The ground was wet, Chen Yan rolled up his trousers, grabbed the dirty rabbit that had already rolled on the ground, and threw it directly into the wooden basin that caught the water.
The rabbit fell into the water and immediately kicked its limbs in panic.Chen Yan felt sorry for it, so he had to pick it up again.
The dirty rabbit looked at Chen Yan with disgust, and since it didn't want to take a bath, Chen Yan had no choice but to let it run around.
"Don't bother with it anymore." Seeing that he was staring at the rabbit, Li Maoshan said helplessly.
"I don't think it's dirty." Chen Yan responded, but his eyes followed Li Maoshan, watching him change into a set of old clothes and tie his trousers, so he asked, "Brother Shan, what are you going to do?"
"It has been raining for three days. I have to go to the field to have a look. I am afraid that a lot of water has accumulated in the field. I have to let some of it go, otherwise the crops will be destroyed." Li Maoshan explained and went to fetch The coir raincoat is draped over the body.
Chen Yan glanced at the rain outside, frowned and said, "It's raining so hard, if you go now, you'll get wet."
"It's okay. If it's later, I'm afraid the water will accumulate more and more." Li Maoshan straightened up, covered up his clothes as much as possible, and then turned around and told Chen Yan: "Stay at home honestly and don't go out. If you get wet Yu is sick, let me teach you a lesson."
Seeing his serious appearance, Chen Yan said disapprovingly, "You should take care of yourself more. If you get sick from the rain, I will let you take bitter medicine every day."
The two talked a few words, and Chen Yan urged again: "Go early and come back early, pay attention to safety."
Li Maoshan responded and went out the door.
Chen Yan watched his figure disappear into the rain, and stood at the door for a long time, until the rain drifted in with the wind, and the coolness woke him up.
He turned around and went to the kitchen, thinking about what to cook to reward the hardworking brother Shan.
The wet weather made people depressed for several days, and finally saw the sunshine.
The ground has been soaked by rain for a long time, and when the weather clears up, the villagers immediately get busy.
Li Maoshan repaired the roof again, and the two of them had a very uncomfortable life because of water leakage these few days.When the sun clears, the first thing to do is to quickly repair the house.
Chen Yan took out the clothes and bedding in the house to dry.After being busy for half a day, he found a chair to sit in the yard, and cleaned the mold for himself.
When Li Maoshan came down from repairing the roof, Chen Yan had already fallen asleep leaning on the chair.
The sun shines on Chen Yan with a warm feeling, and the golden light reflects the beautiful young man, giving people a warm picture.
Li Maoshan put down his manual tools, washed his hands with some well water, then picked him up and put him on the bed.
As soon as he touched the bed, Chen Yan opened his eyes in a daze.He squinted his eyes at Li Maoshan and curled his lips, put his hands around Li Maoshan's neck, and called out softly, "Brother Shan!"
The boy who just woke up had a nasal voice, and Li Maoshan couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed him with such an intimate call.
"Go to sleep again."
"Well, Brother Shan sleeps together."
The boy was acting coquettishly, hugging the person and refusing to let go.
Li Maoshan had no choice but to take off his shoes and go to bed, the two cuddled each other and took a nap.
Today, the affairs at home were temporarily over, so Li Maoshan took Chen Yan to the county seat again.
Li Maoshan was thinking about going to the old man to buy some medicine, while Chen Yan was thinking about Uncle Zhou's business.
This time when they came to the county seat, the two took a car from the same villager and entered the county seat.So as soon as they entered the city, the two had to walk slowly on their legs.
Along the way, the two were not in a hurry.Maybe it's because the sky has cleared up, and the county town is actually more lively than usual.Walking and watching, Chen Yan felt the difference of this county for the first time.
Many children ran past merrily, some accidentally bumped into Chen Yan's lap.The little fat pier looked up at him, and Chen Yan helped him, only thinking that the chubby child was really cute.
Seeing that the person hadn't followed, the child who ran away turned around and urged, and the little chubby followed with a blushing face.
"Why is it so lively?"
Chen Yan looked at the crowd around him, and the endless hawking attracted his attention even more.
Li Maoshan thought about it for a while, and then he remembered what day it was, "It's fifteen, and there is a temple fair today." He didn't come to the county often, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Hearing that there was a temple fair, Chen Yan's eyes lit up.
"Don't you want to go to Uncle Zhou?" Li Maoshan reminded, seeing him hesitant, he had to say: "The temple fair will be more lively at night."
"Okay, let's go to Uncle Zhou's for a while first, and then go to the temple fair later." Chen Yan looked at Li Maoshan with a smile, and when Li Maoshan agreed, he was about to pounce on him and cheer.
The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at West Market, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of Zhou Ji Noodle Shop from a distance.
"Huh, Uncle Zhou's business is so good?" Chen Yan was very excited, "Uncle Zhou's business is booming, Brother Shan, we should have money."
36. Chapter 36
Compared to Chen Yan's happiness, Uncle Zhou has a lot of headaches.
There are quite a few people in front of Zhouji Noodle House, but they are not here to eat noodles, but to watch the excitement.
Since Uncle Zhou learned a new recipe from Chen Yan, the fried sauce noodle recipe that is different from that of the noodle restaurant opposite has really won back many diners.
At the beginning, the diners were also curious about the fried sauce noodles of the two noodle restaurants, and there were diners on both sides to taste them.Although each has its own merits, the diners are more familiar with Uncle Zhou.
Seeing that Uncle Zhou can also make delicious fried noodles, diners naturally began to patronize Zhouji Noodle Restaurant.
After going back and forth like this, the business of the two noodle restaurants has become more and more prosperous for Uncle Zhou, while the business of the other side has dropped a lot.For diners, the two noodle restaurants have noodles with fried sauce, so there are few people there and there are few seats to go there.
Uncle Zhou was very satisfied with the patronage of the diners, and his business was booming, which naturally made the two elders extremely happy.
However, within a few days of being happy, the owner of the noodle shop opposite couldn't sit still.The culinary skills that were originally only known by his family are no longer unique. The boss thought that Uncle Zhou and the others stole his family's skills.
It's just that although the boss is dissatisfied, he is not aggressive.He didn't directly question Uncle Zhou's stealing teacher, but only proposed a competition between the two companies, and whoever wins can continue to sell fried noodles in West Market.
At this time, the boss was standing in front of Zhouji Noodle Shop with a few shop assistants. Behind him, diners from the two families and passers-by were shouting out of curiosity.
"I said, Lao Zhou, you can't be cowardly about this matter." Lao Bao from the dry goods store next door pushed aside the crowd and came to Uncle Zhou, cheering for Uncle Zhou at the top of his voice, "Old Zhou, we have been neighbors for so many years, but we are all optimistic about it." You kill this old bald donkey from out of town."
The word "old bald donkey" immediately made the onlookers burst into laughter.
The old bald donkey refers to the owner of the noodle restaurant opposite. The owner's surname is Lu, and he is about the same age as Uncle Zhou and others, but because of his bald head, Lao Bao gave him such an vivid title.
Boss Lu's complexion changed when someone said that, but he is very well-bred.He just glared at Lao Bao, then turned his head to look at Uncle Zhou who had been silent all the time, "I said, brother, look at our two noodle shops facing each other, it would be bad if we continue to compete for business from each other."
Uncle Zhou glanced at the crowd around him, most of them were his familiar neighbors, and a small part were strangers.
"I don't think it's bad." He said slowly, with a calm expression on his face, "Brother Lu, you see that your noodle shop can't handle so many diners, brother, I'm kind enough to share some for you, isn't it that we are mutually beneficial? It's pretty good."
"Hehe." Boss Lu sneered, "Brother, what you said, seems like I'm a petty brother. Look at the whole street, how many two are doing the same kind of business. Now there are two noodle restaurants all of a sudden. Selling fried noodles, my brother is deliberately running on my brother."
"Old bald donkey, when you opened the noodle restaurant, why didn't you think that your behavior has already hindered Lao Zhou's business." Lao Bao couldn't listen anymore, so he rushed to curse at Boss Lu before Uncle Zhou could speak, "If it wasn't for You opened a noodle restaurant opposite Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou has been doing a good business for decades, how could you almost lose customers because of you?"
"But this is a job that depends on one's ability. Brother, the noodles in your shop are delicious, but if you eat the same noodles every day for decades, people will get tired of it."
The second half of Boss Lu's sentence was aimed at the crowd of onlookers. As soon as he finished speaking, many people echoed him.
"That's right, Lao Zhou, we eat egg noodles and beef noodles every day, and we've long since gotten tired of it."
"Uncle Zhou's noodles are delicious, but it's easy to get bored if you eat them often."
"However, Uncle Zhou's fabrics are quite affordable..."
“Jajiangmen is delicious!”
……
The onlookers first discussed which kind of noodle was delicious and affordable.
"Brother, you have also seen that this fried noodles is really delicious, and everyone likes it too. But for the sake of our long-term harmonious relationship, let's have a small competition."
Boss Lu challenged Uncle Zhou again with a smile on his face.
He is not stupid, even though they are both fried noodles, the tastes of the two are somewhat different.It would be of no benefit to him, a foreigner, if he said bluntly that Uncle Zhou stole his teacher.
The neighbors in this neighborhood must have more trust in Uncle Zhou than in themselves.
Therefore, Boss Lu came here with an invitation for the competition. In this way, he will have a fair and aboveboard competition, and if he wins, he can give his noodle restaurant a greater reputation.
One fell swoop, he has considered very fully.At this moment, as long as Uncle Zhou accepts the competition, Boss Lu has full confidence that he can win the competition.
Uncle Zhou actually considered that the new method he learned from Chen Yan would arouse doubts on the other side, but he didn't expect this person to be calm, and he didn't say that he stole the teacher, but directly proposed a competition.
Amo Zhou stood behind Uncle Zhou, held Uncle Zhou's hand, and silently supported him.
Uncle Zhou smiled back at Ama Zhou, and Uncle Zhou benefited greatly from his wife's full trust.He looked at Boss Lu and said, "It's okay to compete, and it won't make people think that I, Lao Zhou, stole your skills."
"Stealing or not, we each know what we know, and we don't argue about this skill today." Seeing that Uncle Zhou agreed, Boss Lu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since everyone has their own skills, let's compare them." Other handicrafts."
"How do you compare?" Uncle Zhou asked.
"Since my brother knows how to make noodles in many ways, let's compare noodles that everyone has never seen before." Boss Lu shouted, his scalp was shining brightly in the sun, with a confident smile on his face, and he looked at it with leisure time. Uncle Zhou.
"Noodles that haven't been cooked before?" Uncle Zhou frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Little old man, I don't have any hobbies in my life. I just want to eat noodles." Boss Lu said unhurriedly. , then he must also be a person who likes to make different pasta, and there must be some unique skills in private."
Without waiting for Uncle Zhou to respond, Boss Lu raised his voice and said, "Now let's compare, whoever's unique skills are more popular with the neighbors, then whoever is the winner."
Following Boss Lu's words, Uncle Zhou's complexion became serious.
"What does brother mean?"
"My brother is not talented. He spent decades developing a kind of noodle cake." Boss Lu raised his hand while talking, and a clerk behind him took out a piece of noodle cake from the basket he was carrying. "This is my noodle cake. The noodle cake that has just been successfully developed is not only easy to eat, delicious, but also easy to store and carry.”
Following Boss Lu's words, the crowd immediately looked at the bread in the clerk's hand.
Uncle Zhou carefully looked at the noodle cake. The noodle cake was square and thinner than the noodles they usually ate. The color was not off-white like flour, but a little golden.
A whole biscuit is dry and hard, and it will not deform when held in the hand.
Everyone was very curious about this piece of bread, and some people couldn't wait to ask how to eat it.
Boss Lu was very satisfied with everyone's curiosity. He took the noodle cake from the clerk and said, "Let me explain the way to eat this noodle cake."
Uncle Zhou looked at the bread that was handed to him, frowned and did not take it.
This kind of bread that had never been seen before made Zhou Amo equally frightened. He grabbed the corner of Uncle Zhou's clothes, full of worry.
Seeing that he was motionless, Boss Lu smiled and called out, "Brother."
"Uncle Zhou."
Just when everyone was equally curious about how to eat noodles and was in a dilemma with Uncle Zhou, Chen Yan walked out from the crowd of onlookers.He walked up to Uncle Zhou, took the bread from Boss Lu's hand with a smile, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently.
"The deep-fried noodles are quite good." Chen Yan broke off a small noodle and chewed it in his mouth a few times. And the smell of eggs."
Boss Lu's face changed when he heard the words, Chen Yan smiled and broke another one to taste, and added: "There should be corn flour added. Are you right?"
"Brother Yan." Seeing Chen Yan, Zhou Ahma immediately swept away the heavy expression just now, and called out hastily.
Uncle Zhou was very surprised by Chen Yan's appearance. He saw Li Maoshan following Chen Yan. Although he was surprised at the timing of their appearance, the words Chen Yan said while holding the bread made him feel at ease.
"Uncle Zhou, Ah Zhou." Li Maoshan and Chen Yanchong greeted them.
"It's a coincidence that you came here." Uncle Zhou said with a smile.
"We just came to join in the fun, isn't it just a coincidence."
Chen Yan and Li Maoshan had watched for a while earlier, and they already understood what happened.
When Boss Lu saw that the person who appeared suddenly was an acquaintance from Uncle Zhou's side, his expression was a little strange.
He stabilized his mind, although the young brother could immediately tell the special features of this pancake, he was not flustered.
"This little brother has good eyesight, and he can tell that my pancakes have been deep-fried."
"What's the matter." Seeing him talking to him, Chen Yan shifted his gaze to Boss Lu, and he opened his mouth to confirm: "I just heard that this boss is going to compete with Uncle Zhou, and the bet is that whoever wins can continue. Doing business in the West Market?"
Boss Lu saw that this guy was very good-looking, and when he glanced at him with bright eyes, he still had a charming demeanor.He traveled all over the world for so many years, but it was the first time he saw a beautiful boy who could stand in the middle of a group of men without fear and talk to him like this.
"That's right." Boss Lu nodded and replied, "Brother sells the same noodles as me, so it's natural to compare them to see which one is more suitable to gain a foothold in this West Market."
Chen Yan got his answer and smiled.The young boy was already beautiful, his lips raised slightly in a seductive arc, and his clean and pure smile dazzled the crowd of onlookers.
Li Maoshan glanced at the people around him with some displeasure, and stretched out his hand to hook Chen Yan's shoulder.Chen Yan looked back at him inexplicably, Li Maoshan just smiled.
"Well, I'll show you how to eat this pancake for Uncle Zhou." Chen Yan looked at Boss Lu again, and took over the competition confidently.
37. Chapter 37
Holding the piece of instant noodles in his hand, Chen Yan couldn't help mocking in his heart that the old bald man had the guts to compete with Uncle Zhou.
Ordinary people may not know how to cook instant noodles, but for Chen Yan, this kind of junk food is really boring.
He looked at the pancake in his hand with some distaste, wondering what ingredients could be added to the instant noodles that only had pancakes and no seasonings, so he heard the other party yell, "Wait a minute."
"Why, are you scared?" Chen Yan snorted coldly when he saw the other party's expression turned pale.
"Little old man, I'm looking for a competition with Brother Zhou. You don't know where you came from, so you threatened to take the competition for Old Brother Zhou. Don't talk big."
Boss Lu said sarcastically, his eyes kept sizing up Chen Yan and Uncle Zhou.
"Oh, I said old bald donkey, are you afraid that someone will make you a little brother." On the side, Lao Bao jumped out again to sarcastically go back, and his words attracted whispers from the surrounding people.
Boss Lu's face darkened, he glared at Lao Bao, and said impatiently, "How can I be afraid of a brother. It's just that this brother's origin is unknown, so I have to ask for his identity."
"What's the matter? I didn't see someone called Uncle Zhou. It's obvious that he is a nephew." Lao Bao saw that Boss Lu was upset for a long time, so he couldn't make him feel proud all the time.From Chen Yan's talk about the specialness of the bread, Lao Bao rejoiced in his heart that finally someone could cure this arrogant old bald donkey.
Ah Zhou stepped forward at this time and introduced Chen Yan and the others to the crowd, "This is our old Zhou's proud nephew, who grew up watching him when he was young." The conversation changed, and he asked Boss Lu again: "Could it be that Boss Lu? Do you look down on a brother?"
As soon as Zhou Ahmo said this, people around immediately began to criticize Boss Lu.
"What's wrong with my brother? Is my brother worse than a man?"
"That's right, everyone just lives on the food cooked by my brother."
"Brother Ren is good-looking and knows how to make noodles, which is rare."
"Little brother, go and cook the noodles, we want to taste what is so special about this cake."
……
Chen Yan saw that Boss Lu's complexion became even uglier due to the people around him, and he was secretly happy, but he said politely on his face: "I learned crafts from Uncle Zhou when I was a child, not to mention ten percent of it, but it's enough. Fight for Uncle Zhou and his old man."
"Of course, I'm still very proud of Brother Yan's craftsmanship, old man."
Uncle Zhou echoed from the side, and even praised how great the statement was, which aroused people's curiosity even more.
"Hmph, since that's the case, if you lose, don't say that the old man is bullying a little brother." Boss Lu was very upset when he saw that the crowd seemed to be on Uncle Zhou's side.
With a sullen face, he turned his hands away, and said to Chen Yan and the others, "Come with me. Brother Zhou's noodle restaurant is too small. You should go to our noodle restaurant. We won't be able to accommodate everyone."
As he spoke, he glanced at Uncle Zhou's small noodle restaurant with disgust, then turned around with disgust, and walked towards their noodle restaurant.
Ah Zhou pulled Chen Yan back and whispered, "Brother Yan, do you really know how to cook this stuff?" It wasn't that he doubted Chen Yan, but he was afraid that if something went wrong, their house would be closed.
Chen Yan showed a confident smile at Zhou Ah, and at the same time comforted: "Zhou Ah, don't worry, the taste of noodles is not only in the noodles, sometimes the side dishes are the icing on the cake. The recipes are similar, it depends on whose The side dishes go better with the noodles.”
"You heard what brother Yan said just now, and the fried noodles that brother Yan taught us. Old man Lu is a bit jealous of us, so don't worry about it." Uncle Zhou stepped forward to hold Zhou Amo, "this If it were me, I would not be able to tell you how to make the bread. We will see what Yan Geer does later, and you can just watch from the sidelines with peace of mind."
Uncle Zhou was very optimistic about Chen Yan, and entrusted this competition to Chen Yan with all his trust.
Chen Yan responded with a smile, while Li Maoshan took Chen Yan's other free hand and asked in a low voice: "Then what are you going to use to fight back against that Boss Lu?"
The competition was a pasta dish for one person, and Chen Yan really didn't think of this pasta dish for counterattack.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at him expectantly, Chen Yan had no choice but to say, "Don't be impatient, I will guarantee to win the competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly asked the system for help in his heart.
[Hurry up and give me some noodles that can be sold. 】
The system was silent, just heard Chen Yan's heartfelt voice, and threw him a noodle recipe.
Chen Yan blinked, and searched for noodles that could be used in his mind as he walked.
In addition to Zhajiang noodles, there are braised noodles, hot dry noodles, pot cover noodles, knife-sliced noodles, Dandan noodles, ramen noodles, Pianerchuan noodles, cold noodles, and Okuzao noodles in the top ten noodles.
If you want to show off your craftsmanship, ramen is a good choice.But in terms of taste, Chen Yan prefers to eat Pianerchuan.
However, thinking of the skills that can bluff people, Chen Yan felt that Longxu Noodles was a good choice.
While Chen Yan was still thinking about which kind of noodle was more cool, Boss Lu had already brought everyone to the stove.
Boss Lu doesn't look like a good-looking guy, but his brain is very easy to use.
Chen Yan stared at the big teppanyaki stove in front of him, and was stunned for a while.It was the first time for Uncle Zhou and Ah Zhou to see such a stove, and they just opened their mouths in surprise.
Only Li Maoshan was very indifferent.
When Boss Lu saw them like this, his mood immediately improved a little.Touching the beard that was not much on his chin, Boss Lu went to the back of the stove and proudly introduced to everyone: "This piece is an iron plate, and it is connected to the stove below. If there is a fire, you can directly burn it on the iron plate." Cook all kinds of dishes."
Following Boss Lu's introduction, Uncle Zhou and Amo Zhou couldn't help but marvel at the little old man's abilities, and at the same time looked at Chen Yan very worriedly.
"Everyone who sees it for the first time is as surprised as you are." Boss Lu laughed a few times, "You still don't know how to use this iron stove, let me introduce it to you..."
"No need." Chen Yan directly interrupted Boss Lu. He bypassed the iron plate stove and walked directly to another ordinary stove, "You only need to use this stove for your bread."
Boss Lu's excitement when he just got up was interrupted by someone. He immediately put away his smile and looked at Chen Yan with provocation.
"My little brother doesn't understand the beauty of my iron stove. I also understand the choice of an ordinary stove. After all, a countryman is a countryman. He has never seen the world, so he doesn't understand the many wonderful things in my kitchen."
Chen Yan didn't care about his sarcastic words, he just hooked the corners of his lips, turned to Li Maoshan and said, "Brother Shan, help me start the fire."
Li Maoshan stepped forward immediately, and when he got to Chen Yan's side, Chen Yan whispered another sentence: "Stand up the fire slowly, don't rush."
Although he didn't know what his plan was, Li Maoshan just nodded to express his understanding.
After Chen Yan made arrangements, he searched the kitchen for a few ingredients that needed to be used.Seeing that Li Maoshan had lighted the fire well, Chen Yan asked him to ignite the briquettes under the iron stove.
There is no combustible gas such as gas here, and briquettes are used under the iron plate stove.
Chen Yan took a look at the design of the stove, and could only sigh that the person who designed this stove was really smart.Because he couldn't see all the structures under the stove, but after the briquettes were ignited, he found that there was no trace of smoke.
"Boss Lu's stove is really easy to use." Seeing that the iron plate was gradually heating up, Chen Yan raised his head and praised Boss Lu who had a strange expression.
Boss Lu returned a stiff smile.
Uncle Zhou and Amo Zhou stood aside, watching Chen Yan put the iron plate stove into use in a few moments, he was immediately very happy.
Chen Yan picked some fresh vegetables, including cabbage, carrots, and onions, and for meat, he picked beef and added various seasonings.
The ingredients look simple and are not difficult to handle.
Chen Yan directly shredded the cabbage, carrots, and onions, and cut the beef into cubes and shreds.
The two stoves are used together, and the noodles are directly put into the noodles while boiling water.Chen Yan watched the dough cake begin to deform and disperse into noodles, stirred it with chopsticks, and quickly took it out again.
On the other side, start frying side dishes directly.
The iron plate was heated evenly, and Chen Yan divided the vegetables and beef into two piles and stir-fried them together.
The people on the side were all engrossed in watching, but Boss Lu saw that he was skillful, and his face became more serious.
The two piles of side dishes are combined into one pile, and seasonings are added, and the unique fragrance of the ingredients will soon be released, attracting the onlookers to sniff.
At this time, Chen Yan poured the noodles into the side dishes and stir-fried them together with chopsticks.Just when people couldn't wait to taste it, Chen Yan took a plate, put the fried noodles on a plate, and placed it in front of everyone.
A plate of fried noodles that is steaming and exuding an attractive aroma is out of the pot.
"Since everyone just complained that Uncle Zhou's noodle soup was getting boring, I fried the noodles for a change." Chen Yan washed his hands, walked back to the stove, and put the plate on the table to put it away.
People around were all staring at the fried noodles, and some couldn't stop swallowing.
Li Maoshan came out from behind the stove, washed his hands first, then took a hurried cloth towel, and wiped it for Chen Yan.
"Brother's cooking skills are good." Boss Lu saw him put a plate of fried noodles on the table, but he praised first, "If the color and fragrance pass the test, I don't know if the taste can also pass the test."
Chen Yan asked, and said calmly: "Boss Lu, you can try it first."
Boss Lu picked up some with chopsticks and ate it.
"Old bald donkey, how does it taste? Are you talking after eating?"
Lao Bao watched from the side and hurriedly urged, seeing that Boss Lu didn't respond, he just took the chopsticks and ate.
Uncle Zhou and Ama Zhou also took chopsticks to try separately, and several onlookers who had been coveting for a long time also stepped forward to taste it.
The few fried noodles were eaten by everyone with one chopstick.
"This chow mein tastes different from normal noodles."
"This side dish is also delicious, and the beef cubes are so chewy."
"The shredded beef is mixed with shredded cabbage and radish. It looks really good together."
"Even the onions are very fragrant and not choking at all."
"Too little, not enough to eat."
"Boss Lu, get some more noodles and let my little brother make another one."
"That's right, the ones behind us didn't taste anything."
……
A group of onlookers kept yelling, those who had eaten kept boasting about the deliciousness, and those who hadn't were naturally greedy.
Boss Lu stood aside, looking at the excited crowd with an old face.
"Isn't it just fried noodles, even if you cook it, you can still eat it."
"Old bald donkey, my little brother just cooks delicious food, so don't be stubborn."
"I didn't say he couldn't do it, what are you talking about?"
"I was telling the truth."
The two argued for a few words.
Chen Yan ignored the crowd, but searched the kitchen for the ingredients he needed to use next.
Li Maoshan followed him and saw him picking out a bag of flour, so he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Yan patted the unopened bag of flour and said with a smile, "Of course it's also noodles."
As he said that, he turned his head and shouted at the crowd: "Boss Lu, since you just used your noodle cake to pose a question, now I will also ask you a question, how do you cook my noodle!"
The rabbit fell into the water and immediately kicked its limbs in panic.Chen Yan felt sorry for it, so he had to pick it up again.
The dirty rabbit looked at Chen Yan with disgust, and since it didn't want to take a bath, Chen Yan had no choice but to let it run around.
"Don't bother with it anymore." Seeing that he was staring at the rabbit, Li Maoshan said helplessly.
"I don't think it's dirty." Chen Yan responded, but his eyes followed Li Maoshan, watching him change into a set of old clothes and tie his trousers, so he asked, "Brother Shan, what are you going to do?"
"It has been raining for three days. I have to go to the field to have a look. I am afraid that a lot of water has accumulated in the field. I have to let some of it go, otherwise the crops will be destroyed." Li Maoshan explained and went to fetch The coir raincoat is draped over the body.
Chen Yan glanced at the rain outside, frowned and said, "It's raining so hard, if you go now, you'll get wet."
"It's okay. If it's later, I'm afraid the water will accumulate more and more." Li Maoshan straightened up, covered up his clothes as much as possible, and then turned around and told Chen Yan: "Stay at home honestly and don't go out. If you get wet Yu is sick, let me teach you a lesson."
Seeing his serious appearance, Chen Yan said disapprovingly, "You should take care of yourself more. If you get sick from the rain, I will let you take bitter medicine every day."
The two talked a few words, and Chen Yan urged again: "Go early and come back early, pay attention to safety."
Li Maoshan responded and went out the door.
Chen Yan watched his figure disappear into the rain, and stood at the door for a long time, until the rain drifted in with the wind, and the coolness woke him up.
He turned around and went to the kitchen, thinking about what to cook to reward the hardworking brother Shan.
The wet weather made people depressed for several days, and finally saw the sunshine.
The ground has been soaked by rain for a long time, and when the weather clears up, the villagers immediately get busy.
Li Maoshan repaired the roof again, and the two of them had a very uncomfortable life because of water leakage these few days.When the sun clears, the first thing to do is to quickly repair the house.
Chen Yan took out the clothes and bedding in the house to dry.After being busy for half a day, he found a chair to sit in the yard, and cleaned the mold for himself.
When Li Maoshan came down from repairing the roof, Chen Yan had already fallen asleep leaning on the chair.
The sun shines on Chen Yan with a warm feeling, and the golden light reflects the beautiful young man, giving people a warm picture.
Li Maoshan put down his manual tools, washed his hands with some well water, then picked him up and put him on the bed.
As soon as he touched the bed, Chen Yan opened his eyes in a daze.He squinted his eyes at Li Maoshan and curled his lips, put his hands around Li Maoshan's neck, and called out softly, "Brother Shan!"
The boy who just woke up had a nasal voice, and Li Maoshan couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed him with such an intimate call.
"Go to sleep again."
"Well, Brother Shan sleeps together."
The boy was acting coquettishly, hugging the person and refusing to let go.
Li Maoshan had no choice but to take off his shoes and go to bed, the two cuddled each other and took a nap.
Today, the affairs at home were temporarily over, so Li Maoshan took Chen Yan to the county seat again.
Li Maoshan was thinking about going to the old man to buy some medicine, while Chen Yan was thinking about Uncle Zhou's business.
This time when they came to the county seat, the two took a car from the same villager and entered the county seat.So as soon as they entered the city, the two had to walk slowly on their legs.
Along the way, the two were not in a hurry.Maybe it's because the sky has cleared up, and the county town is actually more lively than usual.Walking and watching, Chen Yan felt the difference of this county for the first time.
Many children ran past merrily, some accidentally bumped into Chen Yan's lap.The little fat pier looked up at him, and Chen Yan helped him, only thinking that the chubby child was really cute.
Seeing that the person hadn't followed, the child who ran away turned around and urged, and the little chubby followed with a blushing face.
"Why is it so lively?"
Chen Yan looked at the crowd around him, and the endless hawking attracted his attention even more.
Li Maoshan thought about it for a while, and then he remembered what day it was, "It's fifteen, and there is a temple fair today." He didn't come to the county often, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Hearing that there was a temple fair, Chen Yan's eyes lit up.
"Don't you want to go to Uncle Zhou?" Li Maoshan reminded, seeing him hesitant, he had to say: "The temple fair will be more lively at night."
"Okay, let's go to Uncle Zhou's for a while first, and then go to the temple fair later." Chen Yan looked at Li Maoshan with a smile, and when Li Maoshan agreed, he was about to pounce on him and cheer.
The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at West Market, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of Zhou Ji Noodle Shop from a distance.
"Huh, Uncle Zhou's business is so good?" Chen Yan was very excited, "Uncle Zhou's business is booming, Brother Shan, we should have money."
36. Chapter 36
Compared to Chen Yan's happiness, Uncle Zhou has a lot of headaches.
There are quite a few people in front of Zhouji Noodle House, but they are not here to eat noodles, but to watch the excitement.
Since Uncle Zhou learned a new recipe from Chen Yan, the fried sauce noodle recipe that is different from that of the noodle restaurant opposite has really won back many diners.
At the beginning, the diners were also curious about the fried sauce noodles of the two noodle restaurants, and there were diners on both sides to taste them.Although each has its own merits, the diners are more familiar with Uncle Zhou.
Seeing that Uncle Zhou can also make delicious fried noodles, diners naturally began to patronize Zhouji Noodle Restaurant.
After going back and forth like this, the business of the two noodle restaurants has become more and more prosperous for Uncle Zhou, while the business of the other side has dropped a lot.For diners, the two noodle restaurants have noodles with fried sauce, so there are few people there and there are few seats to go there.
Uncle Zhou was very satisfied with the patronage of the diners, and his business was booming, which naturally made the two elders extremely happy.
However, within a few days of being happy, the owner of the noodle shop opposite couldn't sit still.The culinary skills that were originally only known by his family are no longer unique. The boss thought that Uncle Zhou and the others stole his family's skills.
It's just that although the boss is dissatisfied, he is not aggressive.He didn't directly question Uncle Zhou's stealing teacher, but only proposed a competition between the two companies, and whoever wins can continue to sell fried noodles in West Market.
At this time, the boss was standing in front of Zhouji Noodle Shop with a few shop assistants. Behind him, diners from the two families and passers-by were shouting out of curiosity.
"I said, Lao Zhou, you can't be cowardly about this matter." Lao Bao from the dry goods store next door pushed aside the crowd and came to Uncle Zhou, cheering for Uncle Zhou at the top of his voice, "Old Zhou, we have been neighbors for so many years, but we are all optimistic about it." You kill this old bald donkey from out of town."
The word "old bald donkey" immediately made the onlookers burst into laughter.
The old bald donkey refers to the owner of the noodle restaurant opposite. The owner's surname is Lu, and he is about the same age as Uncle Zhou and others, but because of his bald head, Lao Bao gave him such an vivid title.
Boss Lu's complexion changed when someone said that, but he is very well-bred.He just glared at Lao Bao, then turned his head to look at Uncle Zhou who had been silent all the time, "I said, brother, look at our two noodle shops facing each other, it would be bad if we continue to compete for business from each other."
Uncle Zhou glanced at the crowd around him, most of them were his familiar neighbors, and a small part were strangers.
"I don't think it's bad." He said slowly, with a calm expression on his face, "Brother Lu, you see that your noodle shop can't handle so many diners, brother, I'm kind enough to share some for you, isn't it that we are mutually beneficial? It's pretty good."
"Hehe." Boss Lu sneered, "Brother, what you said, seems like I'm a petty brother. Look at the whole street, how many two are doing the same kind of business. Now there are two noodle restaurants all of a sudden. Selling fried noodles, my brother is deliberately running on my brother."
"Old bald donkey, when you opened the noodle restaurant, why didn't you think that your behavior has already hindered Lao Zhou's business." Lao Bao couldn't listen anymore, so he rushed to curse at Boss Lu before Uncle Zhou could speak, "If it wasn't for You opened a noodle restaurant opposite Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou has been doing a good business for decades, how could you almost lose customers because of you?"
"But this is a job that depends on one's ability. Brother, the noodles in your shop are delicious, but if you eat the same noodles every day for decades, people will get tired of it."
The second half of Boss Lu's sentence was aimed at the crowd of onlookers. As soon as he finished speaking, many people echoed him.
"That's right, Lao Zhou, we eat egg noodles and beef noodles every day, and we've long since gotten tired of it."
"Uncle Zhou's noodles are delicious, but it's easy to get bored if you eat them often."
"However, Uncle Zhou's fabrics are quite affordable..."
“Jajiangmen is delicious!”
……
The onlookers first discussed which kind of noodle was delicious and affordable.
"Brother, you have also seen that this fried noodles is really delicious, and everyone likes it too. But for the sake of our long-term harmonious relationship, let's have a small competition."
Boss Lu challenged Uncle Zhou again with a smile on his face.
He is not stupid, even though they are both fried noodles, the tastes of the two are somewhat different.It would be of no benefit to him, a foreigner, if he said bluntly that Uncle Zhou stole his teacher.
The neighbors in this neighborhood must have more trust in Uncle Zhou than in themselves.
Therefore, Boss Lu came here with an invitation for the competition. In this way, he will have a fair and aboveboard competition, and if he wins, he can give his noodle restaurant a greater reputation.
One fell swoop, he has considered very fully.At this moment, as long as Uncle Zhou accepts the competition, Boss Lu has full confidence that he can win the competition.
Uncle Zhou actually considered that the new method he learned from Chen Yan would arouse doubts on the other side, but he didn't expect this person to be calm, and he didn't say that he stole the teacher, but directly proposed a competition.
Amo Zhou stood behind Uncle Zhou, held Uncle Zhou's hand, and silently supported him.
Uncle Zhou smiled back at Ama Zhou, and Uncle Zhou benefited greatly from his wife's full trust.He looked at Boss Lu and said, "It's okay to compete, and it won't make people think that I, Lao Zhou, stole your skills."
"Stealing or not, we each know what we know, and we don't argue about this skill today." Seeing that Uncle Zhou agreed, Boss Lu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since everyone has their own skills, let's compare them." Other handicrafts."
"How do you compare?" Uncle Zhou asked.
"Since my brother knows how to make noodles in many ways, let's compare noodles that everyone has never seen before." Boss Lu shouted, his scalp was shining brightly in the sun, with a confident smile on his face, and he looked at it with leisure time. Uncle Zhou.
"Noodles that haven't been cooked before?" Uncle Zhou frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Little old man, I don't have any hobbies in my life. I just want to eat noodles." Boss Lu said unhurriedly. , then he must also be a person who likes to make different pasta, and there must be some unique skills in private."
Without waiting for Uncle Zhou to respond, Boss Lu raised his voice and said, "Now let's compare, whoever's unique skills are more popular with the neighbors, then whoever is the winner."
Following Boss Lu's words, Uncle Zhou's complexion became serious.
"What does brother mean?"
"My brother is not talented. He spent decades developing a kind of noodle cake." Boss Lu raised his hand while talking, and a clerk behind him took out a piece of noodle cake from the basket he was carrying. "This is my noodle cake. The noodle cake that has just been successfully developed is not only easy to eat, delicious, but also easy to store and carry.”
Following Boss Lu's words, the crowd immediately looked at the bread in the clerk's hand.
Uncle Zhou carefully looked at the noodle cake. The noodle cake was square and thinner than the noodles they usually ate. The color was not off-white like flour, but a little golden.
A whole biscuit is dry and hard, and it will not deform when held in the hand.
Everyone was very curious about this piece of bread, and some people couldn't wait to ask how to eat it.
Boss Lu was very satisfied with everyone's curiosity. He took the noodle cake from the clerk and said, "Let me explain the way to eat this noodle cake."
Uncle Zhou looked at the bread that was handed to him, frowned and did not take it.
This kind of bread that had never been seen before made Zhou Amo equally frightened. He grabbed the corner of Uncle Zhou's clothes, full of worry.
Seeing that he was motionless, Boss Lu smiled and called out, "Brother."
"Uncle Zhou."
Just when everyone was equally curious about how to eat noodles and was in a dilemma with Uncle Zhou, Chen Yan walked out from the crowd of onlookers.He walked up to Uncle Zhou, took the bread from Boss Lu's hand with a smile, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently.
"The deep-fried noodles are quite good." Chen Yan broke off a small noodle and chewed it in his mouth a few times. And the smell of eggs."
Boss Lu's face changed when he heard the words, Chen Yan smiled and broke another one to taste, and added: "There should be corn flour added. Are you right?"
"Brother Yan." Seeing Chen Yan, Zhou Ahma immediately swept away the heavy expression just now, and called out hastily.
Uncle Zhou was very surprised by Chen Yan's appearance. He saw Li Maoshan following Chen Yan. Although he was surprised at the timing of their appearance, the words Chen Yan said while holding the bread made him feel at ease.
"Uncle Zhou, Ah Zhou." Li Maoshan and Chen Yanchong greeted them.
"It's a coincidence that you came here." Uncle Zhou said with a smile.
"We just came to join in the fun, isn't it just a coincidence."
Chen Yan and Li Maoshan had watched for a while earlier, and they already understood what happened.
When Boss Lu saw that the person who appeared suddenly was an acquaintance from Uncle Zhou's side, his expression was a little strange.
He stabilized his mind, although the young brother could immediately tell the special features of this pancake, he was not flustered.
"This little brother has good eyesight, and he can tell that my pancakes have been deep-fried."
"What's the matter." Seeing him talking to him, Chen Yan shifted his gaze to Boss Lu, and he opened his mouth to confirm: "I just heard that this boss is going to compete with Uncle Zhou, and the bet is that whoever wins can continue. Doing business in the West Market?"
Boss Lu saw that this guy was very good-looking, and when he glanced at him with bright eyes, he still had a charming demeanor.He traveled all over the world for so many years, but it was the first time he saw a beautiful boy who could stand in the middle of a group of men without fear and talk to him like this.
"That's right." Boss Lu nodded and replied, "Brother sells the same noodles as me, so it's natural to compare them to see which one is more suitable to gain a foothold in this West Market."
Chen Yan got his answer and smiled.The young boy was already beautiful, his lips raised slightly in a seductive arc, and his clean and pure smile dazzled the crowd of onlookers.
Li Maoshan glanced at the people around him with some displeasure, and stretched out his hand to hook Chen Yan's shoulder.Chen Yan looked back at him inexplicably, Li Maoshan just smiled.
"Well, I'll show you how to eat this pancake for Uncle Zhou." Chen Yan looked at Boss Lu again, and took over the competition confidently.
37. Chapter 37
Holding the piece of instant noodles in his hand, Chen Yan couldn't help mocking in his heart that the old bald man had the guts to compete with Uncle Zhou.
Ordinary people may not know how to cook instant noodles, but for Chen Yan, this kind of junk food is really boring.
He looked at the pancake in his hand with some distaste, wondering what ingredients could be added to the instant noodles that only had pancakes and no seasonings, so he heard the other party yell, "Wait a minute."
"Why, are you scared?" Chen Yan snorted coldly when he saw the other party's expression turned pale.
"Little old man, I'm looking for a competition with Brother Zhou. You don't know where you came from, so you threatened to take the competition for Old Brother Zhou. Don't talk big."
Boss Lu said sarcastically, his eyes kept sizing up Chen Yan and Uncle Zhou.
"Oh, I said old bald donkey, are you afraid that someone will make you a little brother." On the side, Lao Bao jumped out again to sarcastically go back, and his words attracted whispers from the surrounding people.
Boss Lu's face darkened, he glared at Lao Bao, and said impatiently, "How can I be afraid of a brother. It's just that this brother's origin is unknown, so I have to ask for his identity."
"What's the matter? I didn't see someone called Uncle Zhou. It's obvious that he is a nephew." Lao Bao saw that Boss Lu was upset for a long time, so he couldn't make him feel proud all the time.From Chen Yan's talk about the specialness of the bread, Lao Bao rejoiced in his heart that finally someone could cure this arrogant old bald donkey.
Ah Zhou stepped forward at this time and introduced Chen Yan and the others to the crowd, "This is our old Zhou's proud nephew, who grew up watching him when he was young." The conversation changed, and he asked Boss Lu again: "Could it be that Boss Lu? Do you look down on a brother?"
As soon as Zhou Ahmo said this, people around immediately began to criticize Boss Lu.
"What's wrong with my brother? Is my brother worse than a man?"
"That's right, everyone just lives on the food cooked by my brother."
"Brother Ren is good-looking and knows how to make noodles, which is rare."
"Little brother, go and cook the noodles, we want to taste what is so special about this cake."
……
Chen Yan saw that Boss Lu's complexion became even uglier due to the people around him, and he was secretly happy, but he said politely on his face: "I learned crafts from Uncle Zhou when I was a child, not to mention ten percent of it, but it's enough. Fight for Uncle Zhou and his old man."
"Of course, I'm still very proud of Brother Yan's craftsmanship, old man."
Uncle Zhou echoed from the side, and even praised how great the statement was, which aroused people's curiosity even more.
"Hmph, since that's the case, if you lose, don't say that the old man is bullying a little brother." Boss Lu was very upset when he saw that the crowd seemed to be on Uncle Zhou's side.
With a sullen face, he turned his hands away, and said to Chen Yan and the others, "Come with me. Brother Zhou's noodle restaurant is too small. You should go to our noodle restaurant. We won't be able to accommodate everyone."
As he spoke, he glanced at Uncle Zhou's small noodle restaurant with disgust, then turned around with disgust, and walked towards their noodle restaurant.
Ah Zhou pulled Chen Yan back and whispered, "Brother Yan, do you really know how to cook this stuff?" It wasn't that he doubted Chen Yan, but he was afraid that if something went wrong, their house would be closed.
Chen Yan showed a confident smile at Zhou Ah, and at the same time comforted: "Zhou Ah, don't worry, the taste of noodles is not only in the noodles, sometimes the side dishes are the icing on the cake. The recipes are similar, it depends on whose The side dishes go better with the noodles.”
"You heard what brother Yan said just now, and the fried noodles that brother Yan taught us. Old man Lu is a bit jealous of us, so don't worry about it." Uncle Zhou stepped forward to hold Zhou Amo, "this If it were me, I would not be able to tell you how to make the bread. We will see what Yan Geer does later, and you can just watch from the sidelines with peace of mind."
Uncle Zhou was very optimistic about Chen Yan, and entrusted this competition to Chen Yan with all his trust.
Chen Yan responded with a smile, while Li Maoshan took Chen Yan's other free hand and asked in a low voice: "Then what are you going to use to fight back against that Boss Lu?"
The competition was a pasta dish for one person, and Chen Yan really didn't think of this pasta dish for counterattack.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at him expectantly, Chen Yan had no choice but to say, "Don't be impatient, I will guarantee to win the competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly asked the system for help in his heart.
[Hurry up and give me some noodles that can be sold. 】
The system was silent, just heard Chen Yan's heartfelt voice, and threw him a noodle recipe.
Chen Yan blinked, and searched for noodles that could be used in his mind as he walked.
In addition to Zhajiang noodles, there are braised noodles, hot dry noodles, pot cover noodles, knife-sliced noodles, Dandan noodles, ramen noodles, Pianerchuan noodles, cold noodles, and Okuzao noodles in the top ten noodles.
If you want to show off your craftsmanship, ramen is a good choice.But in terms of taste, Chen Yan prefers to eat Pianerchuan.
However, thinking of the skills that can bluff people, Chen Yan felt that Longxu Noodles was a good choice.
While Chen Yan was still thinking about which kind of noodle was more cool, Boss Lu had already brought everyone to the stove.
Boss Lu doesn't look like a good-looking guy, but his brain is very easy to use.
Chen Yan stared at the big teppanyaki stove in front of him, and was stunned for a while.It was the first time for Uncle Zhou and Ah Zhou to see such a stove, and they just opened their mouths in surprise.
Only Li Maoshan was very indifferent.
When Boss Lu saw them like this, his mood immediately improved a little.Touching the beard that was not much on his chin, Boss Lu went to the back of the stove and proudly introduced to everyone: "This piece is an iron plate, and it is connected to the stove below. If there is a fire, you can directly burn it on the iron plate." Cook all kinds of dishes."
Following Boss Lu's introduction, Uncle Zhou and Amo Zhou couldn't help but marvel at the little old man's abilities, and at the same time looked at Chen Yan very worriedly.
"Everyone who sees it for the first time is as surprised as you are." Boss Lu laughed a few times, "You still don't know how to use this iron stove, let me introduce it to you..."
"No need." Chen Yan directly interrupted Boss Lu. He bypassed the iron plate stove and walked directly to another ordinary stove, "You only need to use this stove for your bread."
Boss Lu's excitement when he just got up was interrupted by someone. He immediately put away his smile and looked at Chen Yan with provocation.
"My little brother doesn't understand the beauty of my iron stove. I also understand the choice of an ordinary stove. After all, a countryman is a countryman. He has never seen the world, so he doesn't understand the many wonderful things in my kitchen."
Chen Yan didn't care about his sarcastic words, he just hooked the corners of his lips, turned to Li Maoshan and said, "Brother Shan, help me start the fire."
Li Maoshan stepped forward immediately, and when he got to Chen Yan's side, Chen Yan whispered another sentence: "Stand up the fire slowly, don't rush."
Although he didn't know what his plan was, Li Maoshan just nodded to express his understanding.
After Chen Yan made arrangements, he searched the kitchen for a few ingredients that needed to be used.Seeing that Li Maoshan had lighted the fire well, Chen Yan asked him to ignite the briquettes under the iron stove.
There is no combustible gas such as gas here, and briquettes are used under the iron plate stove.
Chen Yan took a look at the design of the stove, and could only sigh that the person who designed this stove was really smart.Because he couldn't see all the structures under the stove, but after the briquettes were ignited, he found that there was no trace of smoke.
"Boss Lu's stove is really easy to use." Seeing that the iron plate was gradually heating up, Chen Yan raised his head and praised Boss Lu who had a strange expression.
Boss Lu returned a stiff smile.
Uncle Zhou and Amo Zhou stood aside, watching Chen Yan put the iron plate stove into use in a few moments, he was immediately very happy.
Chen Yan picked some fresh vegetables, including cabbage, carrots, and onions, and for meat, he picked beef and added various seasonings.
The ingredients look simple and are not difficult to handle.
Chen Yan directly shredded the cabbage, carrots, and onions, and cut the beef into cubes and shreds.
The two stoves are used together, and the noodles are directly put into the noodles while boiling water.Chen Yan watched the dough cake begin to deform and disperse into noodles, stirred it with chopsticks, and quickly took it out again.
On the other side, start frying side dishes directly.
The iron plate was heated evenly, and Chen Yan divided the vegetables and beef into two piles and stir-fried them together.
The people on the side were all engrossed in watching, but Boss Lu saw that he was skillful, and his face became more serious.
The two piles of side dishes are combined into one pile, and seasonings are added, and the unique fragrance of the ingredients will soon be released, attracting the onlookers to sniff.
At this time, Chen Yan poured the noodles into the side dishes and stir-fried them together with chopsticks.Just when people couldn't wait to taste it, Chen Yan took a plate, put the fried noodles on a plate, and placed it in front of everyone.
A plate of fried noodles that is steaming and exuding an attractive aroma is out of the pot.
"Since everyone just complained that Uncle Zhou's noodle soup was getting boring, I fried the noodles for a change." Chen Yan washed his hands, walked back to the stove, and put the plate on the table to put it away.
People around were all staring at the fried noodles, and some couldn't stop swallowing.
Li Maoshan came out from behind the stove, washed his hands first, then took a hurried cloth towel, and wiped it for Chen Yan.
"Brother's cooking skills are good." Boss Lu saw him put a plate of fried noodles on the table, but he praised first, "If the color and fragrance pass the test, I don't know if the taste can also pass the test."
Chen Yan asked, and said calmly: "Boss Lu, you can try it first."
Boss Lu picked up some with chopsticks and ate it.
"Old bald donkey, how does it taste? Are you talking after eating?"
Lao Bao watched from the side and hurriedly urged, seeing that Boss Lu didn't respond, he just took the chopsticks and ate.
Uncle Zhou and Ama Zhou also took chopsticks to try separately, and several onlookers who had been coveting for a long time also stepped forward to taste it.
The few fried noodles were eaten by everyone with one chopstick.
"This chow mein tastes different from normal noodles."
"This side dish is also delicious, and the beef cubes are so chewy."
"The shredded beef is mixed with shredded cabbage and radish. It looks really good together."
"Even the onions are very fragrant and not choking at all."
"Too little, not enough to eat."
"Boss Lu, get some more noodles and let my little brother make another one."
"That's right, the ones behind us didn't taste anything."
……
A group of onlookers kept yelling, those who had eaten kept boasting about the deliciousness, and those who hadn't were naturally greedy.
Boss Lu stood aside, looking at the excited crowd with an old face.
"Isn't it just fried noodles, even if you cook it, you can still eat it."
"Old bald donkey, my little brother just cooks delicious food, so don't be stubborn."
"I didn't say he couldn't do it, what are you talking about?"
"I was telling the truth."
The two argued for a few words.
Chen Yan ignored the crowd, but searched the kitchen for the ingredients he needed to use next.
Li Maoshan followed him and saw him picking out a bag of flour, so he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Yan patted the unopened bag of flour and said with a smile, "Of course it's also noodles."
As he said that, he turned his head and shouted at the crowd: "Boss Lu, since you just used your noodle cake to pose a question, now I will also ask you a question, how do you cook my noodle!"
