him and his duo

Chapter 35 Lanzhou Ramen

After getting Xu Ke's general standard for dinner, Gu Shen took Xu Ke into a Lanzhou ramen restaurant next to the school.

Chengguan has a lot of people, and the various shops next to the school are exquisitely decorated, ranging from large bookstores to small noodle shops.

The Lanzhou ramen restaurant that Gu Shen led Xu Ke to was opened ten meters away from the school. It stood between the Peking University store and the Huaqing library on the side of the road. The location can be called a prime location.

It's just that its decoration is a bit nondescript among all the exquisite and excellent shops. The signboard of Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant should not have been replaced for many years. , it seems that the whole noodle shop is a bit dilapidated.

Looking into the noodle shop, the decoration looks like the style of the last century. The walls on both sides have not been repaired, and some black stains are still seeping in some places. I don’t know what made it.

The tables for customers to eat are all wooden tables, with two benches on both sides, which looks like a roadside stall.The owner of this noodle restaurant has a very personal style.

Several large pots were set up outside the noodle shop, boiling and steaming. One pot was filled with hot soup, and the aroma covered by the pot floated far away, directly under Xu Ke's nose.

But Xu Ke didn't seem to be able to smell it. Looking at this unique noodle shop, he felt like leaving.

It is so similar to the house in Chuncheng.

The dining table, wooden stools, and walls are all similar.

Xu Ke stood where he was, looking at the noodle shop across the street, his feet seemed to be frozen, unable to move a step.

Gu Shen, who was walking in front, noticed the strange color on his face, turned around to look at him with a smile, and added a sentence to the noodle restaurant: "Don't think the decoration here is bad, but the taste is very good. Before you try Don't hate it."

"..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke didn't answer him.

Perhaps Xu Ke's complexion was so bad, Gu Shen's smile stopped, he stepped back a few steps, and walked to Xu Ke's side, his tone was very soft, not like what Gu Shen could usually say, "What's the matter?" ?”

"If you don't like it, we can change it. The Maixiang Garden in front of it is also very nice..."

"No," Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief as if he had finally come to his senses, "just eat here."

Without waiting for Gu Shen's reaction, Xu Ke passed him and walked straight to the Lanzhou ramen shop.

This Lanzhou ramen restaurant is really popular, maybe because the taste is really good, there is a long queue outside the noodle restaurant, there are a total of ten people waiting in front of Xu Ke and Gu Shen.People in the queue stared down at their phones, and the line walked slowly in the silence.

There is a woman standing in front of the noodle shop. She is not tall, with a centipede braid and big red lips. The first impression of her face is that it is quiet and peaceful.

It's just that her voice is very loud, and when she sends a message to the man behind her, the voice will always pass through a dozen people and spread outside.

"A bowl of ramen, take it away."

"Two bowls of knives, packed."

"A bowl of ramen, not packed."

"..."

The contrast is great, but the woman's voice always seems to reveal a kind of joy. Every time she turns to look at the man who is ramen, she smiles, a beautiful smile, as if seeing the figure of a man is something to be happy about. things.

"Are they husband and wife?" Xu Ke turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Gu Shen was watching the evening news on his mobile phone, when he heard Xu Ke's words, he put away his mobile phone and laughed, "How did you know that?"

Xu Ke didn't want to say how he observed them, he just said, "Obviously."

Gu Shen smiled, but didn't speak.When Xu Ke was about to turn back, he lifted his chin towards that side and explained: "That woman's name is Liu Mai, and we call her Sister Mai. The person who is meeting behind is her husband, whose surname is Zhou, and we call him Zhou Brother. The couple have been running a noodle shop here for many years."

Xu Kexu nodded his head, and when he was waiting for Gu Shen to continue, Gu Shen raised his finger to let him look forward.

In such a blink of an eye, the team was actually lined up with them.

This woman called Sister Mai has a pungentness that doesn't match her appearance, "Little brother, you are new here, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Ke, known as the "little brother": "..."

Gu Shen poked his head from behind and said, "Sister Mai, two bowls of ramen, don't pack."

Sister Mai held the noodle dish to Gu Shen, "It's not your turn yet, queue up."

Gu Shen pulled Xu Ke back, supported his shoulder and said, "We are together."

"You guys together?" Sister Mai raised her voice in surprise.

"That's right," Gu Shen turned around to look at Xu Ke with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Xu Ke patted Gu Shen's hand on his body, "Don't touch me."

Sister Mai's expression became even more restless.

"Go in and find a seat." Sister Mai put two bowls of ramen in large white porcelain bowls and carefully placed them on the front desk, "Be careful not to spill them."

They walked to the innermost side facing each other, found a place against the wall and sat down.

This ramen looks very appetizing. The noodles are thin and long, which looks very strong.The focus is on the soup. It may have used some exclusive secret method. The aroma is mellow, and the soup is rich and delicious, spicy and tangy.Gu Shen also added a lot of small ingredients to both of them, such a dish made people drool just looking at it.

It may be that many people packed up and went home to eat. There were not many people in the noodle shop, only a few scattered tables where people were quietly eating noodles.A new student who came in with his face on his face immediately turned around and picked a seat far away when he saw Gu Shen sitting inside.

Xu Ke looked at the human figure avoiding radar, and the expression on his face was a bit indescribable.

"Why don't you eat it? Doesn't it suit your appetite?" Gu Shen didn't know the situation behind him, he only paid attention to Xu Ke in front of him who didn't move his chopsticks to eat, "Actually, this Lanzhou ramen is the most authentic among all the ramen restaurants here. family."

"Do you know why?" Gu Shen said.

Xu Ke pushed aside the noodles in the bowl, took a bite of a poached egg, and asked cooperatively, "Why?"

"Because Brother Zhou once went to Lanzhou to learn." Gu Shen turned around and looked at the two people who were busy in front of him. Only from their perspective could he see what the man called Brother Zhou looked like. He actually looked very handsome. Wenxiu is very delicate between her eyebrows, and she also has a bookish look on her body.

Gu Shen went on to say: "Because Sister Mai likes to eat."

Xu Ke followed his gaze, and after a while, turned back to staring at the noodles in his bowl.

This noodle looks very good, but it looks too spicy, Xu Ke can't move his chopsticks.

"Your reaction is too flat." After finishing speaking, Gu Shen turned to look at Xu Ke with a smile.

The chopsticks in Xu Ke's hand twirled around in the bowl, picked up another piece of beef and put it into his mouth, "Then why is the reaction normal?"

"Should be a little surprised?" After Gu Shen finished speaking, he was not very sure, "In short, your reaction like cotton is really a bit wrong."

Xu Ke looked up at Gu Shen quietly, "Because I'm really not very interested in eating dog food."

Gu Shen: "..."

Ten minutes later, Gu Shen's bowl of noodles was almost full, when he looked up, Xu Ke's noodles didn't seem to move at all.

"Is it because you simply don't like this noodles?" Gu Shen asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Xu Ke fiddled with the noodles in the bowl and said, "Aren't you spicy?"

Every place has its own characteristics. For example, the people here in Gu Shen are very good at eating spicy food, and they like it very much.He didn't expect Xu Ke to be a special case.

Seeing that Gu Shen had almost finished eating, Xu Ke put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Are you done? Let's go."

Gu Shen looked at Xu Ke's bowl of ramen noodles with red oil, pressed Xu Ke, said "wait for me for a while" and walked out.After a while, he came back with a bowl of noodles in clear soup.

Xu Ke looked at the bowl of clear noodle soup without a little spicy, "...I'm actually not very hungry."

"You're not hungry now." Gu Shen brought the noodles in front of Xu Ke, pulled out a pair of chopsticks and put them next to the noodle bowl, and said, "Eat."

Xu Ke looked at him for two seconds, then got up and left.

Gu Shen grabbed him, "What's wrong with you? This bowl is not spicy."

Xu Ke was pushed on the stool, and finally compromised, "Then you go first, I will eat here by myself."

Gu Shen laughed and said: "Why, I watched you eat and you couldn't eat it?"

Xu Ke nodded, "I'm not used to being stared at while eating, don't you think it's awkward for me to eat?"

Gu Shen laughed when he heard the word "eat", he sat back and said, "Eat, let me tell you a story."

Xu Ke picked up the chopsticks and didn't start eating, but looked at Gu Shen first.

Gu Shen was sitting across from him, but his eyes were not on Xu Ke. He took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it off slowly and said to himself: "Sister Mai used to be a student of Chengguan, and she has a more idiosyncratic personality. , she belongs to the kind of girl who is very popular and can get along anywhere."

Gu Shen peeled off the candy, biting the candy and said vaguely: "Brother Zhou is from the No. [-] middle school over there. He has good grades and a boring personality. Then the two met inexplicably. It is said that this is the hero who saves the United States."

Like all old-fashioned stories, the two gradually fell in love with each other, and then entered the "puppy love" together, a noun that represents ignorance and sin.

"Later Brother Zhou's parents found out about this, and they were very angry. Their son actually mixed up with students from Chengguan, and he would definitely be led to become bad. So even before Brother Zhou's grades had not declined, they forced them to break up. .”

"And then?" Xu Ke asked while biting his noodles.

"Then we broke up. My parents were under a lot of pressure from school. It was Sister Mai who first brought it up. It's just that there were twists and turns later. Although Brother Zhou usually looks boring, he is stubborn when chasing people. Later they Entered the underground stage."

"After going on like this, how could the grades not be affected? Brother Zhou's grades dropped a lot. His parents kept a close eye on him, and later they found out about the two of them being together again."

So they forced them to break up again. They said all kinds of cruel words, and even went to Chengguan to point at Sister Mai and yell at Sister Mai in the school. In the end, they really broke up.

Brother Zhou failed in the college entrance examination and barely passed a book.During the summer vacation after graduating from the college entrance examination, he went to Lanzhou as an apprentice to learn how to make Lanzhou ramen, because when we were together, Sister Mai said that she had traveled to Lanzhou and liked to eat the most authentic ramen there.Brother Zhou wanted to chase him back by relying on his face, but he had a car accident on the way back.

He lay in a hospital bed for two years, dropped out of college, and lost all hearing in one ear.During those two years, he completely lost contact with Sister Mai, and when he woke up, he never thought of looking for her again.

His parents asked Brother Zhou to repeat his studies for a year and get into a good university, but Brother Zhou refused because he was already a semi-disabled person. Even if he got into a good university, which company would want him?This path is no longer available.

So, he went to Lanzhou again, and worked as a cook in the place where Sister Mai once ate ramen. He never thought about looking for her, but they met again.

Five years have passed since their reunion.

"Is the story a bit bloody?" The sugar in Gu Shen's mouth shattered, he took out the plastic stick, and said, "But such a bloody story really happened."

A few words can finish a story, but no one can tell their years of separation and reunion, their unfavorable persistence, the two years of despair in the hospital bed, and the five years of life-to-life separation.

Quantitative pronouns in other people's mouths, for the people in the story, it is difficult for them to live every minute and every second of the past.

In this world, some people's lives are really not ordinary.

"After listening to it, do you feel that the noodles in this store are delicious?"

After a story was told, Xu Ke finally finished his bowl of noodles.He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Gu Shen smiled, "Your reaction."

"Dog food is delicious, but I have poor empathy," Xu Ke said rationally, "And if I eat too much dog food, I won't be able to digest it and I will vomit."

Gu Shen: "..."

At that time, they didn't realize that one day they would become the protagonist in a certain story, and their eyes would turn red every day when they heard the word separation.

The author has something to say: I want to eat Lanzhou ramen outside the high school...

Thank you for the misty rain in the city, don't rush to throw mines, hold on, I will try my best to update.
