Chapter 167: Gourmet
Ma Qingmei spoke first.
It caused others to nod their heads repeatedly.
Everyone agrees with her idea.
"You're right. We're all from the same village. How can we favor one over the other? If Ma Chunxia can make money, we can make money too. If Zhang Jinlan doesn't accept it, I'll block her door and won't let her out."
"That's right. How can Ma Chunxia earn thirty cents a day while we can only watch and drool? This is thirty cents. You can't earn that much even if you do odd jobs in the town."
"Tell me, does Zhang's shop make money? If it doesn't make money, why does she spend 30 wen every day to buy bamboo tubes from Ma Chunxia's house, and why does Wang Taohua's family also go there to cut bamboo every day? Could it be that she can also make 30 wen every day?"
Everyone gathered together to discuss.
Not far away, the Jiang Guangyi couple looked over here with their lips curled.
They had playful smiles on their faces.
Especially Chen Qiuju, whose old face had many wrinkles from smiling.
Zhang Jinlan, who was busy stringing skewers in the town, had no idea what was happening in the field.
After getting the meat and vegetables.
The family began to get busy.
The sausages and potatoes were sold out in a quarter of an hour.
The foursome were very upset because they were late.
"It's all your fault. You got up so late and made us wait at your door for a full quarter of an hour. Look, they're sold out. We won't be able to eat grilled sausages and potatoes today. I'll come by myself tomorrow and definitely not with you."
Kong Ming looked at Ding Huanfu angrily.
Meng Bujiu was not much better.
There was resentment in his eyes.
I have to go back to school tomorrow.
It would have been fine if he didn’t get to eat it yesterday, but he still didn’t get to eat it today. He will definitely not wait for Ding Huanfu tomorrow.
If he can’t get it, he will have to wait another ten days.
The foursome had their first conflict.
"Okay, okay, Huanfu didn't do it on purpose. Let's just come earlier tomorrow. Who would have thought that the grilled sausages and potatoes would sell out even faster than before? In the final analysis, it's all this shop's fault. They only make so little, how can it be enough to sell? I think these two things don't make money, they deliberately use them to attract people. They only make money from their meat pie and mung bean soup.
Otherwise, how come you can't sell all the meat cakes and green bean soup? Brother Meng, Brother Kong, let's go. I heard that a teahouse has opened at the end of the street. The rice cakes there are especially delicious. Paired with this year's new tea, it must taste great. So, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology to Huanfu."
Deng Siyuan has the best relationship with Ding Huanfu.
In addition, Ding Huanfu was young, so Deng Siyuan always liked to protect him as an older brother.
In fact, his family background ranks last among the four.
The other three were either grandsons of the headmaster or had restaurants and bakeries at home. Only he could go to school thanks to his uncle.
If you don't drag someone to play.
I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the group of four.
Deng Siyuan thought long term.
Ding Huanfu, who was scolded so much that he dared not say a word, had a look of gratitude in his eyes.
"No, you guys go. Who wants to drink tea so early in the morning? I want to eat meat pie. It's so hot. I'm afraid I'll get a heat stroke if I drink hot tea. Anyway, do you want to go with me to eat meat pie or drink tea?"
Kong Mingxue looked at Meng Bujiu.
"I'll go with you."
Meng Bujiu thought the meat pie was also delicious.
Besides, he doesn't like tea.
No matter how delicious the tea in the teahouse is, can it compare to the tea at his grandfather's house?
Meng Bujiu looked down on him.
"Then I'll go eat the meat pie, too. Huanfu, this time it's you who caused Brother Kong and Brother Meng to not have grilled sausages and potatoes. You should treat me to the meat pie and green bean soup as an apology."
Compared to a bakery opened at home.
Of course, Deng Siyuan would not become estranged from the headmaster's grandson because of him.
He quickly stood next to the two of them.
This resulted in a three-to-one situation.
The youngest, Ding Huanfu, also became angry.
Everyone at home spoiled him, but he was scolded like this just because he got up late in the morning.
How could he bear it?
So without saying a word, he just turned around and left.
The three of them didn't try to persuade him to stay and went straight into the shop, where they each ordered a meat pie and mung bean soup.
"Waiter, why does your shop smell so good? It doesn't smell like meat pie to me."
As the three of them were eating meat pies and drinking mung bean soup, an old gourmet who often came to patronize the restaurant wrinkled his nose and asked Jiang Eryong.
"Shopkeeper Yang, you have a really sharp nose. We have new products today. Would you like to try them? Don't worry, I will take the credit. If you come to our shop every day, it will be my treat."
After working as a waiter for many days, Jiang Eryong has become more and more capable of dealing with people.
The shopkeeper Yang who was speaking to me ran a rouge shop on Shibu Street.
I come to my shop to eat almost every day.
And it costs dozens of cents every time.
Definitely a loyal customer.
It just so happens that the barbecue and cold noodles are new today, and this is the time when word of mouth is needed.
If the shop owner Yang likes to eat it and praises it, then word will spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and everyone will know about it.
Everyone knows that Shopkeeper Yang loves to eat, and he only wants the things he praises.
No one doubts the taste.
"That's great, hurry up and give me some so I can try it."
Yang Wanli stroked his beard and said with a smile.
On the table in front of him, the meat pie on the plate and the mung bean soup in the bamboo tube had been finished.
Yang Wanli's belly is as big as that of a woman who is eight months pregnant.
This little bit is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.
Even if Jiang Eryong didn't send any food, he would order two more meat cakes and a cup of mung bean soup.
Meng Bujiu and the other two, who were standing by, saw it all.
They said nothing, ready to see what the new product was.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Eryong finally came out with a tray.
There were a dozen skewers of meat and vegetables on the plate, which looked like they were grilled and tasted extremely delicious.
There is also a bowl of noodles on the right.
The strange thing is that it’s not soup noodles.
The town also sells the dried noodles that people in the north eat, but they are all thick and wide noodles. I have never seen thin dried noodles.
Not only is it thin, but there are also shredded cucumber and vegetables on top. It doesn't even look steaming. Could it be cold?
The customers eating in the shop were all attracted by the food on the trays.
Speculations abound.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. These are our new products, barbecue and cold noodles. Would you like to try them and see if they are okay?"
Jiang Eryong introduced loudly.
The noise was so loud that the customers standing in line outside could hear it.
"New product? Is this a new arrival?"
"Hey, barbecue? Cold noodles? How come I've never heard of them? The owner of this shop is really talented. He makes all kinds of things that others have never heard of."
"I think cold noodles don't sound delicious. Who would eat cold noodles? They'd probably be dried up."
"I want to try that barbecue. Can you smell it? It smells so good, even better than grilled sausages. Does it taste the same as grilled sausages? Just the grilled sausages make me salivate. No, I have to buy some to try."
"What are you buying? Ask the waiter to give you some. If he can give it to others, why can't he give it to us?"
The sound of chatting outside the shop reached Jiang Eryong's ears, and he secretly said that something was wrong.
