I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 378 Taiyaki

The venue this time is different from previous debut night venues.

A concert-style performance like that requires a venue that is large enough and can accommodate enough people, so the location is relatively remote.

The small performance venue for the King of Masked Singer program is in the city, and a few streets further away is a high school.

It was already past eleven o'clock, but the street was just starting to get lively.

The campus was brightly lit, and the bell for evening self-study classes rang several times. Finally, students came out one after another carrying schoolbags.

It should have been a very familiar scene, but the students were wearing unfamiliar red uniforms, and the campus buildings were not orange and white.

Su Chengyi paused, took off his baseball cap, and placed it on Chen Jinzhi's head.

She has a small face, and with the brim of the hat covering her face like this, almost only her chin can be seen.

Su Chengyi was quite satisfied with this and led her forward.

"Can't see the road."

Luxurious private room treatment.

Most students choose to walk home. These snacks full of fireworks can make the journey home less lonely.

The variety is dizzying.

The wonton sellers were an old couple. The aunt was busy cooking the wontons, so the uncle had his hands free to greet them.

"Okay."

Su Chengyi was stunned and saw him opening the door of the tricycle.

She raised the corner of her mouth and said:

"What do you two want to eat?"

"Hey, young man, come here to eat!"

"Thank you."

So the two of them really got into the tricycle.

"I'm holding you."

Su Chengyi reached out and took off Chen Jinzhi's hat, then fanned her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jinzhi thought about it and nodded.

Unexpectedly, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, there is something else inside - in fact, there is a table.

Su Chengyi had just glanced at the sign in advance and placed his order directly:

Su Chengyi nodded and said "ok".

Outside the campus, there is a snack street as always, which seems to be the traditional setting of all campuses in the country.

When you are in a strange food street and are worried about which restaurant you should eat, the simplest and most error-proof way is to look where there are the most people in line.

The final result is: the most popular among students in this school is a small wonton shop.

Su Chengyi stopped at the street corner and looked at the shops again.

While Su Chengyi was thinking, he lowered his head and leaned into Chen Jinzhi's ear and asked:
"Want something to eat?"

The uncle wiped his hands with a kind smile on his face.

Even sitting in the car, you can still smell the aroma of the wontons in the pot, and occasionally hear the aunt’s angry voice:
"Is that enough for the kids? I'll scoop you two more!"

Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little and glanced sideways at Chen Jinzhi.

I originally thought she would definitely refuse. After all, I had never heard the word "hungry" from her mouth. She seemed to have evolved away from the most basic survival need of human beings, the need to eat.

Time has passed and the subway has stopped running.

"Okay, come right away. Don't worry, I'll cook the student's first."

The students were obviously very familiar with the business. They stopped in front of their favorite shops in small groups and bought a few strings of their favorites to satisfy their cravings.

The inside of the tricycle was very clean and everything was neatly placed.

Su Chengyi habitually wiped the table with paper, and it was very clean. It didn't have the greasy feeling that is common in roadside food stalls.

Business seems to be good for a reason.

This is a bit surprising.

"Two bowls of fresh meat wontons, one without chili and one with more chili."

Another advantage of sitting in a car is that it is very discreet and there is no need to cover up.

The sweet aroma of Oden is overflowing, the squid tentacles are sizzling on the iron plate, the round octopus balls are turned over, and the fat of the lamb skewers on the charcoal fire is mixed with the aroma of cumin.

The uncle opened the door and asked.

Su Chengyi led Chen Jinzhi over and saw that the temporary shed next to it had been occupied by students, and there was not a single seat left.

School had just ended at this time, and probably only the senior high school students were left. Then I thought about it, there were about eighty days left before they would take the college entrance examination.

There are rows of vendors setting up stalls, most of them using tricycles to set up simple shops.

"Is it hot?"

"Fortunately."

Chen Jinzhi put the hair that was disturbed by his movement back behind his ears, and looked towards the students who were finishing their studies outside the car window.

Su Chengyi followed her gaze and said with a smile:
"Isn't that so kind?"

"Yeah, but there doesn't seem to be one at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School?"

Chen Jinzhi spoke very slowly, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Chengyi recalled it and replied:
"It's always been there. It seems like when I was a sophomore in high school, I was still at the school gate.

Until I heard that a student suffered from gastroenteritis. Although the specific cause was not clear yet, in short, it was corrected.

After that, the dirty land was reincarnated on the street next door. In fact, there was no change. The hawkers were still the same. "

"I see."

Chen Jinzhi held his chin and smiled.

"Bang!"

The door of the tricycle was opened, and the uncle brought up two bowls of wontons.

"Come on! The vinegar bottle is on the table. I want to add some for myself!"

"OK, thanks."

Su Chengyi bent down and stood up to bring the bowl over.

The bowls and spoons are disposable, presumably for convenience and cleanliness.

He specifically asked for more chili peppers in this bowl. The red oil smelled fragrant and the color was bright.

Chen Jinzhi's bowl was clear soup. Su Chengyi guessed that she would have activities tomorrow, so she didn't add chili.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the bowl was put down, Chen Jinzhi took a spoonful of his red soup.

"It looks a bit spicy."

She studied the quality of the peppers and commented.

Su Chengyi didn't care. How spicy could a stall selling food to students like this be?

Moreover, this is a magical city, and Tang'an is famous throughout the country for its strong taste and spicy food.

How could he, a native of Tang'an, get hurt here!

Su Chengyi unpreparedly scooped up a spoonful of wontons and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Not spicy”

Before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

This chili is home-made sour and spicy chopped chili, but it has a strong stamina. The spiciness quickly makes the mouth sting and the tip of the nose sweat.

Chen Jinzhi laughed and pushed the bowl of clear soup in front of him.

"Okay, why are you trying to be strong?"

"It's not spicy at all, just the first bite. It's okay. I can eat it."

Su Chengyi picked up the vinegar bottle and poured half a bowl into it.

Chen Jinzhi felt helpless and funny, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the base of his ears.

After adding vinegar, the spiciness was alleviated a lot. Su Chengyi changed the topic while eating.

"Do schools in South Korea also have snack streets like this?"

"There are some where I go to school, but not so many."

As Chen Jinzhi recalled, he scooped up a wonton, lowered his head and blew it.

"After all. Well, you should know about South Korean food."

"Ah, too."

Although Su Chengyi has never been there, he has heard about it.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be called kimchi country.

"On the way home from school, I often pass by fried rice cakes, rice sausages, fried dumplings, etc."

Chen Jinzhi seemed to be thinking back very seriously.

Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little when he heard this. Logically speaking, this kind of street food should be something that can be talked about endlessly like the name of a dish.

Just in this alley outside the tricycle, there are countless types.

“What’s the best thing to eat?”

he asked a little curiously.

After all, none of the types mentioned now sound very appetizing.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jinzhi's answer was even more unexpected.

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it."

"?"

Su Chengyi was stunned, and the spoon in his hand almost slipped into the bowl.

"Don't you want to eat?" "Well, not really. To be honest, I'm actually quite curious sometimes."

Chen Jinzhi laughed, as if he was a little embarrassed by such a straightforward statement.

"I was still very young at that time."

She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The incandescent light inside the tricycle is very weak, and there are only shadows outside the window.

Su Chengyi felt for a moment that the bowl of wontons in front of him, which contained too much chili pepper and vinegar, became tasteless.

If you are curious about the taste but have never tasted it, there can only be one reason.

No money to buy.

In fact, when Su Chengyi was a child, there was a time when her family was very poor.

The situation is different from that of the poor third generation, or worse, because neither of the parents is actually good at living, and they don't understand the principle of spending money wisely.

Su Zelang was born in a branch of a large family. Although he was not taken seriously since he was a child, he never suffered much.

The "painful experiences" he often talked about after drinking were all suffered after he insisted on going his own way to engage in rock music.

Not to mention Yangliu, a serious scholarly family, but they just don't understand people well and have gone astray.

From then on, the daughter of the Yang family followed the yellow-haired band boy and lived a miserable life with little water. For the first time, she had to live a life where she had to fill the shampoo bottle with water.

But despite this, the two of them never saved any money on Su Chengyi.

Study stationery was purchased in sets, and tuition and fees were never paid late.

Su Chengyi had lunch in the cafeteria and went home in the evening. They make do with a bowl of noodles for lunch, but they always have three dishes and one soup for dinner, and they never settle for less.

When Su Zelang came to pick him up from school, he would always wait happily with a lot of snacks sold at the school gate.

Although Su Chengyi didn't like to eat these things, he ended up dealing with most of the things he bought himself, and he repeatedly told him not to let your mother know, otherwise he would have to scold him for eating junk food with his children.

"Although I don't like eating this kind of snack very much, my classmates always gather around to buy it after school."

Chen Jinzhi stirred the clear soup in the bowl and continued to think about it.

"If you don't buy it, you will seem a bit unsociable. After all, when others are sharing food, you can only stand aside stupidly.

But I really didn’t have much pocket money at that time, and it would take me several days to save even to buy a piece of rubber, so I had to pretend that I hated eating it. "

At this point, she raised her eyes and smiled.

“I pretended to be so calm that my classmates didn’t even suspect anything.

If you want to ask what is the most delicious one, according to what Teacher Su just said, it is probably the one with the most people queuing up, right?

I remember, it was a crucian carp cake. "

"Crucia carp cake?"

The first thing Su Chengyi thought of was the kind of food where small yellow croakers are coated in starch and fried. However, Chen Jinzhi quickly denied this.

"Well, it's actually more like taiyaki. But it's not as thick, it's thin, and it has red bean paste inside.

I was really curious about this, so after I went to middle school, I worked part-time in a convenience store. The first thing I wanted to do after I got my salary was to buy something.

The boss was already very familiar with me. When he saw me standing in front of the shop, he smiled and joked that the little girl finally came to buy.

but"

When she said this, her tone paused, and Su Chengyi roughly guessed that she must not have eaten it in the end.

“At that time, I had already decided to become a trainee, but when I thought about the living expenses and study expenses that had not yet been settled, I felt that I wasn’t that curious anymore.

I bowed, said excuse me, and ran away.

I vaguely heard the boss shouting from behind, saying "please eat, please eat." "

Chen Jinzhi sighed, propped up his chin and looked at him with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I actually passed the trainee selection and then returned to China. I rarely think about the crucian carp cakes anymore."

She rarely talked about things in South Korea. It was very rare that she would talk about these things tonight.

However, as the saying goes, a small thing like this can even be said in a joking tone in Chen Jinzhi's eyes.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is already quite cruel.

How must she have felt during those moments that she never talked about.

Su Chengyi poked the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Compared to his previous situation, Chen Jinzhi's situation was much more difficult.

Although he is withdrawn, it cannot be said that he is isolated. To be more precise - it seems that he is isolating everyone.

But Chen Jinzhi is different. With her exquisite thinking, she will quickly make herself appear gregarious no matter where she goes.

Then, these unresolved, extremely unsociable moments will be remembered for a long, long time.

Fortunately, at this time, Su Chengyi suddenly remembered that the sign of the stall he just passed by seemed to be selling Taiyaki!

Thanks to our country's late-night snack culture, which is open to all rivers and has great tolerance.

He immediately stood up and pushed open the door of the tricycle.

"Wait for me here."

"Ok?"

Chen Jinzhi raised his head in surprise.

"Be right back."

Before she could answer, Su Chengyi walked quickly without looking back.

It was later now, and he was afraid that the vendor had already closed his stall.

But fortunately, it didn't happen. The students in this school seemed to be getting out of school in batches, and there were still many people in red uniforms on the streets.

Su Chengyi followed his memory and found the shop smoothly.

Fortunately, I got it right. It is indeed Taiyaki.

"Boss, are there any more taiyaki?"

He was even a little nervous when he asked this question.

Childhood scars take a lifetime to heal. Chen Jinzhi doesn't care about such a crucian carp cake now, but she must have cared about it when she was a child.

But when you are living under someone else's roof, you have to look at other people's eyes for everything you do. Naturally, even such a small wish is a luxury.

In this way, even if you have the ability to buy it later, you will no longer want it.

"some."

The boss answered simply.

Su Chengyi's anxious heart relaxed.

"Okay, please give me two."

He doesn't like to eat such sweets, but at times like this he must eat them with him.

The boss skillfully opened the mold, poured egg liquid inside, and asked:
"What kind of filling do you want? Red beans, chocolate, yogurt."

Times have changed, Chen Jinzhi, now it is so diverse!

But Su Chengyi still chose the red bean version, after all, that was what she wanted to eat at that time.

When the bottom layer of fish skin turns brown, the boss adds solid red bean filling and finally covers it with the upper layer of fish skin.

It looks pretty good.

Su Chengyi thought, the shape is quite cute.

Of course it will be very attractive to little girls!
Chen Jinzhi is so uninterested in food now. Maybe he was squeezed too hard when he was a child and couldn't eat anything he wanted. It's strange that he is interested when he grows up.

When Su Chengyi was thinking about how to save it, he suddenly heard a loud whistle coming from the street.

Then, the boss, who was looking so leisurely just now, suddenly changed his expression.

Before Su Chengyi could react, a symphony of pots and pans was heard all around.

? what's the situation.

He looked around in confusion.

Good guy, just as soon as I turned around, the long line of vendors instantly disintegrated, and the trees fell down and the hozens scattered.

Like the Autobots that had been beaten apart, they all went their separate ways in the blink of an eye, running away in all directions.

???

"Go! Go!"

The Taiyaki chef in front of him also packed up at an absurdly fast speed. He had already climbed onto the driver's seat of the tricycle and ejected.

ha?
Su Chengyi soon discovered that he was the only one who looked confused. These students seemed to have been used to it for a long time, laughing and joking.

He soon learned the reason from them.

Hey guys, the city management is here to drive us away.

What time is it? Isn’t everyone off work? !

The students who had placed their orders but had not yet received their orders ran after the vendors’ tricycles, shouting with a smile on their faces:

“My grilled cold noodles!”

“My skewers!!”

“Shaobing and egg fried rice!”

This scene was really funny. Su Chengyi originally wanted to laugh along, but looking at the empty streets, she felt something was wrong.

Twelve out of ten things are wrong.

People left the alley empty, and the ground was in a mess.

It seems like something is missing.

Why did he come to buy taiyaki?

???

By the way, where is my girlfriend? !
