Chapter 163 [New Formula]
The scene in the tavern, as well as the drunkards standing on the wall outside the tavern with bowls in their hands, made the little fox very curious for a while.
After walking out to the street, Hu Yun raised his head and asked:
"Sir, what does wine taste like? Why are so many people so obsessed with it?"
Walking forward with hands behind his back, Fang Chang said with a smile: "Well, for ordinary people, it can make yourself confused and forget all kinds of troubles in life; it can also boost emotions and adjust the atmosphere, and it is also a good excuse for many things. Of course, It’s also a traumatic thing.”
The little fox's eyes were full of confusion, half understanding, but he still nodded.
Fang Chang looked down at the little fox demon, and then said: "Of course, with your current appearance, it's better not to touch this kind of thing. When you grow up and know what life is, you may also know what it is." It's wine."
Then, he pointed forward: "Here, that's Lao Xu's noodle stall, let's go there."
It was in the evening when there were a lot of customers, and the stall owner, Lao Xu, was very busy. His hands were like turning over lotus flowers, and like running water, he pulled the thin noodles into the pot. For the topping, sprinkle some chopped green onion, sprinkle with two drops of sesame oil, and let the waiter serve it to each diner.
The signature here is lamb noodles, but not everyone can afford it.
Many people come here just to fill their stomachs. They want a bowl of tofu noodles or sesame sauce noodles, potherb noodles, and some element noodles, and then eat them up and continue to make ends meet.
"Two bowls of mutton noodles."
Fang Chang took Hu Yun, found an adjacent empty seat and sat down, and then called out to Lao Xu, the stall owner next to him.
"Okay~!" The stall owner responded with a long voice, turned his head and found that it was an acquaintance, and immediately said: "Long time no see, guest officer, wait a moment, I'll be here soon."
"No rush, no hurry."
There was a change of people at the stall, the little guy from before was gone, and the people running errands back and forth had turned into young women and strong men, who should be Lao Xu's daughter Lian Rong and her husband.
It seems that after the last conversation, the boy Xu Wuren went to school in a distant place, and this mutton noodle stall will be passed on to his son-in-law by Xu.
Although there were a lot of customers, the quick movements he had practiced for many years made Lao Xu completely worthwhile. Not long after, the young man took two bowls of noodles and gently placed them in front of Fang Chang and Hu Yun.
After thanking them, the two took out their chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and buried their heads in eating noodles.
"Well, it's delicious, it's so delicious~!"
After eating with chopsticks, his mouth was filled with the aroma of noodles and meat. The little fox seemed to have tasted such delicious food for the first time.
He didn't slow down until he swallowed more than half of the bowl, and began to taste carefully.
Seeing all kinds of seasonings in the wooden box on the table, Hu Yun tried each of them to satisfy his curiosity.
Fang Chang was also moving his chopsticks.
This noodle is still as soft, tender, smooth, and fragrant as usual. It tastes very smooth, warm and comfortable, and has a strong sense of satiety.
But what caught his attention the most was that this side was improved compared to the last time.
It just so happened that the sky was getting dark and the number of customers waiting for noodles at the stall finally decreased. The stall owner, Lao Xu, was resting beside the cauldron, wiping his hands.
So Fang Chang smiled and asked: "Old Xu, your formula has changed again?"
"Yes." The stall owner, Lao Xu, supported the panel with one hand, and said, "I haven't stopped improving over the years. There is no end to delicious food, not to mention, even regular customers like a little more variation. .
"The idea this time was suggested by Lianrong. I tried it and it feels good. Today's noodles are mixed with a little seasonal vegetables for seasoning, which is refreshing and relieves greasy taste, but it does not overwhelm the guests in terms of taste. It's more of an embellishment. How about it, doesn't it feel better?"
Fang Chang nodded and gave a thumbs up, expressing his praise to Lao Xu.
At this time, there was a figure not far away, carrying a load, he walked firmly and fast, his shadow was stretched by the setting sun, like a tall and straight pine tree.
"Have a bowl of mutton noodles!"
"Hey, old Xie, you came too late today, there is no lamb, do you want tofu noodles with sesame sauce?"
"No more..." The person who came was none other than Lao Xie from Huaifeng Mansion. He worked as a messenger between Huaifeng Mansion and Long'an Mansion. To eat a bowl of mutton noodles here, never stop.
Hearing that the mutton was sold out, he was a little disappointed, so he found a place to sit down and said, "Then let's have a bowl of tofu noodles."
"Okay~!"
The stall owner immediately took action and began to tear and cook the noodles.
Lao Xie put away his shoulder pole and goods, glanced around, saw Fang Chang, and approached him.
"Meet you again, Mr. Fang." He saluted slightly, then saw the sword on Fang Chang's back, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. is actually a member of the Jianghu?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Fang Chang replied while eating his face, "It's not from the rivers and lakes, it's just Fangwai scattered people."
After chatting for a while, he introduced Hu Yun next to Xie Guang'an, saying that he was a child of a friend's family, and he was entrusted to bring him out to see the world.
Hu Yun next to him ate up the noodles in the bowl, and tried his best to restrain the urge to lick the bowl. Noticing this scene, Fang Chang asked him, "Are you full?"
"I'm not full. But sir, this noodle is so delicious, no wonder everyone says it's good outside the mountain." The fox gave a high evaluation of the mutton noodles that he ate today in an exclamational tone. The outside world is more yearning.
Xie Guangan next to him smiled and said:
"As the saying goes, 'Half-sized children, eat to death'. At this age, it is the time when you can eat to grow your body. It is normal for a bowl of noodles to not fill you up."
Fang Chang nodded, and added another bowl of tofu noodles to Hu Yun.
Xie Guangan's and Hu Yun's noodles came one after another. Although it was tofu, it was also fried with additional ingredients. Its appearance and taste were a bit like meat, with a unique flavor. The little fox was very happy to eat it.
…………
After exchanging some recent information with Xie Guangan, and after inquiring about some situations, Fang Chang took the fox who had finished eating the noodles, and left the mutton noodle stall after accounting. At this time, Xie Guangan had just eaten less than half of the bowl of noodles .
They are looking for accommodation in town.
If it was Fang Chang himself, it would be easy, just find a tree branch or eaves and sleep comfortably for the night.
However, he went to Liu Changqing's house first.
It can be seen that the family is living a prosperous life. There are bricks piled up in the fenced courtyard, and it seems that they are preparing to rebuild the courtyard wall. There was another calf in the barn, shiny and well looked after. There are also chickens and ducks walking back and forth, making rattling sounds.
Liu Ahuang was lying on the bed watching the sunset, Fang Chang walked up, hooked his fingers across the fence, then turned and walked out of the town.
He found a place to sit down, and after a while, the dog demon followed him all the way.
"Ah Huang pays homage to Fang Shangxian."
"Long time no see, how are you doing?" Fang Chang asked with a smile.
"Since Shangxian helped the family through the catastrophe, life is getting better every day. My food standard has improved, but I often miss A Niu-how is he doing recently?"
"You mean that bull demon? I've seen it before, and it lives very comfortably every day." The little fox interjected beside him.
