At the end of the food street, there is a large warehouse.
The owner of this place spent a lot of money to hire a strong man from the Purple Sea Sect to build an eternal cold storage using cold ice magic.
Therefore, semi-finished products from some restaurants are stored here.
Xiangfeng City has been prosperous recently, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming here to purchase goods. It is more than ten times busier than usual.
In one of the warehouses, there were mountains of flour piled high, and on the other side were countless frozen cold meats.
A group of workers kept leaving with cooked noodles from the stove.
In the center of the stove, an old man was covered in sweat, his arms were swollen, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on keeping his face.
On the other side, next to a stove, an old lady with gray hair was chopping meat.
More than ten hours of kneading, boiling noodles, chopping meat, and adjusting the stew... made the two old men look pale and shaky.
Suddenly, the old lady lost strength and fainted.
"Old woman!"
The old man dropped the dough in his hand and ran over quickly, looking anxious.
"Huh, useless trash, you can't even make some brine."
At this time, a young man about 20 years old sneered, and a dozen people behind him also laughed. They were dressed like gangsters, with squinting eyes and crooked mouths.
"Master Liu, I admit that my family, Ji Dongyuan, owes you the Liu family...the restaurant, I have already given it to you. Our two elders originally planned to go to the countryside to retire, so why should the Liu family have to force each other so hard!"
The old man burst into tears, his whole body was shaking with anger, and there was only humiliation in his cloudy eyes.
"Hmph, is my cousin Liu Yueyue's reputation only worth a noodle shop? My Liu family is the richest man in Xiangfeng City, do we need your noodle shop? What our Liu family wants now is fame!"
"Pour a basin of water, wake up, and continue to chop meat... It's really weird. What is the secret recipe for your bowl of noodles? Why can't others learn it?"
Master Liu waved his hand fiercely, his face full of displeasure.
Young Master Liu's name is Liu Yueya, and his father, Liu Erzhu, is the younger brother of Liu Dazhu, the richest man in Xiangfeng City.
Some time ago, uncle Liu Dazhu's daughter, his cousin Liu Yueyue, paid a public visit and married Xiangfeng hero Ji Dongyuan. After that, her cousin was taken away directly by Wan Jianzong.
When the news came back, my cousin was already the direct descendant of the head of the Wanjian Sect, which attracted everyone's attention.
Is this okay?
The Liu family's prosperity has spread like wildfire and is unstoppable.
The Liu family has many heirs, is prosperous, and the competition is fierce. Everyone is trying their best to perform... He, Liu Yueya, is uneducated and has no skills, so he is the least promising one.
One day, he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly found an opportunity to make his mark.
Those are cousin-in-law Ji Dongyuan’s... parents!
Liu Yueya used to run a restaurant in the food street, but it almost faced bankruptcy, so she knew the two of them.
Some time ago, in the name of his in-laws, he frequently came to the house to show his courtesy, comfort his two elders who had lost their son, and help them take care of the restaurant, just so that they could say a few kind words in front of their uncle in the future in the name of their in-laws.
However, a month later, he discovered that he was wrong!
The head of the Liu family, uncle Liu Dazhu, had no idea of getting to know this in-law, and even felt a little disgusted.
Anyway, Ji Dongyuan is already dead. This honorary visit is just a joke. When his daughter graduates from the Wanjian Sect, she will become a high-ranking cultivator. Who will remember Ji Dongyuan then?
So when Liu Yueya went to her uncle to show her courtesy and ask for credit, she was ridiculed and humiliated by her cousins in public.
At that moment, he became so angry that he smashed the Ji family's restaurant.
At this time, some loser came up with the idea, why not just rob the restaurant and make money in the name of Ji Dongyuan? Anyway, the popularity of Xiangfeng Hero has not passed yet, and the noodle restaurant business is full.
As long as you make a lot of money, you don't have to worry about showing off in front of your uncle and feeling proud.
Later, Liu Yueya racked her brains and even threatened Father Ji's relatives, and then managed to control them.
These two old guys are really honest. He just threatened to usurp his relatives' fields, so they made noodles and cooked sauce every day like honest slaves.
Of course, in the past few months, Liu Yueya has made a lot of money, his head is full of oil, and his status in the Liu family has also risen.
"Master Liu, here comes the cold water!"
Goujiuzi handed over a ladle of cold water with ice cubes floating in it.
Snap!
Liu Yueya swung his big hand and threw a ladle of cold water directly on the old lady's head. Father Ji wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Cough, cough!
Ji Niang was stimulated by the cold water and woke up faintly, but she was already exhausted from the endless labor.
"Master Liu, we are really tired. Please spare us... I beg you, old man."
Father Ji felt sorry for his wife and begged for help.
"Well, actually I can let you go, but I have a condition!"
Liu Yueya rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of another opportunity to make a contribution.
"Whatever the conditions are, as long as I can fulfill it, old man, I will definitely agree... Also, you have to let go of my relatives. They are all suffering people and have nothing to do with me. Don't hurt innocent people."
There was no trace of blood on Father Ji's lips, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
"I heard that General Zuo's glorious chariot will come to Xiangfeng City in one day. Please leave Ji Dongyuan's glorious badge with me... I will hang it in the noodle shop as a plaque. Anyway, my subordinates have also learned your noodle cooking skills.
Seventy-eight, it’s enough to fool people.”
Liu Yueya smiled sinisterly, and the dogleg next to him echoed.
"No, I won't give you my son's honorary badge even if I beat him to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Father Ji suddenly stood up like a crazy old leopard, his pupils were scarlet, and he seemed to be about to bite someone the next second.
"Humph, it's useless for you to be angry. The matter of the glory badge is not up to you... My father came back from other places yesterday and will talk to you in person tomorrow. Ji Dongyuan is the son-in-law of my Liu family, and everything he owns belongs to us.
The Liu family...it's not up to you to make the decision."
Liu Yueya was a little afraid of Father Ji, so he led his men away.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!
When the warehouse became deserted, Ji Niang couldn't hold back her tears. Her old face had been splashed with ice water and was already swollen from crying. She looked so embarrassed as an old lady.
Father Ji also had a livid face and was trembling with humiliation.
"Dad, what evil did we do in our last life? Dongyuan died young, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man...I still have to be bullied. Sometimes I don't want to live anymore..."
Ji Niang's hair was withered and white, and she had a look of despair and death on her face, as if she had been tortured into a walking corpse.
"Old woman, let's do this. If the Liu family really takes away their son's honorary badge, we will jump off the cliff together... I'm afraid that the child Dongyuan will be alone in the underworld. He has been frail since he was a child, so we will go down there to take care of her."
Father Ji smoothed his wife's messy hair with trembling and swollen hands.
"Well, old man, I've been waiting for your words for a long time...I think Dongyuan, I only have this one Miaomiao. I want to go to the underworld to make meat sauce noodles for my son."
Hearing this, Ji Niang smiled for the first time.
She smiled so contentedly.
"Dongyuan has gone, and I don't know what happened to that bad boy Zhao Chu... I heard that Zhao Chu has become a living dead. He can't see his body even when he's alive... How come these two lively little guys are so miserable after finally getting ahead?
Woolen cloth!"
"Dongyuan is fine. If he dies, it will be over... Zhao Chu, that kid, can't die or survive. This is torture."
"I really want to cook another bowl of noodles for these two brats. Dong Yuan needs to add an extra spoonful of meat sauce. Zhao Chu has a bland taste, but I need two poached eggs."
Father Ji helped his wife to the chair and murmured to himself.
"Dad, less meat sauce, two poached eggs...the noodles should be firm, just firmer!"
At this moment, a choking voice suddenly sounded.
Father Ji turned around suddenly and saw a black robe walking out of the shadows.
"You, you, you are Zhao Chu..."
Father Ji stood up suddenly, his whole body shaking as if he had been electrocuted.
Although his face was covered and he was wearing a dark robe, Father Ji could never forget that voice.
That's Zhao Chu.
Boom!
Zhao Chu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply!
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he regretted it.
If he hadn't been a good advocate and awakened the Wood Spirit Five Elements Body for Ji Dongyuan, Ji Dongyuan should have awakened three spiritual veins now, unable to join the sect and take over this noodle shop with peace of mind.
His life should be spent in shouting.
Although he won't be able to marry the goddess Liu Yueyue, he will definitely have many grandsons in the future.
No matter what Ji Dongyuan's fate was, Zhao Chu didn't feel guilty... He was the only one who felt guilty about these two elders.
In the final analysis, it was him who harmed Ji Dongyuan.
Now seeing his second elder in such a miserable old age, his anger was so intense that it could not be extinguished in a hundred years.
"It's good to be alive, my child...it's good to be alive."
Ji Niang stood up tremblingly and gently stroked Zhao Chu's cheek through the mask.
From the scars around his eyes, it was not difficult to tell that Zhao Chu's appearance had been ruined... What a handsome young man he was back then.
"Old lady, don't cry. Go and make some noodles. Remember the two poached eggs...and my half bottle of wine. Bring them too..."
Father Ji was smiling and laughing, but suddenly he cried.
"Oh, okay...I'm going to make some noodles right now..."
Ji Niang wiped away her tears and trotted to the stove.
Chop the meat, stir-fry, and make the noodles... She wiped her tears. This was the most satisfying bowl of noodles she had cooked since Ji Dongyuan's death.
Zhao Chu followed Ji Dongyuan to eat, and scenes of the two running back and forth in the lobby, making naughty jokes, and helping wash dishes and wipe tables flashed one by one.
Ji Niang was crying and suddenly laughed.
Next, the three of them sat at a simple table, with a plate of cold vegetables and a bowl of noodles... Zhao Chu devoured it, one poached egg in each mouthful.
The wind and the remaining clouds.
Zhao Chu almost licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
This bowl of noodles was his first truly full meal after traveling through time.
He was an orphan when he traveled through time, and his previous memories were blank. He seemed to have grown up inexplicably, and everyone accepted this sudden appearance of a character.
Zhao Chu's time travel has no background, he is just an orphan who doesn't have enough to eat.
After the meal, Zhao Chu looked solemn and took out the willow leaf in the Qiankun Ring for the first time.
…
The other side.
Young Master Liu Yueya hummed a ditty and returned to the Liu Mansion.
Because of the purchase of the noodle shop, he increased the price tenfold and made a huge fortune. Now Young Master Liu is proud and proud in the Liu Mansion. His cousins who usually look down on him greet him warmly.
Moreover, during this period, the Liu family expanded, and his father, Liu Erzhu, often traveled to other places. He made great contributions and was respected by people.
Snap!
Liu Yueya had just walked to her father's door when she suddenly heard the sound of porcelain being smashed inside.
"Ah... don't kill me, don't kill me... I'll give you gold coins, I'll give you gold coins... don't arrest me, I'm from Xiangfeng City, I'm not rebellious... don't chop my head off... I'm innocent
of……"
Immediately afterwards, a shrill roar resounded throughout the earth.
"Oh...Dad has a nightmare again."
"What stimulation did dad receive during this trip to the City of No Regrets?"
Liu Yueya rushed into the house quickly.
Liu Erzhu's pajamas were soaked all over, his pupils were constricted and he was trembling, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
This fat man, who weighed more than 300 kilograms, lost more than ten kilograms in a few days. His eyes were dark and he seemed to be scared out of his mind.
