Hearing Cheng Yanqiu's skillful ordering process, the landlady who was clearing the table turned her head and stared at Cheng Yanqiu seriously. However, Cheng Yanqiu's scarf covered most of her face, and the landlady couldn't see anything.
.
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Although they had ordered this way before, Cheng Yanqiu knew something was wrong when he saw the look on the landlady's face.
The landlady smiled and said, "You must be old customers. You haven't been here for a long time, right?"
Cheng Yanqiu nodded in surprise, "Well, that's right. How did you know, eldest sister?"
The landlady pointed at the sign on the wall and said with a smile, "Our family won't sell pies for two or three years. If you order pies as soon as you come here, it means you haven't been here for at least two or three years."
Cheng Yanqiu asked strangely, "Why don't we sell pies? Pies are so easy to sell."
"It's too troublesome. There are only two people in our store, me and the old man, and we are simply too busy. If we still buy pies, we won't be able to make the duck blood vermicelli, so we simply removed the pies." explained.
, the landlady said with a smile, "Actually, I have an impression of all the regular customers in the store. They look familiar to you, but you can't recognize them."
The main reason was that Cheng Yanqiu covered half of his face with a scarf and it was hard to recognize, but the boss was too embarrassed to ask Cheng Yanqiu to take off the scarf so that she could have a better look.
Yu Dong nodded, looked at the menu again, and then changed the pie into shortbread: "Then give us three shortbread."
"We have the shortbread. Sit down and they'll be here in a minute." The landlady responded, and then went to the kitchen.
After the couple sat down, Cheng Yanqiu still felt a little regretful, "His pies are so delicious, it's a pity not to make them now. I remember that at that time, most people who came to eat duck blood vermicelli would order a pie."
Yu Dong also nodded. Pie is not the standard for duck blood vermicelli shop, but it is definitely the standard for this place. It used to be very popular with diners. Most of the diners who come here will order a pie except duck blood vermicelli.
cake.
The reason given by the proprietress for no longer making pies in the store is that the craftsmanship of the pies is too cumbersome, and there are only two people in the store, she and the boss, and they simply cannot make it.
When normal people hear this reason, their first reaction is why not hire someone else? Don’t you want to make money if you have money? The price of the pie is not cheap, and there is definitely a profit.
If you follow what the landlady said, their problem can be easily solved. As long as they hire one or two people, they can ensure the supply of pies.
But in this world, there are people who are busy and struggling for life every day, who are always in a state of hunger and thirst. Naturally, there are also people who are happy to accept their fate and do not seek to make too much money. The boss ladies and others may be the latter.
.
If Jimmy were here today and heard what the landlady said, he would definitely be heartbroken and denounce their wasteful behavior, and then persuade them to increase manpower or optimize their craftsmanship. It would be best to open a separate pie shop next to the duck blood vermicelli shop.
The single product of pie is getting bigger and stronger.
It is very easy to make this single product well, because the market has proven that everyone is willing to buy it, and all that is left is to increase productivity.
After a while, the landlady came over to serve the meal. She looked at Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu again, and said with a smile, "They look familiar."
The two of them smiled and said nothing.
The two of them didn't talk to each other. Boss Nian walked to the kitchen again, but when he walked to the door of the kitchen, he couldn't help but look back. After all, Yu Dong and the others couldn't keep wearing scarves around their faces, because they had to eat.
When they eat, the landlady can see their faces.
She turned around and saw Cheng Yanqiu taking off the scarf.
"Hey, you are..."
The landlady's shout startled Cheng Yanqiu, and he quickly put the scarf back on.
However, the proprietress did not call her by name, but came over and said with a smile, "You little girl, it's been a long time since I came here. I remember a long time ago, you came here to eat every day, most of the time alone, sometimes...
…”
The landlady wanted to say that Cheng Yanqiu was sometimes with a man, but when she saw Yu Dong next to her, she quickly shut up because she was not sure whether Yu Dong was still the man who came to have dinner with Cheng Yanqiu.
It would have been okay if Cheng Yanqiu and the man in front of her were together back then, but if they weren't together, she might have caused trouble if she said so.
However, after hearing what the landlady said, Yu Dong was quite curious and asked Cheng Yanqiu, "You used to come here to eat alone."
"This little girl comes here at least three or four days a week. It's no exaggeration." The landlady looked very happy, "It must have been quite a few years. The little girl is good-looking and she comes every day. I will remember it. What happened to you later?
Not coming?"
"We have moved. We are far away and it is inconvenient to come here." Cheng Yanqiu explained with a smile.
The landlady nodded, "That's no wonder. Many of my regular customers have moved away and can't come here often, but there are also quite a few who run here from time to time. There is another customer this afternoon who has moved far away.
I came from Luzhou and have moved to Luzhou for four or five years. I have been thinking about our store. This time I came to Jinling for something, so I specially came to our store to have a bite."
When talking about this, the proprietress seemed very proud. For a shop owner, having such diners is naturally the highest praise for their shop.
Just as he was talking, another pair of customers came in. The landlady could only say to Cheng Yanqiu and the others, "You guys eat while I greet the guests."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and nodded, "Well, sister, you are busy."
After the boss lady left, Yu Dong said with a smile, "I didn't know that you often came here to eat alone before. I thought you would only come here when you were with me."
Cheng Yanqiu felt a little embarrassed, "I don't come here every day. It's not as exaggerated as the landlady said. I only come one or two days a week. I didn't expect that the landlady has such a good memory and can still remember me. She calls me little girl. It feels like
It’s quite strange, no one has called me that for a long time, but when I heard her calling me just now, I thought she recognized me.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Dong knew that the "recognition" in Cheng Yanqiu's mouth was different from the recognition at this time. The proprietress only knew that Cheng Yanqiu was the diner who often came to eat duck blood vermicelli.
She didn’t know that she was the famous musician Cheng Yanqiu, let alone Cheng Yanqiu, Yu Dong’s wife, or she didn’t know who Yu Dong was at all.
In fact, it is normal. Even in Jinling, not everyone knows Yu Dong, and it is impossible for everyone to know Cheng Yanqiu, especially the owner of this store. People of their age are doing business and rarely do anything.
Will pay attention to news related to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong looked at the duck blood vermicelli on the table, smiled and said, "Eat quickly, it's getting cold."
Cheng Yanqiu nodded, took off the scarf again, and took a sip of soup first, feeling warm all over his body.
The reason why the two of them chose to walk here just now was for this reason. Winter is the best time to eat something hot and soupy like duck blood vermicelli.
It's best to go outside for a while to enjoy the cold wind, and then come in and have a sip of hot soup to take away all the coldness from your body.
"It still smells the same."
Yu Dong nodded and took a sip. It was indeed the same taste as he remembered.
He recalled the taste of this duck blood vermicelli shop twice, once after he came back from rebirth, and again today, both times after a long absence.
This duck blood vermicelli is not only delicious, but also affordable. However, for an adult man like Dong, this amount is nothing, and he will show off a bowl of duck blood vermicelli in just a short while with shortbread.
As soon as he finished showing off a bowl of duck blood vermicelli, the proprietress came over and brought a plate of dried dumplings.
Bringing the dried dumplings to Yu Dong and others, the landlady said with a smile, "If you want to eat pie, there is no more. We make our own meat-filled dumplings for you to try."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "How embarrassing..."
The landlady waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm happy to see the little girl. A plate of dumplings is nothing. You can eat them and tell me if you need anything."
After the proprietress left, Yu Dong picked up the chopsticks again and said to Cheng Yanqiu, "It's hard to refuse the kindness of the elder sister, so I'll accept it with a shameless face. These dumplings still look good."
At this moment, two little girls at the table next to them were staring at a family of three.
Just now, when the landlady came over to deliver dumplings, she caught the attention of the two little girls. The boss brought out all the dumplings he had eaten to serve, which showed that this table of guests was special. The two little girls also wanted to see who the guests at this table were.
Nothing special.
After seeing it, they first thought that Cheng Yanqiu looked very familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before. Then when they saw Yu Dong, they were both stunned.
Could this person be Yu Dong?
Probably not?
They denied it in their hearts at first, because the possibility of Yu Dong appearing in such a street shop was too small, but the person in front of them looked too much like Yu Dong.
And after seeing Yu Dong, when they went to see Cheng Yanqiu, they also remembered that this beautiful woman was just like Yu Dong's wife, the famous musician.
It's possible that the same portrait is a coincidence. If both husband and wife look alike, then the possibility is too small.
One of the girls was braver and couldn't help but move closer and asked, "Hello, are they Teacher Yu Dong and Teacher Cheng?"
Cheng Yanqiu was startled and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Yu Dong had already admitted it generously, "Yes, it's us, hello."
Hearing Yu Dong's admission, the two little girls jumped up and down excitedly.
"It's really you. I couldn't believe it when I saw it just now. I went to the park to watch the annual meeting yesterday and saw you on the red carpet. I didn't expect to see you in person this year."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you, Teacher Yu, to also eat."
Yu Dong joked, "We not only eat by ourselves, but also dress and drink by ourselves."
"No, no, I mean, I didn't expect you would come out to eat."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I rarely go out to eat. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I'm out for a walk. Do you often come here to eat?"
"Yes, yes, we come here often."
“The duck blood vermicelli here tastes very good.”
"Yes, this is an old restaurant. It's the best one around. We usually go to his place to eat."
…
The movement at the two tables here quickly attracted the attention of customers at other tables.
At this time, there were a total of five tables of customers in the store. Among the other three tables, two of them all knew Yu Dong. Seeing Yu Dong in the store, they couldn't help but chat. Although the other table didn't know Yu Dong and the others, they learned that they were
Celebrities, too, quickly joined the chat.
"Teacher Yu, do you often come to this restaurant to eat?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I used to come here often. After receiving the certificate, Mr. Cheng and I had duck blood vermicelli as the first meal at this restaurant."
Cheng Yanqiu quickly kicked Yu Dong and felt embarrassed.
However, the power of this kick was too weak, and Yu Dong had no reaction. He hugged Yu Yi, who kept climbing on his shoulders, and continued, "It has been many years, and there have been a lot of changes around here. We came here before
At that time, there were many small shops around here.”
"Teacher Yu, when will your "District 9" be available in bookstores? We have been looking forward to it."
Yu Dong laughed, "It's almost, it's almost."
"Teacher Cheng, do you have any new songs this year? Last year's song "Summer Wind" was so nice. It's my favorite song among "Flowers and Grass Lovers"."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and replied, "It depends on the situation. I have no plans to release a new song for the time being."
"Teacher Cheng, you sing so beautifully, it would be a pity not to sing more songs."
"I'm also working hard to make songs, but this kind of thing still depends on fate."
"Haha, if you don't have time to write songs yourself, ask Jay Lun to write a few more songs for you, and you can just sing them. He writes so many songs every year, so it doesn't matter if he gives a few to his teacher, right?"
"The main thing I want to do is choose something that suits me."
…
Although he was recognized, there were only a few tables of customers in the small shop. There were few new customers at this time. The guests present were very restrained and the atmosphere was quite good.
Cheng Yanqiu was a little worried about everyone seeing Yu Yi at first, but after chatting for a while, she was not so nervous anymore.
There was a lively conversation in the store. After the proprietress heard it in the kitchen, she ran out and asked strangely, "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
The two little girls who had just recognized Yu Dong said with a smile, "Auntie, you don't even know Teacher Yu and Teacher Cheng."
The landlady looked confused, "Teacher Yu, Teacher Cheng?"
"The light of our Jinling lies in the east."
After hearing the words "Light of Jinling", Yu Dong quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, no, this is too big a title, I can't bear it."
Several passers-by shouted: "You can bear it, you can bear it. Let alone the light of Jinling, you can bear the light of China. You can bear it, Teacher."
The proprietress was still confused. She had actually vaguely heard of the name "Yu Dong", but she didn't react when the diners mentioned it.
The boss who had never shown up suddenly ran out and asked, "Who is Yu Dong?"
