 Because of her mother's interruption, Lenghui arrived at the hotel a little late, more than twenty minutes later than usual, and even the old lady Wang, who had always been late, was waiting at the door of the store.

In the morning, every minute was raced against time. It was too late. Naturally, Leng Hui didn't care about seeing anything. When entering the store, the kitchen became busy. He didn't pay any attention to the expression on Wang's hesitant and silent expression.

The old lady Wang came early, and the master's house did not open the door, so she could only wait at the door.

So she was the first to discover the difference in Ning Kee Herbal Tea Shop.

This morning, it is rare for the Ning family to be very uniform. In addition to the mother and daughter of the Ning family and the little girl, Ning Yi and Ning Xin brothers and sisters also came.

Not only that, their tricycle also ran back and forth several times, unloading a lot of things.

Mrs. Wang wanted to go over and take a look, but Leng Hui came at this time.

The business in the morning was almost the same as usual, and the customers in the store have never been interrupted.

Leng Mu sat behind the counter as soon as she arrived, occupied the place to collect the money, and never moved. So even if there is one more person, Leng Hui and Mrs. Wang are not much relieved.

On the contrary, it was because Leng Mu was not familiar with the situation, and either miscalculated the money or tore the wrong votes, which increased the work intensity of the two people a lot.

The busy schedule is almost ten o'clock.

Originally, Leng Hui was thinking about waiting for the morning market to pass, so she took a moment to go to the alleys of Ning's house to find out the situation. But because my mother came here suddenly, I had to cancel the plan.

She confessed her fate to wash her hands, picked up the food basket in the kitchen, and said, "You clean up the sanitation, I'll go shopping for groceries." But before the

voice fell, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside.

She was taken aback for a moment.

"Which store has opened again?" she asked subconsciously.

"No, rather firecrackers at home, their home is still hung up in front of two red flag child, as well as on the flag word it! Come see your club, wrote that above what?"

Liked to watch Wanglaotai When I heard the sound of firecrackers, I rushed to the door, and heard Leng Hui's question and answered loudly with excitement at the door.

After hearing this, Leng Hui's eyelids twitched, only to think that something was going on, but she didn't understand what the Ning family was doing?

Hasn't their store already opened? What kind of firecrackers will be set off this year?

Therefore, she also quickened her pace and walked outside the door many times faster than usual.

As soon as she left the house, she saw the red flag spreading outside, with four large characters written on the flags: "San Xian Yi Noodles" and "Xian Tang Yi Noodles".

Seeing these words, Leng Hui's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly with big hands, and she couldn't even breathe.

She knew that the Ning family was about to start a restaurant business.

And this is what Leng Hui is most worried about.

Leng Hui knew better than anyone, why his restaurant opened so smoothly.

One is the choice of location.

The street where they are located is separated by a road from the vegetable market, with a lot of people and people eating. But they are the only ones doing restaurant business around.

The only Ning Kee herbal tea shop that can barely be called a competitor, they sell tea and dim sum, which really does not overlap with the business of their own restaurant.

Business without competition is naturally easy to do.

In addition to this, the good business is also due to the recipe she got in her previous life.

Even if she was reluctant, Leng Hui had to admit that Father Ning's recipe really helped her a lot.

She has relied on that cookbook for her home for two lifetimes.

I won't talk about it in the last life. In this life, she relied on the fried bun and the shredded pork noodles. For more than a month, she was able to earn back all the money from renting a house and buying things at that time.

That's not even the money to the family and the salary to the old lady.

Leng Hui knew that if this continued, it would take less than a year, and even without the three houses of the Ning family, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in Xinnan.

But she also has something to worry about, and that is that the recipe is still in Ning's family in this life.

This has always been the biggest hidden danger in Leng Hui's mind.

She was worried when Ning's family opened a herbal tea shop, but later discovered that they were not selling what was in the recipe, which made her feel a little lucky.

Thinking that Ning Yi was still the same as in his previous life, he didn't take the recipe seriously at all.

After a long time, she almost forgot about it.

But now, when she suddenly saw the word "Yi Mian", Leng Hui's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. There was only one word in

her mind: "It's over." She had seen this noodle in the recipe, and tried to make it before.

It was just that the process was too cumbersome and the cost was too high, so I gave up later.

Now the Ning family has played this sign, not to mention whether they really researched that side, at least it shows that

they have found the recipe, and also discovered the value of the recipe.

Thinking of this, Leng Hui's heart was disappointed and irritable, and at the same time unspeakable resentment emerged.

She stared at Ning Ji's door, her fists clenched, her face looked a bit hideous because of the distortion.

At this time, the Ning Kee Herbal Tea Shop was very lively.

Because they all knew that they were going to start selling the Yimian that was so fragrant that the whole alley could be smelled today, all the old neighbors who had nothing to do at home came to join in.

Not only did they come by themselves, they also spontaneously became promoters one by one. They went to the vegetable market and explained everything to the stalls they were familiar with, and asked them to try it.

Although these aunts and aunts buy not much food every day, they are all old households nearby and they deal with every day.

Those vegetable vendors naturally want to save face. Anyway, they have to eat every day. Whose food is not always the same? It's good to change the taste occasionally.

So all the promises were very happy.

The Ning family also made sufficient preparations for today's opening.

Ning Xin made two flags in advance, and put a table under the flags. On the table was a big tape recorder with four speakers borrowed from the propaganda department of his factory by Uncle Li in the opposite yard. song.

You know, this tape recorder is a rare thing in Xinnan at this time. How many people have heard of it and haven't seen it before, and no restaurant will use it to solicit business.

This tape recorder alone attracted a lot of lively people to watch.

And Ning Xin's tricks didn't stop there.

At ten o'clock, Ning Yi walked out of the house holding a red banner tied to two bamboo poles.

He fixed the banner behind the table.

At the same time, Chen Jing also walked out of the shop with a large tray.

It was already October, and there was a hint of chill in the air. One end of the tray came out, and the indescribable fragrance spread out with the curling heat.

The people who were still fascinated by the tape recorder before, talking, laughing, and humming stopped their voices almost at the same time, and all looked towards the tray.

Chen Jing put the tray down in front of the table, and people saw that there were about fifteen or six small white porcelain tea bowls in the tray.

The tea bowl is not big, each is the size of a child's fist.

And the mouth-watering scent all radiated from the tea bowl.

Everyone swarmed around, all staring at the tea bowl.

I saw a small bite of noodles in every white tea bowl.

A sip is really just a sip. That portion is probably only enough for an adult.

But just such a small amount of noodles, but exuding a strong fragrance that people can't ignore.

"Why is this noodle golden?" I didn't know who shouted in the crowd.

"Because this noodle is kneaded with pure eggs, without a drop of water, you need dozens of eggs for a pot of noodles!" Chen Jing replied loudly in a bragging tone.

There was a gasp in the crowd.

At this time, someone finally saw the banner that Ning Yi had just typed out, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It's free to try? This noodle is for us to eat for free?"

"Yes! Today, our Ning's restaurant reopened and added New varieties. In order to give back to old customers and to let new customers know about our store, we have a free tasting event today. All comrades who pass by can come and taste it for no money. If you like, of course Everyone is also welcome to eat in our store."

Ning Yi finally had the opportunity to read the lines that his sister had forced him to recite all night.

After speaking, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief quietly.

I heard that these noodles can be tasted for free, and there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

At this time, the newly-accepted staff in the medicated food room came forward to maintain order as previously stated.

Let the people who are interested in tasting line up, not only to ensure order, but also to let everyone taste the hot noodles as quickly as possible.

In the early 1980s, it was still a seller's market.

It can be said that as long as there is something special or in demand, there is no need to worry about selling it.

So no one, no matter how big or small a restaurant, would have thought of this trick for free tasting, in a very short time, the news spread quickly throughout the alleys of all sizes nearby, including the vegetable market of course.

The scene is even hotter than the effect of playing a song on a tape recorder just now.

Although there is a tasting, it is free, but how can that bite of noodles fill up your stomach?

The beginning and the end are not enough to fill up, and it also spurs people's gluttons.

As a result, the newly renamed Ningji Snack Shop was already overcrowded.

Not only the tables in the room but also the small tables were all full of people, and even the temporary folding tables set out outside were all full.

Not only that, there are many people who just squat by the roadside to eat with their bowls. Even if there is no place to sit, they all show a satisfied expression after a sip of the soup.

This is undoubtedly another big advertisement for the snack bar.

In less than a day, the reputation of Ning Kee Snack Bar was fought.

Since ten o'clock in the morning that day, the business in the store has not stopped, and there is no way to tell the lunch or evening market.

Ning Xiuxiu immersed herself in cooking the noodles, until the end of the cooking process was numb. At the beginning, she deliberately counted how many bowls she had cooked, but then she couldn't count them at all, basically all of them were done mechanically.

Fortunately, with the lessons learned when the herbal tea shop opened on the first day, this time Ning Xin made preparations in advance.

Not only did all the newly recruited employees of the medicinal food room be able to mobilize to help, but also began to prepare the materials needed for the opening a few days in advance.

She made more than a dozen special molds for single fried noodles at once, even if several places were used at the same time.

Yesterday, Ning Xiuxiu and Mrs. Ning were a little worried when looking at the flour cakes that were about half a house piled up. Later, they held back because they knew that this thing would last for a while and wouldn't go bad for a while. .

But at this moment Ning Xiuxiu really wanted to use her hand that was too tired to hold the chopsticks to give her niece a big thumb!

That night the snack bar did not close until nine o'clock in the evening, because the two large barrels of vegetable gravy were all used up.

Until that time, there were still people queuing at the door.

When I arrived home that night, the whole family was exhausted, but everyone was in a state of excitement, and their hearts were extremely excited.

Seeing the bright eyes of the family, Ning Xin really didn't want to hit this group of friends. But looking at the long empty barrels, and the cardboard boxes that have been able to see the bottom, I still said with a hardened heart: "Well, we may have to work overtime tonight." In a

word, everyone said. The smiles on his face all solidified.

According to Ning Xin's idea, this kind of hot scene would not last a few days.

After all, her first day of publicity was extremely good, and it was normal for her to be crowded.

But this time she miscalculated.

Ning Xin still doesn't know enough about this era. She doesn't understand that people in this era will always put in immense enthusiasm and desire for new things after a long period of repression.

On the second day, after free publicity by friends, colleagues, classmates, etc., the business of the snack bar was not much better than the first day.

The noodles and side dishes that everyone worked overtime last night were sold out before the lunch market ended.

Seeing this situation, Ning Xin decisively decided to sell according to the normal time and leave work at that point. That is to say, we must set aside time for everyone to rest in the middle.

Said to set aside time for rest, but where can we really rest?

All the staff at home can use, such as cutting vegetables, pressing noodles, and running errands back and forth. The old lady didn't come at all, and stayed at home with another handy little girl to make noodles.

And Ding Qin didn't have any time at all. When the market opened in the afternoon, he just fryed two big barrels of food again and sent it over.

The direct consequence of such a hot sale is that the newly recruited waiters in the medicated restaurant are completely insufficient.

On the third day of the opening of the snack bar, a new recruitment notice was posted directly at the entrance of the shop.

It's been a week since Xu Shaonian brought Master Wei to eat noodles. During this time, he went to another place.

As soon as he came back, Master Wei followed the sound to find him as soon as he arrived at the grain shop.

As soon as he came, he insisted on asking him to eat at the Ningji snack bar at noon.

Xu Shaonian couldn't help but feel happy.

"Wei master, you want to treat me get this straight, you are also invited me to dinner ...... then how to say you are also older, even if you are willing to please, I can not eat them!"

Made a very Wei master squint smile , Directly scolded Xu Shao for having a good mouth.

In fact, Xu Shaonian doesn't talk much on weekdays, especially when he is at work, he is even more cautious in his words and deeds.

However, he and Master Wei have been working together to guard the warehouse for almost two years, and the elderly have always taken good care of him. Therefore, he has always respected this old man.

Especially when I later learned that he and Father Ning once had friendships, then in Xu Shaonian's heart, the relationship between the two people got closer.

"Eh, I really want to invite you to dinner. Don't talk about the ones that are not. I've said it at noon today. You are not allowed to arrange other things!"

" Okay . It just so happened that I haven't had time to go after they opened. "

Xu Shaonian came back in the middle of the night last night. He rushed back to work without sleeping for a few hours when he arrived home. He hadn't seen any of the Ning family members.

Of course, Master Wei knew that Xu Shaonian was not at home recently. Hearing him say this, the old man's chat was suddenly aroused.

"I'm telling you, old fire! I have lived so much of my life, and I have never seen a snack bar that can make a business like this! Hey, you haven't seen the opening day... Hey, neither did I See you. It will be two days after I know."

...

From Master Wei's mouth, Xu Shaonian learned about the grand occasion of the Ningji snack bar during his absence. I also understood why Master Wei had to take him with him all the time, to invite him to dinner.

It's because the old man went there for two days and didn't get in the line!

Their lunch break was not long, and they had to go to work in the afternoon, and the elderly could not rob those who lived nearby.

And when he rushed over from get off work at night, the Ning family had almost closed down.

Master Wei has been worried about this for several days, and has been holding his fingers and looking forward to his return!

This reason made Xu Shaonian very ridiculous, but he still agreed: "Okay, I will ride a bike to take you with you at noon. If you can't get in the queue, I'll take a leave of absence in the afternoon, and I will bring it back to you."

Although he knows this is what he is. I was coaxing myself to play, because of the relationship between this kid and Master Ning's son, no matter how much he couldn't even eat a bowl of noodles. But after listening to Xu Shaonian's words, Master Wei was still very comfortable.

At noon that day, under the control of Master Wei, the two quietly chose to leave early.

It was just eleven o'clock when I arrived at Ning Ji.

But even with the words of Master Wei, Xu Shaonian was shocked when he saw the crowd of people at the entrance of the snack bar!

He stood at the door and didn't move, and he couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine a snack bar with only six tables that could gather so many people.

This has to be... there are more than a hundred people already eating, right?

Seeing Xu Shaonian standing there in a daze, Master Wei was anxious and pushed him vigorously: "Hurry in!"

Only then did Xu Shaonian react.

Two people walked into the snack bar together.

Ning Xiuxiu, who was cooking noodles in the remodeled kitchen on the balcony, was the first to see them.

"Shaonian, you are back!" She greeted Xu Shaonian enthusiastically.

In the past few months, Ning Xiuxiu has a very good impression of this gentleman.

Especially when the herbal tea shop hadn't opened before, he came to help.

Ning Xiuxiu has told her mother several times, saying that this child has a good character and is hardworking, and that it is a good match for their family, Xiaoxin.

Let her mother find a way to match it up.

But they were all rejected by the old lady.

The old lady made it very clear that Xiaoxin was a child with an idea, and she had to look at her affairs herself.

And she has to go to university, it is too early to consider these.

After hearing this, Ning Xiuxiu could only give up. But subconsciously there is still an idea to match him with his niece.

Therefore, every time she sees Xu Shaonian, she is habitually extremely enthusiastic.

Xu Shaonian became accustomed to her enthusiasm.

He walked over and smiled at Ning Xiuxiu: "Congratulations, aunt, it's a good start."

Xu Shaonian and Xiaoan have always been called family members after the brothers and sisters. Everyone is used to it, and no one thinks anything is wrong.

Hearing what he said at this moment, Ning Xiuxiu suddenly smiled.

He said proudly, "Which noodles I want to eat, aunt will give it to you!"

After hearing her words, Xu Shaonian hadn't spoken yet, and the customers next to him were unhappy.

Suddenly someone yelled: "Eh, how to

join the team! We are all in line for a long time." One person said so, and the people behind were naturally unhappy after hearing this, and there was a small commotion in the crowd.

The movement here finally attracted Ning Xin who was in the innermost room.

During this period of time, business was so good that the room was about to explode. Ning Xin made a decisive decision and found Uncle Liu again and asked him to rent an extra room.

Uncle Liu is a veteran of the supply and marketing agency, with deep qualifications, and the house is divided into three rooms and one living room, but none of his children live with him.

He and his wife couldn't live in so many rooms, so they wanted to rent out a supplementary home.

They also did not expect that the rented house business would be so hot.

Hearing Ning Xin proposed to rent another house, even if it was not a front house, the house would still be rented according to the previous house. The old couple agreed immediately without any hesitation.

The house can't be used up in the first place, so who would have trouble with money?

Because of the urgency, the house was not renovated at all.

I just used it at night to open a door between the two rooms, and inside it was a table and chair that I bought temporarily.

But even so, I'm fully seated now.

Hearing movement outside, Ning Xin, who was helping with food inside, ran out quickly. Seeing Xu Shaonian's eyes brightened obviously.

Without time to say hello, I heard the voices of dissatisfaction from the surrounding people.

Ning Xin quickly explained in a loud voice: "This is my brother, who just came back from a business trip. Don't be angry, anyway, give us a face. You can't let my brother go home. You can't even eat

food, right?" Ning Xiuxiu also hastily. Echoing on one side: "No, this is my nephew. Didn't you hear him call my aunt? My eldest nephew goes home, can I still be hungry?"

The explanations of the two finally calmed the dissatisfaction of the people around.

Ning Xin took the two of them to the room inside. At this time, it happened that a young couple stood up after eating.

There is no need for anyone to confess at this moment, Xu Shaonian and Master Wei can almost claim this position as fast as flying.

After placing them down, Ning Xin went to work on other things, and Xu Shaonian stood up to go out to serve food.

Master Wei pulled the corner of his clothes, then raised his chin, looking at Ning Xin and asked, "That's Master Ning's daughter?"

Xu Shaonian nodded, "Yes."

Master Wei didn't say much, but Turned his head to look at Xu Shaonian, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile: "Why don't I know that you and Master Ning have relatives that are newly developed?"

There was a bit of ridicule in his tone.
