Chapter 63: The Past Is Like the Wind

"It's delicious. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," she sighed.

Although I didn't eat the little bun, I thought it must be good when I saw her satisfied.

Xiao Xiao asked Xiao Baozi while eating, "How did you find here, I didn't know that there was such a good noodle soup shop in the Imperial City." ”

The strange thing is that there are not many people in the shop for such a wonderful noodle soup.

Xiao Baozi smiled shyly, looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "If you want to eat it in the future, I can make it for you." ”

Xiao Xiao swallowed the strip and glared at the little bun, "You just went to steal the teacher?" ”

Xiao Baozi nodded, and carefully took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, the ink on it was very new, and it seemed that it had just been written.

Xiao Xiao didn't take it, she took a cursory glance, it was the steps of production.

"This is the biggest secret of a store, and you actually got it." Xiao Xiao took the last bite of noodles and said unfinished.

Xiao Baozi smiled and said, "This shop is about to close, I spent a lot of money, and the boss gave me the secret recipe." ”

"It's also strange to say," Xiao Xiao looked around again, there were still a few diners just now, and now only she and Xiao Baozi were left, and the boss was sitting in the rocking chair and dozing off, "The noodle soup is full of color and flavor, but it is so cold and unreasonable." ”

Xiao Baozi was just about to answer, when a thin and tall middle-aged man came in outside. He dresses simply, and because he doesn't have excess fat, he looks neat and fresh. The black coat on his body has been washed many times, and it is a little whitish.

He said to Xiao Xiao: "You didn't live here before, so naturally you don't know the situation. ”

A stranger suddenly snatched his words, and Xiao Baozi was speechless and withdrew the paper.

Xiao Xiao said: "I would like to hear about it. ”

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to answer, first called out to wake up the boss who was so lazy that he didn't want to do business, urged him to make a bowl of signature noodle soup, and then sat down opposite Xiao Xiao, and said while pouring water for himself, "Although the boss doesn't look outstanding, his tongue is extremely sensitive and very picky about taste." He used to be an imperial chef and was deeply loved by the emperor. ”

"Since it is the imperial kitchen of the emperor, why do you ...... now" Xiao Xiao nodded.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "This is a secret, how can we ordinary people know about this." ”

"What does that have to do with the current Menco Queluo?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Xiao Baozi answered: "Do you remember Master Huang in the imperial kitchen? ”

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember that the dishes he made tasted like a must, but he was too conservative and only knew how to keep improving, but he didn't know how to change the law and improve." ”

Xiao Baozi nodded and said, "You can also see from the bowl of noodle soup just now that this boss has his own ideas, which is completely different from the conservatives." ”

"This little brother knows a lot," the middle-aged man was stunned, and couldn't help but appreciate the little bun a little more, "In that case, I won't hide it from you." I'm an old friend of that guy, and I know his personality all too well. He was always looking for a better taste sensation, and didn't care if the dishes were too novel and outlandish, so much so that after the death of the emperor, he was ostracized by a group of conservative cooks in the imperial dining room, and was forced to leave the palace and open this small shop here...... Ay...... These are old things, don't talk about them. ”

The middle-aged man said that he didn't know before, but later he knew that Xiao Baozi knew a little bit of the relationship, so he spoke, and Xiao Xiao naturally knew what he was afraid of.

Xiao Xiao nodded, and said, "Could it be that the business is so bad now, and he is also being excluded?" ”

"It's not ......," the middle-aged man said when the boss came up with a bowl of noodles.

He lazily put the noodles down, picked up his thin blanket and went to sleep in the rocking chair. Xiao Xiao felt that he must have heard their conversation, but he could still be so frank, and his heart could be seen.

"He is too extreme, he used to use precious ingredients with him in the palace, and now he can use this small shop, where can he use it, but he has a strong temperament, even if a bowl of noodles has to use good ingredients, the selling price is an ordinary person's monthly meal money, you say, rich people will not deign to come to the small shop to eat, and the poor can't afford to eat, can this business not be deserted!"

The middle-aged man's words carried some hatred for iron and steel.

"No traitor is no business, he is a gentleman." Xiao Xiao said highly and rarely.

Xiao Baozi couldn't help but think of Bai Hua, who had to plan carefully for every penny, and nodded in agreement.

"Say so much, eat noodles quickly, it won't taste good after a long time." The middle-aged man stopped talking, but concentrated on eating noodles.

Xiao Xiao looked at his empty bowl, and then looked at the bowl full of small buns, Xiao Baozi didn't say much, and pushed his bowl in front of her, "Eat it." ”

"No, I'll order another bowl of ......," Xiao Xiao said with some embarrassment.

"It's impossible," the middle-aged man interjected, "he's sleeping now, and the gods can't wake him up." ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned and even more embarrassed, Xiao Baozi smiled gently, and gave half of the noodles to Xiao Xiao, "Then half of one person." ”

The middle-aged man sucked his face neatly, his eyes staring directly at the two people.

"You two have a really good relationship."

Xiao Xiao was choked again, she looked at the middle-aged man helplessly, and explained for the second time: "You misunderstood, I just ...... with him"

Xiao Xiao just wanted to say the word master and servant, but she felt that it was wrong, and the little bun was far from such an alienated relationship in her heart. She paused and said, "It's not like that anyway. ”

The middle-aged man was a little stunned, because the behavior of these two people was very intimate, not like they had no emotional foundation. But this is a sensitive matter, and it is inconvenient for me to keep asking, "I see...... By the way, in Xia Tang Li, dare to ask the two honorable names? ”

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi glanced at each other, and Xiao Xiao said, "You can call me Xiao Xiao." ”

"Xiao Xiao? Xiao Xiao Xiao who is crying in the leaves? Tang Li asked.

Xiao Xiao nodded, and at the same time helped Xiao Baozi to introduce: "This is Xiao Baozi." ”

Tang Li showed a puzzled expression, "Why can't the two of you tell each other your real names?" ”

Xiao Xiao smiled: "This is indeed the real name. ”

Tang Li looked at Xiao Xiao incredulously, and then looked at the calm little buns, and saw that they didn't look like they were lying, so he sighed: "It's so random to choose a name now!" ”

Xiao Xiao chatted with Xiao Baozi and Tang Li again before leaving. Xiao Baozi walked on the road and suddenly said to Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao mourns the passing of the wind, and the cold waves are faint." It's fitting to think about it that way. ”
