Chapter 132: Get to the bottom

   Xu Tongdao took the lead and walked into this beef noodle restaurant, followed by Xu Tonglin.

   The man sitting behind the dining table immediately squeezed a smile on his face and stood up, "Are you going to eat beef noodles?"

   "It's not..." Xu Tonglin just said two words, and was interrupted by Xu Tongdao, "Yes! Give us a bowl of beef noodles!"

   The man frowned slightly, "You two will have a bowl of beef noodles?"

  Xu Tongdao smiled back, "I have eaten it, I ordered it for my brother!"

   As he said, he turned his head and gave Xu Tonglin a look for Xu Tonglin to understand. Xu Tonglin wanted to say-I have eaten it too.

   He and Xu Tongdao just came out after having breakfast.

   But when he received Xu Tongdao's eyes, he could only swallow it back when he reached his mouth, and tried to squeeze a smile.

   "Oh, that's it! That's OK, you guys wait a minute, I'm going to cook the noodles!"

   The man put down the enamel pot in his hand and went to the kitchen behind to cook noodles. Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin walked around the store casually, looking at the layout of the store.

   The layout is quite simple. In addition to the lobby facing the street, this store has a kitchen and a bathroom at the back. The bathroom and the kitchen are side by side. The area of ​​the bathroom is relatively small and the kitchen is not too big.

Xu Tonglin approached Xu Tongdao and said in a low voice, "Xiaodao, my stomach is still full and I can’t eat it anymore. Isn’t it a waste of you to order a bowl of beef noodles? If you want to rent this store, you just say no to them. Is it all right?"

  Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, "It's okay, you can just take two bites, just ask!"

   "Why not great?" Xu Tonglin expressed doubts.

   Xu Tongdao was not interested in explaining it to him.

   Not long after, the man just brought out a bowl of beef noodles from the kitchen. At this time, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin had found a table and sat down.

   Seeing this bowl of noodles, Xu Tonglin looked bitter.

   He ate a lot in the morning, and let him eat another bowl at this time. That is not enjoyment, it is torture.

   Xu Tongdao ignored Xu Tonglin's look. When the beef noodles were served, he squinted at the...green onion and a few slices of beef that were exposed on the noodle soup, as well as the little oil beads floating on the surface of the noodle soup, which was obviously made with soy sauce.

   Just looking at it, Xu Tongdao has already made a preliminary evaluation of this bowl of beef noodles in his heart.

  ——The chopped green onion was cut to different sizes, the knife was very poor, and there were several pieces of green onion connected together without cutting.

——The beef is cut thick and very affordable, but the thickness of the beef is also uneven. The biggest problem is...these beef is not cut into the top wire, but cut along the texture of the beef. This belongs to The layman's cut method among the laymen! Professional chefs will not cut beef in this way, because the beef cut along the texture of the shredded meat will be very easy to jam between the teeth when eating.

  -Use soy sauce to make the noodle soup directly... When you drink it in your mouth, you will taste a very obvious raw soy sauce taste, and it's also a layman!

  ——Looking at the size of the oil droplets floating on the noodle soup, it should be cooked lard. No oil droplets of obviously different sizes were seen... It means that only cooked lard was put in the noodle soup. I didn't put sesame oil, chili oil, etc., only a few small pieces of dried chilies that had been boiled and changed color, and the taste of such noodle soup could not be rich.

  ——And... forget it! After all, this is a small roadside shop, so when you don't pick noodles into the bowl, there is no small problem of putting emphasis on the plate.

   Xu Tonglin took the chopsticks, smiled bitterly, and didn't want to put down the chopsticks a little.

Xu Tongdao looked at him, and in order to make his judgment more accurate, he reached out and took the chopsticks in his hand, took a chopstick and stuffed the noodles into his mouth, chewed, and tasted the taste of noodles and the soup. .

   If it's just for the stomach, he can eat such noodles.

  The breakfast noodles they usually cook are also very simple, but if they sell it for money, he can't get such noodles.

   The noodles are a bit too soft to cook and lose their cheeks.

The taste of    soup is as he had just judged, the taste is single, there is a clear taste of raw soy sauce.

   I didn't even taste the taste of pepper, and obviously there was no pepper in it.

  Looking at the table again, I didn’t put vinegar and chili oil to season the guests...

   The man who had just greeted them returned to where he was just now, sitting behind the dining table, holding the enamel jar with the words "Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory" in both hands, and looking out the street outside the door.

   This man is obviously only in his thirties, but sitting there with his shoulders stooped, he has no fighting spirit.

   Xu Tongdao returned the chopsticks to Xu Tonglin, got up and walked towards the man, taking out the cigarette case in his trouser pocket as he walked.

   "Boss, is this shop yours?"

  Xu Tongdao walked over, smiled and handed a cigarette to the man.

   The man was a little surprised. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Tongdao, smiled, and took the cigarette, "Thank you! Yes! This shop belongs to me, what's wrong?"

  Xu Tongdao sat down opposite him, first lit the cigarette with a lighter, and then lit a cigarette, "How's your business here? Isn't it okay?"

   The man breathed out a puff of smoke, sighed with a wry smile, "Oh, that's it! It's okay!"

   Don’t want to tell the truth?

  Xu Tongdao smiled, but didn't reveal him.

   This street has the best business at night. For restaurants like this, if the business is good enough at night, there is no need to open their doors during the day.

  Because of working all night, I was already very tired. I need to rest during the day. Moreover, there are no people on this street during the day, and I can't do a lot of business during the whole day~lightnovelpub.net~ It's better to concentrate only on supper.

   "By the way, boss, how much is the rent for your shop a year? Can you tell me something?"

  Xu Tongdao changed the subject.

   The man was unprepared and said casually, "The rent is expensive! It costs 10,000 yuan a year! Alas!"

   "What do you call Big Brother?"

  Xu Tongdao changed the subject again.

   The man is still unprepared, "Did you not look at the sign of my shop just now? Xiao Liu beef noodles, you just call me Xiao Liu!"

  Xu Tong said: "Hehe, how can it work? Brother, you are a lot older than me, I'll call you Boss Liu!"

   Boss Liu laughed and nodded, "Okay! Call it whatever you want."

  Xu Tongdao looked down, and landed on the enamel tank in his hand that said "Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory", "Boss Liu, you used to belong to the Qiaotou Fertilizer Factory?"

   Xu Tongdao had heard of that fertilizer factory, which is located in this county.

   Boss Liu said, "Yes! But I didn't do it there six months ago."

  Xu Tongdao smiled, "Then you opened this noodle restaurant here?"

   Boss Liu hummed again.

  Xu Tong said: "By the way, boss Liu, how much is the rent for your shop in one year?"

   Boss Liu frowned and looked up and down Xu Tongdao's eyes, "What? Someone in your family wants to rent a storefront on this street?"

  Xu Tongdao smiled and nodded, "Yes! Do you think there is a store next door for rent? My relatives want to rent that store, so let me come here to help you find out about the rent."

   Boss Liu nodded, "That's it! Okay, then I'll tell you! I rent an annual rent of 7.5 thousand. By the way, what kind of shop does your relative want to open here?"
