Chapter 218 The Eyeballs in the Soup
When I walked to the door of the hotel, I realized that the sky in Fengdu was still dark.
"Are you surprised?" The proprietress' voice came from behind, "Fengdu is only in the evening."
Turning around, the proprietress had already dismissed the young waiter girl, who was standing behind them, looking out into the sky together.
The sky is flickering with colorful neon light, other than that it is pitch black. Since the day before yesterday when Fengmian and Jiang Tang arrived here, they have seen this night sky, as if the city has fallen into eternal night.
Jiang Tang asked curiously: "Why, lady boss? Is there no day in Feng?"
The proprietress smiled: "There are still some, but it will be very short, and there will be a day after a very long night."
"The southern border has always been called the land of twilight, don't you know?" She said, raising her finger and pointing to the sky, "The daytime in the southern border will be short, and the dusk and night will be longer, you see, the sky is about to dawn. "
Feng Mian raised her head in the direction she pointed, a golden light appeared in the night sky, and the light penetrated outwards, gradually occupying most of the sky.
The setting sun rose slowly, and it was dawn.
Evening scene.
"If you two want to go out for a stroll, now is the right time." The proprietress returned to the counter, "Fengdu is the most peaceful time of the day."
Feng Mian nodded: "We are indeed preparing to go out."
Jiang Tang looked at the gentle woman sitting in front of the counter, thought for a while and said: "Miss Boss, your complexion is not very good, you should take a rest."
The proprietress's complexion was a little weak, her eyes were light blue and black, her gentle eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, it looked like she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.
"Okay, I wish you two a happy day." The proprietress smiled and watched them leave.
Except for the hotel, I found out that what the proprietress said was true, and the whole Feng seemed to have entered a rest. Although the flickering lights had not been extinguished, there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the road.
These people seem to appear only with the fall of night, and return to their lairs in the quiet morning, like nocturnal bats.
Jiang Tang grabbed Feng Mian's sleeve: "Let's go shopping, this time I didn't bring any luggage to the southern border."
She took Feng Mian to shop for a long time, and bought a bunch of clothes and daily necessities.
Wearing the couple outfit that Ginger Tang bought for herself, Feng Mian said with a smile on her face, "Now I'm really taken care of by you, Boss Jiang."
Jiang Tang walked in front, turned around and made a grimace: "Yes, you are my follower now."
"The boss wants to eat, and I will reward you to eat with me."
"As ordered."
There are many types of food in Fengdu, and snacks and meals from all over the world can be found in Fengdu.
In the early morning, many vendors were ready to close their stalls, and some shops also closed their doors.People here are indeed resting during the day and traveling or working at night.
Jiang Tang bought a string of candied haws, took a bite, and said inarticulately: "Well... many shops are closed, if I knew we should have come out earlier."
She handed the candied haws to Feng Mian's mouth, and Feng Mian took a bite.
Jiang Tang turned his head and looked around, pointing to a shop on the side of the road: "How about we go eat Oden?"
Hibernation has no requirements for food: "Anything is fine, just listen to you."
The two opened the curtain at the door of the store, and walked into the quaint roadside shop. The aroma of food came to the face, and the oden in front of the counter was still steaming.
The gray-haired old woman stood behind the counter with a kind face.
There were a few customers sitting scattered around the store.
Sitting on the table on the left were three big men wearing black vests. One of them had a scar on his face from the brow bone to the corner of his mouth. His ferocious appearance could scare a bunch of children into tears.
Sitting alone in the corner on the right is a man wearing a dark red hakama. He is casually dressed with an open neckline, and his original traditional southern clothing exudes a somewhat willful temperament.
The most conspicuous thing is his red hair, which is tied up at the back of his head half long but not short. He has one leg on the stool and holds a wine glass filled with sake in his hand.
Seeing Feng Mian and Jiang Tang enter the store, everyone stopped their original movements, the voices of the three big men who were originally talking stopped abruptly, and the man on the right corner also stopped turning the wine glass.
Everyone in the store turned their heads to look at the door in unison.
Feng Mian's footsteps paused, and Jiang Tang bumped into his back.
She rubbed her nose: "what's the matter?"
Jiangtang poked his head out from behind him, and finally saw the inexplicable scene in the store.
The old woman greeted them with a smile: "Welcome."
Then the other four looked away, and the three big men started talking again, speaking a southern dialect that Feng Mian and Jiang Tang couldn't understand, and the man in the other corner drank the wine in his glass and looked away.
The owner's mother-in-law smiled kindly, and added another spoonful of soup to the Kanto cooking.
Feng Mian walked into the store, Jiang Tang followed behind him, and the two sat on the seats in front of the counter.
"What do you two want to eat?"
Jiang Tang looked at the fragrant food in front of him, thought for a while and pointed to a few of them: "Here are a few."
The old woman took out the food for her, put it in a bowl, and poured a spoonful of soup with a spoon.
"Where is this guest?"
Feng Mian watched the action of the old woman taking out the food, and in the next second, she saw an eyeball in the soup!
He was startled, and when he looked carefully again, the eyeball disappeared, as if the moment just now was just his own illusion.
Without changing his face, he gently pulled the ginger candy under the table.
Jiang Tang froze for a moment when he picked up the chopsticks.
At this time, the three big men who were sitting around suddenly stood up and walked towards Feng Mian and Jiang Tang.
And the man sitting in the corner yelled something to the old woman, the three big men stopped suddenly, turned around and reluctantly sat back in their original seats.
When the old lady heard it, she raised her head: "Sorry, we are going to close, please leave."
Jiang Tang froze for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Feng Mian beside him.
Feng Mian held her hand and stood up, nodded, and led her to the outside of the shop.
After leaving the street, Jiang Tang asked puzzledly, "What happened just now? Is there something wrong with that store?"
"I saw a human eyeball in the soup just now."
Ginger Tang suddenly felt nauseated: "It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I was going to drink soup, but fortunately I didn't drink it..."
She patted her chest: "Isn't this some kind of butcher shop... Fortunately, I didn't eat there just now, otherwise it would be too disgusting."
After this, Jiang Tang didn't have the desire to come to eat: "Forget it, let's go back first, it's not convenient to carry so many big and small bags."
Feng Mian nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel first."
He still remembered the last sentence that the man who was drinking in that corner just now said. Although he didn't know what it meant, he would just ask the proprietress when the time came.
After all, the proprietress has lived here for so many years, and she seems to understand some dialects in the southern border.
