This time, the place Xu Zijun took them to was a bit far away.
After driving for more than two hours, the surrounding buildings had become a bit desolate and dilapidated. They had arrived at the old city area of Jiangcheng. Although the location here was good, the dilapidated environment was very bad.
The buildings here are not tall, the ground is uneven, the floor tiles are broken, and the RV is shaking violently, causing Hua Yueying to unable to help but quarrel with Xu Zijun.
"Hey, where are you taking us? How did you find this place? Why do you always find places like this? Can't you go to a restaurant with a better environment?"
"Delicious food is in the folks. In those high-end places, a lot of food is soulless. At most, the environment is good and it makes people feel comfortable, but the food may not taste good..."
"You have so many excuses! If the food doesn't taste good later, wait and see how I punish you. I will punish you by making us midnight snacks!"
"Okay, if the food is not tasty, you can scold me, or punish me by making midnight snacks for everyone for a month. I promise that after you have eaten the food here, you will never forget it..."
Xu Zijun swore repeatedly, which aroused Zhang Fan's interest.
He was very interested in the following delicacies, because Xu Zijun rarely cooked like this. The food he cooked was delicious to begin with, but for him to recommend it like this, it must be very special.
"Okay, okay, we're finally here. Look ahead. There are so many people queuing here. Let's hurry up. This restaurant will close after dark..."
Xu Zijun looked everywhere for a place to park. This was a shabby open-air parking lot with no one managing it.
After he parked his car on the side of the road, he quickly rushed downstairs to find a place to queue. The small restaurant he was talking about actually only had three storefronts and six or seven tables, but there were many people sitting outside queuing.
There wasn't even a stool available, so everyone craned their necks to look inside, waiting for an empty table to come out so that they could go in.
As for decorating a house like this, it is really simple, very simple.
There were just a few tables and a few words written on the big white wall that Zhang Fan could hardly recognize. He didn't look closely, but he could smell a fragrance coming from inside, which looked quite tempting.
But when they arrived, there were too many people outside, about 20 to 30 people. Judging from the situation, they would have to wait for a while!
"You guys take a rest in the car, I'll get in line, and I'll call you when the food is ready. You can come down and eat directly. Tell the boss to hurry up, so that we can have a very interesting meal before he closes..."
Zhang Fan and his friends went into the RV, while Xu Zijun waited obediently in line at the back, waiting for the tables in front to finish eating and vacate their tables.
The RV was very exquisite, and it was very comfortable no matter whether sitting or lying down. Zhang Fan enjoyed it very much. He looked at the time. It was only 5:30 in the afternoon and the sun had not set yet. He estimated that it would take some time for the store to close.
At this moment he was just checking the news on his mobile phone and taking a look at the scenery here.
Many shops around this restaurant are closed and it is deserted. If it weren't for this restaurant bringing a bit of popularity to the surrounding area, this place would be even more deserted.
I guess it will be even more deserted here after nightfall.
Zhang Fan also found something a little strange, that is, almost every household here has a mirror hanging on the door, and people passing by have strange looks when they see them, and they just take a quick look and leave in a hurry.
The hurried footsteps are somewhat out of place with the desolation here!
However, Zhang Fan did not take these to heart. Instead, he opened the window of the RV, got some fresh air, and waited leisurely for Xu Zijun to line up and order the food before calling him.
There was melodious music playing in the RV. Zhang Fan had recently become obsessed with some ancient style songs, and all the songs played in the car were sung in the style of ancient operas.
Zhang Fan likes these tunes very much.
It was just the sudden sound of knocking on the window that made him look up, and he saw a wrinkled face, almost deformed by the squeeze on the car window, and the mouth on that face was opening and closing, saying something.
"What is it, sir?"
Zhang Fan raised his head and knocked on the car window with his hand, wondering what the old man standing outside the window wanted to say.
The old man made a sound and knocked on the car window with his hands, but he didn't speak Mandarin. Instead, he spoke a strange language that was a little difficult to understand. He was just gesticulating anxiously.
However, Zhang Fan and the others were a little confused by the gestures and couldn't understand them!
"Hey, can you please stop smashing the car window? What are you talking about? What, what Brother Xi? I'm not Brother Xi, sir, you got the wrong person..."
Zhang Fan looked at the old man helplessly. The old man was too old, probably in his seventies or eighties. He was trembling and looked like he might fall down at any time. Yet he had recognized the wrong person.
He always treated Zhang Fan as another person, as if he was someone called Brother Xi, and kept calling him.
Some elderly people are actually very pitiful. Sometimes their memories are still stuck in a certain time. When they see someone or something, they will mistake them for other people or things.
As people get older, their memory becomes worse. Although the old man banged on Zhang Fan's RV loudly, Zhang Fan did not blame him. He just hoped that he did not make the wrong person and found that Brother Xi.
But this old man still refused to give in and insisted on sticking to Zhang Fan's RV. He kept sticking his face against the glass of the RV stubbornly, leaving Zhang Fan speechless.
This old man is so stubborn. I have said it many times that he is not that Xige. Why is he still unwilling to leave?
“Yueying, go and look for this old man’s family nearby. Given his condition, he shouldn’t have gone too far. Maybe his home is nearby…”
Zhang Fan called Hua Yueying and others to find the old man's family.
If this old man has Alzheimer's disease or memory loss, it would be no problem to knock on his window, but it would be troublesome if he damaged someone else's car.
If he gets lost, his family will probably be very worried.
Hua Yueying and Bai Wuchang both ran out and asked around about the old man's situation. Soon they led a girl in her twenties with straight and shiny hair over here.
The girl had big, round eyes, but they were a little dark. When she saw the old man's appearance, she became anxious and called him "Grandpa".
When she heard what the old man muttered, her face looked a little ugly.
