"Brother, why don't you... forget it!" After leaving the Xu Mansion, Douzi gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes. Although he really wanted to save his sister, he knew that the store would definitely not be able to bear the ninety cents, so he was very sensible and wanted to give up on his own initiative. However, after saying this, his tears flowed even harder.

"What's the point? Isn't it just money? I won't bring you to Tokyo without bringing it to you without taking it. Before, I could have taken you naked to break into Tokyo City, so of course I could get ninety cents in three days, so don't worry about money!" Li Zhang pretended to be relaxed and said.

"But so much money..."

"Why, don't you believe in my brother's ability?" Before Douzi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhang.

"No, I just..."

"Okay, isn't it just money? When I went out just now, I had already thought of a few ways to find money. Let's try it when we go back later!" Li Zhang interrupted Douzi again and said. He did not lie. He had been thinking about where to get enough 90 stagnants. Now he had several ways, but he had no idea how much money he could get.

When Douzi heard Li Zhang say this, although he didn't say anything, tears kept flowing, and he was full of gratitude to Li Zhang. His life was saved by Li Zhang. Now even his closest sister wanted Li Zhang to save him, which made him secretly swear in his heart that he would repay Li Zhang's kindness to his siblings in the future.

When Li Zhang and the others returned home, it was almost dark. When Chou Niang and the others saw that they came back, they immediately surrounded him and asked. However, when they saw Douzi's face full of tears, they all guessed that things were not going well, so they all spoke to comfort them.

However, Li Zhang seemed to be fine. After telling Chou Niang and the others a few words, he got into the kitchen alone. They cooked the kitchen by themselves. Because Li Zhang thought Chou Niang and the others were not good at craftsmanship, he usually cooked two meals in the morning and evening. There was also mutton soup he had cooked long ago in the kitchen. Today he wanted to make a different supper for Dou Zi and the others, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.

At that moment, Li Zhang lit the fire and heated the mutton soup, and then took out the awakened noodles from the basin next to him. This noodles were kneaded in the morning. He woke up until now, and the noodles became very vigorous. Take it out and cut it into small strips, then apply oil and let it sit aside.

When the mutton soup was boiled and the bones inside were rolling in the pot with the white soup, they picked up the noodles and pulled them into a wide one. After a while, the noodles with two fingers wide were cooked. Then they copied the noodles into a large bowl, put the cut coriander, shredded tofu skin, scallion, salt, etc. Finally, they poured a spoonful of hot mutton soup on the noodles, and then put a few slices of cut mutton, and a bowl of fresh, fragrant and delicious noodles were made.

Li Zhang's movements were very fast. In a short while, more than a dozen bowls of stewed noodles were ready. The wild dog was special. Li Zhang made a basin for him directly in a basin. He had no full food and had mutton soup, so he would not be hungry anyway.

"Okay, you guys have dinner first, I'll go to the side!" Li Zhang left the kitchen at this time, and then asked the ugly lady to serve everyone's meal, while he himself brought a bowl of stewed noodles to the Zhou Hushi soup cake shop next to him.

The so-called soup cake is actually noodles. The soup cake made by Zhou Laoshi is similar to the handmade noodles in later generations. It is to use a rolling pin to roll the noodles into a thin slice, then cut it into thin noodles with a knife, put it in the pot and cook it, pour it with mutton soup and cut it with a few slices of mutton. The ingredients are very similar to the stewed noodles, but the taste is far less than that of stewed noodles. Especially the noodles are not strong, and the taste alone is much worse.

It's dark now, because I'm worried about a curfew, there are no customers in the store. Zhou Laoshi's family is also cleaning the store. After Li Zhang came in, he smiled and said, "Have you eaten by Uncle Zhou?"

"No, why are you here, Brother Li?" Zhou Laoshi saw Li Zhang and hurriedly put down his work. His store was much larger than Li Zhang's place. The store could put down more than a dozen tables and chairs, and the business was very good. There were almost no customers in the store from morning to night. Therefore, Zhou Laoshi was also very busy. He only went to Li Zhang's place when he delivered lunch, and occasionally bought some braised pork to go back.

"Haha, my family has just made dinner, and it's a soup cake. I used to eat your soup cake from Uncle Zhou, so I would like to ask you to taste the soup cake I made?" Li Zhang smiled and put the stewed noodles in front of Zhou Laoshi and said.

"Oh~, Brother Li can make soup cakes, too?" The sister-in-law of the Zhou family couldn't help but walk over curiously when she heard Li Zhang's words. She was a woman in her forties. Her middle-aged fat body made her look a little bloated, but her appearance showed a sense of shrewdness. In fact, Zhou Hushi was only responsible for making soup cakes, and she was responsible for everything inside and outside the store.

"It smells so good!" Cai Niang also twitched her nose and came over, then lay on the bowl of braised noodles and drooled. She had eaten a lot of rice cooked by Li Zhang, so she had known Li Zhang's cooking skills for a long time.

"It's indeed fragrant. How did this soup be cooked?" Zhou Laoshi is worthy of being a master of soup cakes. He knows that the key to a bowl of soup cakes lies in the soup. The soup in this bowl of soup cakes is snow-white in color and has a strange fragrance, which is far better than the mutton soup he made.

"Uncle Zhou, please try it first and then talk about it in detail!" Li Zhang said again with a smile.

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Zhou's sister-in-law hurriedly brought the chopsticks, and then Zhou Laoshi took a piece of stewed noodles and looked at it. There was a little suspicion in his eyes. It was probably the first time he saw such a wide noodles, but he still put the noodles in his mouth and tasted them, and immediately exclaimed loudly: "Good taste, this skill is much better than mine!"

After hearing Zhou Laoshi's words, the Zhou sister-in-law was a little unbelievable. She snatched the chopsticks and tasted them by herself. As a result, she had to admit that the soup cakes made by Li Zhang were not only delicious, but also powerful. Even the mutton used as toppings was better than the ones cooked at home. This made her look depressed. If Li Zhang opened a soup cake shop, it would probably not take long to snatch his business.

"I didn't expect that Brother Li, you are not only good at braised pork, but also in soup cakes. I remember that I often praised our soup cakes in front of you, which is a bit embarrassing!" Zhou Laoshi praised him sincerely at the moment, and at the end he showed a embarrassed expression. It seemed that he didn't think about anything else.

"Uncle Zhou is polite. In fact, I'm going to tell you that I call this soup cake stewed noodles. The most important thing is the method of making mutton soup and noodles. And because some ingredients are not found today, the taste is still a little worse, otherwise it will taste better!" Li Zhang smiled and said again. His meaning was actually very obvious. He just wanted to sell the stewed noodles to Zhou Laoshi in order to raise money for the beans.

However, Zhou Zhen was too honest, and still didn't understand what Li Zhang meant at this time. Fortunately, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family next to him was very smart. At this time, she looked at Li Zhang and smiled and said, "Brother Li, you have something to say, but if you have anything, just say it. My family doesn't understand what you are saying in your turn!"

"Haha, it's still the Zhou sister-in-law who is straightforward, so I'll just say it. You two have tried this kind of braised noodles. If your shop also makes this kind of braised noodles in the future, the business will probably be better. Cai Niang will not be short of dowry at that time!" Li Zhang said with a laugh.

"Oh~, it turns out that Brother Li wanted to sell us the method of making braised noodles!" Zhou Laoshi finally got to know him at this time. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly. He was still very interested in the method of making braised noodles.

However, compared to Zhou honest, Zhou's sister-in-law was very calm. She smiled at Li Zhang and said, "Of course we want to buy such delicious noodles, but we are a small business, I wonder how much Brother Li plans to make a price?"

"This..." When it comes to the price, Li Zhang showed a hesitant expression because he didn't know how much to buy. After all, this thing is not like braised pork, and there is no reference at all. If you want too much, the other party will definitely not agree. If you want less, he will suffer a loss. After all, he is now in need of money.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, please give me a price. After all, it is the first time I have sold this thing, and I have no idea!" Li Zhang finally kicked the ball to the other party and said, "The price can be negotiated anyway."

"Five guan, our soup cakes are very famous and the business is very good. With the noodles, it is just a icing on the cake. If you don't have them, you won't make a lot of money." The sister-in-law of the Zhou family said very smartly.

"You're boring to say this. If I sell the method of making braised noodles to other people on this street, I will definitely rob your business at that time. So braised is actually more important to you. I want to sell it to you because Uncle Zhou has been taking care of us!" Li Zhang said without showing any weakness.

Zhou Laoshi couldn't even interfere at this time, and when the Zhou sister-in-law heard Li Zhang's words, she couldn't help but look at him deeply. She probably didn't expect that Li Zhang would be so difficult to deal with at a young age, but she was not easily convinced. She bargained with Li Zhang back and forth, and finally the price was discussed by Li Zhang for fifteen stakes, which was also the highest price that Zhou sister-in-law could accept.

"Okay, that's it. I'll teach Uncle Zhou the way to make the noodles, it's just the money..." Li Zhang finally made the decision.

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family was also a cheerful person. She immediately went upstairs and carried a bag of copper coins for Li Zhang. Li Zhang counted it for exactly fifteen stanzas, so she immediately took Zhou Laoshi to the kitchen and told the other party in detail about the cooking method of the noodles, which mainly included the preparation of mutton soup, the ingredients needed, and the processing of the noodles, etc.

After teaching Zhou Laoshi, Li Zhang called a wild dog to carry the fifteen-spot copper coins back to the store. When he saw Li Zhang raising so many copper coins after he went out, Douzi and the others were shocked, and hope ignited in his heart. Li Zhang also showed full of confidence. It seemed that ninety-spot was really no problem, which made Douzi and the others more confident.
