Chapter 879 Wang Ji Noodle House
"Don't be too snoozy in the carriage. You'll have a headache and be bored soon. Come on, get up and let me help you wash up." Chu Jingqi pinched the cheeks of the sleepy Xia Zihan and said with a doting look on her face.
When Xia Zihan woke up, Chu Jingqi personally served her to wash her face, rinse her mouth, tie her hair and dress her, as carefully and tenderly as she would serve her own daughter.
After they were properly dressed, the couple got off the carriage.
This is a very small town. There is only one street in the whole town. There is not even a decent restaurant on the street, only two restaurants.
Xia Zihan looked around and saw a noodle stall on the roadside. There was a chess piece erected next to the stall with the four characters "Wang Ji Noodle House" written on it.
She pointed to the noodle shop and said, "Aqi, let's go over there and have a bowl of noodles."
Chu Jingqi looked around the stall and didn't find anything inappropriate, so she nodded and said, "If you want to eat, then we can go there. It just so happens that there is a bun shop next to the noodle stall. When we leave, we will buy more buns to eat at night. .”
In the afternoon, they had to pass through a large mountain. If they followed the route, they might not be able to make it to the next town to rest, so they would have to spend the night in the wilderness.
Xia Zihan and a group of people walked over and found an empty seat to sit there for the afternoon.
In the stall, two large pots were steaming with white steam. A woman in her forties was sweating profusely and stirring the white pork bone soup stewed in the pot. Behind the two large pots, a person with a similar appearance A tall, honest-looking man was adding firewood to the pot.
Seeing Xia Zihan and a group of people coming, the woman quickly took the towel hanging on the side and wiped her hands. Then she took the handkerchief around her waist and wiped the hot sweat from her face. Then she walked over with a smile on her face. He said kindly, "A few of our guests want to eat noodles. It just so happens that the big bone soup has just been boiled and is fragrant. How many bowls of noodles do you want to have?"
The fox raised his eyelids, glanced at the people present, and said, "Ten bowls first."
The stall is not big. There are four tables inside, and they are all occupied by Xia Zihan and his group. Fortunately, it is just noon, and they are the first batch of customers at the noodle stall. Otherwise, the four tables cannot be seated. .
As for the other guards, they all went to eat at other stalls.
Chu Lin shouted, "Put more spicy in a bowl, I love spicy food."
"And me, I'll put more chili pepper in mine too." Chu Chuan also shouted along.
The woman cooked the noodles very quickly. A large package of noodles was cooked in one pot. The hot water was boiling and the noodles were cooked quickly. Ten bowls of noodles were produced in one pot.
After serving the noodles, pouring a spoonful of fragrant bone soup and a small spoonful of special meat sauce, Xia Zihan ate it, and it turned out to be even more delicious than the shredded chicken noodles she liked to eat.
"If you like it, bring a few bowls and we'll eat it tonight." Seeing that she quickly ate half of it and ate it with gusto, Chu Jingqi couldn't help but want to pamper her.
Xia Zihan frowned and said with a smile, "This meat sauce is good and tastes great. Let's buy some meat sauce to eat on the road?"
"Okay, if you like it, buy more." Chu Jingqi was thinking in her mind and asked the noodle stall couple to sell him the meat sauce recipe.
The noodles are indeed delicious. Chu Jingqi, Chu Yuexi and Fox, a few grown men, couldn't get enough of one bowl and ordered a second bowl.
However, before the second bowl was served, someone started looking for trouble at the stall.
"Hey, Wang Hantou, business is good today, there are so many customers." Outside the noodle stall, a group of five or six gangsters walked in with their eyes turned upward and their noses turned upward.
The one who spoke was the blind ruffian walking in the front. He was blind in one eye and wore a black eyepatch. There was a scar on the left side of his face, which extended from the bottom of the blind eye to the top of his nose. He was ugly. He looked at it. Some people are cautious.
The blind ruffian walked in. Seeing that there was no place left, he cast his gaze on the faces of Xia Zihan and the other women. Their eyes were bright and burning, like beggars who had been hungry for three hundred days without eating. Suddenly they saw It's always like a meat bun, extremely uncomfortable. Just when the blind ruffian was watching, his inner fire was rising, and suddenly he felt a cold air coming over him, as if... he felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast.
He shuddered hard, moved his eyes, and met Chu Jingqi's eyes as if looking at a dead person.
The blind ruffian shrank his eyes and quickly looked away.
A layer of cold sweat broke out behind him.
Only then did he notice that Chu Yuexi, Hu Chuanqiong, and even Chu Fei, Chu Lin, and Chu Cong all had long swords on their waists, and they were also very neatly dressed. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.
This group of people is not something they can offend.
The blind ruffian immediately decided to leave the noodle stall.
"Hey, boss, didn't you just say you wanted to eat noodles? Why did you leave? There is no place. Just blast them out. Boss... boss... wait for us..."
When a group of local gangsters saw the boss walking away quietly, they thought he didn't want to eat noodles again, so they all chased him out.
The last one to leave glared at Wang Hantou fiercely and cursed, "Damn Hantou, I've given you an advantage today, come back tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran after the boss.
Wang Hantou and Mrs. Wang were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Seeing the blind ruffian leave, the couple wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Hey, when did this end?"
"Be patient and it will pass. What they want is just money and a few bowls of noodles. As long as we are good people, everything is up to them." Wang Hantou said naively.
If his arms can't twist his thighs, then he has to obey. Otherwise, even if he, Wang Hantou, has a hundred lives, he won't be able to fight with a group of gangsters who don't care about his life.
After Xia Zihan finished eating, he pushed the bowl forward, wiped his mouth, and called Madam Wang over, "Your meat sauce is very delicious. Do you have any extra? I want to buy a few cans to eat on the road."
"Yes, there are still five cans at home. I made them two days ago. If Madam likes to eat, I will give three cans to Madam." There are two cans left for business.
This meat sauce is complicated to make. To make the sauce, it needs to ferment for a while, then add the ingredients, minced meat, and sesame oil, and then slowly simmer it over fire.
It takes a long time, so she can't sell all five jars of meat sauce at once. If she sells it, she will not be able to continue her business.
Madam Wang smiled apologetically at Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan didn't mind. She was already very happy that they could sell her three cans of meat sauce. She arched her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. I also have these noodles and bone soup. You can also pack some for me."
The noodles were rolled by Wang Hantou, and they were very chewy when eaten in your mouth.
Xia Zihan asked for ten kilograms and half a pot of bone soup. When the soup was ready, Wang Hantou also brought three cans of meat sauce from home. Chu Cong took it and sent it to the carriage.
