"Then -" Xu Youning asked in a daze, "What's going on?"
The new owners of the restaurant are a young couple.
The girl told Xu Youning that he and her husband were childhood sweethearts. Like Xu Youning, they were born and grew up here.
Their parents are both doctors and work in the same hospital. They are always so busy that they have no time to cook for them.
Their parents had only one way: to give them money to eat at Grandma Xu's small restaurant, and they made it clear that they could only go to Grandma Xu's small restaurant.
Neighbors all know that Grandma Xu is not only good at craftsmanship, but also pursues food hygiene to the extreme. The most important thing is that Grandma Xu only uses fresh ingredients.
They are also very obedient. They go to school together every day and eat together in Grandma Xu’s small restaurant after school. If their parents haven’t come back after dinner, they do their homework together in Grandma Xu’s small restaurant.
When they grew up, they got together naturally.
After graduating from college, they returned to the ancient village and made an appointment to visit Grandma Xu together, but they heard that Grandma Xu had left.
With an entrepreneurial impulse in their hearts, coupled with their love for catering and their feelings for small restaurants, they decided to take over Grandma Xu's small restaurant.
They renovated the small restaurant and changed the environment to their own taste and aesthetic, but they kept the original menu.
Every dish name on the menu is not only missed by them, but also missed by old diners.
Grandma Xu is gone, and they hope they can pass on the warmth and beauty of the old lady.
Xu Youning should have known about these things four years ago.
But she didn't expect that it would take four years for her to return to this place after leaving G City last time.
"We remember you." The girl said, "You are Grandma Xu's granddaughter."
Xu Youning smiled and said yes, and sincerely thanked the shop owner and his wife: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The girl's smile was warm and healing, "Sit down and see what you want to eat, just order it. By the way, the dishes we make taste very similar to what Grandma Xu makes!"
"..."
Xu Youning was surprised——
Someone can actually imitate grandma and make meals with the same taste?
"Really." The girl didn't know if she was shy, her cheeks were rosy, and her voice was small but very sure, "I like food very much. I used to pester Grandma Xu to teach me how to cook when she was free, so I know that Xu
How grandma usually does it."
Xu Youning looked at the girl and suddenly remembered that she might have an impression of this girl.
She has never seen her, but her grandmother has mentioned her.
She did not inherit her grandmother's good skills and had no interest in the kitchen, so she was complained about by her grandmother more than once.
When her grandmother was complaining about her, she mentioned a girl who was much younger than her. She liked cooking very much and would learn from her whenever she had time.
The girl her grandmother mentioned to her at that time was probably this girl. She didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to meet.
Grandma would be very happy if she knew that her craftsmanship was passed down in this way.
Xu Youning ordered a few of her favorite dishes, handed the menu to the girl, and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
"You're welcome." The girl held the menu and looked at Musijue shyly, "Where is this gentleman, what do you want to order?"
Mu Sijue signaled no need, and the girl took away his menu, glanced at him secretly, and trotted to the kitchen.
Xu Youning finally understood why the girl blushed——
It turned out to be because of Musijue.
But it’s normal. After all, the most intuitive feeling about Musijue is: handsome!
His facial features are as beautiful as artistic sculptures, coupled with his innately powerful aura. When you meet a stranger, your brain will probably go blank for a short time. You can't believe that there is such a good-looking person in the world.
How did Xu Youning know this feeling?
This was how she felt when she met Musijue for the first time!
At that time, she even felt that her soul had been hit hard, and she felt that Musijue had refreshed her perception of handsomeness and charm.
It turns out that someone really can be so good-looking.
It turns out that there are really people who can be full of charm in every move they make.
…
Mu Sijue saw that Xu Youning was distracted, thought she was thinking of Grandma Xu, and gently held her hand.
Xu Youning reacted and smiled at Mu Sijue, indicating that she was fine.
"Two, let's drink the soup first." A boy came over with a wooden tray and a delicate white porcelain bowl filled with soup. "My wife also learned this pork ribs and kelp soup from Grandma Xu. Although the taste is light, it is the best choice."
The ingredients are exquisite and the food is delicious!”
The meaty aroma of the pork ribs and the fragrance of kelp are mixed together, which is enough to awaken people's appetite.
Xu Youning used to like to drink this soup the most.
She couldn't wait to take a sip, and found that the taste was no different from what her grandma made, so she urged Musijue: "It tastes good, try it quickly."
Mu Sijue had never eaten the food cooked by Grandma Xu, but he could tell that the soup was well cooked and said, "It tastes very good."
After receiving approval from the two diners, the boy happily walked back behind the counter.
After a while, the dishes Xu Youning ordered were ready and served.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, the tableware is exquisite and the presentation is exquisite, and it has a more petty bourgeois atmosphere than eating a real home-cooked meal.
Mu Sijue took apart a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xu Youning, saying, "Try it."
Xu Youning tasted the fish-flavored eggplant and then tried several other dishes.
Mu Sijue did not move his chopsticks and followed Xu Youning with his eyes. He saw her tasting several dishes one by one and asked her what she thought they tasted.
"It is indeed similar to what grandma makes. However, it seems that the seasonings are richer." Xu Youning said, "It should be to take care of other customers, I have made improvements based on grandma's recipe."
"..."
"It's pretty good to be able to make it like this." Xu Youning continued, "If grandma were still here, she would have been improving her methods and ingredients."
Nothing stays the same forever. As we live, we have to accept some changes from time to time.
Xu Youning has already realized this truth.
Mu Sijue didn't say anything, he just motioned to Xu Youning to eat quickly and said, "I'll take you to a place after eating."
"good!"
Xu Youning didn't ask where they were going next and just enjoyed the familiar taste.
More than half an hour later, there were gradually more people in the store, including young people coming for sightseeing and local elderly people.
Everyone was chatting while eating. The owner and his wife were so busy that they had no time to pay special attention to Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
After eating, Xu Youning took the initiative to go to the front desk to check out.
The girl was taking orders for the guests at another table. While placing the order, she smiled at Xu Youning and said, "No need. We'll treat you to food."
Xu Youning said: "Then what?
OK……"
The girl signaled to Xu Youning not to be polite and said, "You never have to pay when you eat here!"
"..."
Xu Youning was stunned and smiled, unable to refute for a moment.
Indeed, when she ate here, she never paid.
"Okay, I'm going to get busy." The girl tied her apron again, "You are welcome to come again."
Before Xu Youning could say anything, the girl had already run to the kitchen to prepare food.
When leaving, Xu Youning took a few big bills from Mu Sijue's wallet and pressed them at the bottom of the bowl.
She used to eat here without paying.
However, many things are different from before.
Grandma has left this world, and she and Mu Sijue can no longer live in G city.
Even though grandma's former residence is still there, the restaurant is still in business, and the menu still retains her grandma's menu, but Xu Youning cannot ignore the changes that have been made.
However, she is not sentimental.
She can accept all changes and is willing to embrace a new life.
Everything started when she had to pay to eat here!
After getting in the car, Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with an obvious smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Musijue asked.
Xu Youning pondered for a moment and answered the question:
"Si Jue, I know you brought me back because you wanted to comfort me and not be sad. You wanted to tell me that some things are still there and haven't changed. In fact, I know that. I also know that it was you who worked hard behind the scenes to maintain that there are some things.
It has not been changed. But when I came back today, I saw that it had changed."
"You Ning..."
Mu Sijue's voice was low, trying to comfort Xu Youning.
Xu Youning shook his head and signaled to Mu Sijue not to worry about her, and said with a bright smile: "I can accept the changes, such as the restaurant has been run by someone else, we can't live in City A, and... grandma has left.
.”
"..." Mu Sijue grasped Xu Youning's hand with some force and told her word by word, "You still have me."
"Yes!" Xu Youning nodded, turned his palm over, clasped Mu Sijue's hand, and said, "I know."
After a pause, Xu Youning continued: "I also know that you are worried that I will be sad because of grandma's departure. I have thought about it and am not sad anymore. And I know that grandma definitely doesn't want me to be sad. She just wants us to be good.
of."
Mu Sijue's expression relaxed and showed a relieved expression.
Although he didn't say it, Xu Youning knew that what he was thinking at this moment was: It's good that she knows this.
She had understood it a long time ago, and he didn't need to take such pains to tell her.
Or, in his eyes, she is the same as she was four years ago, with no progress at all?
"In short," Xu Youning promised, "I will no longer be sad because of my grandma's departure, and I will no longer blame myself!"
With such a guarantee, Musijue was very satisfied and asked Ajie to go to the next place and told him to stop the car when he saw a flower shop.
Xu Youning knew without guessing that they would definitely go to see their grandmother next.
But when grandma left, she hurriedly placed her in a temple on the mountain.
Mu Sijue asked Ajie to park his car at the flower shop. Could it be that...
Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue in disbelief and was speechless for a long time...
