Another morning, the thin fog dissipated just before the sun rose.

Repeated golden rays of light spread down from the sky, illuminating most of the locations in an alley.

The kidnapping was yesterday, and the cooking was every day.

Yi Baitang was in a good mood today, so he opened the door early, and the end of the sun swept over the lintel, zigzag up to the bar, illuminating a pair of slender hands that prevented him from being on the bar.

Compared with other shops that were busy with their feet hitting the back of their heads at breakfast time, Yi Baitang's restaurant was open for an hour and no one came in, so after repeatedly wiping the kitchen, tables and chairs to the dust, he sat leisurely behind the bar and made a small ornament, he knocked out a duck egg eggshell, drained the egg yolk and egg white inside, cut a mango and dug out the chicken's body and head, inserted a piece of hawthorn as a red mouth at the lower position of the head, and finally ordered two black eyes, and then put the chick into the eggshell, which is a chick that has just broken out of its shell.

When carving this chicken, Yi Baitang gained a kind of spiritual stability and pleasure.

Before he could continue to make farmhouse huts and lawn fences with ingredients, three people suddenly came in from the deserted shop, and the first one shouted loudly:

"Boss, let's have three bowls of ravioli!"

Yi Baitang glanced up at them.

The three people who came in, all stout men in their thirties, entered the shop with a clear goal, and immediately put together the two tables in the corner against the wall, sat down in their seats, and then looked back and forth at the contents of the shop, their eyes flickering.

Yi Baitang put down the carving knife in his hand: "You are not here to eat." ”

At this moment, the three men who looked at the shop all focused their eyes on Yi Baitang, and the one led by him slapped the table hard, stood up and snorted coldly: "You open the door to do business, we come to eat, it's not up to us to decide whether to eat or not, is it up to you to have the final say?" ”

He had a fierce face and a very loud voice, not to mention this shop, even the whole street could hear his shouting, and in an instant, the restaurant located in the corner of the alley attracted many obscure eyes, and a guest who had already walked to the front of the hotel looked at the situation in the store and hesitated, turned his steps and walked in other directions.

Yi Baitang glanced at them quietly, didn't say anything, turned around and entered the kitchen, but after a while, he came out with three bowls of wontons.

Inside the hat-like white bowl, the clear soup is the base, and nine chubby white wontons rise and fall with the water, sprinkled with a layer of finely chopped green onions and a handful of shrimp skin, and the boiling hot air comes out of the soup noodles, which looks very tempting.

When the three bowls of wontons were on the table, Yi Baitang turned his back and walked back to the bar, one of the three people sitting around the table raised his hand, and there was a dead fly in his palm.

But the person who spoke at first waved his hand to signal his companion not to be in a hurry, and stirred it in the bowl with a spoon very firmly, and sure enough, he saw that there were still contents under the white fat wonton, and pieces of boxy orange-red objects were turned out, and he immediately took a bite, and without tasting any taste, he quickly spit on the ground, and dropped the bowl with a heartfelt sigh:

"What the hell are you making, which chef will put mango cubes in the ravioli!"

In the sound of porcelain breaking, Yi Baitang was also furious:

What am I cooking? Even if you don't respect food at all, do you understand the inspiration that comes out of the chef's electric light?!

"Hmm...... What's going on here? ”

Just when the battle was about to break out, suddenly a voice came from the door, and Shang Huaiyan walked in slowly in a suit and leather shoes.

The three big men who were originally angry stopped their anger when they saw that an outsider was coming; Looking at this outsider again, it seems that he is a little difficult to mess with, and suddenly feels that today is almost the same, and he can stop fighting again in the future. So they gave each other a look, and the remaining two also smashed the wonton bowl to the ground and smashed it to a pulp, before they left the shop, and did not forget to drop a sentence: "Don't think that this is the end of the matter, I will come back to you to settle the account!" ”

Shang Huaiyan looked at the backs of these people thoughtfully, and turned to Yi Baitang: "Who are these people?" ”

"I don't know." Yi Baitang replied to the other party absentmindedly.

He looked at the debris on the ground in distress, thinking that he had to clean up again less than two hours after the store opened......

"I think they kind of like they collect protection money in this area, did they come here before to hint that you want to pay protection money?" Shang Huaiyan asked according to the usual situation, but he didn't wait for an answer for a long time, and when he took a look, he saw that he had seriously started to clean up the garbage, sweep the ground, and drag the floor over and over again, two or three times, until there was no trace of food and oil residue on the ground, and then he stopped his actions and took the garbage out and threw it away.

After throwing away the garbage, Yi Baitang did not immediately return to the store, but stood at the door of the store, looking up at the name of the store above and was silent for a long time.

Just as Shang Huaiyan was guessing whether the other party was distressed by the three people just now, Yi Baitang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Shang Huaiyan:

"You say, how about changing the name of my "Youjia Restaurant" to red braised chicken rice or Shaxian big food?"

"......" Shang Huaiyan, the topic turned ninety degrees without warning, he almost bit his tongue, "Why, why?" ”

"In this case, my business should be better, right?" Yi Baitang guessed.

"You want a better business?" Shang Huaiyan's spirits perked up, and he thought to himself that this was his strength!

"Of course." Yi Baitang said seriously, "I have a lot of material ideal methods, but there are only a few guests who come every day, and I can't fully practice my material ideal method, and I am very distressed." ”

This reason seems a bit out of the mainstream...... Shang Huaiyan felt a little strange, but he didn't think deeply, when it came to business things, he had a lot of things to say, such as location, positioning, marketing, but he first pressed these boring contents into his stomach and said to Yi Baitang:

"Let's talk while eating?"

Yi Baitang's gaze at the hotel signboard suddenly fell on Shang Huaiyan.

There was a hint of pleasure in his tone: "You haven't eaten yet?" ”

Shang Huaiyan was also happy: "Not yet." ”

It turns out that the new friend, in addition to having a good tongue, has a heart to try and a stomach that is idle most of the time!

Yi Baitang was a little secretly happy in his heart, and gave the other party a thumbs up, in order to avoid being too eager, he paused deliberately, and then nodded reservedly: "I just made wontons in the morning, you can taste them." ”

As he spoke, Yi Baitang walked into the kitchen, brought out another bowl of wontons, and put it on Shang Huaiyan's table.

Shang Huaiyan smelled the fragrance of wontons for the first time, and there was a hint of special sweetness mixed with it.

This sweet smell mixed with the aroma of wontons is like a small hook, hooking Shang Huaiyan's rare appetite.

He scooped up a wonton with a spoon, and was about to praise Yi Baitang's craftsmanship, when he saw a mango piece suddenly appear under the wonton.

There was a thunderclap in the clear sky.

Him: "......"

At this time, a pair of boyfriends and girlfriends passed by the store, and the woman said to the man, "Why is this store still open?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Notoriously dark cooking, you don't want to know what I ate last time I was here."

"What did you eat?"

"Snail fried rice."

“……”

"I ordered fried rice, and when I came up, the real snails circled around the fried rice." When the woman who spoke said this, she glanced at Shang Huaiyan sympathetically, and then entered the Shaxian snack next door with her boyfriend.

In a restaurant, Yi Baitang looked at Shang Huaiyan expectantly, urging Shang Huaiyan to eat it quickly.

Shang Huaiyan paused for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to taste a bite of mango boiled wontons.

Him: "............"

Yi Baitang endured it, endured it again, and still didn't hold back: "How does it taste?" ”

Shang Huaiyan: "Down...... It's not very tasty. "Wonton is a wonton with mango flavor, mango is a mango with salty and umami flavor, it is indeed not very delicious, but it feels very strange to eat, so people don't have the courage to taste it again, he put down the spoon without a trace, and asked Yi Baitang, "Why do you want to add mango to the wonton?" ”

Yi Baitang didn't think twice: "The mango is right in my hand." ”

So what you have on hand is what you add?! Shang Huaiyan's hand suddenly trembled.

Yi Baitang added: "And I haven't tried mango wonton pairing." ”

So you add whatever comes to mind?! Shang Huaiyan's hand shook again!

It seemed that all of a sudden, he understood why someone who was supposed to be a five-star chef appeared in a small roadside shop, and also ran a roadside shop in a dismal business.

It's just-it's horrible!

Yi Baitang continued to look at Shang Huaiyan expectantly.

He was still waiting for this good tongue to build a new dish in front of him.

Shang Huaiyan really didn't guess the idea of the mysterious person behind the counter this time, he was silent for a long time, and asked the other party a very strict question: "This store ...... Are there really any repeat customers? ”

Yi Baitang was stunned for a moment, and after being stunned for a moment, he muttered: "Well-there is." ”

Shang Huaiyan couldn't believe it.
