On June 16th, the weather was fine.

The two met in Times Square as usual.

When Han Jing came, he carried a handbag, Jiang Chengwen glanced at it, and asked, "What did you bring?" ”

Han Jing raised her head and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Jiang Chengwen sighed, spread his hands and said, "Don't tell me, forget it, I'm not curious." ”

"Eat powder, eat powder!"

The two of them walked towards Uncle Li's noodle shop.

When he was about to reach the door, Han Jing raised his head and took a look, but he was stunned for a moment.

The shop next to Uncle Li's noodle shop was still being renovated when I came last time, but now it has been renovated.

There is a signboard hanging on the storefront - [Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant]

Han Jing turned her head to look at Jiang Chengwen and said, "You said last time that this is a noodle restaurant, right?" ”

Jiang Chengwen nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

"You're really right."

Han Jing was a little surprised and said, "It's open next to Uncle Li's noodle shop, and this can't rob a lot of business." ”

Jiang Chengwen looked at the [Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant], but didn't say anything, but he had already thought of a possibility in his heart.

"Let's go, eat powder."

The two of them walked into Uncle Li's noodle shop.

saw Uncle Li sitting in a corner of the noodle restaurant, with a little sadness on his face.

"Uncle Li!" Han Jing said hello.

Uncle Li came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "Yo, here, sit down." ”

Uncle Li got up and walked over, beckoning the two of them to sit down.

"Still the same?"

"Yes, two bowls of mutton powder."

"Cheng, wait."

After saying that, Uncle Li went to cook noodles.

Jiang Chengwen sat next to Han Jing, turned his head to take a look, but saw that there was a lot less business in the noodle restaurant today.

"There's a lot less customers." Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing said: "I guess it's because of the newly opened noodle restaurant next to it, but with Uncle Li's craftsmanship, the next door shouldn't be able to do it, and you will know it as soon as you have a long time in the world." ”

Jiang Chengwen said: "Not necessarily ......"

"I said, dog, which side are you standing on?" Han Jing asked.

Jiang Chengwen said: "Of course I am on Uncle Li's side, but the situation may be worse than we imagined." ”

Han Jing blinked, a little puzzled.

Jiang Chengwen said: "When we came last time, Uncle Li was a little wrong, if it was just because there was a noodle restaurant next door, a cheerful person like Uncle Li would not be so sad." ”

"Do you remember that apprentice in Uncle Li's shop?" Jiang Chengwen asked.

Han Jing said: "Just the one before? ”

"Yes." Jiang Chengwen said: "If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Li called that little apprentice before, and he always called Xiao Song, and the signboard of the noodle restaurant next to it is Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant." ”

"You mean ......"

Han Jing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "The apprentice starved to death the master? ”

Jiang Chengwen nodded and said, "It's possible." ”

Han Jing's brows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart.

"How can there be such a reason!"

Jiang Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After eating in a while, we'll go over and take a look." ”

After a while, Uncle Li brought the mutton powder.

"The powder is coming."

Uncle Li still greeted him with a smile, but he could see at a glance that his smile was a little far-fetched, and he was still smiling when he hid things in his heart.

This is the inner stubbornness of their kind of people.

The two of them started eating noodles, but they didn't ask about it.

Uncle Li didn't sit down and chat like before, but went back to his old position and sat down.

Jiang Chengwen said: "Eat." ”

"Hmmm......"

Han Jing nodded, and then ate the noodles, but she was a little absent-minded, and she didn't eat much noodles.

When the food was almost finished, Jiang Chengwen shouted Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, check out!"

"Come on."

Uncle Li stepped forward, wiped his hands, and then accepted Jiang Chengwen's money, and then gave change.

He glanced at the noodle bowl and said, "Didn't you make it delicious today?" Didn't finish eating? ”

Han Jing shook her head and said, "Without Uncle Li, my appetite is not very good today, it's not that you don't make it delicious." ”

Uncle Li said: "Eh, tell me if it's not delicious, I'll just get you a bowl again, they're all old friends, there's nothing to be embarrassed to say." ”

"It's really not delicious, Uncle Li, don't you know your craftsmanship, how can it be delicious."

"What do you say......"

Uncle Li smiled and said, "If you like to eat, you can come often." ”

"Done."

Han Jing and Jiang Chengwen stood up and said, "Then let's go Uncle Li first." ”

"Okay, I'll come back next time."

Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing got up and walked out of the noodle shop.

Uncle Li sent it.

After Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing went around, they waited until Uncle Li entered the noodle shop and came back again.

The two of them stopped in front of the [Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant], glanced at each other and walked in.

There are a lot of people in the noodle shop, which is on par with Uncle Li.

The two of them sat down when a man in his thirties in an apron walked over.

The man said, "What are you two going to eat?" There are menus on the wall. ”

Jiang Chengwen raised his head and took a look, and saw that the menu was not much different from Uncle Li's house next door.

Small noodles, pea noodles, mutton noodles, fat intestine noodles......

Uncle Li has it over there, and it has it here, and it has dropped by one dollar.

"Let's have two bowls of mutton powder." Jiang Chengwen said.

"Okay, you two, wait a minute."

The man made a note and headed to the back kitchen.

Han Jing withdrew her gaze from the menu and said, "Their family has one dollar less than Uncle Li's noodles." ”

"It's all down."

"Hmm."

Jiang Chengwen frowned and said, "It looks like it was copied directly." ”

"Wait for the powder to come up and try it."

The two of them sat and waited for a while, and after a while, the man from before came over with mutton powder.

"It's your first time."

The man looked at the two of them and smiled: "Our mutton powder is the most distinctive, you two can try it." ”

"Okay."

Jiang Chengwen smiled warmly, and then picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

The same goes for Han Jing.

However, Han Jing was stunned after tasting it.

'This tastes ......'

It's exactly the same as Uncle Li's family.

Han Jing glanced down at the noodles in the bowl, and then raised his head to look at Jiang Chengwen.

Jiang Chengwen also tasted it, gave Han Jing a look, and asked her not to speak yet.

"It tastes good."

Jiang Chengwen looked at the man beside him and asked, "I've been here many times before, and I haven't seen your store, you guys are newly opened, right?" ”

"yes, it's only been a short time." The man laughed.

"I'll tell you."

Jiang Chengwen said with a smile: "Boss, your craftsmanship is indeed good, mutton powder is worthy of being a feature." ”

The man waved his hand and said, "No, no, the powder is cooked by the master in the store, how can I have this ability." ”

"Is that so...... Then this master's craftsmanship is really good. ”

"That's it." The boss smiled.

Jiang Chengwen smiled, but his voice changed, and he said, "I said boss, can you have a discussion?" ”

"What?" The boss asked.

Jiang Chengwen said: "I rarely come out, but the taste of your powder is really good, can you let that master teach me, I don't need to teach it all, I can make a rough taste, I eat it myself at home." ”

"This ......"

The boss said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to be exactly the same." ”

Jiang Chengwen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just make a rough taste, just let the master teach me two hands." ”

The boss smiled and said, "I can't say for sure, the master is willing to teach, so I'll call him out, you ask." ”

"Then it's a hassle for the boss."

"Small."

The boss stepped into the back kitchen.

Han Jing looked at Jiang Chengwen and asked, "Could it be Uncle Li's apprentice?" ”

"We'll know when we meet." Jiang Chengwen said.

The boss led the noodle cooks in the shop to come out.

When he was in the back kitchen, he also specially told him to teach him a way to make a difference, so that he not only showed his generosity, but also retained customers.

Xiao Song followed the boss out, but when he saw the two people sitting at the table, he was stunned for a moment.

The boss said: "It's this little brother, he wants to learn from you." ”

Xiao Song looked at Jiang Chengwen and couldn't help but smack his lips.

Of course he recognized it.

Han Jing looked at Xiao Song and couldn't help frowning.

Really!

Jiang Chengwen remained silent, turned his head to look at the boss and said, "This master is so young?" ”

The boss patted Xiao Song on the shoulder and said, "Although the master in our shop is a little younger, his craftsmanship is not bad at all. ”

"That is, indeed."

Jiang Chengwen said: "I think he is delicious when I hold it in my mouth, and the master is really good at craftsmanship." ”

Xiao Song didn't understand why Jiang Chengwen pretended not to know him.

But he still replied honestly: "Okay, it's delicious." ”

"It's not your average tasty."

Jiang Chengwen looked at him and said: "The craftsmanship is really good, I see that you are so young, master, you should have learned from other masters, I don't know which one, can you tell me about it?" I want to pay a visit. ”

"I ......"

Xiao Song opened his mouth, and he couldn't answer.

He still has some self-esteem, and he is not embarrassed to answer Jiang Chengwen's words.

The boss on the side smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not good?" ”

"Ahh

Jiang Chengwen said: "It's the same, I'm abrupt, this really can't be said, and you can't do business if you say it." ”

His eyes looked at Xiao Song and said, "You said yes, little master?" ”

Xiao Song looked at him, and when he saw Jiang Chengwen's gaze, he didn't dare to look at him.

Can't say ......

Xiao Song replied vaguely: "Hmm." ”

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Chengwen's gaze again.

Jiang Chengwen's voice changed, and said: "The master who taught you is really powerful, otherwise the little master can't learn so well, it looks like it's a good teaching, it's not easy to meet a noble person this year, the little master has to grasp it, learn more, so the noodle restaurant is booming, and the boss is happy, right?" ”

The boss laughed when he heard this, and said, "I borrowed your good words." ”

The boss didn't understand, but Xiao Song's heart was like a mirror, he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, and he didn't even dare to agree.

Han Jing raised her head and glanced at Xiao Song and said, "Why is the little master lowering his head?" ”

Xiao Song didn't speak, but the boss on the side patted him and said, "Your back is straight!" ”

"Ah, okay."

Xiao Song raised his head, and when the two eyes fell on him, he felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

"That's right."

Han Jing said: "You have to raise your head to be a good person, and you have to lower your head as if you have done something wrong." ”

This sentence pierced Xiao Song's heart like a knife.

Xiao Song gritted his teeth, looked at the boss beside him and said, "Boss, I still have soup in the back kitchen, I, I'll go in first." ”

"Well, this ......," said the boss, "no one has asked yet." ”

"It's fine."

Jiang Chengwen said: "If the little master is busy, then go and get busy first, and it's the same to ask after you're done later." ”

"How bad is that...... boss laughed.

"It's fine."

Jiang Chengwen said, looked at Xiao Song and said: "Everyone is busy, and they are also particular about making soup, some soups, don't stare at it, but some soups, don't stare at ......."

"He's broken!"

Xiao Song was stunned again when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Chengwen continued: "However, some of the bad soup may be remedied, and some are a bad mess, but I don't know what kind of soup the little master is boiling." ”

He looked at Xiao Song, but Xiao Song didn't dare to look at him.

Xiao Song didn't want to stay any longer, turned his head to look at the boss and said, "...... I went in first. ”

"Eh, you ......"

The boss saw that Xiao Song didn't say anything, and swept him towards the back kitchen.

He looked at the two guests and said, "I'm sorry. ”

"It's fine."

Jiang Chengwen smiled, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said, "I've eaten almost as well." ”

"Huh?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the table, the noodles in the bowl didn't move.

"Won't you eat it?"

"Well, it's a bit urgent, I'll eat it next time."

Jiang Chengwen took out the money, handed it to the boss, and said, "Let's make change." ”

……

The entrance of the noodle restaurant.

The boss watched the two men drift away, and then looked down at the front of him.

He couldn't help but wrinkle, thinking to himself how strange these two men were.

"Didn't you say learn to make noodles?"

The boss shook his head, didn't think much about it, and turned back to the noodle shop.
