Han Rui parked the car on an outdoor parking spot in a shopping mall, then pulled Xu Muyun to an alley behind the mall. This was the famous night market in the North Sea, the merchants that passed by were all old people here, at least for more than ten years.
Seeing her staring blankly at something, Han Rui was afraid that she would be hit by passersby, so he softly wrapped his arm around her waist and said, "Be careful, don't get hit. Look around, what do you want to eat? The food here is very tasty, although outside, it's very clean, it's not dirty at all."
Hearing his boasting tone, Xu Muyun revealed a bitter smile: "I know, I've been here before, it's just that I haven't been here for ten years and have changed a lot. I wonder if the previous merchants are still here."
The hand Han Rui was holding on to her waist unconsciously tightened. Unexpectedly, the fact that he brought her here brought back her bitter memories.
"I want to eat smelly tofu, it's Wang Ma's tofu." Xu Muyun suddenly remembered the taste that she hadn't tasted in ten years. There were many things she wanted to eat, and all of a sudden, the taste lingered on her tongue, making her want to eat it.
"Huh?" Han Rui hesitated for a bit. Although he often came here to eat, it was only for food like rice flour or barbecue. He really didn't have the courage to try it out.
While he was hesitating, Xu Muyun was already beginning to look for the Wang Ma that she remembered as smelly tofu. At the end of the street, she found the long missed red sign and happily ran over, while Han Rui unwillingly followed behind her. He really couldn't stand that strange smell!
Xu Muyun saw that fat aunt from back then. Ten years had passed and she basically hadn't changed. Maybe the fatter people were more resistant to old, and she wasn't as skinny as him. She smiled with wrinkles all over her face.
She affectionately called out, "Auntie Crystal."
The name of the stall's owner was Wang Jingjing, and Auntie Jingjing was a favorite name given to her by a child who lived in this area more than ten years ago. It had been a long time since someone had called her like this.
She raised her head in shock. Although she couldn't tell who she was, she was sure that this was her old customer. She also enthusiastically greeted this cute girl, "Little beauty, I haven't been here for many years. I don't remember anything. What's your name?"
"Aunt Jingjing, I'm Muyun. I used to come to your place almost every day after school. Don't you remember me?" Xu Muyun said to her with a smile.
Wang Jingjing thought about this name for a long time before she suddenly cried out in realization, "You're Muyun! Oh, how can you grow up to be so thin? Your face is so round and cute. Did you lose weight? No, you're too skinny! You'll have to use so much effort to give birth to your baby in the future!"
Xu Muyun smiled embarrassedly and didn't know how to reply. At this moment, Han Rui also followed her slowly. He purposely slowed down because he didn't want to smell this scary smell, but he couldn't just leave her here.
"Are you done buying? Let's sit next to it and eat a bowl of wonton. It's hot. " He walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders.
"I don't have any money. I'm waiting for you to pay for it!" Xu Muyun naturally opened her palm. Han Rui took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.
Wang Jingjing looked at her and then looked at Han Rui. This kid didn't seem like the one who came with him at that time.
"Auntie, how much is one serving right now? Give me one, my husband doesn't seem to like this taste." Xu Muyun handed over the money in her hands.
"Oh, it's still 5 RMB per box. All these years my aunt never raised the price. It's an old neighborhood after all. That stinking brat didn't like to eat it before either. You just look at my tofu and drool all day." Wang Jingjing was generous and fat. She had never talked too much. She didn't realize that Xu Muyun and Han Rui's faces were filled with embarrassment after she said that.
Xu Muyun handed the money she found back to Han Rui, "Go buy wontons. I'm going to put in more seaweed, vinegar, and chillies."
Her natural reaction made Han Rui's mood a bit more comfortable. She was slowly accepting herself, walked to the wonton stall not too far away and bought two bowls of lean meat wontons. She specially ordered the owner to bring back a lot of purple vegetables and a bottle of vinegar, but didn't pour it in.
After Xu Muyun bought the stinky tofu, she ran towards him. Han Rui was afraid that she would fall down, so he carefully stared at her.
Seated at the small table, Xu Muyun ate stinky tofu while stuffing wontons into her mouth. As she ate, she felt that the taste was a little strange, she saw that there was no chili oil or vinegar, so she poured a spoonful of chili oil from the small bowl on the table and poured some vinegar into it.
As Han Rui looked at the soup that had turned red, his stomach felt as if it was being burned by a bowl of chili oil. "You ate so much red oil that it hurt your throat. Stop eating, I'll get you another bowl."
Xu Muyun shook her head as she ate the wonton, waving her hand as she said, "Eat more chili peppers to drive out the cold energy in your body, otherwise your legs will ache in winter. This chili oil is very tasty, and it's quite good. You try it, it's very tasty."
As he spoke, he picked up a plastic spoon from his bowl and handed it over to Han Rui, who didn't mind, and directly ate it. The burning hot and spicy feeling immediately filled his taste buds and the strong vinegar taste, what exactly was the taste? He hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and gulped down all the soup in his bowl, but the hot and spicy feeling in his mouth didn't reduce at all, so he ordered another bowl of soup, and before he even ate, he was already full.
As he watched her eat with relish, he couldn't help but think of the past ten years she had lived, how she had to constantly eat chili peppers to dispel the chill in her body, how she had to eat a lot of spicy condiments to feel the taste of her food, how many hardships she had to endure.
The hand on the table couldn't help but tighten. 'Yang Ziye, I will definitely get back at you for the sufferings of Xu Muyun in the future.'
After taking off the chopsticks in her hand, she took away her bowl of red wontons, gave her her her own bowl, and said in a domineering manner: "Even if you're not used to eating it, you still have to eat it. If you eat so much chili, your throat won't be able to take it anymore, and there's also vinegar, although it can soften the blood vessels, but you can't eat too much. "In the future, you can't eat too many things that are too exciting. It will hurt your body."
