Because of a design task, I got up early that day to go to Shanghai, went to Jiangyin factory to see the furniture production process, bought the earliest and latest train tickets, and hurried back to Taizhou Linhai. In the past, it was said that the Phi Xing Dai Yue was also between the Tian Geng family houses, and now at dawn and dusk, it runs to the Yangtze River Delta for thousands of miles. Appointment Ajie to pick up, as usual the old street to spend the night, the autumn wind is getting colder, the alkaline water surface of the cross street is still warm, a few cups of olive jujube wine fell into the belly, and he sighed and said, this is going to be in the past, we this Taizhou capital Of The Show only went to the provincial city to catch the exam, all the way over the landscape and water, needless to say, if you covet the scenery on the way, the mountain king cut the path, or the village girl is charming, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be a few months, you will miss the time of the township test, delay my name. Ajay laughed after listening to it, and said, are you talking about fasting a little more? A thousand miles of Jiangling one day, this is Taibai's fascination. Nowadays, as soon as the door of the high-speed train is opened and closed, the warm voice on the radio announces that you have arrived in another distant city. This is the benefit of fast, and the quick pearl connection between cities makes the old city trend up. I don't know when it started, but many novel restaurants gradually appeared on the old street: baristas from Shanghai, the front of the shop was full of foreign characters; the stinky tofu in Anhui, the crayfish in Jiangsu, and countless milk tea shops... A new shop has just been renovated, and the neighbors chatted at the door after dinner: "Foreign, I heard that this designer is from Shanghai!" Look at that lamp, so many! "What's so strange, you look at the designer of that house, and I heard that there is still a pug at the construction site!" "I don't think it's very good, the bells and whistles, the old street still has to look like the old street." "Old Zhang, you are out of date haha, too old will those people in big cities come?" Lao Zhang seemed to have drunk some wine at night, and his face was full of splashes: "The city wall is old? Is a slate old or not? It has to be old to have a taste! The original taste of people is coming..." Cross Street Alkali Water Surface is an old shop, as old as the wall of the old street, has long been plunged into the depths of Ziyang Street, the owner of the glasses seems to have not changed for decades, and the paving is still soaked shrimp, Sichuan watercress, fried bells arranged in rows, as if it has been there since the Southern Song Dynasty. The original street shop has long been subleased to the fashion milk tea shop, playing popular songs during the day, and the young clerks are shouting customers. Late at night, the long street is quiet, the shopkeeper put down his mobile phone, yawned and explained the kitchen, not forgetting to ask the date wine whether to add some ginger shredded scalding. Inside the store, there were three or four tables, one or two diners, as if you were going to visit old things. For a while, I was in a trance, thinking about the Chengtian Temple, Huaimin did not sleep, and walked in the atrium, but why is there no moon at night? Where is there no bamboo cedar? But only a bowl of alkaline water is owed. Fucheng wind, about in such a corner, borrow a little fireworks, a bowl of alkali water surface as the bottom, soaked shrimp waiting, olive jujube wine as a guide, streets and alleys between the cornices to look, the night is cool as water, the crescent moon is like a hook. Integration allows the pearl connection between the cities, and the fast flow of goods is spread all over each commercial block: Starbucks and other coffee shops have come, all kinds of milk teas are in the ascendant, a moment of on-site mussels to take pearls, and then Huizhou stinky tofu comes to open luxury stores, and soon it is Ningbo Youzanzi... The tides wash away the background of the old street. This is indeed a quick benefit. Cities are in harmony with each other because of datong, but cities and people, should also be different in appearance, vertical and horizontal connection, the big difference in the world of Datong seems to be particularly important, to the big, "only the national is the world", in the process of integration to maintain the distinct tradition of the city, rather than uniform. The Fanghua noodle shop near Baita Bridge is also a long-established shop, and every time I go, I will explain to the store: the dough skin pulls out two bowls. This "plucking" word is interesting, slightly ancient heritage, I don't know if it is a verb or a noun, but when you enter the pot, you have to pull the dough skin, as if the people by the pool have to do some stretching exercises before going into the water. In the early years, a friend made a fortune in Shanghai, occasionally returned to his hometown, about to spend the night, always went to the Fanghua noodle shop, ordered the dough skin to pull two bowls, leek pu melon egg shredded, shrimp pi mo to forget. Then cut some beef tendons, cooked beef, and boiled peanuts. Friends do a lot of business and are used to being flashy. When the plate was served, he picked up a slice of beef in his mouth, passed the dough soup, and said contentedly, "Well... Only when I eat this piece of beef in my mouth do I feel that I have really returned home. "It's actually a real benefit of slowness. Fast to think slow, slow to think fast, it is more or less the paradox of the human heart, the connection between the cities, the most perfect is probably Xiao Feng hugging Aju, saying in a long laugh. The great difference in the world of Datong, for the old streets of the Yangtze River Delta network Pearl Union, keeping the traditional style will certainly have real but far-reaching benefits.
