Ever since that day, when Feng Liang and his wife had a fight that led to the noodle shop closing down, the noodle shop has remained closed ever since.
To be honest, Lin Chuan thought that Feng Liang was not planning to open the noodle shop anymore.
Unexpectedly, Feng Liang came looking for him again.
Lin Chuan knew that Feng Liang was an open-minded person, and working with him was fine, but in the long run, he would definitely want to do it himself.
Lin Ping didn't recognize Feng Liang, nor did he know what was going on.
He jumped out of the car and started carrying things out. After that, he had to go to the rented storefront to move tables and chairs.
"Brother Liang, I'm really sorry, I just rented a storefront a couple of days ago and I'm currently set up. It will be open for business in a few days." Lin Chuan spoke frankly, and there was no need for him to beat around the bush with Feng Liang.
Feng Liang was very surprised, "Da Chuan, you've already rented a new storefront so quickly?"
Lin Chuan pointed in the direction, "It's not far from here. I'll take you to see it later."
Upon hearing this, Feng Liang was genuinely disappointed.
He sighed, "Well, to be honest, I just got a divorce from Yan Hongxia this morning, and I came to see you this afternoon. These past few days have been so noisy and chaotic, it's really giving me a headache."
Lin Chuan was not surprised at all by Feng Liang and Yan Hongxia's divorce.
A woman like Yan Hongxia, no matter how much money she has, she'll squander it all.
What's even more terrifying is that Yan Hongxia herself didn't realize that she was doing anything wrong. She was completely unaware that she was living her life with Feng Liang and their child.
Feng Liang doesn't look well; he looks thinner than before and has large dark circles under his eyes.
"Brother Liang, what about your two kids?" Lin Chuan asked.
Feng Liang said, "The child is mine. That woman said she wouldn't give the shop to me because she couldn't support the child. That shop was left to me by my parents. I have to raise two children, make a living, and send them to school. How could I possibly give it to her?"
"Don't laugh at me, but I don't trust her to take care of either of my children. If it turns out to be her family, they could sell my kids and she'd still be helping them count the money."
Lin Chuan patted Feng Liang on the shoulder, "Brother Liang, you've really had a tough time."
Feng Liang curled the corners of his mouth, "However, since you've already rented the shop yourself, I won't bother you. Let me know when you open, and I'll come and support you."
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, "Brother Liang, I have a way to keep your noodle shop open."
Upon hearing this, Feng Liang became interested.
What method?
Lin Chuan ran a chain of noodle shops in his past life. Although packaging is not so easy now, Feng Liang's shop and his shop are both in the same county, so it's easy.
“You can make the noodles yourself, and I can sell you a spice packet for braised meat, a spice packet for chicken broth, and a spice packet for noodle soup. Just add water according to the proportions I tell you, and you can braise the meat, cook the chicken broth, and sell the noodles yourself.”
Feng Liang listened excitedly, "Yes, that really works, and yours tastes much better than Yan Hongxia's."
He paced back and forth as he spoke, seemingly deep in thought.
"Da Chuan, let's do it your way. I'll come here every night to pick up a packet of seasonings. As for the price, it'll be the same as before, we'll split the profits 50/50."
Lin Chuan shook his head. "That won't work."
He was the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. "Brother Liang, the shop is yours, you're the one doing the work, and all the costs are yours. I can't take half of your profits; that's not fair."
“Why not? Without your seasoning packet, I can’t make a good soup and meat.” Feng Liang thought it was no problem at all. “Look, after I deducted the cost, we can split it 50/50, so I’m the one who makes a profit.”
Feng Liang was in a really good mood. "Da Chuan, ever since I met you, you've been my benefactor. My business will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future."
Before Lin Chuan could say anything more to Feng Liang, a customer came in to buy braised meat.
He quickly went to greet the guests.
By the time Lin Chuan finished greeting the guests, Feng Liang had already walked away.
In half a month, Lin Chuan completed all the formalities and tidied up the shop.
Lin Chuan handed over the wages to Zhang Xianglong and Sun Xiangdong.
The two of them happily took the money.
Sun Xiangdong laughed and said, "Brother Long, see? It's always more worthwhile to work for your brothers. This wage is pretty good."
Zhang Xianglong nodded, "Dachuan is really promising. He's opening a shop already. From now on, we brothers will follow you."
Lin Chuan put his arms around the shoulders of the two men, saying, "No problem, no problem. When there's a job that makes a lot of money, we'll definitely do it together."
October 26th, which is the 18th day of the ninth lunar month.
This was an auspicious day for Lin Chuan.
In Wangshan County, his first noodle shop—Chunmai Noodle Shop—is finally ready to open.
These days, when he's setting up his stall, he mentions to every customer that his shop is about to open.
He also put up a sign in front of his noodle stall, indicating the opening time and the location of the shop.
Although it was already cold outside, the Chunmai Noodle Shop was filled with steaming heat.
Lin Chuan said that for the first three days after opening, noodles and braised meat will all be 10% off, and they also launched a promotion: buy ten bowls of noodles and get one bowl free, or buy ten pounds of braised meat and get one pound free.
Activities can be accumulated.
For three consecutive days, Chunmai Noodle Shop was packed with people.
At home, apart from Sun Qiaoling and Liang Yun taking care of the children, Lin Qingyou and the others all came to help out at the noodle shop.
Xu Chunmai was originally supposed to be breastfeeding Xiao Le'an and hadn't come prepared.
However, Lin Chuan wanted Xu Chunmai to see what the first noodle shop would look like when it opened, so he said that she could bring Xiao Le'an along and there would be a separate little room in the back, which wouldn't affect anything.
So Xu Chunmai followed them to the noodle shop.
Seeing how well the noodle shop was doing, Xu Chunmai was genuinely happy.
After she finished feeding the baby, she went to help in the front.
On the evening of the third day, Jiang Xueying and Cao Meina arrived at the noodle shop.
The two of them had heard that a new noodle shop had opened, and that the braised meat was delicious, and today was the last day of the discount.
So, the two of them made an excuse to leave the factory early and came to Chunmai Noodle Shop.
Xiao Le'an fell asleep in the back and couldn't roll over or anything, so Xu Chunmai ran to the front to help.
Upon seeing people come in, they quickly came to greet them and even found empty seats for Jiang Xueying and Cao Meina.
Xu Chunmai didn't know the two of them, and Jiang Xueying and the others naturally didn't know Xu Chunmai either.
Xu Chunmai was gentle and enthusiastic, "What would you two like to eat?"
Jiang Xueying glanced at the sign hanging on the wall and said, "Two bowls of pork chop noodles, please."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Before long, two bowls of pork chop noodles were served, steaming hot, with the aroma of meat and noodles mingling together.
As soon as Jiang Xueying entered the room, she felt the smell was familiar, and now that the noodles were served, the smell was even more familiar.
It feels just like the one Lin Chuan made at Daliang Noodle Shop that time.
