The rainy season is approaching, and the small town is plunged into a haze. The Dexing Building on the edge of the Jinling Old Street community is a nearly 100-year-old shop specializing in duck blood vermicelli soup. Because of Lin Hegen's insistence on the ingredients, utensils, heat and ingredients, the popularity of the shop has increased unabated. Even if the rain is pouring, there will still be old diners coming to drink the soup.
Among the old diners, the most familiar one is Xie Meiting, the inheritor of folk art, who comes to the small shop to drink soup almost every day, often holding a puppy, bringing his own special tableware, and eating elegantly and dignifiedly. As for Lai Donglai, he uses the small shop as his secret base, renting a small area to store the purchased guitars, accordions, cricket pots and other interesting things. Because he was good at singing and dancing when he was young and versatile, he put down his hobbies for the sake of life. Now that he is old, the owner of the hot pot restaurant is improper, and he came to regain his youthful love.
It was still rainy weather, and the soup was opened as usual. Lin Hegen received the notice from the demolition office and understood that it would not take long for this small shop to be razed to the ground. Looking at the notice in his hand, Lin Hegen had mixed feelings. He still went to give soup to Lao Li, the head shaver. The two talked about the demolition, and they had their own thoughts.
Old Li thought that Lin Hegen could not lose his craft, so he suggested that he should find an inheritor. In fact, Lin Hegen also has such plans. He hopes that the taste of duck blood vermicelli soup will last forever, and must not change the taste in just a few years. Therefore, those who can be their own apprentice must pass five levels and cut six. will.
Old Li's grandson Li Yu heard the conversation between the two and immediately called his friend Xia Xiaolu. A few years ago, Xia Xiaolu came to the shop as a buddy. It was mainly because his father liked this soup during his lifetime. He had planned to apprentice a teacher several times. Unfortunately, Lin Hegen didn’t respond to him, and the matter was gone. .
Lin Hegen wanted to rent a new store to continue selling soup, but every time he was optimistic about the store, he hesitated because the price was too expensive. It was not until Xia Xiaolu chose a cheaper store that he finally felt relieved and decided to go personally. Take a look. However, when I rushed to the selected store based on the address, I found that it was just a place similar to a warehouse. The walls were mottled and peeled off, which meant that they had to be renovated in the future.
Just as Lin Hegen was negotiating with the shop owner to reduce the price to 7.5 thousand, he happened to receive a call from Dr. Zhao, so he said that he was ready for surgery. At the same time, Xia Xiaolu became curious about the locked cabinets in the store. Lin Hegen drove back and met Qiu Degao, so he invited him into the store to have a bowl of soup. Since Qiu Degang is a long-time eater on credit, he owes more than one thousand yuan to the shop. Lin Hegen euphemistically asked him to pay the money. Unexpectedly, Qiu Degao couldn't hold back his face when he heard the account, so he could only pull out the money Give two hundred yuan to Lin Hegen first.
Lai Donglai left the unrepaired air conditioner just because he could sell the old-fashioned accordion. His daughter Lai Yanan called to complain to him. Even Lin Hegen thought he shouldn't leave the hot pot restaurant to his daughter. However, Lai Dong came from having an idea. He knew that Lai Yanan often ran around outside, so he simply asked her to manage the hot pot restaurant directly, at least to be relieved.
The square dance aunts in the community can be said to be unhindered. Lai Donglai is also a member of the square dance group. Lai Yanan expressed dissatisfaction with this. Lai Donglai arranged for Lao Zhao to introduce her daughter to the blind date, and even forced her to accept the blind date by running away from home. Lai Yanan was helpless and had no choice but to agree. He did not know that his father's body had problems and he often took medicine behind her back.
Because of the square dance, other neighbors in the community were unbearable, so she invited the knowledgeable Xie Meiting to help. Director Wang of Jinling Hotel came to Lin Hegen to help the kitchen, because Taiwanese guests ordered duck blood vermicelli soup, Lin Hegen brought his own stove to the hotel kitchen, and was busy until midnight until the guests left. Director Wang paid the remuneration to Lin Hegen, but Lin Hegen did not expect Lin Hegen to include the money for the stove, which was an extra one hundred yuan.
That night, Xia Xiaolu and Li Yu were chatting on the rooftop, and the two talked about apprenticeship. Because of his father, Xia Xiaolu is determined to learn the practice of fan soup, and will never give up easily. Lao Li was awake at home, so he asked Lin Hegen to ride a battery tricycle to take him for a ride. While looking at the night scene, he asked Lin Hegen about his apprenticeship. As a result, Lin Hegen's eyes instantly made him understand that Xia Xiaolu was. The best candidate.
