When I found an opportunity to interject, I wanted to hit Lei Jiajia quickly to prevent her from publicizing me as a bad person or a long-distance friend.

"How did you, a graduate student, feel when you were hanging out with undergraduate students just now?" I said, wanting to continue to find loopholes in her.

"You don't understand this? I gave them a substitute class. I called you the wrong teacher, and you called me the wrong classmate. Professor Zhang is usually busy, but she insists on teaching an undergraduate class, so I, my proud disciple, have to teach

It’s natural for me to share more of the burden and lead them in activities,” Lei Jiajia said.

"Okay, okay, Jiajia and I are discussing some academic matters, so don't interrupt us." Hua Wen said to me at this time.

"Teacher Li, you are so awesome. An hour ago you said you wanted to go to the toilet, but you couldn't hold it in until now. Do you want me to take you there?" Lei Jiajia did not listen to Hua Wen and continued to provoke me.

Hua Wen gave me a strange look, and I ignored Lei Jiajia, but I felt that being here was boring and useless, so I left the building on the pretext of going out to visit the campus.

The planning and construction of Tarim University is very square, and the greening is very good. But I felt that there was no place to go, so I sat in a daze at the door of the building. At this time, my mobile phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number from Chongqing, and I pressed the answer button.

Button. I used to be very averse to harassing phone calls, but since I opened the store, some vendors and customers may call my number, so I almost always answer the calls.

"Hey, Brother Miwa, I'll give you a chance. If you have nothing to do now, go to the pedestrian street. There is an ethnic restaurant called New Maxilep there. If you go and get a seat, there will be no seats." A female voice said.

said.

"Sorry, you dialed the wrong number." I hung up the phone after saying that, and then Hua Wen called again.

"Listen to Jiajia's arrangement. Go and grab a seat first. Go out of the south gate and turn right. There is a new Mai Xi Lai Pu restaurant on the roadside. Professor Zhang, Jiajia, I, and I will go there in a while. You can order first." Hua

Wen said.

"Ah, the number in Chongqing just now belongs to that ridiculous kid? So the phone number and WeChat message she left me before are all fake?" I said, I feel always being deceived and very shocked. I have always been

She is an innocent female student with no scheming ideas.

But since Hua Wen said it, I walked to the pedestrian street. In my opinion, Tarim University is in the city center.

If you can get there, it's actually quite downtown.

I originally thought that this pedestrian street was the pedestrian street of Tarim University. University-owned pedestrian streets are very common in mainland universities. There will be a pedestrian street mainly serving students next to the campus. It is not big but full of characteristics.

After walking for one kilometer, I arrived at the pedestrian street. In fact, most of the roads were walked on campus. When I arrived, I discovered that although it is separated from Tarim University by a wall, this pedestrian street is the pedestrian street of Alar City.

The new Meixilepu Restaurant is easy to find. There is a barbecue stove made of red copper that looks like a small house at the entrance, as well as a naan pit. There are several whole sheep hanging on the iron rack next to it, and a meat pile is piled on top.

Full of chopped mutton, a Uyghur man in a white chef's uniform is grilling skewers, and another guy in a black T-shirt is skewering the meat.

When I entered, I found that half of the people were already seated. Most of them were students. It seemed that the students were having a sports meeting and were very relaxed. I found a more spacious seat, closer to the inside, and asked for the menu first to look at it.

The decoration style of this store to me feels very similar to that of Kashgar restaurants. Part of the ceiling is made into a vault effect, with crystal chandeliers and broken colored glass mosaic chandeliers. The walls are all covered with special patterns, and the color is mainly golden yellow with a little blue.

Color embellishment.

I remembered what I analyzed for Hua Wen. Due to the collision of Eastern and Western cultures along the Silk Road, this style has a relatively strong Bohemian style, or it is a Bohemian style that is a mixture of Russian style and Southern Xinjiang style.

The chairs are all wooden-bottomed sponge chaise longues wrapped in gold, blue and red velvet. Since the chaise longues are relatively wide, the space becomes narrow. The advantage is that everyone has a seat that is more comfortable than the sofa. The disadvantage is that the inside

When people come in and out, the people on the outside need to get up and let them out.

"This is one of the few restaurants in Alar where you can eat authentic Xinjiang cuisine, but it is a bit expensive. We can't come here often. We try to come here once a year." A student nearby said, and these college students gathered together to eat.

See the menu.

There are no private rooms in this restaurant. I read the menu. To be honest, the dishes are not expensive, and some dishes are even cheaper than Kashgar. I called the waiter and quickly ordered their specialties: medium-sized large plate of native chicken and pizza.

, yellow-noodle barbecue, shredded sweet potatoes, Tarim grilled fish, naan meat, tiger vegetables, fried mushrooms, mutton skewers and yogurt.

"Let's do these first. Don't cook any of them yet. Let me bake five barbecues first, and wait for the other people to come and cook the rest." I explained to the waiter.

"How many people are there? Do you want a piece of roasted whole lamb? It's our signature dish." The waiter asked when he saw that I seemed to be very good at ordering.

"Five people, please hold the table next to me for a while. I'm afraid there will be more than five people here. Let's start with one kilogram of roasted whole lamb." I saw that his roasted whole lamb was ninety-eight one kilogram.

, much cheaper than those in Hotan, so I ordered one. I thought I wouldn’t be too stingy about treating Professor Zhang to dinner.

"Hello, classmates, are you students at Tarim University? Is this pedestrian street from your school or the city?" I asked a few students who were still looking at the menu.

"I don't know, this is called Bachelor Street, maybe it belongs to the school." One of the little boys said.

"Oh, thank you, do you have any ethnic students in your school?" I asked curiously. I checked on my mobile phone that Alar City is a city of the Corps, so Han people account for more than 90% of the local population, so there are ethnic restaurants in the city.

Not much.

"I don't know the specifics. When I entered school, it was said that about 30% of the students were from ethnic groups." The same boy answered.

There are quite a lot of people eating barbecue at the moment. I waited for a long time for the barbecue to be served. After eating it in threes and fives, I remembered to compare it with the barbecue in Kashgar. It seems to be about the same.

I was a little anxious to wait, so I went outside to buy fruits and melon seeds. I imitated the way people in Kashgar treat guests and prepared some snacks. When I sat down again, I picked up the phone and called the number in Chongqing: "Lei Renjia, can you tell me

When will you and I arrive? How many of us will there be? I’ve already finished all the food.”

"Brother Sanlun, you reminded me, you can call me Lei Jiaren. There are five of us, and we also asked a junior brother to drink with you. We will be here soon, and we have already gone out." Lei Jiajia said.

Hearing this meant that I had found someone to accompany me. I was a little worried. It was okay for me to drink some beer, but the white one was not good at all. Mire got me back last time. There is no way I can expect Hua Wen to get me this time.

gone back.

While I was asking the waiter to start cooking, and thinking about how to avoid drinking liquor, Hua Wen and Professor Zhang came over, including me, six people. They introduced that among the other two people, the boy with the eyes was Professor Zhang.

The doctoral student I teach is a life counselor who looks like a female teacher.

"Xiao Li, we don't have many places to eat in Alar, but this one is very unique. I heard Teacher Tong said that you are from Shanghai, so you should eat some Xinjiang specialties." Professor Zhang said.

"You're welcome, I really like Xinjiang rice. I just ate five skewers of grilled mutton first. It's very good here. You can't find a restaurant like this in Shanghai." I said, these were just polite words.

"Teacher Li, this restaurant is very unique. The large plate chicken uses local chicken, which has a more fragrant taste. The pizza is surprising, and the cheese used is very generous. Although it is not authentic, it tastes crispy and mellow. The yellow meat is grilled.

Noodles, shredded sweet potatoes, Tarim fish, and local mutton kebabs are all specialties." The life guide introduced it to me.

"That's great. I don't know what's delicious here, so I asked the waiter. I've ordered all of these. Don't be polite. It'll be delicious later." I said, fearing that they would pay first, I had already paid for the dishes I ordered before.

I couldn't think of any reason not to drink beer, so I ordered a beer and a drink.

Just as he was talking, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside, blowing over several parasols with distant sand and dust. Then a heavy rain began, and the sand and dust disappeared in the rain and fog.

I heard that the rain in Xinjiang usually doesn’t last long, so I didn’t pay much attention. At most, I would just run a few steps to the parking lot in front of the school and drive over.

"Brother Sanlun, you are so lucky. I have been at Tarim University for several years and I have never seen such heavy rain." Lei Jiajia said.

"You call this good luck? Isn't this particularly good for the desert? Populus euphratica seeds can germinate," I said.

"In our hometown, there is a lot of rain like this, but I have never seen it in the city closest to the desert. How many good things must be done to get it." Lei Jiajia said while looking at the white flowers outside like everyone else.

of heavy rain.

The dishes came one after another, and the table was full. Everyone was chatting very lively, and the topics were related to school and majors. I basically couldn't get in the conversation, so I kept eating the dishes and carefully experiencing the advantages of Kashgar.

shortcoming.

"Drinking makes a hero brave, and he is not afraid of his mother-in-law. Brother Sanlun, don't just eat food without drinking. Are you bullying our doctor brother?" Lei Jiajia finally got the idea for me.

"If you're drunk and cowardly, you have nothing to do with your mother-in-law. Brother Doctor keeps it secret and we'll stop at it." I responded to Lei Jiajia in Sichuan dialect.

"No, you can't let the atmosphere go astray. If you say something meaningful, I'll have a drink." Lei Jiajia began to persuade him to drink.

"Xiao Li, this protégé of mine is a girl from Chongqing. She is a very good drinker. You are trying to get rid of her." Professor Zhang said to me with a smile. When Professor Zhang said this, I remembered a meaningful sentence and said it immediately.

come out.

"The smoke and fire in the world are the most soothing to a wanderer's heart. As long as you have it in your heart, you can drink tea as wine." I said, and picked up the tea cup and planned to use tea instead of wine. It was obvious that I was declining.
