Xie Yunjiao and Jing Kai went out, but Jing Kai did not take a carriage. Instead, he took her for a walk on the street.
At first, Xie Yunjiao had no idea what was going on and thought he was just wandering around.
Suddenly, she saw an old man setting up a stall and was stunned for a moment.
"That old man looks familiar." Xie Yunjiao said, "Is he the noodle stall we ate at when we were kids?"
Jing Kai smiled and replied, "It seems so."
A hint of doubt flashed across Xie Yunjiao's eyes, which was strange.
She remembered that the last time she saw the old man, he told her that he was too old to work and wanted to go home to enjoy his retirement.
So she secretly gave the old man some money to show her gratitude.
I haven't seen him for a few years now, and it seems that the old man has a lot more white hair on his head, but he looks as energetic as ever.
No, it seems that she looks much more radiant than before.
"Old man." Xie Yunjiao walked over and greeted the old man.
The old man at the noodle stall was surprised to see Xie Yunjiao: "Little girl, I see you again."
"Mmm, smells good," Xie Yunjiao said after taking a deep breath, "Same as always."
As she said that, she sat down, and Jing Kai followed suit.
The old man looked at Jing Kai again and asked, "How about you? Still the same?"
Jing Kai replied, "Yes."
The old man brought over a small bowl of seafood noodles, with a milky white broth made from a variety of seafood and bones. The noodles were long, thin, hand-pulled noodles, very chewy and springy.
The noodles are topped with freshly cooked shrimp, various shellfish, and Vietnamese-style cilantro.
The old man really understood their tastes. Xie Yunjiao's bowl was full of coriander, but there was not a trace of coriander in Jing Kai's bowl.
"You are still the same, your taste is too strong." Jing Kai said with disgust.
"You are the same, you don't know how to appreciate." Didn't Xie Yunjiao also dislike Jing Kai? He actually thought such a fragrant thing was smelly.
"So many years have passed, and your taste remains the same." said the noodle stall owner happily.
"Yes, it hasn't changed at all." Xie Yunjiao picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste it when she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she secretly picked up some coriander and put it in Jing Kai's bowl.
Jing Kai was talking to the old man running the noodle stall and didn't notice her actions.
Jing Kai said, "It's the same for you. After all these years, the noodles are still so fragrant."
When the old man at the noodle stall saw Xie Yunjiao's actions, a smile flashed in his eyes and he shook his head helplessly.
I didn't expect that after several years, they are still like this. I guess they will fight again.
He hurried to prepare another bowl of noodles, in case Jing Kai didn't want to eat that bowl later and it all ended up in Xie Yunjiao's stomach.
Jing Kai noticed the changes in the old man at the noodle stall. He looked at his bowl and was stunned when he saw the coriander in it.
Xie Yunjiao suddenly laughed and reached out to grab Jing Kai's bowl: "Give it to me, you don't want to eat anyway."
Unexpectedly, Jing Kai's hand suddenly rested on hers, blocking her and saying, "Who said I don't want to eat? I'm hungry. I can eat ten cows."
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Jing Kai without blinking.
Okay, what you said, let’s eat it.
Xie Yunjiao thought Jing Kai was just joking and would definitely not eat it.
But she was obviously wrong. Not only did Jing Kai pick up his chopsticks, but the first thing he took a bite of was coriander.
"You...you..." Xie Yunjiao stuttered and couldn't finish a sentence.
Jing Kai finished a whole mouthful of noodles and his expression remained normal.
Xie Yunjiao swallowed her saliva and looked at Jing Kai in disbelief. She even reached out and pulled Jing Kai's face and said, "You are fake, right?"
The side of Jing Kai's face that was hit by Gu Huai happened to be pinched. It was already painful, and Xie Yunjiao hit him hard, showing no mercy at all. Jing Kai quickly surrendered and said, "It hurts."
Xie Yunjiao finally let go of her hand and looked at Jing Kai: "Are you serious?"
Jing Kai looked at Xie Yunjiao and said, "People always change. Haven't you changed a lot too?"
Xie Yunjiao smiled bitterly. How could she be the same? She had a new core.
"Okay, I'm not going to joke with you anymore. You're making me feel like my face is going to swell up."
Xie Yunjiao gobbled the noodles voraciously. The noodles were springy and chewy. She took a bite and the tip of her tongue was filled with the salty and fresh taste of the seafood soup. The springy texture mixed with the salty and fresh taste of the seafood soup made her feel like a fish, swimming freely in the surging waves.
"So delicious!" Xie Yunjiao originally thought that these noodles should be delicious just because of the original owner's memory.
But when she actually took a bite of the noodles, she was impressed by the delicious feeling.
She didn't expect that she could taste such delicious food in this small noodle stall.
Jing Kai looked at Xie Yunjiao, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Here it comes, this strange feeling comes again.
The person in front of him was clearly her, but he had a strange feeling.
They have been eating from this noodle stall since they were young, and have eaten there so many times, so why does it look like it's the first time for her to eat it?
"Uncle, did you add fried small yellow croaker to the soup? Boil it with boiling water for at least two hours. Then add the shrimp heads and red onions that have been fried to make red oil, and scallions, too." Xie Yunjiao said.
The old man at the noodle stall was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xie Yunjiao in surprise. He had never expected that after not seeing her for a few years, this girl had become a culinary genius? She could actually guess the ingredients for his noodle soup right away.
"They are just worthless things." said the old man.
His hometown is on the seaside, and the entire Baiyue Kingdom is on the coast. There are so many of these things that they cannot be eaten up, so they are naturally worthless.
Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "I was just guessing, but I didn't expect that I would actually guess right."
Xie Yunjiao lowered her eyes to avoid Jing Kai's gaze. She finished eating all the noodles before she said to the old man, "Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown? You'll never come back again."
The old man laughed dryly and looked in Jing Kai's direction involuntarily.
Xie Yunjiao raised her eyebrows in understanding. Okay, she knew what was going on.
It seems that he had made preparations in advance, otherwise how could he invite the old man to cook noodles for them?
"I want another bowl." Xie Yunjiao said.
Although she could tell how this noodle was prepared, every chef would have slight differences in their cooking techniques.
Even if she really followed this method, she might not be able to produce exactly the same taste.
This is also the reason why she insisted on calling Xiao Ding and the others for so long in Yuemanlou.
The old man set up the stall because of Jing Kai. If he wants to eat it again in the future, he may not be able to do so.
After eating another bowl of noodles and paying the bill, he said goodbye to the old man and continued walking with Jing Kai.
"Where do you want to take me now?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"With your intelligence, how could you not guess it?" Jing Kai said with a smile.
Xie Yunjiao looked around. Is this the place?
