Chapter 167: Child Bride She is Happy and Carefree
After working for more than two hours, the stall finally welcomed its first customer.
"Big sister, are you setting up a stall here? What are you selling?"
A man who looked like a foreman came over, stopped in front of their stall, and asked curiously.
Like other workers, he had already seen the situation here.
It's just that I have to watch the workers at work, so I haven't had time to come.
Now that the work is over, he can find a place to rest.
Just happened to come and see what this new stall is used for.
"Hello uncle, our stall specializes in selling tea. We also offer fried egg pancakes if needed!"
Seeing that there were finally guests coming, Lin Wanwan immediately stood up to greet them.
Although the main person questioning the other party was Liu Xiaoyan, it didn't matter who answered.
"Tea seller?"
"How much is a bowl of your tea?"
The foreman's eyes fell on the tea bowl beside him.
"It's only one penny a bowl, it's cheap. It also contains tea leaves to cool you down, and the water used is also spring water from the mountains."
I heard that it only costs one penny per bowl, and it even comes with tea leaves.
The foreman immediately took out a penny from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Today is your first day setting up the stall, so I'll just take care of your business. Give me a bowl!"
After picking a bench and sitting down, the foreman waited.
"Your tea is ready, sir. This is our specialty herbal tea. Please try it!"
Lin Wanwan poured the tea and brought it to the man's table.
"Gudong gudong gudong~"
The man finished the tea in a few gulps and then wiped his mouth.
“Ha~”
"Your tea is really special. I feel so cool after drinking it!"
"By the way, little brother, are you planning to sell water here long-term?"
The foreman was satisfied with the drink and thought it would be nice if he could drink two bowls every day in the future.
Anyway, he earns a lot of money and doesn't care about these few cents.
Why not spend a few cents to keep yourself cool all day?
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Just once, the uncle took a liking to this tea.
"Yes, we did plan to do that!"
Lin Wanwan collected the tea bowl, cleaned it and put it back where it belonged.
"If you're going to be selling water here for a long time, I suggest you build a shed. That way people who drink the water can stay cooler, and it'll be more convenient for you too."
"However, your current location isn't very suitable. If you need anything, I'll go talk to the docks and they'll allocate a new plot of land for you. It won't take much effort for you to cut some bamboo and build a shed."
The foreman had a good idea. Even if the family couldn't continue the business in the end, wouldn't the shed still be there?
After finishing their work, they can also go to the shed to enjoy the cool air, and have a place to shelter from the rain on rainy days.
"Thank you so much, uncle. We definitely want to work here for a long time, so please help us put in a word!"
"It's just right. It's almost noon. My mother and I need to eat anyway. Why don't you stay and try the egg pancakes from our stall?"
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she had already started preparing and did not give the uncle a chance to refuse.
When the man saw that Lin Wanwan had already started to take action, he swallowed his words of refusal.
"If you need help, just tell me. I'm quite capable in this area!"
Smack your lips.
The uncle said something for the sake of conversation.
"Brother, I just saw you at the dock, watching others work. You look like a capable person."
"You are here, so you should be in charge, right?"
After feeling helpless at first, Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help herself when she saw that Lin Wanwan was chatting with the other party very naturally.
I am a cheerful and generous person, but because it was my first time doing business, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"We're still a little short of a manager, but I'm a big foreman here, with forty or fifty people under me!"
"Although I'm not a manager, many managers are kind to me, so my words still count!"
It turns out that the man's name is Liu Hu, and he has the same surname as Liu Xiaoyan.
He is a big foreman here, and he brings a large group of people to work for others.
Even though he is just a foreman, there is still a difference between a big foreman and a small foreman.
A small foreman may only have a few people under his command, and only those who have more than 20 to 30 people under their command can be called a big foreman.
Liu Hu is indeed doing well here because he is kind and has a wide network of contacts. Even some of the managers at the dock are familiar with him.
Lin Wanwan quickly cleaned the iron sheet and placed it on the fire.
Scoop a spoonful of the batter you just prepared on top and spread it into a pancake.
Then add eggs, the shredded potatoes fried in the morning, vegetables and chopped green onions.
Although this is a low-end version of the egg pancake, it is still a novel snack in this era when egg pancakes have not yet appeared.
"Uncle, can you eat spicy food?"
Lin Wanwan asked, and after receiving a positive answer, she added a large spoonful of chili sauce to the uncle's meal.
Finally, he wrapped the omelet in large leaves that he had picked, washed, and dried in advance and handed it to the other person.
"Uncle, this is our family's specialty snack, egg pancake, please try it!"
"Don't underestimate this simple thing. If you have a small appetite, one is definitely enough."
As for those who have a big appetite, you can just buy two.
Even if you don’t want to buy two, you can still eat half full.
It’s better than eating the steamed buns they brought with them.
"This omelet smells delicious. Let me try it and see how it tastes."
Liu Hu took the omelet and took a big bite.
He had no scruples at all and chewed and swallowed the omelet along with the leaves it was wrapped in.
Anyway, this kind of leaves are common in the mountains, and many people like to pick them and eat them during famine times.
No one knows what this leaf is called, but people like to call it sour leaf.
Because the taste of this kind of leaves has a hint of sourness, in this era when taste is not rich, the sourness brought by this kind of leaves has a unique flavor.
Even in normal times, many children like to pick them, pickle them with salt and eat them cold.
So some people regard this leaf as a wild vegetable.
"Um!"
"Your omelet tastes amazing, fragrant and soft, with a little crispy edges!"
“With the shredded potatoes and vegetables in it, it’s just like eating at home!”
If the weather wasn't so hot, an egg pancake like this would have gone bad by now.
Liu Hu was thinking, should he ask his wife to prepare two for him every day?
"As long as you like it, uncle, feel free to come over if you want to eat it next time. You can see my omelet. It contains a whole egg, as well as other stir-fried vegetables and vegetables."
"This cake is not expensive, only five cents."
"Our pancakes are both filling and delicious. I guarantee you won't lose out."
