ps: Thanks to brother ‘Golden Piggy’ for the reward. Little Golden Piggy, if you dare to break my virginity, I will remember you:)

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I'm too lazy, how can I join the industry?"
Without thinking, Zhou Yi refused this opportunity that many people had broken their heads and dreamed of getting. However, he still politely gave his phone number to Cao Lang: "Mr. Cao must also follow me when he comes to Chudu in the future.
Contact me and let me show my kindness as a landlord."
Before Cao Lang could speak, Zhou Yi said again: "We have finished eating, and we have to go to a movie, so I won't spend more time with you..." After saying that, he called the waiter to pay the bill, and pulled up some people who were still unfinished.
Zhu Xiaohua left the hotel, leaving old man Cao sitting there alone in a daze.
Cao Yidao, a majestic first-class chef and a giant in the food world, finally offered to take on an apprentice, but was rejected outright? Cao Lang's face suddenly turned red and white, and it took him a while to recover.
Come: "What a good boy, why don't you give me face? Well, my old man is still obsessed with you, just wait for me..."
***
After leaving the old place, Zhu Xiaohua stared at Zhou Yi non-stop, as if she was going to have sex with him.
"What are you looking at? There are no flowers on my face. I want to go back and see your 'flowers'..."
Zhou Yi glared at him angrily, knowing that after today's incident, the fat man had something to talk about again, and he might not know how to talk about today's events when he met his brothers in the future.
"I feel strange, Lao San, what kind of medicine are you taking? But after eating two pieces of meat, you can say so many truths? Let a great person in the food industry like Cao Yidao beg for nothing.
Are you going to be your apprentice?"
Zhu Xiaohua clicked her tongue and sighed: "And you still refused? Brother, if the second sister knows about this..."
The second sister he refers to is naturally Zhou Jingjing, the second sister of Zhou Yi who went to France to fool foreigners. She is the only fake chef in the old Zhou family who has inherited the ancestral business.
Zhou Jingjing is really obsessed with cooking, but her talent is really limited. She spent two years in a chef school and finally got a second-level chef certificate. She wanted to worship famous people several times, but they just rejected her after seeing the dishes she cooked.
She didn't even bother to comment. Her craftsmanship really couldn't survive in China, and in the end she had no choice but to go abroad and become a foreigner who didn't understand anything.
If she knew that Zhou Yi actually rejected Cao Yidao, it would be weird if she didn't go crazy on the spot. She would definitely buy a plane ticket and fly back immediately, forcing Zhou Yi to kowtow to become his disciple, and at the same time, she would also get some glory or something.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you dare to tell my second sister about this, over at Huahua... Well, if I remember correctly, someone said he was going on a business trip last month, but he actually went to South Island.
Some resort hotel...”
Zhu Xiaohua trembled when she heard this: "Third brother, what I said just now was all drunken talk. Well, I'm really drunk. I have to go back and rest. If you want to watch a movie, just go alone. I won't accompany you."
"Drunk? Can you do it alone? Do you want me to take you back?" Zhou Yi laughed.
"No, no, no, they are all warriors who have been tested by alcohol. What does this mean?" Zhu Xiaohua straightened her waist and said that her brother was fine, fine and no problem. Then she stopped a taxi with her hand and left with a squeak.
After Zhu Xiaohua left, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to stop the taxi. He walked a hundred steps after dinner, and he could live ninety-nine. It was not too hot tonight, and the cool breeze was blowing and the moonlight was like water. He thought of taking a walk.
Naturally, he would not go to the movies. For a tired guy like Zhou Yi, it would be more comfortable to make some snacks at home, make some tea, and then connect the projector to watch movies. How uncomfortable is it in a movie theater? There is everything these days. , there are many people smoking, eating melon seeds, breaking their feet, and real people performing the Eighteen Bans, which is very disturbing to watch.
The old restaurant is not far from the community where Zhou Yi lives. Cross the road to the north and make another roundabout, which is the famous flea market. Zhou Yi was strolling around casually and unknowingly arrived at this night shopping paradise. Suddenly, he felt As soon as he moved, he walked in.
"Don't LiuXu and XiaoYeZi set up a stall here? Now that we are here, we might as well go and see what kind of business she is doing..."
Curiosity killed the cat, and Zhou Yi was obviously a curious person.
I don’t know when, just like real fleas, flea markets suddenly appeared in various cities in China. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloomed.
For the government, this is a fig leaf; for laid-off workers and college students practicing stalls, this is the big stage of life; for the bottom consumers, this is Golden Eagle International, where every family is happy... ....
It's all just a thought.
People who come here to buy things are not entirely poor. Many white-collar workers and gold-collar workers occasionally wash off their lead to join in the fun, throw down three melons and two dates and experience the fun of bargaining. They feel like an emperor visiting incognito. Man, this kind of pretentiousness is also very good.
Zhou Yi spends money lavishly on food, but has little pursuit in other aspects, so he often comes here to hang out and enjoy the leisurely shopping process while buying things. But this time, his mood has changed a little, firstly because of his love for catkins Curiosity, and some indescribable feelings of pity for beauty, even if he himself refused to admit it.
The frail back on the electric tricycle, the slender shoulders, and the slightly scattered hair on the back of the jade neck touched the softest place in Zhou Yi's heart at that moment, making him care about him unconsciously. I remembered this girl who was in a difficult situation.
Flea markets all over the country are actually similar. They just sell small commodities, low-end clothing, pirated books, pirated CDs, etc. If there is any difference, it lies in the snacks with different flavors in different places.
After all, most of the people who visit the market are young people, and the majority are girls. These snacks are the most suitable for them. Therefore, in every city’s flea market, a snack street is essential. The business is so booming that even More than those ordinary merchants. In these snack streets, there will definitely be no shortage of imported products, and the local specialty snacks are even more indispensable. There are often the most authentic craftsmen among them.
With the consciousness of a foodie, Zhou Yi naturally entered the snack street next to the business district first, and all kinds of aromas suddenly hit his nostrils: mutton skewers, candied haws, grilled quail, rock sugar lotus seeds, stinky tofu, it can be said that it has all five flavors and is stimulating. human appetite.
Some well-dressed girls and young wives, as well as 2b young and successful people, have all transformed into foodies here. Every stall is crowded with people buying snacks, and business is very good.
There was only one stall with the Zhongyuan Fried Noodles sign, and its business was very bleak, with almost no people around, which was in sharp contrast to the booming business of other stalls.
"Catkins, little leaves?"
Zhou Yi glanced around and saw Liuxu standing behind the stall with a sad face, while Xiao Yezi sat next to her, clenching a pair of small fists and looking at the opposite side with an angry face.
Opposite them, there is also a small stall with a sign of fried noodles. The sign hanging on the stall is still brand new, but it is full of diners, many people are queuing up to buy, and the business is extremely hot. The aroma of fried noodles is bursting.
, emanating from this stall, attracting more people to walk over.
It seems that Liuxu has encountered strong competition from its peers.
Zhou Yi did not rush to greet Liuxu, but first walked to the opposite stall to look at it and smell it.
Fried rice noodles are stir-fried jelly noodles. They are a relatively famous snack in the Central Plains. In the Bianliang area, there are all men, women, old and children who don't like to eat it. Paired with a sesame seed cake and a bowl of tofu, it is an excellent breakfast and late night snack.
Whether the fried noodles are delicious or not depends not only on the frying skills of the producer, but also on the texture of the noodles and the sauce, especially the sauce. It is said that Bianliang's famous fried noodles Zhang has an exclusive recipe passed down from ancestors.
He hid it and refused to show it to anyone, even his wife had to hide it.
When pairing good sauce with mung bean and potato starch, you also need to make sure it is 'charred but not burnt'. A skilled stir-fried noodle chef can fry every piece of noodles until one or even two sides are burnt, just like a pan-fried bun.
When the yellow shell is taken out, it must not be burnt. When you eat it, it is waxy and crispy, and your mouth is full of aroma. This is the top quality.
However, this powder is soft, and it is very difficult to stir-fry it thoroughly, not to mention that one side is burnt and two sides are burnt? Therefore, if the master's skills are slightly inferior, the powder will definitely stick to the pan, even if it can
If you shovel it up quickly, the powder will be broken into pieces. Although it is still edible, the taste and presentation will be ruined.
But the fried noodle chef at this restaurant with the "Three Generations of Fried Noodles" brand is obviously an expert. Needless to say, the sauces he uses are at least Level 6 cooking skills, especially his frying skills, which make people fly up and down.
It’s so dazzling that you don’t even have to eat it, just looking at it is worth the five yuan you spent on the powder.
The noodles he stir-fried were evenly browned on one side, and 80% of the jelly noodles were kept intact. One side was browned, and the sauce coated the noodles evenly and plumply. When it came out of the pan, small bubbles were forced out by the heat.
The appearance is also 90%.
It seems that these three generations of fried noodle brands are not bragging. With this skill, not only in Chudu, but also in Bianjing, the birthplace of fried noodles in the Central Plains, it is also first-rate. Zhou Yi nodded and turned to look at the opposite side.
The catkins stall, sighed secretly, and walked over.
"Boss, please have some rice noodles."
Zhou Yi took out five yuan and handed it over with a smile.
"Okay...ah, Brother Zhou?"
Just as Liu Xu was about to take the money, she looked up and saw Zhou Yi, and was stunned.
"Uncle Zhou, are you here to see my aunt?"
Little Ye Zi also saw Zhou Yi, but this little loli was too direct, making two adults blush with just one mouthful.
