After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law, I'll pay for you first. You can pay me back when you earn the money!"
Lin Xue didn't mind. She helped Zhang and his wife set up their stall, while she moved a stool to the table.
"Second sister-in-law, please make me a bowl of cold noodles and add extra cucumber strips and chili!"
Lin Xue casually sat down at the table. Since she was going to sell new food, how could she sell it without letting the customers see it?
It plans to first show passersby what cold noodles and liangpi (cold skin noodles) look like. As long as the food is attractive enough, customers will naturally come to the stall to try it.
It's hot now, and most of the wealthy people in town have lost their appetite because of the sweltering heat.
Lin Xue's cold noodles are smooth and chewy, making them a perfect treat for cooling off in the summer.
"Alright, third sister-in-law, just wait, it'll be ready soon!"
Although Zhang didn't understand Lin Xue's intentions, she knew she had to prepare it immediately since her third sister-in-law wanted to eat it.
Huang Degui placed the wooden bucket he had brought to hold the bowls next to Zhang's, then took two more buckets to the nearby well and brought back two buckets of water.
If there aren't enough bowls for the guests later, he can wash them promptly.
"Third sister-in-law, your cold noodles and cold rice noodles are ready!"
Soon, Zhang brought a bowl of beautifully presented cold noodles to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, mixed the cold noodles again, and then picked up a mouthful and put it in her mouth.
"Mmm, refreshing and delicious!"
Lin Xue took a bite of cold noodles and immediately looked like she was enjoying it, which made several passersby suddenly stop in their tracks.
"Boss, what kind of noodles are you selling? They look different from the ones in noodle shops."
Perhaps because Lin Xue was eating so heartily, guests soon arrived.
With a shout from the man, the curious passersby all perked up their ears.
"Sir, what we sell at this stall are cold skin noodles and cold noodles. But our cold skin noodles and cold noodles are different from regular noodles; they're served cold!"
"In the hot summer, eating hot food can easily make you sweat and affect your appetite. But our cold noodles are different. After eating them, you won't feel hot; instead, you'll feel a refreshing coolness!"
Seeing that her second brother and sister-in-law were a bit reserved, Lin Xue had no choice but to step in and explain herself.
"How much do you sell your cold noodles and liangpi (cold skin noodles) for?"
The man had been feeling too hot to eat these past few days, but seeing the bowl of cold noodles in front of Lin Xue suddenly gave him an appetite.
"You can buy our cold noodles and cold rice noodles separately, or you can mix them together!"
"A single bowl of cold noodles costs three coins, a single bowl of cold skin noodles costs five coins, and a bowl of cold noodles and cold skin noodles mixed together costs four coins!"
"Look at this serving of cold noodles, it not only has cold noodles and cold rice noodles, but also peanuts, cucumber strips, carrot strips, gluten, sesame seeds, and we've also added sugar and sesame oil!"
As Lin Xue spoke, she picked up the cold noodles in the bowl in front of her so that everyone could see them clearly.
"I see this bowl is quite full. The price of this cold skin noodles is two coins more expensive than cold noodles. Is it because the cold skin noodles are more troublesome to make?"
As the burly man spoke, he walked over and sat down opposite Lin Xue.
"Of course! Our liangpi (cold skin noodles) isn't just made by rolling out dough thinly and boiling it; its production process is quite complex! Look how chewy and elastic our liangpi is; it won't break easily!"
Lin Xue picked up a piece of cold skin noodles and shook it in her hand. The noodles wobbled twice without showing any signs of breaking.
"That's really true!"
"Boss, give me a bowl of your cold noodles and liangpi (cold skin noodles) first. I want to try it and see if it's as delicious as you say!"
With the strong man leading the way, those who had extra money in their pockets all came over to buy a bowl and try it.
It was early morning market time, and some stewards in charge of purchasing for the shops and servants from the mansions had time to browse the market.
Most of the first customers to try it were this type of person.
Lin Xue noticed that there were more and more customers buying cold noodles and cold rice noodles, so she took her bowl and gave up her table.
As long as there are people eating, more customers will be attracted, and she won't have to sit there and serve customers anymore.
Lin Xue finished the cold noodles in her bowl in a few bites, and then poured the remaining broth into a bucket of muddy water.
The bowl was then washed clean in the bucket of water that Huang Degui had brought, and then rinsed in another bucket before being put back into the bucket containing the dishes.
"Second brother, the water for washing dishes must be changed frequently, otherwise the guests will find it dirty!"
After finishing these tasks, Lin Xue went to Huang Degui, who was assisting Zhang, and talked to him about the cleaning issues.
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, I understand!"
Huang Degui now has complete faith in his third sister-in-law.
He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lin Xue, his son would never have had the opportunity to go to school, and he and his wife would not have been able to set up a food stall.
"Boss, please add extra cucumber shreds to this order. I feel that shredded cucumber mixed into this cold noodle dish tastes much better than usual!"
As the two were talking, a customer who had finished his cold noodles and was planning to pack some to take home spoke to Huang Degui and his wife.
"That's right. The side dishes in our cold noodles and cold rice noodles are all decided after repeated research. They must be able to improve the taste of the cold noodles and cold rice noodles to be retained!"
While clearing away the leftover dishes and chopsticks from the table, Huang Degui spoke to the customer who had asked for extra cucumber shreds.
