Chapter 22: Patriarchal 22

In the past two years, the Han’s noodle restaurant on the street of the vegetable market in Shuangji Town has become a frequent place for people in the town to treat guests to dinner. Noodles for ten yuan is a very face-saving thing. Treating guests to dinner at Han's noodle restaurant has become a topic of talk for people to show off and show off.

Xiao Wang from the police station was introduced by his family, talked about a partner, and got engaged. The target was a little girl in the county, surnamed Zhao, who was off on weekends. He thought that even if he didn't invite her to a big restaurant in the town, he would prepare a table of dishes for her at home, but he didn't expect to take her to a noodle restaurant.

Although the decoration and cleanliness of the noodle shop are very good, it can't hide the fact that it is only a noodle shop. At that time, Xiao Zhao was a little bit uncomfortable. She drove all the way from the county to meet him, and the other party was stingy and only invited her to eat noodles. The good upbringing made her not show it, but she felt sore in her heart, wondering if the other party didn't like her.

Xiao Wang was sitting at the dining table, staring at Han Ze cooking noodles, not paying attention to his fiancee's reaction. In his heart, Han Chef's noodles are the best food in the town, no, it is the best food in the world, it is impossible that no one likes it .

The performance of the subject made Xiao Zhao even more disappointed, sitting at the dining table in silence, his eyes could not help but glance at the other customers, seeing that they were all buried in the noodles, and those who didn’t know how many days they thought they had been hungry, like Zhu Bajie Eating ginseng fruit made no difference.

Two bowls of noodles were brought to the table, Xiao Wang took the chopsticks and handed them to his fiancee, whispering eagerly, "Let's eat quickly, maybe we can grab the second bowl after we finish."

Xiao Zhao's hand for holding the chopsticks stiffened, and her eyes looked at the noodles in the bowl unnaturally. Does she look like a girl who can eat so much? The object thinks highly of her so much, it's already good enough to finish this bowl of noodles.

After Xiao Wang said that, he couldn't wait to slurp his head down to eat the noodles. His posture was like that the bowl of noodles in front of him was made of dragon liver and phoenix marrow. The young man who restrained himself in front of his fiancée before the meal was thrown away by him at this moment. At the back of his head, he put all his thoughts on the bowl in front of him.

Xiao Zhao twitched the corners of her mouth, her body became even stiffer, and she looked angrily at the noodles in front of her. She really wanted to taste how delicious this bowl of noodles was, but it made her partner so crazy. She lowered her head and slowly picked out a piece of noodles , slowly put it into her mouth, and in an instant, she narrowed her eyes, Mom, this noodle is really made of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it is delicious...

The little girl squinted her eyes, looking like she was enjoying herself, and the movements of her hands involuntarily sped up. Those who didn't know the expression and the movements thought she was smoking opium.

After Xiao Wang finished eating the noodles in the bowl, he looked up and found that his fiancée had finished eating the noodles in the bowl, and was holding the bowl with her head buried in the bowl to drink the noodle soup.

Xiao Wang: "..."

Xiao Wang's fiancée has always given Xiao Wang a gentle, dignified and beautiful impression. Why does this bold gesture make him feel very cute?

Xiao Zhao put down his chopsticks, saw his fiancé's straight eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Xiao Wang smiled and suggested, "Do you want another bowl?"

Xiao Zhao swallowed, and kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes."

Xiao Wang turned to look at Han Ze, and said loudly, "Chef Han, two more bowls of noodles."

Han Ze glanced at him and said apologetically, "The noodles are sold out."

A sense of loss instantly hit the hearts of the two of them. Xiao Zhao looked at his fiancé hesitantly, and asked expectantly, "Why don't we have dinner again tonight?"

Xiao Wang shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Do you know why I told you to eat quickly just now? That's because the Korean chef sells a fixed number of noodles for each meal. There are only sixty bowls, and they will be gone when sold out, and the Korean chef The noodles at home are only sold for two meals in the morning and noon. You can’t eat them at night.”

Xiao Zhao's expectant face suddenly dimmed. After thinking about it, she couldn't be reconciled. She took a deep breath and said, "I won't go back tonight."

"Ah?" Xiao Wang was taken aback. Although they were engaged, they were not yet married, so he didn't dare to do anything else.

Xiao Zhao glanced at him and said, "Leave after eating noodles tomorrow morning."

Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Ze heard the conversation between the two and said, "You may not be able to eat the noodles I made when you come here tomorrow morning."

"why?"

The two asked in unison, and Xiao Wang was full of anxiety. Could it be that Chef Han's family has some difficulties and is not in the mood to sell noodles?

Han Ze explained: "I opened a noodle restaurant in the county seat, and the noodle restaurant over there will open tomorrow, so I should go and stay there for a while."

Xiao Wang yelled, but Xiao Zhao became happy, and hurriedly asked, "Where is your noodle restaurant, Chef Han? My home is in the county seat. I can go to your noodle restaurant to eat noodles then."

Xiao Zhao originally wanted to talk about introducing customers to Chef Han, but suddenly thought that the noodles at Chef Han’s house could be sold even without her introducing customers. Isn't there one more person who competes with her for noodles? Forget it.

Han Ze said: "No. 18, Chunhui Road, behind No. 1 High School in the county seat."

Xiao Zhao smiled and cheered and clapped his hands: "It's very close to where I work, it's great, I can eat noodles made by Korean chef every day."

Xiao Wang regained his senses from the thought of "I haven't been able to eat noodles made by Korean chefs for a while", and when he heard what his fiancee said, his face was weird. Why is the smile on his fiancee's face so glaring? Noodles are more important than in the end, he found that noodles are more important...

Xiao Wang felt a little bit guilty about his fiancée, the guilt flashed in his heart, and then disappeared without a trace, because he thought that he had eaten noodles in Han's noodle shop for more than two years, and met his fiancée The period of time is only two short months. Comparing two months and two years, two years must be longer. Although he also has affection for his fiancée, he obviously has a deeper affection for the noodles of Han's noodle restaurant. Deep into the bone marrow, can not let go.

Thinking of this, he said bitterly: "Chef Han, don't stay at the noodle restaurant in the county all the time, and don't forget the diners in the town who have always supported you."

Xiao Zhao was a little dissatisfied, and glared at his fiancé and said, "The noodle restaurant in the county seat has just opened, and Chef Han must be there to cook there for a while, otherwise customers will have opinions."

Xiao Wang glanced at her, and said in a firm tone: "Chef Han has opened a noodle restaurant in the town for more than two years, and has developed feelings for the diners in our town. He must be reluctant to leave us."

Xiao Zhao turned his head and ignored him.

Han Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I have made a plan. When we meet in Shuangji Town, I will come to cook when there is a market in the town. If there is no market, I will go to the county noodle restaurant Chef. Even if I'm not there that day, my two apprentices will still be open, so don't worry about not being able to eat noodles."

"Chef Han, we just want to eat the noodles you made."

Xiao Wang has eaten noodles made by two apprentices of the Korean chef. Although the taste is good, it is better than the noodles made by other restaurants in the town, but compared with the noodles made by the Korean chef, it can be said to be very different. The noodles here are immortal delicacies, and although the noodles made out of one are delicious, they can only be regarded as mediocre. Can the delicacies eaten by immortals be the same as those eaten by mortals?

Han Ze rubbed the back of his head and said in a naive tone: "The noodles made by the apprentices are cheap, and they only charge two yuan and five for a bowl, which is cheap."

Xiao Wang wailed, "Cheap noodles are everywhere, we just want to eat your noodles."

Han Ze was stunned, and said embarrassedly: "The day before yesterday I heard a young man complain that he ate the noodles I made every day and spent all the money in his pocket. Later, he went shopping with the person he was talking about. He should pay for the clothes he bought. The money is gone, and he can't take out the money anymore, so the girl blew it with the young man in a fit of anger."

Xiao Wang's expression was embarrassing. His monthly salary was spent on noodles and dumplings. His mother was in business in the county, and her family was rich. She knew that he used the money for food and didn't spend it indiscriminately. She often subsidized him, otherwise , He also has no money left in his pocket, and he will also face the dilemma of going shopping with his partner and not being able to pay.

Han Ze looked ashamed, and his tone was sincere: "It's not an option to go on like this, I can't let you eat the noodles I made, and I can't talk to people well, so after thinking about it, I decided to open a noodle restaurant in the county to spread the customer base, and you can do it too." Save some money and keep it for him.”

Xiao Wang was stunned, and he said why the Korean chef thought of going to the county to open a noodle restaurant for no reason. Some diners complained in front of him that eating Korean chef’s noodles cost them all the money in their pockets. He was angry in his heart, but his face did not move. Sensually inquiring: "Chef Han, who is the young man you mentioned just now?"

Let him know who it is, and he can’t be spared. If you don’t have money, you can’t eat garlic. If you don’t have money, you don’t want to eat noodles from Korean chefs. What are you complaining about? If there is one less diner, there will be one less person to grab noodles with them , the diners wish that someone would not come to eat noodles every day because they have no money.

Han Ze glanced at him and said, "Don't inquire about this matter, you should be embarrassed if someone knows about it."

After a pause, he continued: "I set up a stall to sell noodles, and you start to eat my noodles. We have been dealing with each other for more than two years. I think we should not be a chef and a diner, but a brother or a diner." Do you agree with the relationship between friends?"

Chef Han regarded him as a brother, and Xiao Wang was very happy, and he definitely agreed with his words. In the past two years, he had more chances to meet Chef Han than to meet his parents. They are not brothers, who is brother.

Han Ze smiled and said: "Since you agree, I'll say something that shouldn't be said. You've already talked about your partner, so you should save some money. Otherwise, when your partner buys things, you won't be able to take out the money. I'm afraid your partner will find you." I settle the bill."

Xiao Wang felt very uncomfortable. The reason why their diners have been willing to support Han's noodle restaurant is not only because the noodles made by Han Chef are delicious, but also because they like Han Chef's personality.

Korean cooking skills are comparable to miracles, but people are honest and honest. They have never changed in the past two years. Even if they are sought after and flattered, they are never proud or complacent. Because the young man complained about eating noodles and spent all his money in his pocket, he worked hard to open a noodle restaurant in the county. I have to say that he was really moved. Han Chef is not a person who consumes customers wantonly for money.

Xiao Zhao suddenly said, "Chef Han, I won't settle accounts with you."

Han Ze looked at the two and said with a smile: "If you don't settle accounts with me, I don't dare to continue the business like this. You are not married, so you don't know the difficulties of being in charge of the family. When you are married, you will know that we have nothing but food and drink. , There are still many places where money is needed.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhao were stunned. They were not married, and their parents told them every day that they would spend money after getting married, so that they could save some money. How to spend or how to spend. For some reason, they heard Chef Han's words, but they entered their hearts.

Han Ze's eyes lit up sharply, and he said with a smile in his eyes: "So, you guys and girls, start saving money from now on, I don't want to see your future children come to the store and want to eat noodles, but you pay for it." No more money."

Hearing about the future child, the cheeks of the two young people blushed.

...

The next day, the diners saw that the cook was Han Chef's apprentice, and then they knew that Han Chef also opened a noodle restaurant in the county. There was a new diner who didn't know Han Ze. The relationship between the cook and the diners was not stable. It was very unforgiving for Han Ze to go to the county to open a restaurant. Some narrow-minded people even said: "Chef Han sees money and thinks it's not enough to earn so much money in the town, so he goes to the county to earn money from the people in the city."

When Xiao Wang heard this, he felt aggrieved for Chef Han. If Chef Han had an eye for money, he would not only sell 60 bowls of noodles and 60 bowls of dumplings for each meal. Save some money, stay away from your family, and run to the county to open a restaurant. Don't let them say that to such a high-minded Korean chef. He is really not worth it for the Korean chef.

Xiao Wang couldn't help telling them that the reason why the Korean chef went to the county to open a restaurant was because he was afraid that the diners would spend their money in order to eat the noodles and dumplings in the restaurant, so he saved one day of business and let the diners spend less money.

The diners fell silent after hearing Xiao Wang's words. Indeed, they spent a lot of money to come to Han's noodle restaurant to eat noodles. Chef Han was so considerate of them. They understood very well that Chef Han would do this. They were not surprised at all, but they were still moved by it.

However, they would like to say that in fact, spending some money is nothing, they just want to eat noodles every day.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Han Yao was admitted to No. 1 High School in the county, and Han Min was also admitted to the experimental class of Shuangji Middle School with excellent grades. Although Han Jin's grades were still not good, each exam was only on the verge of passing. Fortunately, his grades did not improve. Didn't drop either.

Han Ze finally felt a little relieved, and sighed again, this child has no talent for school, you say she doesn't work hard, she doesn't do anything when she comes back every day, she just does her homework, if she can't finish her homework, she can't go out to play, her studies are twice as good as hers. Both sisters have to work hard, but the rewards they receive are less than half of that of the two sisters.

But this child is more persistent in learning than anyone else. Every time the child holds the test paper and looks at the score that has hardly improved, he will study harder when he comes back. She does the homework assigned by the teacher over and over again. She copied the new words twice, three times, or even more times.

Seeing her like this, Han Ze couldn't help but want to say to her: "Girl, if you don't learn well, we won't study anymore. You won't be able to pass the college entrance examination. At worst, you can go home and learn how to make noodles with your father."

Looking at the child's stubborn little eyes, he couldn't say anything, and silently changed his ways to make food for her and nourish her body, lest she suffer from damage from studying.

God rewards hard work, and with his unremitting study, the child finally scored nearly 80% in Chinese and mathematics in the final exam. Her grades are still not as good as those of her two older sisters, but compared with her previous performance, there has been a staged improvement. This made Han Jin see hope that Emperor Tian pays off, as long as he is willing to work hard, there will always be gains, and he believes that he can be admitted to university with his own efforts.

In the past few years, Hanze has been running both in the town and the county. For convenience, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy his family's first car. Later, when I earned more money, I bought one house after another in the county, and realized my grand wish of preparing a house for every girl early.

The county has a home, and when the children are on vacation, Han Ze asks Wu Hongmei to take the children to the county to play and relax.

There is a small zoo in the county seat. On weekends, Han Ze drove his wife and children in a car to the zoo to see small animals. There were many people in the zoo. Han Ze wanted to retreat, but the children were very excited. He had no choice but to Being able to accompany them, the children are sensible and hardworking in their studies. He only buys them food and clothing, but never takes them out to play. Let them have fun today.

At the entrance of the zoo, there are many small animal toys selling snacks, plush toy bears made of flannel, toy tigers, etc. In recent years, the children's mouths have been tricked by Han Ze, and there is no reaction when they see snacks. When you see those naive fluffy animals, you can't move your feet.

Han Ze could only stand there and wait for them. The fourth girl hugged a puppy, looked at her father expectantly, and said, "Dad, I want this dog, and I can hug it to sleep at night."

Han Ze waved his hand to buy.

Wu Hongmei couldn't help frowning as she watched from the side.

"Daddy, Daddy, I want this tiger, I want this tiger."

The speaker is Wu Yatou, who is more than four years old this year. She is the youngest child in the family and the most blessed child in the family. At the best time, since she was born, Mrs. Han moved away, the family has money, a few sisters dote on her, and her parents are used to it. She can say that she has not suffered a little bit, and the little girl's temper is a bit squeamish.

Han Ze also waved his hand to buy.

Wu Hongmei kept frowning beside her.

In the end, Han Yao, Han Min, and Han Jin also chose their favorite animals, and Han Ze bought them all without saying a word.

Wu Hongmei muttered to the side: "What do you buy these for, it's a waste of money."

Han Ze smiled and said, "The children have never bought these things before. It's rare to take them out to play. Let them have fun."

Wu Hongmei disagreed and said: "I don't know how much it will cost to let them have fun, just spoil them, the children will be spoiled by you sooner or later."

Han Ze said: "Our children are not spoiled, don't you know what kind of character the children have?"

Wu Hongmei stopped talking, she still believed in her own children.

"Mom, I want to buy toys." A boy's voice sounded from the side.

The voice was very familiar. Han Ze turned his head and saw Han Hai and his two children standing beside him.

Han Yang and his wife also saw Han Ze. Han Yang was very surprised. He lived in the county seat. Before the eldest brother moved to the town, they rarely met. On the other hand, he remembered that the last time he saw his eldest brother was the Chinese New Year the year before last, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than a year.

Thinking of this, Han Yang sighed in his heart. After all, he was his own brother. He hadn't seen him for so long. He was still pleasantly surprised to see his elder brother suddenly, and said with a smile, "Brother, why do you have time to come to the county?"

What Han Ze said: "I opened a noodle restaurant in the county."

Han Yang couldn't believe it. For so many years, he already knew that his elder brother had made money by opening a noodle restaurant in the town, but he never thought that he would open the noodle restaurant in the county town. For a while, his heart was extremely complicated. In fact, I don't like it, otherwise I wouldn't lie to my family with my mother-in-law and Mr. Han.

In the past, he felt that with his eldest brother's personality and attitude towards people, no matter how hard he tried, he would have no way to get ahead. Apart from digging and planting crops with his face to the loess and his back to the sky, his eldest brother could do nothing else.

The elder brother whom he looked down upon now has opened noodle restaurants all over the county. If you want to come to your elder brother's noodle restaurant, it is not just as simple as making money, it should be very profitable.

Han Yang put away the complexities on his face, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that among the three of us, the eldest brother is the most promising."

Han Ze habitually touched the back of his head, his face was as simple and honest as ever: "Third brother, you are a high school student. I haven't graduated from junior high school. I don't have much education. I can only earn some hard-earned money through craftsmanship. It's not as comfortable as you working in a factory." , holding an iron rice bowl, I can rest and accompany my children on holidays. I have two noodle restaurants in the town and county running on both sides. If they are not open for a day, they have no money. "

Han Yang: "..."

Is the eldest brother mocking him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scrutinized his elder brother's expression carefully, seeing that his expression was very sincere, without any hint of sarcasm, obviously he meant what he said, and his elder brother really envied his so-called iron job, he smiled wryly, yes, The eldest brother didn't know that he was about to be laid off, so he said that.

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, the elder brother was still the same elder brother, and said with a smile: "Since you like my job so much, why don't we change it?"

Han Ze hurriedly shook his head: "How can I do your job? I have no education, so I can only do some hard work."

Han Yang tugged the corner of his mouth helplessly, he wanted to switch with his elder brother.
