you there? I was introduced by Xianglin."
There was silence inside the door. After waiting for a long time, an old voice replied, "I'm coming."
The person who opened the door was a white-haired old man. The traces of time had left deep marks on his body. His face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes sparkled with wisdom.
He was wearing tattered clothes with many patches on them. He looked very weak and walked unsteadily.
He silently looked at the two people in front of him, a man and a woman, with handsome faces and clear eyes. They did not look like bad people, but he needed to observe them more carefully.
"What are you here for?" Uncle Hao asked coldly.
