Chapter 4 Is there a lot of food missing in this world?
When Chen Yan pushed her sales trolley out of the dining car, the train had already begun to enter the Jinling boundary, and the carriage gradually became noisy. Because it was already at the meal gate, many passengers began to take out their own lunches and carry self-heating pots.
Passengers who wanted to buy instant noodles even lined up in a long queue at the hot water supply station.
On the small table in front of the passengers, there are various snacks, fruits, roasted chicken, roasted duck, roasted pig's trotters, and salted duck eggs with red oil when you crack the eggshell...
Because we were traveling in a green leather car, someone even brought out liquor. Friends who were traveling with us in twos and threes drank wine and chatted, looking forward to this journey together.
The composition of passengers on this x164 train is quite special. Although there are passengers whose destination is a passing station, they only account for a very small proportion. Most passengers specially purchased this train from Magic City to Tibetan Capital.
, just to quietly appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.
Isn’t there a saying that goes well? The most beautiful scenery is always on the road. This train will pass through plains and lakes, cross long rivers, enter vast grasslands, climb over snowfields and high ridges with an altitude of five thousand meters, and finally reach the pure land of the soul.
Paradise on earth...
It spans nine provinces and autonomous regions, and the journey is more than 6,000 kilometers long, across China from east to west, with countless beautiful scenery along the way... So, the conductors on x164 are very happy, they don't even have to clean the windows.
, because there will be passengers who will do it for you.
As we approach the outskirts of Jinling, we can already see the rolling hills, looming like dragons and snakes crouching, which is very different from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River we saw along the way. The kingly aura of the Six Dynasties Jinfen Land is indeed not what we boast;
The loudspeaker inside also began to introduce the history of Jinling. The sweet female voice was delicate and gentle, just like a professional tour guide. This is what makes the x164 train unique.
Leaving the jade-like water town in the south of the Yangtze River, we arrived at the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties with its striking layout. The tourists' appetites seemed to have been whetted by the pale yellow Zhongshan Mountain and the rolling river; the sounds of chewing and swallowing various foods were endless, and some male tourists were drinking.
Halfway through, I suddenly felt craving for cigarettes, so I ran to the connection between the carriages and took a cigarette, and chatted with my friends on the road about various erotic and vegetarian topics.
The aroma of various foods stimulates people's taste buds, and also stimulates Chen Yan's nerves. If the passengers start eating so early, won't the box lunches be sold out?
"The lunch box, the hot lunch box, just out of the pot!
Dear passengers, today’s lunch box is a rice bowl with hot and sour shredded potatoes. It is appetizing and filling. It is cheap and good in quality. It only costs... only twenty yuan a serving..."
When it comes to price, Chen Yan is not too confident.
A serving of hot and sour potato shredded rice bowl actually cost 20 yuan. This is so damn shameful! When she came out of the dining car just now, the guy from Zhouzhou kept insisting that she sell it for 10 yuan.
But what can she do? Not to mention her, even the train conductor can't do anything...
Those high-speed rail trains don't even have a stove. They just throw the pre-made dishes that cost three to five yuan into the microwave, and when they take them out after a "ding" sound, they dare to sell them for forty or fifty yuan a piece!
Compared with the pre-made lunch boxes on high-speed trains and high-speed trains, the price of x164’s lunch boxes is simply unbeatable. These are freshly fried and steamed meals.
"Haha, how hard are you doing, beautiful conductor comrade?
You are really persistent. You didn't sell a few boxes of breakfast, but you still persevered in lunch? You can just shout a few times and push it back. Everyone is scared of being cheated these days. Who will buy a train?
Is there a packed lunch?”
When passing by the connection between the carriages, a middle-aged man who was puffing away his breath glanced at Chen Yan and started chatting with her because he thought she was pretty.
"But these lunch boxes look pretty good. Maybe they taste good? Even the price of 20 yuan is too expensive."
Another young man who was smoking took a look at the shredded potatoes and white rice in the transparent lunch box. Although he couldn't smell the smell through the lunch box, he felt that the appearance of these lunch boxes was really good, which made him a little tempted.
"You're still too young. What's the use of just looking at it? Those half-cold and not-warm pre-made lunch boxes on the high-speed rail seem to be pretty good, but when you actually open the lunch box and eat it, you should be scolded. These days
Ah, many things are just superficial..."
"That's right."
The young man nodded. He originally had the idea of buying a box to try, but the middle-aged man gave up the idea.
Chen Yan glared at the middle-aged man and said angrily: "Please give in!"
...
When Chen Yan walked out of the dining car with an anxious mood, Zhou Zhou had already finished the box of spicy and sour potato rice bowl left for himself.
The taste is really good. Although the rice is only average due to the quality of the rice, it is steamed at just the right temperature and is soft and mellow in the mouth. The spicy and sour potato shreds are definitely better than those produced in ordinary small restaurants. You can have this kind of food on the train.
A standard stir-fry can already score 90 points.
Several conductors quietly looked at Zhou Zhou, feeling a little incredible; they knew this boy's cooking skills, and he was basically the kind that couldn't be put on the table, but the aroma of the food just now was definitely not fake. Could it be that this was
Did the boy suddenly become enlightened?
No, I can't buy the fast food on the platform for dinner. I have to keep my stomach open to try this guy's cooking skills. This is the welfare of the conductor.
Conductor Li Dazui, who had a round head and a big mouth, threw a 'bomb' and said with a smile: "Zhouzhou, if you are going to cook something delicious tonight, don't forget to leave a working meal for the brothers.
....."
"Okay, we'll see what happens then. If there are any left, we'll treat them as everyone's welfare..."
Zhou Zhou nodded with a smile and looked at his phone.
The 'Xia Wei' mobile phone in his hand was left by himself in this world. Zhouzhou in this parallel world disappeared without a trace because of his arrival, leaving only some relatively clear memories and belongings.
, the mobile phone is the most important thing among them.
After trying it, it turns out that it can be opened with a fingerprint, and there are all kinds of apps inside, including payment and communication apps that are both familiar and unfamiliar, such as "PayPay" and "Qxin".
The first thing Zhou Zhou opened was the browser. This world gave him a paradoxical feeling, and the memories left behind by 'him' in this world were also fragmented, so it was necessary for him to understand this world as soon as possible.
"It's OK. The world structure and major historical events have basically not changed. It's just that some details have changed. For example, this train should have been z164 in my original world. Now not only has the name changed, but the stations it passes and the total mileage have also changed.
There have been some changes..."
"The same goes for the catering industry. The French Blue Ribbon, which is known as the highest honor for chefs, has actually become a Green Ribbon?
On the other hand, Michelin stars still exist, but they have changed from one to five stars. If it were in my original world, a Michelin five-star restaurant would definitely make girls crazy about it, right?
Many of the delicacies in Chang'an City are the same as those in my original world, such as Roujiamo, Saozi noodles... But what about Youpo noodles, I can't find them?
Is this a change in the parallel world?”
Zhou Zhou flipped through his phone, desperately looking for local delicacies in his memory. These delicacies are not only a kind of food, but often also carry the memory of the Chinese people and the glorious history of a nation.
But he discovered that the parallel world in front of him was missing a lot of food and dishes!
There are scrambled eggs in this world, but there are no pickled vegetables.
There are goose stews in iron pots in this world, but there is no ground pot chicken.
There is fish-flavored shredded pork in this world, but there is no Kung Pao Chicken.
There are pancakes and fruits in this world, but there are no dogs.
There are meat buns in this world, but there are no fried noodles.
