Chapter 39 Eat Cold Noodles
The cold noodle shop is open-air, and a straw shed was built on it. There are four tables and chairs in the grass shed, and their hearth is next to the grass shed.
The cold noodle seller is a couple with a child aged eight or nine.
Seeing Zhao Dong and his party come in, the store owner hurried over to greet them warmly, just in time to hear Zhao Zhitong say that she already knew how to write her own name, so she smiled and said, "Your young man is so handsome."
Sun Youcai hurriedly said, "No, this is my little niece."
The store owner was amazed: "Hey, girl dolls, you can even read. So you guys are scholars."
Zhao Dong hurriedly said: "No, no, her grandfather is a doctor, so she just got a few words from her grandfather."
Then interrupted and put aside the topic: "Boss, how much is a bowl of your cold noodles?"
As soon as the business came, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Two coins, one bowl."
Zhao Dong ordered eight bowls of cold noodles after checking the number of people.
As soon as he heard that it was so much, the shopkeeper's face burst into smiles, and he said immediately: "Okay, you sit down first, it will be ready soon."
Then he shouted at the woman who was busy in front of the stove: "Eight bowls of cold noodles."
At this time, Mrs. Liu who came in from behind heard it, and immediately stopped it: "No, boss, I want six bowls, just six bowls."
Then he said to Zhao Dong: "I'm not hungry, so I don't need to eat. Daqing and Daxiang are small people, so just eat a bowl for both of them."
The shopkeeper was not annoyed, and immediately responded: "Okay, eight bowls will be replaced by six bowls."
Zhao Dong sighed helplessly, and finally didn't say anything. He was born as a farmer and came from poverty. He could understand the second aunt's thoughts, and he just wanted to save money.
The little monkeys were also rare and honest, they all sat on the stools obediently, staring at the direction of the stove.
Soon, bowls of cold noodles were served.
Looking at the green noodles, Zhao Zhitong opened his mouth wide and made an exaggerated expression: "Wow, the color of these noodles is so pretty."
The store owner was amused by Zhao Zhitong's cute appearance, and explained enthusiastically: "This is the noodles made with the juice of locust leaves, put into the well water to cool naturally, refreshing and sweet, refreshing and relieving heat, which is just right for this season."
Zhao Dong smiled and cheered: "Well, it smells good, it has the fragrance of locust tree leaves."
Then said: "Boss, please help us get two empty bowls."
It’s no surprise that the shopkeepers are all farmers. They know that earning money is not easy, so when they came out, the family of three who ate a bowl of noodles all went away, so they happily said with a smile: “Okay, just wait a moment.”
After a while, the boss brought over the empty bowl.
Mrs. Liu divided one bowl of noodles into two equal bowls, and gave one bowl to Sun Daqing and the other to Sun Daxiang.
Then said: "An empty bowl is enough. I'm not hungry. I'll eat two bites of pancakes with the soup that Daqing finished eating later. I can eat when I get home."
As he said that he was about to return the empty bowl to the store owner, Zhao Zhitong didn't want to, so he stopped her directly, grabbed her sleeve with his little hand, and dragged her back to the table, looking like a little grown-up: "Second aunt, you must eat noodles Only drink soup, we are a family, um, a family, we should have the same blessings and share the same hardships."
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and awkwardly put the noodles in his own bowl into the empty bowl.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, the second aunt knows what the girl wants."
Zhao Zhitong insisted: "No, the second aunt doesn't want to eat it, so I don't want to eat it either."
As he spoke, he pursed his mouth, crossed his two small arms in front of his chest, and looked angry.
Zhao Dong spoke at this time: "Second sister-in-law, you can eat, this is the child's wish."
As he spoke, he gave Sun Youli a look, and Sun Youli hurriedly said to his daughter-in-law, don't let the child down.
Liu finally compromised: "All right, I'll eat, haha."
Zhao Zhitong was happy now, took chopsticks, and with Zhao Dong's help, picked up half a bowl of noodles for Liu Shi.
The little guys on the side saw it, and they all put noodles in Liu's bowl.
Sun Daqing: "Mom, I'll give you a bite of mine."
Sun Daji: "Second Aunt, I have a full bowl, but I can't finish it. I'll give it to you."
Sun Daxiang: "There is still me, and there is me."
…
With a happy smile on Mrs. Liu's face, she hurried to stop them, and finally evened the faces of the three children, and said, "Hurry up, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Zhao Zhitong was also happy , holding the noodles and yelling: "Second aunt, cold noodles are always cold."
Everyone was amused in an instant, and the atmosphere on the table was joyous, and everyone who attracted the noodles in the store was infected.
A few little guys are eating noodles, and they are delicious.
The noodles are refreshing and sweet, with a faint fragrance of locust leaves, spreading in the mouth bit by bit.
Zhao Zhitong blinked, thinking that this is the best noodle she has ever eaten. In fact, these are just ordinary noodles, not as much as Sun Mei made at home.
It's just that these noodles are hard to come by, and the mood of the people who eat them is different.
Just as they were eating noodles happily, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, breaking the harmony.
"Hey, isn't this the second brother? Let's eat noodles here."
Zhao Zhitong looked up and saw someone he didn't like.
Although she is young, children are extremely sensitive. Whoever likes her and who doesn't like her can feel it right away.
The two people in front of her are her third aunt and her natal brother Wang Gou, and the girl next to her dressed like a butterfly is the third aunt's daughter Zhao Cai.
In my memory, my third uncle and third aunt didn't like her, and they always allowed their second daughter, Zhao Cai, to bully her.
The third aunt's natal brother is also bad, and every time he comes to the house, he pinches her face, so Zhao Zhitong doesn't like them either, and he doesn't bother to shout, so he continues to eat noodles.
Zhao Dong raised his head, saw the person coming, and said with a half smile: "Yes, eat some noodles."
They obviously don't feel Zhao Dong's indifference, or they don't care at all whether you want to talk to him or not.
The third aunt, Xiao Wang, had already walked in, looking at the noodles in their bowls, her eyes showed a bit of disgust: "Tsk tsk, why do you eat noodles in this kind of place, it's so shabby."
Zhao Cai also came in with her mother, looked at the noodles in Zhao Zhitong's bowl with disgust, and said in surprise: "You actually eat this kind of food, my pigs don't even eat it."
As he spoke, he wanted to push Zhao Zhitong's noodle bowl in disgust.
Dare to touch her face, Zhao Zhitong got angry, and immediately glared at her, growling fiercely: "Ugly, don't touch my face."
Being called ugly, Zhao Cai immediately became unhappy: "Who are you calling ugly!"
Zhao Zhitong grinned: "Little fool, I'm just scolding you."
Seeing that the two little babies were arguing, Zhao Dong was worried that the third sibling would hit someone, so he hurriedly pulled Zhao Zhitong to his side.
Xiao Wang was about to have a fit, but when he thought of going out, the head of the family would explain, so he suppressed his anger abruptly.
smiled and said: "Children, just kidding, hehe. But, second brother, you too, come to the market, why don't you look for us, just eat something in our tavern."
After receiving Xiao Wang's gaze, her natal brother Wang Gou also smiled and said: "That's right, my sister's tavern is right in front, you eat noodles in this kind of place, why don't you go to the tavern. I see your side It must not be enough to eat, and it is not delicious, let's go, go to my sister's tavern now."
