Don't fall in love with the professor

"The next thing you see is Tyrannosaurus rex, which lived in North America at the end of the Cretaceous period. It is one of the latest dinosaurs to appear, but it is the most famous carnivorous dinosaur. Its body length is about 11.5 to 14.6 meters , with a weight of up to 8 tons and a height of up to 6 meters, the bite force of the upper and lower jaws ranks first among carnivorous dinosaurs..."

"Wow! It's amazing!"

"Look at its feet, they are - so big!"

"Who is stronger in a fight between a Tyrannosaurus rex and a lion?"

"Of course it's a Tyrannosaurus rex. Look at its teeth, which can crush a lion's head."

There was another sound of exclamation all around.

Jiang Xiaocheng stood among a group of children wowing in the house, resisting the urge to touch his forehead.

Ancient dinosaur fossils, a wide range of animal and plant specimens, various models... He always thought that such a natural museum was a place for primary school students to study outside of class.

"T-rex and lions don't know how to fight." Zhong Kexing said beside him.

"Huh? Why?" A child raised his head.

This question seemed to be thrown into the valley of echoes. Next, more than a dozen children raised their heads one after another, and more than a dozen echoes resounded in the dinosaur hall.

"Huh? Why?"

"The earliest fossils of big cats appeared in Tanzania, Africa, belonging to the Late Pliocene, 350 million years ago, and can be regarded as the oldest lions. Dinosaurs became extinct 6500 million years ago. They We won't meet at all."

"Oh--"

Stack after stack of "oh" sounded, and Jiang Xiaocheng felt that he was instantly plunged into the ocean of "oh".

The tour guide quickly took a group of children to the next sightseeing spot. Zhong Kexing and Jiang Xiaocheng stopped and stopped, sitting on the benches in the hall to rest.

"Here." Zhong Kexing handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Jiang Xiaocheng just felt thirsty, thanked him, uncorked the bottle and took a sip, holding the bottle in his hand, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

"Do you like to come to such a place?" Zhong Kexing asked.

There's nothing I like or dislike. If I'm alone, I'm sure I won't be interested in going there, but if I'm accompanied by other people, it's good to go for a walk together.

"It's very interesting, and I can learn something." The content introduced by the narrator just now can arouse people's interest.

"However, there should not be many museums like this."

"There are, too. I've been to some." Zhong Kexing said a string of names as if reporting the names of the dishes.

Jiang Xiaocheng exclaimed, "Have you been to so many places?"

"Sometimes it's work, sometimes it's travel—do you like to travel?"

"Um... it's fine."

"Where have you been?"

Jiang Xiaocheng searched in his memories, "When I was in college, I went to Hunan with my classmates to do research. I went to the ancient city of Fenghuang. Once on a company trip, I went to Suzhou... After my sister finished her college entrance examination, I took her to Chongqing for a few days."

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think of anything else.

"There are also some scenic spots in Hangning. I went there with my classmates when I was in college."

Compared with the places Zhong Kexing has been to, there are so few places, which once again showed the huge gap between the two, which more or less made Jiang Xiaocheng feel a little frustrated.

Zhong Kexing was silent for a while, then he said:

"You don't like traveling."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaocheng was startled.

Zhong Kexing's voice sounded convincing, "You went to Hunan and Suzhou because of work and study, and you went to Chongqing to accompany others, not once for travel."

He paused, looked at Jiang Xiaocheng, "You don't like traveling?"

This time, with a little questioning tone, as if confirming.

Such a light and fluffy word unexpectedly hit the deepest point in Jiang Xiaocheng's heart without any mistakes.

In the past, when Jiang Xiaocheng discussed "like" with others, he only regarded it as a topic, and you can talk a few words back and forth, which can avoid the embarrassment caused by silence and make the relationship between each other go further.

It's all people who just met by chance, who cares who really likes what.

But Zhong Kexing's questioning sentence by sentence gave Jiang Xiaocheng a different feeling, as if he really cared about his own preferences.

"It's not like I don't like it," Jiang Xiaocheng looked away, "I just..."

"Huh? What is it?" Zhong Kexing asked.

He was really listening to me.

Jiang Xiaocheng felt a warm sense of fullness in his heart, he followed his feeling and said:

"If you travel, you can see the local customs and customs. It's not bad, but if you take a car for a long time, I feel dizzy and tired, and I'm not in the mood to play."

Zhong Kexing frowned, "Are you motion sick?"

"At one point, every time I go home from a long trip, I have to sleep for a long day before I feel refreshed-but there are also good places to travel, and you can eat a lot of things that you don't usually eat."

"you like to eat?"

"Hmm! There are so many flavors. Only the local ones are authentic. I still remember the fish head with chopped peppers that I ate in Hunan. It was salty, fresh, and numb. The meat was not the firewood kind. It was a little fat and soft. That The chili should be specially processed, the flavor is very unique, not very spicy - the Maoxuewang in Chongqing is really spicy!"

Probably talking about something he loves, a blush appeared on his face.

"I like the duck blood in it. It's tender and has a strong taste! Suzhou's dishes are not spicy, and there are many desserts. The lotus root with glutinous rice is delicious, just stuff glutinous rice into the hole of the lotus root—"

"Osmanthus lotus rice?"

"Right! Have you eaten it too?"

"My mother will do it."

"Really!" Jiang Xiaocheng envied.

Zhong Kexing looked at Jiang Xiaocheng's face and hummed.

At this time, Jiang Xiaocheng belatedly realized that he had talked too much, and it was all related to eating. He was a little embarrassed, so he closed his mouth.

After sitting quietly for a while, Zhong Kexing glanced at his watch and suggested, "Let's go eat."

"So early?" Jiang Xiaocheng looked down at the museum's brochure, "There are still two places I haven't visited."

"Do you want to continue shopping? Or do you want to eat?"

Jiang Xiaocheng thought about it, but honestly chose to eat. He asked, "Then what shall we eat?"

"What do you want to eat."

"I also can."

When the two are together, it seems that Zhong Kexing is always making a decision. He thought for a while and suggested, "How about eating hot pot?"

Jiang Xiaocheng's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.

"Don't you not like hot pot?" He also said it was unhealthy.

Zhong Kexing pondered: "It shouldn't be a big problem to eat it once in a while, and I really want to try it."

Due to the hot weather, the air-conditioning in the hot pot restaurant is fully turned on. As soon as the door is opened, there will be refreshing cool air blowing over the face, which is so refreshing that it makes people want to shiver.

The waiter in uniform led them to the table next to the wall, handed them the menu, and briefly introduced them.

"What kind of pot bottom do you two want to choose?"

Zhong Kexing looked at the design of the menu and knew that the owner of this shop was focusing on spicy flavors, and he also remembered Jiang Xiaocheng's hobby.

"Let's order something spicy."

"You can't eat spicy food?"

"You can try."

You can try it...but if you try it and don't like it, wouldn't you enjoy this meal?

"Then... let's eat Yuanyang pot, one clear soup and one spicy."

He also asked Zhong Kexing if he had any taboos, and ordered popular dishes such as fungus, shiitake mushrooms, tribute dishes, mutton, and shrimp slips, as well as special dishes such as duck intestines, xuewang, hairy tripe, and chicken gizzards.

Zhong Kexing asked suddenly: "Are there any ready-to-eat dishes?"

The waiter didn't seem to have been asked such a question before. He was stunned for a moment and said, "There are fruits and snacks in the condiment section——"

Jiang Xiaocheng suddenly thought of a dessert, "Is the brown sugar glutinous rice cake made quickly?"

The waiter nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are served quickly, do you need to add an order?"

While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Xiaocheng consulted Zhong Ke to determine the taste, helped him adjust the sauce, picked up some sliced ​​melons, neatly stacked them on a plate, and took a few fiery red tomato fruits to make a delicious dish. Pretty bright accents.

After a while, the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes were brought up first. The glutinous rice strips were fried until golden, covered with a layer of thick brown syrup, and sprinkled with bright yellow soybean flour.

"The brown sugar glutinous rice cake here is very good. It tastes the same as the one I ate in Chongqing. You should eat it while it's hot. Try it soon."

Zhong Kexing heard what he said, and saw that the appearance of this dish was indeed appetizing, so he lifted a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The surface is crispy and crispy, but the inside is really soft and glutinous. Coupled with the sweetness of brown sugar and the fineness of soybean powder, the texture and taste are very good.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Xiaocheng asked expectantly.

"Well, it's delicious."

Of course, the treaters were very happy to hear such words, but Jiang Xiaocheng became worried when he saw Zhong Kexing ate three yuan in a row.

Busy stop him.

"Hey, don't eat too much, there will be other dishes in a while."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said, "Didn't you have breakfast early today?"

Zhong Kexing swallowed the last mouthful, and said, "I thought there would be radish buns."

Jiang Xiaocheng laughed, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I was hungry all morning."

Feeling that this is a great affirmation of his cooking skills, he felt a little happy in his heart, and said: "Then we meet in the morning, and I will bring you breakfast."

While the two were talking, the mandarin duck pot was served, and the waiter helped them turn up the temperature and put the dishes on the table one by one.

Hangning's dishes are small and exquisite, which are very different from those in Jiang Xiaocheng's hometown. Jiang Xiaocheng was worried that Zhong Kexing would not be full, so he ordered a lot, and the dishes were so scattered that they covered the entire table.

Afraid that Zhong Kexing would not be able to accept the too spicy taste, he divided the dishes into two halves, and put some in the clear soup pot and the spicy pot.

The hot soup kept tumbling, chasing each other and bubbling. The vegetables should be cooked the fastest. Zhong Kexing picked up his chopsticks, put them in the bowl, dipped them in the sauce, and bowed his head to eat.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Xiaocheng stopped him and looked around again. When he saw the waiter standing not far away, he settled down and waved, "Hello!"

When the waiter heard the voice from here, he turned his head immediately. After meeting Jiang Xiaocheng's eyes, he showed a friendly smile on his face, walked over quickly, and asked softly, "Hello, what do you need?"

Jiang Xiaocheng pointed to the plate in front of him and said, "This plate, can you help me get two more?"

There were already dishes on the table, but Jiang Xiaocheng asked someone to get them. Zhong Kexing didn't know what he was going to do, and was puzzled.

I saw Jiang Xiaocheng raised his beautiful eyes, "I checked the Internet about the hazards of hot pot you mentioned, and there is a way to avoid it."

"Avoid?" Zhong Kexing raised his eyebrows.

The author has something to say:

The scientific knowledge in the last chapter and this chapter refers to some professional books, but I forgot which book after I checked it. One is "Ophthalmology". I will make it up when I have time~
