Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Li Er kept eating, one bite after another.

The diced meat in this Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) is as big as a fingernail! You'd be lucky if the ones sold outside even had a hint of meat flavor.

Moreover, this sauce smells terrible, unlike the other sauce which is very fragrant and has a slightly sweet taste.

Mmm, delicious, delicious! Such delicious noodles only cost five coins a bowl?

He really got a great deal!

I got a little thirsty halfway through the meal, and then remembered that I had two bottles of drink left, so I poured Sprite into a glass and took a sip.

After taking a sip of Sprite, Li Er was so overwhelmed by the unprecedented taste that he trembled all over and let out a soft sigh.

Then I continued to eat with my head down.

Eating a couple of bites of noodles and taking a big gulp of Sprite, I feel like life is just too good.

The bowl of noodles was quickly emptied, and Li Er drank his Sprite in one gulp, sighing, "This bowl of noodles isn't enough; I still have a bottle of drink left."

So he said to Lin Xiaoqian, "Boss, another bowl, please!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqian responded and went into the kitchen, thinking to herself that these ancient people must have a huge appetite.

After Lin Xiaoqian went into the kitchen, Zhang Daniu poked his head in again: "Li Er, how is it going?"

Li Er twisted his body and gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely amazing! No wonder it's something the prince has eaten. I've never had such delicious Zhajiangmian in my life."

He raised his glass and said, "I've never even heard of this drink before."

These words made Zhang Daniu very eager to try them out. Seeing that Li Er had already eaten a bowl of noodles inside and was perfectly fine, he also went into the shop.

As soon as they entered, they started praising the store.

"Wow, this shop is so beautiful, it's almost like a palace."

"I wonder what material these floor tiles are made of."

"And this table, these chairs. They're so beautiful."

Zhang Daniu muttered to himself for a long time, then swallowed hard when he saw Li Er leisurely drinking his beverage.

"Li Er, can I have a taste of your drink?"

Li Er quickly covered it up: "I paid for this, go buy your own if you want to drink it."

Zhang Daniu muttered, "Stingy."

At this moment, Lin Xiaoqian came out from behind, saw Zhang Daniu, was taken aback, and then smiled and said, "Welcome, would you like some Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)?"

Seeing such a beautiful and wealthy young woman smiling at him, Zhang Daniu felt a little shy and said, "Eat, eat."

Lin Xiaoqian placed the bowl in front of Li Er and said to Zhang Daniu, "Please sit wherever you like."

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Daniu quickly found a seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the crowd of onlookers outside couldn't stand it any longer and came into the shop.

A dozen or so people suddenly rushed into the store.

Lin Xiaoqian was a little dumbfounded: "Are you all here to eat Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)?"

The people stood somewhat reservedly at the doorway, afraid that their feet would dirty the clean floor and annoy Lin Xiaoqian.

When Lin Xiaoqian asked them, they quickly nodded.

Lin Xiaoqian was a little troubled: "But there's only enough fried sauce for seven people. Why don't you discuss it and leave it for seven people to eat, and I'll make more tomorrow, then you can come back."

Since it was just a tasting at noon, she didn't make much fried sauce, only a little over ten servings, which was definitely not enough for the dozen or so people.

But the sun is already in the west, and it will probably be dark in less than two hours.

There was no electricity in the shop, and she didn't want to continue making fried sauce by candlelight.

After discussing it, the people decided that two people would share a bowl of noodles, making a total of 14 people.

After all, who knows if they'll have the courage to go back into the store tomorrow?

Seeing that they had all discussed it, Lin Xiaoqian went inside to cook noodles.

Before the noodles were even cooked, Gao Guanyu came in with his servants.

I was taken aback when I saw the store was full of people.

The common people living under the imperial city knew many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and Gao Guanyu and his group naturally knew them as well.

A quick-witted member of the public greeted him, "Greetings, Young Master Gao."

Gao Guanyu nodded casually, thinking to himself that these people were lucky to be able to eat the delicious food made by the young lady of a reclusive family.

Lin Xiaoqian heard the bell ringing and peeked out of the small window in the back kitchen. She saw the servants behind Gao Guanyu carrying several small jars and immediately understood.

"Young Master Gao, you can go to the counter and choose your own drink. Take whatever you like."

Gao Guanyu nodded and led his servants to the beverage counter to select drinks.

The people watched with some curiosity as Gao Guanyu unscrewed the bottles one by one and poured the contents into the jar.

Zhang Daniu sidled up to Li Er and asked, "Li Er, do you know what that young master Gao was pouring out?"

Li Er knew this, of course, and pointed to the orange juice and Sprite on the table: "That's how you drink it. The boss said the bottles can't be taken away, so Young Master Gao must have brought a jar from home to take the drinks back with him."

Zhang Daniu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Is it really that good?"

Li Er replied, "Of course! It tastes even better than honey."

Zhang Daniu couldn't help but lick his lips. Just then, Lin Xiaoqian came over with a tray.

"Hey boss, how much is this drink?" He pointed to the beverage in front of Li Er.

Lin Xiaoqian put down the bowl and glanced at it: "Two coins a bottle."

"Two coins? That's not expensive. Give me a bottle."

Lin Xiaoqian pointed to the beverage counter: "Go get whatever you want to drink. The cups are behind the cashier's table."

Zhang Daniu looked at Gao Guanyu and his servant busily working next to the beverage counter and hesitated for a moment.

Perhaps we should wait until Young Master Gao leaves before taking it.

Zhang Daniu glanced at Gao Guanyu, stirred his noodles with chopsticks, and then picked up a mouthful and put it in his mouth.

Only after the noodles were in his mouth did Zhang Daniu turn his attention back to the present.

This is some kind of divine fried noodles! How can it be so delicious? Zhang Daniu is almost crying with joy.

He chewed the noodles with soybean paste in his mouth with gusto, and only one word filled his mind: Delicious!

Gao Guanyu had also poured the drinks and thoughtfully placed the empty bottles on the cashier's table.

There were too many kinds of drinks in the refrigerated display case. Although Gao Guanyu had taken quite a few cans, he still couldn't pour them all out.

Thinking he would come back for more noodles with soybean paste tomorrow, he finished all the drinks he hadn't taken with him before reluctantly saying goodbye to Lin Xiaoqian. He still had to make a detour to Prince Cheng's Mansion to deliver his uncle's share.

After Gao Guanyu left, the atmosphere in the shop became more relaxed. They were all ordinary people, and they were still somewhat wary of the princes and nobles.

Zhang Daniu ran to the beverage counter to choose a drink.

The others looked and realized, "That's right, there's not much Zhajiangmian left, so they can only have one serving for two people. But there's still a whole cabinet of drinks, so they can each have a bottle, right?"

After asking Lin Xiaoqian about the prices, they all rushed to the beverage counter to pick out what to drink.

Some people saw the red one and took a bottle of Wanglaoji herbal tea because it looked nice, while others wanted to try the black one and took a bottle of cola, and still others took mineral water or milk tea.

Everyone had slightly different drinks, so they discussed taking turns drinking from each other.

Lin Xiaoqian sat behind the cashier, watching with amusement. That young master Gao was taking the can home to drink, but he probably wouldn't have tasted as many varieties as these ordinary people in front of him.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, they paid the bill and reluctantly left the store.

That Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) was so delicious! I ate half a bowl and still wasn't enough. I'm definitely going to have another bowl tomorrow.

Lin Xiaoqian locked the shop door and went to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of braised rice noodles. Although it was fast food, this brand of braised rice noodles was especially delicious and was her favorite.

I put the cooked rice noodles on the cashier, cut myself a piece of watermelon, washed some cherries, poured myself a glass of juice, then turned on my phone, played a downloaded TV show, and began to slowly enjoy my dinner.
