Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 136 Fire
On the stone road, the moss marks are solidified.

The years of the sun and the moon don't seem to have left much here, and the people living here are still living their peaceful days.

Every five and ten is a set.

The season of harvesting rice is approaching again. This year, God seems to be giving me a lot of face. Seeing a bumper harvest is a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, among the crowd who went to the market, whether they came out to sell firewood, vegetables, or mountain products, or those who came out to buy baskets of grain and sickle, there was a little more joy on their faces.

Their life is very simple, as long as the weather is good, as long as there is enough food on the ground, they are already satisfied, if they have some extra money, it will be even more beautiful.

No, along the way, there is a place selling fruits beside the road. The grapes are purple-grey, the pears are ocher-yellow. Leave the plantains in circles, and only cut them when others buy them.

Along a sloping stone road, there are thatched sheds, where grain stores and baskets are sold.

The difference is that there is a newly built shed on the side. If someone looks up, he can see the tile back inside the shed. It is a variety of colors that have never been seen before, and it is glazed under the sun. of brilliance.

A strong fragrance came to the nostrils, occupying the nasal cavity for a long time.

At this time, Ban Xia stood at the door, watching the crowd coming and going, a sense of peace and happiness suddenly surged in her heart.

In the tile house, Su Youli and others are busy.

Not long after, Zhang Liu came out with a bunch of firecrackers, "It's open——"

The voice is thick.

The sound of crackling firecrackers attracted a group of people even more.

Pinellia was guarding a big wooden barrel, with a large pile of bowls on the side, and said to the people around with a smile, "Uncles and ladies, our snail noodle shop has opened today, please take care of us today. Come eat and send eggs and braised pork!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't eat it, everyone can try our jelly for free. It's cool in this hot weather."

The snail powder soup was boiled in the tile house, and the tangy aroma spread out.

Pinellia grows well and speaks cleverly, standing in front of the shed scooping jelly to treat guests.

"It's okay, it's okay, just sit in and have a rest." Money can only be made by kindness, not to mention that the hut at home is very large, except for the tables and chairs brought back from Uncle Zhuzi's house, there is still room left. Su Youli wove a few more out of bamboo strips There are tables lined up with bamboo slices nailed on them, so it is no problem to sit and eat.

I have never seen such a free gift.

A neat woman glanced at the contents of the pinellia barrel, and saw that the little girl was clean, "Then give me a bowl!"

Ban Xia responded, "Okay——"

The bowl is a large coarse porcelain bowl, and the jelly is made of pinellia jelly grass. It is a bit green and transparent, broken into pieces, added with brown sugar water, and splashed in the well. It is pleasing to look at when it is cool.

The woman took it, took a sip, smacked it once, her face was a little weird, and then Gululu finished drinking.

"It's the first time I've eaten this sour jelly."

"Auntie, there are berries added here, which makes it even more sour."

The number of people drinking jelly immediately increased, and they were a little bit embarrassed that they wanted to pay, but Banxia naturally refused, but she asked people to come in and sit, but there was really no one.The people in this place are honest and simple, they always feel that they have already taken advantage of others by drinking jelly, so they have the nerve to go in and take their place in business.

When it opened, it was not time for lunch, so there were not many people at the beginning.

Ban Xia is not in a hurry either.

Finally, a burly man squeezed in, "This smells good. After slaughtering a pig this morning, the chest is stuck to the back. Give me a bowl!"

The business just opened... Ban Xia laughed even more happily.

A large bowl of snail noodles, topped with red chili oil, then fried peanuts, fried capers and fungus, fried yuba, and a marinated egg on top.

Butcher Zhang’s eyes widened. You must know that when he was about to eat just now, he was still muttering in his heart. After all, a bowl of noodles sold for five yuan, and he was laughed at by others. The noodles outside are only two yuan a bowl. Fried noodles are a bit more expensive now, and he was also hungry, so he came in with the idea of ​​trying something new.He doesn't lack these few pennies, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

When I saw it at this time, I took two bites, my face changed, and I stood up while holding it.

Zhang Liu on the side was taken aback, thinking what he was going to do.

Su Youli cooked noodles in it, and he volunteered to help, and he wasn't afraid if anyone made trouble.

Seeing Butcher Zhang like this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, is it not to your liking?"

Butcher Zhang didn't even have time to answer him, and brought the noodles straight to the entrance of the shed, surrounded by many people eating jelly, and said in a thick and authentic voice, "Look, look! Have you ever seen such noodles? What is this, egg What the hell is this? Meat! Who the hell just said that I have been taken advantage of, no matter what happens at this rice noodle stall in the future, I, Zhang Butcher, will be the first to eat it! Grandma is a bear, let us take it first!"

After finishing speaking, Hula Ladi started eating there with a bowl in his hand.

A bowl of noodles is not much, not to mention Zhang Butcher's body.

Only then did Zhang Liu let out a sigh of relief.

Pinellia was distributing jelly, and couldn't help laughing at this, thinking to himself that it would be better to go to Butcher Zhang's house to buy meat in the future, what a live advertisement!
Sure enough, the effect of this advertisement was astonishing. By the time Butcher Zhang ate one bowl and yelled for the second bowl, many people had already sat in the shed.

Zhang Liu is a good eye-witness, "Today, the eggs and marinated meat are all given away. This is a small business, and now we are making a profit. In a few days, five cents will not be able to eat this!"

The snail noodles are originally spicy, but now the weather is hot, and the whole body is sweating after eating, dripping with joy.

At this time, someone discovered something novel.

"The rice noodles are still round! Could it be that they were not steamed?"

"Go, the steamed ones can only be eaten with stir-fried noodles! It's not suitable for this soup. The noodles are bouncy and comfortable to chew." Those who ate the noodles seem to have a say.

After sweating profusely, drink a bowl of sweet and cool jelly, and the whole person is even more comfortable, and there is no discomfort in the pores all over the body.

Gradually, it was almost noon, and there were no empty seats in the shed.

Some people even came and stood aside with bowls to eat.

Ban Xia was still distributing jelly, and occasionally raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Rang Rang, Rang Rang, here's free jelly, I'll have some too!" The voice was sharp, but it wasn't Zhou's or anyone else.

But she said that today she came out to sell bananas, and there were several banana trees in the courtyard of the Su family. Well, she always suffers, but it's better to come out and feel comfortable.

When she squeezed in, she happened to see Banxia holding a wooden spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other, staring at her with a half-smile.

For some reason, she felt a little guilty, which made her very uncomfortable.

Soon, Mrs. Zhou said out of nowhere, "Oh, it's pinellia! I didn't know it was a big business! Does the family sell rice noodles now? If you want to say this stall, it's still at home..."

Seeing Banxia ignoring her, Mrs. Zhou said to the people around her, "My mother-in-law also came out to do business in this place before."

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted crisply, "Fourth aunt, this is all separated, and only a little of the field was allocated to me. When this shed was given to us, there was nothing useful. I sold tofu before. Don't let us do it, if we don't think of a way, we can't starve to death, you can continue with this jelly—"

The family ugliness is not publicized, Banxia naturally knows, but she knows it is useless, Zhou can do it, she is naturally not afraid to say it, not to mention when selling tofu, many people also know.

"So it's the Su family looking east!"

"No, I heard that he was able to come back with great difficulty, but I didn't expect to be so thick-skinned."

"Fortunately, there is still a way here, otherwise, there will be no bones left. You see, if you say you don't make tofu, you really don't. I just saw that the boss looks familiar, and I haven't eaten their tofu for a long time. Yes, this is the best, and the rice noodles sold must be trustworthy."

As expected, people sympathize with the weak. Banxia really didn't expect that what she said would not only hit Zhou, but also achieve such an effect.

Su Youli and Li's have been selling tofu for so many years, and they know a lot of people. They are both honest and honest, so they have naturally accumulated a lot of word of mouth.

And Mrs. Li seemed to know that Mrs. Zhou was coming, so she squeezed out and saw this scene.

Zhou gritted his teeth with hatred, a bowl of rice noodles for five cents!He really dared to sell it!Feeling more and more that the three pennies she sneakily left just now is not worth mentioning at all, the smoke of joy dissipated like smoke, and a sour feeling rose up, which couldn't be stopped, but the people around were pointing at her. She was thick-skinned, and she only managed to finish drinking the jelly before fleeing away.

As soon as Mrs. Li came out like this, she happened to exchange a few words with those acquaintances, and turned back to get busy.

Looking at the people coming and going, Ban Xia's jelly can be considered finished.

This soup will not be able to cook in a while.

She expected that if she could sell [-] bowls on the first day, it would be the best.

I don't know, the soup has bottomed out before half an hour.

Rice noodles are also almost used.

There were even those who came late, and it was a pity to see this, "There is no rice noodles here, and the stalls closed so early!"

Su Youli came out and said a few words amusedly, and finally invited the person away.

Qiu and his new sister-in-law cleaned up and washed the dishes in the back, and only raised their heads when they were done, "This is sold out!"

But it's sold out.

Su Youli knew how to sell fans, he only looked at the bowls left on the side, and estimated, "There are two hundred and seven bowls in total. There is still a little left, let's eat a bowl by ourselves, and go home to have a good time at night." Have a meal!"

Two hundred and seven bowls means that this is more than one tael of silver!Even if there is an egg on a bowl, it is a big expense, about 300 Wen, and then the soup, rice noodles are also made by ourselves, and the rest is not much cost. After digging through these, it costs a few hundred Wen, and it is still in hand. of.

first day!Good profit!
A group of people are naturally happy, and after the place is tidied up, they will act separately. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qiu's new sister-in-law went to buy some floral cloths, snacks and the like.

Su Youli went with Zhang Liu and Su Youzhang to buy bones and eggs that he needed tomorrow. Interestingly, when Butcher Zhang saw that it was him, he almost sold the big bones and gave them away.

When you get home and get ready for a good meal.

The door of the room, which was rarely opened, was slapped loudly, "Third brother, mother fell! I need to call a doctor!"
