At the end of summer, the wind at night seems to be soaked in the stream water, with a hint of refreshing coolness. The heavy rain that had been pouring for a whole day finally subsided slowly at nightfall, and the whole sky was foggy, gloomy and depressing, oppressing people's chests and making it hard to breathe.
It was getting darker and earlier, but there was still an endless stream of diners.
There is an inconspicuous small restaurant in the west of Xin'an County, Changdu Prefecture, and it is time to serve customers. This restaurant has been open for five or six years, and everyone in Xin'an County knows that there is only one proprietress in the restaurant, surnamed Xu, who is called "Xu Erniang" by everyone, and there is a six or seven-year-old girl with her. The proprietress looks exquisite and slender, and she always wears plain clothes. I don't know how many bachelors have become popular, and they are eager to hit a beauty luck.
However, the proprietress fell seriously ill within a few years of opening the restaurant. I heard from the old doctor in the county that the medicine for this disease did not work, and now she is just dragging her sick body to die. It's a pity that the little girl she brought with her was named Sui Sui, she was clever and lively, very cute, and she was about to become a motherless child.
The neighbors in the neighborhood feel sorry for their mother and daughter, and when they are free, they will go to the restaurant to sit and have a bite or two. It is strange to say that there is nothing else in this shop, only a bowl of miscellaneous sauce noodles, so it is named "a bowl of noodle shop".
The noodles of "One Bowl Noodle House" are freshly kneaded noodles every day, and eggs are mixed inside, which can be cut wide or rolled thinly. Cut all kinds of seasonal vegetables into bean-sized pieces, and then fry the onion and garlic in hot oil. When the fragrance comes out, stir-fry a spoonful of self-fermented bean paste with meat and vegetables, and scoop a spoonful of cooking wine , the oil is boiled again, the vegetables are cooked, and the soup is ready.
When the guests want it, just pour the soup just out of the pot on the egg noodles, and finally pour some sesame oil and sprinkle with minced green onion. When it is brought to the table, it will be a big hot bowl full. But the salty aroma is overflowing, which makes people want to eat.
The small noodle restaurant also became lively with the bowls of steaming noodles. Many people sat in one after another. Some ordered a bowl of noodles and ate first, while others just watched the bowl of noodle soup. I don't know what to wait for.
At this time, a young man came out from the back hall, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was holding a round red lantern in his hand. He trotted across the front hall, hung the lantern outside on his toes, and He turned his head sideways to observe for a long time, and after making sure that the hanging was not crooked, he stepped back into the room.
No one knew where the boy came from, and Xu Erniang hesitated to explain. But fortunately, the young man is smart, handsome and well-behaved, so he is very popular. The most important thing is that he can cook good dishes and has attracted a lot of business for this "a bowl of noodle restaurant". Headache and brain fever.
Everyone didn't know who the boy was, so they followed Xu Erniang and called him "brother Xiaonian".
"Brother Xiaonian, what delicious food did you cook today?" Someone among the diners raised his voice and stopped him, "Why don't you bring it out and let us have a look?"
Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head, confusedly recognized the person speaking from a group of diners, and then replied with a smile: "Uncle Zhang? It's a bit stuffy today, and Sui Sui wants to eat sweets, so I'm going to Make her a comb and try it."
Someone asked curiously: "What is this comb seal?"
The boy blinked, pretending to be mysterious and said: "You will know when you make it!"
After saying that, he bowed and slipped under the curtain of the front and back halls.
The young man was no longer in the hall, and the diner surnamed Zhang seemed even more looking forward to it, and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay! You can hurry up, brother Nian! My stomach is so empty that I can go on a boat." !"
It caused a lot of diners to laugh.
The front hall was bustling with activity. Yu Jinnian had already washed his hands and stepped into the kitchen. He looked up and saw a figure in the room kneading his face sullenly. He opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Oh, Er Niang, why are you up?"
This figure is the lady proprietress of this "One Bowl Noodle Shop"—Xu Erniang. At first glance, she is indeed a beautiful woman who still has charm, but from the thin and pale face, it can be seen that she is seriously sick.
Erniang smiled and said: "After lying down for so long, I can't keep bothering you about the inside and outside. It's better to get up and move around to feel better."
"What's the matter." Yu Jinnian rolled up his sleeves, poured out the mung bean powder that had been ground from the urn beside him, and said with squinted eyes, "If Erniang didn't take him in back then, where would I still be as a young boy? Isn't it right to help Erniang with some work? By the way, Erniang, I made some jujube soup, which can nourish Qi and blood best, use it in your spare time."
Xu Erniang pursed her lips in response, her heart warmed slightly.
Speaking of which, she didn't know much about this young man, except that his surname was Yu and his name was Jinnian. He passed out in front of his noodle shop for unknown reasons a few months ago. Erniang Xu only found out when she got up early to open the shop and hurriedly dragged him in.
After waking up, the young man thought that he was lonely and helpless, and wanted to stay and work as a handyman, but Xu Erniang agreed in a moment of soft-heartedness. She only saw that the young man was thin and fair, and he didn't look like he could bear hardships. Maybe it was a young master who ran away in a fit of anger. Maybe his family would come looking for him soon, so he just treated him as a family with more mouths. But she didn't expect that although the young man was young, he was good at cooking. He was full of weird snack recipes, and he brought out a plate of dishes that she had never seen before every three days.
At first, I just cooked it with her and Sui Sui, and it tasted really good. Later, I asked the boy to set up another stall at the entrance of the noodle shop, and sold some snacks in the morning and evening, which was considered a good income. The originally deserted noodle shop gradually warmed up, and some people even came to taste the young man's snacks.
What's more, the young man is gentle and friendly, his eyes are unexpectedly bright, he is already handsome, and when he smiles, he looks like a crescent moon, very cute. Xu Erniang had a son who died young in her early years. If she was still alive, she would be about the same age as Yu Jinnian. This even brought out her deep motherhood. During the past few months of getting along, she has already treated Jinnian as half a son. up.
Thinking of her son who died young and her own illness, Xu Erniang couldn't help but turn her back and wiped her tears secretly. After a while, she came back to her senses and saw Yu Jinnian putting a handful of dried leaves in a washed garlic mortar After smashing it into pieces, he suppressed the sadness again and asked, "What kind of food is this again?"
Yu Jinnian pounded patiently: "This is dried mint leaves, crushed and made into noodles, and made a comb mark for Sui Sui." After he finished speaking, he pushed Xu Erniang out of the kitchen, "Er Niang, go back and have a rest. , it will be ready later, let Sui Sui bring you a copy."
"Okay, okay..." Er Niang walked out of the kitchen with a smile, "I won't bother you anymore, don't be too tired. If those greedy people outside are bothering you, just rush out!"
"Got it!" Yu Jinnian waved his hand.
After sending Xu Erniang away, Yu Jinnian heaved a sigh of relief, and went back to the kitchen, sifted the crushed mint leaves through a fine sieve, and used the fallen fines. It is also known as half and half of flour and half of soybean powder, together with mint powder, add water and make dough.
Seeing the loose flour condensed into a fluffy dough little by little, his tense mood began to loosen, and he froze in a daze.
He has been here for more than several months... A few months ago, when he opened his eyes dripping wet, he was on a mass grave, surrounded by dead bones and flesh, rotten leaves and roots, and There was a red-eyed crow hovering over his head, waiting to come down and peck his eyes at any moment.
He is not the kind of person who is so delicate that he can't bear the blow. Apart from being surprised at the beginning when he woke up, he didn't have many other thoughts. He just calmed down quickly and thought carefully. Because of the aches and pains in his upper and lower limbs and weakness in his hands and feet, he had no choice but to sleep in the mass grave for another night to recuperate, but he was lucky enough to dream of some memories of the original body, and gradually figured out his current situation.
Coincidentally, this body is also called Yu Jinnian. He was originally the young master of a family surnamed Yu in the nearby Sifang Village, but his parents left early, and he was pampered like a little girl, tender and fat. He was only four years old when he was entrusted to the care of Yuantang's uncle and aunt's family in the same village. At that time, the little baby couldn't tell whether someone was good, evil, smelly or smelly, so he was bullied by the indifferent uncle and aunt's family for no reason. He went there, not to mention his own land and house being taken over, and he was also treated harshly everywhere, but he has grown up despite his hard work.
Before Yu Jinnian transmigrated, it was his pair of cheap uncles who owed debts and wanted to sell him to the bully creditor as a pet. escaped. It's a pity that my feet are weak, and I was discovered after running not too far. I slipped in a hurry and fell into the river beside the village. When I fished it out again, it was cold and lifeless.
The uncle and aunt hated him for revealing things, ruined their feng shui, and didn't even have a funeral, so they wrapped him in a straw mat and threw him into a mass grave.
—
In fact, Yu Jinnian, who had just put on this body, couldn't figure it out either. He knew that he must have died too, but who would have thought that when he woke up, he would get a healthy body for nothing and live a new life
However, he still had a lot of unfinished business in his heart. At that time, even if there was a little hope, he still wanted to live a good life, so he didn't want to lie in this barren mountain waiting to die, and he didn't want to go back to that inhuman "" Yu's house".
After a night at the mass grave, Yu Jinnian got up enduring the pain all over his body and walked aimlessly along the mountain road. When he was hungry, he ate wild vegetables and weeds on the side of the road, and when he was thirsty, he drank water along the river. , I just felt like I entered the city, and there were some lights on the flowers in front of my eyes.
Later, he was really sleepy and hungry, so he fell headlong in front of Xu Erniang's shop.
But no matter what, the materialistic Yu Jinnian encountered the most idealistic event in his 28 years of life. This happened when he woke up again from his heavy lethargy and heard Sui Sui lying on his bed looking at him. Only when Shi Potian yelled "Mother—" in shock, did he really feel——
He was indeed resurrected from the dead, and he was resurrected in a Great Xia Dynasty that he had never heard of, and he was resurrected in 28 years.
