Chapter 95 Food Street

Weekend afternoons are always the busiest time on Beta Town Pedestrian Street.

Without the pressure of class and the worries of homework, many students just slept in until the afternoon. After they wake up, they are full of energy and have plenty of time, so the pedestrian street with many bars, restaurants, and shops is particularly popular.

Perhaps the wizard in charge of the climate felt that the amount of snow that fell today was enough. When Zheng Qing and the Gypsy Witch left Shuangtangji, only scattered snowflakes fell slowly in the sky.

The wind gradually stopped, and some people who had stayed indoors due to the wind and snow took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright and the snow scenery was still beautiful, and they all ran out in a swarm to stroll around the small streets while enjoying the snow scenery.

As the most prosperous commercial street in Beta Town, professional wizards have cleared the snow in the center of the pedestrian street in Beta Town early. Only the sides of the road and the roofs are still white, which contrasts with the deep colors of the street. It is particularly Eye-catching.

The young government-funded students who had seen enough snow scenes on campus naturally did not pay attention to the remaining snow scenes. One of his arms was held by a gypsy witch, and he was stiff and didn't dare to move, for fear of offending the witch around him with his imprudent behavior.

Elena seemed more comfortable than Zheng Qing.

Not far along the main street, Zheng Qing glanced at a small archway in the sloping ground from the corner of his eye, and he suddenly stopped at his feet.

"Don't you want to eat delicious food?" As soon as the wizard opened his mouth, the courage he had lost suddenly came out of nowhere, and filled his chest again: "Over there, in the food court on the pedestrian street, there are Lots of delicious food.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the alley where the small archway was located.

The so-called food street is actually just a small alley on the pedestrian street of Beta Town, only a few hundred meters long and less than twenty steps wide. There are no gates on the left and right sides of the alley, just neat tall white walls. It was originally the dividing line between the two blocks, but because it is close to the pedestrian street and there are a lot of people, vendors who cannot afford to rent their storefronts gradually gather. Measure the boundaries of the land and start a small business.

Compared with the shops with loud names on the main street, these small vendors can provide very limited goods or services to the students of First University-students go to Yuanshusi to buy Fa books, Sanwei Bookstore to buy textbooks, and Sanwei Bookstore to buy free books. Clothes include floor-length hanging, green spinning, Yun Xiangyi, department stores include Green Grocery Store, watches include Hook Brothers Watch Shop, jewelry include Mu Shi Niang, daily necessities include mirror paintings, gifts include Apple Pavilion, and even those taboos There is also a wandering bar to take care of products and gray-colored guys.

After several twists and turns, these small vendors finally found a just-right breakthrough - the cost of making delicious food is not high, and they can take advantage of the abundant customer flow on the main street. As long as they have one or two unique skills, they will not worry about not being able to continue their business - and therefore , this alley gradually became a professional 'food street'.

The committee that manages the town was belatedly aware of the situation, but it was not stupid. After the street took shape, it was slightly organized and brought under unified management, and a small archway was erected at the entrance of the alley as a unified facade. This not only expands the market and employment, adds features to the pedestrian street, but also adds new revenue to the town's finances. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, even after becoming a naturalized citizen and becoming a 'formal member' of the pedestrian street, the vendors are still running a small business.

Pushing a cart, setting up an iron pot, boiling a few pots of hot tea, setting out a row of bowls and chopsticks, the more sophisticated ones, and hiring a few elves in aprons as waiters to help serve tea, pour water, cashiers, and do miscellaneous tasks; the less sophisticated ones Yes, even the fire in the stove does not use magic. Instead, it uses dead branches and leaves on the edge of the silent forest outside the town.

After the two people turned into the alley, they immediately felt the difference from the outside.

The shouts of the vendors, the flashing rainbow light on the simple magic signboard, the crowds of people coming and going, and the overlapping and noisy voices in the ears.

It seemed that in an instant, they came from the world of 'bright spring and white snow' outside to the world of 'lower people'.

This lively atmosphere full of life not only infected the students on the pedestrian street, but it seemed that even the weather was affected by it - originally because of the snow, Zheng Qing wondered whether the vendors here would go out of business.

"It smells so good!" The gypsy witch took a deep breath, her face full of intoxication.

Zheng Qing sniffed and thought deeply.

As soon as I crossed the small archway, I seemed to have entered a new world. The air is filled with the smell of various foods: sauce, acetic acid, wine smoke, all kinds of colors, fried, fried, steamed, grilled, all five flavors.

Round octopus balls, oily mutton skewers, rich braised vegetables, refreshing big leaf tea, all kinds of delicacies rushed into the guests' noses, stimulating their nasal mucous membranes; green green bees , yellow amber light, fiery red tobacco and wine, seduced everyone's greedy minds and stimulated their retinas; there were also shouts and shouts in the alley one after another, and the shoving sounds of you and me, which even more entangled everyone. Pedestrians walking here.

"Well, the charms on this small archway are very interesting. The range of the magic is very neatly controlled in this alley. No wonder there is a foot of snow outside, but there is not even a trace of muddy water inside." Zheng Qing Subconsciously commenting on the small archway they just passed by, he showed off his expertise.

When Elena heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"I've long heard that there is a food court in the town, but I haven't had time to come and check it out." The witch quietly changed the topic back to the original topic, with a hint of excitement in her tone: "You must eat enough today!"

"Definitely, definitely!" The young public-funded student also came to his senses. He turned around, took two skewers of fried balls from the nearby shop, and stuffed them into the witch's hands: "Try this, it is said to be from Mariana. It’s made from the tentacles chopped off from the old octopus in the trench...but I guess they’re just meatballs made from ordinary octopuses. At most, those octopuses were caught in the Western Pacific.”

"Hahahaha," Elena laughed so hard: "The boss is still here, can you say this?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The chubby, round-faced owner of the croquette shop nearby heard this and waved his hands repeatedly with a big smile: "We all know it's a gimmick... As long as everyone thinks my meatballs are delicious."

The witch rolled her eyes and gave one of the two croquettes to Zheng Qing: "Try it too!"

Zheng Qing hesitated for a second, then took it decisively, bit off one, chewed it, extended his thumb to Elena, and praised: "It's soft and smooth, oily but not greasy! It's really delicious."

The witch suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes:

"Don't praise me, praise the boss!"

"It's delicious, so don't eat too much...I plan to eat all of this street!"

"Wander around slowly, eat at each house, and eat a little bit at home."
