Wang Xiaoyi looked up and said with some surprise: "If I want to treat you to dinner, I must have something good. I can't just give you a bowl of noodles."
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I haven't eaten at this restaurant for a long time, and I've known the owner of this restaurant for a long time. You can just accompany me. We can eat whatever we want together. We don't have to choose." "
She took a look inside and said, "Okay, then I want to thank you for saving me money."
I said, "You're welcome. In fact, it's not interesting to have a big meal. Street noodle restaurants like this are the only ones that have the atmosphere of the world. Sometimes an ordinary bowl of noodles is worth a luxurious dinner in a five-star hotel." .”
She looked at me with a faint smile on her face and said thoughtfully: "So, it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with, right?"
I nodded: "Yes, if you are with the person you like, then even if the two of you eat a grilled cold noodles at the night market, you will feel happy in your heart."
She covered her mouth and chuckled: "I understand, you plan to invite me to the night market to eat grilled cold noodles next time, and you plan to only buy one portion for the two of you... That's really stupid, no wonder you want to eat noodles, this is for you Would you like to treat me to some grilled cold noodles as a preparation?"
I didn’t understand the connotation of her words for a while. In fact, I just gave an example casually. After hearing this, I scratched my head and said: "Uh...that can’t be done. How can I only buy one for two people? Next time we go to the teacher's school." From one end of the big night market to the other, I’ll spend it all!”
She looked at me with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to hold my arm: "Okay, okay, you are so ignorant... Let's go eat noodles, but we must agree first that I won't eat a bowl of noodles with you!" "
What does she mean by this?
I didn't have time to think too much before she pulled me in.
When I entered the store, I looked up and took a quick look. Everything was still the same as before. Even the tables, chairs and furnishings were almost unchanged, but they looked a little older.
Logically speaking, it should be dinner time at this time, but there was not a single customer in the restaurant, and it was deserted.
A man is sitting behind a table in the corner, watching TV series on a tablet with a bag of melon seeds next to him.
He was eating melon seeds, watching TV, and jumping back and forth with his legs crossed.
I haven't seen him for a few years. This guy has become a little fatter and his face is rounder. He is wearing a fat T-shirt and looks more like a noodle shop owner.
There was also a man sitting across the table, holding a mobile phone and concentrating on playing games.
These two people are really dedicated, one is the boss and the other is the employee, and they have not changed in so many years.
I walked over, smiled and said, "Boss, bring me two bowls of beef noodles, without the coriander and more meat."
The two men raised their heads at the same time, and were stunned when they first looked at me. Then the melon seed eater slowly put down the melon seeds in his hand, looked at me and laughed.
"Boy, long time no see. Where is the girl who came to eat noodles with you last time?"
His sister, as soon as she comes up, she won’t open any pot and lift it...
I sat down awkwardly, coughed twice and said, "Ahem...that happened several years ago, so I won't mention it anymore. How is your business lately? Aunt Tang?"
Wang Xiaoyi looked surprised. She looked at me and then at Aunt Tang who was standing next to us, but she didn't ask anything. She just smiled and nodded to Aunt Tang.
That's right, this noodle shop is Aunt Tang's shop that I haven't seen for a long time.
Actually, I don’t remember when I started to stop coming to his place. I guess it may be because I stopped driving a taxi and stayed at home every day, so I became more and more lazy.
But he directly asked the girl who came to eat noodles with me last time. This memory really hit me suddenly.
The girl who came to eat noodles with me last time was Zhang Wenwen...
When Aunt Tang saw me asking about the business, she spread her hands and said, "As you can see, there is no one, so we only need to pay for one day, as long as we don't starve to death."
I comforted him: "That's normal. We were walking along the road just now, and there were almost no people in the restaurants we passed."
Aunt Tang said: "Yeah, isn't it? A new building has been built over there, and many shops have been opened. The location is good, and the shops are new, so this street has become deserted and not many people come here."
I said, "That's okay. You are an old store and rely on repeat customers."
Aunt Tang said: "These people don't look back. Just like you, you look back every few years. I won't starve to death because of you."
I said awkwardly: "Then if you say so...can I choose something more expensive?"
I said the last sentence to Wang Xiaoyi. She laughed, pointed at the menu and said, "Okay, pick the most expensive item. Except for the noodles, as long as you have the same dish at home, you can have it."
Aunt Tang took a breath and said to me: "Good guy, you have made a fortune, are you so arrogant?"
I smiled disapprovingly and said, "It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it. Anyway, someone is treating me today."
Wang Xiaoyi also smiled and said: "Yes, I will pay for all the purchases today!"
Aunt Tang looked shocked, gave me a thumbs up, said okay, and then went to the kitchen.
Don't be afraid, in fact, there are not many dishes on his menu. After all, this is just a small noodle shop, with only some simple dishes. There are only five or six kinds in one serving.
The most expensive ones are the soy beef and tripe strips that cost tens of dollars...
Watching Aunt Tang busy inside, a long-lost sense of intimacy arose spontaneously. I went to the freezer and took two bottles of drinks, opened them, and handed one to Wang Xiaoyi.
She took the drink and took a sip, then asked me in a low voice: "Are you familiar with this boss? You used to bring girls here?"
I almost spit out the drink as soon as I took it into my mouth, so I quickly said: "No, no, I always came here a few years ago, and I happened to pass by today, otherwise I would have forgotten."
She curled her lips and said, "Don't avoid the point. What I'm asking is, did you often bring girls here before?"
I wiped my mouth with a tissue and said awkwardly: "How is that possible? When I was my first girlfriend, I brought her here to have noodles."
She said a long "oh" and asked again: "Do you always bring noodles to your virgin friends?"
My eyes began to wander: "That's not true. I only have that one girlfriend. Didn't I tell you, I haven't been here for several years."
She chuckled: "If you say that, should I be happy or should I be happy?"
I scratched my head: "Uh... uh... I didn't mean to do it actually. By the way, their cold tripe strips are delicious."
Wang Xiaoyi looked at me deeply, and then shouted to the kitchen: "Aunt Tang, put more chili in the cold tripe!"
Aunt Tang was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Okay!"
I smiled and said to Wang Xiaoyi: "It's best not to shout the name Aunt Tang, especially when there are people around."
Wang Xiaoyi looked at me in surprise: "Why, isn't his name called this? I also want to ask you, he is a man, why should he be called Tang Yi? Is he the Yi who raised his heart?"
I shook my head: "No, she is the aunt of the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt."
Wang Xiaoyi was a little confused: "What do you mean, he is a woman?"
I nodded: "Well, he was once a woman."
Wang Xiaoyi suddenly realized: "Ah... you've changed your gender?"
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up, and I looked at Aunt Tang who was busy in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Yes, he used to be an old lady, and the waiter next to him used to be...a mule."
