Chen Yuanyuan walked for less than ten minutes to the Saiyihui betting station closest to the apartment.
As the World Cup final was approaching, the betting station was crowded with people inside and outside. Chen Yuanyuan finally found a gap to get into the crowd.
Chen Yuanyuan opened her betting account. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. She touched her empty stomach and decided to feed her stomach first.
After she was reborn today, she ate a piece of layer cake and a box of snow-kissed strawberries. Even though she had two meals of food and clothing during the apocalypse, she only ate coarse grains and bran rice, completely unable to enjoy her appetite.
Chen Yuanyuan walked to a noodle shop, and the familiar smell of fireworks hit her face. The old-style decoration and handwritten price list in the noodle shop looked nostalgic and warm.
Chen Yuanyuan found a seat in the corner and sat down. She had often had lunch at this noodle shop when she went to the company to visit her father when she was a child.
A fat middle-aged woman was skillfully wrapping wontons in the store. When she saw Chen Yuanyuan, she walked over familiarly.
"Yuanyuan, let's eat wonton noodles again!" Sister Ping wiped the table, took a glass of boiling water and put it in front of Chen Yuanyuan.
"Well, Sister Ping, give me a bowl of wonton noodles," Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while, a bowl of noodles was not enough, "I also need a side of clean beef brisket."
"Okay." Sister Ping turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Old man, one bowl of fine rice and one plate of clean belly!"
Chen Yuanyuan took a look at the menu, and the dazzling array of pasta made her salivate.
Wonton noodles, beef brisket noodles, beef tendon noodles, beef offal noodles, fish egg noodles, fried noodles with soybean paste⋯⋯
In less than ten minutes, Sister Ping served hot wonton noodles and beef brisket in front of her.
"Eat slowly. If you don't have enough noodles, I'll give you more!" Sister Ping said, and returned to her seat to continue making wontons.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the wonton noodles in front of her and moved her fingers. Xiangcheng's wontons are famous far and wide.
The wontons, which are as big as ping pong balls, are tender and chewy, and every bite is filled with shrimp meat.
Finely chopped green onion is placed on the handmade bamboo noodles, and the light aroma of green onion is paired with the elastic thin noodles. The texture and taste are sublimated.
Take another bite of the beef brisket in clear soup. The beef tastes soft and tender without any unnecessary seasoning, which highlights the original aroma of the beef.
The fat and thin beef brisket has been slow-cooked for a long time but not greasy. Chen Yuanyuan took one bite after another, enjoying the pleasure of eating meat.
"Hiccup~" Chen Yuanyuan felt full after eating a bowl of noodles. After eating, it’s time to get down to business!
"Sister Ping, how many meals do you serve at the peak of lunch here?" Chen Yuanyuan looked at the small store. She planned to store some food in the space, but she was afraid that Sister Ping and her husband would be too busy.
"Even though our store is small, there are a lot of takeaways in nearby offices. There can be two to three hundred bowls in a lunch market," Sister Ping said.
"I have a foreign client whose wife works at an international school. Their school has a Chinese food festival. He asked me to find some recommended food for him. I would like to order a meal from you." Chen Yuanyuan originally wanted to use I went to order food in the name of company team building, but I couldn't order so much at once, so I just used the foreign customers of the foreign trade company as an excuse.
"Of course you are welcome. I will separate the noodle soup and deliver it to school without affecting the taste. How much do you want to order?" When Sister Ping heard that there was a big order, she immediately stopped making wontons.
"The event lasts for five days. The school has nearly 2,000 people in the middle school and primary school. However, we have to order other food. I want to order 200 servings of pasta and 100 servings of clean food every day, a little of each kind."
Sister Ping calculated the price and went to the kitchen to discuss it with her husband.
"One day's meal expenses are 8,800 yuan, and the total for five days is 44,000 yuan. Just calculate 40,000 yuan!"
Chen Yuanyuan transferred 40,000 yuan to Sister Ping's mobile phone and made an appointment to pick up food at the store at 11 a.m. next Monday to Friday.
