Li Niang was initially worried.
Shuangshuang also frowned and tugged at his sleeve.
Erzhuzi picked up a tree branch from the roadside.
It's as if they're ready to jump into battle at any moment.
But the conflict looks like it's about to erupt.
It came to an abrupt end.
Then the young man seemed to have thought of something.
My father seemed to have said something to me back then.
Back when I was selling cold noodles in the market town.
I once gave the old man who made sesame seed cakes a bowl of cold noodles.
If it weren't for the kindness my father showed back then, I might be in a lot of trouble today.
Erzhu seems to have learned something.
Then they continued to hawk their wares.
Li Niang also started calling out.
The weather was sunny on the 23rd day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
It was getting hotter and hotter at this time.
The participants waited for about an hour and a half.
The first batch of workers began to take a break one after another.
Many workers began to look around this short food street.
I don't know what to eat.
Some vendors started hawking their wares.
"Wild vegetable and mixed vegetable buns, hot buns, one coin each."
"Baked flatbread, baked flatbread, fragrant and soft baked flatbread."
"Porridge, millet porridge is cheap now, only one penny a bowl."
A passerby walked up to Chen Xian's stall.
At first, I didn't care at all.
But when he suddenly saw two very attractive women in front of the stall, he paused slightly.
He stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how much is the food?"
Chen Xian: "Three cents a bowl, five coins for two bowls."
The passerby said, "Give me a bowl to taste first, so I can see what it tastes like."
Next, the white dough is cut into strips and sprinkled with chopped scallions, cilantro, and peanuts.
Chen Xian looked up reflexively and asked, "Do you want some chili peppers?"
"Hmm, what is that?"
He explained, "It's a spicy stuff, like dogwood juice. If you don't like it, you can omit it."
The passerby nodded.
"Don't put in so much, let me taste it and see what it tastes like."
Then Chen Xian handed the bowl to the passerby.
A passerby tentatively stirred it with chopsticks and took a small bite.
His expression suddenly changed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it is indeed quite spicy, but the taste is really good, especially now. In this kind of weather, it's impossible to eat a meal. Eating this cool food is refreshing and appetizing."
"Boss, give me another bowl."
Chen Xian smiled and said, "Sure, you're the first customer today. I'll give you extra dough so you'll have more energy when you're working later."
The passerby never expected to receive such treatment.
Nod vigorously.
"Thank you, boss. You really know how to do business."
He finished his food in a few bites.
The passerby readily paid.
He laughed and said, "That's great, boss! Come again tomorrow!"
Erzhu smiled and said, "Take care."
There was a first person who tried it.
Soon, a second person was found.
Later, people wondered, "A sesame seed cake costs one coin, three coins can buy three, and five coins can fill you up. Can a bowl of cold noodles fill you up?"
Some people think it's too expensive.
Chen Xian explained with a smile, "Our cold noodles are made with refined white flour. You can go to the grain store and ask how much grain costs per kilogram now. Our price is already very fair. If it were any cheaper, we really wouldn't make any money. You can't expect us to make no money at all, can you? We only earn a little bit of hard-earned money, like one or two coins."
His tone was sincere and his attitude was kind.
Li Niang chimed in from the side.
"To be honest, my sister and I steamed these noodles early this morning and then got up in the middle of the night to work on them. We were so tired."
Passerby B observed the two women's sincere tone.
A hearty laugh.
"Then give me a bowl first, so I can taste what it tastes like."
Not long after.
More than a dozen bowls have already been sold.
That's how business is; whatever you're doing, you're afraid of crowding in.
The more lively the place, the more people will come; the less people gather, the less business there is.
For example, Bo Barbecue City and Shui Mala Tang.
After no one went to visit, it quickly shrank back to its original deserted state.
After finishing their meal, the people began to discuss it in front of the other residents.
"A vendor selling liangpi (cold skin noodles) came over there. It tastes really good. There's also chili, half peanuts, the aroma of the noodles, the stimulation of the chili oil, and the gluten. It's really delicious."
"Of course, that man selling cold noodles, despite his age, was really beautiful with two lovely young wives by his side. I think even the legendary tofu beauty is no better than him."
"What? Where can I find a pretty young wife? I don't care if she tastes good or not. I just want to see if it's as exaggerated as you say."
In no time, the reputation of Liangpi (cold skin noodles) spread.
Similarly, the Chen family's liangpi (cold skin noodles) also earned a beautiful name.
Liangpi Xi Shi (a type of cold noodle dish).
Chen Xian remained silent.
Li Niang looked at Chen Xian with some embarrassment.
He had already sensed that something was increasingly wrong.
There were indeed people coming to buy liangpi (cold skin noodles).
However, the topics they discussed were always different from those related to liangpi (cold skin noodles).
"Hey, this young wife is quite pretty, but I don't know why she married such a lousy old man."
"You know what, you really have to admit, that slightly younger one, the girl from a modest family, is quite pretty too."
This refers to Su Shuangshuang.
And Su Shuangshuang, who had always been a nobody, seemed to have found the meaning of her existence.
His smile was gentle, and his tone was soft.
"Hey buddy, want some chili peppers?"
