Chapter 204 The Small Broken Shop in the Alley Part Three
Before leaving, the landlady had regained her original enthusiasm, and the feeling of loss just now seemed like a scene from yesterday.
"You've got it, you have to eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good." He handed the bag to Yu Jian without forgetting to pay attention, and then turned around and started ordering food for the new guests.
Yu Jian stood at the door for a long time, while Daju was still lying lazily on the ground. He stretched his neck secretly and smelled the bag in her hand. After discovering that it was the smell that he often smelled, he continued without interest.
Keep going with your head.
After a while, Yu Jian took a step forward. Just as the landlady said, life must go on and people have to look forward.
In the hotel, Huang Nuan finally stretched out his hand from the warm quilt and took out his mobile phone from under the pillow. The screen lit up, the time clearly read nine o'clock, and there were countless missed calls.
All her sleepyheads were scared away. She almost jumped out of bed and kept muttering: "Oops, oops, oops -"
It's time for Ah Jian to curse again.
Yu Jian in the next room sneezed hard, rubbed her nose, glanced at the wall, and complained to Chen Xinyi who was eating Xiaolongbao: "Huang Nuan must be talking about me."
Chen Xinyi answered vaguely: "Is it so accurate?"
"In five minutes, she will definitely knock on your door -" Yu Jian spread her hands.
Sure enough, before the five minutes were up, the doorbell rang hastily. Chen Xinyi slowed down a beat, and as soon as she got up, she heard the door being impatiently knocked on the outside. Huang Nuan shouted: "Little braid, it's me, open the door quickly!"
"
When the door opened a crack, he couldn't wait to get in, pulling Chen Xinyi and shouting: "What should I do? I overslept again, what should I do if A Jian gets angry and scolds me?"
Chen Xinyi walked forward in silence. She was chirping at the back and asked desperately. When she unconsciously raised her head, she found that the protagonist was looking at her with a half-smile.
Huang Nuan froze on the spot, his whole face wrinkled up, and then, little by little, he moved to Yu Jian's side, showing a flattering smile: "Ah! Why are you here, Jian?"
Yu Jian raised the corners of her lips, glanced at her with her hands on her chest, "Why don't I prepare to scold you?"
Huang Nuan stiffened, and hurriedly beat her legs and squeezed her shoulders: "Oh, our Ajian is so gentle and sweet, how can she curse?"
"No - you just told me that A-Jian is so vicious that when he stares at you, he will panic..." Chen Xinyi chewed the fried pork chop in her mouth, adding insult to injury.
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Huang Nuan waved desperately at her. If he kept talking, he would really be done for today——
So when Chen Xinyi and Yu Jian joined forces, Huang Nuan felt like he couldn't escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He angrily finished two cages of steamed dumplings, a portion of fried pork chops, and drank a whole bowl of steamed dumplings.
After eating the wontons, he burped loudly, crossed his legs, and asked: "Tell me, how can you forgive me?"
Yu Jian and Chen Xinyi exchanged glances, and both smiled.
As a result, the lovely classmate Huang Nuan was extorted from another lunch.
…
Huang Nuan originally wanted to go to a famous local restaurant and was prepared to suffer a lot, but Yu Jian felt that although this small shop in the alley was small, it was shocking everywhere.
The three of them discussed it and decided to go exploring again, maybe there would be new surprises.
The further we walked through the alley, the less we could see the end. One second it felt like we were at the bottom, and the next second we turned a corner and found a new path.
This is how Xiangfu Restaurant comes into view. It is different from other restaurants. In front of the door is a simple fence made by myself, with a low flower wall and a few thin little flower seedlings planted on it. Perhaps in winter,
The flower seedlings have lost their leaves and are swaying naked in the cold wind.
On the wall at the door is an abstract painting painted in oil. At first glance, it seems a bit nondescript, but it has an indescribable sense of harmonious beauty, as if it was born that way.
The three of them looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what this restaurant was about. It looked quite Western-style on the outside, but the name was China's favorite two characters.
He mustered up the courage to open the door and walk in. The interior was also in a warm American style, with wooden tables and chairs, a tablecloth covered with small floral flowers, and a large-faced sunflower in the vase above. Huang Nuan touched it and made a fuss.
She said: "They are dried flowers..." and she said, how could there be flowers blooming so brightly in this winter.
"Welcome, sit down wherever you want, what do you want to eat?" The boss opened the curtain from behind and came out. He was a rather young man, slightly chubby, wearing a pink Chibi Maruko-chan apron.
Probably because the three of them were staring at his apron, the boss smiled sheepishly and said, "My wife bought it, it's cute, isn't it?" It felt like he was enjoying the misfortune.
Yu Jian nodded: "It suits you very well." Although the boss is fat, his skin is fair and fair like that of Jiangnan people. Wearing pink doesn't look dark at all, and he is quite fashionable.
After looking around but not seeing the menu, I asked again: "Boss, where is the menu?"
"Oh oh - I'm looking for it -" The boss finally reacted and fumbled at the cashier for a long time, then came back empty-handed, even more embarrassed: "This store has just opened, I forgot about the menu and it's not here yet.
...How about this, just tell me what you want to eat, and I can make it as long as I have the ingredients."
Can it still be like this?
This restaurant doesn’t look very reliable...
Huang Nuan pulled Yu Jian's sleeve and whispered, "How about we switch to another company?"
Yu Jian held her hand that was about to move, smiled calmly, and said to the boss: "I heard that the braised pork in Modu is delicious, can you make it?"
"Of course you can! It sounds like you guys are from out of town, right? Braised pork is a must. Do you want to try my specialty - bullfrog noodles?" the boss asked.
"Then you just have to figure it out."
The boss rubbed his hands: "Okay, then you guys drink some water first. If you want a drink, you can get it yourself. It's free." After saying that, he opened the curtain and went back.
After a while, the sound of cooking came from inside, and the aroma gradually filled the entire shop.
Huang Nuan took a deep breath and sighed: "It smells so good - what are you doing?"
Yu Jian sniffed it carefully: "It seems to be frying bullfrogs."
Ten minutes later, three huge bowls of bullfrog noodles were served on the table, with large chunks of tender bullfrog covering the entire noodle bowl.
Huang Nuan pressed her fingers against the wall of the bowl, and while swallowing her saliva, she said, "How can I finish eating this..."
She was answered by the hands of two best friends who had already picked up the chopsticks. She quickly held the chopsticks and stirred the noodles first.
The slightly spicy soup is thick and delicious, filled with the aroma of pepper and pork chops, fresh and sweet. The bullfrog meat is tight, tender and full of elasticity. It has just been fried and is still smoldering. The meat and bones are easily separated, and the bullfrog legs are soaked in the sauce.
It's full of flavor, delicate and rich.
"It's delicious -" Huang Nuan chewed the bullfrog meat with satisfaction and took another bite of noodles. The noodles are handmade and have a chewy texture. You can bite them gently with your teeth and mix them with the soup, which makes people love it.
Even Yu Jian also had a mouthful of delicious food and was filled with admiration. Yu Jian seemed to have discovered some great secret. It turns out that the people in Modu like to use alkaline water for their pasta.
While I was thinking about it, the boss came out with a giant casserole and shouted: "Come on, give way, here comes the braised pork!"
