The burden behind Song Que is getting bigger and bigger, and he has tasted more and more dishes. He gradually has the idea of opening a restaurant of his own, but where to open it and what kind of people to open it to are also questions.
Song Que walked from the bustling streets to the lonely mountains and forests, but never found a place that made him want to stay and open a restaurant. Instead, he smelled the fragrance by the Yunshui River and followed the fragrance to see a small restaurant.
The owners of this restaurant are a couple, both of whom look to be around thirty years old. They are busy in front of the stove and occasionally smile at each other.
Song was thinking of eating something.
Although this restaurant is small, there are many customers. After finally finding a seat, Song immediately stepped forward and sat down.
When the little woman saw it, she put down the ingredients she was handling, walked up to Song Que, and pointed to the board next to her with a smile, on which several ways to eat it were written. This shop makes rice noodles, and the price is calculated based on the addition of ingredients, but Song took advantage of his big belly and chose the one with the most.
The little woman nodded at him, walked to her husband again, made a few gestures with her hands, and the husband understood, and turned his head and smiled at Song Que.
Song Ke stared at the two of them for a while, and the diner next to him who was enjoying his meal took the initiative to explain: "Brother, are you new here?"
Song turned to the diner, smiled and nodded.
The diner explained: "Boss Zheng can't hear, and his wife can't speak, but the rice noodles are really delicious. There is no restaurant with such authentic taste within ten miles."
Seeing them talking about the boss's family, the diners on the other side also raised their heads and said: "It's been more than ten years. When I first came here to eat, Boss Zheng was only a teenager. Everyone called him Little Boss. At that time Lao Zheng just passed away, and the young boss took over the stall. The young boss was unable to hear since he was born, and naturally he couldn't learn to speak. Everyone was worried about how he would live, but they didn't expect to find a daughter-in-law who could hear but couldn't speak. . At that time, there were some mean people who said that they, a deaf man and a mute woman, were a match made in heaven. It would be better to have a deaf and mute child so as not to harm others. But after more than ten years, the relationship between people has changed. It's going very well, the business is booming again, the baby is born with bright ears and eyesight, no disability at all, and life is full of life. On the contrary, the one who said the mean words has too many barriers, and all the consequences will be on the children and grandchildren. This is fate."
Song Ke didn't follow these diners' gossip, but he saw that the young couple was indeed living happily. This happiness is not a gift from God to them. In fact, they have all suffered a lot, but their natural ability to be satisfied makes them particularly happy.
Song began to look forward to the taste of this bowl of rice noodles.
A half-year-old boy came in with a basket of fish and said to the little woman: "Mom, I caught the fish and they are still alive and kicking. Please kill them now and I will catch some more."
He put the fish basket aside and gestured to his father. After getting their permission, he ran to the fishing place.
Song Que took a closer look at the boy. He was young, with a strong body, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was indeed a smart and healthy child. For just a moment, Song Que subconsciously looked at the fish in the basket. The child was not lying. The fish were still twitching their tails. How fresh and plump would it be if it were slaughtered on the spot and eaten on the spot? These Hexian delicacies are known as "Xianxian". This store occupies a favorable location. If there is any uniqueness in the craftsmanship, it is not surprising that it has been able to last for more than ten years.
Boss Zheng’s rice noodles are all handmade, and a pot of soup stock seems to have been added and subtracted for decades. As soon as the lid is lifted, the smell rushes into the diners’ noses. Those diners who are used to it can still endure it and just take a deep breath. Song Queke was aroused by the taste and wanted to drink a bowl of soup stock made from chicken bones, pork bones and shrimp heads.
Boss Zheng put the rice noodles into the pot, and the lady boss over there also started to kill the fresh fish. She cut the head of the fish into two halves and started to fillet the fish as soon as the internal organs were processed. The snow-white fish meat was sliced so thin that it would melt as soon as it was cooked.
The rice noodles over there have been cooked. After taking them out and putting them in a bowl, Boss Zheng scooped a large spoonful of soup stock into the bowl to cover the rice noodles firmly. Then he drizzled oil from the side and poured a small spoonful on top of the soup. The heat of the entire noodle soup is trapped in the scalding hot soup, making this bowl of rice noodles less steamy.
Boss Zheng brought the bowl of packed rice noodles to Song Que, made a few gestures, and then showed an honest smile. But Song saw that Boss Zheng meant to be careful about the burn, so he smiled at the boss and nodded. Although the bowl of rice noodles in front of him was not hot at all, Song, who had been paying attention to the boss, naturally knew how hot the broth was under the thin layer of oil.
The landlady then brought a small tray with several small dishes on it, containing slices of chicken, pork, fish, some dry goods such as fungus, and finally a few pieces of lettuce and a chicken.
Preparing these ingredients is not easy. Although each portion is not large, the price of this bowl is not cheap.
The diner next to him enthusiastically pointed out: "This soup is very hot. You must not drink it directly. Spread the oil and pour the meat and eggs directly. It will be cooked for you immediately. You can't drink it now." Eat it and keep it so tender that you will be speechless.”
Song followed the diner's suggestion and used a spoon to spread the chicken fat on the soup. As expected, the heat in the soup came out. Song cracked the eggs into the soup and immediately boiled a soft-boiled egg. Seeing that it was fully cooked when it was boiled again, Song picked up the eggs and laid them on the surface. He added some chicken, pork and fish fillets into the soup, and then added the vegetarian vegetables into the pot. These dishes are cooked by being scalded, and the temperature of the soup has dropped, and it is no longer as overpowering as it was at the beginning.
Song Que scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it again and again, and then carefully sipped it with his lips and tongue. It felt slightly hot, but it was edible, so he put it directly into his mouth. This soup is fresh and delicious. Boss Zheng is really willing to spare the ingredients when making the broth. In addition, the soup has been passed down for so long and the essence is boiled out. This sip of soup alone is worth the money of the meal. Song Que took another bite of the fish fillet that he had longed for. The fish fillet was cut very thin. If he put it directly into the water to cook, he would probably overcook it and melt. But now it is just cooked in the soup. Although the fish fillet is thin, it is far from melting. On the contrary, because of its thinness, it absorbs all the flavor in the soup. When you take a bite of the fish fillet, the fish itself is tender and plump, and the soup The juice explodes in your lips and tongue, and it feels different from drinking the soup directly. It is really delicious.
Try the pork and chicken slices again, they are not as fresh as the fish slices. However, these two dishes are not as fresh as fish. The lack of taste is not obvious. On the contrary, the different textures and flavors add a sense of layering and richness to both the soup and rice noodles.
Song Que picked up the round rice noodles. The rice noodles were a bit thick and not as thin as its name. Song Que watched the boss make this rice noodle with his own eyes. It is not very chewy, but has a glutinous and powdery texture, making it very easy to digest. The rice noodles have also soaked up the soup, and the texture and taste are different from the fish fillets that have soaked up the soup. The rice noodles are vegetarian, and the soup stock is meat. The combination of meat and vegetables is interesting, and the rice noodles are thicker and absorb more soup. Song Que picked up a large handful of rice noodles with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it, he swallowed it. Not only did his lips and tongue get a perfect experience, but his empty stomach was also briefly soothed. Although it is difficult for Song to achieve a true feeling of fullness, just like amputee patients sometimes experience phantom limb pain, he occasionally has corresponding illusions.
In the second half of the meal, the rice noodles were eaten along with the meat slices, and Song was eating all the vegetarian dishes to relieve his tiredness. In the end, he didn't even miss the soup. He picked up the bowl and drank it all, leaving a bare white bowl.

Most of the diners next to him felt the same way, but no one laughed at Song Que's shabby cooking.
Song Que felt really comfortable eating this meal. The couple are both big-hearted people. This restaurant has been open for more than ten years, and it is not without trouble. But most of the time, they are happily cooking rice noodles. Song Que felt something so peaceful and bright from this bowl of rice noodles.
Song Que took out the money and put it on the table, and was about to pay and leave when a group of guys suddenly came to the restaurant. Those people knew they were evil at first sight. When they entered the restaurant, they did not restrain their steps. Instead, they knocked the tables and chairs crookedly, looking like they were looking for trouble in an upright manner.
Everyone dining in the restaurant obviously knows these rogues and knows why they are here. Although they sympathize with Boss Zheng, who dares to get involved in these things? They all run very fast, fearing If you are slower, you will be implicated. Only Song was still standing there. After watching for a while, he sat down again, as if he didn't intend to leave.
Boss Zheng and his wife looked at the group of people, as if they dared to be angry but dare not speak. The boss stood in front of the boss's wife, and looked at the leader and told Song Que that this was not the first time that this happened, and it was not the first time for these people to come.
The leader was a young man with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes, well-dressed, but Song stared at his face and knew that this was a man who was rich in his early years, poor in his middle age, and miserable in his later years. Looking deeper, he deserved his fate, wealth and honor. It doesn't matter if you don't do good deeds at the time, but instead create all kinds of bad karma, and your later life will be miserable. Even if you are afraid of being reincarnated, you won't be able to continue living as a human being.
After Song Que watched for a while, he figured out the whole story. It was just a matter of being jealous of each other and trying to steal the formula.
There are many solutions, but it is not easy to maintain the peaceful life of Boss Zheng and his wife without being disturbed.
Song Que thought about it and finally came up with a solution. As he was sitting there considering the feasibility, the group of people came to trouble him, so they thought he was in the way of sitting here.
Song was too lazy to take action. Since he knew that this group of people would soon suffer retribution, he stopped adding another foot to avoid getting his shoes dirty. When these gangsters pounced on him, Song Que's figure suddenly disappeared and then appeared in another place, which frightened people greatly. Some people did not believe in the evil and pounced two or three times, but Song Quhui disappeared and then appeared in another place. No matter how courageous the person is, he will be scared to death by Song Que, so how can he still have the interest to bully good people here.
After finally scaring everyone away, Song looked back and saw that Boss Zheng and the wife of the boss were also frightened to the point of collapse. However, these two people didn't do anything wrong. They were afraid of returning, so they didn't run away. Song Que said to the two of them: "You can't open this shop by the Yunshui River. If you are willing, I will send you to the capital. You let Xiao Huzi study hard. His future lies there."
Xiao Huzi was the son of the two of them. He had just returned from the river. He squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, ran to his parents, and said angrily: "Are those people here again?"
After seeing the boss lady's gesture, Boss Zheng glanced at Xiao Huzi and suddenly kowtowed to Song Que.
