Chapter 22 Old Man Fang
In the early morning of the next day, the bun shop of Youran Farm was still busy, with a long queue outside, and the six tables in the store's business area were full, and the old people were either greeting each other and chatting, or burying their heads in enjoying breakfast, with admiration, laughter, and disputes one after another, and it was very lively. Zhao Cuihua shuttled back and forth on the aisle, cleaning up the plates, and passing fresh buns and soy milk to the table, very busy.
In the kitchen, Feng Daniu, who was wearing a chef's uniform, was mixing noodles, which was very suitable for him with great strength, and the kneaded dough was evenly soft and elastic. Next to him, Uncle Qi chopped the stuffing on the operation board, and Sun Xiaoying concentrated on mixing the filling. Coupled with Li Youran at the counter, Aunt Qi and Qi Song at the takeaway place, the manpower still seems quite tight.
The shelves in the kitchen are neatly stacked Chapter 22 Old man Fang put a few rows of jade-white jade-like cabbage, every night, Li Youran took out the cabbage from the space when there was no one in the kitchen, put it on the shelves, and filled the two large water tanks with space stream water. And the staff in the store stated that the Chinese cabbage was purchased from a special channel, which is a trade secret and is strictly forbidden to be disseminated. Although Aunt Qi and the others are very curious about this, these people have a common advantage, that is, they understand that there are some things that they shouldn't know, so don't ask around. So far, no matter what people with ulterior motives want to break through, they can't find the cabbage purchase channel of the bun shop, and they waste their scheming in vain.
At about nine o'clock, an old man dressed in Tang costume walked slowly at the entrance of Shigu Lane, with gray hair, a clear face, and blazing eyes, but he naturally exuded an elegant atmosphere. In his left hand, he was on a blackwood dragon head crutch, and his waist was still straight. Accompanying him was a woman in her thirties who looked like a nanny, and she wanted to reach out to support the old man's right hand several times, but was refused.
The old man looked into the street, saw the signboard of the bun shop in the leisurely farm and the long queue outside the door, his face was happy, and he said:
"That's right, this is it. Lao Hao and a few of their old guys all said that the buns here are authentic, and I have to try them. ”
"Old Man Fang, what do you want to eat Chapter 22 Old Man Fang, I'll buy it and go home, why do you need to come in person? What if you fall? The woman grumbled.
"Xiao Zhang, like them, you think I'm old and useless? Hmph, I'm not old enough to lie in bed and wait for someone to serve me every day! Old Man Fang raised his voice and said.
Xiao Zhang saw that the old man was a little angry, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to follow the old man Fang, cross the road, and walk towards the bun shop.
The two came to the door of the bun shop, and Zhao Cuihua quickly opened the door when she saw this, and said loudly: "Old man, welcome." ”
The old man looked up at the sign, nodded, and then walked into the store with Xiao Zhang.
There were no empty seats in the lobby of the store, but when the customers saw the new old man, they moved each other very kindly, making room for the old man, and Xiao Zhang had to stand behind the old man.
"Business is really good here." Old Man Fang said.
"Hehe, brother, you're here for the first time, right?" An old man with a white goatee at the same table greeted with a smile.
Old Man Fang nodded.
"No wonder, let me tell you, don't look at this bun shop has not been open for a long time, but it is already the hottest restaurant on our street. See the long queue outside? Boss Li was considerate of us old people and only let us come in for dinner. Hehe, Boss Li is really good, the people are good, and the craftsmanship is not to be said. The old man with the goatee praised again and again.
"Oh, this boss's surname is Li?" Old Man Fang asked with interest.
"Oh, it's the guy on the counter, his name is Li Youran, and the signboard of the store is his name."
Old Man Fang looked up at the counter and was obviously a little surprised when he saw Li Youran who was busy.
"Hehe, don't look at people's youth, but I have the ability, I have eaten pasta all my life, and the buns here are the most authentic. By the way, brother, you haven't ordered anything yet, let me tell you, this store currently has the best taste of steamed buns, soy milk, rice porridge, cold dishes or something, but they said that new varieties will come out in a few days. ”
The old man with the goatee said this, turned his head to the counter and shouted:
"Shopkeeper! Four steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk. ”
In the face of the self-assertion of the same table, Old Man Fang did not care, and looked at the layout of the store with great interest. Although the interior decoration of the store is very simple, it is better to be clean and tidy, and the windows are bright and clean. The rich aroma of food fills the air and is mouth-watering.
"Okay, four buns, a bowl of soy milk." Li Youran responded.
Soon, Zhao Cuihua brought a plate of steaming steamed buns and a bowl of soybean milk as colored as mutton fat to the table.
Old Man Fang took a closer look, then picked up a bun with chopsticks, took a bite, tasted it carefully with half-squinted eyes, and then nodded again and again.
"Well, it's fresh and refreshing, and it melts in your mouth. It's extraordinary. ”
The old man with the goatee also looked at Old Man Fang with a smile, and the reaction of this new diner was already expected.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. Leisurely Farmstead, good, good. Old Man Fang ate a few bites of steamed buns, took another sip of soy milk, and praised him repeatedly.
Hearing this, Li Youran looked up at Old Man Fang, and intuitively felt that this old man had an extraordinary bearing. Li Youran turned around and walked out of the counter and came to Old Man Fang.
"Old man, it's polite. The things in the small shop are still appetizing, right? Li Youran bowed his hand to greeting according to the ancient etiquette.
Old Man Fang had a good impression of this humble and polite young man, and said with a smile:
"You are the shopkeeper Li, young and promising, good, good."
Li Youran glanced at it, saw the crutches hanging on the back of the chair, and knew it, so he said:
"Old man, the soybean milk in our store is made of natural spring water grinding, plus a small amount of special odorless Chinese herbal medicines, which has a certain auxiliary effect on the meridian dredging of the elderly." In fact, the soy milk production in the store not only uses space stream water, but Li Youran also specially added a little space stalactite water to it. Although the price is as high as 5 yuan a bowl, it is still very popular with customers.
"Oh, no wonder this soy milk is sweet and clear, the bean flavor is pleasant, rare, rare." Old Man Fang picked up the bowl and took another big sip, squinting at the taste, and nodded again and again.
Xiao Zhang, who was standing behind the old man, watched intently at Old Man Fang's appetite, and actually ate four steamed buns in a row, drank the whole bowl of soy milk, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise, you know, this is almost equivalent to the usual amount of Old Man Fang's two breakfasts.
Old Man Fang wiped the corners of his mouth with the napkin handed by Xiao Zhang with satisfaction, and motioned for Xiao Zhang to settle the bill. Then he said hello to the old man with a goatee, took off his crutches, and got up.
"Boss Li, our old man is leaving, this trip is really not in vain." Old Man Fang said to Li Youran.
Li Youran hurriedly opened the door of the glass shop and helped the old man out. Old Man Fang did not refuse this time.
"Old Man Fang, you can just call me Xiao Li. We will add new varieties in a few days, so please come back again. Li said with a smile.
"It must be, I don't live far away, and tasting food is my hobby for the old man, hehe." Old Man Fang waved goodbye to Li leisurely, and turned around to leave with Xiao Zhang's support.
Li leisurely looked at the back of Old Man Fang, thoughtful, and turned around to go back to the store after a while!!
