Chapter 91 Stealing a Child

The two came to the city. Seeing that it was still early, they went straight to the shopkeeper Chen's noodle shop. When the clerk at the door saw them, he smiled and said, "Our shopkeeper just said, let me come out to welcome them, but I happened to meet them."

Xu Xinger was happy to see this. I guess the radish strips were selling well, otherwise the shopkeeper Chen would not have been so anxious to wait for her to come.

Sure enough, the man immediately said, "The radish strips and pickles have been sold out. Someone came to eat noodles in the morning and asked."

Entering the noodle restaurant, shopkeeper Chen first gave Xu Xinger the money for half a jar of radish strips, and then asked her if she could leave more today.

Xu Xinger specially brought more pickles today, leaving a jar for Manager Chen, and said that she would send two more jars tomorrow before leaving with Shanzi.

With such a good start, Xu Xinger's mood became better and better. When selling pickles at noon, her mouth was much sweeter than usual, which made several old customers couldn't help joking: "Oh, Miss Xing'er picked up silver today?"

"It's a nice day today, and everyone is taking care of the business. Naturally, I'm happy." Xu Xinger shuttled between the tables of various stalls with a smile.

Maybe it's true that a smile can attract business. Today's pickles sell much faster than usual, and they ended their jobs early.

Xu Xinger counted the copper coins and said happily, "Brother Shanzi, let's go back after dinner in the city today. I'll treat you to something."

Shanzi thought for a moment and didn't refuse. He nodded and said, "After dinner, accompany me to walk around the street. I have something to do."

"Good!" Xu Xinger looked around and said uncertainly, "Where are we going to eat?"

"Why don't you go to Mr. Chen's noodle restaurant? The fried sauce noodles I ate at his house before were delicious." Shanzi suggested.

"Oh, it's hard for me to invite you to dinner, and you nerd don't know how to choose an expensive place." Xu Xinger said this, but her eyes narrowed.

Shanzi stretched out his hand and rubbed Xu Xinger's head and said with a smile, "When I don't know your money fan?"

"Cut, I'm addicted to money, but I'm not stingy." Xu Xinger's eyes widened and said, "It's just that we are not rich now. We need to use the money in the right place. Besides, we just got into a relationship with Manager Chen, and it's good to walk around more."

"Well, that's right." As long as it does not involve the issue of principle, Shanzi has always agreed with what Xu Xinger said.

Shopkeeper Chen's noodle restaurant is doing well. He has eaten a little, but there are still many people eating noodles in the store, and there is not even an empty table. When the clerk saw them coming in, he hurried forward and said, "Are you here to find our shopkeeper?"

"Don't bother Shopkeeper Chen. We're just here to eat noodles." Xu Xinger looked around the store and saw that there was only one person sitting at a table in the corner, so she came forward to ask if she could share the table.

The man looked up at Xu Xinger and Shanzi, did not agree or disagree, but moved his bowl forward.

Xu Xinger saw that the other party meant to promise, so she moved the things in the two back baskets into her own baskets, put them against the corner of the wall, and stacked the back baskets of the mountain in, so as to press the things underneath to avoid being accidentally stolen.

When sitting down, Xu Xinger was more careful. She pretended to move the bench inadvertently and put it into the back basket strap with her stool legs. Then she sat down and said to the clerk at ease: "Two large bowls of noodles with fried sauce, diced meat sauce is on it alone, and the size of cucumber shredded cucumber and corius, and a garlic clove."

The clerk wiped the table with the towel on his shoulder and said with a smile, "You girl, you don't have a big appetite. Can you eat a big bowl?"

"How can you do business like this? Don't make money?" Xu Xinger joked with him, "Tell your shopkeeper later and quickly send you away."

"Hey, don't you think I'm talkative!" Naturally, the clerk didn't take it seriously. He walked to the door of the dish, lifted the curtain and shouted back, "Two bowls of noodles with soybean paste and a bowl of diced meat sauce!"

After he came to the counter, he took a large plate, picked up cucumber shreds and coriander, and grabbed a large handful of garlic, which was naturally much more than giving to others. He brought it to the table and said, "You sit down first, and the noodles will be ready for a while. You can pick up whatever you eat."

"Thank you very much." Xu Xinger motioned Shanzi to look at the things and took the opportunity to pickles to take a good look at the pickles in the store.

The noodle restaurant is not too big. It is divided into two floors. The side of the stairs is a separate counter, and when the counter comes back is the door for serving food.

There are many wine jars on the shelf behind the counter. In front of the counter, a small table the size of a table is placed with more than a dozen large bowls, which contain all kinds of pickles. At the end is a pile of plates about the size of her palm, which are used for pickles.

As soon as the clerk greeted the guests at another table and came to call for food, he stuffed a bowl to Xu Xinger and said, "The shopkeeper said that you can pick up what you want to eat. You're welcome."

"Then thank you, Manager Chen." Xu Xinger's eyes swept over the table and saw that the types of pickles were basically the same as those sold by Xiaomei, such as ground screws, mustard heads, sour beans, old vinegar peanuts and so on.

There are only two bowls of difference. One bowl seems to be homemade chili sauce. I don't know what's added. It looks red and tastes like. The other bowl is pickled garlic, but it is different from the pickled garlic that Xu Xinger has eaten in her previous life. It is not the white translucent shape, but black, and there is no vinegar smell of Laba garlic. I don't know how to make it.

She clipped a little bit of everything and planned to taste it. According to her and Shanzi's likes, she filled with more ground screws and old vinegar peanuts,

As soon as I got back to the table and sat down, two large bowls of noodles were served. Mr. Chen's noodles were very practical. The two bowls of noodles were placed in front of the two children, which looked really spectacular.

The man said with a smile, "I'm afraid this bowl of noodles is bigger than your stomach, but don't be spoiled." With that, he put down another bowl of fragrant meat sauce.

The dark brown sauce is dotted with silky egg flowers, and there is a layer of crystal oil on it. The bean paste and diced meat in the sauce are clearly visible, and people can't help drooling just by looking at it.

Xu Xinger asked the clerk for two bowls, picked some noodles, mixed them with sauce and noodles, ate a big bite of garlic cloves, and then picked up the thumbs up at the clerk and said, "Chen's cabinet's craftsmanship is really nothing to say!"

"That's natural!" The clerk said proudly, "So many guests are all for the craftsmanship of our shopkeeper."

As he was saying this, another guest came in. The clerk greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "What would you like to eat?"

Xu Xinger finished eating the noodles in the bowl and put them on her stomach, picked some noodles, mixed them with spicy sauce and tasted them. After only one bite, she stuck out her tongue, picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip. Then she whispered, "It's spicy enough, but it's not fragrant enough."

Seeing that her spicy eyes were a little red, Shanzi quickly poured her another cup of tea. "If it's too spicy, don't eat it."

"It's okay." Xu Xinger was also unprepared just now. She didn't expect it to be so spicy, but she thought so. If it's not spicy, how much should be done to eat. "I just add some more noodles."

She tried every kind of pickles, which has its own length as pickled with Xiaomei, but she couldn't pick out which one is special.

She only picked one clove of garlic, took a bite and threw it away and refused to eat it.

This garlic clove should be marinated with soy sauce. Maybe there are some peppers in the soup. Because it tastes like raw peppers, it tastes salty but not delicious, but it is estimated that it will be more suitable for storage.

I ate it all and knew it in my heart. Xu Xinger wanted to go to the market next time and buy peppers. Maybe she could make some more spicy sauce to try. As for garlic, the local garlic should be collected in a few days. Maybe she can buy some and try it. Whether she can sell it or not, she is really a little greedy for sugar. The taste of garlic.

Xu Xinger ate while thinking about things. After eating only half of the noodles, she felt full. She looked up and saw that Shanzi's noodles were about to eat. She pushed her noodle bowl forward and said, "Well, I knew that a bowl is definitely not enough. Eat all of these. The noodles are not hungry."

Shanzi was not polite to her. It seemed that she had already known that half of the bowl of noodles was for her. She picked it up and poured it into the bowl, poured the remaining meat sauce and noodles into the bowl, stirred it hard with chopsticks, and continued to eat.

Xu Xinger continued to pull her little Jiujiu and calculated how much money she had at hand and where it should be used.

After eating, Shanzi got up and paid the money, and sat back to refill the tea for both of them. While drinking tea, he watched Xu Xinger draw something on the table with her fingers. He still said words, but his voice was too low to hear what he was saying at all.

Just now, Shanzi went to pay and came back. He saw that the table had changed into two and a half sizes. The two of them only bought a bowl of noodles, asked for a bowl of raw sauce, gathered in a bowl, and ate without raising their heads but snoring.

The younger one, when he first sat down, looked at the meat sauce in the mountain bowl and swallowed his saliva. At this time, he also ate too much to look up. It seemed that he would eat less if he was a little distracted.

Xu Xinger is still calculating the recent earnings and expected expenditure, and does not find that the people around her have been changed.

Shanzi was not in a hurry to drink tea, but he was already vigilant, because it was past lunch time, and there were some empty seats in the store, which were not as crowded as when they first came. After entering the store, the two people sat in this corner, which made people wonder.

Two people shared a bowl of noodles and soon ate it. The young man didn't seem to have enough to eat. He also drank all the remaining soup mixed with sauce at the bottom of the bowl, and then licked his lips endlessly.

The old man stretched out his hand and patted him on the back of the head, counted out fifteen copper coins for him, and scolded, "A poor look, gave the money and left quickly."

Xu Xinger was shocked by this sound and looked up. Before she could see the person clearly, she felt that the stool under her buttocks was vigorously pulled away and fell back uncontrollably.

Shanzi has been on guard for a long time. He raised his foot and stepped on the stool and reached out to catch Xu Xinger.

Xu Xinger half raised her body and saw the chagrin on the opposite boy's face and holding a back basket strap in her hand. Then she realized that there were really people grabbing things while eating. Before, she only heard Xu Laosan say that she really met her.

The stool was trampled on by the mountain, and the basket belt was still hanging on the leg of the stool. The boy seemed to be a little unwilling and pulled it hard again.

Xu Xinger's anger came up, picked up the noodle bowl, spilled the leftover noodle soup on the man's face, and cursed, "Are you still shameless? Are there natural hooks on the claws? You have to go out for a meal and go out with something. Is that what your mother taught you?

The people in the store were shocked and looked this way. The clerk also came over quickly and took a glance to see what was going on. He raised his hand and slapped the man in the face and scolded, "Little bastard, did you steal something here? You don't go out to inquire about whose boundary is in Qijing Hutong. If you let Master Han know, you don't know how you died!"

A man eating noodles next to him laughed and said, "Master Han doesn't have time to care about this kind of miscellaneous thing. The people under him can make him understand what life is better than death."

The boy's hand had released the basket belt, and his face was pale, as if he had been scared out of these words.
