late night bistro

Unexpectedly, the old marshal came

Empress, go to the capital.

A new noodle restaurant has recently opened in the city, but this noodle restaurant is different from ordinary noodle restaurants, very unique.

It is neither noodles with soup, nor noodles mixed with dry noodles, but a piece of noodle cake not much bigger than a palm.

No dine-in, only noodles.

This noodle cake is also miraculous. Soak it in hot boiling water for such a stick of incense time, and then gently pick it up with chopsticks, the noodle cake will instantly fall apart and become noodles with a strong and smooth taste.

If you add such a spoonful of meat sauce and mix it evenly in the noodles, the taste is simply delicious. It is fragrant on the lips and tongue, which makes people have endless aftertaste, and even the soup is delicious.

Not only that, this biscuit can also be eaten dry, it is crunchy when you bite it, it is fragrant and crunchy, even if it is a snack, it is a very good choice.

The key is that this noodle cake is very cheap and has a strong sense of satiety.

This is in Shangjing. Usually, a bowl of plain noodles costs ten yuan. If you add meat, it costs fifteen to twenty yuan. money.

Soaking a piece of noodle cake is about the same amount as a bowl of ordinary plain noodles.

And it's not only that, if you buy one tael of noodles at a time, you will also teach customers how to make meat sauce for free.

The meat sauce in the store is limited, there is only one pot a day, and it will be sold out.

Many traders see a business opportunity.

This noodle is cheap, even without meat sauce, it tastes very good, much better than the plain noodles in noodle shops.

Therefore, many hawkers come here every day to wholesale noodle cakes, and then go to sell instant noodles at stalls. They only need to boil water, which is much more convenient than ordinary noodle stalls.

A bowl of plain noodles costs eight yuan, and meat sauce costs ten yuan.

This also led to a wave of instant noodles in Shangjing, and the air was filled with the fragrance of instant noodles.

Go to the capital, in the city defense camp.

Zhao Youlin had just finished her family leave and returned to the military camp.

She only volunteered to join the army last year. Her family has many sisters and little land. She is so poor that she can't get enough to eat. If she wants to marry a husband, she has to make money by herself.

So she relied on her own strength and entered the military camp, thinking of making military achievements with her own skills.

It's just that the world is peaceful now, there is no war in the four seas, and the military camp is just a routine training on weekdays. Every few days, the detachments go out to patrol the camp one by one, and life is considered relaxed.

Although he didn't earn military merits, his monthly salary was paid on time, so the family life is much better now than before.

She thinks everything is good in this barracks, but the food is really terrible.

She was a peasant girl, and she couldn't get enough to eat when she was a child, so she didn't think about wasting food at all, but the food in the military camp was really hard to swallow.

If the food is too salty, if you eat mud, sand and stones, these are minor problems. Smelly meat and rotten vegetables are routine operations.

Every meal is a kind of torment, but I have to force myself to fill my stomach, otherwise I don't have the energy to train at all.

But it's different now. She went home to visit relatives this time and found a kind of pasta, which tastes good, is convenient to eat, and the price is even cheaper.

So he bought 200 yuan of noodles at one time, a total of 60 yuan of noodles. He left ten yuan for his family and brought 50 yuan to the military camp. He usually went to the kitchen to buy a few steamed buns, which was enough for a month. .

Anything is better than eating the food in the fire room.

She is already in her second year as a soldier. In the first year, the salary was only 600 Wen per month, and in the second year it rose to 800 Wen.

So she spends 200 Wen a month to buy noodles, which doesn't really have much impact on her.

What is she trying to make money for?Isn't it just for basic necessities?

She doesn't want to be like many older generations who work hard to earn some money, are reluctant to spend it, and are reluctant to eat it. When she is getting old, she has never had a good day, and she just rolled her eyes and left.

"Zhao Youlin, what are you eating? Why is it so fragrant?"

At noon, Zhao Youlin took a piece of noodle cake to the kitchen to get a large bowl of boiling water, then covered it with a plate, and waited for the instant noodles to soak.

It's just that the plate was not covered tightly, and the smell of instant noodles filled the room.

The little soldiers who were already eating very unpalatable meals surrounded them.

The food in their barracks is notoriously unpalatable. There are three days of family leave every month, and every time they go back, they will bring some food by themselves.

They also have a tacit understanding, because the food can't be kept for too long, and it is impossible for everyone to bring a lot, so they will actively avoid it and will not go to eat.

This can be regarded as the tacit understanding that the battalion has developed for a long time.

But this time it's different, the instant noodles are really delicious, compared with the ones in front of them, the ones in front of them are simply worse than pig food, how to swallow it?

So they sent a big sister with a social cow personality to come over and ask, see if they can sell something to them.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Youlin lifted the plate covering the face, and the aroma suddenly became stronger.

The sound of grunts sounded like thunder. I don't know if it was the sound of swallowing saliva or the sound of being hungry.

"This is called instant noodles." Zhao Youlin said, "I also found it when I went home to visit relatives a few days ago. It's just a piece of noodle cake. It can be eaten after soaking in boiling water. It's very delicious."

The eldest sister swallowed, ".." Really, there is no need to emphasize the three words "special fragrance", they can all smell it.

Now I want to eat more, what should I do?

"Sister." The eldest sister looked like she was her own, and sat next to Zhao Youlin, "Look, we are all in the same camp, can you give us a few yuan to try, we will pay for it."

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment, logically speaking, the sisters usually take care of each other, and it is not a big problem to even out a few doughnuts.

But this bread is basically her food for this month. If a part of it is allocated, it means that she has to eat meals from the cafeteria for several days.

The thought of that meal filled her mouth with bitterness.

Her faltering and hesitating words basically showed her attitude. If it was before, everyone would have given up, but this time, she was surrounded by people instead.

The 50 yuan dough cake, there were five yuan left in the end, which she fought hard to get back, even if the dough cake was broken into scum, she wrapped it well with oil paper.

The sisters didn't take her noodle cakes in vain, and each gave her ten Wen, which was the price of a bowl of plain noodles in the market.

Zhao Youlin couldn't laugh or cry, she should be happy to make money, but how will she live the rest of the month?

You know, in the military camp, except for the family leave on the third day of each month, you can't leave the camp casually.

Hey..

Zhao Youlin thought for a while, and found a sister whose turn was to visit her family tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, took a pocketful of money, and told her in a friendly voice, asking her to help bring back 60 yuan of bread.

That sister was also one of the instant noodle grabbers, so she agreed immediately, and then, all the people who asked her to buy instant noodles surrounded her, looking at her as if they were looking at something sweet.

After a few days, the kitchen steward of the military camp found that fewer and fewer people came to eat, but more and more people asked for hot water every day, and the air in the camp was filled with the smell of food.

The lady in the kitchen is a relative who is in charge. She also knows that her relative's cooking is unpalatable, but the main reason is that she has received kickbacks. The food is inferior, and many vegetable leaves are almost rotten. , the meat is also not fresh.

Officials rarely come here to eat on weekdays, and once in a while, she always prepares fresh meals in advance, or finds someone to hunt game in the woods, so she has always been unscrupulous.

But this time is different.

Regardless of the fact that there are fewer people eating, she can get more kickbacks, but there are fewer and fewer cars delivering food every day, and fewer and fewer people come here to eat, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Paper cannot contain fire, and within a few days, the general who came to inspect the barracks discovered the clues.

The noodle shop in the city is already opening a branch, and the business is booming.

On this day, a group of sergeants in armor riding tall horses came to the door of the noodle shop, followed by a carriage.

The common people had a natural awe of the soldiers, and hid behind them one after another, but couldn't help whispering curiously.

"Do you think the boss of this pastry shop has committed any crime?"

"No way? I plan to buy thousands of noodles and sell them in other prefectures."

"This bread is quite delicious. If I don't have to sell it in the future, I'll..."

"I said earlier that there must be something wrong with such a cheap noodle cake. The general has found it. I think this noodle bakery can't keep going."

..

The common people had different opinions. At this time, a nine-foot-tall old general with a serious face got out of the carriage.

Someone exclaimed: what a tall woman.

In female respect, men are generally around six feet, and ordinary women are considered tall at seven or eight feet. Although this general is old, he has a straight back, which is not inferior to young people.

Someone recognized her, "That's Marshal Zhen Guo."

My God, the Generalissimo hasn't shown up for many years. I heard that it was a war eight years ago, which hurt his body and bones, and he has been recovering from his injuries.

Here, why did it suddenly appear, or come to a noodle shop?

The old general entered the pastry shop and asked the waiter to call out the manager, and said nicely that he wanted to negotiate a deal.

Xu Nuofeng laughed when she received the news. She thought it would be good to attract a head of a hundred households or a head of a thousand households, but she did not expect to attract the old marshal who had not been out of the mountain for a long time.

One wanted to buy it, and the other wanted to establish a relationship with the military camp, and the business negotiation went smoothly.

Xu Nuofeng had also completed the task that Ah Qing had entrusted to him, and had established a relationship with the military camp.

After seeing off the old marshal, Xu Nuofeng regained his composure, and she still had to meet someone.

The second master of bandits.

As Ah Qing said, as long as people have desires, they must have weaknesses.

After the second master entered the mountain, she took a husband, who gave birth to a daughter for her some time ago.

She was forced to be a bandit by her life, but she couldn't let her daughter become a bandit in the future. She wanted her daughter to learn to read and write, and to be a good person.

Thinking of Xu Nuofeng's promise to her and the sum of money that she had never even dared to think about, she compromised and agreed to be a witness.

The author says:

Ah Qing's story should be resolved before v.
