Chapter 95
Xiao Yue couldn't stop working. Every time she looked up and saw people queuing, she felt so excited...
Xiao Yue couldn't stop once he was busy. Every time he looked up and saw people queuing, he was so excited that his hands were almost sore from handing things over.
Fortunately, everything is in order and I don't lose my composure no matter how busy I am.
She said that this kind of street snack is definitely one of the best in various festivals!
"Your snail rice noodle."
Xiao Yue handed the bowl away and continued to fry another pot of wolf tooth potatoes. He guessed that he would have to cut some again later, so fortunately he brought a special knife.
Just as I was thinking about it, the person who just passed by with the snail noodles said, "There's no place to sit!"
Xiao Yue turned around and saw that the seats were indeed full.
After all, she only brought two small tables for eating, which couldn't accommodate many people.
Fortunately, the bowls that Xiao Yue used to hold food were all deep and sturdy paper bowls. The snail noodles were served with a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and the wolf tooth potatoes were served with a few bamboo sticks, so they could be eaten right away.
The business was so booming that the man had no choice but to take it to the side and start slurping the noodles, and the people who followed him followed his example.
Fortunately, apart from the stalls, tables and queues, the remaining spaces are still spacious, otherwise so many people would not be able to fit in.
But there was no more room to squeeze in later, so Xiao Yue could only take out a wooden paper bag in advance to pack the food, the kind that was square and had two ropes on both sides.
Not only is it convenient to carry in your hands, customers can also take more things.
This was very thoughtful of everyone. After all, since they had come to the Zhihuai Festival, they would definitely want to visit other places.
And I don’t know if it’s influenced by the learning window of Yueting Self-service, but over the past month or so, the taste of food in all major stores has skyrocketed!
The direct impact is that most of the food in Linxiping tastes good... although expensive.
But since it’s a holiday and no one cares, someone has to buy it even if it’s expensive, right?
In short, customers come and go in front of Yueting snack stall, and there is almost no empty space. Every time I look at it, it is full.
The bosses around looked over, looking anxious and helpless.
Especially the boss selling flower porridge on the left. Every time a customer comes here, he will be attracted or driven away by the smell of snail noodles in the next second.
Of course it attracts more people, because the customers there want to eat even while standing, with sweat on their foreheads, and they sip the passion fruit drink in their hands and continue sipping.
Don’t look too fragrant!
There are always people who approach with the mentality of “How can something so stinky really be delicious? I’d better try it”... and eventually they fall for it.
Who wouldn’t be jealous?
The boss of Fresh Flower Porridge sneered in his heart when he saw his fellow traders looking at him with envy.
This was the time when there were the most people. It was Xiao Yue's first time setting up a stall. He could handle it just now, but now he was a little confused.
The main reason was that there were too many people, more than she had expected!
A new basket of rice noodles was added, and several pots of wolf tooth potatoes were cut and fried freshly. There was no time to put the flower cakes and flower milk jelly on the table, so they were just picked up from the side and handed over.
It’s worthy of being the first day of Zhihuai Festival!
Fortunately, after noon, the crowds became less crowded, with only a few people occasionally coming in, but still continuously.
Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and began to slow down his movements. While stirring the wolf tooth potatoes, he looked at the slightly messy table.
On the left, the chopped green onion and garlic were dropped on the table, and on the right, the fresh flower cake crust was inevitably broken into pieces, and there were even two drops of acacia honey that accidentally dripped...
Although it really felt like street snacks, Xiao Yue couldn't bear to see it. After handing out the wolf tooth potatoes and flower milk jelly, he quickly wiped them with a wet rag.
The man in the cake shop handed out a cake with a smile, then looked at the empty stall and his eyes inevitably moved to the next door.
This is the first day of the Zhihuai Festival, but customers always leave when they are full or have finished shopping.
Food is not like clothes and jewelry, which require careful selection and trying on. It is often a simple matter of whether it tastes good or not, and whether to buy it or not.
Linxiping is very big, but the "cake" is so small.
Looking at the entire Linxiping, only Yueting Snacks still has so many people at this moment.
About half an hour later, it was 3:30 pm.
The number of customers at Yueting Snacks remains high, but... the food is sold out!
Inside the stall, Xiao Yue looked at the completely empty third box of rice noodles and the empty snail soup, and couldn't help but laugh, and apologized to the customers in front of him.
"I'm really sorry, today's snail noodles are sold out, but we still have some wolf tooth potatoes. Would you like some?"
Xiao Yue originally thought that the popular wolf tooth potatoes or flower cakes would be sold out first, but it turned out to be snail noodles!
Well, that's to be expected.
It seems that the people in Liuyun City and Qingyun City are very receptive, or maybe it’s because the food is so delicious... well, it’s just confidence.
But when the customer heard the news, he felt dizzy, and several customers in the back row also learned the bad news soon.
"What?!"
"My snail noodles, how can I live without you!"
"Hurry up and pinch my philtrum... Forget it, don't do it yet, I want two servings of wolf-tooth potatoes!"
Xiao Yue looked at the man in front of him who was obviously from Qingyun City, and smiled as he scooped two servings for him.
The wolf tooth potatoes were sold out, followed by the flower cakes and flower milk jelly, and only half a cup of passion fruit drink was left.
Xiao Yue was embarrassed to sell it so she kept it. The main reason was that she had only drunk water twice since she was so busy and she was almost dying of thirst.
Of course he was hungry, so Xiao Yue went out to eat a bowl of porridge in the morning. Now he was very hungry, but all the food was gone.
So after telling the later customers that they could come back tomorrow, she hurriedly drank the half cup of passion fruit drink.
As soon as it entered his mouth, Xiao Yue was hit by the sour and sweet taste, which gave him some strength.
After resting for a while, she stood up and put the lid on the soup pot, and cleaned up the countertop all the way to the water dispenser on the right.
This is really a big bucket. Even though Xiao Yue expected everyone to order it, he didn't expect it to sell out.
It was only 4:45 in the afternoon, which meant that there was still half an hour left before her stall at Linxiping closed, and all her goods had already been sold out!
This was what Xiao Yue had not expected. Today the car came full of people, but later it would return empty.
Xiao Yue sighed and finished the remaining few sips of passion fruit drink. Just as he was thinking about packing up and going back, a pleasant voice came to his ears.
"Hello."
This polite greeting made Xiao Yue stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw a man in elegant white clothes, with handsome features and standing hair walking towards him from the right.
He was holding a piece of white cake in his hand, looking a little shy and uncomfortable. When he saw her looking at him, he coughed lightly.
"Well... I see you've been busy for so long and haven't eaten anything. I haven't sold all of this yet. Can I give you one to try?"
Xiao Yue smelled a faint scent of cherries and cream, and then she realized that the man was the owner of the cake shop to the right of her stall.
She didn't see this person when she first arrived, and later she was busy and had no time to see him. She didn't expect him to be so handsome and even bring her food?
Xiao Yue was somewhat impressed, so she took it without hesitation and said, "Thank you, this cake looks good, did you bake it fresh?"
"Yes, there is a small stove under the stall. Pastries must be freshly baked to taste good." The man chatted with her, his voice still a little low: "This is cherry rose cream flavor, how about you try it?"
There was a small spoon thoughtfully placed in the cake box, so Xiao Yue picked it up and scooped a spoonful.
The cream is delicate and the cake is soft, with rose petals on the surface and plenty of cherry jam on the inside.
Xiao Yue took a bite and found the taste even better. The ingredients were definitely fresh and clean. She praised: "It's sweet but not greasy, and it's baked just right. Your cooking skills are really good!"
It tasted better than most of the food she had eaten in modern times, not to mention this was ancient times.
"That's good!" The man smiled with his eyes slightly shining, and then he was a little embarrassed: "But... business is not so good."
Xiao Yue glanced at his stall. There were still a lot of things piled on the counter, but compared with other stalls around, it was already pretty good.
Xiao Yue couldn't say much about the price, so he suggested, "The Zhihuai Festival has just begun, so take it slow. For example, for this dish I'm eating, why not put two cherries on the surface? Wouldn't it be more attractive?"
The taste is indeed good, but it lacks appeal. After all, just looking at the menu and the appearance, you can't really tell what it's like.
The man was slightly stunned, and seemed to be in deep thought for a while. After a while, he said, "Okay, thank you for your suggestion. So are you going to... leave first?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yue nodded and said, "Yes, they are all sold out. By the way, I will bring you a bowl of snail noodles tomorrow. I guarantee you will like it!"
This statement is confusing. After all, no one can guarantee that there are 100% "ancient people" who would like this kind of food with a special taste.
The man was a little speechless, and then he watched Xiao Yue quickly finish the cake, pack up the stall and leave.
Along the way, she was the focus of attention. When she reached the entrance to settle the copper coins, the official there asked something with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Yue answered with a smile, looking so bright and pleasant in this Zhihuai Festival full of fireworks.
The man lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions.
…
It was not until they went down the gentle slope that Xiao Yue remembered that she had forgotten to ask the man's name.
It is very difficult to meet "fellow villagers" with a suspicion rate of over 90% in this place!
Xiao Yue had been guessing this almost since early morning. After all, cakes did exist in this era, but none of them were so exquisite, not to mention cream, which required a certain procedure.
But Xiao Yue was busy and had no time to think about it. Until just now, the man delivered the gift and said "hello."
She felt that this was not just a simple greeting, but must be a recognition of her identity.
Well... at least there is no precedent for snail noodles in the entire Dachen Kingdom.
Xiao Yue was a little happy, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had to go to Linxiping tomorrow anyway, so he was too lazy to go back and ask.
She pushed the cart back to West Street, tired and hungry.
Yueting Buffet was naturally closed at this moment, and I'm afraid the store had already been packed up.
Xiao Yue looked up, and unexpectedly, he saw Fang Sanhong and others who had moved to the front yard and were busy.
They also saw her and were surprised. Then they came over with a smile, asked her all kinds of questions, and helped push the cart.
"You're back so early?"
"Sister Xiao, isn't the Zhihuai Festival very lively?"
"It's definitely lively, there are so many people in our store!"
"Let me help you push it...Wow, they're all sold out?!"
Xiao Yue's mood suddenly became high, and he walked back to the backyard while talking.
