When Wang Xiaoyi was 15 years old, his mother asked him to learn a trade. The first time I saw this, I was able to get the ball rolling, and I was able to get the ball rolling, and I was able to get the ball rolling. The first time he went to the market, he started to pay attention to the fish and shrimp.
This day, Wang Xiaoyi finished sending fish is wandering around the street, suddenly heard someone call him. Wang Xiaoyi turned around to see, it turned out to be the opening of the noodle shop Xu Da. This Xu Da is a Luoyang people, do a handful of good noodle work. I heard that his family brother and others in a lawsuit, he was afraid of being implicated and ran out. Settled in Jinli last fall, in the south end of the street hangs out the face of Xu Da Noodle House flag, do soup below, soup taste good, noodles have tendons and bones, and cheap, so it is very popular. Production is doing more and more red. Recently, looking to recruit a little buddy. He looked at Wang Xiaoyi as a loyal and honest, and hardworking, people also good, have the intention to recruit Wang Xiaoyi help. When Xu Da put the idea and Wang Xiaoyi said, Wang Xiaoyi agreed, the two said, in addition to food, January to thirty money. Wang Xiao Er was very happy to find this beautiful job.
The next day, Wang Xiaoyi went into the noodle shop to work. In addition to running the hall, other miscellaneous work, no matter is tired, dirty all rush to do, a bit of free time, will follow a little bit of learning ingredients, pressing the noodle handicraft work.
A year has passed. One day at the end of the day, Xu Da called Wang Xiaoyi and said: Xiaoyi ah, I have to go back to Luoyang. I heard that the family lawsuit is over, from tomorrow onwards I will teach you all the tricks of this noodle work, you learn by heart. Wang Xiaoyi heard the kowtow, tea, is to worship the master. Half a month later, Xu Da retired from the store and went back to his hometown in Luoyang.
Wang Xiaoyi has no capital, can not afford to rent the street store, because of the simple in front of the house built a mat shed, set up a few tables and stools, in front of the tree to pick up a Wang Xiaoyi noodle shop signboard opened. Don't look at the store is not big, eat noodles of people one after another. The first time I saw it, I had to wait a while to get a bowl of Wang Xiaoyi's noodles.
Wang Xiaoyi, who has been doing his job for a long time, has not only kept Xu Da's specialty of making noodles, but has also used his brain to come up with new ways of making soup. Xu Da original just a bone soup below, Wang Xiao Er in addition to meat and bone soup, but also added chicken soup noodles, fresh fish soup noodles and vegetables noodles. Meat soup and divided into a head soup, two soup, in the fire also mastered just right. Wang Xiao Er also paid attention to observing and exploring the different tastes of different customers, and summarized the business method of "people's soup". Rich people, wealthy people and big businessmen come to eat meat noodles, with two soup, so that meat flavor in, but went to the big oil. People who work hard, eat meat noodles despite the soup on the head, eat the oil drip that is to relieve the appetite, the heart is also comfortable. Eat fresh fish noodles, he also on people with fish. There are free, chatting guests on the whitefish, whitefish flavor fresh thorns, people coming to the road, give catfish, flavorful meat more thorns less. In this way, Wang Xiaoyi opened the noodle shop on the people against the soup was quickly rumored, the business is doing better and better, day after day there is income. In less than a year's time to open the front wall of the house, in style, opened the Wang Xiaoyi noodle shop.
One day, Zhang Guolao about He Xianggu to go to the catfish puddle game, passing by the Jinli want to eat a bowl of soup noodles made by Wang Xiaoyi. He and He Xiangu discussed, he pretended to be a rich merchant, and asked He Xiangu to dress up as a blind woman begging for food. Zhang Guolao and He Xiangu arrived at Wang Xiaoji's noodle shop one after another.
A big-bellied rich merchant swung into the Wang Xiaowei's noodle shop, Wang Xiaowei busy front full of smiles will guests arranged to sit down, one side of the pouring tea, one side of the introduction of noodle shop fancy varieties of specialties, the rich merchant asked for a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Not long after, the surface came, the aroma of the nose, chicken tender skinless, rich businessmen first drink a mouthful of soup, although no yellow chicken oil, but no loss of strong chicken flavor, even said: delicious, delicious. At this time, Wang Xiao Er heard someone moaning outside the door, a look at the door at some point under the tree sitting a blind woman begging for food, looks like three days without food. Wang Xiao Er hurriedly ran out to help the blind woman into the store to sit down, not long to the blind woman served half a bowl of cooked through the vegetables noodles. The blind woman swallowed the noodles and ate them. Wang Xiao Er said: Granny eat slowly, your stomach is empty, you should not eat too fast at the beginning, too much, and should not be too oily, wait for an hour, I will give you a bowl of chicken soup noodles. The blind granny thanked me profusely.
Wang Xiao Er served the blind granny, turned his face and disappeared the rich merchant, only to see the table to put an ingot of two silver, Wang Xiao Er grabbed the silver rushed to the door, the rich merchant has disappeared. Wang Xiao Er said to himself: My goodness, two money is enough, what to do? What should we do? Wang mother heard Wang Xiaoyi words out of the house to say: Xiaoyi ah, that is a passing merchant it, to be a few days he came back to pass by this place, and then return to him is, if not come back to donate the silver to the temple.

When Wang Xiaoyi's earthly life was full, they jointly petitioned the Jade Emperor and recommended Wang Xiaoyi to be the chief of the Imperial Catering House in the Heavenly Palace.
