Red apricots make spring

Chapter 71
In the next few days, Gentle worked hard to practice the man's tone of voice. If she didn't listen carefully, she could get away with it. Anyway, she firmly believed that silence is golden, and decided that if it was not necessary, she would insist on not talking too much when setting up a stall, which was even more different. Those gossip eaters chatted all over the world together.As for her pierced ears, the light is not clear at night, so no one will notice it. If anyone asks, she will say that she was weak when she was a child, and it was difficult to support her. She was raised by her mother dressed as a girl.

After making up her mind, Rourou did things much more briskly. It didn't take much effort to prepare everything, and even bought two account books for future account keeping.Right now, she is waiting for Mother Wen to drive out the men's clothing she needs, and after putting it on, she can immediately push it out in the car and start her journey of making money!However, it costs money to buy things. In the past few days, the money has flowed like running water. After saving the money for the purchase of ingredients, she found that the money she can control to spend is only five hundred copper coins .

She has no money, no matter how unwilling she is, she can only reduce her food budget, so she can't buy big fish and meat, and eats fresh vegetables and fruits under control. All kinds of wild vegetables and pickles are served on the dining table in turn, becoming Wen's family's next meal. protagonist.Fortunately, there is nothing to say about the skill of gentle cooking. Even the simplest and cheapest ingredients can change into different wonderful tastes after cooking by her hands. Therefore, no one has ever complained about the deterioration of the food when eating. up.

That night, Wen’s family drank rice porridge, and there were four dishes on the table, steamed bean curd with fresh salty mustard greens, fried tofu with potherb mustard, tofu with minced meat, and spicy Malan tou. , Ms. Wen even praised: "It should have been eaten like this, saving money!" The daily expenditure on food and drink has been saved by more than half compared with before. People are also at ease.

Wenrou couldn't laugh or cry, she couldn't tell her that pickles and the like should not be eaten frequently, otherwise she would easily get cancer, right?She endured and endured, and finally swallowed the words together with the porridge. It was useless to say it. Mother Wen would definitely open a pair of dizzy old eyes, and said to her in a daze: "Cancer? What is this? Ever since I’ve never heard of it! Poor people, how can they be so particular about it!”

Wen Wen went back to the room after dinner, put on the tailor-made men's clothing that Mama Wen sewed for her, looked at it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she was glad that she was still young and her breast development was not obvious, not to mention the weather in early spring. It's cold, and the clothes are bulging, and you can't see your figure at all.She went outside the room, asked everyone's opinions, and then let Xiaohuan tie her hair up, put on a scarf, and went out with Ye Yu to set up a stall.

Regardless of the backwardness of ancient times, urban planning and management are still very strict. Vendors are not allowed to randomly set up stalls. They need to pay a certain amount of coins to rent a stall in a place where stalls are allowed. Fortunately, Wenrou was in Yuanchang City I had the experience of setting up a stall, and rented the stall in advance, so as to avoid the tragic experience of being expelled and fined by the ancient "urban management".

As soon as the stall was set up, Rourou mixed a large pot of duck, pork ribs, pork skin and chicken racks. The thick soup that had been boiled into milky white sat on a slow fire and continued to boil. After a while, the aroma overflowed.Ye Yu was standing by another spice soup pot boiled yellow, helping her to boil duck blood, vermicelli and sliced ​​fried tofu. , somewhat flustered, not as light as Gentle.

The thick duck soup is very fragrant, white water mist rises in the dim yellow light from the high-hanging lanterns, and when the wind blows, it disperses and floats away. , Standing in front of the stall, studying the ingredients boiled in the soup pot, and curiously asked what this stall was selling.

Wenrou was worried that she wouldn't know how to yell, but Ye Yu was a stuffy gourd. She was afraid that passers-by would ignore her stall, but she didn't expect some diners to come and ask, so she quickly explained that she was selling duck blood vermicelli soup, saying When she was talking, if Ye Yu hadn't been winking at her, she would have almost forgotten her principle that silence is golden. Fortunately, she stopped her mouth in time, and poured a spoonful of old duck soup into the seasoning bowl. Pour in hot duck blood, vermicelli and oily tofu, then sprinkle finely marinated duck gizzards, duck intestines and duck liver, sprinkle with shallots, and a bowl of steaming duck blood vermicelli soup is served in front of diners .

Seeing her so attentive and thoughtful, the few diners who watched the excitement couldn't bear to lose face, so they sat down and tasted it, only to find that the soup was rich, the duck blood was fresh and tender, and the duck gizzard was fragrant. I started to eat and drink without burning my mouth. A small bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup entered my stomach for a while, and I felt a warm current spread from my stomach to my whole body. On this cold spring night, I felt comfortable all over my body. I couldn’t help saying hello. Pay your bills.

There are also diners who are sitting and chewing slowly, shaking their heads and laughing while eating and watching: "I used to disdain to eat these things, but I didn't expect to mix them together and make them taste good."

He smiled gently and said: "Guests, don't underestimate this soup. It has been boiled for a long time. It is full of the essence of the duck. Drink a bowl to warm your stomach, nourish your blood and clear your lungs. Let's talk about the duck gizzards, duck intestines and duck liver. It is marinated with old marinade, the older the marinade, the better the marinade, and if you come back to eat it next time, you will feel that the taste will be even better."

Although Ye Yu's face was cold by the side, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, smiling softly and bragging, he really didn't change his face.This is the first time for them to set up a stall, where did you come from?When he watched Ruanrou's marinated duck offal in the morning, he heard her say that it's a pity that Chen Lu didn't come.But the diner was all smiles when he heard it, and he chewed the duck gizzard with relish, even shook his head and sighed: "What a pity!"

"What's the pity?" Gentle asked hurriedly.

"It's a pity that the duck gizzards are not sold individually, otherwise it would be good to cut a plate and serve with wine." The diner seemed to be a drunkard, and when he mentioned wine, he asked Rou Rou: "Do you sell wine? Give it to me One bottle!"

"Wine..." Gentlely shook her head and said, "No." It's not that she doesn't want to sell it, but that the price of wine is too high, and she doesn't have enough capital. Besides, the law here strictly prohibits private brewing of wine. If she wants to sell it, she has to wait for her to make more money I'll talk about it later.

The diner was addicted to alcohol, but there was no alcohol for sale here, so he got up and left after eating in a hurry, looking for a wine stall.

Looking at his receding figure gently, biting her lower lip, she thought in her heart that when she has the money, she should really order food and drink, and then sell it with wine, maybe the business will be much more prosperous.
