Chen Xu was originally busy working in the kitchen, but when he heard Yan Qing's words, he couldn't help but realize it.

He had thought that the round-faced man had a bit strange before. When he came to eat noodles for the first time, his style was not like an ordinary customer. He turned out to be a fellow traveler, so it was no wonder.

In fact, the commonly referred to as century-old soup does not mean that a pot of soup is really boiled for a hundred years, and water is added every day and new ingredients are added.

After a while, you have to change a new pot and discard the residue at the bottom. Then add the ingredients and boil a pot. The key is to add some of the previous pot of old soup. In this way, this pot of soup can also retain the flavor of the old soup.

It is said that in the old days, in similar noodle shops, when the apprentice became a teacher, they could take away a pot of old soup. When the shop was opened, they would have a foundation.

Of course, he saw these from online forums, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.

The round-faced man obviously fell in love with his old soup, so he packed dozens of servings in one go, added these soups as introductions to the newly boiled soup to enhance the taste of his soup base. It was an opportunistic method.

"Chen Xu, why are you still standing there?"

Chen Ziqi turned around and saw Chen Xu standing there indifferently, so anxious that she almost jumped up.

"How do you plan to settle the score with him?" Chen Xu asked her, "Go to his store to make trouble? Or find someone to beat him up?"

"This..." Chen Ziqi stopped. It was indeed inappropriate to do this. She still said with anger. "Then expose him online and let everyone know that he is a thief and a liar. He can't open his store."

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "This kind of news has no explosive point and cannot become popular. If it is posted online, it will not have any impact on his store. Moreover, we have no evidence, so maybe he will bite us back and sue us for rumors."

"This is not good, that is not good, can you just let it go?" Chen Ziqi looked at him angrily, "Are you not angry at all?"

"Anyway, it has no impact on us. We can do our own business." Chen Xu said, paused, and continued, "Actually, the soup I made is different from the soup from other families. It is not that the older the better. It will be no new after more than five days."

When Chen Ziqi heard the next sentence, her eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"

"Wait and see if he is unlucky." Chen Xu said.

Once the shelf life passes, the taste of the soup changes, and it will be difficult for their business to continue. Even if they make another pot of new soup temporarily, it will not be as good as the old soup, and will lose many customers. Once the reputation is bad, it will be difficult to make up for it.

Chen Ziqi immediately calculated by her fingers, turned to look at Yan Qing, and said, "In the past few days, you have to go there and observe the situation."

"No problem, I have to pass by there every day when I go to and from work." Yan Qing agreed immediately. Yesterday he disliked the fat man, and he did such a thing, and he wanted the other party to be unlucky.

…………

In the next few days, Chen Xu's life did not change much. He went to morning rush and went to work during the day, but Luo Xiyun still did not show up. After get off work, after cooking for Chen Ziqi, the two of them went to open a shop together. At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the stall closed.

Every day when he runs home, he passes by the alley. Every time he meets the girl in school uniform. She always squats under the telephone pole to feed the cats, sometimes using noodles, and sometimes using dried fish.

He was very curious about this girl, why he didn't go home at 7 or 8 o'clock every night, and would rather feed stray cats here.

However, he never came forward to meet him. Judging from the only contact, she was very cautious about strangers. He still remembered the look she looked at him at that time, cautiously, with a hint of distrust and alertness.

Of course, it was just this little curiosity. He knew that the two of them would probably not have any intersection. Even if they met every day, they would not say hello to each other, and they had never even had eye contact.

Before I knew it, it was already the weekend.

In the evening, Chen Xu and Chen Ziqi had just opened the noodle shop, and Yanqing came with his girlfriend. As soon as he came up, he couldn't wait to shout, "Tell you good news, that fat man is in trouble."

"Let me tell me, what's going on?" Chen Ziqi came forward with a pot of hot tea and poured him a glass of water for the first time.

This thoughtful service made Yan Qing feel very satisfied and said with a smile, "The fat man's store was almost smashed by someone. Many people surrounded the store. You didn't see that scene. It's so satisfying."

"I deserve it." Chen Ziqi felt very relieved when she heard it. She had been counting the days with her fingers and just to see when the fat man was in trouble.

She asked excitedly, "What is the matter like?"

"It was said that there was a customer who had a bad taste when the noodles tasted bad, so he must give him an explanation. The fat man was also arrogant, saying that he was here to make trouble and started arguing on the spot."

"The fat man was kicked to the point. The customer opened a construction company and brought his girlfriend to dinner. He was embarrassed and he was not willing to bear it. He pulled more than a dozen people over on the spot and blocked the door. He insisted on asking for an explanation."

Chen Ziqi asked, "What's next?"

"The fat man was still timid, and he apologized and paid for the money. However, I saw that his troubles were more than that. When I left, I saw that everyone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had gone, and someone should have complained. If you really want to find out what problems and shut down the business for rectification, that would be fun."

Chen Xu listened in the kitchen and felt a little pitiful for the fat man.

After a few days, the soup he made lost its umami flavor, and it would taste a little, and it would not turn bad. But it would be really unlucky to meet a serious customer.

"By the way, I also took a video, you see." Yan Qing took out his cell phone, opened the video, and handed it to Chen Ziqi, "Look, there are many passers-by around him, anyway, the reputation of this store is completely bad."

The three of them were having a lot of chatting. A few minutes later, Chen Xu came over with two bowls of noodles.

Yan Qing said, "Hey, boss, we haven't ordered food yet."

"I'll treat you." Chen Xu smiled. He wanted to express his feelings even if this person was so enthusiastic.

When Yan Qing saw the bowl in front of him, it was full of shrimps and 6000, and the portion was amazing. He said in shock, "Wow, it's so rich."

Chen Ziqi said proudly, "Seafood noodles, deluxe version, which is something that ordinary people cannot eat. You have a good taste."

"Thank you, boss." Yan Qing said to Chen Xu, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Then, we are not polite."

Then, several customers came over. These days, the noodle restaurant has a little reputation. Every day, when repeat customers see the noodles that Yan Qing and the others ate, they ask, "Boss, have you released a new flavor of noodles? Give me a bowl."

"Sorry, that's a special version of friendship and will not be sold to the public."

The other customers shouted, "It's not good, you treat this completely differently."

"Yes, you have to treat business equally."

Chen Ziqi was unhappy and said, "It's not that I won't sell it, it's too expensive. A bowl of fifty, do you want it?"

"It's so expensive, are you robbing money?"

Chen Ziqi gave the man a blank look and said, "This is already the cost price. Do you know how much a pound of shrimp costs?"

Some people couldn't help but complain, "Little sister, with your service attitude, no wonder the noodle restaurant business is so bad."

"Why are you still here if you think I have a bad attitude?"
