Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 43

Smiling and seeing off these generous and personable diners, Nan Yan and Xiang Mei hugged happily to celebrate.This is the opening of a business, and the opening of the business has sold so many things, which can be described as auspicious.

As expected, with the opening of business, people who stop one after another are willing to come forward to buy.There are some people who don't want to take the lead, but like to follow suit.

If someone buys it, you won't have to worry about more diners coming to patronize.As expected, more than 20 customers came to buy one after another at noon.

Nanyan and Xiangmei took the trouble to explain the meaning of the names of these three foods, and offered to invite people who came to the stall to taste them first. If they thought it was delicious, it would not be too late to buy.

Nan Yan's food is relatively expensive. After all, it is a very novel type of food. The common people have never seen it before, and the taste is indeed very unique. Naturally, some people are willing to buy it.

"Sister Yan, it's only this morning, and we've already sold less than half of it." Xiangmei was overjoyed. This was the first time she had done business since she grew up. She was both curious and excited.

Since it was the first time to set up a stall to sell snacks, Nan Yan didn't prepare a lot. If they couldn't be sold, the food would be stale after a long time.The first few stalls were based on experimentation, and it is not too late to calculate the amount of snacks that need to be prepared every day when the source of customers is stable.Nan Yan thought so.

"Mei'er, I've worked hard for you today, go back and Sister Yan will pay you!" Nan Yan deliberately imitated the tone of the boss, and said to Xiangmei with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Boss Nan!" Xiangmei mischievously changed Nan Yan's address.

The two brought out some dry food, ate some at noon, and continued to do business with enthusiasm.

By noon, the food wrapped in ice cubes in the food storage bucket had gradually bottomed out, and there was not much left.This is a very successful business opening. At least Nan Yan understands that people in this era are willing to try new things, which has laid a solid foundation for her to realize her further and bigger wishes in the future.

"Mei'er, we can go home after selling this point!" Nan Yan said with a smile.

"Ah, it's sold out so quickly, it's still early. Selling things is much more interesting than working in the fields." Mei'er teased with a cute smile.

This business is doing well, and naturally it feels great.If no one cares about it all day long, watching Xiangmei will never be interesting.

While speaking, four more guest officials came, among the four, the first two were gorgeously dressed and aggressive.One looked to be over fifty years old, and the other looked to be in his early twenties.The two men who followed behind couldn't talk about how dazzlingly they were dressed, but they were well-dressed, simple and elegant, and there was a bit of heroism in their bones.

At a glance, Nan Yan knew that the two behind were the attendants of the two in front, but the temperament of the attendants was so outstanding, far surpassing the five Pianpian sons who opened the business, let alone the two masters in front. How powerful.

"Girl, I noticed a lot of people in front of your stall from far away. When I got closer, I found that the names of the things you sell are also very special!" The older owner put his hands behind his back. , shoulders broad and straight.

Seeing this person approaching him, Nan Yan continued to greet him with a smile, "Yes, I made you laugh!" She said modestly.

"No, no, I think this is very good. It gets rid of the vulgar business model and brings people a refreshing visual and taste effect." The elderly master smiled kindly, "The girl is so talented, she must be talented. It’s not shallow, can I learn a thing or two?”

"Miss, would you like to show your face and sing a poem or two with my father?" The young master next to him raised his lips and said with a smile.

It turned out to be father and son, no wonder there were some similarities in facial features.

"I... only have a superficial understanding of poetry, and I hope you will forgive me!" Nan Yan continued modestly.

In fact, she really didn't know what to do. In her previous life, she did have extraordinary memory and perception in literature, but in this ancient time where poetry is always in hand and song is inseparable, I think I don't have that much confidence to deal with it. After all, She is more exposed to modern literature.

"Miss is humble, why don't we try it." The elder master said gently.

Xiangmei on the side remained silent, she was just full of question marks.These people didn't buy snacks when they came to the stall, but they wanted to talk about poems, which one are they going to play?

Seeing that Nan Yan was still warmly welcoming her, she didn't say much, and just watched obediently from the sidelines.

"As the saying goes, good wine goes with good food! You have such a novel food, and passers-by say it's delicious. Naturally, this delicacy should be paired with good wine, or we can use wine to sing poetry." The elder master said.

Recite poetry with wine?Nan Yan thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up.This is great. I think back when she was a boat girl on the Slender West Lake, they had a sales task to sell local famous wines to tourists from other places. For this, she did a lot of homework and memorized a lot of ancient poems about wine.

"I'll try it, you come first!" Nan Yan made a "please" gesture and said with a smile.

The elder master nodded, raised his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "How much is life when you sing about wine? For example, the morning dew, the past is full of hardships, you should be generous, and your worries will be unforgettable. Only Du Kang can relieve your worries."

Hi!Isn't this the verse in Cao Cao's "Duan Ge Xing", in modern times, anyone who has gone to school can recite these lines, Nan Yan thought secretly, and was secretly happy.

"Girl, it's your turn." The elder master said, it was obvious that this man recited such a simple poem on purpose, in order to detect how much Nan Yan's knowledge was.

Nan Yan smiled, rolled her eyes, thought for a while, and said: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time."

This is a poem written by the famous poet Li Bai in "Will Enter the Wine".It is also a few heroic poems about wine widely circulated in modern times.

The elder master nodded in satisfaction, "Young lady is really good at learning."

Nan Yan thought, are you mocking me?This verse is also familiar, okay?

"Cut spring leeks in the rain at night, and yellow beams in the morning cooking room. The Lord said that it is difficult to meet, and you will be exhausted in one fell swoop. Ten cups will not get drunk, and the feeling will grow on purpose. Tomorrow will be separated by mountains, and the world will be boundless."

Before Nan Yan regained her composure, the elder master said this again.Needless to say, this sentence is really difficult.Although this verse has been heard somewhere, it is definitely not a verse that must be learned in textbooks.Nan Yan tried her best to search for this line through the memory of her previous life in her brain.

After a while, she smiled and replied: "This is Du Fu's "Gift to the Eight Guardians".

As soon as these words came out, the elderly master's eyes lit up, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Young lady is really very knowledgeable, I admire you!" The young master on the side sighed, clasping his hands.

"My lord, it's just that I've read this poem before." Nan Yan said modestly.

"Then, it's the girl's turn next." The elder master also made a "please" gesture.

Nan Yan scratched her head and thought about it. The opponent raised the difficulty just one step away, and she had to think of a relatively uncommon drinking poem to counter it.

She thought and thought, her eyes kept rolling, and finally said with a smile: "The bright moon shines on your seat, and the white dew touches my clothes. I advise you to fill your glass with wine and listen to my lyrics."

"This, this... sounds familiar, but I can't remember where the poem came from." The young master beside him frowned and thought, as if he was overwhelmed by the question.

The elder master still looked calm, stroked the beard on his chin, and thought: "Have you forgotten? I asked you to copy all the poems of this person when you were a child, and one of them is this .Bai Juyi's "Crazy Lyrics"."

Hearing his father's clear instructions, the young master suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, it is Bai Juyi's "Crazy Lyrics". I remember that I copied this poem and fell asleep. Blew my head, I remembered."

Nan Yan's heart was slightly shocked, she didn't expect that the elder master had such profound knowledge, as if no poems could trouble him.

"Girl, what we recited just now were the poems of famous people, of course we all know a little bit. How about we change, and recite some poems of less famous poets?" The elder master smiled provocatively.

Nan Yan had no choice but to nod.This person has a kind face, and they all make friends with poems. For Nan Yan, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. It doesn't hurt to learn more.

"Meeting in the hotel is a lot of surprises, Hou Yanfei is the first to clear the snow at dusk. The master is drunk and you are not drunk, and you will not return in the evening?" The elder master uttered poems.

This is indeed difficult. Nan Yan tried her best to recall the ancient poems she had read before, but after all, it is a human brain, not a computer, and it can quickly find answers to everything.

After thinking hard for a while, Nan Yan finally shook her head and gave up answering, because she really didn't know where this poem came from.

The old man raised his head and smiled, and said: "This is Gao Shi's "While Sending Li Shaofu to the Guest House". It's no wonder that you can't answer it. It is true that his poems are rarely widely circulated. You are so young. , It’s normal if you haven’t read it.”

Nan Yan really gained knowledge this time, she smiled knowingly, and said: "Your knowledge is something I can't compliment, thank you for letting me know a lot of verses. Then it's my turn next!"

Nanyan was full of confidence, as if she had already prepared, and blurted out, "Master Xinfeng's new wine is ripe, and the old guests return to the old hall. The fragrance of the drink contains the flowers in the north, and the bamboo in the Nanxuan is full of respect."

"This...is a good poem. There are wine and flowers, and there are bamboos in the hall. What I see in front of me is the feeling of several new and old guests drinking fine wine in the countryside surrounded by blooming flowers and green bamboos." The elderly master stroked his beard. He sighed, "Whose poem is this? I really haven't spent it."

Nan Yan replied with a smile: "These are two poems in Chu Guangxi's "Master Xinfeng". I thought it was beautiful to read, so I memorized them by heart."
