Chapter 7 Chapter 7

After the exam, Zheng Ke returned to Pingchang Noodle House.

Bai Yuan Pingchang is nearly seventy years old and has no children. They all rely on Pingchang Noodle Shop.

After Zheng Ke came back from the exam, he and his wife Yoko Kashiwahara did not talk to Zheng Ke about the exam.Because in their eyes, Yuanyue Academy is an extremely sacred place, and they never had any hope that Zheng Ke could be admitted to this school.Even Zheng Ke's cooking level far exceeds them.

However, for Zheng Ke, this "Tour to Yuanyue Academy" has brought him a lot of rewards.

The days passed as usual. Zheng Ke opened the door of the noodle shop at nearly 7 o'clock, and then picked up the broom to clean up.At this time, a black car suddenly stopped in front of the noodle shop, and three people got out of the car, wearing suits and leather shoes.

"Excuse me, did you just open the door?" The middle-aged man in charge said with a smile.

"Yes, what do you three eat?" Zheng Ke asked with a smile.

"We don't eat, we're looking for people. Well, the old couple who live here. Are you their son?"

The man had a scar on his face, but March was wearing a flowered shirt with two buttons undone on the top, revealing a golden necklace.

"I'm not, I'm Chinese and working here."

"Then let the old couple come out. We have important things to talk about."

Very important?
Zheng Ke felt something in his heart. If the matter was important, the old couple would definitely tell him. However, the entrance exam for Totsuki Academy has been over for a week. After such a long time, he has not heard the Kashiwahara couple mention this matter.

Just when Zheng Ke was feeling puzzled, Bai Yuanping's long voice came from his ear.

"Go away! How many times have I said, our store will not close!"

Zheng Ke turned his head, but saw Bai Yuanping looking at the middle-aged man who was talking angrily.

"Uncle, don't say that. There is really no need for a small shop like yours to exist. It's very dishonest to rely on cheap raw materials to lower prices." The middle-aged man in a floral shirt said with a smile.

"Is it because you are too greedy? A bowl of ordinary chow mein costs 800 yen. It's no wonder someone pays for such a price!" Bai Yuanping long gritted his teeth, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"You two old people, don't you want to enjoy the family happiness? You really don't know how to enjoy the blessings when you are so old and you have to work hard. I will give you a sum of money and you will close the door immediately. How about it? Uncle, I hope you will come again think about it."

The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Uncle, if you figure it out, give me a call. Remember, it's only today."

"To tell you the truth, even if I die, I won't close this noodle shop! If I die, Zheng Ke will take over."

(I?)
Zheng Ke didn't know if Bai Yuanping was confused, and he even mentioned himself.However, Zheng Ke still has self-knowledge, and Bai Yuanpingchang must be just talking casually.

"Since you are stubborn, uncle, don't blame me for not reminding you. My boss will come tomorrow. If he thinks that your restaurant cannot cook delicious food, he may use some tough methods. As for what kind of methods , you will know tomorrow."

There were two cold lights in the eyes of the middle-aged man. Although there was still a smile on his face, everyone who saw his gaze felt a little chill.

"Wait, you're saying that as long as we can make delicious dishes, you can stop, right?" Zheng Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and looked at Zheng Ke who was standing beside Bai Yuanping, "Yes. You don't think you can cook any delicious dishes, do you? Kid, have you ever held a kitchen knife? Do you know what is delicious? It's ridiculous for an apprentice from a noodle shop to say such things to me."

The black-clothed bodyguards on both sides of the middle-aged man also showed a contemptuous smile. For a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, at best, he was cooking instant noodles.

"You don't need to worry about these. I just ask you, are you in charge of what you just said?" Zheng Ke asked.

"My boss said it himself, what do you think? However, my boss also said that he only wants to eat noodles." The middle-aged man said with a smile, adding another condition at the last moment.

Compared with other dishes, pasta is too simple, and because noodles are used as ingredients, it is extremely easy to fill the stomach.Without the feeling of hunger, even the most delicious food can't arouse people's appetite
Zheng Ke let out a long breath, grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulders and said, "Great, I was wondering what to do if you go back on your promises? Since your boss agrees, you should be able to keep your word, right?"

The middle-aged man reached out to remove Zheng Ke's hand, and said with a look of disgust, "Tomorrow you will know your ignorance."

"I'll return the original words. I'll let you taste what is called delicious pasta tomorrow."

Seeing the confident Zheng Ke, the middle-aged man suddenly lost his confidence and said with a dry smile, "Okay, since you said so, let me look forward to your delicious food tomorrow."

When the middle-aged man led the two big men away, Zheng Ke's body suddenly relaxed, and only then did he feel that his back was soaked in sweat.

After the middle-aged man's rhetoric, Zheng Ke roughly understood what happened.

For some reason, the middle-aged man wanted to close the Pingchang noodle restaurant, but the Kashiwahara couple firmly disagreed, which provoked him.It's just that Zheng Ke has lived here for three weeks, but he has never heard the two old people mention this matter.Did it happen during his exam?

The more Zheng Ke thought about it, the more he felt it was a possibility.

However, Zheng Ke also felt that the two old people's thoughts were obviously not on money, otherwise they would not have rejected it without listening to the price.

Bai Yuanping sat on the chair for a long time and did not relax for a long time.

In the end, his wife was the first to speak: "Zheng Ke, I...you shouldn't get involved. This matter has nothing to do with you..."

"No, I was too reckless in this matter. I obviously didn't get the consent of the two of you, and I bet with him so willfully."

Zheng Ke said piously that his behavior just now was indeed very reckless, after all, this noodle shop was the brainchild of two old people.It is really wrong to bet with a middle-aged man without the consent of the two of them.

"You can't say that, even if you don't bet with him, he won't let go of this shop, it's just a matter of one day sooner or later." Bai Yuanping said with a long sigh.

Zheng Ke brought him a cup of tea, "By the way, Grandpa, did something happen during the few days I left?"

After drinking tea, Bai Yuan finally looked better, and nodded, "This kind of thing... well, if you are admitted to Yuanyue Academy, my wife and I will have nothing to worry about. If there is no noodle shop, what should you do?" Do it?"

Zheng Ke smiled awkwardly, and now Yuanyue Academy has not responded, so he can't say much.

"Old man, why don't you tell me? Xiao Ke is not an outsider, and since Xiao Ke has agreed to the bet, he should know the whole story." Yoko Kashiwahara said from the side.

Bai Yuan's expression changed slightly, he sighed, thought over and over again, and finally told the story.

"You know the Longyuan noodle restaurant on this street, right?"

"know."

Longyuan Noodle House is located in the busiest part of this street, with a lot of traffic and pedestrians every day.But it is such a noodle shop, the business has not been very good.However, Zheng Ke heard that the owner of Longyuan Noodle Restaurant has other businesses and is not focused on the noodle restaurant.

"Could it be that the person just now belongs to Longyuan Noodle Restaurant?" Zheng Ke asked in surprise.

"Yeah, but recently I heard that the boss there lost money in business. So I shifted my energy to the noodle shop. But their business has not been good. Most of the customers have come to our shop, especially when you come After that, people from far away will run over. So, they want us to close the noodle shop.”

Bai Yuanping's face flushed red, and he remembered what happened before.

"What a bunch of bastards, I will never let this happen and gamble my chef's future."

However, having said that, how to make pasta more delicious is indeed a difficult problem.More importantly, for ordinary people, pasta is inferior to other materials in terms of texture and taste.There are no various flavors of vegetables, nor the aroma of meat.

Whether a dish is delicious or not depends not only on the skills of the chef, but also on the ingredients and spices.

If you want to win in terms of taste, you must work hard on the ingredients. The most common way is to mix eggs with noodles to make egg noodles. This kind of noodles is light and delicious, soft and tough, and it is an ideal ingredient. .

But compared with the ultimate deliciousness, it is still not enough.For this reason, Zheng Ke has already considered whether to add some ingredients or spices to the noodles.

Zheng Ke was busy until late at night, and finally prepared the ingredients he needed.
