This is a small ban mian restaurant. In order to attract more customers, a few tables are set up at the door.
After finishing her work with the wave of customers at noon, the proprietress can finally relax.
She scooped a bowl of noodles for herself and asked her three children to gather around her, each of them having a bowl and an egg.
The proprietress has been running a ban mian shop near the university town for almost five years. Her husband passed away last year, leaving her alone to raise three children.
One person has to play both the role of a father and a mother, and also take care of the business, and is exhausted with back pain every day.
Fortunately, there are many students nearby and the daily flow of people is not small, so the income is still acceptable.
"Third child, how are your studies going lately? Are you keeping up?" the proprietress asked the youngest child while eating.
"I can keep up." The third child just started first grade this year and is the only son.
The proprietress touched her son's head, smiled kindly, and added a piece of bean curd skin for him.
Every time I see my son, I think of my deceased husband. They look so alike!
"Study hard! Otherwise, you'll end up like your parents, only able to open a small shop and earn a hard-earned living."
"Don't worry, Mom. When you grow up, I will be a boss and let you live a peaceful life." Although the son is young, he is quite sensible and knows that it is not easy for his mother to be alone.
"Okay, then I'll wait to enjoy it!" As she said that, the proprietress picked up some sausages for the two sisters.
The whole family was well taken care of by the boss lady.
But the good days are coming to an end.
Recently, the landlord has frequently come to inform her that the rent will increase by 3,000 yuan per month starting next month.
This amount was enough to give her a headache, after all, it was the monthly living expenses for a family of four.
A hemp rope breaks at its thinnest part, and life only bullies the poor.
The landlady couldn't understand why her kind husband died in a car accident. She also couldn't understand why the landlord raised the rent just when business was picking up.
Looking at the three children who were concentrating on eating, talking and laughing, she couldn't help but sigh.
3000 is 3000! If you don't give it to me, I will have to find a new house.
Unable to help but burst into tears, the proprietress quickly turned aside and wiped them secretly.
Just then, the sound of brakes caught her attention.
At first glance, a very luxurious SUV and a very majestic sedan stopped in front of me. A man and two women got out of the cars and headed straight for the ban mian stall.
The proprietress quickly stood up and stood nervously. She was not sure whether these three people came to eat ban mian.
The probability of someone driving such a nice car to eat ban mian is very low, even lower than the probability of the landlord shitting in the pit.
"Madam boss, three big bowls of flat noodles with bean curd, meatballs, and lots of chili!" The handsome man in the lead was skilled in taking orders, and a deep-rooted diaper temperament emanated from him.
If it’s not Pan Han, who the hell could it be!
"I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" After ordering the food, Pan Han shouted in his heart.
Yan Xiaoli and Wang Doudou looked at the banmian stall curiously.
There were several large bowls piled up on the table, some of them had not been cleared away yet, toilet paper stained with chili oil was thrown on the floor, disposable chopsticks were scattered on the table, and the three children were sweating profusely while eating.
Yan Xiaoli was constantly filming outside, and had seen all sorts of filth and disorder. Wang Doudou, having not seen ordinary people's lives in years, couldn't help but hold her nose.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down!" Pan Han casually sat down on the plastic bench and pulled the two of them to do the same.
The lady boss saw that they were really here to eat. The familiar rhythm of their ordering made them look like former students.
Could it be that now that he has graduated and become successful, he is here with his friends to reminisce about the good old days?
She reacted immediately, agreed quickly, and ran to the kitchen to prepare the noodles.
"How is it? The environment is nice, right?" Pan Han introduced it to the two beauties with pride.
"Tsk, I've seen everything your sister has!" Yan Xiaoli said with a look of disdain, lighting a cigarette.
When Pan Han saw her smoking, he turned around to look at the children, then pulled the three of them to sit at a table farther away.
"I'll smoke here to avoid disturbing the children." After saying that, he lit one for himself.
"Pan Han, how come you are so familiar with this place?" Wang Doudou looked puzzled.
"You are just a young lady with no life. When I was in school, I used to come here often to eat." Pan Han and Wang Doudou recalled the past.
"Doudou, can you eat spicy food? Pan Hanke said that this thing is full of chili peppers. It can even spray water." Yan Xiaoli is away from home all year round and has no problem eating spicy food.
"Let me correct you. I'm not going to spray water, I'm going to shoot you in the mouth!" Pan Han said seriously.
"Puchi!" Wang Doudou found it very funny to see the two of them talking in such a pretentious manner.
"Shit! I forgot to tell you." Pan Han suddenly slapped his thigh and rushed into the kitchen.
After a while, he returned to his seat.
The two beauties looked confused. What was going on?
"I forgot to tell you to roll the noodles by hand, not by machine. Otherwise they won't be chewy," Pan Han explained with a smug look on his face. He was now the most popular ban mian chef on the street.
“Awesome!”
“Awesome!”
"The flat noodles for you three are ready." At this time, the proprietress brought a large plate of flat noodles.
"Hey, why is the bowl covered with a plastic bag?" Wang Doudou was surprised when he saw this operation.
"You don't understand. If it's not covered with a plastic bag, it's not authentic! Haha!" Pan Han didn't know how to explain it, so he just gave the excuse of "plastic"!
"What a mess!" Wang Doudou didn't waste any words and just picked up the disposable chopsticks and prepared to eat.
"Come on, come on, let's get started!"
Following Pan Han's command, the handsome man and beautiful woman began to eat noodles with big mouthfuls.
After taking a big mouthful of noodles and eating two juicy chili peppers, Pan Han looked very satisfied.
