Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 151 Dongdu
After the matter was settled, the four of them began to prepare for going out.

The day after Chen Huiyin's twin brother Xisan, the cold storage in the Chen family's cold storage was full of cold vegetables. The four of them took the remaining Helan Mountain inkstones and escorted the cold vegetables southward.

When they arrived at the Weishui Wharf in Shangdu, they didn't go into the city. They just handed over with the storekeeper at the wharf, and waited for the shopkeeper to leave with a convoy full of cold vegetables before letting the boatman sail to Dongdu.

They arrived at the Weishui Wharf in the morning, because it took a lot of time to unload and hand over the cargo. When the ship arrived in Dongdu, it was already noon. Except for the item of handover, it only took a simple unloading, and it didn't take much time.

When they brought the goods to the backyard of the store, they watched the cold vegetables enter the cold storage with their own eyes, and the warehouse door was locked. Chen Huiyin and the shopkeeper signed the confirmation letter together.

As soon as the official business was over, shopkeeper Yan put away his serious face, and said with a gentle smile: "Little boss, you guys, it's past noon now, you must be very hungry, a family that often buys rice noodles in our store Soup noodle shop, his noodle soup tastes very good, may I take you to try it?"

Chen Weiyin looked at the three little friends, saw that they all nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Yan will lead the way."

The waiter in the store prepared the mule cart early, and after the group got on the mule cart, shopkeeper Yan told the driver, "Go to Guiji Soup and Noodle Shop."

When it was over, he looked at Chen Huiyin and took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Little Dong, how many days will you stay in Dongdu this time?"

Chen Huiyin replied: "I will go back tomorrow. The cold and cold vegetables delivered this time can only be sold normally in the store for seven days. We have to rush back to escort the next batch of vegetables. It is not good to delay in Dongdu."

Shopkeeper Yan nodded when he heard the words, and was about to ask the children of the family to be their guides, leading them to get familiar with Dongdu, when his thoughts were interrupted by the most handsome young man among them.

Tang Yaoling pretended to be interested and said, "Uncle Yan, please tell us about the calligraphy, painting and poetry contest on the ninth day of September. We heard people mention it, and we are very curious."

Mentioning this, shopkeeper Yan's eyes lit up: "The calligraphy, painting and poetry contest on the ninth day of September is a nationally sensational event in our Eastern Capital. The registration period is from the beginning of August to the end of August every year, and the deadline for registration is the last day of August.

On the first day of September, a preliminary competition will be held. Hundreds of top performers will be selected for calligraphy, painting, poetry, and writing. The list of top [-] will be announced on the third day of September. Announce the list of the top fifty.

In the finals of the ninth day of junior high school, only talented scholars and beauties who entered the top [-] will participate. The top ten will be selected on the spot, and there will be rewards for the top ten. As for the top three, there will be additional rewards, but the rewards are different every year. I can't say for sure. "

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other tacitly, and then Chen Huiyin asked, "Uncle Yan, do you know which is the best store for the four treasures of the study in Dongdu?"

Shopkeeper Yan thought it was because they wanted to buy some good paper and ink, so he replied, "It's Jingshuzhai, it is a shop integrating books and the four treasures of the study, and it is one of the most famous buildings in Dongdu.

The Jingshuzhai is eight stories high. The first and second floors are used for the Four Treasures of the Study. The third to sixth floors are the book sales area. The books on the seventh to eighth floors are only rented and not sold. It can only be seen on those two floors. "

After inquiring about what he wanted to know, Chen Huiyin changed the subject and asked about the business in the store, and the shopkeeper Yan knew everything and talked endlessly.

After Chen Huiyin had a basic understanding of the store's situation, the carriage also stopped. It turned out that the Guiji soup noodle shop had arrived, and a group of people entered the shop. There are also many diners.

It happened that the guests at the table by the window had finished eating and left, so shopkeeper Yan took Chen Huiyin four times over and occupied the table. At this time, the proprietress of the shop came over with a smile, and while she was cleaning the table, she greeted shopkeeper Yan skillfully. .

Shopkeeper Yan then introduced to the proprietress: "Shopkeeper Liu, this is the young owner of our store. Our lady just added a pair of fat boys during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the owner can't leave, let the little owner escort the goods to the south."

Lady Liu looked at Chen Huiyin with some admiration in her eyes when she heard the words: "So it's Miss Chen. The lady is really courageous. At such a young age, she dared to bet on the goods to go south, which is really admirable."

Chen Huiyin smiled, and mentioned the three of Tang Yaoling: "Shopkeeper Liu is too much for the prize. I have three senior brothers accompanying me to share the pressure. If I am alone, I will show my timidity."

Shopkeeper Yan and Shopkeeper Liu just listened to these words and didn't take them seriously. Both of them are experienced people and have some ability to know people.

But there are some things that don’t need to be said. Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “Thanks to your rice noodles, my store has been brought back to life. My soup noodles have your father’s advice, and the finished product is now. According to Mr. Chen, You came up with the idea, little lady, and you have to give her a free order for today's meal, and she can't refuse."

Chen Huiyin saw that the shopkeeper Liu spoke quickly and sincerely, so she didn't refuse, and then joked with everyone with a smile: "This meal at noon, you are all in my favor."

Wei Chen is the best at activating the atmosphere, and immediately said: "Following you, we have gained a lot of glory. No matter what tonight, give us a chance and let us thank you."

Tang Yaoling and Mu Yang booed together, and shopkeeper Yan watched quietly, feeling a little envious for a moment, not because it's nice to be young, but because when you were young, there were so few little friends who grew up together and felt like relatives. A very enviable thing.

This kind of very pure emotion, although there are few, is rare.

While laughing and laughing, five bowls of steaming hot soup noodles were served. The ancient catering industry is really honest. In the deep bowls that are bigger than their heads, there are clear soup and white rice noodles.

On one side of the rice noodles are shredded mutton that is shiny and delicious, and on the other side are shredded sour bamboo shoots, refreshing bean sprouts, fried crispy peanuts, and a spoonful of red and bright chili oil.

Shake the soup powder to balance the sour and spicy flavors. When the hot soup stimulates the tempting aroma, Chen Huiyin can't wait to pick a chopstick of rice noodles to eat.

The rice noodles are smooth, the sourness of the bamboo shoots and the spiciness of the chili oil are perfectly blended, the hot and sour taste instantly whets the appetite, and the crispy peanuts enrich the taste of the noodle soup.

It is said that it is hot and sour powder, but it is not all. The owner of the chef must have worked hard on the basis of hot and sour to bring out their own taste.

Wei Chen swallowed the rice noodles in his mouth, and said with gleaming eyes, "Although this soup noodles are hot and sour, it tastes different from the one at home. It's really delicious."
