Chapter 15
Listening to Yang Qi's words, they should stay here for one day, and this day cannot be wasted.
Cheng Shuiyao was shopping around and fixed her sights on a small shop.
"Bai Kee Noodle Shop?"
Cheng Shuiyao thought for a moment and slowly walked over.
The shop owner happened to open a large pot, and the mist immediately floated up, mixed with a hint of fragrance.
It's just that the flavor is a bit bland and not fragrant enough.
Cheng Shuiyao smiled slightly and was about to give the shopkeeper a suggestion when she suddenly heard a roar.
"Shady businessman, look what you are doing!"
A tall man suddenly overturned the table, and the dishes on the table hit the ground with a loud clatter.
"I eat freshly cooked noodles, so what's the problem?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the broken dishes and chopsticks with distress, and looked at the big man hesitantly.
"Then look what this is!" The big man raised the remaining bowl of noodles in his hand and picked out an insect as big as a fingernail.
Upon seeing this thing, there was a sound of retching in the shop, and many diners slapped the table and stood up.
"Shadow businessman!"
"What if I get sick if I eat this dirty stuff?"
"Why is this old shop that has been open for ten years? Close it as soon as possible!"
Everyone got excited, pointed at the boss's nose and cursed, and some even dropped the bowls in their hands.
Suddenly there was another crackling sound, which made the shopkeeper almost cry.
"Money back!"
"Money back!"
"Money back!"
Soon everyone started shouting for refunds, and the voices became louder and louder, and they seemed to have the momentum of destroying the store if they didn't refund the money.
Cheng Shuiyao stood outside the shop and looked at the people shouting the loudest with interest.
If I read it correctly, these people were walking together just now, and now they are sitting here separately and meddling in this matter, presumably just to blackmail the store owner.
"My store has been open for ten years. If there were any problems, I wouldn't be able to continue working!"
The shop owner had never seen such a situation before. He was twisting his clothes and didn't know how to appease everyone.
"Extorting money should be more subtle. I've never seen someone as full of loopholes as you."
A loud voice suddenly sounded, and then Cheng Shuiyao slowly walked into the shop and glanced directly at the people who were leading the trouble.
"This girl, you don't know the beginning and the end, what are you getting in here?"
When the big man saw a delicate little girl coming in, he immediately spoke with disdain.
"I was just outside the shop, but I saw what happened clearly. Brother, do you know what the bugs you picked out are?"
Cheng Shuiyao didn't panic at all, and there was a bit of certainty in her tone.
"How do I know what it is? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here."
The eldest brother spoke impatiently, thinking that this was just a little girl who came out to show off when there was injustice in the road, and didn't take it seriously.
"This is called a woodlouse, and it lives exclusively in extremely humid places. Although there is steam here, the overall environment does not meet the requirements for the growth of woodlice, so this bug cannot be from here."
Cheng Shuiyao took his time and spoke calmly, with unquestionable affirmation in his tone.
She had encountered this kind of thing before when she was making a food tour video. At that time, someone insisted on criticizing the store, but in the end, a passerby jumped out and refuted the troublemaker.
So she understood this kind of thing clearly and could see the loopholes of this big man at a glance.
"Then how do I know? The bug was found in the bowl anyway!"
The big man was visibly panicked and started to mess around.
He found this insect randomly from a well. He didn't know what it was called.
Seeing the big man's reaction, Cheng Shuiyao knew that her guess was correct and spoke with more certainty.
"Even if I search the whole house, I can't find any bugs that are exactly the same as this bug. If you insist, you can search for it yourself. If there isn't one..."
Cheng Shuiyao deliberately slowed down his speech, "Then we have to report it to the official and treat it as a trouble."
"this……"
The few big men suddenly felt guilty, looked at each other, and wanted to mess around again.
"Don't let these people lead you away. I saw them on the street just now. They are in a group."
Cheng Shuiyao didn't give them a chance to quibble at all, and directly reached out and nodded a few people, looking extremely sure.
"By the way, isn't this Zhang San?"
The onlookers suddenly exclaimed and pointed at one of the big men.
Zhang San is a well-known gangster in this street. He is either freeloading or destroying shops. He is notorious in this street.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly realized it and cursed several people angrily.
When Zhang San and others saw something bad, they quickly ran away. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Cheng Shuiyao, who was smiling.
"You haven't paid me yet."
"My lord, I fell into the hands of such a little bitch today, please wait for me!"
Zhang San threw a few coins out dejectedly, then pretended to say something harsh, turned around and left with the rest of the people.
Seeing this, the other diners sat back one after another and continued to eat the noodles in their hands.
Cheng Shuiyao went over to help clean up the debris, wiped the table again for the boss, then threw away the rag and stood aside.
"Thank you so much for the girl who came to the rescue today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to continue this business."
The shop owner thanked Cheng Shuiyao repeatedly and knelt down.
The entire family would eat at this noodle shop. Without this shop, their family would starve to death.
"Don't get excited, get up first."
Cheng Shuiyao was startled by this, and quickly pulled him up, helped him stand up, and then spoke with a smile.
"I just came here. Actually, I mainly want to give you a suggestion to the shopkeeper. Although your noodles taste good now, they are not the best."
"Does the girl know how to make noodles?" The shopkeeper frowned in disbelief.
This girl has tender skin and tender flesh, she doesn't look like someone who hangs around the stove.
"I'll make you a bowl to try."
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't believe it, Cheng Shuiyao rolled up her sleeves and picked up a piece of dough.
After kneading the dough vigorously for a few times, Cheng Shuiyao skillfully pulled it into strips of appropriate thickness, and then cut it into appropriate lengths with a knife.
When the white noodles are put into the pot, some water drops instantly splash out.
Cheng Shuiyao's expression remained unchanged as she calmly sprinkled in the seasonings and side dishes, then lowered her head and added a few more firewood.
“What we pursue when making noodles is a high heat and a short time, otherwise the noodles will be too soft and lack strength.”
Looking at the shopkeeper's puzzled eyes, Cheng Shuiyao explained with a smile, then took the time to fish out the noodles.
The white noodles have distinct roots and are embellished with browned onion leaves and green vegetable leaves. The overall look is particularly appetizing.
"Shopkeeper, please take a sip of soup first."
Cheng Shuiyao handed the noodles to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper couldn't wait to take it and take a sip, and suddenly felt warm in his heart.
