Since the launch of the new shredded chicken cold noodles, Yueting Buffet has more and more summer delicacies.
Fruit-flavored ice cream, fruit-flavored shaved ice, fruit-flavored glutinous rice balls, and even the fruit tea that Xiao Yue had always wanted to make but never did, also added the sweet and sour lemon flavor and the pure peach flavor.
Of course, in addition to the fruit section, more items have been added to the flavor area.
There are not as many varieties and colors as in the cold drinks area. Only cold noodles and vermicelli have been added recently, but the taste has won the hearts of a large number of people.
In particular, cold skin is very simple to make. The dough is kneaded and allowed to rise, the gluten is rubbed out, and the remaining starch water is spread in a thin layer on a plate and put into the steamer.
Yueting now has a lot of self-service steamers, and it will be able to steam out a lot of cold noodles in a short time. The transparent and smooth cold noodles will be cut, which is enough for the daily supply.
The way of eating is almost the same as shredded chicken cold noodles, except that the former contains meat, while the highlight of cold noodles is the chewy and mellow gluten, which alone can make many people unforgettable.
The vermicelli is similar, but Xiao Yue exchanged it directly from the mall and made it into vermicelli with sauce.
The method of this is even simpler. Just soak it, and then prepare classic side dishes and condiments such as shrimp, lemon, broccoli, etc., and then it can be sent to the flavor area like shredded chicken cold noodles for customers to mix and match.
The guests at Yueting Buffet have more and more choices, and Xiao Yue and others naturally have more choices for dinner.
Fang Sanhong likes cold noodles with shredded chicken, Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen love vermicelli with sauce, and Lu Ran and the sisters eat white rice with braised food and cold drinks.
As for Fu Xunzhou and his companions, they would help with the work every time they came, and naturally they could enjoy the food after finishing their work.
Xiao Yue remembered that he, like herself, also liked to eat cold noodles.
However, Fu Xunzhou seems to be busy again these days and has not come for three days.
Duan Lin would come here occasionally, after all, he had to investigate the thief on West Street personally.
Unfortunately, this thief is really good at hiding. Although we are not sure whether he is the same person who drugged me, it has been almost half a month since the drugging and there has been no news at all.
Xiao Yue sighed, not wanting to think too much, and quickly cleaned up the shop where everyone had left.
Another day ends!
After more than an hour, the food stock in the store was almost ready. Su Xiaoxiao jumped up and took Sun Wen and a few friends to prepare their own food.
"Here I come to get the juice vermicelli!"
After being here for so long, my hands can’t learn it, but my brain has memorized it.
From one day on, they started trying to make it themselves. Although their presentation and knife skills were not good, the base and ingredients were top-notch, and the joy they felt when they put the food into their mouths after it was finished was absolutely real.
Xiao Yue was so happy, but he just thought about the question Hua Cancan asked when she left one day - wouldn't it be bad to let us learn like this?
She was silent at first and then smiled. Before she could say anything, Fang Sanhong at the side said something quietly.
"She's eager for you to learn it, and she's already been exploiting me."
Xiao Yue giggled and enjoyed the cold noodles made by Fang Sanhong.
Today was the same, Xiao Yue was walking around in the kitchen, watching Fang Sanhong's increasingly skilled knife skills with a look of praise.
After dinner is ready, we still eat in the backyard, and the sound of chatting can be heard everywhere.
While eating, Xiao Yue looked up and saw the changing weather. It seemed that the wind was blowing a little, the clouds were a little thicker, and the air was a little humid.
It seemed that good was not the case. The next second, a heavy rain fell without any warning.
Not only was it raining heavily, but the wind was also blowing.
Because no one had expected this, Fang Sanhong and his companions could only brave the rain and pack up the items in the backyard that could not be exposed to the rain.
Xiao Yue and Lu Ran, who was closest to them, went to the corners and pulled out the awnings that the former had exchanged for long ago as a precaution.
However, Xiao Yue's side was stuck, and her other hand was still holding the cold noodles that she had saved in time, so she had some powerlessness in her other hand.
"I'll do it."
Fortunately, Lu Ran reached out and fixed the stuck awning with a click. He was about to go back to his own end, but the wind was strong and an unknown object blew straight over and was about to hit Xiao Yue on the back.
She didn't have time to dodge, but the next second, Lu Ran punched her.
“Bang!”
A sound.
Xiao Yue immediately saw a small ice cream mold on the ground. It had been cracked in half due to the strong force and was floating on the ground with the strong wind.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Lu Ran was also stunned for a moment, and said: "I didn't control my strength, luckily I didn't hit you."
"It's okay." Xiao Yue was absent-minded for two seconds, then looked at her: "Lady, you are very skilled."
Such strength and reaction, so professional!
Lu Ran scratched his head embarrassedly and continued to go to the other end to open the awning.
Soon, thanks to the timely rescue of everyone, the backyard of Yueting Self-service House was protected from the rain, and the objects that were exposed to the rain remained in place. After all, the awning could only cover part of the area.
The rain had already been falling loudly, the sound of water hitting the awning was deafening, the water splashed everywhere on the ground, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air.
The little orange cat jumped out from somewhere, not wet at all, and walked towards Xiao Yue with a sloppy look on its face.
“Boom—”
Suddenly, thunder roared in the dark cloudy sky.
Before Xiao Yue could react, Xiaoju climbed on top of her with a look of fear on her face. She quickly squatted down and let it shrink into her arms.
“Meow…”
It turns out that this is a kitten that is afraid of thunder.
Xiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to squat down and lean against the pillar behind him, and then... and then finish eating the cold noodles in his hand.
She was not the only one. Fang Sanhong and others also had their unfinished dinner in their hands and continued to enjoy it with a calm look on their faces.
There was a rain shelter in the yard, but water still flowed in from the ground, so everyone chose to stay on the first floor. But no one sat down, some stood, and some squatted.
Xiao Yue finished eating the cold noodles with a satisfied look on his face, and looked outside the backyard where he could see the rain.
It rained heavily. It was the first rain from the beginning of summer in May to the end of the month. It came unexpectedly, but it brought cooling to the hot and dry weather.
Xiao Yue rubbed the warm little orange in his arms and estimated that the rain would last for a few days.
Especially we don’t know when it will stop tonight, and we can’t say when everyone can go home.
"Um..." At this time, Hua Jinjin, who was also observing the rain, turned around, accepted everyone's gaze, and said shyly: "I brought some cards, do you want to play?"
Playing cards, a form of entertainment in Liuyun City, has long been popular and almost every household plays it.
Isn't it just modern playing cards?
Xiao Yue understood immediately. Xiao Yue stood up holding Xiao Ju in her arms. Xiao Yue was the first one to raise her hand in agreement.
"Play!"
The leader of Yueting Self-service Restaurant agreed, and the rest of the people smiled, found two tables, formed a circle, and started.
Three people play cards at a time. There are seven of them, divided into two tables.
In the first round, Fang Sanhong said she would just watch, so Xiao Yue played with Lu Ran and Sun Wen.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Yue lost a round but his morale remained high: "I just started playing, don't panic, I will definitely win the next round."
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Yue, who lost three games, kept smiling: "It's interesting, it's okay, I learned some skills."
Half an hour later.
Xiao Yue, who had always lost while everyone else had won, fell into deep thought: "Is there something wrong with this card?"
Lu Ran: “…”
Sun Wen: “…”
Fang Sanhong laughed disdainfully and picked him up: "If you don't know how to play, come and watch me play."
Xiao Yue was silent, Xiao Yue stood up, Xiao Yue really watched her play a game and cursed her to lose, to prove again that it was the reason for this position.
Unfortunately, Fang Sanhong won.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath, ignored him, and went to eat at another table.
Hua Jinjin stood up to give her her seat and encouraged her, then watched her play a losing card.
Xiao Yue lost.
Xiao Yue smiled: "No doubt, it's because of the weather."
Everyone: “…”
If you say so, then it is.
A game of cards lasted until late at night, and Xiao Yue didn't get a seat in the end. Everyone kindly advised her and said they would definitely come back next time.
Xiao Yue: “…”?
——
The next day.
The rain is still falling, just a little lighter than last night. But you must bring an umbrella when going out.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yue pulled up the awning in the yard and put away the separate parasols.
After all, it is only enough to cover a single table. Customers have to stand up and walk around to get their food, so a spacious awning is naturally more convenient.
In addition, Xiao Yue placed a table in the yard and at the entrance of the first floor, and put up signs asking everyone to use it to place umbrellas.
The breakfast was served on time as usual. There were slightly fewer customers than usual, but compared to other shops, it was crowded.
There were a lot of people eating rice noodles this morning, probably because the temperature had dropped, and they all liked to drink a sip of hot bone soup.
Xiao Yue walked slowly in the store, adding some side dishes and seasonings to the rice noodles, and this morning's breakfast was complete.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, it's time to prepare lunch.
We have added a lot of new products recently and have a lot of inventory, but the lunch area and flavor area have not changed, so it doesn’t take long to prepare them all.
Fang Sanhong can now also help cook a few dishes in the kitchen, and the taste is no worse than that of Xiao Yue, the chef who has been in charge for the longest time.
Xiao Yue was very satisfied with this. While praising her, he hinted that he would organize another card entertainment activity in the evening.
Fang Sanhong: "I declined."
Xiao Yue: “…”
It's chilling that she actually rejected me with the words she once said!
In short, Xiao Yue wanted to play cards, and the people in the store hesitated after hearing it, saying that they had something to do and had to go back early in the evening.
Xiao Yue was so angry that he turned around and went to the second floor to collect the dishes.
The tables on the second floor are bigger than those on the first floor, and the space is more spacious. After all, the buffet food and drinks are all on the first floor, and customers have to come down once to order more seats. Bigger tables can accommodate more seats.
Xiao Yue walked to the window. The people at the table had just left, but the window was still open, probably because it was opened just now to get some fresh air.
The rain was heavier than before. Xiao Yue reached out to turn down the rain a little, but when he glanced outside, he paused.
The second floor is in a great location. From the window you can directly see what's happening on the street, and you can also see the shops across the street.
Xiao Yue noticed that the door of the tea shop at the very edge was half open, and there was a figure walking inside.
A small hand stretched out from the crack of the door to catch the rain, and then the head of a familiar little girl appeared.
But the next second the little girl looked back, as if she was scolded, and quickly withdrew her hand, and the door was closed.
Xiao Yue didn't see anyone coming out again. He lowered his eyes and closed the window a little, looking a little confused.
That tea shop was the one she had wanted to take over previously, but unfortunately the owner never came back and the matter was left unresolved.
Why is Xu Qingwu there?
