Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1434 Eat Noodles, Add Double Beef
Liu Ya walked casually in Guangchang City with an oiled paper umbrella.

Because of the rain, no pedestrians could be seen on the street.Occasionally someone passed by, and they ran over in a hurry.

Although the shops are still open, they are still deserted, showing a kind of helpless depression.

Liu Ya passed one shop after another, and finally came to a noodle shop.

This shop is really not big, there are only three tables in the small hall, and they are the kind of small tables that can only accommodate two people sitting opposite each other.

But there were a lot of customers inside, four people sat at three tables.The attendance rate is really high.

Liu Ya was a little hungry at first, but when she saw the steam coming from the back kitchen and smelled the smell of beef boiled in old soup, she couldn't help but put away her umbrella and walked towards the shop.

It happened that one table of guests had finished eating, put down the bowls and chopsticks and put down a few copper plates, and called out: "Miss Boss, take the money." Then he got up and left.

The back chef agreed bluntly, and a woman in her forties came out immediately.When walking, the footsteps are windy, and she looks like a shrewd and neat woman.

While swiftly putting away the copper plates and bowls and chopsticks on the table, the woman greeted Liu Ya and said, "Sit here, little brother. The shop is small. But my noodles are boiled in old soup, which is absolutely delicious. In this cold weather It’s rainy, drinking a bowl of old soup beef noodles is the best way to warm up.”

Liu Ya smiled and nodded, "Then have a bowl of noodles."

Listening to Liu Ya's words, the proprietress seemed to think it was a female voice.He glanced at Liu Ya again, pursed his lips and smiled, as if he understood.Then he asked again: "Do you want to add meat? Just add two chunks of beef for eight pennies."

"Okay." Liu Ya nodded again, but did not refuse.

The proprietress agreed, and was about to turn around with the removed dishes.Another voice came from the door: "Ma'am, a bowl of old soup beef noodles, add meat."

Liu Ya heard the voice familiar, and when she turned her gaze, she saw a familiar oil-paper umbrella.As soon as the umbrella was put away, it was the young craftsman who made the umbrella.

The little craftsman also looked inside and saw that the other tables were full, so he walked straight towards Liu Ya, sat down naturally, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, what a coincidence."

Liu Ya didn't think it was a coincidence, she just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Liu Ya was silent, the little craftsman stopped talking, but reached out to pick up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of hot water.

Looking at the water glass, the little craftsman put the glass in front of Liu Ya and said, "The glass and the water are both clean." It turned out that he looked at the water glass for this reason.

Liu Ya had no choice but to say "thank you", but the cup didn't move while it was placed in front of her.

After waiting for a while, the noodles were served.

The lady proprietress put the noodles in front of Liu Ya and the little craftsman respectively, and said, "I'm sorry, both of you, the head of my family is going to collect the cows today, and I'm the only one working in the shop, so it's slow."

Liu Ya responded casually, and picked up her chopsticks to eat noodles.

The little craftsman on the opposite side praised: "Madam boss, you have great knife skills. Your beef cuts are really good, the size is not bad, it is really well-proportioned."

Hearing what he said, Liu Ya noticed that there were two square pieces of beef in the bowls of the two of them, and they were really even in size, and it didn't matter which one was bigger and which was smaller.

The proprietress also laughed when she heard it, and said: "The small restaurant makes noodles and cuts meat. It's something that I play with every day. What kind of knife technique is that? I'm afraid that the customers will lose money, so they are all the same size as possible."

The little craftsman raised his thumb and gave another thumbs-up before bowing his head and eating the noodles.

Liu Ya sat across from him, just drank the soup slowly.

Liu Ya wasn't picky, but she was naturally alert.She thought it was a coincidence that this little craftsman came, so she paid a little attention.

As a result, I saw that many wounds that had been cut before had scabbed over the hand of the little craftsman holding the chopsticks.A thin layer of white ointment can be vaguely seen outside the wound.

Liu Ya is a doctor and is also very sensitive to ointments.Intuitively, the ointment is not the original brown color of traditional Chinese medicine, but this almost creamy white color, which is by no means an ordinary ointment.

Based on Liu Ya's experience, this kind of ointment needs to be formulated with precious medicinal materials such as snow lotus, snow clam, jade dew, and ginseng juice.

How could such a small bamboo craftsman use such an expensive ointment?
But even if she found it suspicious, Liu Ya couldn't figure out why this little craftsman was staring at her?

Because she was thinking more, Liu Ya ate the noodles more and more slowly, almost eating one by one, and drinking the soup one mouthful at a time.

"Girl, the beef tastes good when it's hot." The little craftsman on the opposite side reminded again.

Liu Ya looked down and saw that she had eaten half of the noodles in her bowl, with two pieces of beef still on top.Look at the little craftsman's bowl again, it's almost finished.

Liu Ya didn't want to make things too complicated, so she simply asked, "You came with me, right? Why?"

The little craftsman probably didn't expect Liu Ya to ask so directly, he was slightly taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Because the girl looks a little lonely, I'm a little worried."

"Thank you." Liu Ya smiled gently, stopped talking, and continued to eat noodles with her head down.

Because Liu Ya was still eating very slowly, the little craftsman on the opposite side had already finished the whole bowl of noodles.

He looked at the bowl in front of him, then at the noodles in Liu Ya's bowl, and even called out to the back kitchen: "Ma'am, a bowl of old soup beef noodles."

"Hey, here we come." The proprietress' voice came from the back kitchen, and then asked habitually: "Add meat? Eight coins, two big pieces of beef."

"do not add."

"Add!" It was Liu Ya who said to add meat.She wants to see what this little craftsman is going to do.

The proprietress raised the curtain from the back kitchen curiously, and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to add meat?"

Just as the little craftsman was about to speak, Liu Ya directly took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and said, "I'm treating you, I'll give this little brother double the amount of beef."

"Hey, okay. It will be ready soon." The proprietress immediately agreed, and put down the curtain to make noodles.

The little craftsman looked at the broken silver on the table, smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm really sorry to let the girl spend money."

"It's okay. For the sake of your concern for me, two bowls of noodles and a few pieces of beef are just a thank you for your kindness." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she continued to eat noodles leisurely.

And when the proprietress put a large bowl of noodles with double beef in front of the little craftsman, Liu Ya put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and wanted to leave.

The little craftsman was stunned for a moment, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Liu Ya turned her head and smiled, and said, "What about the double portion of beef, don't waste it."

After saying that, she moved her finger slightly, and a silver needle was thrown out of her sleeve, just piercing the little craftsman's shoulder.
