Chen Feng is the department manager of a company. At the age of 30, he is a promising young man in suits in the eyes of strangers, a business superman with strong abilities in the eyes of his subordinates, and a topical figure that relatives, friends and friends talk about.

However, only he understood how tired he was under his bright and beautiful appearance.

In order to increase the favorability of customers to themselves, he must keep a smile every day, not letting his leather shoes get dust or wrinkles on his clothes;

In order to set an example for his subordinates, he has never been late for ten years of work, because his alarm clock is always an hour faster than his colleague's alarm clock. In this way, even traffic jams on the road will not affect him;

In order to reassure parents who are far away in the county, the conversation always reports good news and not bad news. Even if they have a cold or a fever, they pretend to be happy.

Unfortunately, people are people after all, and there are always times when they make mistakes. Just today, his negligence caused the customer to get loopholes in the contract, which directly caused the company to lose more than 2 million yuan.

Originally, this little money was nothing to the company. Even over the past ten years, Chen Feng alone has created dozens of times the value of this loss. But what I never expected was that in order to maintain his zero mistakes, the senior management of the company actually fired him!

For a moment, Chen Feng felt that the whole sky had collapsed and wanted to close his eyes and never wake up.

But he couldn't do this because he was still behind him with his parents' expectations for him.

"It must be because some people in the company are worried that their business capabilities are too strong and blocking their promotion path, so they use despicable means to guide the development of things!"

Intuition told Chen Feng that his guess was infinitely close to the facts.

But what can it be?

There is nothing to do!

Chen Feng walked aimlessly on the street, and the bright street lights were like pairs of pity eyes, staring at himself.

Click.

The sound of the camera shutter attracted his attention. When he looked back, he found that it was a young couple standing by the street to take selfies, as if he wanted to keep the colorful neon lights under the night.

"It's obviously so dazzling!"

Speeding up his pace to escape from this place, he wanted to hide in the darkness and not expose his fragile self to others' sight.

Before I knew it, the light around me dimmed. When I looked up, I found that I was standing in the middle of a slightly bleak street, with many small restaurants with poor decorations on both sides, and there were endless shouts.

The floor is covered with red and yellow floor tiles. The floor tiles in many places have been cracked or vacant, and the rainwater left behind a few days ago is accumulated inside, which is very turbid.

Chen Feng subconsciously stayed away a few steps, worried that a certain piece of floor tiles would loosen, so when he stepped on it, he gradually put the dirty liquid on his trouser legs or leather shoes.

There were a few thin trees planted on the road, and not many leaves were seen.

Looking further forward, there was a stone tablet at the entrance of the street, with the words "University Town Food Street" written in regular script, but the font color was already dim, as if it was covered with thick dust.

“It turns out to be a food street…”

Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, he still remembered the grand scene of this food street when it first opened many years ago. Not to mention the crowds of people, at least it was full of people.

However, time has changed, but it has become like this.

He suddenly thought of his current situation, isn't it the same?

Gulu.

His stomach screamed in a bad mood, and Chen Feng then remembered that he hadn't eaten anything for a whole day.

Since he was promoted to department manager, he has never been to such a place. One is that it is dirty and messy, and the other is that he remembers that this so-called food street is not worthy of its name, the food tastes mediocre and has no characteristics.

Gulu.

My stomach was once again affected by the smell of various foods. Chen Feng felt his body weak and his legs almost unstable.

Several young people who looked like students passed by quickly and vaguely heard them arguing about topics such as "this family is full of weight" and "this family is quick to move".

"Sure enough, no one comes here to eat for the sake of the taste, so just have a meal here." He shook his head with a wry smile.

For Chen Feng, since he has lost his pursuit of taste, it doesn’t matter which one he goes to. If he can, he wants to find a restaurant without anyone to fill his stomach quietly.

Unfortunately, although this food street is dilapidated, due to its natural geographical advantages, many college students who are looking for cheap come to eat. For a while, he really didn't see a restaurant with few people, and even the barbecue stall in the middle of the road surrounded many people.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Feng was suddenly attracted by a unique sign, with four big words "Food Jianghu" written on it.

What surprised him even more was that except for a dark-skinned young man playing with his mobile phone sitting at the door of this store, there was no one in the store. Isn’t this my ideal choice?

Gulu.

My stomach seemed to feel Chen Feng's thoughts, and immediately urged him to speed up and move closer.

"Would you like to have a meal? Please come in." The young man at the door noticed his arrival and immediately greeted him with a smile, "This shop..."

Chen Feng waved his hand and interrupted the young man's voice, "No need to introduce it, just give me some special dishes."

"Okay." The young man poured a cup of tea and went straight into the kitchen.

"Although the decoration is not very good, it is very clean and looks bright." Chen Feng stretched out his finger and wiped the tabletop. There was no dust or greasy feeling.

Just at this moment, a light fragrance floated from the kitchen as if it were there and there, causing him to subconsciously wrinkle his nose and look puzzled.

…

"The fish-flavored shredded pork rice is ready."

Not long after, the young man put a large plate on the table. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Feng.

"Wait a moment."

"What's up?"

Chen Feng stared at the food in front of him. Although the fish-flavored shredded pork and beef sauce on the plate were fragrant, he would make his index fingers flutter, but he just couldn't be happy and even frown gradually tightened.

"Boss, I accidentally smelled a scent just now. What kind of dish is that?"

"this.."

The young man seemed a little hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Let's do this, I'll order one alone, right?" Chen Feng's face was displeased.

"No, you misunderstood." The young man waved his hand, "It was not a dish, but a traditional snack. And I tried this snack for the first time today, so I didn't have much confidence."

"It's okay, I want to try it." Chen Feng pursed his lips, but he still didn't plan to give up. "Don't worry, how to charge, I won't lose you one cent."

"If something goes wrong with eating, don't come to me."

Seeing Chen Feng so persistent, the young man sighed, turned around and entered the kitchen. After working for about two minutes, he walked out with a steaming white bowl.

"Here, this is it called 'Five-colored glutinous rice'."

Chen Feng couldn't wait to take it and saw that the food in the bowl actually had five colors!

White, red, yellow, purple, black silk.

Each color is shiny and crystal clear, with full particles, and a faint fragrance of plants and trees lingering around it, like a five-color rainbow floating.

Is this food...or a work of art?

He couldn't wait to take a bite, and then the memory in his heart that had been covered with nearly ten years was quietly guided.

A drop of cold tears slid to the corner of my mouth, and I swallowed it with the glutinous rice.

Some bitter, some sweet,

It's more like...the smell of childhood.
