People often say: There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

The scenery of Hangzhou is not only West Lake, but also spreads among the streets and alleys.

In midsummer, the sun is scorching.

Gao Yu and Wu Song were very excited and walked along the green tree-lined streets. From time to time, they would stop at a certain place, either enjoy the scenery or taste local specialty snacks. Before they knew it, it was getting late...

The weather in Jiangnan is unpredictable.

It was just now that the sun was shining brightly, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain.

Gao Yu and Wu Song were sheltering from the rain at a Wantou shop at Guanqiao Bridge Bridge and sat down at a table beside the window.

The Wantou Shop is a very simple restaurant. The frame is mostly made of bamboo fences and curtains. There are grass gourds hanging on the door, which is called "Bowtou" by locals in Hangzhou, meaning that customers are likely to leave after drinking a bowl of wine.

From this we can see that the wine and food in this kind of shop is generally available.

"The food in the Wantou store is not as delicate and delicious as the restaurant, but it is also interesting."

"What do you say about Brother Jiu?"

Gao Yu ordered two bowls of tofu soup and a large plate of snails.

He lowered his voice and said, "Although the wine and food in the Wantou store are ordinary people, most of the guests who come and go to the country are ordinary people who seek the founding father. However, this Guanqiao Street is indeed the most important street in Hangzhou. This Wantou store has at least twenty years. Most of them have powerful means to attract customers if they can stand in this position for twenty years."

As he was talking, the bartender brought two bowls of tofu soup and a plate of snails.

Gao Yu said: "Second brother, it's a great choice to try the tofu soup here."

Wu Song naturally would not be polite, so he scooped a spoonful of them with a spoon and nodded repeatedly.

"Although there are such real local characteristics, there are also big restaurants, they often cannot make the real taste. On the contrary, the Wantou Shop and Sheep Restaurant on the roadside can be made for a long time, and most of the big restaurants can be used to make it.

"I can understand this."

Wu Song ate a lot along the way just now, so he was not very hungry.

A bowl of tofu soup is just right, but the snails... Most people in Hangzhou don't like to use tags for eating snails, but suck them directly with their mouths. This is probably a talented skill! Wu Song saw Gao Yu twisting a screw, sucking it on his mouth, and then ate the snail meat into his mouth. But after sucking for a while, he didn't hear any movement, so he had to use tags to pick out the snail meat.

"This thing is not very good."

"My second brother likes big fish and meat. It's also a bit of experience to try this Jiangnan snack occasionally."

Gao Yu was just talking, suddenly stood up and waved to the outside of the store, "Little Deer!"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. A girl hung a bamboo basket on her arms and ran wet to a stone sign opposite the Wantou Store to shelter from the rain. Gao Yu recognized that the girl was a deer, so he waved and shouted.

Xiaolu was also surprised when she saw Gao Yu, so she hurriedly walked across the street and walked into the Wantou Shop.

At this time, there were not many customers in the Wantou store.

After Xiaolu came in, she walked to the table with a smile, "Brother Jiu, why are you here?"

"Under the Guanqiao Bridge, Matoudian, the tofu soup from Lao Ma's family is awesome in Hangzhou. People say that if you don't eat a tofu soup in Hangzhou, it will be a waste of time.

Haha, so let me try the characteristics here with my second brother.”

Xiaolu speaks in Hangzhou dialect, so Gao Yu naturally answers in Hangzhou dialect.

"The deer, what should I do when I rain so heavily?"

"Sell lotus leaf cakes."

The deer said, putting the bamboo basket with her arms on the table.

The bamboo basket was covered with a layer of cloth. When she lifted it up, the lotus leaf cake inside revealed.

"Date Hoop Lotus Leaf Cake? Made it yourself?"

"Well, Brother Jiu, try it. It was just made by Xiaolu."

Date hoop lotus leaf cake is also a relatively special snack in Hangzhou.

The lotus leaf cake made by Xiaolu has a very delicious taste, is glutinous and sweet at the mouth, and is very delicious.

Gao Yu was not polite, so he took a lotus leaf cake and ate it. Then he nodded repeatedly, took another one and handed it to Wu Song.

"Second brother also tried it, Xiaolu's craftsmanship is good."

Hearing Gao Yu's praise, the deer's eyes smiled into the shape of a crescent moon.

Wu Song doesn't like sweets very much. In his opinion, nothing is as good as big fish and meat. It is delicious with JD's unique big cooked cake, which is the big steamed bun. However, under Xiaolu's expectant gaze, he couldn't just eat one bite, so he gritted his teeth and ate the lotus leaf cake, and praised it.

He didn't recognize Xiaolu, and it was even more impossible for him to associate the innocent and cute girl in front of him with the woman wearing heavy makeup in Qingxi Pavilion the day before yesterday. He was a little curious, when did Brother Jiu meet this woman?

"Little Deer, where are you going?"

"Well, I heard that there will be movies on Meijiaqiao tonight, and many people will go there.

I thought that I could make some lotus leaf cakes to sell and make some money back. Although my father's illness was cured, my body was still weak. The third brother did not let me go to Qingxi Pavilion, so I had to think about making some money, buying some meat, and replenishing my father's body.

But unexpectedly, it suddenly rained, and there were probably not too many people over there.”

Xiaolu went to Qingxi Pavilion before, mainly to make money to treat her father.

Now that the disease has been cured, it is reasonable for Huang Ai to stop her from going again... This is a good girl, a filial girl.

Although Wu Song still did not associate Xiaolu with the women in Qingxi Pavilion before, his eyes showed admiration.

"This cake is delicious, and I can still eat it.

Then... little girl, give me another try."

The deer naturally would not refuse, so she took another lotus leaf cake and handed it to Wu Song.

Gao Yu looked at Wu Song in surprise, pushed the snails in front of Xiao Lu, and asked the bartender to have a bowl of tofu soup.

"Little Deer, ask for something."

"What are the instructions for Brother Jiu?"

"Do you know, your brother Huang San has any friends in Hangzhou?"

"friend?"

The deer was stunned, picked up a snail, and sucked out the snail meat in an instant.

The process was like flowing water, which was smoother than Gao Yu sucking. Wu Song looked around and was surprised, so he also took a snail and sucked it on his lips for a long time. His lips were about to swollen, and the snail was not sucked out.

This may really be a talent!

"My third brother grew up in Hangzhou and has a wide connection..."

Xiaolu thought for a while and replied, "But most of his friends are not considered real friends. Even the third brother himself said that a group of friends are nothing to count. If you want to say that they can be considered real friends... Zhang Daoyuan and Zhang Jiu are counted as one on the Chongxin Sect, and Chen Gang and Shen Dalang are counted as one on the Zhongwazi Taipingfang..."

"Are there no one from the third brother's friends from the north?"

“Northern?”

Xiaolu said: "After Brother Jiu said this, I remembered it.
