After a while, the market became lively, selling chickens, ducks, rice, vegetables, game, and breakfast. The cries of all kinds of things were endless. Yuezhen noticed that many people who were originally walking this way were seeing people.
Most of the unfamiliar stalls turned a corner. Occasionally, those who walked by would glance at them and see that they were just selling steamed buns, so they would shake their heads and walk away.
Mrs. Liu was already a little unable to wipe her face, and her head bowed even more when she saw this. Yuezhen was not in a hurry, she was very confident in her craftsmanship, and when she saw that the noodle stall next to her was not busy, she hurriedly pretended to have four or five
After putting the buns in the bowl, he said hello to Mrs. Liu and walked over.
"Uncle, aunt, my mother asked me to bring some buns over for you to try. We will also set up stalls here in the future. I hope you will take care of me!" Yue Zhen said with a sweet smile, looking up.
The noodle stall was opened by a couple. The man was cooking noodles in silence, while the woman was greeting passers-by with a warm smile. Seeing Yuezhen, a little girl coming over, she hurriedly took the buns and praised with a smile: "
Look at this little girl, her little mouth really knows how to talk, haha, it doesn’t matter if you don’t care or not, we all take care of each other.”
"I don't deserve aunt's praise. Haha, aunt, do we have a fixed owner for that position? My mother is worried about occupying other people's territory."
"No, this is where my family usually puts it. Your place is not a good location. Most people come here on the market days of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Most of the time, it's first come, first served. You and your
My mother said that even if it is there, there is no need to worry. However, you still have to talk to your mother about those government officials and people you can talk to on the street, and take good care of it, and you must not offend it. Here is ten cents.
Take it back to your mother, and you'll have a prosperous business!" Auntie was a cheerful person, she warned Yue Zhen carefully, and she smiled and nodded at Mrs. Liu not far away as a greeting.
"How can I ask for aunt's money? I said I would give it to you to try." Yue Zhen declined.
"I am here to give you a wish. I wish you good luck and a prosperous business. If you feel sorry for it, you can treat me to your steamed buns in the future. I am tired of eating noodles every day!" said the aunt.
Touch Yuezhen's head.
Yue Zhen didn't say much when she saw this. She thanked her obediently and returned to Mrs. Liu with the copper plate.
"Mom, why don't we also learn to hawk?" After about half a stick of incense had passed, Yue Zhen said when she saw that no one had come yet.
"This,,,this. How are you selling? I really can't shout!" Ms. Liu tried several times to open her mouth but couldn't shout out, and her face turned red in panic.
"Come and see, come and try, the freshly baked white flour and soup-filled meat buns are free of charge! The big meat buns with thin skin and lots of fillings are tender and delicious. Don't miss it," Yuezhen said
He took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs. The child's crisp screams were particularly different from the hawkers' cries one after another. Several traveling businessmen couldn't help but stop and look here.
There was a tall, muscular man with full beards and a fierce look on his face and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have a bad tone. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay for it. Is it true? Give me a try first. If not,
It’s delicious, but I really won’t pay for it. Don’t cry when the time comes!”
"Okay, uncle, these are our new invention of soup dumplings, stuffed with pure meat. You have to be careful not to get burned. If uncle doesn't think it tastes good, just leave. I won't charge you, girl!"
Yuezhen quickly handed over a bun and said with a smile.
Despite the ferocious look on that man's face, he actually liked children the most, but ordinary dolls would be scared when they saw him. Now when he saw Yuezhen's weird look, he couldn't help but start laughing. In his previous life, he was
Yuezhen, an orphan, has seen everyone's faces since she was a child. She is the best at observing people's words and expressions. How could she not see the kindness in the man's eyes?
The man didn't expect a bun to be so delicious. He took a big bite and half of the bun was gone. The soup in the bun flowed down the corner of the man's mouth, making the man grin. But the bun was delicious and tender, with tender skin.
There are many fillings, the soup is mellow and rich, and the mouth is oily but not greasy. The taste is just good, much better than ordinary steamed buns.
The man ignored the burning and swallowed two mouthfuls. He wiped the corners of his mouth roughly and said, "Uh-huh, it's delicious. It's delicious. No wonder you dare to talk nonsense. How much does one cost? Give me five."
"Okay, uncle, our steamed buns are divided into pure meat fillings. Among them, the original price of pure meat fillings is three cents each. Today is the first day of opening for two cents. There are shepherd's purse meat fillings, leek meat fillings, and cabbage meat fillings.
The original price was two cents a piece, and today it’s five cents and three. The original price of vegetable stuffing was one cent, and today it’s two cents. Uncle, what kind of stuffing do you want?”
"Why are they so expensive? Their steamed stuffed buns with pure meat filling only cost 2 cents a piece. Why do you want 3 cents a piece?" said an aunt next to me dissatisfied.
"Auntie, our fillings are different from those at other places. You will know after eating it whether it is a good deal or not. Moreover, we also have free soup. A bowl of ordinary bone soup on the street costs two."
Just give me a bowl, our family will give it to you for free!" Yuezhen was not angry and explained with a smile.
"Is it really so good?" The aunt smelled the fragrance and wanted to buy it but was reluctant to part with it. She muttered beside her.
"The price is honest, little girl, please hurry up and get me two pure meat fillings, and then one each with shepherd's purse meat filling, leek meat filling, and water spinach meat filling. I will eat it directly here." The man nodded.
Urging Yuezhen.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu quickly scooped up a bowl of bone soup for the man. Yuezhen was filling the buns on the side. The man took it to the table and started eating. The anxious look on his face, the rich aroma of the buns, and the bone soup were even more fragrant.
It floated everywhere, causing onlookers to swallow their saliva.
"Bring me three soup dumplings stuffed with pure meat."
"Give me two shepherd's purse meat buns and one shepherd's purse meat bun,,,"
"Bring me a soup dumpling with pure meat filling, a vegetarian dumpling with shepherd's purse, and a vegetarian dumpling with chives."
,,,,,,
You said something to me, and for a while, the Li family's stall became the busiest place nearby. Liu's mother and daughter were in a hurry. The table they brought was not enough to sit on, and those people didn't care. They held a bowl of bone soup in one hand and a bowl of bone soup in the other.
Taking the buns, I squatted on the street and started eating.
Li Sanzhi was dumbfounded when he came. He didn't expect that he would have such good business on the first day. After Li Sanzhi came, he took over Liu's job of ladling soup and collecting money, and Liu was free to clean up the used bowls.
chopsticks.
In less than an hour, the 350 buns brought by the Li family were sold out. Many people who still wanted to buy had to leave with regret. They all said that the Li family made too few buns and would make more tomorrow.
Come and sell. Li Sanzhi smiled happily and agreed one by one.
Ms. Liu was holding the box with the copper plates in her hands, her eyes shining. She really didn't expect that the business was so easy to do. She received a total of 500 yuan from the buns sold. A rough calculation showed that she could make a net profit of 300 yuan in one month.
Nine taels of silver is still a small amount on the first day of business. In the future, if you work harder and pay more every day, you will earn more. Then your sons will go to school and take exams, and the daughter's dowry will not be a problem. I think
Thinking about Mrs. Liu, she was so happy that she couldn't remember the nobility of a scholar and the smell of copper all over her body.
After the three members of the Li family packed up their things, they went to say hello to the aunt who was kind enough to help them open their home.
Although the aunt was a little jealous, her family's business has improved a lot because of Li's steamed buns. Many passers-by stopped by his house to eat noodles when they saw that the soup dumplings were not sold; some were disgusted by squatting on the street to eat them.
Customers who don't like steamed buns will also order a bowl of noodles at her house. Although the noodles are not sold out, there are not many left, and they are much better than before.
Therefore, the aunt took the initiative to greet her and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, your soup dumplings are off to a good start. Those soup dumplings taste really good. Save a few for me tomorrow. Our cute one is eating them!"
"Hahaha, thank you for your support. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast when I left home this morning, so I asked my sister-in-law to bring us three bowls of meat noodle soup!" Li Sanzhi said modestly, cupping his fists, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
Yes. He heard about the fact that the proprietress of this noodle stall helped to open it, so he took the initiative to bring his wife and daughter to repay the favor.
"Sit inside, sit inside, the noodles will be ready soon." Seeing that she was not busy now, the aunt asked Yuezhen and the others to sit down and started chatting with them. "I must say that this girl of yours is really nice. She is so sweet at such a young age.
Oh, I think my sister-in-law is shy, but this is selling so well, thanks to your daughter’s clever mouth! This girl is so capable at such a young age, I really wish she was my daughter!”
"Don't praise me. This girl can't stand praise. She is always naughty and mischievous. She only opens her mouth to coax her father and brothers at home to love and pamper her. She is raised to be fearless.
Temperament. I am worried to death. You said she is not shy even for a daughter." Although Ms. Liu is proud of her daughter's ability and sensibleness, her daughter's reputation for being sharp-tongued is not good.
"You still dislike it, but I'm in a panic. I think girls from small families like us should be more nimble and aggressive. Those girls who don't leave the house for three steps and only hide at home to embroider and raise grass, we
A family like this can't afford to support her, and she will be easily bullied when she comes to her husband's family in the future." The aunt hugged Yuezhen and said enviously to Mrs. Liu. Her husband's surname is Huang, and she is known as Aunt Huang. She has a sharp and quick temper.
, this noodle stall was only able to survive thanks to her. She usually disliked those delicate and weak women. Yuezhen was right to her taste. If her two sons had not married wives, she would have
There is no doubt that Yue Zhen should be settled down and married back home.
Although Yue Zhen was not used to being affectionate by strangers, she could not say no to it, so she had to lean stiffly in Aunt Huang's arms. Fortunately, the noodles came not long after, and the three of them ate the noodles quickly and went to the meat stall to buy some.
I picked up the pig offal, bones and pork. On the way, Ms. Liu kept lamenting that she couldn’t bear it. She felt that Aunt Huang was too eloquent and enthusiastic. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
