I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 36

"Mother, this is the largest restaurant in Anzhen, Chunfenglou! However, it's still early, and they probably won't open until after Chenshi."

Ning Laosan sent Ning Pengpeng to the front of Chunfeng Building, and then let her go.

After all, Chunfenglou and Nanshi are one south and one north, so he has to go to Nanshi earlier to occupy a place.

These days, there are more and more people selling sugarcane water, and they are late, and the good positions are all taken up!
"Okay, I see. You go first, I will go to Nanshi to find you later."

Ning Pengpeng, who got off the bullock cart, looked up at the magnificent restaurant in front of him, and then said to Ning Laosan.

Third Ning drove the ox cart away, and Ning Pengpeng took a look at the restaurant door which was still closed, and turned his head towards the wonton stand on the side of North Street when the ox cart came just now.

"Master, here is a bowl of wontons."

Because it was still dark, there were still two big red lanterns hanging on the oilcloth shed supported by the owner of the wonton stall.

Looking at it, it is very conspicuous.

"Okay, a bowl of wontons."

The old man was sitting and making wontons, but when he heard Ning Pengpeng coming over and saying what he was sitting on the bench, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, and went to make wontons in response.

Ning Pengpeng looked around, although the old man's wonton stall was not big, but besides her, there were still people eating wontons at the other two tables, and she was not the only one.

It's just that people should be on their way or get up early to run errands, and after eating in a hurry, they put down five cents and left!
"Guest officer, your wonton."

Put this wonton in the pot and it will be ready soon.

The old man brought it over, and in a large bowl, ten chubby wontons were dotted with some green onion, and the melted lard was floating on the soup, which was very tempting.

"Thank you."

After thanking Ning Pengpeng, he picked up a spoon, scooped up a wonton, blew it, and put it in his mouth.

I have to say that the meat filling in this wonton is fat and thin, and the taste is very delicious.

When I came out this morning, although I cooked six eggs, each person divided two.

After Ning Pengpeng finished eating the wontons, he took out the two eggs from the basket, cracked them, peeled them off, and ate them together with the wonton soup in the big big bowl. He burped immediately. .

The old man had no objection to Ning Pengpeng's operation, and sat in his original position with a smile on his face, continuing to make wontons.

"Master, how long have you been setting up a stall here? The taste of this wonton is really good. I think your stall is not far from the Chunfeng Building. When they opened the door, did they have any objection to your stall here? "

He reached into his bosom, took out his money bag, counted five copper coins, put them in front of the old man, and chatted curiously.

"It's only a few decades. I used to make ends meet when I was young. Although I didn't earn a lot of money, it has become a habit now! As for the ingredients in this wonton, it is a secret recipe handed down by our family. It tastes very fresh.

As for the Chunfeng Building, shopkeeper Su is very easy-going, and has always taken care of the neighbors in the neighborhood, so why would he do something like drive old people like me away. "

The old man glanced at Ning Pengpeng, but he knew everything.

"Then shopkeeper Su is so approachable? There doesn't seem to be a big family named Su in Ke'an Town!"

Ning Pengpeng carefully recalled the memory of the original body, maybe she was ignorant and had never heard of a rich family named Su in An Town, but knew that there were two wealthy families named Li and Liu. There are several of them!
"Shopkeeper Su is only the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building here, not the owner. The owner of Chunfeng Building is named Pei. It is said that there are members of Dong Pei's family who are officials in the capital. Therefore, even if the shopkeeper Su is not from this Anzhen, in Anzhen , and no one dares to disrespect him.”

Anyway, the old man is idle, he is busy with work, and the gossip is not left behind.

"In the early years, Mr. Liu thought that shopkeeper Su would be easy to bully when he just arrived. Unexpectedly, he almost tossed himself into the prison of the county government!
If he hadn't been protected by his family members from the state capital, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

Since that time, Liu Dahu has been a man with his tail between his legs. "

After inquiring about what she wanted to know, Ning Pengpeng was not idle, and helped to tidy up the dishes and chopsticks left by the guests on the old man's table after eating, and put them in the bowls that needed to be washed.

"Oh my, guest officer, this can't be forced, you put it down, I'll do it myself."

Seeing that Ning Pengpeng actually helped, the old man hurriedly stood up to stop him, but he heard Ning Pengpeng say to him with a smile.

"Master, you have done me a great favor, and I have to sit by your side for a while, so don't be polite to me for such a trivial matter as cleaning up the dishes!"

The old man saw Ning Pengpeng's sincere face, and there were only a few bowls and chopsticks on the table, and Ning Pengpeng had already tidied them up quickly. He thanked him again and again and sat down again.

As time passed, the sky changed from pitch black to crab blue.

The wontons that the old man wrapped before are almost sold out.

"Guest officer, are you waiting for Shopkeeper Su?"

The old man glanced at Ning Pengpeng, who was staring at Chunfenglou intently, and then said with certainty.

"Yes, sir, your eyes are really sharp."

Ning Pengpeng gave the old man a thumbs up and boasted.

"The old man has lived to such a great age. Seeing that you asked about Chunfenglou before, you must have something to do with shopkeeper Su. Coincidentally, shopkeeper Su would come to my stall every day before Chunfenglou opened, and eat such a meal. Bowl of wontons.

Unexpectedly, the wontons of the little old man are almost sold out so early today!
Why don't you help deliver this bowl of wontons to the shopkeeper Su at the back door of the Chunfeng Tower, what do you think? "

Hearing the old man's words, Ning Pengpeng blinked, and immediately nodded his thanks with glowing eyes.

"Thank you, sir, for your help!"

"Hehe, where is it? The little old man wanted to go home early, so I asked you to help deliver this wonton. If you want to say thank you, I should thank you."

The old man stood up, put the last bowl of wontons into the pot, and replied to Ning Pengpeng with a smile.

Holding the bowl of wontons, Ning Pengpeng turned to the back door of Chunfeng Building and knocked hard on the door panel.

"Who is it?"

Someone yawned, came over to remove the latch and opened the door while asking.

I saw a young man in Xiaoer's clothes, wiped the corner of his eyes and looked at Ning Pengpeng who was holding a bowl outside the door.

"Ma'am, who are you looking for?"

The young man looked Ning Pengpeng up and down a few times, and then asked with a puzzled face.

The corners of Ning Pengpeng's mouth twitched when she heard auntie addressing her.

Then he raised the wonton in his hand and said to the young man: "The uncle of the wonton stall has a good business today and sold out early. However, he said that shopkeeper Su would go to his place every morning to eat a bowl of wonton, and he specially left I finished cooking the last bowl, let me help deliver it."
