Protagonist:
Lu Feng
After Grandpa Qin finished speaking, without waiting for Qin Feiyu to say anything, he strode out of the shop in big steps.
As he walked, he shouted anxiously at the three old men ahead: "You guys wait for me! What happened to acting together? You're so disunited!"
Watching Grandpa Qin's hurried departing figure, Qin Feiyu rolled her eyes speechlessly, then continued lowering her head to slowly savor the Yangchun Noodles before her.
In her view, delicious food must be eaten slowly to taste the flavor.
Wolfing it down like they do is truly not knowing how to appreciate the essence of gourmet food.
Ever since Grandpa Qin brought Qin Feiyu to eat Xiao Long Bao at Lu Feng's place once, she, who never used to eat outside food, has now become Lu Feng's loyal customer.
Today's Yangchun Noodles suit her appetite very well; eating them is light, the calories aren't high, and they won't affect her recent weight-loss plan.
"Pretty sister, may we sit here?"
Hearing someone speaking to her, Qin Feiyu raised her head and saw two girls holding rice bowls looking at her somewhat timidly.
Qin Feiyu glanced around; the hall was now packed full, and there were temporarily no empty seats elsewhere.
Grandpa and the others just went to queue; they won't be back for a while, and she can't keep hogging these several seats.
Moreover, just now they called her pretty sister, a form of address that made her feel secretly delighted.
So Qin Feiyu showed them a friendly smile, nodded, and said: "Of course you can, sit down."
Lin Meimei and Hu Xiaoyun, hearing this, revealed happy smiles, politely said thanks, and then sat down.
Hu Xiaoyun looked somewhat nervously at the fragrant Yangchun Noodles before her, unable to help swallowing saliva.
She had never eaten such expensive food before, and couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy inside.
At home, Grandpa also often made Yangchun Noodles for her; although they could fill her stomach, the taste wasn't good.
Just now, when she learned the boss was only selling Yangchun Noodles today, she didn't have much expectation in her heart.
But when she got the finished Yangchun Noodles and smelled that alluring aroma, Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help being somewhat surprised.
It was the first time she knew Yangchun Noodles could smell this fragrant.
Just smelling the aroma, her stomach started rumbling non-stop, and her mouth kept secreting saliva.
Originally she felt that what Lin Meimei said in the dormitory before, about how incredibly good this shop's boss's culinary skill was, should more or less contain some exaggeration, but now it seems it might not be exaggerated.
Hu Xiaoyun picked up her chopsticks, carefully picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it into her mouth.
In an instant, an indescribable deliciousness bloomed on her tongue tip like fireworks.
Those delicate smooth noodles, paired with just-right seasoning, made her unable to help closing her eyes to carefully savor.
Only after swallowing the noodles in her mouth did she slowly open her eyes.
Hu Xiaoyun looked at this bowl of Yangchun Noodles before her in disbelief, unable to help doubting: Is this really the taste of Yangchun Noodles? Why is it completely different from what I've eaten before?
She could taste that the seasonings used here are the same as what Grandpa uses when making them.
But with the same seasoning, why can this bowl of noodles taste this good? It's countless times better than what she's eaten before!
All along, after getting used to eating Grandpa's Yangchun Noodles, she always thought Yangchun Noodles were just bland and unremarkable, noodles with a bit of salty taste.
But today this bowl of Yangchun Noodles completely changed her previous view.
So real Yangchun Noodles actually taste this delicious!
Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help looking at Lin Meimei with a face full of disbelief, saying extremely shocked: "Xiao Mei, these noodles... are they too delicious? I've never eaten such delicious noodles!"
Hearing Hu Xiao Yu say this, Lin Meimei, who was slurping noodles, swallowed the noodles in her mouth and immediately laughed: "Of course, I told you long ago, Lu Boss's culinary skill is absolutely top-tier; if you don't come eat once, you'll absolutely regret it, now do you believe me?"
Qin Feiyu on the side, hearing this, couldn't help laughing and saying: "Yeah, I didn't believe this boss's cooking could be that good before either, but after coming here to eat Lu Boss's food, I immediately fell."
The two girls, hearing this, couldn't help raising their heads to look at Qin Feiyu, then at Lu Feng busy at the counter, with gossipy expressions on their faces.
"What are you two thinking?" Qin Feiyu, one look at their expressions, knew they misunderstood her words just now: "I said my stomach fell!"
Lin Meimei and Hu Xiaoyun, hearing this, couldn't help laughing.
But this way, the three girls' relationship also drew much closer, so they started chatting while eating.
When Lin Meimei and Hu Xiaoyun learned that this beautiful and elegant Qin Feiyu before them was actually a policewoman, admiration almost overflowed from their eyes.
"Xiao Yun, eat more; if you think it's delicious, the two of us can come here often to eat in the future."
Lin Meimei knew Hu Xiaoyun hadn't eaten much at noon, and from her own bowl picked up a chopstick of noodles for Hu Xiaoyun.
Hu Xiaoyun said thanks in a low voice, but in her heart secretly sighed.
This shop's food is very delicious, but the price of the food isn't something she can afford.
Coming occasionally is fine, but coming often to eat is still unrealistic.
Hu Xiaoyun lowered her head and continued eating the noodles in her bowl; she didn't eat fast, every mouthful eaten exceptionally cherishingly.
But she secretly made up her mind: wait until she finds another part-time job to save some money, then bring Grandpa over to eat once every month from now on.
Unlike those diners who wanted to finish early to go buy a second portion, Lin Meimei and the other two ate quite elegantly.
Three girls chatting while eating, so they ate comparatively slowly.
By the time Grandpa Qin and his three old friends queued to buy a second portion and returned, Lin Meimei and the others had only just finished their own portions.
Lin Meimei and Hu Xiaoyun had just seen Grandpa Qin and them leave, knew they were together with Qin Feiyu, so hurriedly stood up to yield the seats.
Grandpa Qin and the group sat down laughing heartily; this time their eating speed was much slower.
Because by now there wasn't much time left before business hours ended; even if they finished eating and wanted to queue to buy, there wouldn't be enough time.
And Yangchun Noodles with soup and noodles, eating two bowls down the stomach is about full.
In the kitchen, the somewhat fatigued Lu Feng checked the time; it was already exactly six o'clock, his body that had been tense the whole time finally relaxed.
Although business hours today lasted only one hour, he felt more exhausted than on any previous day.
From opening the shop until now, Lu Feng has been shuttling back and forth between the Kitchen and the Counter, busy to the point of dizziness.
Fortunately, this day's business has finally come to an end.
He also doesn't know how many portions of soup noodles were sold today; Lu Feng plans to check when he goes back in the Evening.
After fishing out the last portion of Yangchun Noodles cooked in the pot, Lu Feng conveniently turned off the noodle pot's Switch.
After carrying the last Bowl of Yangchun Noodles to the Counter, he shouted toward the diners still queuing behind: "Business Hours are over for today, the rest of you come again tomorrow."
Those queuing diners were also paying attention to the time at all times, and they also knew it was already six o'clock by now.
However, upon hearing Lu Feng's words, they still couldn't help but let out a wave of wails.
