Chapter 72: The Story of Small Noodles
"Kiki is so cute, no wonder you like her so much."
After seeing Qiqi leave, Xiao Ran said to Su Su with a smile.
An Ruosu was stunned when she heard this, she did like Kiki, but cuteness was only one aspect, and more importantly, she seemed to see herself in Kiki.
Because she and Kiki are both girls destined to be Mulan, they will go out for their father to protect all the good things around them.
But naturally she wouldn't tell Xiao Ran this, she just smiled and nodded, acquiescing to this statement.
"Well, Kiki is indeed very likable, you also saw it just now, she is so young but so sensible."
"It's also because of this that you're willing to come over every day to help her, by the way, Susu, how did you find out about this store, hiding it so secretly?"
From the exchange with Sister Cai just now, Xiao Ran learned that Su Su would come here every weekday for lunch and dinner to help Qiqi with her homework for a while.
Even when she doesn't eat here, she does it rain or shine, even if she hurts her foot.
"I only found out by accident three months ago, but after one visit, I fell in love with it." An Ruosu replied with a smile.
"But I remember that you don't eat spicy food, especially Chongqing noodles." Xiao Ran asked curiously.
"Yes, I can't eat too spicy, the first time I came to ask for a slight spicy, at that time it made me so spicy that I doubted my life, obviously I wanted a slight spicy."
An Ruosu stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Chongqing's slightly spicy is not slightly spicy, Sister Cai looks very Chongqing."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he felt a little funny when he thought of Su Su's scene at that time.
"yes, I didn't know it at first, and I was laughed at by Kiki at the time."
An Ruosu also laughed, obviously although this past was a little embarrassing, it was still very happy.
"So after that, I always wanted it to be slightly spicy, and then Sister Cai would give it to me after she knew about it."
"I was spicy the first time, so why do you dare to come the second time, don't eat it if you can't eat spicy."
Xiao Ran became curious again, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw Su Su looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately understood.
"Have you been here all the time for Kiki?"
Seeing Su Su nodding silently, Xiao Ran's heart was shocked, this ......
"Kiki has just entered the first grade, is she not doing her homework well?" He asked quietly and quietly.
"Kiki is in her second first grade, and she's repeating a grade."
"Ah, why?"
"In the past, Sister Cai was too busy to take care of her at all, her grades were very average, and her father died unexpectedly at the beginning of the year, and she was in a very bad state a few months ago."
"Ahh
Xiao Ran was completely stunned at this moment, he never thought that such an innocent Qiqi would have such a past.
No wonder he never saw Kiki's father, because it stands to reason that such a small shop is usually a mom-and-pop shop.
No wonder Su Su would rather endure the spiciness of Chongqing noodles and insist on coming here to help Qiqi.
And Kiki is so lively and cheerful now, and she can't see anything wrong at all, I'm afraid Susu has put in a lot of effort.
It's no wonder that Sister Cai was so polite to Su Su just now, it turns out that the roots are all here.
Cast a peach in return, compare your heart to your heart!
However, Xiao Ran quickly thought of some of Sister Cai's reactions just now, and he was a little uneasy, so he continued to ask:
"Sister Cai should be from Chongqing, so since Qiqi's father is gone, will she take Qiqi back to her hometown?"
He was a little worried that Su Su would be very sad if Qiqi left one day, so asking like this would be regarded as a preventive shot.
"No, it won't." An Ruosu smiled, "Sister Cai said that Qiqi didn't want to leave her grandparents, so she opened such a store." ”
"That's good." Xiao Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But ......," An Ruosu wanted to say and stopped.
"But what?"
"It is said that opening this store has paid all the compensation to Qiqi's father, but now the business is really bad, and I don't know if Sister Cai can survive." An Ruosu said silently.
Seeing Su Su's worried look, Xiao Ran also sighed in his heart.
People in the world are panicked, sometimes they only want a few taels of broken silver, but this broken silver a few taels can solve the melancholy of the world, can make parents healthy, and can let young children grow up.
The real society is far more cruel than the school, and a penny can sometimes stump the heroes, not to mention the mother and daughter who depend on each other.
In fact, it's not just Sister Cai and Qiqi, it's Xiao Ran himself, who was not rich after working in his previous life, and was often overstretched.
It can be said that Xiao Ran knows the importance of money, and money can be left unused, but it must be there.
It's just that after being reborn, he was thinking about Susu, and he was still a high school student, so he didn't think much about this aspect now.
But now it seems that it is time to take the time to think about making money.
At least for the sake of Susu, you must also have money to invest in Sister Cai's Chongqing noodles.
Moreover, Xiao Ran knows the popularity of Chongqing Xiaoqian in the future, and he believes that in a few years, Xiaomian will become popular, and it is really not a dream to sit and count money at that time.
Besides, with Sister Cai's craftsmanship, this is easier to achieve, and now it may just lack an opportunity.
Maybe move somewhere, maybe make a marketing plan, and it's okay to say.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran secretly made a note of himself.
After that, Xiao Ran and Su Su stopped talking and began to concentrate on eating noodles.
Maybe it's been too long since I've tasted this, Xiao Ran ate heartily.
Moreover, he found that the bowl of noodles given by Sister Cai was too large.
In the previous life, a bowl of Chongqing noodles was generally more than two taels, so every time Xiao Ran went to eat, most of them would ask the boss to add two taels.
However, Sister Cai's bowl of noodles, according to his estimates, is at least more than four taels, and he felt that his stomach was bulging after eating, and he couldn't help but burp.
This naturally attracted the attention of Su Su and Qiqi, but before they could say anything, Xiao Ran couldn't stop hitting several in a row.
This made Su Su and Kiki laugh and were very happy.
Xiao Ran was also happy, this burp came at a really bad time, but he didn't care, and kept praising Sister Cai's craftsmanship.
After eating, Xiao Ran took the initiative to clean up his and Su Su's tableware and rice bowls, so that Qiqi could stay in her seat with peace of mind.
Because, Su Su eats faster than him, and at this time he has already begun to tutor Qiqi's homework.
Therefore, Xiao Ran naturally would not let Qiqi walk back and forth again.
When the rice bowl was delivered to the back kitchen, Xiao Ran found that Sister Cai was still busy there, sorting out the noodles while looking at the pot making chili oil.
Cai Mingyu was slightly surprised when she saw Xiao Ran coming in, and when she saw the empty bowl stacked in Xiao Ran's hand, she quickly wiped her hands with a scarf and hurriedly wanted to take it.
Xiao Ran naturally didn't give it to her, he directly put the bowl in the scrubbing pool, and rolled up his sleeves to brush the bowl by the way.
But seeing this, Cai Mingyu refused no matter what, she pushed and dragged Xiao Ran out of the back kitchen.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran looked helpless, so he had to dispel the idea of washing the dishes.
However, before going out of the back kitchen, he thought about it for a while, and finally said to Sister Cai seriously:
"Sister Cai, I believe that this store will become popular sooner or later, you must insist, I said that I will invest in opening a branch in the future, and I am also serious."
"I did what I said, I had the name of the branch in mind, and it was called "The Story of Small Noodles"."
