It's a small shop, a little smaller than Lane 7.

The shop was clean and tidy, and there was a large table on the outermost with water, noodles, and various side sauces, and eight or nine tables inside, because it was breakfast time, and eight tables were occupied, and only one was empty.

I went there to sit down, but at the thought of being shy, I walked out silently.

"Niu'er is a foreigner." While the boss was cooking noodles, he casually asked me, "Are you here for dinner?" ”

"Well, I forgot to bring the money." I smiled embarrassedly and continued walking.

"Seeing that you are not very old, about the same as my daughter, don't be hungry, give you a bun to eat." The boss turned around and took a flat and round cake that was somewhat similar to the meat bun of the later generations, and handed it to me.

I was a little surprised, took it, and said a little embarrassed, "But I ...... Didn't bring any money. ”

"It's a big deal, let's eat." The boss waved at me, lowered his head and continued to make noodles.

I wordlessly pinched the round cake, walked to the road outside, which was not very spacious, and took a bite, only to feel that it was so fragrant.

Perhaps this is the characteristic of the times, when material development is increasing day by day, this seemingly inconspicuous kindness has become the rarest thing in later generations.

I lowered my head, silently finished the round cake, and walked back to the hotel along the side of the road.

After climbing the stairs, I unexpectedly saw Mr. Ji waiting in front of the door.

He was much more energetic today than yesterday, wearing a neat suit, and when he saw me coming, he smiled at me, "Where have you been?" ”

"I went out to look for food, but I forgot to bring the money." I smiled awkwardly, "Then, I met a kind boss who gave me a piece of cake." ”

"It turned out that I was hungry, and I was about to take you to eat, but I didn't expect you to sting out by yourself." Mr. Ji smiled again, "Do you want to go back to the room and clean it up?" If you don't need to, I'll take you out to dinner. ”

I shook my head, followed Mr. Ji, and walked out of the hotel together.

Originally, Mr. Ji should have wanted to take me to some more well-known restaurants, but at my insistent request, Mr. Ji took me to the noodle restaurant just now.

"Niu'er, haven't you eaten enough?" The boss saw me and greeted me with a smile.

I grinned at him, "Boss, I'm here with money this time." ”

The boss was happy, "Then what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you." ”

"Here's a bowl of jajanjan noodles." I glanced at the thick sauce rolling in the pot, took a deep breath, and said quickly.

"Okay...... Just want a bowl? The boss probably saw Mr. Ji behind me and asked again.

I pursed my lips, feeling that Mr. Ji would not eat this kind of small stall, but I didn't expect him to come behind me and say, "I want two bowls." ”

I was a little stunned and froze in place, Mr. Ji passed me and found an empty table and sat down.

I guess it's because the people at the front table have just left, and there are some plates with only sauce left in front of us, as well as messy dishes and chopsticks.

Inexplicably, I feel that all this does not match Mr. Ji in a straight suit.

I suddenly felt a little regretful for my willfulness, "Mr. Ji, otherwise, I'll just eat here, you can eat somewhere else." ”

"How?" Mr. Ji smiled faintly, "The fried noodles here are very delicious, I haven't eaten them for a long time, and I always didn't have time to come before, so today I have a rare opportunity to come and try it." ”

I know he said this just to comfort me, but he wouldn't come to such a small roadside shop at all.

Fortunately, someone soon came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the boss also quickly sent two bowls of fried noodles.

I took the chopsticks, handed Mr. Ji a pair, and lowered my head to stir the fried noodles.

The noodles are firm, the sauce is rich but not greasy, and the cucumber side dish is refreshing.

I finished a bowl in one sitting, and I still can't get enough.

Mr. Ji smiled and teased me, "Why don't you have another bowl?" ”

I gave him a blank look, and when I saw that he had finished eating, I got up and prepared to leave.

Mr. Ji took out his wallet, paid for the noodles, and walked out with me.

"Niu'er, come back after eating." The boss didn't forget to say hello to me.

I smiled and waved at him.

"You can talk to anyone." Mr. Ji said with a light smile.

"No, you forgot the first time you saw me, you were scolded by the principal for fighting with your classmates?" I laughed, "My classmate, that Li Mengmeng, can't talk to me." ”

"First time I saw you?" Mr. Ji's eyes deepened for a moment, "Perhaps, that's just the first time you think I've seen you." ”

"Have you seen me somewhere else?" I asked in surprise.

But Mr. Ji didn't answer me, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

I was forced to keep up with him at a trot because my legs weren't as long as his.

In this way, we crossed two streets and came to a relatively busy section.

Although there are no high-rise buildings in later generations, the rows of shops and the crowd of people who follow each other have a faint look of the later generations.

"This is the busiest street in the capital, you can go and see the shops here." Mr. Ji's pace finally slowed down, "Let's see how others are doing it." ”

I nodded, picked a medium-looking restaurant and walked in.

Because of the different regions, the capital is much more advanced than our small county, and as soon as I entered, I saw the color TV playing TV dramas, and the people watching TV while eating under the color TV.

A waiter came up to inquire intimately, and I waved my hand and left.

Then, the next store.

In this way, I spent the whole day watching how others attract and retain customers.

Mr. Ji was very patient with me, and although he answered the phone a lot of times during the period, he did not leave me behind.

It wasn't until it was getting late and the shops were closing that he sent me back to the hotel.

"That's all for today, if you still want to see it, I'll watch it with you for another day tomorrow." Mr. Ji sent me back to the hotel, and before I went in, he leaned in front of the car and talked to me.

"No, I want to go back tomorrow." I pursed my lips and said in a low voice, "It's been a few days since I left school, and I have to go back and arrange the affairs of Seven Alleys quickly." ”

"Looks like you're confident." Mr. Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at me in surprise.

"It's kind of an idea." I smiled a little embarrassed.

"Tell me about it." Mr. Ji laughed, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyebrows.

I scratched my head, and was about to tell him what was on my mind, when suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded not far away.

"Brother Wangshu, why are you here, and who is she?"

When I turned around in astonishment, I saw a young girl in a small red suit rushing up to me and shoving me back several steps.

"Xinrui!" Mr. Ji shouted and grabbed the young woman's arm, "Don't mess around." ”

"I'm not messing around, this is in front of the hotel, what do you mean by appearing here with a woman." The young girl stomped her feet reluctantly, reaching out and trying to push me, but fortunately, Mr. Ji pulled her arm back and dragged me back, so as to prevent me from being poisoned again.

"Xinrui, don't mess around, she's my friend." Mr. Ji drank again, but it didn't work, the young woman was still screaming, and the people in the hotel they attracted all stretched out their heads to look here.

"Enough, don't make trouble, Shen Jiang, you go back first, and I'll send you home tomorrow." Mr. Ji had no choice but to try to stuff the young woman back into the car, and turned around and hurriedly admonished me.

I nodded in disbelief, didn't dare to stay any longer, ran back to the room, and locked the door.

After thinking about it, I finally put the anti-leeching chain on again.

Although I don't know what the young woman has to do with Mr. Ji, just looking at her attitude towards me, I know that this is not simple.

I don't want to wade into troubled waters.

So early the next morning, after Mr. Ji came to pick me up, I politely refused him and said that I could buy a ticket to go home.

Mr. Ji was stunned for a moment, his face was a little serious, "Were you scared by yesterday's girl?" Actually, she ...... It's just my childhood sweetheart's little sister.,Although the family hopes that we can be together.,But at present,,It's unlikely.,I've intentionally alienated her.,But I didn't expect her to quietly inquire about my whereabouts.,And scared.,I'm really sorry.。 ”

His apology was sincere, and I didn't want to stiffen our relationship, so I nodded anyway.

This time, Mr. Ji sent me back with the man with glasses.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought in my heart, this should not let the girl named Xinrui misunderstand.

Mr. Ji seemed to be afraid of causing me trouble, and when I got out of the car, he said to me, "Don't worry, she doesn't know who you are or where you are, and she won't cause you trouble." ”

I was stunned for a moment, my hands subconsciously pushed forward, the car door closed, Mr. Ji held the steering wheel, smiled at me, and drove away.

If it is said that before going to the capital, including one day in the capital, Mr. Ji and I must have a slightly better relationship and become friends from the span of partners, then the trouble in front of the hotel can be regarded as bringing the two of us back to the original point.

From the very beginning, it was just a partner.

I sighed and turned around and entered Lane Seven.

Today is eleven, and my mother opened a shop on the tenth day of the first month according to my instructions.

It's lunch now, and it stands to reason that the restaurant should be full of customers.

Even if every family goes to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, it shouldn't be so deserted.

I frowned, pushed open the glass door, and as soon as I walked in, I saw two men with scruffy beards and haggard faces, moving their hands and feet in front of my mother.

Zhang Xiaofei's mother and Xiaofang protected my mother left and right, but they were pushed aside by those two people.
