This caused the proprietress to put up a sign at the door of the store, encouraging diners to come back the next day.
Then I quickly prepared the ingredients for the next day and called back Lao Wang, who had gone out to work on someone else's construction site, to sell noodles together the next day.
I heard that the next day the lady boss prepared 500 bowls of rice noodles, but they were all sold out by noon. At that time, outside the store, a row of diners squatted on the roadside with stainless steel bowls of rice noodles, feasting on them. Just looking at them made people drool.
Later, Wu An and Li Yuhua learned that the rice noodle shop became popular, but they were not surprised.
After all, any store that they post a video about will basically be popular for a while and will continue to have a steady stream of customers.
For Wu An and Li Yuhua, the greatest value of releasing those videos is that they have saved the restaurants they like to eat at - at least, the old restaurants can continue to operate well, so they don't have to worry about them closing down and they won't be able to eat at them.
The only drawback is that if they want to eat rice noodles, they have to queue up in a long line, then squat on the roadside with a stainless steel bowl of rice noodles to eat the noodles.
——Although I had told the boss lady before and asked them to cut in line, but sometimes the boss lady and her colleagues were too busy and had no time to take care of them.
Wu An and Li Yuhua did not cause her any trouble, nor did they actively seek privileges from her.
In this way, in addition to "Wang's Rice Noodles", Wu An and Li Yuhua also brought popularity to some small shops hidden in the alleys during their time in South City.
In addition to daily store visits and video making, Wu An and Li Yuhua's learning has also entered a new stage.
Wu An can no longer numb himself by laying the foundation, he needs to produce something substantial. He studied computer graphics and recently began to self-study computer graphics-related subjects and tried to use some existing graphics software to learn.
Li Yuhua also began to try to draw some clothing design manuscripts - in fact, she did not need to start professional design so quickly, but she felt that it was time to accumulate some design experience.
Whether it is learning or inspiration, it takes a long time to accumulate.
During this holiday, Wu An and Li Yuhua were both accumulating their strength.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and visiting relatives and friends is essential.
No one knew who leaked the news, but when relatives found out that Wu An had a girlfriend, they started clamoring for him to bring his girlfriend over.
Coincidentally, that day, Wu An and Li Yuhua exchanged bodies, and Wu An didn't want to go to the so-called "family dinner" at Li Yuhua's house, so he decided to follow "that Wu An" to visit his own relatives.
When everyone saw "that Li Yuhua" next to "that Wu An", their eyes widened.
I wanted to pick and choose, but I found that I couldn't find any faults with Li Yuhua at all. In the end, I enviously wished them all the best:
Go all the way and get married quickly.
The blessings from relatives are sincere.
After all, their nephew had a beautiful girlfriend, who later became his wife, and then they could brag about her to their friends.
Later, Wu An heard from Li Yuhua that her father heard a relative introduce her to a boyfriend at a so-called family gathering. The boyfriend was said to be a top student from a certain university, his parents were officials, and he had a bright future.
However, her father helped her to refuse.
He also said that his daughter already has a boyfriend, who is also an excellent student at Peking University and Tsinghua University. The two of them are in love and do not accept harassment from other boys.
I heard that the relative also wanted Wu An to introduce that boy to him for comparison.
But it seems that none of them can compare to Wu An.
When talking about this incident, Li Yuhua showed a cute and proud expression.
It’s a pity that neither Li Yuhua nor Wu An attended that family dinner, otherwise it would have been very exciting.
Wu An: "I don't want to go to those weird social gatherings at your house."
Li Yuhua: "Hey, I don't want to go either!"
In short, regardless of what others think of them, Wu An and Li Yuhua continue their boring daily life.
The Spring Festival passed quickly and school started soon after.
#84 That important festival
School has started, and the most important thing is of course studying.
Wu An had almost finished learning all the subjects for the sophomore semester during his freshman year. Perhaps the professors at Peking University and Tsinghua University were all aware of the virtues of these "excellent students", so in the first class of the semester, they asked everyone who had finished learning the subjects he taught.
If you have finished learning and feel that coming to class is a waste of time, then take the exam. Once you pass the exam, you don't need to attend the subsequent courses.
Wu An was naturally happy to apply for the exam to reduce his academic burden.
Not only Wu An did this, the genius in their computer graphics class also took the exam in advance.
After all this time, the only students left in the class who still needed to attend classes on time were a few who wanted to slack off.
When they saw that they were the only ones left in the class, they did not dare to slack off. They exerted the same enthusiasm that had gotten them into Peking University and Tsinghua University, and managed to complete the coursework in just two weeks, and then went to the professor to take the exam.
On Li Yuhua's side, their class was still teaching as usual.
In addition to the basic compulsory courses in college and daily art improvement courses, there are also design ideas and appreciations from various masters.
After the familiarization process in the first semester of freshman year, in the second semester of university, various design exhibitions and activities invited first-year students of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Li Yuhua also received an invitation.
A fashion design organization called "Discover Design" sent an invitation saying that it would organize a clothing and series concept design show for college students, and participants could participate by paying money.
There will be many clothing companies participating in that design show. If the designed clothes can be favored by first-class companies, they can sell their designs in the form of copyright design cooperation.
Li Yuhua learned more about this organization called "Discover Design" and decided to give it a try.
The design cycle is two months, and Li Yuhua is eager to try it out.
With a goal to work towards, free time became less. Li Yuhua became busy, and Wu An could not stay out of it.
——He would think about designing something for Li Yuhua, but more importantly, he would accompany Li Yuhua in studying.
Of course, all of the above were just some small episodes in Wu An’s study. Not long after school started, a very important festival came before Wu An.
--Valentine's Day.
When talking about this festival with Li Yuhua before, Wu An said righteously:
"Chinese people, this is just a Western festival."
Although he said so, he silently kept this festival in his heart.
On Valentine's Day, there is at least a Li Yuhua to create some surprises.
Li Yuhua saw through Wu An's thoughts, and said with a giggle that she was waiting for his surprise.
Of course, the young lady was not willing to be outdone. It was impossible for her to let Wu An prepare the so-called surprise alone. Li Yuhua must also prepare something.
However, Wu An was stumped as to what kind of surprise he could bring to Li Yuhua.
What kind of surprise can express your feelings?
He looked up some information online, and the love gurus on the Internet told him: Pay attention to the details in daily life and find out what the person you like needs from the details.
I understand the principle, but this rule doesn't seem to apply in front of the young lady.
This young lady has everything she needs materially. If there is anything she lacks, it is only inspiration.
——Design requires inspiration. Wu An knew that Li Yuhua was often troubled by not being able to come up with an original design.
But can inspiration be given away casually?
Wu An shook his head.
Then I looked at other people’s posts, which said that they could give away some cosmetics that all girls need.
Some big brands of cosmetics tell good stories, and each of their products contains a romantic story. For example, a certain brand of bracelets is said to be the shackles of love, implying that you will lock the person you love in your palm.
For example, a certain brand of perfume has a love story behind it, involving an ancient royal family member, a romantic and loyal love.
For example...
In short, there are quite a lot of these small items that hype up stories. The items are not practical, but the stories are very touching.
It can be used as a backup option - if you really can't think of anything, this is the only option.
Emotional masters also gave a third method: To give a loved one a surprise on Valentine's Day, you don't need material things, but actions.
On that day, prepare some sweet words, read a poem or sing a song for your loved one in a memorable place, and express your love for her in the way you are good at...
Well, that sounds like empty talk.
Wu An can't compose poetry and his singing is average, not to mention other performances.
However, it is not impossible to prepare.
It would be nice to then shamelessly sing a song and watch the young lady burst into laughter because his singing was not good.
Looking at these methods, Wu An felt that they were all unreliable.
Wu An was very distressed.
In order to avoid making mistakes, Wu An simply combined the three ways of expressing surprise.
——First, buy a skirt that I think a young lady would need.
Li Yuhua has a good figure and looks. She will not refuse any skirt. Although it may not be stunning, she will never go wrong.
Then, I got an everlasting flower.
The so-called everlasting flower is a kind of "specimen" that has undergone special treatment when it is in bloom so that it will never "wither".
Sometimes, there is a romantic story behind it, representing everlasting love, eternal happiness, and a lifetime of companionship.
These stories sound like they are all clichés, but Wu An has no choice.
Finally, when Valentine's Day was approaching, Wu An secretly drew a picture in the form of a cartoon, or imagined what Li Yuhua and himself would look like when they grew old.
Perhaps this is Wu An's final way of expressing togetherness.
As for singing…pair it with a special person.
Finally, I put the skirt, everlasting flowers, and framed paintings in a transparent bag with flowers in it, and asked Zhou Yunlong to take it back to the dormitory to keep it, so that Li Yuhua would not find it before Valentine's Day.
I still remember that when Zhou Yunlong took the bag from Wu An, he was so envious that his teeth ached.
"What a pedantic thing this is!"
"How could you couples be so excessive?"
Zhou Yunlong was indignant.
In response to this situation, Wu An said: "I'll treat you to a barbecue after this is over," and then this group of friends obediently agreed.
It's a good meal, not shabby.
