Chapter 66: The First Guest

Seeing off the guests, Fang Yu's one-sided fate can be regarded as the official start of business.

Fang Yu's noodle restaurant is open according to the time slot, and it is temporarily closed in the morning to prepare various ingredients.

It officially opens at 11 p.m. and ends at 3 p.m.

It is open from 5 p.m. in the evening to 9 p.m., and Fang Yu has no plans to do it for the time being.

Fang Yu waited for the customers to come with great anticipation, but except for a strange guest who came in and took a look at the price and left, many people just pointed and whispered when they passed by, but no one came in.

Maybe you don't know about my store yet, but when the content of the opening ceremony is reported tomorrow, the business will definitely be super hot. When the door was closed at night, Fang Yu comforted himself like this.

The next day, Fang Yu got up early in the morning as usual, checked the broth simmered on the stove and went out for morning exercises.

During this time, due to Fang Yu's request, Lin Xiaoxiao was no longer responsible for making breakfast, but she still got up early. When Fang Yuchen came back from practice, Lin Xiaoxiao was happily cleaning in the store.

She presided over the decoration of this small noodle restaurant, and as the designer, she felt that this noodle restaurant was like her child, and she couldn't get enough of it.

Looking at the busy Xiaoxiao, Fang Yu decided to make a wonderful breakfast to treat her

After a little washing, Fang Yu skillfully kneaded the dough weighing two catties.

When it was time to make noodles, Fang Yu made two bowls of broth that had been boiled for seven hours, skimmed off the oil and made two servings of clear soup.

Rolling noodles, cutting noodles, boiling water, by the way, blanched a few pieces of chicken hair vegetables bought in the morning, sprinkled green onions from the pot and poured clear soup, two bowls of clear soup noodles are completed.

In these two bowls of noodles, in addition to a few slices of chicken hair, there is a small handful of chives, and only one kind of condiment is used, Zigong's well salt.

Although this bowl of clear soup noodles looks very simple, the tempting fragrance has already made Lin Xiaoxiao, who was waiting on the side, a little impatient.

Following the rapid development of Fang Yu's cooking skills, Lin Xiaoxiao has been completely captured by those delicious foods. According to her, she is used to eating the delicious food made by Brother Fang, and if she leaves here, she may have anorexia.

She stood beside Fang Yu, and as soon as the noodles were ready, she happily handed Fang Yu chopsticks, and then picked up her share and sat down in front of the food preparation table to start eating.

The noodles are still a little hot, but the thick wheat fragrance and the sweet aroma of the clear soup have completely hooked Lin Xiaoxiao's appetite, so she didn't care about burning her mouth, so she picked up a chopstick noodle and sent it to her mouth, chewing it over and over again.

The smooth noodles dance in the mouth with a delicious and refreshing soup, like a dragon playing in the water, and a kind of free and easy pleasure arises spontaneously.

Swallowing a bite of noodles, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up another emerald green chicken hair cabbage and sent it to her mouth, the crisp and tender stems and leaves burst out of sweet juice between her teeth, echoing the rich wheat fragrance that still remained in her mouth, adding a touch of clear sky flavor to this simple bowl of clear soup noodles.

Originally, Fang Yu was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would not be able to finish eating, so he only gave her two taels of noodles, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiao, who had always eaten a small amount of food, would be eliminated after a while.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face was slightly red, Fang Yu smiled and added another noodle or two to her. It's not that Fang Yu is stingy, it's just that Lin Xiaoxiao's physique is not good, her spleen and stomach are weak, and even if the pasta is easy to digest, she doesn't dare to let her eat more.

Fang Yu is different, he is practicing "Flying Hatchlings Crossing the Sea", he is only seven minutes full after eating one and a half catties of noodles in a meal, and his digestion has completely developed towards dehumanization.

After breakfast, Fang Yu's ordered ingredients were delivered one by one, and with Lin Xiaoxiao's help, Fang Yu finally stopped all the work before opening at noon.

As soon as eleven o'clock arrived, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately opened the door of the store, hung up the sign in business, and then sat at the cashier and waited for customers to come.

But after a whole hour, no one came to the door, and Fang Yu began to bored in the kitchen to practice the ancient "Five Fowl Opera".

The sun is slowly rising to the zenith, the temperature outside the noodle shop is already very high, the ground is steaming in the distance, and the pedestrians on the road are beginning to decrease.

Fang Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao had lunch hastily, estimating that there might be no more guests at noon, so Fang Yu returned to the kitchen and continued to practice knife skills. Lin Xiaoxiao sat at the cash register and took a nap.

At about half past twelve, a small bell hanging on the door of the noodle shop made a crisp and pleasant sound, and a middle-aged man in a half-worn short-sleeved shirt and fat trousers walked in.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was awakened by the opening bell, rubbed her eyes and took a look, and found that a guest had come in, and immediately said "Welcome".

The middle-aged man ignored Lin Xiaoxiao, but looked at the decoration of the store, and looked at the price list on the wall at the door of the pestle.

On the left side of the entrance is the cash register, and on the right side of the decorative wall are frameless photos and prices of several of the noodle restaurant's main dishes.

At present, the noodle restaurant only provides three dishes: Hook Soul Noodles, Dandan Noodles, and Chicken Bean Flower. In addition to the soul noodles, you can choose two flavors: spicy and spicy, and the dandan noodles and chicken bean curd are only available in one flavor, clear soup.

The photos of the dishes were taken by Lin Xiaoxiao, and the equipment was a single-lens reflex camera borrowed by Wang Jinrong.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who studied design, also spent a lot of effort on photography, and each dish was repeatedly photographed under various lights, and finally selected the best one.

Torin Xiaoxiao pursues the blessing of perfection, and every photo is taken vividly, and you can seem to feel the fragrance rising from the photo through the frame.

The middle-aged man looked at the photos that adorned the wall, and his Adam's apple moved up and down and swallowed his saliva secretly. But when he saw the price under the photo, he was a little hesitant.

A bowl of soul noodles costs 45 yuan, and a bowl of dandan noodles costs 55 yuan, which is completely beyond his budget for lunch.

The middle-aged man touched his pocket, of course he had forty-five yuan, but according to his plan, he was only going to spend fifteen yuan to eat a bowl of noodles today, and the rest of the money was just to buy a pack of cigarettes.

But the price of this small noodle restaurant is too dark, a bowl of street food dandan noodles actually costs 55 yuan, and the so-called "chicken bean curd" costs 85 yuan, which completely exceeds his expectations.

Although the photos looked tempting and he liked the decoration of the store, as a person with a very planned life, he decided to give up and look at another store.

Seeing that the first guest who finally came in wanted to turn around and leave, Lin Xiaoxiao was anxious, and suddenly an idea popped up.

"Hello, the shop has just opened and has launched a preferential reward program with a discount on all food on the first day of opening. Two folds on the second day, three folds on the third day, and so on. Today is the second day of opening, and all dishes are discounted. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao's words made the middle-aged man who walked out of the store with one foot retract his foot.

He roughly calculated in his heart, if he folded it twice, the soul hook noodles were only 9 yuan, and the dan noodles were only 11 yuan, which did not exceed his budget, so he could consider trying it.

Seeing that the guests who were about to leave were left by herself, Lin Xiaoxiao was very happy. She politely beckoned the guests to sit down in the private seat on the left, and when the hot tea was served, she asked the guests what they wanted.

The middle-aged man thought about it for a while, his budget is fifteen yuan, and today the noodle restaurant is two folds, then tomorrow it will be three folds, so it is better to try Dandan noodles first. If the craftsmanship is not bad, the "soul hook noodles" when I come back tomorrow will not exceed the budget.

"Let's have a bowl of dandan noodles." The middle-aged man's voice was nasal.

"Okay, you wait, I'll get it to you soon."

Lin Xiaoxiao meticulously wrote down the middle-aged man's requirements and table number on the order menu, and ran to the back kitchen to place an order.

Fang Yu, who was so idle that he was panicked, saw that there was finally a guest, and immediately took out the insulated noodles from the refrigerator with great enthusiasm, and made the ingredients while cooking the noodles.

Fang Yu put the noodles at the kitchen outlet, and Lin Xiaoxiao came over and brought them to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the time, and about twelve minutes had passed, which was a bit slow. In an ordinary roadside shop, a bowl of dandan noodles generally takes no more than ten minutes from order to serving.
