When I was a child, I could only go to Jiefangbei once during the holidays. Every time I went to Jiefangbei, I

must do two things: one was to read in Xinhua Bookstore, and the other The first thing is to eat a bowl of delicious hot and sour noodles from the street

.

I remember that every time I came out of Xinhua Bookstore, it was almost dark and I was already hungry

so what I looked forward to most was to have a bowl of it right away. Hot and sour spicy

noodles.

There are several shops selling hot and sour noodles on Haochi Street, but the tastiest one is the one on the left next to the department store electrical appliances.

But it is not easy to eat the hot and sour noodles in this restaurant. First of all

You have to have enough patience. Usually when we rush to the intersection, we will see the long and long noodles in the distance

The crowds lined up from the marble steps to the sidewalk, surrounded by people standing or sitting with their heads bent

Eating, the dark heads in the dusk were like the waves of the woods on the mountains, not yet As soon as I walked in

I was enveloped by an invisible heat wave, and even my breathing became rapid. There

there was a layer of chili oil fragrance floating in the air, which smelled like An invisible hand pinched people

With their noses raised upward, people talked and laughed, and all turned their eyes to the small shop at the end of the stone steps

.

The small shop is only four to five meters long, two to three meters high, and one meter wide. A large pot stands at the entrance of the shop

Every time it is opened, there is a thick smell. The white mist emerged from the pot and dissipated with the heat wave. It was like countless white butterflies flying out of it. The dreamlike feeling captured the hearts of every diner.

. There are five employees in the store, arranged in order from the inside to the outside. Each person has a different division of labor, from the one who cooks the noodles to the one who packs the bowls. They are all very orderly, just like a small food processing factory.

After waiting for a long time, I finally reached the end of the line and took a steaming bowl of hot and sour noodles from the clerk's hands. At that moment, I even heard my own heartbeat.

The hot and sour noodles cannot be eaten immediately. They need to be stirred repeatedly with chopsticks. Eat them when

the hot and sour noodles are slightly cool and the chili soup and vermicelli are completely integrated. is the most appropriate. Gently

pick up a few strands from the bowl, green onions, red peppers, yellow peas, and brown minced meat also hang down with the vermicelli

like a colorful waterfall. . The crystal vermicelli is very elastic, and sometimes the chopsticks cannot hold it, and the "wow" waterfall falls into the bowl, and the red soup splashes, and there is also a "flow down three thousand feet"

", although it may stain the clothes, it injects the slightest vitality into a lifeless bowl of vermicelli.

The vermicelli is very long, and it’s hard to get it into your mouth. As soon as you take it into your mouth, you feel the fragrance overflowing.

The tongue feels like it has been hit gently with a small hammer. Suddenly, every taste bud is relaxed

, and the chili oil flows in the mouth and keeps singing. The scorching temperature is like an iron

ironing through the mouth, making people want to open their mouths and scream, quickly bite them with their front teeth, and grind them randomly with their molars. In a moment, it was swallowed into the stomach. The hot and tender vermicelli slid through my throat.

For a moment, I actually had an illusion, as if what I just swallowed was not vermicelli, but a ball of fragrant aroma.

The hot flames fell all the way to my belly, and everywhere they went seemed to be on fire. It was so comfortable that it was beyond words.

At this time, all the big and small things that made me quite unhappy seemed to have been burned into ashes by the fire

Looking at the diners around me, they were also like me Same, sweating profusely, dripping with joy, talking and laughing loudly, so happy.

Through the hazy mist in the bowl, everything seemed to be misty, whether it was high-rise buildings

or colorful neon lights, they were all blurry. Suddenly , I felt a quietness around me

Some plots and stories I had seen in books or on TV came to mind

In this wonderful atmosphere, I felt a sense of silence for some people. The sophistication of human nature that is usually incomprehensible has given rise to new understandings, including those bits and pieces of life that are usually careless and unnoticed. I felt an inexplicable feeling in an instant

. This is no longer just from the food itself, but more like this bowl of vermicelli opening my heart and awakening my soul like a key.

I remember that I talked a lot with my father at that time, but I only remember the specific words at the end.

When my father carried me home, I lay on his shoulder and said vaguely Saying "Dad, I will come here to eat next time

"

Suddenly, the aroma of hot and sour noodles drifted in the wind and got into my nose... …
