Chapter 133 Chicken Cold Noodles
The road from Yan County to the provincial capital was not easy to travel on. It was quite bumpy all the way and Xu Qingmeng felt very uncomfortable sitting there. Now that they had entered the provincial capital, the city was very lively and naturally they did not want to get back on the carriage.
Just as Xu Qingmeng was about to speak, she saw Sun Jingyi walking towards Jiang Mingyu in small steps.
She leaned slightly to the side and said to Jiang Mingyu coquettishly, "Husband, it's so stuffy in the car, can we walk over there?"
Jiang Mingyu looked at the other people somewhat embarrassedly.
Gu Yunyi was fine, but Xu Qingmeng was pregnant after all, so he looked at Xu Qingmeng and saw her nod gently, then said: "It's already noon, why don't we have a meal together first."
Huang Boyang had no objection: "Okay, this place happens to be close to my yard. Let the driver deliver the luggage and other things over first, and then tell the gatekeeper Lao Li to see if there are any better yards around."
"That really troubles Brother Boyang."
Everyone expressed their gratitude.
Huang Boyang waved his hand, gave a few instructions to the carriage driver, and then took Gu Yunyi and the others to eat.
He had been to the city many times and was familiar with the place. He quickly brought them to a pretty good restaurant.
But it’s noon now, and there are quite a lot of people in the hall, so the relatively better seats are no longer available.
Huang Boyang consulted a few people and then found a random seat to sit down.
Several others followed behind.
Sun Jingyi paused where she was, glanced around the busy hall, and there was a moment of dissatisfaction on her face.
Xu Qingmeng noticed that Jiang Mingyu's wife seemed a little dissatisfied, but she might have seen it wrong, so she didn't care.
"My wife, let's go quickly. Why are you in a daze?" Jiang Mingyu turned around and called her.
"Hey, here it comes." Sun Jingyi curled her lips.
As soon as everyone sat down, they called the waiter over and couldn't help introducing the specialties of the store to everyone.
"This shop mainly serves a variety of noodles, especially the shredded chicken cold noodles and the sesame noodles, which are very good. You can try them later.
After Huang Boyang said this, the others watched and ordered one of the two, and then added a few refreshing cold dishes, which were very suitable for eating in this summer.
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi each ordered something different so they could share. Finally, Gu Yunyi asked the waiter, "Do you have any hot soup?"
"The kitchen in our store has small bowls of specially stewed soups, which are all stewed for more than three hours. Today we have beef soup, which is very nourishing. Young Master, please have a bowl."
Gu Yunyi nodded and ordered a bowl of beef soup.
There is rarely any beef in the market, so today is their good luck.
When the food came, the small bowl of soup was really small, somewhat similar to the modern clay pot soup, except that the material was different, but the principle was the same.
Shredded chicken cold noodles and sesame noodles are the signature dishes of this restaurant, and both come in equally large portions.
The shredded chicken noodles are topped with shredded chicken, cucumber and radish, with a spoonful of thick sauce in the middle.
Gu Yunyi first placed a small bowl of beef soup in front of Xu Qingmeng, and then imitated Huang Boyang's actions and mixed the shredded chicken cold noodles.
The noodles are boiled in water and mixed with sauce, which makes them more tempting.
Gu Yunyi handed the shredded chicken noodles to Xu Qingmeng and started to mix the sesame noodles.
The sesame noodles are only topped with cucumber shreds, and there is a small bowl of seasonings on the side, which mainly include sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.
Gu Yunyi poured the seasoning in the bowl directly into the noodles and mixed it as before.
Gu Yunyi asked the waiter for a small bowl, picked up a piece of sesame noodles with chopsticks and handed it to Xu Qingmeng, asking her to taste it, and then he started eating.
Gu Yunyi took a bite and it tasted very good. However, he often ate pasta made by Xu Qingmeng at home, so it was not very special, but in comparison, it was already very good.
"It's delicious. This kind of cold noodles is what I want to eat in the summer. It's really good." Zhou Yuanjia let out a very satisfied sigh.
The others also nodded.
Huang Boyang kept paying attention to the feedback from several people before he felt relieved.
Huang Boyang ate his noodles and said, "If we add some red chili oil, it will taste better and more exciting. It's a bit bland now."
Everyone at the table had eaten red chili peppers before, except Jiang Mingyu, who did not live in the county seat of Yan County. As soon as Huang Boyang finished speaking, he asked,
"I think I heard about this red chili oil once before. Is it made by your family, Brother Gu? That person said that the taste is really unique. And the mushroom chili sauce is also delicious. It is very good when sandwiched with any food."
Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but it goes well with these noodles."
Turning his head to look at Xu Qingmeng, he saw that she didn't drink much soup but ate a lot of noodles. Gu Yunyi frowned.
"The noodles are a little cold, drink some soup first."
Xu Qingmeng looked up at him, then pushed the bowl of soup in front of him, motioning for him to have a taste.
Gu Yunyi was very confused, then he picked it up and took a bite, and immediately frowned.
This soup didn't have any seasoning and the taste was very light. If it were just that, it would be fine, but it also had a fishy smell that made my mouth feel uncomfortable.
"Ahem, forget it, I'd better not drink it." He put the soup aside, then drank a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then asked the waiter to bring a kettle of hot water.
Xu Qingmeng just smiled. This person was very picky, just like Yun Sheng and Yun Mo. In fact, she was the one who made him picky.
Sun Jingyi, who was standing by, saw this and felt jealous. They were also a couple. Looking at the other couple and then at the person next to her who was eating heartily, she suddenly felt even angrier.
She couldn't help but pinch Jiang Mingyu, but not hard.
Jiang Mingyu didn't understand, so he turned around and asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Sun Jingyi raised her chin and motioned for Jiang Mingyu to look.
Who knew that this idiot misunderstood, and the moment he looked up, it was Gu Yunyi who threw the soup away and said with a smile,
"Look, I was just about to say, why order hot soup in such a hot day? Isn't it a waste?"
Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "This cold noodle is very cold. Drinking something hot is good for your body."
Everyone knew that he did this for Xu Qingmeng, who was still pregnant, so it was right to take better care of her, so they all smiled kindly.
Just then the waiter brought the hot water over. Jiang Mingyu thought that he also had a wife, so after Gu Yunyi poured a cup of hot water for Xu Qingmeng, he also poured a cup for his wife.
