Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 375 A big province that can’t leave anyone behind

The next morning.

Everyone gathered for breakfast and continued on their journey.

Unlike yesterday, Lu You, who was supposed to be sitting in the driver's seat and responsible for the morning's drive, was now lying on the back seat, closing his eyes and relaxing.

The driver was replaced by Su Huaiyu. .

More than an hour passed, and the sun was getting brighter.

The hot sunlight passed through the car window and hit Lu You's face, dissipating the remaining half of sleep.

Lu You opened his eyes, adjusted his sitting posture, turned to look at the passing scenery outside the window, and asked, "Where are you now?"

"I don't know, I've never been to this place."

As Tang Wan spoke, he took out a brand new bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Lu You.

"Here, it's better to drink some water when you get up."

"Thank you."

Lu You took the water bottle, raised his head, and drank most of the bottle in one breath.

The cool water flows all the way to the stomach, diluting the bitterness in the mouth and moisturizing the dry throat.

Deng Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at Lu You and asked doubtfully: "Master Lu, did you not sleep well last night?"

Lu You glanced at Tang Wan calmly, screwed on the bottle cap of the mineral water, and replied calmly: "The bed in the hotel is too soft. I'm not used to it, so I won't be able to sleep well."

"What about you? How did you sleep last night?" Lu You asked.

"Excellent! I have never slept in such a comfortable bed! As soon as I close my eyes and open them, it's the next day!"

Of course, it would be more perfect if Li Yu wasn’t annoying!

Deng Rui thought secretly.

"I envy you young people for being in good health and falling asleep." Lu You said with emotion.

"Aren't you a young man?" Deng Rui said amusedly.

Lu You shook his head, put a hand on his lower back, and sighed: "It's different. You will understand when there are two more mouths in your house that cannot be fed."

"What do you mean?" Deng Rui was confused.

Tang Wan turned her head to look at the window and gave Lu You a kick silently. Her ears were as red as ripe cherries.

Lu You raised the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "You will know in the future."

The car continued driving for some time.

Suddenly, a mechanical sound came from the navigation system welcoming the entry into the territory of Henan Province.

Tang Wan looked up and looked forward, and said with some anticipation: "Yu Province! This is my first time here! I don't know what the characteristics of this place are."

Lu You crossed his arms and thought for a while, then said, "Does stealing the manhole cover count?"

Logan:?

"What old joke? I'm afraid he's older than me! Say something else."

Lu You thought for a while and said, "The only thing left is the unique difficulty level of the college entrance examination."

"What papers are used for the college entrance examination in Henan Province?" Deng Rui asked curiously.

"Same as us, one roll for the whole country." Lu You replied truthfully.

"Since the papers are not different, why do you say that the difficulty of the college entrance examination in Henan Province is unique?" Deng Rui looked puzzled.

Lu You thought for a moment and explained: "The college entrance examination can be roughly divided into two parts. One is the examination in the examination room, and the other is school admission. The difficulty of the college entrance examination in Henan Province lies in the second part.

As we all know, the admission policies of colleges and universities give preferential treatment to students from the province, which is why many people want a local household registration in the capital.

There are too many 985 colleges and universities in the capital. Even if we exclude the top Capital University and Pudaokou Vocational and Technical College, the remaining few can outperform other provinces across the country.

The same score and the same ranking can easily reach the top 985 in the capital, but in Henan Province and our province, it is estimated that it can reach 211.

But if the competition is bad, we still beat Henan Province too much. At least we have two 985 big brothers, Shuangyashan and Wushan, to support the team.

Moreover, Yue Province is also the largest economic province in the country, with many large enterprises. If you are employed locally, the competitiveness of some good double-Africa colleges is no worse than 211 in other provinces.

Yu Province is in dire straits. As a large province, not only does it not have 985 colleges and universities, it even has only one 211 college. It also has the largest number of college entrance examination students in the country. The base is large and the number of repeat students is also large. Every year, it is rolled up to the sky. "

Logan took out his mobile phone and searched on Baidu, and was immediately surprised.

"130 million candidates? That's 50 more than our monthly province! It's really scary!"

Deng Rui also immediately took out his mobile phone to search. When he saw the astonishing data, he was amazed, "I guess those candidates who can come out of Henan Province will never want to go back in this life."

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to. After finally escaping from the sea of ​​suffering, there is no reason to jump back."

Tang Wan slid her finger on the screen. When she saw that there were only 8 college entrance examination candidates in the 985 26 schools and 211 [-] schools in the capital, she threw her phone aside.

It's true that I don't have the eyes to see it. If I do, it will only add to my troubles. Out of sight is out of mind.

"Stop talking about this, it sounds uncomfortable. Let's talk about something else. Is there anything delicious or fun in Yu Province?"

Lu You recalled the strategy he had made in advance and said: "As for food, the pasta and cold dishes in Yu Province are very good, such as braised noodles, soup dumplings, cucumbers mixed with schizonepeta, and gluten mixed with sesame sauce.

For fun, the most famous places in Henan Province are Bianjing and Luoyi, with many scenic spots worth visiting.Unfortunately, our destination this time was Greentown, so we had to miss it. "

"Bianjing, Luoyi?"

Logan muttered softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

"I've watched a lot of costume TV dramas, and these two places are included in them."

"Bianjing, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, and Luoyi, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, were once prosperous in ancient times and have profound cultural heritage. It is normal for them to be used as backgrounds in novels." Lu You said with a smile.

"How about we go to Bianjing and Luoyi for a week after the winter vacation? Anyway, there is nothing to do when we go home, otherwise we go traveling to broaden our horizons." Tang Wan said on a whim.

Lu You did not agree, but said: "There are still a few months left in the winter vacation. No one knows whether there will be time then. Let's talk about it when we have a chance!"

"Okay!" Tang Wan felt disappointed, but she didn't force it.

……

It's approaching seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun is setting in the west.

Red light spread across the entire blue sky.

After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the second destination of the trip, Green City.

Although Greentown's economy is not as good as that of Yangcheng and Pengcheng in the Pearl River Delta, it is still the capital of a province and ranks among the first-tier cities. It has all the high-rise buildings and radiance that it should have.

Since it was getting late, everyone did not choose to go to the hotel. Instead, they drove into the residential area and found an old shop that looked a bit old to prepare for dinner.

After parking the car, the group walked into the restaurant.

The store is not big, conservatively estimated to be less than [-] square meters. There are three long tables and four small square tables, with a few customers sitting here and there.

There was a smell of mutton mixed with various seasonings in the air. It was a bit strange, but not unpleasant.Everyone found a long, empty table and sat around it.

As soon as his butt stuck to the stool, a grey-haired but energetic old man came over with a menu in hand and greeted enthusiastically: "What do you guys want to eat?"

Lu You looked around and saw the big blue and white bowls in front of other customers, and asked: "Boss, do you have any local characteristics here?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately understood, and the smile on his face became more eager, "Are you from other places?"

Lu You nodded and admitted, "We are from Yue Province."

"People from Yue Province? You don't see that often!"

There are many non-locals in Yue Province, but there are not many people from other places in Yue Province, especially in provinces like Yu Province where there is a severe population outflow.

"Are you here for a trip? But it's too late to travel at this time since school is about to start." The old man asked himself.

"Boss, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Can we order first?" Lu You reminded.

The old man came to his senses and apologized profusely: "Sorry, I interrupted the conversation! What you just asked about were local specialties, right?"

"Yes." Lu You nodded slightly, "What is your best thing?"

"Of course it's mutton braised noodles and mutton bones! I'm not exaggerating, our family..."

Lu You quickly interrupted the old man's story-telling session and said, "Then let's have eight bowls of mutton braised noodles. Look at the mutton bones. We can all eat them."

It's not that Lu You doesn't respect the old man, it's just that he is very hungry.

He only ate two pieces of bread at noon, which was completely digested long ago. He also drove for several hours in the afternoon. If he didn't eat dinner quickly, he might starve to death here.

"Would you like cold dishes?"

"A few appetizers."

"Wait 5 minutes, I'll cook it for you right away!" The old man wrote down the menu and turned back to the kitchen.

People from Yu Province are not like people from Yue Province.

The five minutes for people from Yue Province are five minutes as defined by themselves, while the five minutes for people from Yue Province are three hundred seconds in real terms.

While we were talking, eight bowls of fragrant mutton braised noodles, two large basins full of lamb bones, and four plates of exquisite cold dishes were placed in front of everyone.

The old man wiped his hands on his apron and said, "Come on, try my skills!"

Lu You picked up the chopsticks and stirred it twice in the bowl.

The noodles are wide noodles two fingers wide, and the soup is a thick white broth. There is a layer of mutton oil floating on the surface of the soup, as well as other ingredients such as coriander, chopped green onion, minced mutton, and a strong smell of mutton.

Lu You picked up a handful of noodles, blew away the heat, and carefully put it into his mouth.

"How does it taste?" the old man asked eagerly.

Lu You didn't respond. He sucked the whole noodle into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

"Boss, are you doing this by hand?"

There is a huge difference between hand-made noodles and machine-made noodles, and you can tell by trying them.

"Of course!"

The old man said proudly: "From the flour to the noodles, I made the whole process by myself. I am a child without any deception!"

Lu You lowered his head and took a sip of the noodle soup, and the unique taste burst out in his mouth.

The flavor of mutton is intertwined with various seasonings, which is difficult to describe in words.

"This soup is so delicious! I have never tasted anything like this before!" Lu You praised sincerely.

"Haha! Young man, you know the goods!"

The old man pointed to the two pots of mutton bones on the table and said: "My mutton soup is made with these mutton leg bones and mutton scorpions. It is boiled until the soup turns the color of milk. There is absolutely no technology or hard work." !”

The others also picked up their chopsticks.

It has to be said that there is a reason why an old store is an old store.

The mutton bones were stewed very well and soaked up enough soup water. The bones fell off as soon as you sipped and the meat was filled with juice.

The four dishes of cold dishes are not simple, especially the sesame sauce mixed with gluten. One bite is like squeezing a sponge, and your mouth is full of juice.

After finishing the noodles, drinking the noodle soup, and chewing off three mutton bones, Lu You took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and said: "Boss, with your skills, it would be a waste not to open a chain store! Let's do this, you come to Yue Province, I provide the capital, you provide the technology, and we join forces to become bigger and stronger together!”

The old man couldn't help but laugh and said disapprovingly: "To make it bigger and stronger, opening a chain store is very expensive. I think you are only in your early 20s at most. How much capital can you spare? Do you have twenty thousand?"

Everyone's expressions instantly became strange.

2 yuan?

This is an insult to Brother Fu!

"If you dare to do it with me, I will raise investment, believe it or not?"

The old man waved his hand, thinking that Lu You was joking.

"Forget it, I'm old and don't have the energy of young people, so I can't make it. Besides, even if my mutton braised noodles sell well, once I go to other provinces, there is a high chance that others won't be able to get used to it. Besides, , some craftsmanship cannot be taken away!”

""

"That's it!"

Lu You didn't insist anymore, grabbed a mutton bone, tore off the mutton and fed it to Tang Wan's mouth.

After a while, everyone was full and full.

Lu You scanned the QR code on the store door and asked, "Boss, how much does it cost?"

The old man poked his head out from the kitchen door curtain and said, "It's your first time here. I'll give you a discount. Let's take 200!"

Lu You raised his eyebrows.

Eight people, only two hundred.

This price is really affordable.

Lu You put his thumb on the fingerprint recognition area. When the payment bell rang, he shouted: "Boss, we are leaving. I will help you again next time you come to travel!"

"There may not be a next time! When the rent is due at the end of the year, we will be closed!"

Lu You was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why? Is the business not good?"

"No, business is very good. It's my child who's urging me to live with him. He's been urging me for several years. I don't want to delay it any longer."

"Then there's no need to close the business, right? You can find a young apprentice and pass on your skills to him."

"Ha ha!"

There was a bit of bitterness in the old man's words, and he said: "There are no young apprentices, they have all gone to other provinces to work! The young people in Henan Province all aim to leave Henan Province!"
