The car stopped in front of a bustling street. The street ahead was brightly lit and the voices of hawkers and customers were endless. It didn't look like it was already midnight.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou paid the fare and then got off the car.
"You're welcome." After counting the money, the driver drove away.
As soon as he got off the car, Yuan Zhou remembered to turn on his phone that had been turned off. At that time, Yin Ya's message came in. Looking at such a message, Yuan Zhou edited it subconsciously.
[I seldom go out, so this is the first time I've said it.] ]
After writing the message, Yuan Zhou originally wanted to click send, but when he found it was already 12: 30 midnight, he gave up the idea.
"I'd better send it in the morning so that I won't wake her up." Yuan Zhou thought inwardly. After saving the message, he walked to the snack street.
The night market was more likely to find ordinary double skin milk. With such a mood, Yuan Zhou walked all the way into the street.
The street was very boisterous with customers coming and going in an endless stream. Occasionally, some people passed by speaking Mandarin or other native dialects, but most of them were speaking Cantonese, which Yuan Zhou couldn't understand. That was because this place was very far from the downtown area of Guangzhou.
"That's right. According to the guide I found, this is the night market that locals often come to." Yuan Zhou nodded inwardly and then carefully observed the snack stalls on the street.
The street here was backed by the river. The houses in the front had some foreign architectural style and both the big flower Ziwei and Guangzhou's city flower Kapok were planted on both sides.
Coincidentally, the two kinds of trees were at the right temperature and both had big petals. The big flower Ziwei had big purple flowers while the Kapok was a bright red tree, which was very eye-catching.
As the night breeze blew some petals down, the surrounding dark and quiet night, the people setting up the stall under the tree and the pedestrians seemed to have entered a painting.
The painting was picturesque. However, when Yuan Zhou looked at the street full of short-sleeved girls with white legs, he couldn't help but sigh, "At least respect the winter. The heavy snow has passed and the winter solstice is coming. It's not appropriate to wear short-sleeved clothes."
Yuan Zhou stretched out his hand and rolled up the sleeves of his long-sleeved sportswear. Then, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and continued to stroll around the stalls expressionlessly.
Yuan Zhou's expression didn't change as he listened to the completely different conversations around him. His target was the double skin milk sold by a smiling auntie not far away.
The auntie had placed a high stool with a row of neat white porcelain bowls on it. The bowls were filled with white and tender double-skin milk that exuded a milky fragrance like soft tofu.
"A bowl of double skin milk," Yuan Zhou said as he stepped forward.
"Okay. Five RMB per bowl. You can even pay with cash by scanning the QR code." The auntie quickly handed a bowl and a spoon to Yuan Zhou and said.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou handed over five yuan in change, took the bowl and spoon, and started eating.
However, just as the system had said, Yuan Zhou was indeed unlucky. The first bite of the double skin milk was quite fragrant, but the excessive sugar made Yuan Zhou's sensitive taste buds a little unbearable. His face twisted slightly.
"No wonder there's no one here. There are people queuing up in twos and threes at other places," Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
However, the actions of his hands didn't change. He continued to eat a spoonful of the double skin milk.
When he was eating halfway, Yuan Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, do you usually eat so sweetly?"
"Yes, yes. Young man, do you think it's not sweet enough? Do you want to add some sugar?" The auntie immediately asked with a smile.
"No need. Thank you," Yuan Zhou refused immediately. Meanwhile, he turned around and finished the double skin milk in big gulps. Then, he put down the empty bowl and left.
Having stepped on a mine the first time, Yuan Zhou was much more cautious in his choice next time. This time, he chose the double skin milk that was already queued up. After eating it again, the sweet taste was gone. The milky fragrance, the faint sweetness, and the unique soft and tender texture of the double skin milk tasted very good.
"It's delicious," Yuan Zhou said.
"As long as you like it, young man. Would you like another bowl?" This time, it was a middle-aged uncle who asked politely.
"No need. Thank you," Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
The street wasn't very long. Yuan Zhou found a total of six stalls selling double skin milk on the street and one stall selling double skin milk on a trolley. Yuan Zhou bought them one by one and tried them one by one.
Of course, the taste was equal to the bad taste. His luck wasn't too bad.
Having eaten a bellyful of double skin milk, Yuan Zhou looked at the time and found it was just 2: 30. Although he had eaten a lot of double skin milk, it was still a snack after all. Thus, he ate it quickly. At that time, the bustle on the street gradually dispersed. There were fewer people and fewer stalls.
"It's almost time," Yuan Zhou put down the empty bowl and thought inwardly.
This was the last seventh bowl of double skin milk. As usual, Yuan Zhou ate it up without leaving a single mouthful, although he was already very full.
"It's rare that I'm a little tired of eating something." Yuan Zhou patted his belly without a trace and then walked toward the end of the street.
As he was very full, Yuan Zhou walked slowly. Together with some people who were packing up the stalls, they formed a strange harmony.
"Today is considered a perfect day. I have a better way to eat double skin milk," Yuan Zhou thought contentedly.
"It's said that the most famous double-skinned milk brands in Guangzhou are the two Xin brands. But in the future, there will be one more brand. I wonder if the Guangdong people will be very happy if they know that." Yuan Zhou thought that with certainty.
Going to Chengdu to eat double skin milk … Just thinking about it made him look forward to it.
With such a mood, Yuan Zhou took a taxi and waited for half an hour before he finally got one. When he got on the taxi, it was already 3: 00 pm.
Just like when he came to the airport, the snack street from which Yuan Zhou came was an hour's drive away from the airport. When Yuan Zhou arrived at the airport, it was just 4: 20 pm and there were only 50 minutes left before he boarded the plane.
"Fortunately, I took the ticket early and didn't have any luggage. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I can't make it." As soon as Yuan Zhou finished the security check and walked into the departure hall, he heard that the ticket for his plane began to be checked. He couldn't help feeling lucky.
That's right. Yuan Zhou bought the earliest flight back to Chengdu at 5: 10 in the morning. This plane arrived at Chengdu just at 7: 20 am on time.
The flight back was 15 minutes earlier than the one that came, which was out of Yuan Zhou's expectation. But it was also good. The time was just right.
Although it was a trip that could be taken at any time, Yuan Zhou still checked the weather. The weather was fine and the plane arrived on time. Yuan Zhou got on the reserved car. At 8: 00 am, Yuan Zhou had washed up and changed into his daily Han clothes. Then, he opened the door of the restaurant.
"Today's breakfast is Clear Broth Noodle Soup. No other dishes are provided." Yuan Zhou said to the customers entering the restaurant.
"Alright. Clear Broth Noodle Soup it is. Get me a bowl of it." Wuhai stroked his small mustaches and looked at Yuan Zhou suspiciously. Then, he said.
"By the way, Boss Yuan, I didn't see you jogging today." A customer living nearby asked curiously.
"I knew it. You didn't jog in the morning." Wuhai immediately chimed in.
"I was delayed by something." Yuan Zhou's voice passed from the mask and then continued.
Having arranged everything, however, Yuan Zhou forgot the text message that he hadn't sent and didn't tell him that he was safe.
