Beloved Concubine

Chapter 25
Hearing "knife sliced ​​noodles", Fang Yu asked: "Who came again from the day before yesterday?"

"No. The ones the day before yesterday belonged to the Qingfeng Company, and the ones today belong to the Sheng'an Company."

Fang Yu said with a sullen face, "Tell him, no."

Little Shitou hurriedly said, "Brother Fang, they really came to eat the sliced ​​noodles, not looking for trouble. I made it clear to them that a bowl costs fifty cents, and they agreed."

Fang Yu sat still.

Chen Xiaodao: "Just go and cut it! It's not too difficult."

Fang Yu looked at her, stood up reluctantly, and asked Xiao Shitou, "How many bowls do they want?"

"Six bowls."

Fang Yu was about to knead the dough, but Chen Xiao stepped into the kitchen first.

Rice noodles and noodles are prepared in the backyard and brought to the front. Because few people eat noodles, the dough has to be kneaded.

Chen Xiao met, Fang Yu stood aside, and said:

"I'll write a piece of paper and paste it on the wall of the store in a while, and a bowl of sliced ​​noodles costs [-] Wen."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "We have become a veritable black shop."

"Isn't it worth two hundred Wen? You knead the dough yourself, and I peel it myself. The two hundred Wen is less."

Chen Xiao knew he was joking, and said, "It seems that some people here eat sliced ​​noodles, so let's sell sliced ​​noodles."

"Not for sale, I don't want to cut noodles every day."

"You can teach Chunhong and Xiao Shitou, and if you teach them, you won't need to cut them."

"Heh, do you think anyone can learn this?" Fang Yu snorted.

"Is it difficult? I can do it too, it's just that I can't cut it well."

Kneading noodles is kneaded for kneading noodles from the time of kneading dough.After kneading, knead for half an hour, and then knead again every ten minutes until it is evenly kneaded, soft and smooth.If the dough is not kneaded well, it is easy to stick to the knife and break when cutting the noodles.When chopping noodles, instead of using a kitchen knife, a special curved knife is used.

Fang Yu's strength lies in the fact that he doesn't knead the dough well and he uses a kitchen knife, but he can cut long and wide strips with uniform thickness.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "You will come."

Chen Xiao stopped and looked at him.

"When I practice, I won't need you anymore."

There was sullenness in her tone.She hates being choked up.

"You still need me!" Fang Yu said with a smile.

He didn't pay attention, and Chen Xiao's face darkened at this moment.

She bowed her head to knead the dough, looking as if she was trying hard to knead the dough, with a serious expression.In fact, she was unhappy.

After kneading the dough, Fang Yu took it to the shop in front to cut the noodles.Chen Xiao didn't go with her, she went back to her room.

Going back to the room, closing the door, Chen Xiao flashed into the space.

She turned on the computer and searched in the database: the technical essentials of sliced ​​noodles.

Before crossing, she made a database with more than 500 TB.Because it was downloaded automatically by a software program, she didn't even know she had something.

In the store, Fang Yu cut noodles.

He held the noodles in his left hand and the knife in his right, facing the soup pot, cha, cha, cha.With one knife and one knife, the peeled leaves are like jumping white fish, one after another, drawing an arc-shaped white line in the air, vying to fall into the pot.

"Excellent knife skills!"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stood in front of Fang Yu and watched him shave his face, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you from Xiling?" the boy asked.

"No."

"Where did you learn this craft?"

"self-taught."

"Come to our restaurant! Your knife skills are better than those of our Xiling masters."

Little Stone came forward and said:
"Brother Xiang, he is our boss, how could he go to your restaurant."

"How much money does this shop earn a month?"

The boy named Brother Xiang asked, but his tone contained contempt for this small shop.

"One month..." Xiao Shitou did some calculations and said, "We have opened for less than a month, but we can earn more than two taels of silver per day on average."

He was exaggerating a bit.More than two taels of silver, it was just yesterday to go to the market.In the first two days of not going to the market, I lost money every day, so I didn't make any money.

"How many people are there in your store?" Brother Xiang asked.

"Four."

"Over a month, the average is 15 taels per person." Brother Xiang turned to Fang Yu and said, "You come to our restaurant, and I will give you 20 taels a month."

Fang Yu sneered.

Little Shitou said: "Why does my boss only have 15 taels, and all the money he earns belongs to him."

Brother Xiang said: "He came to our restaurant, and your restaurant is still open. Wouldn't it be good to earn an extra 20 taels a month?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yu's mouth, but he didn't say anything.

He cut the noodles, looked at the cooking, took out the pair of small stones and said, "You can do it next." Then he walked out of the stove, ready to go back to the backyard.

"Think about it, Ruyilou is the best restaurant in the city, and the wages of 20 taels are not low!" Brother Xiang shouted at Fang Yu's back.

Fang Yu waved his hand: "I know nothing but chopping noodles." He left straight away.

Xiao Shitou added the soup and asked the six people what toppings they would like?
Among the six people, except for one who came the day before yesterday, the other five came here for the first time.

Xiao Shitou introduced the four toppings and self-made condiments on the seasoning table.

Seeing the toppings in the bowl, a teenager said:

"Little Shitou, you are all your own, can't you give me more meat?"

Xiao Shitou said with a smile: "The owner stipulates that there are four pieces of meat in each bowl. If you think it is not enough, you can add it for ten yuan a piece."

"Even counting the pieces of meat in each bowl, who is your boss!"

Xiao Shitou showed a naive smile, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Brother Xiang said, "Taste how it tastes first."

The entrance of the sliced ​​noodles is smooth and chewy; the braised pork topping is fat but not greasy, with a strong fragrance; a sip of the soup is delicious and mellow.Plus leeks, fragrant willow, ginger and other unique ingredients of the South Vietnamese.

For this bowl of noodles, Brother Xiang thinks fifty cents is worth it!
Brother Xiang said to Xiao Shitou: "Talk to your boss, sell us the recipe of this topping and soup, the amount can be negotiated."

"This..." Xiaoshi scratched his head.

"how?"

"I don't think the owner will sell it. If we sell the formula, what are we selling?"

Brother Xiang smiled and said, "You can still sell it. The guests who go to Ruyi Building are different from the guests who come here. You sell yours, we sell ours."

Xiao Shitou scratched his head and smiled, "Oh! If that's the case, I'll tell my boss."

Several people left after eating their noodles.

Small stones write on the wooden board: sliced ​​noodles, six.

Because the price is different, so write it down separately.Otherwise, the count of money at night will not be available.

Fang Yu came to the backyard, but did not see Chen Xiao.He asked Chunhong, and Chunhong said she had gone back to her room.

Only then did he realize belatedly that Chen Xiao must have been angry just now.

After getting along during this time, they joked from time to time, and their relationship was harmonious and very good.Unexpectedly, because of one sentence, she became angry again.

Fang Yu gradually understood this little woman.She is stubborn, strong, and sensitive.She is better at disguising, pretending to be open-minded.

She is indeed open-minded, but only in ordinary matters.There are some things that she cares about in her heart.

Fang Yu walked to the door of Chen Xiao's room and knocked on the door, but there was no movement.

He didn't feel a heartbeat in the room, so he guessed that she must have entered the black stone.

So I went back to my room, closed the door, and meditated.
