The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 325 Only One Way (2)
Taifu An, this was An Huaiyuan's official title when people knew him when he was in the imperial capital.It is now a thing of the past.

It is only a blink of an eye to go from a first-rank official to an extremely personable minister to the current living in seclusion in the village.

But Han Luqing wouldn't be emotional about this, he was just mourning the short period when An Jing once sweetly called him 'Lu Qing'.

"My mother called me Lu Qing, and then people who got acquainted with her called me that. In fact, my surname is Han." After all, the past is over. Han Luqing has been in love with An Jing for many years, so much that he only knows that she calls him Lu Qing, and forgot his last name.

"Oh." Nodding, Su Xiazhi kept her usual calm expression on her face, but she cursed in her heart: Shit!It must be the pet name between him and An Jing, which made me call 'Lu Qing Lu Qing' for so long, bah!
As soon as the mule cart from Su Xiazhi stopped at the door of the noodle shop, the noodle shop clerk ran to the back and told Gao Yuan, who had already become the shopkeeper, "The boss is here!"

So Gao Yuan, who was settling accounts at the back, quickly walked out to greet him and said: "Master."

"These two are the shopkeepers of the restaurant opposite, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Han." Even though the two parties already knew who each other was, Su Xiazhi still gave them a formal introduction.

After the three men greeted each other for a while, Su Xiazhi said to Gao Yuan: "Go ahead, I'll just greet the two young masters."

Gao Yue is the second son of Aunt Gao and Gao Zhongwu. He is older than Xiucai. He has lived in Ping County for many years, and his family is here now.

People are steady and smart.He does things very much like his father, quite well-behaved.

Before the noodle shop opened, he quit his job at the original shop and ran around with Su Xiazhi, and now he is considered her capable man. The only thing that gave Su Xiazhi a headache was the name of Gao Yuan.

In terms of age, Su Xiazhi should follow Xiucai and call him "Second Brother", but she thinks she has a big brain, and she always associates this name with something, and then she is not kind... One is called Gao Yuan The second brother will laugh!
After laughing a few times, looking at the inexplicable eyes of everyone, Su Xiazhi adjusted himself, and simply called him "the shopkeeper" together with the guys. '

The owner called himself the shopkeeper?Gao Yuan couldn't get used to this name for several days, and finally it was his father's words that made him feel relieved: "Xiucai's temperament is open-minded, and they are usually like a man. You let her brothers and sisters call her like this, guessing her. It's awkward."

Raising his hand, he summoned a buddy, and Su Xiazhi sent a pot of tea to the westernmost partition.

Seeing Han Luqing and Zhou Shu standing behind the door staring and looking around, she smiled and let them look around, while she went to the partition and sat down for a rest.

Zhou Shu, who had been the shopkeeper of this shop for several years, never had a chance to come in after the shop was confiscated.

Now that he walked into this once familiar house again, his first impression was the same as that of Han Luqing, completely strange, amazing!

The decoration of this noodle shop is entirely Su Xiazhi's own idea.

She used partitions to divide the four rooms that were originally connected in a row into twelve small single rooms, and the partitions were only separated by a carved wooden wall of original color. Inside was a rectangular table with three chairs.

That is to say, six people can sit in one compartment at the same time.

The color of the tables and chairs is the same as that of the partition wooden wall, both primary colors.

It is precisely because of the use of such simple primary colors that the shop that was originally surrounded by so many small spaces does not look crowded. On the contrary, the tables and chairs with sharp edges and corners make people feel uncomfortable when looking inside. This shop is exceptionally clean and tidy!

Dividing the four well-lit and bright rooms into such a small layout was beyond Zhou Shu and Han Luqing's mind.

The independent and open cubicles just take care of the tempers of the college students. As long as this is done right, this shop has already captured the hearts of the people. No wonder their restaurant business has been affected so much!

Walking around the noodle shop where many customers were already seated, I saw Su Xiazhi sitting in the corner cubicle and smiling at them, the two of them rushed over and took their seats in embarrassment.

"I admire it..." Zhou Shu shook his head and said with a long voice: "This shop was originally my home. I have lived here for so many years, and I feel like I don't know it when I come in."

Su Xiazhi pursed her lips in joy, without being modest, she raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for each of them and handed them over. A strong aroma of wheat spread in the cubicle, and Han Luqing happily held up the simple cup Come and take a closer look: "This cup...is made of bamboo? This tea is..."

"Barley tea." Su Xiazhi raised her hand to signal him to taste it.

"Barley tea?" Han Luqing, who has a lot of research on eating and drinking, first took a bamboo teacup and sniffed the tea after hearing this strange name, and then took a sip...

"Yeah!" He nodded to Zhou Shu: "Try it too, it's very special!"

Zhou Shu has been with his mother since he was a child, and his mother lived here alone, and he didn't pay much attention to food and drink. Seeing Han Luqing's expression as if he had found a treasure, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: it's just a cup of tea, so why not...

The mellow taste of the tea lingers on the teeth and cheeks. Zhou Shu, who never cared about these things, also felt that the taste was very fresh, so he couldn't help but take a few sips in a row!

Seeing the bottom of the cup of tea, Su Xiazhi raised his hand to pour it for the two of them again, and said in a soft voice: "Is there something wrong with the two young masters? Apart from the matter of recruiting me into the gang, you can talk about everything else."

"Ahem!" Han Luqing, who had just picked up his teacup and took a sip, choked immediately after hearing her words. He hurriedly put down the cup, took out a handkerchief from the armhole to wipe his lips, and looked at Zhou Shu in embarrassment. The meaning is self-explanatory.

They came here today to talk about this.Now that what Su Xiazhi said made it clear that there was nothing to talk about?
Zhou Shu only glanced at Han Luqing, then looked at Su Xiazhi with a smile: "Mrs. Min has already gagged my brother's mouth, I really don't know how to speak!"

"What are you talking about?" Su Xiazhi smiled very politely and kindly: "The noodle shop I run is in the catering business, and the customers are the ones who come, so blocking people's mouths is betting my own money."

These words... Zhou Shu thought about it several times in his heart, and finally let out a cry of pain, as if he understood what Su Xiazhi meant...
