Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"Would you like to go get something to eat?"

A clear and familiar female voice sounded in my ears.

Lu Ren raised his head and found Bei Dao Xiao standing in front of him. He quickly adjusted his mood and asked with a smile: "Why are you here and not accompanying them in the car?"

"It's boring in the car." Kitajima Xiao explained and repeated, "Do you want to go get something to eat?"

"It's all right."

"Let's go."

The two left the art museum and got into the car again.

Lu Ren didn't turn his head and leaned on the back of his chair and said, "How about we go have a meal together now?"

"No." Maoli replied immediately, "We have been out for a while, and we are ready to go back."

"Okay, then I'll ask the driver to give you a ride."

"no, I'm fine."

After some polite greetings, the Maori family of three got out of the car and prepared to go home on their own.

Bei Dao also told the driver the destination of their trip.

"Go to Hakata Tenryuya."

"Izakaya?"

"No, it's a ramen restaurant."

oh? This was not the place they went to last time.

Lu Ren thought about it and asked, "Then why don't you go to the Nishino Noodle House last time?"

"That one has a light taste, and this one has a strong taste."

Kitajima Shino thought for a while, flexed his fingers and added, "Heavy salt, heavy spicy. The portion is generous, and the barbecued pork is cut very thickly."

this.

Indeed he likes it.

But he never told Kitajima Xiao about this.

"That's really what I like. But how do you know that?"

"I observed it during the last meal. You put a lot of vinegar and chili pepper and finished the soup. And after finishing the meal, you glanced at my face for a while. So I think"

"Stop, that's enough."

Cover your face.

The community died in unexpected ways.

That day, Lu Ren was a little hungry and subconsciously glanced at Kitajima Xiao's bowl.

Just a moment, just a few seconds.

This was all discovered by Kitajima Xiao.

"You are truly a born reporter. This observation is amazing."

"Thanks for the compliment."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the car stopped in front of the alley.

"It's time for us to get off the bus. We have to walk the rest of the way. That store is quite remote."

"Ah."

Kitajima Xiao leads the way.

Lu Ren followed her, and the two of them walked to the end of the alley.

"This is it."

Lu Ren's professional habits were triggered and he began to look at the store.

The shop is a little dilapidated, and a yellow rain shield placed on the door frame has replaced the sign.

On the semicircular board, two Chinese characters are written in ink in the center.

Tianlong.

But as the rain and wind blew, these two Chinese characters became blurred.

There is also a yellow billboard on the left side of the store with the full name of the store written on it.

Hakata Tenryu.

The board also had some age and was very worn.

This kind of fly restaurant usually tastes good.

It's just that there may be a discount in terms of hygiene.

Lu Ren pushed the door open and walked in.

"welcome."

A middle-aged man stood up from his seat. He was wearing a turban, his skin was very white, his eyes were squinted, and his body was round, like a big white bun just taken out of the steamer.

"Is there food now?" Lu Ren asked.

"Yes. What would you like to eat?"

"I want a bowl of soy sauce ramen, lighter in flavor and with slightly firmer noodles." Kitajima Shino made his request.

"Same as hers, with a stronger flavor and slightly softer noodles." Lu Ren thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Can the noodles be thicker?"

"Okay." The boss nodded, "But the thick noodles need to be made fresh. Are you in a hurry to eat them?"

"Forget it, just get the same one as Kaminari." Lu Ren thought about it and decided not to make any more demands, otherwise it would be a bit torture to watch Kitajima Xiao eat from the side.

"Ah."

"Master, put more green onions in his portion."

"no problem."

"I forgot about it." Lu Ren sat on the chair.

"It's okay, I remember. Master, two more bowls of hot water."

"No hot water, only noodle soup."

Bei Dao Xiao looked at Lu Ren tentatively.

Lu Ren understood instantly.

"Then two bowls of noodle soup." Then he explained to Kitajima Xiao in a low voice, "Noodle soup is also considered hot water."

"That's good."

The tables in this shop are long and square, forming a circle.

They are outside the circle and the chef is inside.

Just like a hotel bar.

This kind of thing is relatively rare in China.

Many in Japan are like this, and the utilization rate of space is relatively high.

Menus are posted on the wall.

This is also different from that in China, where a whole menu is posted on the wall.

The menu here is more like post-it notes.

Each one is like a charm, fixed on the wall with nails.

At first glance, it seems very strange.

The more you see, the better.

But as long as the noodles are delicious, these are just details.

Most Japanese food is cold and hard. The portion is not enough either.

Lu Ren is not used to eating much.

But ramen does.

The taste is definitely different from the ones at home, but it's better because it's hot, large, and has soup.

Three to five minutes later, two bowls of noodles were served one after another.

The soup and side dishes are all ready-made, it just takes some effort to cook the noodles.

Lu Ren took a look and found that the barbecued pork was indeed as Kitajima Xiao said, the slices were large and thick.

Shining with an alluring and plump oily sheen.

Lu Ren was quite satisfied.

Suddenly, there were a few more pieces in his bowl. Kitajima Xiao picked them out of her bowl and put them into his bowl.

???

Very happy though.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't eat oily food." Bei Dao Xiao's voice was very low, as if she was afraid that the boss would hear it, and she pointed to the chopsticks in her hand, "These chopsticks are clean, I haven't started eating this bowl of noodles yet. "

"Yeah. Thanks. You're welcome then."

"Ah."

Five minutes later, Lu Ren ended the fight and drank all the soup and noodles.

Bei Dao Xiao on the side looked a little dazed.

She had only eaten half of her noodles.

"Did you eat a little too fast? Isn't it hot?"

"I don't feel it. I'm used to it. I really like the noodles here."

Lu Ren pushed the bowl aside, "Master, let's have another bowl. This time I want wide noodles."

"no problem."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 49 Bei Dao Xiao is in action

One bowl, two bowls.

After three bowls of noodles, Lu Ren put down the bowl, expressing his satisfaction.

"It tastes great." He took out a fortune card from his wallet, slapped it on the table, stood up and said goodbye, "I'll come back next time."

"Sir, I haven't got the change yet."

Lu Ren waved his hand and walked straight out of the ramen shop.

Bei Dao Xiao shook his head at the store and followed Lu Ren.

The two of them walked out of the alley one after another. Lu Ren stood at the entrance of the alley, taking a deep breath of the cold wind and slowly exhaling the exhaust gas.

The spirit was lifted. He smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing me here. This noodles is delicious."

"That's good. Why don't you take a break and eat? Leave the work at the art museum to me."

"also."

After entering the art museum, Kitajima Xiao quickly got into work mode.

She thought for a moment and decided to change her approach, which was different from what Lu Ren did before.
