At noon, Zhou Xiaohu picked out today's set meal.
In addition to the minced meat and tofu that Song Yuehua ordered herself, she also got a portion of the Dongpo pork and spicy grilled fish that Mr. Mu and Mr. Zuo Si ordered.
“Grilled fish!”
Song Yuehua felt her mouth watering after just one sniff.
Zhou Xiaohu said, "Wenwu sent me a bag of spices from Qingzhou and asked me to try using a little each time."
Spices are not cheap at this time, Song Yuehua said with some concern, "This is quite expensive, right?"
"I've calculated the price. This dish is 60 cents per portion, so I can still make some profit." Zhou Xiaohu whispered.
It seems that I was worrying too much.
Now Zhou Xiaohu is becoming more and more skilled in doing business.
Master Zuo Si brought out the grilled fish. The moment he opened the lid, the aroma was so overbearing that it attracted everyone's attention.
"Fourth Master, why does your fish smell so good?" Lu Cheng turned around and asked.
Zuo Siye was not stingy, he raised his head and asked, "Would you like to try the taste?"
Lu Cheng happily brought his braised pork to exchange with Master Zuo Si.
"This tastes really good." Lu Cheng took a bite and felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
It was also the first time for Mr. Mu to eat grilled fish. After taking a bite, he was so delicious that he came over with the bowl and asked Zhou Xiaohu.
"If fish can be grilled, can meat also be grilled?"
Zhou Xiaohu nodded, "Of course you can, but it makes you irritated, so I don't recommend eating it often."
After hearing what Zhou Xiaohu said, Bai Ye also asked, "Can eggplants be roasted too?"
"You can grill it." Song Yuehua said.
"Bake one for each of us tonight. Whether or not we eat it in the future depends on your cooking skills." Grandpa Mu laughed.
Zhao Xiaofu was taking notes behind the counter.
Zhou Xiaohu thought that the spices were limited this time, and since they were selling well, he could ask Wenwu to send more back.
Or you can ask Zhang Dandan to help find some.
There was a grilled fish at the counter, and several people ate it till there was not a single crumb left.
When Zhou Xiaohu and Xu Ji collected the food boxes and prepared to go back, Song Yuehua stopped him and asked, "Did Xiao Cui come over today?"
"She's here," Zhou Xiaohu said. "I saw her setting up a stall at the market when I was buying vegetables this morning."
Song Yuehua said, "Did she have lunch at your place at noon?"
Zhou Xiaohu said, "Xiao Cui and her daughter go back to the village every day. They bring their own food and stay at home at night."
"Two people riding in a ox cart every day is quite expensive." Song Yuehua murmured.
Zhou Xiaohu sighed and said, "You came here today by ox cart, right? They didn't take ox carts. They walked to the county gate before daybreak."
Song Yuehua didn't expect it to be like this. It's not impossible, it's just very hard.
After cleaning up the counter, Song Yuehua asked Xiaoyu and Xiaofu again, only to find out that Xiaocui had never spent the night in the chess hall.
"Maybe he doesn't want to trouble others." Zhao Xiaofu said.
"It's really a tough nut to crack." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Xiang Xiaoyu agreed, "It's better to be tough. If you are too soft, you won't last long in a place like the market."
Zhao Xiaofu said to the two of them, "Since Sister Xiao Cui disguised herself as a man, she has been quite strong."
In fact, Zhao Xiaofu also heard it from Xu Ji.
In the morning, Xu Ji often went to the market to sell his vegetables, and sometimes he would stand next to Xiao Cui's stall.
Some vegetable vendors arrived a little late, but when they saw that Xiao Cui was thin and small, they offered to exchange stalls with her.
In order to get a better stall, Xiao Cui would rather spend the night on the street. She is not a fool and she would definitely not agree to change.
Several big men surrounded him. Xu Ji realized something was wrong and was about to run to call for help.
Then Xiao Cui took out an axe and chopped it hard on the floor, shouting, "Come on, I'll give you four lives for my life."
At that time, not to mention those men, even Xu Ji was frightened to the point of his legs going weak.
Everyone was frightened by Xiao Cui's desperate attitude.
Some stubborn people refused to believe it and thought he was just bluffing.
As soon as he took a step forward, Xiao Cui chopped him in the face with an axe, and the man was so scared that he pissed his pants.
Xu Ji quickly ran over and hugged Xiao Cui, shouting at the man, "My elder brother is crazy, he really wants to chop people, don't provoke him."
Seeing this, those people gave up.
Before leaving, a man asked Xu Ji, "What's your brother's name?"
"Duan Yidao!" Xiao Cui stared at him sinisterly.
"I'll remember you!" the man said coldly.
After everyone dispersed, Xu Ji apologized to Xiao Cui, "Brother, I was anxious and said this. I'm afraid it will affect your business."
"It's okay," Xiao Cui said with a smile, "The things Qingqing made are unique. If you really want them, you will come to me to buy them. If it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid things wouldn't be so simple."
Only then did Xu Ji smile.
After listening to Xiaofu's story about what Xiaocui had experienced, Song Yuehua's brows were still furrowed.
It's good to be able to take on responsibilities, but there's no need to be too aggressive. In fact, there are so many people in the village in the county town, it's normal for them to help each other.
"One chess set, two set meals."
A voice came from above the counter, and Song Yuehua looked up and saw that the customer was Wu Zheng.
When Zhao Xiaofu brought him the chess pieces, Song Yuehua said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, serve two bowls of mung bean soup to Uncle Wu."
Wu Zheng, "..."
"I didn't ask for mung bean soup."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "I know, this is my treat."
Wu Zheng took a step back, looking alert, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"I do have something to ask of you."
