Most of the men in northern Mongolia are tall and strong, the people in the Western Regions have deep faces and look particularly tough, and the people of Yue State in the northwest are also mostly strong and tough due to geographical reasons.
Zhang Sanzhuang may have traded his height for intelligence. He is the smallest one in the Zhang family. When he squeezed into the crowd three layers deep, he was lost in an instant and could not squeeze through others at all.
When someone grabbed his collar and tried to throw him backward, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'm the butcher's spicy skewers guy! Let me in! I'll go in and cook spicy skewers for the customers!"
When he finally understood what was going on and squeezed into the tent, he was so surprised that his forehead was covered in sweat in such a cold day.
The few people busy in the tent were sweating more than him.
The rectangular stall with three sides where people could sit around was already full of people.
Zhang Erzhuang was directed by the customers to keep taking out the spicy skewers. Behind him, Donkey Egg squatted down and stood up again, taking out the ingredients and putting them into the iron trough to cook.
The younger Goudan was standing by nervously guarding the shelf and copper basin containing the scented soap and soap, fearing that someone would steal them.
But no one cared about these two things today. If it weren't for Uncle Geng, whom the Qiao family bought from the human traffickers, to help count the ingots and collect the money, the people in the tent would have been in a real dilemma.
Zhang Sanzhuang hurried forward, his eyes a little confused.
He had never managed a stall before. Although the spicy skewers were delicious, why would he be so supportive?
In fact, the crowds don’t all come here for the food. After all, some people don’t eat pork, or are reluctant to spend money, but they can’t help but come over to smell the food and enjoy the flavor, right?
As soon as the guests walked in, they were greeted by the spicy aroma and their mouths immediately began to water. Some of them couldn't wait to order the spicy skewers, picked up the skewers and put them into their mouths with the boiling spicy soup.
As soon as I bit into the meatballs soaked in spicy bone broth, the spicy flavor of dogwood and the numbness of Sichuan pepper exploded in my mouth. I squinted my eyes and swallowed them in three or two mouthfuls.
"hiss--"
"ha--"
Most of the customers gathered around had the same expression, panting and eating non-stop with their eyes wide open. They would start wiping their sweat while eating, and then continue eating after wiping it off.
The noodles are more delicious when eaten in a slurp, and the spicy skewers are more delicious when eaten with a sizzling slurp. After eating and drinking to your heart's content, have a bowl of smooth, sweet and sour yogurt to remove the greasiness, and you will hear endless sighs of satisfaction.
Those who were just there to join in the fun, when they saw how delicious the food was, couldn't help but start paying out their copper coins to buy some, and joined the crowd of people who were eating.
The people squeezed into the tent hissed and laughed as if they had some serious illness, which attracted more people to come over to take a look.
No matter whether you eat spicy skewers or not, it won’t cost you a thing, and it’s still warm if you squeeze in during the winter.
Their stall is right next to the entrance of Washifang, and there are many people coming in and out. This is a newly set up tent, and there are so many people. Curiosity attracts more people to come in and smell the aroma.
It became even more crowded as time went by.
It can be seen that no matter what era, it is human nature to join in the fun at all costs.
Originally, Goudan wanted to ask the guests to wash their hands and handkerchiefs with slippery fragrant soap and orange transparent soap, but unfortunately the tent was full of tall and strong guests, and the fearless Goudan felt a little scared.
He was so scared that he took the copper basin and the rack to the back and helped behind Donkey Egg, not daring to say a word.
Zhang Erzhuang and Uncle Geng didn't dare to look up at all. Their hearts were about to jump out of their chests from seeing so many fiery eyes staring at them.
Only Zhang Sanzhuang, who had been in the restaurant for several years, could handle the situation with a brave face. He quickly put on the apron and felt hat that Miao Wan had given him, and started shouting -
"Dear guests, please don't push, don't push towards the front of the stall, be careful of getting burned."
"Yogurt is only three cents a bowl, sour and sweet, and it helps to relieve both spiciness and greasiness. Barley tea is only one cent a cup!"
"Sir, you ordered fifteen meat skewers, twelve vegetarian skewers, and a bowl of sour milk? Thank you for your patronage. The total is forty-five cents."
"You want to take out fifty meat skewers and thirty vegetarian skewers? The price is one hundred and thirty cents. Are there any dietary restrictions?"
"Mutton meatballs? I'm really sorry, we didn't buy any lamb. I'll definitely add some lamb later. You can have vegetarian skewers."
Zhang Sanzhuang was counting the money with his voice about to break, but he couldn't count it all, so he had to pull Uncle Geng to his side to count the copper coins.
"This customer wants a hundred skewers of meat delivered to the roast goose shop next door? I'm really sorry, but we don't have many people out today. How about tomorrow? I will definitely deliver it to you tomorrow."
"Uncle, if you want soup, we don't have any bowls here. If you have a bowl, I can give you some more spicy soup. If you can't finish it, you can heat it up later."
Just as Zhang Sanzhuang was wiping the sweat from his forehead and shouting in a hoarse voice, someone tugged at the corner of his clothes. Seeing that he didn't react, someone tugged it again.
He looked back and saw Donkey Egg leaning close to him and whispering something, looking very embarrassed.
Zhang Sanzhuang was too busy to listen to what he said in the noisy crowd. "Donkey Egg, if you want to go out to pee, switch with Dog Egg. Be careful when you go out so that no one steps on you."
Donkey Egg puffed out his cheeks and saw Uncle San turned around and pulled him again.
Zhang Sanzhuang felt a little headache. "The guests are still here. Be good and I'll ask Auntie to give you a reward later."
Donkey Egg was anxious and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle San, please stop selling. We are out of ingredients!!"
The tent suddenly became quiet, and then the customers sitting in front of the stall immediately continued to order skewers that were still cooking in the iron trough.
Customers in the queue shouted in dissatisfaction, "What's going on? It's only mid-afternoon, and didn't you set up your stall at noon? Why don't you prepare more ingredients for your business?"
Zhang Sanzhuang: "..." To be honest, we prepared half a pig's meat and a whole pig's offal, as well as one-fifth of the vegetables in the Zhang family's cellar. That's enough food for a family of sixteen for a whole winter.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell all the goods, so he thought of offering a buy-ten-get-one-free deal like he did with the braised goods. However, the customers didn't give him any time to sell the goods.
He quickly smiled and bowed, "This is our first day of business, so we didn't dare to prepare too much food. We have to let our guests eat fresh food, right? We will definitely prepare more food tomorrow."
Once the spicy skewers and even the oden in the iron trough are sold out, even if the customers are dissatisfied, they can only leave with a sniffle.
After working for more than an hour, both adults and children wanted to sit down on the ground.
They weren't too tired physically, but they had never dealt with so many people at once. It was too scary and their legs felt weak.
Zhang Erzhuang covered his heart and his heart was beating unevenly for a long time. There were not so many guests when he got married.
After resting for a while, Zhang Sanzhuang went out and gave some copper coins to the clerks guarding the gate of the neighborhood, asking them to help look after the tent. After they packed up the stall, they went home.
The Zhang family had just finished lunch and washed the dishes. Mrs. Zhang was making underwear for her unborn grandson or granddaughter. When she heard the noise, her heart immediately rose.
"What's going on? You're back so early. Is someone causing trouble for you?"
Zhang Erzhuang was now in high spirits, chuckling, "The customer scolded us, saying we didn't prepare enough ingredients and sold out in a short time."
What? Yu and Yang, who had followed, were stunned.
The ingredients were prepared by the two of them and their children, several thousand skewers. Are there so many people in Wa City?
Zhang Sanzhuang narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's mainly because I went to the restaurant today to show my filial piety to my father-in-law. The customers in the restaurant smelled the food and came to patronize us. Those who can afford to go to the restaurant are not short of money. They eat dozens of skewers for themselves, and some take hundreds of skewers to go. The coarse porcelain bowls we brought are not enough. We have to buy some more later."
Coarse porcelain bowls are not expensive, the cheap ones are just a few cents each, and those that can be taken away cost at least dozens of copper coins. It is not a loss even if you don't return the bowl.
Zhang Sanzhuang sighed sincerely, "It is true that filial piety brings good fortune. From now on, I will go to my father-in-law every day to show my filial piety."
Madam Zhang: “…” Please be more respectful.
Zhang Sanzhuang sighed and patted his head. "I asked Uncle Geng to take the money box back to Qiao's house. Am, come with me to help Awan count the money. Don't tire her out."
After returning from the Qiao family that day, Butcher Zhang decided that the Qiao family would keep the money, and the Zhang family would share the money from the Qiao family in the future.
It just so happened that Qiao Ruichen was about to return to the military camp, and his family had all the elderly, weak and sick people together, so he had to buy someone to take care of them.
Qiao Shengwen decided to buy a family of three, and the Qiao family members went with them to the stall.
Mrs. Zhang thought it was a good idea, as it would prevent her family from always thinking that this was their own business and that the Qiao family was helping the Zhang family, and they would have a wrong mentality.
Mrs. Zhang liked counting money, so she picked up her sewing basket and went to the Qiao family with a happy smile. She passed by her eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law who came out with her belly in hand to show concern for her husband. Seeing that all three of them were honest, she felt much more satisfied.
Okay, although the Zhang family’s husband is not very strong, his sons can still educate their wives.
She and the old man have made it clear to their three sons that they should either stop taking advantage of the Qiao family to make money, or if they want to make money, they should honestly put away those inappropriate thoughts.
Stop bothering with all those aunts and uncles, otherwise just separate and get out and live on your own.
The Qiao family in front only has three people, mother and daughter, and it seems that they can't survive without the Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang was afraid that if she and the old man were to put too much pressure on the family, it would backfire and cause unrest in the family. She also wanted to see if her son would become rich when he grew up, so that she would know whether to prune the pets or kick them out.
Madam Zhang didn't dare to say that she was completely on the side of the Qiao family, but the old couple had already engraved the virtue of accumulating merit into their bones, and even the old butcher was superstitious about this.
She had already discussed with the old man that after the money for the Qiao family's repairs and the twenty taels of silver that was borrowed were deducted, they would split the money 40% to 60% in the future.
I didn't expect that the master of the Qiao family would come back so soon, and such a shameful thing happened in the family. That's perfect, just reverse the distribution, so that everyone in the family can wake up.
The Zhang family is the one who is taking advantage. If anyone still holds on to the past and bullies Miao Wan for being easy to talk to, Master Qiao will be able to sneer at them with a smile, without the need for the old couple.
At the same time, on the Qiao family's side.
Miao Wan looked at the money box full of copper coins that Uncle Geng brought back, and thought about the fact that her family could now get 60%. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at her father-in-law. The happiness of people who make money is so simple.
I didn’t follow stars before, but now I will be a fan of Joe’s for life!
The author has something to say:
Zhang Sanzhuang: From now on, I must be filial to my father-in-law and repay my boss well. Three times a day is not a big deal.
Boss Yu: Are you in charge of personnel?
The heroine is not the type who is awesome, she will grow up slowly, she is not weak, it’s just that there is always a gap between traveling through time from later generations and the indigenous old fox, this is the logic of wolfberry.
If Mr. Qiao were in the future, he would be a former vice minister of the Ministry of Finance. He would teach the heroine to become more and more powerful, and the hero would provide the heroine with a broader space to display her abilities. The family would complement each other and become a real family.
