Chapter 502: Going out for noodles with Dad
At noon that day, Meiya took Xiaokui out to play with Ahui, leaving the father and his two sons at home.
At noon, the father and his two sons looked at each other, then looked towards the kitchen and shook their heads. Guangzhi shouted, "Okay! Then let's go out to eat together!"
"Great!" Mingxu and Xiaoxin shouted together.
"Wait, I'll go feed Xiaobai." Mingxu seemed to remember something and ran to the yard with the dog food. Guangzhi and Xiaoxin simply tidied up, changed their clothes, and waited for Mingxu at the door.
After Mingxu fed Xiaobai, he put the dog food back in its place, put on his shoes and walked out. Then the two of them, father and son, walked towards the commercial street together.
But after looking at several stores, Guangzhi was a little dissatisfied, and then the three of them continued to walk forward, and Xiaoxin was no longer so active.
"Gurgle~" There was a sound from his stomach, and Xiaoxin raised his head helplessly: "Dad, it's not time yet?"
"Dad, haven't you found it yet?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi helplessly. He was really hungry.
"Just go to the shopping street in front of the station where we often go to eat." Shin-chan complained.
"Oh, I was trying to find a restaurant that looks delicious, but I ended up staying up so late..." Guangzhi looked at the time and said helplessly.
"Crash~" Suddenly the door next to him was opened, and a man ran out crying. Then he turned around and shouted to the store: "Boss, I will come again! So please don't close the business, okay!" After that, he closed the door and ran to the front, crying as he ran.
"? What happened?" Mingxu and Xiaoxin looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes, and then they looked up at Guangzhi.
"How would I know?" Guangzhi looked at the two brothers looking at him, twitched his mouth and said, "But this store looks like it has a long history, and the sign is a bit old." Guangzhi said, looking at the other party's sign.
"Mu Ting again? What does that mean?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi again.
"It should mean a ramen restaurant." Guangzhi scratched his head.
"Then let's go eat ramen!" Xiao Xinwenyan shouted immediately.
"Add one." Mingxu nodded. He was so hungry that anything would do.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look." Guangzhi smiled and said, "The food in this kind of restaurant should usually taste good."
Having said that, he led the two of them inside.
After entering, the interior was decorated normally. The boss looked at them and said with a smile: "Welcome, you can sit in any empty seat here."
"The owner of the store seems very experienced too." Guangzhi looked at the boss and said to Mingxu and Xiaoxin.
"Oh oh." The two nodded.
When the boss saw that they had two children, he moved two high chairs over for Xiaoxin and Mingxu.
"Let me help you." Mingxu went up to help when he saw this.
"Thank you, but it's not necessary." The boss said with a smile. Mingxu shook his head and still helped move the chair to the place.
"Thank you, little boy." The boss said with a smile, holding his waist.
"Is your waist hurting?" Xiaoxin asked.
"Hey, I'm fine." The boss said with a smile.
"I'm sorry." Guangzhi looked at the other person and said.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't mind it." Looking at them, the boss brought up three glasses of water.
"Boss, where is the menu?" Mingxu asked in confusion after looking around and seeing that there was no menu.
"There is only one store in this place." The boss smiled and pointed to the top behind them.
"Ah?" The three of them turned around and saw a sign above that said soy sauce ramen, divided into three portions: large, medium and small.
"Is this all?" Mingxu asked in confusion.
"Yes, this store has only sold soy sauce ramen for forty years." said the boss with a smile.
"Ah? There's only one noodle?" Xiaoxin said speechlessly with his mouth twitching.
"It's noodles with only one flavor, not just one noodle," Mingxu explained.
"Yes, this kid is right." The boss nodded.
"Since this store insists, then... Hey? Our store will stop operating from today onwards?" Guangzhi said, and suddenly saw another piece of paper on the side, and looked at the boss in confusion.
"This store will be closed after today?"
"Yeah." The boss nodded, then seemed to think of something: "By the way, I forgot to post the notice outside." Then he ran out in a hurry.
"What a pity." Guangzhi shook his head.
"What a pity."
"But why does this thing feel a bit old?" Mingxu said with some confusion as he looked at the paper.
"Xiao Xu, people have said so. Maybe it was written on an old piece of paper. Don't think like that." Guangzhi looked at Mingxu and said sternly.
"Ah? Sorry..." Mingxu said helplessly.
"It's okay, don't mind it." The boss came in, smiled when he heard Mingxu's words, then walked behind the counter, took out three bowls, and poured the soy sauce into the bowls. The taste of the soy sauce felt like it had been slowly dried.
After pouring the soy sauce, put the noodles into the boiling pot on the side and stir them slowly.
"Boss, boss, why are you closing down? Is it because there is no one?" Xiao Xin asked the boss.
"Oh, sorry, my son didn't mean it." Guangzhi said embarrassedly.
"There are not many people coming at this time. In fact, the store was full of customers before you came." The boss said, looking at the sink next to him.
"There are so many bowls." Guangzhi was a little surprised when he saw all these bowls. "Why are you closing down when there are so many customers?"
"Because it's almost time for me to retire." The boss looked at the three of them, smiled, and then poured the boiled soup into the bowl with soy sauce.
The original thick color was immediately diluted by the soup and turned into brown-yellow.
"Boss, are you going to retire?" Mingxu asked in surprise. Is there such a thing as retirement for someone who owns a shop?
"Oh, so you want to give up soy sauce ramen and open original ramen. I guessed right." Shin-chan nodded.
"That's not the case. Retirement means stopping working and enjoying life in peace," Mingxu explained.
"what?"
Guangzhi looked at the boss's actions and nodded. The way he drained the noodles was very neat and quick. He was indeed a master chef.
"Only by draining the water thoroughly like that can you make delicious ramen." Hiroshi looked at the boss and explained to the two children.
"Oh oh." The two nodded.
Then the boss put the noodles into the bowl, added some ingredients, and served them to them.
"Come, your noodles are ready. Sorry for the long wait." As soon as he put down the bowl, the boss hurriedly covered his waist: "Ah~"
"..Boss, are you okay?" the three people asked hurriedly after seeing this scene.
"It's okay, come on, eat quickly." The boss stood up straight and said to the three people.
"Oh." The three nodded and looked at their ramen. It looked pretty good.
"This looks like the traditional soy sauce ramen." Guangzhi said with some surprise as he looked at the ramen.
“It looks delicious.”
"Right. Okay, eat."
"Let's eat." The three shouted, and then Mingxu picked up the ramen with chopsticks and sucked it into his mouth in big gulps.
"Mm, it tastes good."
"fragrant."
"Let me taste the soup." Guangzhi said, scooping it up with a spoon and taking a sip: "Mm, delicious!"
"The ingredients are delicious too." Xiaoxin picked up the meat on the side and started eating.
"Hey, hey, hey, you should drink the soup first and then eat the noodles." Seeing Mingxu and Xiaoxin's actions, Guangzhi was speechless.
"Don't worry about it." The two waved their hands.
"Eat whatever you like." The boss said with a smile, "As long as you enjoy the food, it's fine."
"Boss, you really are sensible. Right?" Shin-chan said and looked at Hiroshi.
"..that's true." Guangzhi's mouth twitched. Enjoying the meal was more important than anything else.
The three of them continued to eat.
"This taste is really nostalgic." Guangzhi finished drinking the soup and ate the noodles, and then couldn't help saying: "It tastes like the ramen I used to eat with my dad at a roadside stall. It's really nostalgic."
"Hmmmm." Mingxu and Xiaoxin responded casually and continued eating. When you are hungry, you can't help but want to eat big mouthfuls of food.
"You guys are really perfunctory." Guangzhi said helplessly, and then started eating with big mouthfuls.
"Haha, no need to eat so fast." The boss said with a smile as he watched the three people eating heartily.
"Yeah, yeah." The three of them nodded, but they didn't stop moving their mouths and hands.
Soon they finished the bowl of noodles.
"Well, finish the soup too." Guangzhi finished his noodles and said with a smile while looking at the remaining soup in the bowl. Turning around, he found Mingxu and Xiaoxin were already drinking the soup. He smiled and followed their example, picking up the bowl and drinking from it in big gulps.
Seeing the three people happily eating noodles, the boss was also smiling. After all, no chef would not like customers to appreciate the food he made, and the attitude of the three people was the best compliment to him.
"Ah! It's so delicious." Guangzhi finished drinking the soup, put down the bowl and said with a smile.
“Yeah.” Mingxu followed Guangzhi in putting down his bowl, and Xiaoxin was the last one.
"You guys are eating very generously." The boss said with a smile, "It's really great to meet such great customers like you."
"Excuse me, are you really planning to stop doing this?" Guangzhi asked again, with a hint of sadness on his face.
"It's obviously so delicious." Xiaoxin said reluctantly.
"Are you really not going to do it anymore?" Mingxu still felt a little strange.
"Yeah, I've decided not to do it."
"So we will never be able to eat such delicious ramen again?" Shin-chan shouted excitedly.
"Why didn't I know there was such delicious ramen here before!" Guangzhi also patted his chest and lowered his head.
"..." Mingxu felt helpless when he saw how excited the two were. If they really didn't intend to do it, what's the point of getting excited?
"Is there no one around you who can inherit your taste?"
The boss shook his head.
“Please, please keep your business open!”
"We want to eat the boss's soy sauce ramen again." The two brothers looked at each other and shouted together.
“Well, we want to keep eating!”
"I understand. Although I don't know how long I can do it, I will definitely keep working hard to make delicious ramen." The boss said with tears in his eyes.
"Great!" the three shouted together.
"Hahaha~" The store was filled with cheerful laughter.
"Crash~" the door opened.
"Husband!" A woman walked in and looked at him helplessly.
"Ah, you finished shopping so quickly..." the boss said when he saw that the other party felt a little guilty.
"You put this on the door again... You're starting the same old closing-down drama again." The proprietress said speechlessly.
"Ah, no, about this matter..."
"Sure enough, I told you something was wrong!" Mingxu shouted.
"Did Xiaoxu really get it right?"
"Ah? Welcome, the three of you. I'm so sorry to make you accompany him in such a strange and lame show." The proprietress said embarrassedly.
"That is to say, the matter of closing the business tomorrow..."
"Yes, they are all lies. They are all my husband's strange bad habits. First-time customers will ask you not to close the business when they hear that it will be the last day! Then after hearing these words, he says that this is his motivation to continue making ramen." The proprietress said speechlessly.
"..sorry."
“Don’t do that.”
“That’s what they say, but there are also customers who say they won’t eat ramen unless they continue acting.” The boss also looked helpless.
"So this is the type of guest we just had?" The three of them thought of the guest who just came in, and their mouths twitched.
"That's right, he is our regular customer and he plays like this every time." The proprietress said helplessly.
"Hey~" The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
After saying goodbye, they came again the next day. This time they came early and found a long queue at the door.
"Forget it, come next time."
"It can only be the."
