Two large cauldrons were steaming, the stir-fried meat slices were tumbling in the cauldron, and the soup base was boiling. Bench and Shunzi were each looking at a large cauldron, pulling lumps of dough into the cauldron.
Pieces of meat as big as half a palm, lumps of dough as big as a palm, and oily soup, rolling and intertwined, emitting bursts of fragrance, spreading throughout Daxing Yazi.
The stomachs of the workers began to sing about the empty city plan.
It’s almost noon, it’s time to eat, it smells so delicious!
The dough balls are cooked, and a handful of chopped green onions are thrown in. Suddenly, the aroma becomes more intense.
The workers couldn't get enough of the empty city plan, and the roundworms were eager to crawl outside.
The village chief, who was about to go back to the village but was left to have lunch by Song Qiuwan, looked at the two cauldrons and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Why do noodles with meat smell so fragrant? They must be delicious.
Looking back at the Chinese New Year, my family was also very proud. We weighed some white noodles and went home to cook them with some meat.
After having nothing to do and picking up gravel for a while, Song Qiu and the other three wiped their sweat and came over to wash their hands. When they saw that the dumplings were cooked, they asked Yang Dalian to shout that everyone should finish their work and eat.
The same goes for eating early and getting back to work early.
The sound of eating was like the sound of nature. Everyone, whose hands were still working but whose hearts had long since stopped working, straightened up, rubbed their hands, and walked this way.
Farmers don't pay attention to their work, they don't wash their hands, they just rub them, and then everyone comes over and lines up to wait for the bowls to be served.
It was the same bowl that everyone had drank tea from just now. Ben Shi and Shun Zi started to scoop it up, one bowl per person. Each bowl was a full bowl, with seven or eight pieces of dough and seven or eight pieces of meat in it.
Everyone got their bowls and sat on the floor. They didn't talk much, just filling their stomachs, and everyone started to eat happily.
Douhua, who was so tired that he couldn't straighten up, finally got the bowl, walked to the village chief and sat down, and took a sip of oil to warm him up, which made his whole body feel comfortable.
She glanced at the three girls who were holding a bowl of noodles and eating them like them, and thought to herself, these girls are really down-to-earth.
He opened his mouth and was reluctant to eat the meat. He only took a piece of dough and ate it in small bites. Hesitatingly said to the village chief: "Uncle, can I go back?"
The village chief was praising in his heart that these meaty dough balls were really delicious. After hearing this, he understood what she meant, but he shook his head, "The weather is short, it gets dark early, and the work is done early. After eating,
You should work quickly after taking a break. Why don't you go back and delay things? Eat quickly, and take a break after eating. I see you have been working all morning, and you can't even take a breath. You must be tired.
?How can you work in the afternoon if you don't have enough to eat? If you don't do well, I won't ask you to come tomorrow and I'll see you cry."
Douhua listened to the advice and immediately gave up her thoughts of going back. She picked up a piece of meat and ate it. The smell immediately made her nose sore.
The last time I ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, and I didn’t even bother to buy a pound of meat for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
The kids are all hungry.
But I had some money in my hand, so I was busy getting medicine for the man.
Douhua couldn't help it, and kept the remaining pieces of meat. Thinking that he would drink up the soup later, he picked up a few pieces of meat and wrapped them in tree leaves, and took them back to the baby to eat after work.
The place is filled with the sound of slurping, drinking soup and eating noodles, and the aroma fills the air.
At this moment, a convoy of vehicles came up the official road and came this way. Seeing so many people here and smelling the fragrance, they had to stop.
A middle-aged man in silk clothes who looked like a steward got off the carriage, walked over with his clothes in hand, and asked the nearest person: "Fellow, what are you doing?"
The village chief was sitting on the outskirts. Seeing that this man was well-dressed and a passerby, he immediately said, "Yes, he is building a house."
The steward was even more curious after hearing this, "This place has no village and no shops. How could you build a house here?"
The village chief reciprocated the favor and also wanted to make Song Qiu's name known, "It was because this place had no place in front of the village and no shops in the back, but it was on the edge of the official road, so I thought of building a place for pedestrians to rest here.
It doesn’t matter if you want to stop for a meal or stay overnight, it’s convenient for everyone.”
When the manager heard this, his eyes lit up. They travel between Shouzhou and Lizhou all year round to deliver goods. It is more than thirty miles from Cannabis Town to Chunlin Town. Half of it is not an official road and the road is not easy to walk. Chang Ye estimated
If the time is not right, sometimes we will start late and miss meals, and occasionally we will have to sleep in the wild for a night.
Suddenly someone had the idea to build a resting place in the middle, which is really a good thing.
The steward thought this, then looked at the wasteland that was still being cleaned up, and asked the village chief, "I wonder how long it will take for this inn to be built? Maybe we can have a chance to rest here on our way back from Lizhou Fucheng?"
"
It would take eight or nine days to get to Lizhou Fucheng from here. They would have to wait a few days when they got to Fucheng, load the goods and return. They had to go back and forth, and it would take more than half a month. How could they have completed the construction?
The village chief didn't know how long it took to build it. Seeing that the steward might be a guest of the inn, the village chief hurriedly called Song Qiulai.
Several groups of people passed by it in the morning, and some asked what it was doing, but this manager was the first to ask how long it would take to build it.
Song Qiu was quite enthusiastic about potential guests and hurriedly replied.
When the steward heard that, he nodded with a smile. Knowing that Song Qiu was the boss, he said: "It's dinner time. We have to walk for half an hour to get to Chunlin Town. It just so happens that we are destined. I wonder if you guys
Do you still have plenty of rice? Can you sell some to us?"
Song Qiu listened and looked at the guys accompanying the car. There were only about eight or nine people who had cooked two large cauldrons of dough. Each of the twenty or so people had a bowl. It was estimated that some people would add half a bowl and a bowl.
, can also compete with these ten people.
Forging a good relationship also helps attract guests to the inn.
Song Qiu nodded, and immediately asked two people on the bench to help serve the noodles.
There were enough noodles, but not enough bowls. I only bought thirty bowls at first, but now there were a few left. Fortunately, Song Qiu and the others had already finished eating, so they hurriedly washed out the bowls they had eaten, and collected ten bowls.
After ten bowls were filled, there was still a lot left in the cauldron. At that moment, each of the workers added another spoonful and emptied the cauldron.
The steward and his party ate a bowl of hot meat slices and gnocchi. Not to mention how delicious it was, it was warm and filling.
After eating, the steward has to pay money.
Song Qiu waved his hand and said it was fate. It was just some noodles and it was regarded as a gift.
The steward did not refuse, smiled and thanked her, and said that when the inn was built, they would come to take care of business whenever they passed by.
Song Qiu was naturally full of welcome.
The pasta was filling, and with plenty of oil and water, the hot soup made everyone feel warm. Everyone felt satisfied after eating.
After eating a good meal, I felt full of energy. After resting for a while, I continued to work.
The big cauldron would continue to boil water for everyone to make tea in the afternoon. Song Qiu left Yang Dalian and Shunzi here to wait for the work to end.
The three of them took the bench and took the carriage back to Chunlin Town.
