Chapter 218: Go to the Newspaper Together
Yu Hui looked down at her clothes, smiled and said, "There's no need to dress up, I still have work to do."
Qian Lan: "That's absolutely necessary. After all, we need to take pictures and publish them in the newspaper."
"It's still early, so go back and change your clothes. Wear your red shirt with white polka dots, black trousers, and tie a red scarf on your head." Qian Lan also helped her put the clothes together.
Qian Lan thought she looked best in this dress and was particularly elegant.
Yu Hui looked at Qian Lan and said, "Then don't you have to go back and change your clothes and dress up properly?"
Qian Lan: "Why should I dress up?"
Yu Hui laughed and said, "We opened this noodle shop together. If people want to report on our noodle shop, we have to be interviewed together, take photos together, and appear in the newspaper together!"
Qian Lan was stunned. It took a long time for her to speak. "But, but the girl said she wanted to interview you."
But I never said I wanted to interview her.
Yu Hui said, "That's because she doesn't know. We opened the noodle shop together. Now that we know the details, we must be interviewed together."
"After all, they're mainly reporting on our noodle shop and promoting our policies, not on me personally."
Qian Lan looked at her blue shirt awkwardly. "Then, then I really need to go back and change clothes?"
Clothes get dirty easily when working, so she wore her oldest clothes, which were now covered in flour.
If it were published in the newspaper like this, it would indeed look a bit sloppy.
Yu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to change it. After all, this is the truest version of us when we opened the shop and started doing business. Reporters, I'm sure you want to report on our true side, too."
Qian Lan: "...then don't change it?"
Yu Hui shook her head. "No, let's stick with it the same way as before."
"Okay." Qian Lan nodded and continued to knead the dough.
Li Wenya arrived at nine o'clock, bringing with her the newspaper's photographer Shen Hang.
The two men rode their bicycles, but before they reached the door of the noodle shop, they stopped and pushed the bicycles forward.
Wen Zhaodi was swatting a fly when she saw two unfamiliar faces riding bicycles and hurriedly greeted them.
"Comrades, please have some steamed buns. My steamed buns with soy sauce and pork are thin and have large fillings. They are five cents each, ten cents for two. Buy two and get one free."
Chen Hang got up late in the morning and was pulled over by Li Wenya as soon as he arrived at the newspaper office. He hadn't had breakfast yet.
When he heard that if he bought two buns, he would get one free, he said to Li Wenya, "This bun is really a good deal. I'll go buy some."
As he said this, he let go of the handlebars of the bicycle and was about to go.
"Don't buy it." Li Wenya grabbed Chen Hang's hand, glanced at Wen Zhaodi, who was looking at them with a smile, and said to Chen Hang in a low voice: "Her family's business is not honest. They use spoiled meat fillings and dough to make dumplings. Someone even got sick from eating them yesterday."
When Shen Hang heard this, he immediately retracted his foot.
"Forget it, I won't buy it." No wonder they had a buy-two-get-one-free deal, it turned out the buns were not fresh.
Wen Zhaodi saw that the man wanted to buy her buns, but she refused. After saying something to the man, he didn't want to buy it either, and his face drooped.
"Hey, comrade, your boyfriend wants to buy some steamed buns, why aren't you letting him? We women can't be so overbearing. We have to be gentle and follow men's lead, but we can't be the boss of men."
Li Wenya frowned, "He's not my type."
Wen Zhaodi laughed, "If she's not your partner, then you have no right to control her. Why shouldn't you let her buy buns?"
Li Wenya rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "Your business is dishonest. You use spoiled meat filling and bread to make buns. Eating them will give you a stomachache."
Wen Zhaodi couldn't laugh anymore.
Seeing that they looked unfamiliar, I thought it was their first time here, but I didn’t expect that these female comrades knew everything.
Li Wenya ignored Wen Zhaodi and took Shen Xing to push the cart to the door of the noodle shop and parked the car beside it.
Wen Zhaodi stood at the door of the store, watching the two people enter the noodle shop, frowned and thought: The noodle shop is not open yet, what are these two people doing there at this time?
"Boss Yu, I'm here." Li Wenya greeted with a smile as she entered the room.
"This is my colleague Chen Hang, who is in charge of photography." Li Wenya introduced him to Yu Hui.
"Hello, Comrade Shen." Yu Hui was blanching pig intestines, her hands covered in oil. "My hands are so greasy, I won't shake your hand."
"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Hang smiled and waved his hand. He didn't expect that Boss Yu, who was known for his amazing cooking skills, was actually so young and looked younger than them.
"You guys sit down first, I'll wash my hands and pour you some water." Yu Hui said as she was about to wash her hands.
Gu Nan, who was sorting the green onions, stood up and said, "Mom, I'll pour some water for my brother and sister."
Shen Hang showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect Yu Hui to look so young, yet her child was already this big.
How could Shen Hang and Li Wenya have the nerve to let such a young child pour water for them? They quickly waved their hands and said, "No need to pour water, we are not thirsty."
"We're not thirsty. If you don't mind, we'll take a few photos of your preliminary preparations and conduct some brief interviews." Li Wenya looked at Yu Hui and said.
Yu Hui nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Hang was responsible for taking photos and Li Wenya was responsible for interviewing.
Shen Hang first patted Qian Lan who was rolling noodles. When he patted her, Qian Lan froze.
The photos that came out weren't very good.
"Sister, just do your thing. Don't be nervous and don't stop deliberately."
"Oh, okay." Qian Lan swallowed hard and continued rolling the noodles with her head down.
All I could think about was: My picture was taken and I’m going to be in the newspaper.
It took two more shots before Shen Hang got a satisfactory photo.
Li Wenya picked up the small notebook and started interviewing Qian Lan.
“Are these noodles made fresh every day?”
Qian Lan: "I mix it every day. I use good flour that costs eight yuan a bag."
“How many noodles do you make every day?”
"One bag a day, fifty kilograms..."
After taking pictures of Qian Lan, Chen Hang took pictures of Yu Hui making braised pork intestines, and also took two close-ups of the pork intestines in the pot.
"Gu..."
Seeing the fragrant pig intestines, Shen Hang's stomach made a long growl.
Yu Hui turned her head to look at him, who blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly, saying, "I got up late this morning and didn't have breakfast."
"If you had told me earlier, I would have made you a bowl of noodles first."
As she spoke, Yu Hui asked Qian Lan to cut some noodles, took a bowl to mix the ingredients, and put a bowl of vegetarian noodles in the small pot at the back.
The noodles were ready, and Chen Hang started eating first. Li Wenya began to interview Yu Hui. Where did they get the pig intestines? Was it fresh every day? How many kilograms were made every day?
A bowl of vegetarian noodles made Shen Hang dazed. He couldn't stop eating one mouthful after another, and finally drank up all the noodle soup.
"Huh..." Chen Hang put down the bowl, closed his eyes and let out a satisfied sigh.
“This noodle is really delicious.”
Li Wenya was right, this is a gourmet restaurant.
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi were busy with their food and laughed at him, saying that he had eaten a bowl of vegetarian noodles like this.
The shredded pork noodles, beef noodles, and pork intestine noodles made by my mother are even more delicious.
Wouldn't he be so angry that he would cry?
