Night Market No. 586 is a long-established shop that sells old noodles and has been open in the night market for 55 years.

Ancient noodles are time-honored brands, the noodles are full of strength, the noodles taste pleasant, the ingredients and meat are all high-quality materials, all the ingredients are the freshest ingredients, and the fame in Guanghua City is widely spread.

Diners come here to enjoy the sight of the day, from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next night.

There was a long queue at the door, and after eating, a group of people came and went.

Cao Fan and Zhang Hua stood at the door, Cao Fan was greedy and said to Zhang Hua again: "I want to eat ancient noodles, do you eat them." ”

Zhang Hua touched his gurgling stomach, as if he was about to refuse: "You've eaten so much barbecue, can you still eat it?" Okay, I'll accompany you to eat some." ”

Cao Fan couldn't help but be angry: "Obviously, you also want to eat well." ”

The two tacitly went over to line up, ready to try this legendary ancient noodle.

Zhang Hua saw that there were twenty-one people in front of him, and each table could only seat three people. At this time, behind Cao Fan stood an old man in gray, about seventy years old. The gray-clothed old Zhuo had resolute eyes and quietly followed behind Cao Fan. And Zhang Hua also saw the old man in gray, and said to the old man behind Cao Fan: "This uncle, you can get a table with us." With that, he gave up his position and stood behind Cao Fan, and the old man expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, two young men, I didn't bring any money, can you invite me to a meal?" The old man in gray touched his upper and lower coat pockets and buttocks, and said to Cao Fan.

Cao Fan felt that the old man must have forgotten to take the money when he went out, so he readily agreed: "It's no problem to have a bowl of noodles, I'll ask you." ”

Cao Fan turned around and said to Zhang Hua: "I invited this meal, you can't rob me." ”

Zhang Hua touched his head and responded: "Yes, you invite this meal, and I will invite you next meal." I'm going to eat you this time. ”

Cao Fan wanted to laugh: "Come on, see how capable you are." ”

And the old man in gray also turned around and said, "Thank you, young man." ”

Cao Fan responded with a smile.

There are only ten tables in the shop of ancient noodles, and each table can only make three people, and it will soon be Cao Fan and them.

There are only four staff members in the shop, two noodle cooks and two female workers.

"Uncle, what kind of noodles do you want to eat?" Cao Fan asked the old man in gray for his opinion.

"I just want a bowl of old noodles, beef-flavored. The old man in gray responded.

"Uncle, do you have any other requirements?" Cao Fan asked again.

"Let him add more coriander. The old man in gray remembered something and hurriedly added.

The three of them sat down, Cao Fan sat inside, Zhang Hua sat on the right, and the old man in gray sat on the side of the road.

A middle-aged lady in her forties walked over and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Zhang Hua didn't say anything, and Cao Fan hurriedly took over: "Three bowls of ancient noodles, two of which are according to your most classic recipe, one of which is with beef and more coriander." ”

The middle-aged eldest sister was very puzzled, two people ordered three bowls of noodles, is it so edible? The eldest sister thought they could eat it, and shouted at the cook: "Three bowls of ancient noodles, one of which is with beef and more coriander." ”

The cook replied, "Okay." ”

Zhang Hua said in front of Cao Fan and the old man in gray: "This waiter's eyes are too bad, aren't we three people?" Cao Fan said to Zhang Hua with a smile: "It's not normal to look away at night." And the old man in gray looked at the middle-aged eldest sister in a trance.

Zhang Hua looked at the packaged barbecue and said in his heart: Hengjing will definitely not be able to eat it tomorrow. He immediately took it out and continued to eat, and said to the old man: "Uncle, why don't you have some barbecue?"

"Young man, you can eat, the uncle is too old to eat barbecue. Eat more. As the gray-clothed man spoke, his eyes looked into the shop of ancient noodles.

Cao Fan asked, "Uncle, why did you come out to eat noodles so late?"

The gray-clothed man was suddenly very disappointed: "Yes, what about my family?" His eyes looked into the shop again.

At this moment, a young man came over and was about to say something to Cao Fan's table. After Cao Fan stood up, he pulled the young man aside and said to the young man: "Brother, there is someone in this position, take care of it." After speaking, he took out a hundred-dollar bill in his hand and gave it to him. The young man immediately said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." With that, he walked away.

Zhang Hua looked at Cao Fan's approach, did not make a sound, and continued to eat the barbecue in his hand.

The old man in gray just looked at the inside of the shop in a daze.

Three minutes later, three bowls of hot old noodles were served.

Zhang Hua has eaten so much barbecue, and he does not refuse to come to ancient noodles.

Cao Fan smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "Zhang Hua, you can eat too much." After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of ancient noodles.

"I'm rubbing! It's so delicious, it's not a time-honored brand. Cao Fan couldn't help but scream.

The old man in gray also moved his chopsticks and ate it.

Zhang Hua quickly finished eating the noodles in his bowl, and looked at the noodles in the bowl of Cao Fan and the old man in gray.

"Ah Fan, bring another bowl to the slave family, I haven't eaten enough. Zhang Hua tugged at the corner of Cao Fan's clothes.

Cao Fan said angrily: "Put away your slavery, if you do it again, I will suppress you as a senior brother." ”

Zhang Hua continued to say without shame: "If you invite the slave family to eat a bowl of noodles again, everyone will listen to you." "I have to touch Cao Fan's face with my hands.

Cao Fan was convinced, and if he didn't give him a bowl of noodles, he was going to be scared, so he hurriedly said to the store: "Bring me another bowl of ancient noodles, the classic version." ”

The middle-aged eldest sister walked over and glanced at the table number, and saw that there was a bowl on the corner that no one had eaten, and was about to remind Cao Fan, Cao Fan quickly stood up. He said to her, "Another bowl, it's a hundred dollars, don't look for it." ”

The middle-aged eldest sister looked at the hundred-yuan bill and hurriedly said, "Thank you, little brother, I'll come right away." ”

Soon, the old man in gray finished eating the noodles, got up and said to Cao Fan: "Thank you two little brothers for your hospitality, goodbye." ”

Cao Fan responded: "Goodbye, go slowly......"

The old man in gray also smiled at Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua also responded with a smile. He looked at the ancient noodle shop and the people inside, especially the middle-aged eldest sister.

The old man in gray walked to a path next door and disappeared into the night.

"I like it, old man. Zhang Hua said.

"Me too. Cao Fan said, but said in his heart: "Uncle, you are good."

Zhang Hua also finished eating noodles soon, and Cao Fan called the middle-aged eldest sister to settle the account.

The middle-aged eldest sister walked to the table here and took a look, there was still a bowl of noodles that she hadn't eaten, and was about to ask if the food was not up to taste, "Little brother, haven't you eaten this bowl of beef noodles yet?" I would like to ask, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"

The middle-aged eldest sister thought for a while, turned back to Cao Fan and said, "It's been six months." ”

Cao Fan said in a divine way: "I haven't been back for so long, I advise you to take your relatives here home to see it recently, there is a family member waiting for you to come home." ”

The middle-aged eldest sister seemed to think of something, and said to Cao Fan: "Thank you, little brother, I'll go home tomorrow to see it." "The middle-aged eldest sister is called Fan Qin, she is forty-five years old this year, and there is an old father at home, who is seventy-seven years old this year, she is the third oldest in the family, and has an eldest sister and an elder brother. Her father usually lives with her brother Fan Bing, and their home is more than 70 kilometers away from Guanghua City, and Fan Qin has been back to his hometown for more than half a year since he last returned to his hometown to see his father.

Cao Fan responded: "Eldest sister, please take care of yourself." ”

"Thank you. Fan Qin replied. "Dare to ask the little brother's surname?" Fan Qin asked, he just asked casually, after all, Cao Fan cared about her so much.

"A junior at Guanghua University, Cao Fan. We're going back, goodbye big sister. Cao Fan told the truth, and then pulled up Zhang Hua, who was full of food and drink, and left here, gradually disappearing into the flow of people.

"Goodbye. ”

Fan Qin looked at the table where the three of them had left in a daze, especially the bowl of ancient noodles that had not been touched.

Beef noodles with coriander.

Father's favorite flavor.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, and Fan Qin picked up the phone.

Before the phone hung up, Fan Qin knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, ignoring the strange eyes of everyone around her, and said sadly: "Dad, why did you leave like this, my daughter hasn't seen you for the last time." Then he glanced at the beef noodles and coriander on the table, and seemed to understand something.

"You love to eat the beef noodles I made, I can't make them for you anymore. ”
