Chapter six hundred and sixty third: true or false
It was dawn the next day.
Chen Changsheng went to the street early in the morning. He had agreed yesterday to buy some fish for Lihua to eat, but he did not forget it.
However, there are really few fish sellers in Qingshan City, probably because there are few lakes and rivers here. After searching for a long time, I found a vendor setting up a stall and bought two small herrings.
"I'll charge you ten cents for two fish, take it."
Chen Changsheng took the fish from the vendor's hand and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly I feel like eating noodles.
The three specialties of Qingshan Castle are Baixiang Noodles.
At that time, Dr. Wang of the medicine shop really added glory to Qingshan City. I heard people say that now, Baixiang Noodles have spread beyond Yuanchuan and even entered the imperial kitchen.
The shopkeeper of the noodle shop, Dr. Wang's son, is now older and much older, and his wife is no longer young, so he helps out on the side.
But this time his wife was nowhere to be seen.
"A bowl of noodles, less spicy." Chen Changsheng said.
"Sit over there, guest officer. I'll meet you shortly."
"Um."
Chen Changsheng hung the fish aside, waited for a while, and then came up.
The person serving him was shopkeeper Wang's son, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old and looked very tough.
"Your Majesty, please take your time."
Chen Changsheng took out his chopsticks, stamped them on the table, and then ate the noodles.
He felt strange that the noodle shop seemed a little deserted.
There are not as many people as before. I think back then, the whole shop was full of people, and there were people squatting outside eating noodles.
Chen Changsheng stopped him and asked: "There are fewer people eating noodles now?"
Wang Xingsheng paused and then replied: "It is less than before."
"Why is this?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Wang Xingsheng was shocked and said: "We are not the only one who sells the passion noodles. Others have figured it out and made it taste better, so the business has been reduced."
"Is this so..."
Come to think of it, this noodle is sold for personal consumption. Some people who are proficient in medical skills can guess what is added to it after taking a few bites. Gradually it becomes no secret.
When Wang Xingsheng saw that this man was unfamiliar, he was not busy for a while, so he sat down on the side and asked: "When did the guest come to our noodle shop? I don't think I have seen him before."
Chen Changsheng said: "It was very early. At that time, your father and your mother were still busy in the noodle shop."
"My mother..." Wang Xingsheng paused for a moment, glanced at this person and then said: "The guest has eaten noodles in our shop when he was a few years old."
Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "Where do we start talking about this?"
Wang Xingsheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's nothing."
"Where did you go, bastard? Come and make some noodles!"
"Coming!"
Wang Xingsheng said quickly: "My father called me, sir, please eat. If the noodles are not enough, you can add more."
Chen Changsheng nodded and motioned for him to go first.
After Wang Xingsheng finished his work, Chen Changsheng started counting with his fingers.
Then his brows widened and he roughly understood the situation.
'fine……'
No wonder Shopkeeper Wang's son said that.
It turned out that ten years ago, shopkeeper Wang's wife accidentally encountered a runaway carriage while walking on the street. She was unable to dodge, and her legs were trampled by the horse. Although her life was saved, she also suffered a loss.
He is disabled and cannot stand. He has been recuperating at home for more than ten years and has not helped in the shop.
When Chen Changsheng saw that people were still busy inside, he didn't think much more and lowered his head to eat the noodles.
The taste of the noodles is much better than before.
The spices are just right too.
The food was very satisfying.
Chen Changsheng thought about whether to bring a bowl back to Cihua, but then he thought about the fish, and it probably wouldn't be able to finish them all, so he forgot about it.
But Ruyi will probably want to eat it.
Judging from the way she ate yesterday, I guess she didn't eat well on weekdays.
Chen Changsheng felt more and more like an old father. This was strange, but he could understand it.
After all, he could be regarded as watching Ruyi grow up, even though it was many years apart.
After Chen Changsheng finished eating the noodles, he called for the waiter, who was Wang Xingsheng.
"Do you want extra noodles?" Wang Xingsheng asked.
Chen Changsheng said: "I wonder if Mr. Chen can take a copy back?"
Wang Xingsheng said: "Of course it's possible, but if you come next time, please remember to take the bowl back as well, and you have to deposit a bowl amount. It's a small business, so please forgive me."
"That's okay."
Chen Changsheng paid for two bowls of noodles, deposited another bowl of noodles, and then asked, "Are your mother's legs and feet feeling better now?"
Wang Xingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's better than before."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen had some friendship with your grandfather in his early years, and he happens to know some medical skills. If you have free time, you can take your mother to Chen's residence to have a look. It is in Chuanfeng Alley, and your father should know about it."
Wang Xingsheng was stunned again, and just as he was about to stop him, he saw that the man had already walked out of the noodle shop with his noodles in hand.
He blinked, a little confused, and then quickly found his father.
"Dad, dad!"
Shopkeeper Wang glanced at him and said, "Why are you so frizzy?"
"I just had a guest..."
Wang Xingsheng informed his father about what happened just now.
Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Your grandfather's old friend..."
Shopkeeper Wang started to think about it, "Let me think about it, I can't remember it for a while."
Wang Xingsheng blinked and said: "Dad, didn't you say that my grandfather left early? I just saw that the man was very young, not even two years older than me. How could he recognize my grandfather?"
Shopkeeper Wang suddenly paused and said, "Wait a minute, did you just tell me where he lives?"
"He said it was Chuanfeng Lane, and he also said, Dad, you know where he lives."
"oops!"
Shopkeeper Wang slapped the table and said, "Maybe he is really your grandpa's friend or our family's benefactor."
Wang Xingsheng was stunned and said: "Benefactor?"
Shopkeeper Wang said: "Hurry up and finish your work. We have to close the door early today. He is an old friend of yours and we should also visit him."
"Ang, good..."
Wang Xingsheng was a little curious, but mostly still puzzled.
He just felt that the man just now was too young and didn't look like he could get to know Grandpa.
.

Chen Changsheng returned to the courtyard with his face in hand.
Before entering the yard, I saw Ruyi commanding two craftsmen to install the door.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Didn't you talk about repairing the door bolt? Why did you also replace the door?"
Ruyi said: "This door is too old and should be replaced."
Chen Changsheng took a look at the replaced door on the ground. The signs of decay on it were already obvious. It would indeed be better if replaced.
Chen Changsheng came to his senses and handed the face to her.
"The noodles I brought back along the way."
Ruyi took it and said immediately: "My hard work is not in vain."
"Nothing big or small." Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly.
Ruyi smiled, then looked at the fish in Chen Changsheng's hand and asked, "Are you going to eat fish today?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Give Cihua something to eat."
Ruyi looked at the civet cat lying on the table beside him, and couldn't help but yelled, "Uncle Chen, you treat this cat so well, no wonder it can eat so much fat."
The sleepy Cihua opened her eyes and looked at Ruyi.
