It's about to enter midsummer, and the school is on vacation. Chaoyang Street is a relatively remote block, but the business of Xiqin Restaurant is much better than in previous years. The reason is that there is Lin Shuyi here this year.
"Where are you going? What's delicious on Chaoyang Street?"
"Take you to a good place, the noodles inside are delicious, and the point is that there is a handsome guy inside!"
In fact, Xiqin Restaurant has been on Chaoyang Street for some years, but except for some elderly middle-aged people, it is rarely patronized by young people, the reason is that this restaurant is too inconspicuous.
The well-regarded signboard and the clean but non-distinctive storefront really make these young people unable to arouse the desire to go in and have a taste.
But recently, something is obviously different. Of course, the Xiqin restaurant is still the same, but there are suddenly more girls in it, even to the point of queuing up to eat.
"Xiaoyi, the tomato sauce noodles are ready."
Red tomato soup, sweet and sour aroma, a few emerald green dishes, a golden fried egg, although simple, but because of a spoonful of long-simmered big bone broth, the taste is different all of a sudden Wake up, refreshing and sweet, perfect for summer.
"Your tomato sauce noodles are ready."
The boy is tall and thin, with a figure of about 1.7 meters. He is tall and straight in a T-shirt and jeans. What's more, he has such a handsome face. When the corners of his mouth are raised, his heart beats. Holding the porcelain-white bowl in his bony hands is like a work of art, making the cheeks of the little girl fans present blush.
"So handsome!"
"See if I didn't lie to you. If you say that there is a handsome guy here, you still won't believe it. The noodles here are also super delicious. Try it."
"Why didn't I see him when I came back last time?"
"I heard from my mother that I just came here, but she said that she lived here before. It's strange. I haven't seen it once. He's so handsome. I should have an impression when I saw it."
"Whatever it is, my lunch will be settled here from now on, even if it's unpalatable, I'll admit it!"
"Did you hear what I said? The noodles here are super delicious, but they are unpalatable. You think that everyone who comes here sees the handsome guy just like you."
The girl picked up a chopsticks of thin white noodles with soup to cool them down, and after taking a bite, her eyes lit up. "It's really delicious! It's probably because there were no handsome guys here before. It's been open for so many years, and I haven't eaten here once. If I knew the noodles here are so delicious, I would come here even if there were no handsome guys!"
The two girls chatted quietly while eating with their heads together. They thought their voice was very low, but in fact everyone could hear it. The noodles are really delicious!
So because of this, the little girls who came to see the handsome guy were all attracted by the face of Xiqin Restaurant, took a photo and posted it on Weibo, and also included two side photos of Lin Shuyi as a gift, but in just a few days Within a short period of time, the number of retweets reached tens of thousands, and Xiqin Restaurant and Lin Shuyi became popular for no reason.
Lin Shuyi is naturally happy when the business is good, but he cares more about Lao Yang's body than this.
Because more and more people came to eat in the store, what Lao Yangtou originally prepared was not enough, whether it was bone broth or sauce, it was far from enough, so he had to get up earlier to prepare more, After a few days, my body can't bear it anymore.
"Hey, take it easy, my old arms and legs are really bad, but I can't bear it if I build a little more body, but the business of this Xiqin restaurant has never been so good before, let me tell you, It’s all thanks to small intentions.”
Although Lao Yang was tired, but so many people liked his face, he was also happy in his heart, and he didn't feel tired at all.
Lin Shuyi relaxed the movements of his hands, and carefully squeezed Lao Yang's shoulders, "Grandpa's noodles are just good, but with such a large amount every day, your body will definitely not be able to bear it."
"It's okay, so many people like grandpa's face, grandpa is very happy."
Lin Shuyi frowned, but even so, he didn't want Lao Yang to exhaust his body.
"Grandpa, or I'll help you do it, you teach me."
Old Yang was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Lin Shuyi was feeling sorry for him, so he was really relieved, so he stretched out his hand and patted his hand, "It's okay, grandpa can still do it, you're still young, this job isn't heavy but it's not light .”
Lin Shuyi always listened to Old Yang, but now he felt stubborn.
"Grandpa, I can do it."
At first, I just felt that Lin Shuyi was pitiful, living alone with no parents, and he was very similar to him. After getting along with him for a long time, I realized that although this child is only eighteen, he is a very sensible and good boy, hardworking and willing to work. It has never been hard work, especially treating him like a grandfather. He liked this child at first, and now he likes this child even more. Although he has a son and a grandson, but the grandson is far away and not close to him. It's not Lin Shuyi, he will probably spend his whole life like this lonely old man, he really likes this child from the bottom of his heart.
Old Yang thought about it, his eye circles turned red, and finally nodded.
"Okay, if you want to learn, grandpa will teach you."
Rather than calling it a restaurant, Xiqin Restaurant is better called a noodle restaurant. There is nothing else in it except noodles. The essence of noodles is sauce and soup.
Soup noodles should be fresh and smooth, and noodles should be fragrant and fragrant.
In addition to the common tomato sauce noodles, noodles with fried sauce, there are also braised beef noodles, tomato stewed noodles, chicken noodles in clear soup, sauerkraut pork noodles, and Xiangzi noodles. They are all simple and easy to make. The focus is on the sauce. The preparation of ingredients and bone broth.
Beef fried sauce and saozi need to be prepared in advance, and the shredded chicken is also prepared every morning and put in the refrigerator, and it will be good to add it when it is time to eat.
There is actually no special way to make bone soup, that is, Lao Yangtou has his own spice pack, which is considered his unique recipe. Except for Lao Yangtou, no one knows why the bone soup he made is colored milk White is also very delicious.
Old Yangtou taught Lin Shuyi all these things and said that he really wanted to hand over this restaurant to him, anyway his son didn't care about it, let alone his grandson.
The next day Lin Shuyi got up early in the morning, earlier than usual.
Because Old Yang said that if all these things are prepared, he will wake up at this time every day in the future.
"Just add three grains to this one. It has a strong fragrance. If you add more, the taste will change. Remember, add three grains to this..."
"This is Titian's, a small slice is fine..."
"The key to making the soup color and milky white is to have a fish. Bone broth alone can't achieve this effect. After frying, pour boiling water into it. After boiling, add the big bones. Remember to fish out the fish. Otherwise, it will rot after a long time..."
"And this one, don't forget this one, get rid of the fishy smell."
"The material of the big bone is also very important. Tomorrow you go to the vegetable market with me. There is a butcher shop that has the freshest and best big bone. I buy it from him all the year round. He recognizes me. You just need to say that it is from Xiqin Restaurant. , he will know how much he should give."
"Remember, you can raise the price, but you must not change the ingredients. Whether the noodles are good or not, the taste is all in the soup. The price of this product has risen rapidly, and the price of my noodles has also been raised, but the reason why there are still so many noodles. What an old customer is because my materials have never changed... "
Old Yang said while teaching, Lin Shuyi nodded, remembering every step in his heart.
Then Old Yang was surprised to find out that Lin Shuyi only watched him do it once, and the whole meeting was over.
Remember exactly how much and how to put those complex spices, what to put first and what to put later.
In fact, Lao Yangtou was a little surprised when serving the dishes earlier. Although he didn’t have many types of noodles in the restaurant, when he was busy, there were dozens of them to take away. Whether it's spicy or not, add this or not that, he can remember it clearly, and it's never been wrong.
This kid is simply not ordinary smart. If it weren't for his family... he would definitely have a great future.
When the sauce came out of the pot, Lao Yangtou tasted each of them. The salty and sweet taste is suitable, and the sauce is rich in flavor, which is exactly the same as the one he made. Extremely talented.
The noodles are not simple either. Some of these noodles are thin and some are rough. The thick noodles are usually cut by a knife, while the thin noodles are pulled noodles. The way is not easy to break.
By the time all the work was done, the sun had already begun to rise.
"Xiao Yi, what do you want to eat? We can't eat noodles every day. We have been busy all morning today, so we don't prepare anything to eat. There is a street in front of Chaoyang Street. There is an early morning shop in it. The breakfast is delicious. The variety It’s too much, I’ll give you the money, you can go and see what you want to eat, and just bring back some siu mai for grandpa.”
Old Yang took out the money from his pocket, but Lin Shuyi didn't take it.
"I have money."
After he came here, he basically didn't spend any money. All he ate was at the Xiqin Restaurant, and all he used was bought in the nearby supermarket. He had never been to places farther away, and there was nowhere to spend money. , but he also knows that no matter what he does here, it costs money, so he always has money with him, not much.
He usually doesn't even go out on Chaoyang Street, so this is the first time he knows that there is a place here that sells breakfast.
Lin Shuyi looked at the long queue in front of the shop, and raised the corners of his mouth.
delicious.
Before Lin Shuyi came to the front, he was spotted by a few girls queuing up to buy breakfast, and one of them greeted him with a smile, "You also come to buy breakfast."
Lin Shuyi: ...
Lin Shuyi actually has a strange problem, he remembers things very accurately, but he can't remember people, if he is not familiar with people, even if he passes by him several times, he will not remember, so even though the girl in front of him looks very special Even Lin Shuyi had no impression of it being familiar.
The girl was a little surprised, "You don't recognize me? My house is next to Xiqin Restaurant, and my grandma comes to your house to eat noodles every day?!"
Lin Shuyi thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered, this girl is the granddaughter of that woman who talks a lot, she is a sophomore in high school this year, one year younger than him, her grandma often goes to Xiqin Restaurant, and always talks about her granddaughter...
Lin Shuyi smiled, "I remember."
Lin Shuyi smiled and the girl blushed a little, turned around and muttered to the girl who was with her, but Lin Shuyi didn't care, his focus was on those steaming hot girls in front. on the steamer.
Same as Xiqin Restaurant, this is also a small breakfast shop, even the storefront is much smaller than Xiqin Restaurant, but although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it sells a lot of things.
"Boss, I want two chicken siu mai with mushrooms, a cage of crystal shrimp dumplings, and a purple potato crystal dumpling. Take them away!"
"okay."
Lin Shuyi's eyes narrowed even further, it seemed that there really were a lot of delicious food.
After queuing for half an hour before arriving in front of Lin Shuyi, the proprietress looked at him with a smile, "What do you want, young man?"
Lin Shuyi looked at the list above, and smiled deeply, "Just put one in for me."
The proprietress is stupid. Although she doesn't make many things here, they are very miscellaneous. There are more than ten or twenty items in total. One of the same? Can this guy finish eating
"take away?"
"Take it away! By the way, three siu mai."
Lin Shuyi returned to the Xiqin Restaurant with a few scattered bags of things. Old Yang was startled when he saw it, "Why did you buy so much?!"
Because he has never eaten many of them, he wants to try everything.
Facts have proved that young men with long bodies are really good at eating. Although Lin Shuyi was not big in size earlier, Lin Shuyi bought enough for two or three people, but he still ate it all by himself. Stomach, heaved a sigh of satisfaction.
The things in this world are really delicious, sweet and salty, he likes them all.
