During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a well-known noodle restaurant Renyi Noodle Restaurant in Yangzhou. This noodle restaurant only made ninety-nine bowls of noodles a day, and would not make one more bowl.

The shopkeeper of this noodle shop is shopkeeper Li. The golden silk noodles made by shopkeeper Li are famous far and wide. The noodles cut out are as thin as hair and full of tenacity.

After the noodles were cooked, although the noodles were fine, they were scattered continuously. After adding the soup, the diners praised them again and again.

The noodle shop has been open for decades and is full every day. It closes in the afternoon every day. The rules of the store are to sell ninety-nine bowls and close.

Shopkeeper Li has a son named Li Qiang. He has been learning to make noodles from his father since he was very young. He has been making noodles for more than ten years, and his skills in making noodles have reached the level of perfection.

Although the level of Li Qiang's noodles is almost the same as that of his father, Shopkeeper Li has never allowed Li Qiang to handle the case, only letting him help.

For this reason, Li Qiang has many complaints. He doesn't understand why his father has the rule of only selling ninety-nine bowls. He thinks his father makes less money.

But every time Shopkeeper Li refused to let him take over the noodle shop on the grounds that Li Qiang's noodles were not in place.

On this day, Shopkeeper Li received a message from his father-in-law's hometown that his father-in-law was seriously ill and needed him to go back to take care of him.

Shopkeeper Li had no choice but to tell Li Qiang that he would listen to Uncle Mute for everything in the store during his absence.

Li Qiang muttered in his heart, why should he listen to Uncle Mute? This store belongs to their family, and Li Qiang is very dissatisfied with Uncle Mute's high staff fee in the store.

Uncle Mute's fees accounted for half of the store's profits.

Uncle Mute was only responsible for catching noodles in the pot every day, and he did other things in the store with his father.

That afternoon, shopkeeper Li left, leaving Li Qiang and Uncle Mute in the store.

When the noodles were sold to ninety-nine bowls, Li Qiang still wanted to sell more, but Uncle Mute did not fish for noodles.

Letting noodles cook in the pot all the time, Li Qiang had no choice but to close first and open the store tomorrow.

After Li Qiang closed, he couldn't fall asleep in bed.

The next day, as soon as the store opened, Li Qiang found Uncle Mute, "You didn't get any credit or hard work in the store these years, but our store is small and can't support so many people. I know my old man has paid you a lot of money these years, at least it's not a problem to retire. I'll pay you an extra month's salary..."

The mute's ears were not deaf. He could hear clearly and was stunned for a moment.

"My old man also means this, it's not easy for him to say it clearly." Chen Hou struck while the iron was hot.

Mute nodded and went to pack his things.

Li Qiang called his daughter-in-law to help. He was responsible for cutting and cooking noodles, and his daughter-in-law was responsible for helping.

After Uncle Mute left, the first day of the noodle shop's business, the popularity was bursting, and more than 200 bowls were sold. Li Qiang and his wife counted the money they earned a day after closing, and they were happy.

In my heart, as long as I earn a lot of money, it will be difficult for my father to say anything at that time, even though he drove Uncle Mute away.

The next day, more than 100 bowls were sold. Although there were still the same number of people, most customers shook their heads after eating the noodles, indicating that the noodles had become stale and not the same as before.

Li Qiang just took it as if the soup was not well adjusted and did not rest assured.

On the third day, fewer customers came to the store, dozens of customers.

Li Qiang was puzzled, his craftsmanship was on par with his father, and the soup was also adjusted.

Why are there still fewer customers?

On the fourth day, Shopkeeper Li came back. When he heard that his son had driven Uncle Mute away, he was furious.

"Uncle Mute is my brother and your uncle. If you drive him away, don't open this noodle shop." Shopkeeper Li said angrily

Shopkeeper Li told his son a story. I used to be an orphan like your mute uncle. I lived together for many years and saved my life.

Later, when I met your grandfather, he took me in as his son-in-law and taught me how to make noodles. However, my condition was that I also had to take in your mute uncle.

Your mute uncle's skills are better than mine, especially the noodles. These fine noodles must be picked up in an instant, and this kung fu is amazing.

This fishing noodles is not well grasped, and the noodles are easy to paste, which seriously affects the taste.

If your mute uncle had opened a noodle shop back then, there would be no possibility of our noodle shop existing.

Our rule of only selling 99 bowls a day is to take care of our peers on this street. If there is business, everyone will do it together, otherwise our peers will not be able to do it.

Today is the first day of junior high school, and Uncle Mute will go to the temple to donate incense money again. Your Uncle Mute will each donate his buddy fee to the temple.

Doing business is the same as being a person. The Renyi Noodle Restaurant in our noodle shop is still started by everyone.

Those who come here to eat noodles are regular customers, and this is how the reputation is saved.
