Li Biao and Shi Lei rushed into the food court, like mice entering a rice vat, with golden eyes and saliva flowing.
"My mother, this really fits the name of the food street. It is really a food street!"
"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and get something to eat!"
Just when Li Biao was about to sigh, Shi Lei looked like he couldn't stand him and walked in first.
"Hey, your grandson said to your grandpa again, I want to be the first to eat this delicacy, and none of you can try to steal it from me!"
Bobo chicken with crispy skin and tender meat, spicy and fragrant chicken, soup dumplings with thin skin and thick meat, fragrant fried chestnuts, duck blood vermicelli soup, spicy hotpot.
BBQ, milk tea, fruit stew, stinky tofu, wontons, cross-bridge rice noodles, ice powder, herbal tea, fried chicken, cold skin, roujiamo plus snack cakes made by Shen Yingxue, the whole street is dazzling to see and eat. It makes people's mouth full of oil.
Li Biao walked with grilled skewers in one hand and milk tea in the other. The cup the milk tea was served in was made of bamboo, and take-out was allowed in the shop.
There is a large bucket at the entrance of the food court specifically for recycling. Pedestrians can just put their cups in the bucket before leaving. If they have not finished drinking or want to take it away, they have to pay a penny. In Jiang Miao's words, this is the packing fee.
Every shop on the street is doing a good job, and the freshly baked cream cakes in the pastry shop exude a sweet smell.
The common people had never seen it, and they heard that this shop was opened by Master Shen’s sister. They all thought that Shen Yingxue’s craftsmanship was taught by Jiang Miao herself. This snack must be delicious. Everyone lined up outside the shop. 's team.
Li Biao was already half full and had eaten a lot of spicy food. Now he also wanted to eat some sweet pastries, so he stood in line behind others.
Although Shen Yingxue has been running a dim sum shop for several months, she is considered experienced. However, the prices of the dim sum sold in Furong Town are relatively high, and her customers are mainly rich ladies and young ladies.
It's different now, because Jiang Miao takes the affordable route and strives to make it affordable for everyone. A small cake that costs 50 cents a piece in Furong Town only sells for 10 cents here.
Although it was not cheap, the common people could still afford it, especially since these cream cakes were fresh and the common people wanted to try them, so the business of the pastry shop was extremely booming, and she was almost overwhelmed.
"Ms. Shen, this plate is newly baked, and there are two plates of egg tarts behind it..."
Mrs. Su came in from the backyard, holding a plate of matcha mousse in her hand. She hadn't stopped yet, she had been making snacks, and her face was so hot that she was sweating.
But Madam Su was happy. When she came to Zhenjiang Mansion, Shen Yingxue and Jiang Miao both taught her how to make more snacks and treated her as one of their own. Seeing that the guests liked what she made, there was nothing more exciting for Madam Su than these. I feel happy now.
"good!"
Shen Yingxue quickly took it. Fortunately, Madam Su helped her, otherwise she would not have been able to make so many snacks because she was too exhausted. Not only Madam Su was busy, but Lin Zi was also brought in to help collect the money and pack it.
Despite Lin Zi's young age, he had read books and knew Chinese characters. He could count clearly and logically. He collected money all morning without making a single mistake.
The guests looked at it and were amazed. They looked at other people's children and then looked at their own. Why did their palms feel itchy?
"Mother-in-law, your cake costs thirty yuan in total."
Lin Zi handed the packaged cake to the old woman in front of him. The old woman looked at him with a strange look.
"Oh, this child is so good, smart and capable. Has he read a book?"
"As for my mother-in-law, I have been studying for half a year, and now I can memorize the Three Character Classic and the Analects of Confucius."
Lin Zi didn't show any timidity when he was suddenly asked. He puffed up his chest and replied. He knew that children around his age had never read books. Lin Zi was still very proud of his ability to read and count.
"That's awesome, why didn't you continue reading?"
The more the mother-in-law looked at him, the more she liked him. Lin Zi was younger than her grandson, but compared to her little grandson who had been pampered and grown up, Lin Zi was much more obedient and sensible.
"My mother said that she wants to make money. In the future, the county magistrate will open an academy and let me continue to study..."
Lin Zi clasped his fingers, he was still very disappointed that he couldn't study, but his mother said that the county magistrate is the number one scholar, so he must attach great importance to education. In the future, academies will open, and he will definitely have books to study.
Lin Zi regained his energy. Now that he is helping his mother to work hard, he will have money to study in the future.
Li Biao listened from behind and saw Lin Zi's disappointed eyes. Li Biao felt that the skewers in his hands were no longer fragrant.
"Uncle, you are here too. What snacks do you want to have? Our cream cakes, matcha mousse and egg tarts are all very good!"
Lin Zi saw off the old lady and saw Li Biao when he looked up. He liked this strong uncle very much and enthusiastically recommended him the snacks in the shop.
Shen Yingxue also lives in the county government now. Although she has not met Li Biao very often, she knows that Li Biao is Shen Yanqing's more trustworthy subordinate. She had eaten at Shen's house before and seeing that Lin Zi gets along so well with him, Shen Yingxue
There was some doubt on his face.
Li Biao saw her doubts and scratched his head with a smile.
"I was making an oven for you, and Lin Zi came to help me."
"Yes, I poured water for uncle!"
Lin Zi didn't understand what the adults were thinking. He felt even happier when he heard Li Biao praise him.
This kid was as big as a brat, and he was lovable in everything he said and did. Li Biao rubbed his head.
"I want all the snacks you mentioned!"
"Okay, uncle, please wait a moment."
Lin Zi happily went to pack things for Li Biao. The little man did the work more quickly than the adults. Shen Yingxue received other guests, and she was obviously used to Lin Zi being the sole one.
Li Biao, a rough guy, felt sad. He didn't know how Mrs. Su was willing to let Lin Zi work. Such a smart and clever child should be sent to an academy to study and learn literacy.
"Uncle gives you a total of fifty coins..."
Lin Zi handed the packed snacks to Li Biao. He looked around at the guests next to him, hooked his hand and asked Li Biao to lean down. Li Biao didn't know what he was going to do, but he squatted down obediently.
"Uncle, the cake I gave you has a lot of cream. It's very fragrant and sweet. It has more cream than others."
The child's soft voice rang in his ears. Li Biao's ears were numb and his heart softened. This child was so good, it was a pity to delay him like this.
Although Li Biao himself was a poor man, he envied and respected scholars. Lin Zi had no connection with him, but Li Biao just disliked him, especially his admiring eyes, which made Li Biao feel a sense of responsibility from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you want to study?"
Lin Zi didn't expect that Li Biao would suddenly ask, "Reading," of course he thought. Lin Zi nodded vigorously.
"think!"
"good."
Li Biao patted him on the shoulder and responded. Lin Zi gave him a cake with lots of cream. In return, he tried to find a way to get him to study.
