Rebirth: Life Optimization Panel

Chapter 125 I just don't know what kind of boil it is
On November 6, the weather was fine.

The two met in Times Square as usual.

When Han Jing came here, she carried a handbag. Jiang Chengwen glanced at it and asked, "What did you bring?"

Han Jing raised her head and said, "I won't tell you."

Jiang Chengwen snorted, spread his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't tell me, I'm not curious."

"Eat powder, eat powder!"

The two walked towards Uncle Li's noodle shop.

When approaching the door, Han Jing raised her head to take a look, but was taken aback for a moment.

The shop next to Uncle Li's noodle shop was still under renovation when he came last time, but now it has been renovated.

There is a signboard on the storefront - [Xiao Song Noodle House]

Han Jing turned to look at Jiang Chengwen, and said, "You said last time that this is a noodle shop, right?"

Jiang Chengwen nodded and said, "Yes."

"It's really what you said."

Han Jing was a little surprised, and said, "It's right next to Uncle Li's noodle shop, so it won't lose a lot of business."

Jiang Chengwen looked at the [Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant], but didn't say much, but he had already thought of a possibility in his heart.

"Let's go, eat noodles."

The two walked into Uncle Li's noodle shop.

But he saw Uncle Li sitting in a corner of the noodle shop, with a somewhat sad expression on his face.

"Uncle Li!" Han Jing greeted.

Uncle Li came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "Oh, here we come, sit down quickly."

Uncle Li got up and walked over, calling the two of them to sit down.

"Still the same?"

"Yes, two bowls of mutton powder."

"Success, wait."

After speaking, Uncle Li went to cook the noodles.

Sitting next to Han Jing, Jiang Chengwen turned his head to take a look, but saw that the business in the noodle shop was much less today.

"There are a lot fewer customers." Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing said: "It's probably because of the newly opened noodle restaurant next door, but with Uncle Li's craftsmanship, the next door should not be able to do it, and you will know after a long time."

Jiang Chengwen said, "Not necessarily..."

"I said Gouzi, which side are you on?" Han Jing asked.

Jiang Chengwen said: "Of course I am on Uncle Li's side, but the situation may be worse than we imagined."

Han Jing blinked, a little puzzled.

Jiang Chengwen said: "There was something wrong with Uncle Li when we came last time. If it was just because a noodle shop opened next door, a cheerful person like Uncle Li would not be so sad."

"Do you remember the apprentice in Uncle Li's shop?" Jiang Chengwen asked.

Han Jing said, "Just the one before?"

"Yes." Jiang Chengwen said: "If I remember correctly, Uncle Li called that little apprentice before, but he always called Xiao Song, and the signboard of the noodle restaurant next to him is Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant."

"You mean..."

Han Jing was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and said, "The apprentice starved to death, the master?"

Jiang Chengwen nodded and said, "It's possible."

Han Jing frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

"How can there be such a reason!"

Jiang Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We'll find out after we finish eating in a while."

After a while, Uncle Li brought up the mutton powder.

"The powder is here."

Uncle Li still greeted him with a smile, but he could tell at a glance that his smile was a little far-fetched, and he was still smiling with something hidden in his heart.

This is the inner stubbornness of people like them.

The two started eating noodles without asking about it.

Uncle Li didn't sit down and chat like before, but went back to his old position to sit down.

Jiang Chengwen said, "Let's eat."

"Um……"

Han Jing nodded, and then started to eat the noodles, but she was a little absent-minded, and didn't eat much.

It was almost time to eat, Jiang Chengwen called Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, pay the bill!"

"I'm coming."

Uncle Li came forward, wiped his hands, took Jiang Chengwen's money, and gave change.

He glanced at the noodle bowl and said, "Isn't it delicious today? Didn't finish it?"

Han Jing shook her head and said, "Without Uncle Li, I don't have a good appetite today, it's not that your cooking is not delicious."

Uncle Li said: "Hey, if it doesn't taste good, tell me. I'll just make you a new bowl. We're old friends, so there's nothing embarrassing about it."

"It's really not bad. Uncle Li, don't you know your cooking skills? How can it be bad?"

"What you said..."

Uncle Li smiled and said, "If you like to eat, just come here often."

"to make."

Han Jing and Jiang Chengwen stood up and said, "Then let's leave Uncle Li first."

"Okay, come again next time."

Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing got up and walked out of the noodle shop.

Uncle Li gave it away.

After Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing circled around, when Uncle Li entered the noodle shop, they circled back again.

The two stopped in front of [Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant], looked at each other and walked in.

There are quite a few people in the noodle restaurant, which is no different from Uncle Li.

Before the two sat down, a man in his 30s wearing an apron came over.

The man said, "What would you like to eat? There is a menu on the wall."

Jiang Chengwen raised his head and took a look, and saw that the menu was not much different from that at Uncle Li's next door.

Small noodles, pea noodles, mutton noodles, fatty sausage noodles...

What Uncle Li has there, we have it here, and it's a dollar down.

"Two bowls of mutton noodles." Jiang Chengwen said.

"Alright, wait a moment, both of you."

After the man wrote it down, he went to the back kitchen.

Han Jing looked away from the menu and said, "Their noodles are one yuan less than Uncle Li's."

"All dropped by one piece."

"Ah."

Jiang Chengwen frowned and said, "It seems to have been copied directly."

"Wait until the powder comes up and try it."

The two sat and waited for a while, and after a while, the man before came over with mutton powder.

"This is the first time for the two of you."

The man looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Our mutton powder is the most distinctive, you two can try it."

"it is good."

Jiang Chengwen smiled warmly, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

The same is true for Han Jing.

However, Han Jing was stunned after taking a sip.

'This taste...'
It's exactly the same as Uncle Li's.

Han Jing looked down at the powder in the bowl, then raised her head to look at Jiang Chengwen.

Jiang Chengwen also tasted it, and gave Han Jing a wink, telling her not to speak yet.

"It tastes good."

Jiang Chengwen looked at the man beside him, and asked, "I've been here many times before, and I've never seen your store before. Is this a new one?"

"Yes, it's only been open for a while." The man smiled.

"I said."

Jiang Chengwen said with a smile: "Boss, your skills are indeed good. Mutton powder is indeed a specialty."

The man waved his hand and said: "No, no, the noodles are cooked by the chef in the shop, how can I have this ability."

"Is that so... Then this master's craftsmanship is really good."

"That's right." The boss smiled.

Jiang Chengwen smiled, but changed his voice and said, "I said boss, can we discuss it?"

"What?" asked the boss.

Jiang Chengwen said: "I seldom come out, but the taste of your powder is really good. Can you let the master teach me, and I don't need to teach it all. Just make a rough taste. I will cook it at home and eat it myself. "

"This……"

The boss said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to be exactly the same."

Jiang Chengwen waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just make a rough taste and let the master teach me how to do it."

The boss smiled and said: "I can't say for sure, the master is willing to teach. In this case, I will call him out, you can ask."

"Then trouble the boss."

"Small idea."

The boss stepped into the back kitchen.

Han Jing looked at Jiang Chengwen and asked, "Could it be Uncle Li's apprentice?"

"I'll know as soon as we meet," Jiang Chengwen said.

The boss led the noodle cooker out of the shop.

When I was in the back kitchen, I specially told him to teach him an almost method, so that he would not only show his generosity, but also retain customers.

Xiao Song followed the boss out, but when he saw the two people sitting on the table, he was taken aback for a moment.

The boss said: "This is the little brother, he wants to learn from you."

Xiao Song looked at Jiang Chengwen and couldn't help smacking his lips.

Of course he recognized it.

Han Jing looked at Xiao Song and couldn't help frowning.

It really is!
Jiang Chengwen remained calm, turned to look at the boss and said, "This master is so young?"

The boss patted Xiao Song on the shoulder and said, "Although the masters in our shop are a little younger, their skills are not bad at all."

"That's true."

Jiang Chengwen said: "I have such a big mouth, I think he is delicious, the master is really good at cooking."

Xiao Song didn't understand why Jiang Chengwen pretended not to know him.

But he still answered honestly: "Okay, just eat it."

"It's not so delicious."

Jiang Chengwen looked at him and said: "The craftsmanship is really good. I think you are so young, master. You should have learned from other masters. I don't know who it is. Can you tell me? I want to visit a bit."

"I……"

Xiao Song opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.

Anyway, he still has some self-esteem, and he is not ashamed to answer Jiang Chengwen's words.

The boss at the side smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not good?"

"what."

Jiang Chengwen said: "That's true. I was the one who was abrupt. It really can't be said. If you say it, you won't be able to do business."

He looked at Xiao Song and said, "You mean it, little master?"

Xiao Song looked at him, and when he saw Jiang Chengwen's gaze, he didn't even dare to look at him.

Can't say...

Xiao Song answered vaguely: "Yes."

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Chengwen again.

Jiang Chengwen changed his voice, and said: "The master who taught you is really skilled, otherwise the little master would not be able to learn so well. It seems that he has taught you everything. It is not easy to meet a noble person these days. Little master But you have to grasp it and learn more, so that the noodle shop is booming and the boss is also happy, right?"

The boss laughed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you for your good words."

The boss couldn't understand, but Xiao Song's heart was like a mirror, he lowered his head and didn't dare to lift it up, and he didn't even dare to agree.

Han Jing raised her head and glanced at Xiao Song, and said, "Why is the little master keeping his head down?"

Xiao Song didn't speak, but the boss beside him patted him and said, "Back is straight!"

"Ah good."

Xiao Song raised his head, and when two eyes fell on him, he felt extremely ashamed and ashamed.

"That's right."

Han Jing said: "You have to hold your head up to be a human being. It's like doing something wrong with your head down."

These words pierced deeply into Xiao Song's heart like a knife.

Xiao Song gritted his teeth, looked at the boss beside him and said, "Boss, my back kitchen is still cooking soup, I, I'll go in first."

"Hey, this..." the boss said, "No one has asked yet."

"nothing."

Jiang Chengwen said: "If the little master is busy, he should do it first. It's the same to ask after finishing it later."

"This is so bad..." The boss laughed.

"nothing."

Jiang Chengwen said, looked at Xiao Song and said: "When everyone is busy, cooking soup is also very particular. Some soups, don't worry if you don't stare at them, but some soups, don't stare at them..."

"He's broken!"

Xiao Song was startled again when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Chengwen continued: "However, some soups that are broken may be able to be repaired, while others are completely bad. I just don't know what kind of soup the little master cooks."

He looked at Xiao Song, but Xiao Song didn't dare to look at him.

Xiao Song didn't want to stay any longer, turned to look at the boss and said, "...I'll go in first."

"Hey, you..."

Seeing that Xiao Song didn't say anything, the boss passed him and headed towards the back kitchen.

He looked at the two guests and said, "I'm really sorry."

"nothing."

Jiang Chengwen smiled, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said, "I've almost eaten enough."

"what?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the table, the powder in the bowl hadn't moved a few.

"Don't eat this?"

"Well, it's a little urgent, come to eat next time."

Jiang Chengwen took out the money, handed it to the boss, and said, "Get some change."

……

The door of the noodle shop.

The boss watched the two people drift away, and then looked down at the face in his hands.

He couldn't help wrinkling, thinking that these two people were really strange.

"Didn't you say learn how to make noodles?"

The boss shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and turned back to the noodle shop.
