Laozhangla noodles

Lao Zhang finally came back. On February 2nd, when the dragon looked up, Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles opened it. This is the habit of Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles, and it is also the habit of Lao Zhang. Not much more than one day, not much less than one day. It's always on February 2 nd.

Lao Zhang sat leisurely in the security booth in the parking lot, watching every diner who walked into the restaurant. He greeted us when we came over. We are regulars and have been following Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles for six or seven years.

The first time I met Lao Zhang was in a low and shabby bungalow across the street. Together with him, he rented a facade, another one made Anhui noodles, and another one sold flask mutton offal soup.

Lao Zhang pulled out his face with bare arms and was sweating profusely. He doesn't talk much, just pulls a face. Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law is responsible for greeting guests. Lao Zhang is tall and thin, and his daughter-in-law is short and fat. They don't look like family at all

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles is famous for opening in the early hours of the morning. In this area of Joy City, there is no one who doesn't know Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles, and there is no one who hasn't eaten Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles. Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles is famous for chilies, which can kill people. Regular customers will carefully add a spoonful. New diners who don't know will always be tortured by "Chili", thinking that they will make a fortune by digging a spoonful. If you don't have time to eat, your face will turn red when you get hot.

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles is different from Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, and that bowl of noodles only belongs to Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles. The noodles are very thick, with the same name as Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. It is also divided into "capillary", "second fine" and "second column", but the taste is completely different. Sprinkle a spoonful of pepper noodles into the bowl first, which will become the "soul" of Lao Zhang's spicy noodles, then scoop a spoonful of stewed beef, and then put a lot of coriander and beef when the spicy noodles are out of the pot. That's not all. Bean skin, salted eggs and meatballs can be added separately as you like. I'm usually full with a bean skin and eggs.

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles only sells this bowl of noodles, nothing else. There are no cold dishes or anything, not even pickled peanuts. If you want to drink beer, you can only eat this bowl of noodles. Noodles are divided into big bowls and small bowls. At first, a small bowl of noodles in 8 yuan rose to 10 yuan and 15 yuan, and now it has risen to 18 yuan. Nevertheless, I followed Lao Zhang's spicy noodles from the small bungalow in the south of Joy City to the board house in the parking lot now.

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles was originally a fly restaurant: a low house, a dark floor, and chopsticks covers torn all over the floor. In summer, diners prefer to sit outside and eat. There are some small square tables and some small mazars on the roadside. People are eating a bowl of Lamian Noodles around a small square table and sweating like a pig.

Most of the original diners were young people who had no place to eat after the night show. They drove a sports car and Land Rover, saw Lao Zhang's Lamian Noodles, pulled over, and several people sat down around the small square table, each ordering a bowl of hot Lamian Noodles. Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles became the most famous snack shop on Qingnian Road. Open the door at 1 a.m. until1a.m., and then close the door for one day.

Lao Zhang's body was also damaged in the Lamian Noodles that night. After a major operation, Ramian's job as a waiter for noodles was passed on to his son. My son is short, probably because of his mother's genes. He looks chubby, nothing like Lao Zhang. In the next two or three years, Xiao Zhang Lamian Noodles, Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law greeted the guests to collect money, and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law helped. Lao Zhang always sits in a chair in his room and watches TV.

Lao Zhang's family is from Hebei, and the ramen restaurant has become his home in Beijing. There is a small bedroom in the bungalow, where Lao Zhang's family of four lives. Later, Lao Zhang's grandson was born. From holding him in my arms to babbling and running around the house, the children grew up in this small bungalow day by day.

In the summer of 20 16, Qingnian Road generation began to demolish and rebuild, and the bungalow of Lao Zhang's Lamian Noodles family was also demolished. I went to his house for noodles for the last time and heard about it. I asked a guy, and he said he hadn't found the right place yet. At that time, I thought Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles had disappeared.

Six months later, I met that guy on the road. He told me that they had moved to a parking lot on the west side of Joy City Road.

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles has opened another one, which is still the iconic signboard that says "Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles". The room is still not decorated, with four white floors, but the house is new after all, much cleaner than before, with more than ten tables.

At first, business was not very good. Some old guests can't find a place, and Lao Zhang didn't post the new address on the door panel of the old house. Lao Zhang has this confidence, and slowly, old guests like me are back. Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles, hiding in the parking lot, is really "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley".

I haven't seen Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhang's wife since I moved to the parking lot. I heard that they bought a house in Yanjiao and went home to take care of their children wholeheartedly.

Now Lamian Noodles depends on a few guys, all from Lao Zhang's hometown. He took them out of his hometown and taught them the craft. A middle-aged aunt is mainly responsible for ordering food at the window, a young man, Lamian Noodles, a young man delivers the noodles to the table, and two women collect the table. Lao Zhang is still sitting leisurely in the house or backyard, and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law is still busy helping.

Lamian Noodles still smells the same. It hasn't changed at all. Besides the people who used to eat Lamian Noodles, many new faces have been added. At lunch time, people who line up for noodles can go out, but no one is in a hurry. As we all know, this is the rule of Lao Zhang and Lamian Noodles. Those guys remember who came first and who came later. A room full of people, they will be able to accurately deliver noodles to every diner.

Come to Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles, in addition to the authentic taste, the speed above is also very fast, and the noodles often come up as soon as you sit down. The drinks in the freezer are also taken by the guests themselves, and no one is supervising whether to pay when checking out. Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles has the same personality as Lao Zhang. Take your time. Whether he pays or not depends on the consciousness of the guests, but the more he does it, the more addicted he becomes.

This year, on February 2nd, the dragon looked up and went to eat Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles the next day. The guys are still those guys, but everyone is wearing brand-new work clothes: the master is a standard white chef's suit, and the sisters are crimson waiters' suits.

Lao Zhang Lamian Noodles only operates for one year 12 months 10 months. He closed the door one month before the Spring Festival and went home for the Spring Festival. He didn't come back until a whole year passed.

Lao Zhang has only cooked this bowl of noodles for more than ten years, but it is well-known in the Joy City area of Qingnian Road.
