Chapter 367 A Gentleman Should Not Stand Under a Dangerous Wall
It was not the first time that Uncle Hu came to Nanyang. After getting off the bus, he took his niece and got on another bus with ease. They went to the city several stops away from the bus station and found a hotel.
On the way, she did not forget to teach her niece on the spot: "Places like train stations and bus stations are very chaotic, especially for a little girl like you. When you go out, you must not stay near the station. Otherwise, if you encounter human traffickers, they will kidnap you to the mountains and make you their wife, and you won't be able to escape."
Jiang Tian stuck out her tongue and made a face at her second uncle.
It was not easy to live again, so she cherished her life very much. Even if her second uncle didn't say so, she would never go alone to places where human traffickers were active.
After the uncle and nephew checked into a room, they went back to their rooms to put their luggage away, and then Hu Jianjun took his niece out for dinner.
Henan has been known as the "granary of the Central Plains" since ancient times, and its noodle culture is particularly famous.
Thinking that it was rare for his niece to come out, Hu Jianjun gave up the big restaurant where he had dined with other bosses last time, and took Jiang Tian to a street next to the old textile factory.
This street is similar to the "Night Market Street" that Han Jisong built next to the seafood market. Because there are more businessmen coming to the textile factory to do business, many family members of local textile factory employees open shops and set up stalls here.
At first, we only sold boxed lunches and noodles, but now we have a wide variety of products.
"Are you hungry?" Hu Jianjun turned and asked his niece.
Jiang Tian nodded obediently.
Hu Jianjun took her to a noodle shop, which was said to have very authentic臊子面.
To tell whether it’s authentic, you can tell by whether the tables in the store are full.
Hu Jianjun and Jiang Tian arrived late, and the tables in the restaurant were already full. The proprietress asked them to order first, and by the time their臊子面 was ready, the people in front of them had finished eating.
So, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Tian each protected the臊子面 that had just been served in front of them, and watched the proprietress quickly clear away the finished dishes and chopsticks on the table.
There was not even enough time to wipe up the noodle soup that spilled on the table.
Hu Jianjun shouted twice, but the proprietress ignored him. He had no choice but to walk over and get a rag to wipe the table.
Just after wiping it, I saw my niece couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, stir the sauce on the hand-rolled noodles, and start eating it.
I don't know how the soup base of this restaurant's臊子面 is made, but it is rich and delicious. The臊子 contains diced pork belly, tripe, pork intestines, and small pieces of pork liver, which are stir-fried with onion, ginger, garlic and red oil, then poured over the hand-rolled noodles. Stir evenly when eating. The臊子 is spicy and appetizing, and the noodles are soft and chewy.
My second uncle was right. Henan is indeed the hometown of noodles. Fangjie’s fast food restaurant also has hand-rolled noodles, and they use high-quality Fuqiang flour. However, in terms of taste, it is definitely not as good as the hand-rolled noodles made by this small noodle shop.
The small bowl of noodles was quickly finished, but Jiang Tian was still a little reluctant to eat more. Hu Jianjun smiled and pulled his niece up.
"Come on, I'll take you to try some delicious food. It's a rare opportunity to come here, and there are so many delicious foods on this street."
Jiang Tian followed her second uncle and walked forward. As expected, there were shops and stalls on both sides of the street, selling a wide variety of food.
There are dozens of types of pasta alone!
There are braised noodles, lo mein, steamed noodles, flat noodles, heian noodles, and starch noodles, as well as various kinds of pot cakes, pancakes, steamed buns, dumplings, and flower rolls... It's simply an open-air "folk noodle museum"!
There are also stalls selling watermelons, melons, and various daily necessities.
Jiang Tian followed her second uncle, tasted a small bowl of noodles, and drank the local specialty oil tea, and then she couldn't eat anything else.
There were a lot of people on the street. Even though Jiang Tian was already a grown-up girl, her second uncle still held her arm tightly along the way, fearing that human traffickers would target his niece.
This made Jiang Tian both nervous and touched.
"Is the security here not that bad?"
Before he could finish his words, he received a "brain-bursting love".
Hu Jianjun held her arm tightly and kept mumbling to her:
“A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. When it comes to safety, you can never be too careful.”
"Do you care about the public security here? Let me tell you, your mother only has two children, you and Chengcheng. If one of you gets lost, your mother will definitely not be able to survive."
"From now on, when you go out with Xiao Han, no matter if it's a safe place or not, you can't act alone. Remember?"
Jiang Tian nodded dejectedly.
Jiang Tian, who was escorted all the way back to her hotel room by her second uncle, had no idea that in Shuangfeng Town, hundreds of miles away, a girl of the same age as her had been taken into a car by human traffickers.
…
Ever since he was rejected when he proposed to Han Jisong at his doorstep and was severely humiliated by him, He Mingming hated Han Jisong.
She must find a man who is more powerful than Han Jisong!
At that time, she would let Han Jisong choose for himself whether he wanted her wealth and glory or He Tiantian, that shameless woman.
She wanted to watch He Tiantian being abandoned by Han Jinsong, and then give Han Jisong an old and ugly woman, so that the two of them could never be together for the rest of their lives...
The idea is nice, but it is impossible to implement it.
After the high school entrance examination, He Mingming was thinking about taking revenge on He Tiantian and Han Jisong, but he didn't expect that as soon as the exam was over, He Tiantian went to Nanyang with her second uncle.
Han Jisong also left Shuangfeng Town and went to Jiangsu to buy a boat.
He Mingming wanted to take revenge, but found that she couldn't find anyone at all. She went to the seafood market to ask, but was almost taken advantage of by a greasy middle-aged man. She was so angry that she smashed her schoolbag and tore up her notebooks at home. Her parents thought that their daughter had failed the high school entrance examination and were quite happy.
It’s okay if he failed the exam. Their family was not rich to begin with, and they had saved some money with great difficulty. This money was to be saved for their youngest son’s education and marriage.
As for my daughter, it would be best if she didn't pass the exam, but went out to work for a few years to earn some money for the family. When she is old enough, she can find a husband and ask for a dowry, which is just enough money to build two new houses for my son.
Just at this time, a distant relative of the He family came back to visit. When he saw He Mingming, who was as beautiful as a flower, his eyes lit up.
He immediately said that he would find a good husband for He Mingming.
I heard from this relative that her son works in a coal mine, and is a small leader. The owner of the coal mine has only one son. Although his brain was damaged when he was a child and he is a little stupid, he is the coal mine owner's only son!
"Mingming's mother, think about it, if his brain hadn't been damaged, with his family's financial situation, how could your family have gotten such a good marriage?"
"Besides, the kid is just a little confused. He can do anything a man can do. We are all experienced people and we all know that men are just like that. As long as he can make Mingming pregnant, your grandson will be the next coal boss in the future!"
