Chapter 132: Finding out
Xu Tongdao took the lead in walking into this beef noodle restaurant, followed by Xu Tonglin.
The man sitting at the back of the table immediately squeezed a smile on his face and stood up, "Do you want to eat beef noodles?"
"It's not ......" Xu Tonglin just said two words, but was interrupted by Xu Tongdao, "Yes!
The man's brows furrowed slightly, "The two of you just eat a bowl of beef noodles?"
Xu Tongdao smiled back, "I've eaten it, and I ordered it for my brother!"
As he spoke, he turned around and gave Xu Tonglin a look for Xu Tonglin to comprehend, Xu Tonglin originally wanted to say - I have also eaten.
He and Xu Tongdao had just come out of breakfast.
But when he received Xu Tongdao's eyes, he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and tried to squeeze out a smile.
"Oh, that's right, okay, wait a minute, I'm going to cook noodles!"
The man put down the enamel jar in his hand and went to the kitchen in the back to cook noodles, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin walked casually in the store, looking at the layout of the store.
The layout is very simple, in addition to the hall facing the street, there is a kitchen and a bathroom in the back, the bathroom and the kitchen are side by side, the area of the bathroom is relatively small, and the kitchen is not too big.
Xu Tonglin came to Xu Tongdao's side and whispered: "Xiaodao, my stomach is still full, and I can't eat it, isn't it a waste for you to order a bowl of beef noodles?
Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, "It's okay, you can just eat two bites, it's not good to ask directly!"
"Why isn't it good?" Xu Tonglin was puzzled.
Xu Tongdao was not interested in explaining to him.
Not long after, the man just now brought out a bowl of beef noodles from the kitchen, and at this time, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin had already found a table and sat down.
Seeing this bowl of noodles on the table, Xu Tonglin looked bitter.
He had a lot of food in the morning, and letting him eat another bowl at this time was not enjoyment, it was torture.
Xu Tongdao didn't care about Xu Tonglin's expression, and when the beef noodles were served, he squinted at the ...... that appeared on the noodle soup Chopped green onions, a few slices of beef, and small droplets of oil floating on the surface of the noodle soup, apparently made with soy sauce.
After only two glances, Xu Tongdao had already made a preliminary evaluation of this bowl of beef noodles in his heart.
- The green onions were cut into different sizes, the knife work was very bad, and there were several pieces of green onions that were connected together and not cut off.
- The beef is quite thick and affordable, but the thickness of the beef is also uneven, and the biggest problem is ...... These beef are not cut by the top wire, but along the texture of the beef, which belongs to the layman's cutting method! Professional chefs will not cut beef like this, because the beef cut along the texture of the shredded meat will be very easy to stuff between the teeth when eating.
- Mix the noodle soup directly with soy sauce...... When you drink it in your mouth, you will taste a very obvious taste of raw soy sauce, and it is also very layman!
- Looking at the size of the floating oil beads on the noodle soup, it should be cooked lard, and I don't see the oil beads that are obviously different in size...... This shows that only cooked lard is put in this noodle soup. I didn't put sesame oil, chili oil or anything, only a few small pieces of boiled and discolored dried chili peppers, and the taste of such a noodle soup could not be rich.
- And ...... After all, this is a small roadside shop, so when you don't pick noodles into the bowl, there is no small problem of paying attention to plating.
Xu Tonglin took the chopsticks and smiled bitterly, a little reluctant to put down the chopsticks.
Xu Tongdao looked at him, and in order to judge more accurately, he reached out and took the chopsticks in his hand, scooped up a chopstick noodle and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and tasted both the taste of the noodles and the taste of the soup.
If it's just for the sake of satisfying his stomach, he can eat such noodles.
Usually the breakfast noodles they cook are also very simple, but if they are taken out and sold for money, he can't get such noodles.
The noodles were a little too soft to cook, and they lost their tendons.
The taste of the soup is as he just judged, the taste is single, and there is an obvious taste of raw soy sauce.
Didn't even taste the pepper, apparently didn't put pepper either.
Looking at the table again, there is no aged vinegar and spicy oil for the guests to season themselves......
The man who had just greeted them returned to his position and sat behind the dining table, holding the enamel jar with the words "Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory" in both hands, and looking out at the street outside the door.
This man is obviously only in his thirties, but he sits there and slumps his shoulders, and he doesn't have much fighting spirit when he looks at it.
Xu Tongdao returned the chopsticks to Xu Tonglin, got up and walked towards the man, and took out the cigarette case in his trouser pocket as he walked.
"Boss, is this shop yours?"
Xu Tongdao walked over and handed a cigarette to the man with a smile on his face.
The man was a little surprised, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Tongdao, smiled, and took the cigarette, "Thank you! Yes, this store is mine, what's wrong?"
Xu Tongdao sat down opposite him, lit the cigarette for the other party with a lighter, and then lit one himself, "How is your business here?"
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed with a wry smile, "Alas, that's it!
Don't want to tell the truth?
Xu Tongdao smiled and didn't demolish him.
Business is best at night on this street, and restaurants like this don't need to be open during the day if business is good enough at night.
Because I was already very tired after a busy night, I needed to rest during the day, and besides, there were no people on this street during the day, and I couldn't do a few businesses during the whole day, so it was better to concentrate on only making supper.
"By the way, boss, how much is the rent of your store a year?
Xu Tongdao changed the topic.
The man was defenseless, and said casually, "The rent is very expensive, and it will be 10,000 yuan a year!"
"What do you call big brother?"
Xu Tongdao changed the topic again.
The man was still defenseless, "Didn't you look at the signboard of my store just now?" Xiao Liu beef noodles, you just call me Xiao Liu!"
Xu Tongdao: "Hehe, how can you do it? Big brother, you are much older than me, I still call you Boss Liu!"
Boss Liu smiled and nodded, "Okay! ”
Xu Tongdao's gaze moved down and landed on the enamel jar in his hand that said "Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory", "Boss Liu, you used to be from Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory?"
Xu Tongdao had heard of the fertilizer factory, which was in this county.
Boss Liu hummed, "Yes, but I didn't do it there half a year ago." ”
Xu Tongdao smiled, "And then you opened this noodle restaurant here?"
Boss Liu hummed again.
Xu Tongdao: "By the way, Boss Liu, how much is the annual rent of your store?"
Boss Liu frowned and looked Xu Tongdao up and down, "What's the matter?
Xu Tongdao nodded with a smile, "Yes, you see that there is a store next door to you that is being rented out, and my family has relatives who want to rent that storefront, so let me come here to help inquire about the rent market here." ”
Boss Liu nodded, "That's right, then I'll tell you! I have a rent of seven thousand five a year here." By the way, what kind of shop does your relative want to open here?"
