In the photo, He Yan and He Yi made funny expressions, Yun Qiao stood behind the two children with a smile on his face, looking at the camera gently, and Su Hua next to him was a little restrained in his body movements, but facing the camera, he still pursed his lips into a slightly shy smile.
Su Hua treasured this photo for many years.
Later, when she was old and became a well-known writer, this photo was published as the title page of her autobiography.
She wrote in her autobiography: Since I met her, I have known the warmth of this world.
*****
When I got off the boat, it was just past half past three.
It was still too early for the family, and the two children were still not satisfied, so Yun Qiao and the others continued to stroll along the Bund, enjoying the rare leisure time.
The two children chased and played with each other, chatting and laughing. They walked for a long way but didn't feel tired at all. Before they knew it, they arrived near the City God Temple in Yu Garden.
The City God Temple is very lively on weekends. Because there are too many educated youth in the city, the street allows those who have no jobs to set up stalls to support themselves, so there are many small stalls on the street of the City God Temple.
There were stalls selling daily necessities, handicrafts, and educated youth who were good at handicrafts setting up stalls to sell their handicrafts and woven products. In addition, there were also several snack stalls, shoe repair stalls, and barber stalls.
Yun Qiao was only interested in the snack stalls.
Since the educated youth who went to the countryside were integrated into the local people, there were a few snack stalls that sold pretty decent food.
For example, there is a stall selling Shaanxi Roujiamo. The layers of crispy dough look so delicious, and the meat stewed in the stove is so fragrant that you can smell it from a long distance away.
He Yan and He Yi had been running for half the afternoon and were already tired. When they smelled the delicious smell of meat, they couldn't walk anymore and started clamoring to buy it.
Yun Qiao found the roujiamo interesting and went up to ask the price.
Tan 㹏 is a lesbian who is about thirty years old. She has a neat ponytail, not a single strand of hair on her forehead or temples, and her hands are clean. She makes people feel good about her at first sight.
She replied, "Meat dishes are three yuan each, and mixed dishes are two yuan each."
Yun Qiao asked curiously, "What do you mean by meat and vegetables?"
Tan 㹏䋤答䦤: "The pure meat ones have nothing but meat. One bun has two pieces of meat. The meat-vegetarian combination ones have braised dried tofu and potatoes stewed in broth. One bun has one piece of meat, one dried tofu, and two potatoes."
Yun Qiao first asked Su Hua: "Xiao Hua, what do you want to eat?"
Su Hua said, "I'll have a combination of meat and vegetables."
Yun Qiao nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, give me a meat and vegetable combo too." Then he asked the two children, "What about you?"
"I eat pure meat." He Yi said impatiently.
He Yan said hesitantly, "Mom, can I have both?"
"Can you finish it?" Yun Qiao asked her.
He Yan pursed his lips and shook his head after a while: "No."
Yun Qiao said: "You still ask if it's not possible."
"Okay." He Yan said, "Then I want a pure meat one too."
"Hey." Yun Qiao told the stall owner, "We want two meat-only dishes and two mixed dishes."
Tan said, "It's one dollar in total."
Yun Qiao paid the money decisively.
Tan Qi didn't take the money directly with his hands, but asked Yun Qiao to throw the money into the cash box. He has a very good sense of hygiene.
Yun Qiao immediately took a liking to her and felt that this stall would definitely be able to make a name for itself in the catering industry in the future.
The meat, dried tofu and potatoes were all braised and ready-made. All the restaurant needed to do was bake the dough, chop it up and put it in the steamed bun. Therefore, the food was served quite quickly. In less than five minutes, Yun Qiao and the others got the roujiamo wrapped in oil paper.
After getting the roujiamo, the two children couldn't wait to eat it.
He Yan took a big bite of the pure meat roujiamo, his cheeks puffed up, and he mumbled, "Delicious."
He Yi also nodded: "It's very delicious."
Everyone ate and walked around, and Su Hua also ate with gusto, and couldn't help but praise him: "The craftsmanship of this stall is really good."
Yun Qiao took a bite of the meat and vegetable roujiamo in his hand and thought it tasted good, nodding in agreement.
The most important thing is that this thing is not available in Shanghai. The roujiamo at the stall is the first of its kind. With time, she might really become famous.
After eating Roujiamo, He Yan set his sights on the ice cream stall in front.
"Mom, it's so hot. I want to eat some mung bean ice cream to cool down."
Yun Qiao refused without a second thought: "No. You just ate meat, you can't eat anything cold, it will give you diarrhea."
The little girl selling ice cream had already taken a step forward to attract customers, but after hearing what Yun Qiao said, she stepped back.
Yun Qiao noticed her movements out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously glanced in her direction. Just one glance and she was stunned.
There was no other reason, it was just that the little girl looked too much like someone she knew.
It's like a smaller version of her, with facial features almost carved from the same mold.
The little girl was stared at by Yun Qiao and took two steps back nervously. When she reached the back of the stall, she turned around and shouted, "Mom."
Yun Qiao was a little amused and helpless when he heard her panicked voice.
Well……
Is she considered a bad person?
It was also her fault. She had stared at her too intently just now. The little girl must have been scared when a stranger stared at her for no apparent reason.
Just as I was thinking about it, the girl's mother came out from the grocery store behind the stall, "Xiaolan, you called me?"
The little girl complained to her mother: "Mom, there is a strange person outside who keeps staring at me."
"Hmm? Who is it?"
The girl's mother frowned when she heard this, and looked towards Yun Qiao in the direction of the girl's finger. When she saw Yun Qiao, her pupils shrank and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"You are... Yun Qiao?"
