Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't have any luggage in his hands, the boss said, "How many days are you planning to play?"
"For a while." Xiao Fan didn't know how long he would stay.
"Well." The boss didn't seem to care about how long Xiao Fan would stay. He just said: "Although we are in a remote place, there are no rules. Do you think you can pay the deposit first?"
"Oh, ok, ok. How much?" Xiao Fan had forgotten about this.
"Let's give you two hundred for the time being, because you don't know how long you're going to stay, right? Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay." Xiao Fan just took out his mobile phone and was ready to transfer money with one click, but then he thought again and decided to give cash instead.
"Hey." Xiao Fan took out two hundred cash and gave it to the boss.
"Do you mind if I clean up your room first?"
"Don't mind."
"By the way, the first store at the entrance of the village sells breakfast. Our country teahouse, sorry, does not provide breakfast. But if you don't mind, you can have lunch and dinner with my family."
"That would be disturbing."
"It's okay."
The sun is very good today, the sunshine is bright, and the soft light shines on the face, making people feel very comfortable.
The air in the countryside is also particularly good.
As expected, there was a stall in front of the first house at the end of the bridge, with a pot on it and a stove underneath with firewood burning.
There is boiling water in the pot, and next to the pot is a square table with stacks of bowls, chopsticks, and some condiments.
The owner of the stall is a woman, about forty years old.
It's half past eight in the morning. There aren't many people coming to have breakfast, but there are a few people coming every few minutes.
They are all from the same village, and most of them live near the river.
Xiao Fan walked over.
"Sister, bring me a bowl of noodles." Xiao Fan said.
The eldest sister raised her head, looked at Xiao Fan with the eyes of a foreigner, and asked: "Would you like a thin one or a wide one? Do you want rice noodles or soup noodles? But we don't have hot dry noodles here, so let's agree in advance."
Xiao Fan looked at the noodles on the table and finally said: "Then give me a bowl of noodle soup. Thank you!"
"Okay!"
The eldest sister grabbed a piece of noodles and threw it into the boiling pot of water.
The eldest sister first took a porcelain bowl, then used a long iron spoon to scoop a ladle of clear soup into another small pot, and put the clear soup into the bowl.
After a while, he fished out the boiled noodles and placed them in a bowl filled with soup using wooden chopsticks.
Then add a little more seasoning to the bowl, and as the last step, sprinkle chopped green onion on the surface.
Okay, a bowl of fragrant noodles is ready. It only takes a minute or two.
Regardless of the color or the fragrant fragrance, Xiao Fan quickly paid for it and started eating at a table nearby.
To be honest, this bowl of noodles is really better than all the noodles Xiao Fan has eaten in the city. I don’t know what kind of magic the boss lady used, or what secret ingredients are put in the ordinary clear soup.
But it's just delicious.
Xiao Fan finished the bowl of clear noodle soup in a few minutes, and drank all the soup in it.
After finishing, Xiao Fan finally couldn't help but ask the proprietress a question.
"Excuse me, what are you using to make that soup?"
"Is there a problem?" The proprietress looked at Xiao Fan with a confused look. She didn't know the situation and thought that Xiao Fan was here to cause trouble.
Xiao Fan quickly explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. This bowl of noodles is so delicious, so I want to ask you what secret recipe you use? If you don't mind."
The proprietress spread her hands and said with a very ordinary expression: "A little beef bone and a few radishes."
"That's it?" Xiao Fan was very surprised.
"That's it." said the landlady.
"Are you still stalling here tomorrow morning?!" Xiao Fan asked.
"Come out, come out every day."
Maybe the landlady really doesn’t understand this foreigner. Are there no noodles in the city?
Are my ordinary noodles from the countryside really that delicious?
It's really weird.
Maybe everyone here thinks Xiao Fan is a weird person.
"I'll come back tomorrow morning." Xiao Fan said with a smile.
"Well, welcome." The landlady said.
It turns out that there really are such delicious noodles in the world!
Xiao Fan was as happy as if he had found a paradise.
After eating breakfast, just when Xiao Fan didn't know what to do next, Xiao Fan saw the child again, the child who scared him out of his mind under the old tree with crooked neck last night.
He was the little boy who didn't know any manners when he was left alone.
At this moment, the little boy was standing in front of the breakfast stall, taking the next bowl of noodles in his hand.
The little boy didn't realize that someone was staring at him.
However, when the little boy was about to sit at the table and enjoy his breakfast, he turned around and suddenly met Xiao Fan's eyes unexpectedly.
