On the day of the opening of Li Xiao's Meikoku ramen restaurant, the townspeople of Takato Castle felt as if they were in a sea of flowers, and the atmosphere of festive and peaceful festivals was filled everywhere. Located in the bustling streets of Takato Town, Meikoku Ramen Restaurant is full of flowers and colorful flags, and countless townspeople flock to see this unprecedented spectacle.

In order to set off the atmosphere, Li Xiao deliberately went to the Sarugaku in Suwan-no-cho and invited the ape musician to perform the ape music when the ramen restaurant opened in Takato-cho. As a result, the crowd is even more surging.

Now as the lord of the castle, Takeda Katsuyori took Rusuto Manchu, Hoshina Masatoshi, Sanada Masayuki, and Hoshina brothers, these retainers, and Li Xiao's ramen restaurant was full of seats. The ramen restaurant is divided into two floors, the upper floor serves as a kitchen, and the lower floor has a table seat for 30 people.

Now, outside the huge signboard of the Meikoku ramen restaurant, hundreds of townspeople have gathered, and more than a dozen Takeda family ashishigaru armed with spears outside to maintain discipline and prevent these townspeople from trespassing at will.

Just as Katsu Takeda and his retainers were waiting impatiently downstairs on an empty stomach, the aroma of the soup boiled downstairs suddenly filled the entire ramen restaurant.

"What the hell does this smell like? So fragrant? Countless people in Hitocho were amazed.

And the retainers who sat downstairs almost looked like they were drooling, and they stretched out their heads one by one to look in the direction of the stairs on the second floor.

Everyone was looking forward to what kind of food it was, and it would be so fragrant.

At this time, Li Xiaozheng was on the second floor, looking like he was holding Erlang's legs, chatting with the Xiaowan sisters. And the broth in the pot is still simmering over low heat. Originally, it was logical that the kitchen should be located on the first floor, but Li Xiao moved the kitchen to the second floor for reasons of secrecy, so that there was enough space on the first floor.

"My lord, do you think this is good? The people downstairs must be hungry. ”

Li Xiao smiled, and said with a very unconscionable look: "Let them go hungry, the full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, and if he is hungry to this extent, he will give them anything to eat, and it will be regarded as a delicacy." ”

"But aren't you very unconfident in my cooking skills?" As a cook, Yuzhen Kohata, wearing a white skirt and holding a pot and spoon in her hand, looked very innocent and romantic, and said to Li Xiao.

"Well, that's not right, the more hungry they are, the more contrasting they are, believe me."

Li Xiao said, and then repeatedly emphasized: "When you will be able to put noodles, you must not pretend too much, less and exquisite, which is the purpose of our Mingguo Ramen Restaurant, the purpose of less is not to save money, but to let them not eat enough, not to produce satisfaction, and then come more next time." ”

Just when Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao's colleagues were extremely hungry, the shop guys finally put bowls of noodles on the table with wooden trays.

So the first bowl of Meikoku ramen was placed in front of Katsuyori Takeda.

The miso soup made with Yumi Kohata is blended into a soup base made of kelp, bonito and scallops, giving off an enticing seafood aroma. Sprinkle a few shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, and chopped green onions on top of the noodles in the bowl, which makes people look very appetizing.

Finally, a plate of dried radish is also included, so that I can enjoy the pleasure of eating noodles while chewing radish.

In addition, the ramen restaurant looks very delicate from the utensils of the dishes and chopsticks, and you can already feel a visual treat before you eat it.

Takeda Katsuyori immediately couldn't resist the temptation of food, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, while the retainers looked at the appearance of their lord eating noodles, and their saliva suddenly flowed.

"Si enough one, it's delicious."

In less than a minute, Katsuyori Takeda ate the bowl of noodle soup to the bottom, and then praised the deliciousness of the ramen out loud, despite the burning lips and tongue.

The other retainers saw Takeda Katsuyori gobbling it up, and they all looked like they didn't have the image of a Takeda samurai, and they ate the ramen in the bowl in front of them in one go. This time, I can see that the other townspeople who are watching outside the door are speculating about what kind of delicious food, and these samurai adults, who are usually high-ranking samurai, have become so unimpressive.

"One more bowl, one more bowl."

Takeda Katsuyori and his retainers picked up the empty bowl, looked like the bottom of the bowl was facing the sky, and raised their hands high and shouted for more.

At this time, Li Xiao came down from upstairs slowly, and said with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, the shop just opened today, and the materials are not prepared much, the raw materials and soup base of this ramen are not easy to prepare, please come again tomorrow, but there is no guarantee that everyone will have it." ”

In fact, the soup base of this ramen is difficult to prepare, and Li Xiao said this all under pretext.

"It's so unkind."

Takeda Katsuyori and the retainers said indignantly after hearing Li Xiao's words, and they all obviously still had flat stomachs, looking dissatisfied with their desires.

Li Xiao secretly smiled, from now on, these people will become loyal customers of his ramen restaurant, and the townspeople outside have not tasted any taste of ramen, but even the samurai adults who are usually high-ranking people think that it is a gourmet thing, and naturally it will not be bad in their eyes.

Suddenly, the people of Takato Town were excited.

Li Xiao stood on a tall wooden box and explained to them that if you want to eat Chinese ramen, please be early, as long as you can afford to pay, everyone can eat a bowl.

"How much does it cost?"

"Our ramen is divided into four grades, one bowl of 100 wen, 150 wen, 200 wen, and 300 wen."

The two Xiaowan sisters upstairs, hearing Li Xiao say this, suddenly had black lines on their heads. Yumi Kohata said in confusion: "Could it be that the lord is a money fan?" ”

"No, sister, my lord, you have confidence in the ramen I made." Yusada Kohata still said very romantically.

In fact, this ramen sells really well enough, black enough, and the cost of a bowl of ramen is less than five yuan, if it is sold for at least one hundred yuan, a low-level samurai with an annual salary of thirty kan will eat less than three hundred bowls a year.

As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, the townspeople were even more dumbfounded, but according to this kind of consumption level, many people can still come to try it occasionally, even those townspeople who can't afford to eat, all of which does not prevent them from spreading the signboard of Li Xiao's ramen restaurant everywhere.

However, Li Xiao is not worried that no one will come to consume this ramen restaurant, first of all, the delicious value of ramen is undoubted, and it was a unique and scarce food at that time, the business owners in the town in this era are all a group of rich people, and a large part of the consumer groups targeted by Li Xiao are them.

Li Xiao then announced that there was a half-price discount in the first ten days of the opening of the Mingguo Ramen Restaurant, and many townspeople were suddenly boiling.

In any case, Li Xiao's Mingguo ramen restaurant was unsurprisingly an instant hit.

Seeing that the ramen restaurant is so popular, Li Xiao is already thinking about the future, if according to the most conservative estimate that ramen is visited by 50 customers every day, the ramen shop can make at least 50 guan a day, so it is 150 guan a month, and 1,800 guan a year.

It is three times the income of Li Xiao's current general. Such an income is enough for Li Xiao himself to support a large army.
