409 Brothers
These two had never eaten rice noodles and liangpi before, so they didn’t know what they were. Xue Sifu quickly showed them a bowl of liangpi and rice noodles that had been prepared.
“You guys have sour plum juice?” The two of them looked around as if they were looking for the sour plum juice.
“Over here,” Xue Sifu was especially patient. He smiled and opened the lid of the bucket beside him, revealing the sour plum juice inside. He then removed the wooden board covering the basin, revealing the ice inside. “It’s cold!”
“Alright, alright, alright.” The two of them were bent over, and when they saw the ice in the basin up close, they felt the cold air blowing on their hot faces. They were immediately very satisfied and felt that this trip was not in vain. “How much are these?”
“Sour plum juice is five coins a bowl, and red beans with crushed ice are ten coins a bowl. I’m sure you already know that popsicles are three coins a stick,” Xue Sifu said with a smile. “It’s almost noon, and you must be hungry. Would you like to order a bowl of cold rice noodles or liangpi? They’re not expensive, only six coins a bowl.”
“Okay, then give me a bowl of iced sour plum juice and a bowl of liangpi. These two dishes look quite appetizing to me. I might as well have my lunch here.”
“Alright!” Xue Sifu immediately responded, “Please, come in and sit down first. It’s too hot out here.”
The customers came in and sat down at a random table.
The other customer was in a dilemma. They came together and the two knew each other. They spoke to each other as they sat down. “Didn’t you come to eat ice? I’m thinking of drinking sour plum juice, what should I do? If you order all of this, it’ll be too expensive.”
The man who sat down scolded him with a smile. “Are you st*pid? We’ve already come all the way here. It’s not far away anyway. It’s just right to eat these on such a hot day.”
“Yes, yes, yes, just right.” Xue Sifu chimed in.
When the man heard this, he finally stopped being conflicted and smiled. “Then I’ll have a bowl of ice too, I came here to eat this. And a bowl of… What’s that again? I want this.”
“Cold rice noodles.” Xue Sifu quickly replied.
“Yes, that. I’d like a bowl.”
“Alright!” Xue Sifu immediately agreed. He prepared the liangpi and then the rice noodles.
He had already cooked quite a bit of the rice noodles earlier and had left them to cool on the side. As long as someone ordered it, it could be served immediately.
After the man finished speaking, he went to sit down at the same table as his brother who had already sat down. When he sat down, he said to the man excitedly, “I didn’t expect to eat ice on such a hot day.”
Xue Erfu had already served the elder brother a bowl of cold sour plum juice. After taking a sip, his face turned joyful. “It’s good!”
It was obvious that he was drinking to his heart’s content.
The eldest brother was a little afraid of the sour plum juice again, but he held it in and decided to drink it again tomorrow.
Xue Sanfu had already washed his hands. He took out a small basin of ice from the large box and began to break it. After breaking it, he filled a bowl and put it to the side. Jiang Yue stood on her tiptoes and helped scoop some sweet red bean on top.
This spoon was much bigger, and one spoon was just enough to cover the ice.
On the crystal-clear ice, the red-colored sweet red beans were served. Yifu immediately stopped craving for Yifu’s sour plum juice. He picked up his small spoon and began to eat the ice.
It made Yifu want to eat the red bean ice.
Both the cold noodles and rice noodles were prepped in a short time. Soon, Xue Sifu was done mixing them and brought them to the table. He placed the cold noodles in front of one brother and the cold noodles in front of the other brother.
