Nongmen shrew: Farming with cubs is spoiled by rough men

Chapter 183 Instigation
Qin Ping'an clasped Mrs. Jin Qin's arm firmly, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, let's go."

Mrs. Qin wanted to say something else, but Qin Pingan dragged her to go outside.

Liniang stood at the door, watching the two of them walking towards the gate of the city, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were equally calm.

Until those two people could no longer be seen, she slumped on the chair by the door as if she had collapsed.

At the end, she smiled softly, but her eyes gradually turned red when she smiled.

She looked up at the sky, finally wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then stood up, rearranging the goods in the grocery store.

……

Li Mancang was still mocking Qin Zhiyi's restaurant for its lack of doors, but on August [-]th, the number of people coming and going in and out of their restaurant can really be counted with ten fingers.

He had no choice but to comfort himself, because today was a holiday, so everyone had a reunion dinner at home.

But on August [-]th, there were still very few people coming in to eat.

Li Mancang strolled in the alley with nothing to do, and saw that Qin Zhiyi's restaurant had returned to its usual bustle.

Many people chatting on the road, most of them are complaining about their free meal two days before Fumanlou.

To sum up two points, one is to say that their dishes are unpalatable, and the other is to complain about his stinginess, saying that his dishes are small in quantity, poor in taste and have no meat.

Li Mancang was almost pissed off.

Let them eat it, let them take it, and in the end, all the good things are taken away, and they say that he is not good.

The young man who followed immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat him up.

Li Mancang glared at him viciously: "You bastard, why don't you hurry up and restrain yourself? I'm afraid people don't know that we are from Fumanlou?"

The boy gritted his teeth and said, "But I can't stand it. These people ate our food, took our food, and even spoke ill of us behind our backs."

Li Mancang glanced at him and said: "Idiot, some things can't be done in person, but it doesn't mean you can't do them behind the scenes. You should use your brains."

When the boy heard the words, he immediately understood.

Li Mancang stood still in front of Chengyi Restaurant.

Then I saw that the signature dishes at the entrance of Chengyi Restaurant were stir-fried loach and eel, and my brows tightened at this time.

"Have you tried these two dishes?"

In fact, he had eaten it before. As soon as the signature dish of Chengyi Restaurant came out, many people wanted to try it, so he also tried it.

Stir-fried loach and rice field eel, the meat is fresh and tender, the taste is pure, there is a big plate, he is not enough to eat.

But of course he didn't dare to say this, and immediately denied it: "Of course I haven't eaten it. How can the food in other restaurants compare to our Fumanlou."

Li Mancang snorted again, took out a few copper plates from his pocket and put them in his hand: "Here, just these copper plates, take them and burn a plate for you at this price."

The boy looked at the seven or eight copper coins in his hand, a little confused: "Boss, these few copper coins can only buy half a plate..."

"Half plate is half plate, you just ask him for half plate, hurry up."

As Li Mancang said, he kicked the boy's buttocks. Xiaosi rubbed the place he kicked, and reluctantly walked in with the copper plate.

And this scene happened to be seen by Qin Zhiyi.

Li Mancang is also smart, after telling the boy to go shopping, he immediately turned around and pretended to be picking things at the grocery store opposite.

After the boy went in, he puffed up his chest and looked at the people around him.

Sincerity restaurant was full of guests, he took a long time to find a place, and was about to go in, when the waiter had already ushered him in: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"Bring me half a plate of fried rice eels."

Hearing the words, the man was also taken aback for a moment: "Half a plate?"

"Yes, half a plate, why, you are not doing business with the door open?"

The waiter looked puzzled: "Guest officer, it's not that we don't do business with the door open, but that we haven't sold half a plate. You see, everyone who comes here will order a plate. My family's dry-stir-fried eel is full of portions and delicious. , if you feel that you can’t eat it all with one plate, you can pack it and take it back to your family to eat.”

The boy didn't know what to do, but thinking that his boss was still waiting outside, he immediately called out: "Why? Are you looking down on people? I said I ordered half a plate, but I want half a plate, so burn it for me."

Qin Zhi saw this situation, and was about to go forward, but saw one of the guests slapping the table and saying: "If you don't have enough money, don't eat their dry-stir-fried eels. , Others can’t eat enough to eat, and you are still yelling here. Come on, do you want to eat? I will reward you a few, sir.”

The shop waiter next to him immediately understood, and quickly found a small plate. The customer sitting next to him took a few pieces of dry-stir-fried rice eel with his chopsticks, waved his hand and said, "Go. Take it for him, let him taste it."

The shop waiter smiled and said, "Thank you, guest officer."

When the boy saw the guest, he knew that he could not afford to offend Mr. Huang, so he immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."

To be honest, it's a bit humiliating for a patient to give something, but the rice field eel was fried until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, just looking at it made people drool.

He couldn't help pinching a piece of it with his hands and putting it in his mouth, biting it down, the flesh and bones were separated, crisp and refreshing.

Seeing that the waiter was not here, he looked around and sneaked out with a small plate.

It wasn't until he slipped in front of Li Mancang that he lowered his voice and said, "I didn't buy anything, but someone gave this to me. My boss, why don't you try it?"

Li Mancang felt humiliated, but after thinking about it, didn't this save money?

So he spread out his hands and said, "Where's the money?"

The boy was a bit reluctant, but still respectfully put the few copper coins into his hand.

Li Mancang put the copper plate back into his arms contentedly, then squeezed a piece of dry-stir-fried eel into his mouth.

With just one bite, he was stunned.

How could this Qin Zhiyi make such delicious food?

He has also eaten eels, but most of them are fried, braised, or even steamed and stewed.

But I never thought about deep-frying. Looking carefully, those eel segments are covered with a layer of transparent film. I don’t know what those are, which adds to the crispy shell of the eel.

Most importantly, the salt is moderate and the crispiness is just right.

The numbing and spicy feeling fills the mouth, making people want to eat it again.

After eating a few paragraphs, the aftertaste is endless.

Li Mancang looked at Chengyi Restaurant, then stroked his beard and said, "This woman is not simple."

After speaking, he looked at Li Niang behind him.

Liniang was still sorting out the groceries, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Liniang, where's your shopkeeper Qin?"

Hearing this, Liniang slightly paused her hands arranging things, and then said: "My husband has returned to the countryside, and something happened at home."

He had heard of this before, it was said that an old lady came to the grocery store yesterday and made a fuss at the door, she seemed to be the mother of shopkeeper Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin once again sighed with emotion: "It's a pity, seeing that your words and deeds don't look like an ordinary woman, but you are married to such an ordinary man. If you are willing, you can definitely achieve great things."
