What Is The Experience of Becoming a Vampire?

Tongshi Town is under the jurisdiction of Jian State. The location is not far from the neighboring provinces. The landforms are mainly hills and mountains. Especially, Tongshi Town is north, and there are a large number of sparsely populated mountains. This is also the main reason that Xiang Kun chose this place. one of the reasons.

From here, it takes more than four hours to drive back to the city of Etong, which is also within the acceptable range. If there is something at home, he can return to take care of it in time.

Parents are not likely to visit him often because of work. It will take nearly ten hours to travel back and forth. Basically, it is only possible to come on holidays, reducing the chance of being “suddenly attacked.”

Xiang Kun, using the address previously received on WeChat, used a mobile phone map to directly lead to a newly-built commercial street in the town.

At this time it was close to 12 noon, but the pedestrian flow on the commercial street was very limited. Except for the two fast food restaurants beginning with M and K, there were very few customers in various surrounding restaurants. Obviously, this town has not been able to be here yet. Residents acknowledged that there was no excitement.

He asked to help find the farm site, a friend he had known since elementary school, called You Meng. When the elementary school was at the same table with him, the two of them studied all day how to play the arcade one-currency customs clearance, the King of Fighters 97’s combo skills, how to make their own fish hooks to go fishing, where to watch Doraemon’s latest big novel, and the lottery at the school’s store The knack is a good companion for fun …

Xiang Kun walked into a restaurant called “Youlong Hotel”, like most restaurants in this street. Although it was time for a meal, there was only one guest eating, which seemed rather deserted.

When a waitress saw Xiang Kun, she immediately greeted her and asked a little timidly: “Sir, how many meals?”

“Are you Boss?” Xiang Kun asked.

After a while, the waiter called out by the waiter from the back kitchen and was surprised when he saw Xiang Kun: “Hello?”

Even Mother doesn’t recognize himself, and Xiang Kun is naturally quite accustomed to the performance of his old friends. He smiled and said, “Fat, it’s me, Xiang Kun.”

When You Meng Elementary was nicknamed “Fat”, but now it is not fat at all. Although there is a fierce name in the name, it is still a restaurant and its own chef, but it looks tall, thin, and gentle. More like a teacher than a cook.

Hearing his nickname and familiar voice, plus Xiang Kun had contacted him on WeChat on the road before he came, You Meng quickly recognized who this bald robust man was wearing glasses.

“Fuck, you ca n’t continue programming, have you gone to move bricks? Entered the engineering world from the IT world … or the religious world? Practiced so strong … and got a bald head, this change is too great, fat boy This is how the house of technology houses is abandoned by you relentlessly. “

As soon as you recognized Xiang Kun, you instinctively started to spit out.

“Isn’t that ready to come back as a farmer?” Xiang Kun said with a smile, and then greeted nodded, a short-haired woman who heard the sound from a cashier not far away. He came back when you got married a few years ago and participated After the wedding, I know that this is Yu Meng ’s wife, and there is a long character in the name, so the restaurant they opened is called “You Long”. He had also joked on WeChat before. Since he used his wife ’s name, he himself You should use your first name instead of your last name. What a great name to call “Menglong Hotel”.

“You haven’t eaten yet? You go sit first, I’ll get you something, and eat it together.”

Xiang Kun pulled Meng Youmeng who was going to go back to the kitchen, said with a smile: “I was hungry on the way, I have already eaten it, you just have to eat it yourself.”

“Okay, then I’ll make a few side dishes.” You Meng was not polite to him.

Because there was only one guest in the restaurant, the dishes were finished, and there was nothing in the kitchen. You Meng and Xiang Kun sat down at a table in the corner to talk.

“Your shop, is your business a bit deserted?” Xiang Kun said bluntly.

You Meng sighed and shook his head: “It’s not just deserted, it can’t be opened anymore, the business is not good, the rent is too expensive, and it will be ready to close next month.”

Xiang Kun knew that after graduating from high school, You Meng didn’t go to college. He helped in a small restaurant opened at home, and then after the commercial street was built, he went out to open a store with the support of his wife.

If you want to talk about the cooking skills, You Meng is definitely not bad, otherwise it is not as confident as the investment, to open the store as a chef yourself.

When he first entered the store, he had collected all kinds of information subconsciously, from the smell of the two dishes that the only diners were eating, the physical reactions of the diners during the meal, the types and prices of the dishes on the menu, and the hygiene in the store. The situation has already reached a basic judgment.

“Are you really going to open a farm?” You Meng asked again, “Why not find a place near Echinacea? Or go to your hometown? What do you say there, traffic and economic conditions are better, The market will be bigger. “

“I’m just tired of the big city and come here to stay quiet,” Xiang Kun said.

You Meng nodded: “But the place I asked you for, my wife heard someone today, it seems that it is not what I said before, it is so simple to switch off without making money, it seems that the EIA procedure cannot be completed, so it was forced It ’s turned off. If so, then you can save the place and want to continue to open the farm, it is still more troublesome, supporting anti-pollution and pollution control facilities and so on, the investment is a bottomless pit. “

Since there is a “cheap” clause in the venue selection conditions proposed by Xiang Kun and him, in his opinion, there is naturally not much money invested in it.

Xiang Kun said for a moment: “Is that so?”

You Meng sighed, “You’re probably going to go on an errand for nothing this time, just go back to Tongshi and see your old friends.”

“It’s okay, let’s check it out first, maybe there is a solution.” Xiang Kun didn’t bother to say that, anyway, he was not in a hurry, and if the surrounding area of ​​Tongshi town is not working, then to find another place is his request Not high.

You Meng nodded, got up and went to the cashier to find his wife and took the car key and left.

“Wait a while, this is the meal, what if there are still guests?” Xiang Kun said.

“It’s okay. My nephew is watching in the kitchen. He will cook most of the dishes on the menu. If he doesn’t, he just tells the guests that it is not necessary. Anyway, this store will be closed.” You Meng said indifferently.

Xiang Kun said, “Don’t worry, let’s take a look at your kitchen.”

You Meng thought that Xiang Kun wanted to visit his shop, and then took him to the back kitchen, saying, “There are three boxes on the second floor. Damn, I also wanted to be elated. I think everyone now The income has risen, and the new commercial street here has become high again. We have to take the high-end route. The profit is relatively high, and the decoration is also a relatively large book. Alas … my wife is out of luck. Now, the dowry is all lost. “

In the kitchen, Xiang Kun saw You Meng’s nephew, a young man in his early 20s, who was fat and looked a little embarrassed. Under the introduction of You Meng, he called “Xiang big brother”.

“Let’s go, the kitchen is nothing to look at. I’ll take you to the private box upstairs. I spent a lot of time decorating it, and the art cells have been consumed.” You Meng said, and he planned to leave the kitchen.

Xiang Kun pulled him, “Do you have rabbit meat?”

You Meng said, “Rabbit? No, why, do you want to eat rabbit meat? That stuff is not popular, uh, I have a bit of bamboo rat meat. Would you like to try it? The combination called farmer brother, which specializes in bamboo rats, is very red. Now it ’s a lot more to raise bamboo rats, but the price has actually risen, a pound of 75 mother eggs! “

The nephew behind him whispered: “It’s Huanong brother …”

Xiang Kun said, “Bamboo rat meat is fine. Come on, I’ll marinate it first, and come back to show you both hands at night.”

You Meng was surprised: “You can also cook?” He knows that the character of this friend, if not really good, would not make this request in front of his chef who opened the restaurant.

“A little bit careful, don’t you have any other arrangements for this piece of bamboo rat?”

“No, you just do it.”

After Xiang Kun finished marinating the bamboo rat meat and letting your nephew You put it in the refrigerator, the two left the restaurant and took a small van to travel to Chongyun Village, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the town.

Jian State City is worthy of the statement that eight mountains, one water and one field, where the eyes are, there are mountains everywhere, and the roads are naturally winding and rugged.

In the last seven or eight kilometers, all of them were non-paved roads, which was quite difficult.

Fortunately, You Meng is an old driver. This road is also often used. Which pits should be avoided and my heart is clear. But even so, his little bread’s chassis was often scratched, and the crunching sound heard Xiang Kun’s frown, but he didn’t care about it, indicating that the car was experienced, tried and tested, for the bad road Health, is a trustworthy Old Partner.

“At first you said you were going to come back and open a farm. I thought you were kidding nothing serious. Didn’t expect it to be real. What do you think, with your ability, you should not be able to stay in a big city? You asked, driving curiously.

“I’m just too tired in a big city, so I want to live in the mountains and relax a bit. Look at my head, it’s too much mental power, and it’s bald.” Xiang Kun laughed mercilessly.

“That shouldn’t open a farm, it doesn’t easily raise.” You Meng shook the head said.

“Stop talking about me, let me talk about you, your restaurant, I don’t think it’s possible that you didn’t start a job.” Xiang Kun changed the topic.

“What can you do? You should have seen it when you came here. The whole commercial street was half dead, or the developer didn’t plan it well enough, and it was not enough. It wasn’t our store and a few people could change and so on.”

“In fact, the taste of your food is definitely not a problem, and you still have to promote it. Nowadays the traffic is so developed. If your shop is on fire, there is not much traffic in this street, but it doesn’t matter much.”

“Why did n’t you have a promotion. When I first opened, I also found a relationship to rent a billboard outside the high-speed exit for ten days to place advertisements. I also asked my friends to gather XNUMX% of the activities in the circle of friends, and posted on the local forum … … Oh, it ’s useless. The order that sells the most now is the order on the takeaway platform, but that profit is too low. My shop is too expensive to rent. So I think it ’s good. Delivery. “You Meng is also suffering.

Xiang Kun shook his head: “This year’s propaganda is not like this.”
