Chapter 2033: You and Me (1)
"That-" Xu Youning asked in a daze, "What's going on?" ”
The new owners of the restaurant are a young couple.
The girl told Xu Youning that he and her husband were childhood sweethearts, and they, like Xu Youning, were born and raised here.
Their parents are both doctors, and they work in the same hospital, so they are so busy that they don't have time to cook for them.
Their parents had only one way: to give them money to go to Grandma Xu's small restaurant for dinner, and they clearly stipulated that they could only go to Grandma Xu's small restaurant.
Neighbors know that Grandma Xu not only has good craftsmanship, but also has reached the ultimate in food hygiene. Most importantly, Grandma Xu only uses fresh ingredients.
They are also very obedient, they go to school together every day, eat together in Grandma Xu's small restaurant after school, and if their parents don't come back after eating, they will do their homework together in Grandma Xu's small restaurant.
When they grew up, they naturally got together.
After graduating from college, they returned to the ancient village and made an appointment to go to see Grandma Xu together, but they heard that Grandma Xu had left.
With an entrepreneurial impulse in their hearts, coupled with their love for catering and their feelings for small restaurants, they decided to take over the operation of Grandma Xu's small restaurant.
They renovated the small restaurant and changed the restaurant environment to their liking and aesthetics, but they kept the original menu.
Every dish on the menu is not only what they miss, but also what old diners miss.
Grandma Xu is gone, and they hope that they can pass on the warmth and beauty of the old man.
Xu Youning should have known these things four years ago.
It's just that she didn't expect that after leaving G City last time, she would have to return to this place after four years.
"We remember you." The girl said, "You are Grandma Xu's granddaughter." ”
Xu Youning smiled and said yes, and sincerely thanked the shopkeeper and his wife: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." The girl's smile was warm and healing, "Sit down and see what you want to eat, just order." By the way, the dishes we made taste very similar to those made by Grandma Xu! ”
“……”
Xu Youning was very surprised-
Someone can imitate grandma and make the same meal?
"Really." The girl didn't know if she was shy, her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was very small but very sure, "I like food very much, and I used to pester Grandma Xu to teach me how to cook whenever I had time, so I know how Grandma Xu usually cooks." ”
Xu Youning looked at the girl and suddenly remembered that she might have an impression of this girl.
She hadn't seen her, but her grandmother had mentioned her.
She didn't inherit her grandmother's good craftsmanship, and she had no interest in the kitchen, so she was complained about by her grandmother more than once.
When her grandmother complained about her, she mentioned a girl, saying that she was much younger than her, she liked to cook, and she came to learn from her whenever she had time.
The girl that my grandmother mentioned to her at the time was this girl, but I didn't expect them to have the opportunity to meet.
If my grandmother knew that her craft had been passed down in this way, she would be happy.
Xu Youning ordered a few of her favorite dishes, handed the menu to the girl, and said, "Trouble." ”
"You're welcome." The girl held the menu and looked at Mu Sijue a little shyly, "What about this gentleman, what do you need to order?" ”
Mu Sijue signaled that he didn't need to, and the girl took his menu, glanced at him secretly, and trotted to the back kitchen.
Xu Youning finally understood why the girl blushed-
It turned out to be because of Mu Sijue.
But it's normal, after all, Mu Sijue is the most intuitive feeling: handsome!
His artistic sculpture-like and extremely beautiful facial features, coupled with that innate powerful aura, are unfamiliar, and there is a high probability that there will be a brief blank in the brain, and I can't believe that there are such good-looking people in the world.
How did Xu Youning know this feeling?
The first time she saw Mu Sijue, that's how she felt!
At that time, she even felt that her soul had been critically attacked, and she felt that Mu Sijue had refreshed her perception of handsomeness and charm.
It turns out that there are really people who can look so good.
It turns out that there are really people who can make every move full of charm.
……
Mu Sijue saw that Xu Youning was distracted, thinking that she was thinking of Grandma Xu, and gently held her hand.
Xu Youning reacted, smiled at Mu Sijue, and signaled that she was fine.
"Two, drink the soup first." A boy came over with a wooden tray, and the soup was served in a delicate white porcelain bowl, "This pork ribs and kelp soup was also learned by my wife from Grandma Xu, although the taste is light, but the selection of ingredients is exquisite, and it is very delicious!" ”
The meaty aroma of pork ribs and the delicate aroma of kelp are mixed together, which is enough to awaken people's appetite.
Xu Youning used to like to drink this soup the most.
She couldn't wait to taste it, and the taste was really no different from what her grandmother made, so she urged Mu Sijue: "It's delicious, try it quickly." ”
Mu Sijue hadn't eaten much of Grandma Xu's cooking, but he could still drink the soup and said, "It tastes very good." ”
Acknowledging the affirmation of the two diners, the boy happily walked back behind the counter.
After a while, a few dishes ordered by Xu Youning were ready and served.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes, the tableware is exquisite and the presentation is exquisite, and it has a petty bourgeois atmosphere more than eating real home-cooked meals.
Mu Sijue took apart a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xu Youning, saying, "Try it." ”
Xu Youning tasted the fish-flavored eggplant and tasted a few other dishes.
Mu Sijue didn't move his chopsticks, his eyes kept following Xu Youning, and when he saw that she had finished tasting a few dishes one by one, he asked her what she thought of the taste?
"It's really similar to what my grandmother did. However, it seems that seasonings are more abundant. Xu Youning said, "It should be to take care of other customers, and it has been improved on the basis of my grandmother." ”
“……”
"It's nice to be able to do this." Xu Youning continued, "If my grandmother is still here, she will always improve her methods and ingredients." ”
Nothing lasts forever. In life, people must always accept some changes from time to time.
Xu Youning has already realized this truth.
Mu Sijue didn't say anything, just motioned to Xu Youning to eat quickly, and said, "I'll take you to a place after eating." ”
"Good!"
Xu Youning didn't ask them where they were going next, and enjoyed the familiar taste.
After more than half an hour, the number of people in the store gradually increased, including young people who came for sightseeing, as well as local old people.
Everyone was chatting while eating, and the owner and his wife were busy, and they didn't have time to take special care of Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
After eating, Xu Youning took the initiative to go to the front desk to check out.
The girl was helping the guests at another table to order, and the time to place the order smiled at Xu Youning and said, "No need." We invite you to eat. ”
Xu Youning said: "So what
Line ......"
The girl motioned to Xu Youning not to be polite, and said, "You don't have to pay for dinner here!" ”
“……”
Xu Youning was stunned, smiled, and couldn't refute it for a while.
Indeed, she eats here and has never paid for it.
"Alright, I'm going to get busy." The girl put her apron back on, "Welcome back." ”
Without waiting for Xu Youning to say anything, the girl had already run to the back kitchen, she should have gone to prepare food.
When leaving, Xu Youning still took a few large bills from Mu Sijue's wallet and pressed them to the bottom of the bowl.
She used to eat here, and she really didn't have to pay.
However, many things are not the same as before.
Grandma has left this world, and she and Mu Sijue can no longer live in G City.
Even if his grandmother's former residence is still there, this restaurant is still operating, and his grandmother's menu is still on the menu, but what has changed, Xu Youning can't ignore it.
However, she is not sad.
She can accept all the changes and is willing to embrace a new life.
It all started when she had to pay for a meal here!
After getting into the car, Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue, with an obvious smile between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" Mu Sijue asked.
Xu Youning pondered for a moment, and then replied:
"Sijue, I know that you brought me back to comfort me not to be sad, to tell me that there are some things that are still there and have not changed. Actually, I know, and I know that it is you who are struggling to maintain it behind the scenes, and there are some things that have not been changed. But when I came back today, I saw what had changed. ”
"Youning ......"
Mu Sijue's voice was low, trying to comfort Xu Youning.
Xu Youning shook his head, signaled Mu Sijue not to worry about her, and said with a bright smile: "I can accept what has changed, such as the restaurant has been run by a different person, such as we can't live in City A, such as ...... Grandma has left. ”
"......" Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning's hand, with some force, and told her word by word, "You still have me." ”
"Hmm!" Xu Youning nodded, flipped his palm, clasped Mu Sijue's hand, and said, "I know." ”
After a pause, Xu Youning continued: "I also know that you are worried that I will be sad because of my grandmother's departure. I've already thought about it, don't be sad. And I know that my grandmother doesn't want me to be sad, she just wants us to be well. ”
Mu Sijue's expression relaxed, revealing a reassuring expression.
Although he didn't say it, Xu Youning knew that what he was thinking at this moment must be: It's good that she knows this truth.
She had already understood, he didn't need to go to such great lengths to tell her.
Or is it that in his eyes, she is the same as she was four years ago, and she has not grown at all?
"In short," Xu Youning promised, "I will no longer be sad about my grandmother's departure, and I will no longer blame myself!" ”
Satisfied with this assurance, Mu Sijue told Applejack to go to the next place, telling him to stop the car when he saw a flower shop.
Xu Youning didn't have to guess to know that they must be going to see their grandmother next.
However, when my grandmother left, she hurriedly placed her in the temple on the mountain.
Mu Sijue asked Applejack to park at the flower shop, could he ......
Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue in disbelief, speechless for a long time......
