Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 22
"I want to know, then you can pour us a pot of tea, I've said this twice, this is how you Yumanlou treats guests, do you need to pay for tea?"

Seeing that the waiter in this shop is not too snobbish, but also considered to be knowledgeable, she said a few more words to him, after all, her motives for coming here to eat were not pure.

"Girl, can you give me some of your food, I can pay for it." At this time, an old man came to the table and asked.

It turned out to be a pair of grandparents and grandchildren sitting by the wall. The child looked like three or four years old. Seeing that Xu Ru and the others were eating so deliciously, he wanted to eat too. The grandfather really couldn't resist the grandson's request, so he wanted to ask Xu Ru to buy it. A little peanut.

"Grandpa, here's another pack, you can take it, you don't need to pay, I still have this, hee hee, it's delicious."

As soon as she handed over a bag of peanuts, the child hiding behind her grandpa hugged her and couldn't wait to open it to eat.

"It's not like this, I'll teach you to peel it, look like this..." Xu Ru took a peanut, squeezed it lightly, and the shell of the peanut cracked. In the mouth, it will not get the water in the shell everywhere.

"Fourth sister, I ate white flour steamed buns at my third aunt's house during Chinese New Year last year. It was delicious." After eating the steamed buns, Yinhua gulped down a big bowl of water again.

"The third aunt's family has sister Dongmei who works to make money, and Brother Huzi can also work, and the third aunt can raise chickens. Our family is incomparable. It's all because I was ignorant and caused so much trouble for the family. But it will get better in the future, don't worry." The previous difficulties will pass, Xu Ru also said to herself.

"Yes, everything will be fine in the future. When winter comes, Jin Ge and I will go hunting in the mountains. In winter, the leather can be sold at a good price." Xu's father is also full of expectations for the future. All difficulties will pass.

The three of them were sitting in the middle of the lobby, dressed in simple clothes that didn't fit in with the style of the lobby, and the diners around looked at them from time to time.

Xu Ru ate very slowly, and deliberately discussed the deliciousness of boiled peanuts with Yinhua.

She could feel probing gazes from all directions, especially one gaze, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wait until everyone has rested. "Little Er, pay the bill."

The father and daughter stood up and prepared to leave.

"Guest officer, wait a moment, our shopkeeper is very interested in your food, I wonder if we can talk about it inside?" the waiter from the shop just ran over and asked.

"I have something to say, can't I just say it here?" Xu's father was a little worried, and he had never seen such a scene.

After all, I am a rural person, and these rich people who do business are not easy to get along with.

"Father, it's okay, let's go together, the three of us."

Entering the back hall, Xu Ru saw a middle-aged man in a royal blue gown talking with his grandpa and grandson who had just been begging for peanuts. On the table were her peanuts and a small pile of peanut shells.

After the introduction, I found out that the middle-aged man was the shopkeeper Sun of Yumanlou, named Sun Biyan.The old man I met in the hall was Yumanlou's former chef. After retirement, he was fond of his grandchildren, and he often came to Yumanlou to drink tea and chat.Today, I brought my grandson to play and happened to meet Xu Ru and the others. After tasting the boiled peanuts, I felt that the taste was unique, and I wanted to know who made this cooking method.

Xu Ru told him that she cooked the fermented bean curd with her own secret seasonings and peanuts from her own field. It can be used as a seasoning or as a meal, and the flavor is not ordinary. She also gave it to the shopkeeper and the grandfather to taste. I took a look at the fermented bean curd I made myself.
