Chapter 20: The Tragedy of a Bowl of Noodles
With a confused look, Xiao Fan got up. I took out a toothbrush and towel from my bag and washed up casually. Then he went downstairs.
I happened to meet the boss in the hallway.
"Morning!"
"Early."
The boss has something in his hand.
Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't have any luggage in his hand, the boss said, "How many days are you going to play?" ”
"For a while." Xiao Fan didn't know how long he would stay.
"Hmm." The boss didn't seem to care about how long Xiao Fan would stay, but said, "Although we are in a poor and remote place, there are no rules. Can you pay the deposit first? ”
"Oh, yes, yes. How much? Xiao Fan forgot about this stubble.
"Let's give two hundred for the time being, because you don't know how long you're going to stay, do you!? Do you think you can? ”
"Okay." Xiao Fan just took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer money with one click, but after thinking about it, let's give cash.
"Huh." Xiao Fan took out two hundred cash and gave it to the boss.
"I'll clean up your room first, don't you mind?"
"Don't mind."
"By the way, the first one at the entrance of the village has an early sale. Our village teahouse, sorry, does not offer breakfast. But if you don't mind, lunch and dinner can be eaten with my family. ”
"That would be an interruption."
"It's okay."
Today's sun is very good, the sun is shining, and the soft light shines on the face, and people feel very comfortable.
The air in the countryside is exceptionally good.
There was indeed a stall in front of the first house at the head of the bridge, with a pot and a stove fire underneath, and a firewood burning underneath. The pot is boiling with boiling water, and next to the pot is a square table with stacks of chopsticks and some condiments. The owner of the stall was a woman, about forty years old.
It's half past eight in the morning, and there aren't many people coming for breakfast, but there are a few in a few minutes. They are all from the same village, and most of them live near the river.
Xiao Fan walked over.
"Sister, bring me a bowl of noodles." Xiao Fan said.
The eldest sister raised her head, looked at Xiao Fan with the eyes of a foreigner, and asked, "Do you want it to be thin or wide?" Do you want rice noodles or noodle soup? But we don't have hot dry noodles here, so let's say so. ”
Xiao Fan looked at the noodles on the table, and finally said, "Then bring me a bowl of noodle soup." Thank you! ”
"Okay!"
The eldest sister grabbed a section of noodles and threw it into the boiling pot of water.
The eldest sister first took a porcelain bowl, then scooped a scoop of clear soup in another small pot with a long iron spoon, and put the clear soup in the bowl. After a short time, the boiled noodles are salvaged and placed in a bowl filled with soup with wooden chopsticks. After that, add a little condiment to the bowl, and the last step is to sprinkle chopped green onions on the noodles.
Well, a bowl of fragrant noodles is finished. It takes only a minute or two before and after. Whether it was the color or the fragrant fragrance, Xiao Fan quickly paid the money and brought it over, and ate it at the table next to him.
To be honest, this bowl of noodles is really better than all the noodles Xiao Fan eats in the city, and I don't know what magic the proprietress used, and I don't know what secret recipe is put in the ordinary clear soup made in the pot, but it is delicious and delicious. Xiao Fan finished absorbing a bowl of clear soup noodles in a few minutes, and drank all the soup inside.
After that, Xiao Fan finally couldn't help but ask the proprietress a question.
"What is that soup made of?"
"Questions?" The proprietress looked at Xiao Fan with a blank expression, and she didn't know the situation and thought that Xiao Fan was here to find fault.
Xiao Fan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, this bowl of noodles is so delicious, so I want to ask you what secret recipe you use?" If you don't mind. ”
The proprietress spread her hands and said with a very ordinary expression: "A little beef bones, a few radish." ”
"That's it?" Xiao Fan was very surprised.
"That's it." The proprietress said.
"You're still here tomorrow morning, right?!" Xiao Fan asked.
"Out, every day."
Maybe the proprietress really doesn't understand this foreigner, isn't there no noodles in the city? Is my ordinary noodle in the countryside really that good? It's so weird.
Maybe everyone here thinks Xiao Fan is an eccentric person.
"I'll be here tomorrow morning." Xiao Fan said with a smile.
"Well, welcome." The proprietress said.
It turns out that there really are such delicious noodles in the world! Xiao Fan was as happy as if he had found a paradise.
After eating breakfast, just when Xiao Fan didn't know what to do next, at this time Xiao Fan saw the child again, the child who scared him out of his soul under the crooked neck old tree last night. It's the little boy who left himself alone and didn't understand any politeness.
At this moment, the little boy was standing in front of the breakfast stall, taking a bowl of noodles in his hand. The little boy was unaware that someone was staring at him.
However, when the little boy was about to sit down on the table and enjoy his breakfast, he turned around and suddenly met Xiao Fan's eyes. This is a complete show.
I saw that the little boy had just seen Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan was about to step forward to talk to him, and then ask some questions, after all, it was too late last night, and it was a sudden visit, which caused the little boy to be startled. I don't think it would have happened last night. Xiao Fan thought so. However, it backfired.
The little boy didn't think about anything, and ran with the bowl in hand. This scene is really, it makes people want to cry without tears.
"Hey, little pot friend, are you misleading?! I'm not a bad person! ”
After that, Xiao Fan trotted all the way and chased after him. The passers-by on the side were stunned. Is this ...... Traffickers?
Therefore, passers-by who have just finished eating noodles, or who have not finished eating noodles, know each other because they are from the same village. They also began to chase after Xiao Fan. suddenly staged a human tragicomedy.
The little boy ran quite fast, and his hand holding the bowl was quite steady, and no soup spilled. The most terrifying thing is that the little boy is running, and from time to time he picks up a few noodles and sucks them down. Xiao Fan really has an indescribable sense of comical and helplessness.
This little rabbit cub, just run without saying a word, what can't be communicated well. What's more, I also rewarded you with a white rabbit last night, and you forgot about it?
"You stop! Don't run away, uncle still has a few tofties here, do you want it, I'll give it all to you, okay?! ”
The passers-by behind hurriedly shouted, "It's over!" Who put the traffickers into the village? Act in broad daylight, is there any royal law!? Hurry up and hand it over to the Public Security Bureau! ”
Xiao Fan ate a bowl of delicious noodles today, and he was really a little carried away, he didn't know that he was in an unprecedented predicament......
