Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 59 Selling jelly ([-])
In ancient times, women did not have any family status. Even if they spent a penny, they needed the consent of men. Underage children in the family were not qualified to spend money. What's more, in disaster years, when food prices are so high, who can afford it? Don’t want to use the next two dollars on the right road?
Liang Shuyan made up her mind, stood up, and clapped her hands: "Dashan, Erniu, please clean up. Let's try another place?"

Mrs. Zhang took off her apron and looked at her mother-in-law with a puzzled look on her face: "Mom, where are we going?"

"Look, where we are now is the east gate. The people coming and going are people from several villages. And the south gate just leads to the capital city. The people passing by are either officials or doing business. Let’s go there to try our luck! Besides, it’s also close to the dock, so there should be a lot of rich men there.”

Along the way, the four people, mother and son, pulled the cart and came to the south gate with a clanking sound.

Sure enough, the atmosphere at the south gate was lively, with pedestrians coming and going constantly. There were waves of men carrying big bags on the pier. What was surprising was that in the open space next to it, a group of people were building a wall here. It seemed like a In the large training ground, the sun was scorching on the men's black backs, and beads of sweat were falling down drop by drop.

Liang Shuyan chose a big tree far away, set up a stall with a few children, and started shouting. Mrs. Zhang put on her apron and saw that there were noodles and steamed buns selling opposite, and all the people sitting at the door were Men, she said in surprise: "Mom, what you said is absolutely correct. Men eat here. Look, all the people sitting on that bench are men."

Erniu glanced at the stall and said, "No matter how bad this is, we still need a table and a stool. Why don't I go to the front and ask around to see if there is a cheaper set of tables and chairs to rent? Let's make do with them first." .”

Liang Shuyan nodded: "Okay, this is 20 cents. Take it and rent it. By the way, see where there is water and bring some for us. Dashan, you go with Erniu!"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't take any time off, so she imitated her mother-in-law and started shouting: "Delicious and beautiful jelly and colorful steamed buns are here. You can try them for free. A bowl costs five cents!"

Zhang's thin voice immediately attracted the attention of the two men.

A stout man glanced at Zhang and Liang Shuyan: "What are you talking about? There are also green ones, can they be eaten?"

Liang Shuyan saw a customer coming over and quickly followed her: "You two, this is jelly. Eat a bowl of it on this hot day and it will cool your heart. Free trial. The quantity is limited. If you are late, it will be gone! "

The man took a look and saw that there were several bowls on the cart, all covered with thin green and white strips. A layer of red chili oil was poured on them and sprinkled with coriander. It looked a little tolerable. Can't help but want to eat.

The man picked up the bowl, licked it with his tongue first, then picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Before he could feel the taste, a strip of jelly fell down his throat and into his stomach. As expected, it felt cold to the core. Feel.

Then he directly picked up the bowl, took a sip of the ingredients at the bottom of the bowl, smashed it twice, and said: "Well, not bad, delicious, it's really cool, damn, what's in the water tank?" Water can drink a person to death, but it’s still not hot enough, but this thing like yours will cool down your whole body after just one sip, it’s a good thing.”

The man's eyes glanced at the little steamed buns in front of him again, and his eyes widened in surprise: "What else do you have here besides jelly?"

"It's just the steamed buns. Our steamed buns are also carefully made by hand. Because of the complicated process, the price is a little higher than other steamed buns, but our steamed buns are unique, soft and beautiful."

"Then give me a bowl of jelly and two small steamed buns!"

Liang Shuyan then quickly handed the bowl of jelly to the man. Mrs. Zhang also quickly opened the drawer, took out two small steamed buns and brought them over. "I'm really sorry, because there is no table here yet, so I have to stand up and use it. However, when we come here, you are our first customer, so I will give you two small steamed buns to try. Try it, and if it tastes good, help us promote it."

The man smiled honestly: "It's okay. I'll be building a wall in the military camp opposite. If your food is delicious, you don't need me to promote it. It will be gone in a while."

The first bowl of jelly was sold, and the man praised it with great satisfaction: "Your steamed buns are so delicious, not to mention soft and sweet. The main thing is that the steamed buns are also carved. This is the first time I have seen them!"

Soon, Dashan and Erniu came over. Erniu was carrying a table and a bench in his hand. Dashan was carrying a bucket of water on his shoulders and walked towards them with a smile.

"Mom, we have tables, chairs and benches. The shopkeeper said that he can rent these two tables and chairs to us for 5 cents a day, which is very cheap."

As Erniu said that, he arranged the tables and chairs. Zhang, being a discerning person, stepped forward and quickly wiped the tabletop and stools.

Dashan said with a smile: "Mom, was this man just now our first guest?"

Liang Shuyan hesitated for a moment and then told Dashan: "Yes, that's right. Dashan, find a way to find a wooden board and use our jelly and steamed buns to make a more eye-catching sign and stand it in a conspicuous place."

Thinking of the first business in the morning, the woman left because there were no disposable dishes and chopsticks. Liang Shuyan took advantage of the break to buy disposable lunch boxes and chopsticks from the system. These lunch boxes had no logo or name. , even in ancient times, it passed casually.

Soon, another group of people came to the stall. This time, two men came out of a carriage. One was wearing a purple robe, a jade pendant around his waist, and holding a fan in his hand. He was the young master of a wealthy family, and the man following behind him bent down and nodded, looking like a slave.

"Excuse me, what are you buying to eat? One bowl! No, two bowls!"

A man in noble clothes came over, and another man stood up in a hurry, wiped the stool quickly, and said, "Please sit down, how about you try this woman's food first?"

Seeing that the man still didn't speak, Liang Shuyan stood in front of the stall and observed every move of the two men.

The man took a bite and immediately shouted: "What kind of food is this? It's so refreshing and delicious. Give it to me, I'll have another bowl!"

The man who was waiting next to him also took a bite and said in surprise: "Master, such a delicious thing, even the chef in the house can't make it?"
