Chapter 26 Day 1

Ten minutes later, Auntie's pork intestine rice noodles were served.

She came up with the answer to this question herself.

tasty!

Very delicious!

Very delicious!

The white rice noodles are served in a thick copper pot. As soon as they are served on the table, the fresh and fragrant aroma hits your nose.

The special thing about Guoqiao Rice Noodles is the layer of oil floating on top of the soup, which locks in the heat inside. It may not look like there is any steam coming out of it, but in fact, there is a lot of steam inside.

Xia Tang’s small pot rice noodles are different from the classic cross-bridge rice noodles. All the ingredients are boiled in hot soup.

The fatty intestines and rice noodles are cooked in the soup in advance, but the taste is more concentrated. Paired with the fresh soup made from mushrooms and bones, one sip is so delicious that it will make your eyebrows drop!

The aunt picked up the spoon beside her, scooped up a mouthful of soup carefully, and put it into her mouth hesitantly. The next second, even her eyebrows couldn't help but fly up.

She picked up the chopsticks in one hand and the soup spoon in the other, and without caring about the hotness, she started to eat with big mouthfuls.

A mouthful of rice noodles, a sip of soup and a bite of fatty intestines, he ate them with such vigor and energy as if he were in the middle of a fierce battle.

By the time Xia Tang brought over two bowls of fried potatoes, the entire table was as quiet as fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind; even the soup at the bottom of the pot had been drunk up completely.

Seeing Xia Tang coming in with fried potatoes, the aunt touched her stomach, looked at the crispy and oily fried potatoes in the bowl, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva:

"My dear, I can't eat this potato anymore...what should I do?"

Xia Tang couldn't help but smile:

"How about I wrap it up in oil paper for you, and you can eat it at home, but it won't be that crispy."

The aunt was waiting for Xia Tang to say this and nodded repeatedly.

What a joke! This food is so delicious, she is not willing to just give up these two bowls of fried potatoes!

Xia Tang had prepared some oil paper in advance, so he folded it into a paper bag and neatly wrapped the fried potatoes for his aunt.

A bowl of vegetarian rice noodles costs 30 cents, and pork intestines cost 40 cents.

The aunt paid the money and asked reluctantly:

"What day will you open the store tomorrow?"

Xia Tang answered seriously and handed the oil-paper package containing potatoes to the aunt:

"We don't do breakfast. We open around 10:30."

The aunt took the oil paper bag and said:

"I'm going to bring my grandson over to eat tomorrow. Can you give me your fried potatoes as well?"

"It's free. It's free for the first seven days of opening."

Xia Tang said with a smile.

When I was seeing my aunt off, two young girls dressed as workers happened to be peeking in at the door.

When he saw people coming out, he retracted his head in embarrassment.

Before Xia Tang even opened her mouth to greet him, her aunt had already shouted out in a loud voice:

"Come and have dinner! Buy a pot of rice noodles and get a free portion of potatoes!"

He even came up to the two girls and said solemnly:

"I'm not lying, it smells really good!"

The two girls were startled.

After the old lady left, they looked at each other:

"Try it?"

Just give it a try.

They didn't expect that once they tried it, things would get out of control.

No one knows why Xia Tang’s small pot of rice noodles smells so good, but that doesn’t stop everyone from eating it from leaving with a full and satisfied stomach.

Not only that, after eating one meal, I want two, and after eating two meals, I want the next meal.

Although Xia Tang is a new restaurant, people still love to try new things.

In addition, her shop is clean and well-managed, and people who have eaten there have raved about it. When you buy a serving of rice noodles, you can get a free serving of potatoes.

The snack bar was packed with people throughout the whole day, which was considered a good start.

By the evening, the three rooms of the snack bar were filled with people eating, and there were several students waiting in the back street who wanted to buy fried potatoes.

Chen Minzhi brought Chen Minyun and originally planned to come over to take a look after work, but they were surprised to see that the business was so good as soon as they arrived.

"Hey, Xia Tang, why are there so many people?"

She looked at the bustling scene in the house, then looked at the deserted street outside, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

Xia Tang was busy taking out the cooked rice noodles. When she heard Chen Minzhi ask this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and pointed to the back door.

Chen Minzhi looked in that direction and finally understood the reason.

But her business couldn't be so prosperous with just one door. The real reason was...

Chen Minzhi's nose was filled with the sweet smell of soup. Although she had just eaten in the cafeteria, she felt her stomach rebelling again.

Before he could move, a small copper pot was stuffed into his hand.

She raised her head, and Xia Tang pointed to the innermost room:

"That table is still missing a serving of rice noodles, Sister Minzhi, please help!"

Help...then help.

Chen Minzhi asked Chen Minyun to sit on a small stool nearby, and she walked quickly into the house, speaking in a loud voice:

"Who ordered the chrysanthemum rice noodles?"

Business is better at night than during the day.

By the time all the guests had left, it was almost nine o'clock.

Chen Minzhi sat in her seat panting, watching Xia Tang still busy in the kitchen.

I couldn't help but secretly admire Xia Tang in my heart.

No wonder she has to go out to work even if she doesn’t have to work, she is really good at it!

Apart from anything else, just this guy who worked in an orderly manner won!

Not to mention the cooking skills, which are simply amazing!

Chen Minzhi admired in her heart, and when she turned around, she saw her sister Chen Minyun still sitting there upright.

However, she was not in a state of stupor. Xia Tang had stuffed a potato in her hand and she was peeling it with a knife.

Chen Minzhi felt soft in her heart again.

To be honest, Chen Minyun has been working in the factory for quite a while.

At first, she was afraid and even ran away from work twice.

When Chen Minzhi found her, she discovered that she was hiding alone in a corner of the factory.

The whole person is stunned.

During those days, the family was filled with gloom and sorrow.

Chen Minzhi's mother has always felt sorry for this old lady. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but start to blame Chen Minzhi.

Chen Minzhi felt upset and asked Chen Minyun whether she wanted to continue.

However, Chen Minyun clasped her hands tightly together and nodded vigorously and firmly.

Since she insisted, Chen Minzhi continued to accompany her.

Fortunately, a few days later, when Chen Minyun felt unwell, she was no longer alone and squatted in the corner.

This time, Chen Minzhi felt that she and Xia Tang were familiar with each other, so she brought her along.

When there were many people here just now, I was worried.

But now...

Chen Minyun held a small knife in her right hand and carefully peeled the large yellow potato in front of her, bit by bit. The spotted skin was rolled up bit by bit. Although it was slow, she kept moving.

His eyes were fixed intently on the potatoes in his hands, as if he was doing the most important thing in the world.

Chen Minzhi couldn't help but feel relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

She felt that Chen Minyun could always make some progress with Xia Tang.

Although it is small, or even just within the reach of a normal person, but as long as there is a little bit every time, it is enough.

Xia Tang was still busy in the kitchen.

It was getting late, and although Chen Minzhi and the others had already eaten, their stomachs were inevitably empty at this time.

She put the remaining ingredients into the pot and cooked them. She first cooked a big pot of "Da Tuan Yuan" rice noodles for Chen Minzhi, and then considering Chen Minyun's taste, she cooked the light chrysanthemum rice noodles for her.

After it was cooked, she brought the small pot of rice noodles into the house and motioned for the two to come over and eat.

Chen Minzhi looked at the rice noodles rising high in the pot and couldn't help but say:

"Xia Tang, if you don't know, you would think you are raising pigs."

Xia Tang smiled:

"Pigs can't eat this well."

"Eat, Sister Minzhi. You've worked hard enough today."

If Chen Minzhi hadn't come, she really wasn't sure if anything would go wrong today.

Chen Minzhi didn't bother to be polite with her. She took the knife and potato from Chen Minyun's hand and urged her to eat.

Facing a small pot of chrysanthemum rice noodles, Chen Minyun looked a little panicked. She glanced at Xia Tang, but sat down as Chen Minzhi instructed.

Xia Tang also picked up a pair of chopsticks and sat in front of his own pot:

"You haven't tried the rice noodles I made yet, so today is a good time to give it a try."

Chen Minzhi joked:

"What you said means that there are many things you can do that I haven't tried. Could it be that you can try everything?"

"It's not a bad idea."

Xia Tang said with a smile.

"Then I'll be welcome."

Chen Minzhi made an exaggerated move, picked up a piece of rice noodles and put it in her mouth, and then couldn't help but praise:

"It's delicious! No wonder there are so many people here!"

Xia Tang smiled with her lips pursed.

It was late at night outside.

In such late autumn, eating a pot of steaming hot rice noodles is an ultimate enjoyment.

Especially the chrysanthemum rice noodles in front of Chen Minyun, the thick and fragrant soup is added with the freshness and bitterness of chrysanthemum, which makes it even more flavorful.

Chen Minzhi ate while paying attention to her sister.

Seeing her hesitate for a long time with the chopsticks before picking up the first rice noodle and putting it in her mouth, my heart gradually relaxed.

I was so happy that I couldn't help but say to Xia Tang:

"If you are too busy in the future, we will come again!"

On this side, Xia Tang and her friends were eating enthusiastically, while on the other side of the tube building, Xia Lulu was sitting in the living room with a sullen face.

She faced her simple curtains and bed and said stiffly:

"I don't live in the living room."

In fact, we had argued about this before.

After just moving back, Xia Lulu kept making a fuss, saying how awkward it was for her to still live in the living room when she was grown up.

At that time, it was Liu Mei and Xia Dashan who yelled at her and scolded her before she finally gave in.

In the next few days, although Xia Lulu was unhappy, she lived with it and everything was peaceful.

But I don’t know what happened today, I went to the hospital and everything went wrong!

Liu Mei was very angry, but when she saw the gauze wrapped around Xia Lulu's head, she felt a little soft-hearted.

He frowned and said:

"If you don't live in the living room, who will?"

"Are you going to let your brother marry your sister-in-law and bring her home to live with the curtains drawn in the living room?"

In the past few days, Xia Dong and Li Meifeng's marriage has been at a stalemate.

The other party gave Xia Dashan a lot of cold shoulder because they moved back to the tube-shaped building from the yard.

But this does not mean that the marriage cannot be successful.

Xia Lulu said unhappily:

"After all these years, we still have to draw curtains in the living room. It's all because of your incompetence!"
