"My family told me to take the train back directly. Someone will meet you at the station. You'll know when you see them! And be sure to stay safe!
I'll buy you a ticket later, and then buy you some food to take with you. Be careful on your way and remember to come back for hot pot. I'll treat you next time!"
After saying this, the shopkeeper was about to arrange for someone to buy tickets, but was stopped by Jiang Cha.
"You don't need to send anyone. I can just walk over there on my own. It's nothing to worry about! My luggage is still at the hotel!"
The shopkeeper then realized that the girl was not one of those risky comrades and did not need their help to get on the bus. According to her description, she probably walked there without any problems.
On the contrary, if they get involved, there might be risks!
"Alright! Then I won't send you off! Be safe on the road, and have a safe trip! Also, that stove in your hand is fake. Liulichang sells who knows how many of them a year. Who would really sell one on the street?"
The red copper Xuande incense burner in his hand was exposed from the newspaper and he saw it clearly.
I thought the girl was too young to understand the ins and outs of this business, so out of kindness I quickly reminded her to prevent her from being cheated by the old scammers on the street.
After all, they are our family. We can't just watch them spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of junk, right?
"This? I know it's fake! I've come to Liulichang and can't go back empty-handed just to have a meal! There has to be an excuse to buy some souvenirs, right?
It would be nice to use it as a stove for making tea or hot pot. I'd better have someone make a rack for it, so I can burn charcoal underneath and hang a pot on top."
Although the "Xuan De furnace" in my hand is fake, it is made of real red copper and is very thick. It is obvious that a lot of money was spent on it. In a way, it can be considered a bargain.
The price of selling scrap is higher than this, so isn’t that a profit?
"Have you ever thought of cooking something else this summer? There's a kind of barbecue in Northeast China that's a bit like our BBQ. It's a flat grill set on the stove, and they use butter to grease the pan, and the meat is cut thicker.
Pork, lamb, and beef can all be roasted, and you can also use sauerkraut, mushrooms, and the like. I'll write out the dipping sauce for you later, and then you can wrap it in vegetable leaves and garlic slices and eat it.
It tastes good, and we probably don’t have it in our city. You can try it.”
The business in the store is not good. Although the purpose of opening the store is to facilitate communication, if the funds are more, the big guys won’t be so stingy.
Don't think she didn't notice that the shopkeeper's socks still had patches on them. He was so frugal while running a business. He must have given all the funds to other comrades.
"Grind peanuts, sesame seeds, fried soybeans, cumin, five-spice powder, and peach crisps into a slightly granular powder and add some salt to make the dipping sauce.
The meat can be sliced and grilled directly, or it can be marinated in advance and mixed with cooking wine, onions or scallions, and a little oil. (It is not authentic because many ingredients were not available during the Republic of China period)
Jiang Cha left a recipe for the shopkeeper and stuffed a big yellow croaker into his hand, then he came out from behind the curtain while cursing.
There were two tables of guests eating in the hall. Jiang Cha walked out of the restaurant with a sullen face and muttering, then came back and stood at the door, shouting a few more words inside as if he was still not satisfied.
"Isn't it just that I don't like your chili oil? My stove is real. The owner got it from Jingshan. Are you just a mutton seller and you think you can appreciate antiques? Tsk!"
Before she turned around, two tables of customers in the restaurant were coughing due to choking, some of them lowered their heads and their faces turned red, and one fan even had blood coming out of his nose.
