Chapter 222: A Cold Noodle Restaurant



Leng Yu shook his head, "I'm not familiar with him. Xiao Lingzi came to arrange it in advance."

Luo Lan nodded. So that's why. No wonder the boss seemed so familiar with him.

At the warm invitation of the shop owner, the group went directly to the second floor of the noodle restaurant and found a seat by the window.

Although this noodle restaurant is located in a remote area and has few customers, it is spacious and bright inside.

Leng Xi looked around carefully, then pursed his lips and muttered in surprise,

"This boss's idea is really unique. He opened a noodle shop in a place like this. It would be strange if he didn't lose all his money."

Hearing that his words sounded unlucky, Luo Lan directly rejected them:

"I don't think so. As long as the products are well made, the business will be good. Just like us, we also came here from the city."

Leng Xi continued to curl his lips in disbelief.

"It seems this place hasn't been open for very long. I don't know how Fourth Brother found out about it. Besides, there aren't many customers here, so the food probably isn't that good. If I had known this, I might as well have gone to Tianxianglou."

Listening to him nagging and complaining, Luo Lan rolled his eyes and glared at him, scolding him unhappily.

"I'm treating you to a free meal, and you're still talking so much. You can go to Tianxianglou, and no one will stop you. I think the place my husband chooses must be the best."

Luo Lan's words made Leng Xi stop talking. He had finally gotten up early and gotten the chance to follow them, so how could he leave?

So he quickly put on a smiling face and said in a flattering tone:

"You must have misunderstood me, my fourth brother and his wife are so affectionate, and he brought her here on the Lantern Festival. This must not be a spur-of-the-moment decision. There must be something special about this place."

Although his words of praise sounded a bit forced, Luo Lan didn't want to argue with him anymore because she saw four waiters coming up the stairs one after another, each holding a bowl of noodles and walking slowly towards them.

After the four people placed the noodles on the table, one of the waiters said seriously:

"Please enjoy your meal."

Then he waved his hand, and the others followed him downstairs quickly.

There was a bowl of noodles in front of each of them. The noodles looked very fresh. There were not only noodles, but also mutton, fungus, kelp, vermicelli, green onions, coriander, wolfberry, ginger, garlic, etc.

Looking at such a bowl of noodles with good color, aroma and taste, Luo Lan couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece to eat.

The taste is even more authentic than the Henan braised noodles she had when she traveled in her previous life.

“It’s delicious.”

Before she could speak, Leng Xi took the lead in praising her.

Leng Ming's mouth was stuffed full, he opened his eyes wide and sobbed.

"It's...it's so delicious. This is the first time...the first time I've eaten noodles this delicious."

Looking at the satisfied expressions on these people's faces, Leng Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, and there was a hint of relief between his brows.

In a very short time, several people had finished the bowl of noodles. Leng Xi and Leng Ming even drank up all the soup at the bottom of the bowl.

After eating, Leng Xi patted his stomach and said contentedly:

"This bowl of braised noodles is truly a beautiful sight in this world. I'll definitely promote it among my circle of friends so that this wonderful place won't be forgotten."

Seeing this, Luo Lan also muttered and agreed.

"Yes, noodles this delicious are hard to find. We must promote this place more and keep it open, because I want to come back to eat next time."

Seeing Luo Lan's cute face flushed with food, Leng Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at her and said softly:

"As long as my lady likes it, this place will not close."

Leng Xi sneered, muttering in disbelief.

"Business here is so quiet. If it stays like this, it would be strange if the boss doesn't close the shop. Unless Fourth Brother takes over this place, he can have the final say."

Leng Yu had a hint of amusement in his eyes. He turned to look at Leng Xi and raised his eyebrows and replied:

"That's not necessary. As long as you, Fifth Brother, bring more customers here and let more people know about this place, we won't close down."

Seeing him pull back the words, Leng Xi raised his head proudly and said complacently:

"Of course. For the sake of my sister-in-law, I won't let this place close."

Luo Lan didn't care about Leng Xi's words. Leng Yu thought that this boy was trying to please him on purpose. Leng Ming had a serious expression on his face. Maybe he had been suppressed in the palace for too long and was a little unfamiliar with the worldly life.

After dinner, a few people set off again and headed for the teahouse.

Before leaving, Leng Yu and the shop owner whispered a few words to each other. Luo Lan didn't hear what they said, and she didn't intend to ask.

After Leng Yu got into the carriage, the horse slowly drove away. Without waiting for Luo Lan to speak, Leng Yu said directly:

"My lady, this place belongs to Huichuntang, it is our family's property."

Hearing this, Luo Lan's brows were filled with surprise. She looked at Leng Yu with her mouth wide open and asked in astonishment:

"Where did you get this money?"

Leng Yu smiled and murmured:

"So I chose this address. Although it's not outside the city gates, it's far enough from the center of the capital, so the price is naturally much cheaper. Of course, this is just the beginning. People in Huichuntang must have a legitimate livelihood. But this matter is only known to you and me, don't mention it to anyone else."

After hearing what he said, Luo Lan finally understood. No wonder the boss was so attentive when they first arrived, as if he was very familiar with him. So that's it!

Luo Lan was somewhat touched by Leng Yu's openness to everything. It seemed as if they had formed a tacit understanding that no matter how big or small the matter was, they would tell each other in time. This also showed that their original oath was not in vain.

After the carriage stopped at the teahouse, the four people got off the carriage one after another. Leng Yu still held Luo Lan's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would get lost.

This teahouse is a completely different world compared to the previous noodle restaurant. Although it is a quiet place, the lobby and compartments on the first floor are full of customers.

When the waiter came up, he asked respectfully:

"Everyone, have you made your appointment in advance?"

Hearing this, Leng Xi frowned and said:

"Do you still need a locator? There's no room left?"

The waiter replied with a smile:

"We have to make reservations one to two days in advance. If you don't have a reservation, you can only come back tomorrow."

"What are you talking about? We came all this way here, and you want us to wait until tomorrow? Don't you want to open this shop anymore?"

Leng Xi rolled up his sleeves, looking unyielding.

Leng Yu frowned and said directly:

"Xiao Lingzi decided the location."

Hearing this, the waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded and bowed in response.

"You should have told me earlier. Mr. Xiao Lingzi reserved a table yesterday. Please go upstairs, please."

Leng Xi had just opened his mouth to argue with the waiter, but before he could close it, Leng Yu had already walked in holding Luo Lan's hand. Leng Ming said to him directly:

"Fifth brother, let's go!"
