Time flies
The day when I used to wear a school uniform and eat after class with my classmates in a trance was yesterday
Suddenly, I want to eat something spicy and spicy to remember my lost youth
Somehow I came here
A shop that has not been eaten for a long time but is not unfamiliar
The lady who walked into the store greeted me cheerfully
Not long after, a plate of beef fried rice noodles appeared in front of you
Eating a taste that has not changed in more than ten years
Listen to the hostess greeting with simple words and customers
It seems like an old friend
The years didn't seem to have left a mark on her face
It made me suddenly go back to the moment when I was wearing my school uniform
Sometimes groups of three or five meet here while eating and making trouble
Sometimes I secretly order the same taste as my crush
Sometimes my forehead sweats but pretends to be indifferent
It seems that a lot of things have not changed
But a lot of things have quietly changed
The shop has been renovated
In the past, the dark street restaurants became bright and clean
With disinfectant cutlery and free drinking water
What has changed is the one who once sat here talking about it
Or the group of teenagers who whispered
Maybe only the smell of rice noodles remains the same
The sign outside the door has been rewritten
But the color is still the white characters on a red background of the year
Not even the font has changed
In the surrounding variety of trendy signs
Only it seems to tell all who remember it
"I haven't changed, I'm still waiting for you here"
The hostess is a centre-back local
My husband is from Chongqing
Seventeen years without distraction
Take care of it
Although there was no publicity propaganda
But word of mouth has spread to diners
Most of the customers sitting in the store are still students
There are also many like me who were students many years ago
Now I grow up and work, get married and have children
Whether I'm going to grow old, I'm good
You will be an adult
Remember the taste of your youth!
postscript
I don't want to describe too much today about how it tastes
After all, Chongqing flavor is not necessarily suitable for everyone
But one family can open for seventeen years
And has always been recognized as an old shop
There must be a reason for it
"Don't forget your original intention, you have to always"
Thank you, Zhongwei's old shop!
