Chapter 47: Knife Cutting Noodles
Jiang Er smiled politely at Zhang Yuanyuan and replied, "It's okay, you go, just take a look!"
Zhang Yuanyuan is usually very respectful to all kinds of sacred, and he also feels that this fortune teller has a doorway, so he is a little in awe, and he was really looked at by Jiang Er just now, so he came to interrogate, and he didn't think about looking for trouble in his heart, so he was ready to turn around and leave.
But just as Zhang Yuanyuan turned around to leave, Jiang Er patted Erlin's calf behind him with his hand, Erlin had already memorized the words for several days, just waiting for Jiang Er to send a message, at this time Jiang Er patted his leg, and immediately clapped his hands stupidly and said: "Broom star, broom star, hey hey broom star." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan, who had already walked out, listened to the movement behind him, looked back again, and saw a big man behind the fortune teller, clapping his hands and shouting "Broom Star" while looking at himself. ”
The fire in my heart came up, and I thought to myself, "What's the situation? Setting up a stall in my own parking lot and scolding myself?" Stretched out his hand and wanted to push Erlin: "What's the situation with you kid, why are you scolding?"
Jiang Er hurriedly stood up, stopped Zhang Yuanyuan, and said, "Don't don't don't be Dagang, this apprentice is a little shrewd, don't don't." "Actually, Jiang Er is holding Er Lin, thinking that if Er Lin can't hold his hand and beats this master, things will not be easy to do.
Zhang Yuanyuan listened to Jiang Er's words, also stopped his hand, and took a step back, at this time Erlin had already suppressed his silly smile, his expression began to be hideous, and he looked like he was going to beat someone, Jiang Er hurriedly comforted Erlin: "Erlin listens to Gang, Gang will buy you baked sweet potatoes." As he spoke, he called out to a roasted sweet potato seller not far away: "Weigh the big sweet potatoes!"
Erlin heard that there was something delicious, and he didn't get angry at the moment, and jumped to the sweet potato stall to pick sweet potatoes, and that Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Erlin like this, and also determined that Jiang Er's words were true, this Erlin was a fool, so he asked Jiang Er: "Why did he scold the broom star just now?"
Jiang Er pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Dagang, it's okay, Nehe's apprentice is a foreigner, he just came to Yunshan to set up a stall, I didn't want to offend you, you are magnanimous and raise your noble hand." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Ermiansheng, his accent was somewhat Yanzhou, and he didn't want to leave the name of a bully at the moment, so he was about to leave: "Okay, okay, what's the matter, take care of your apprentice's mouth, what's the matter!"
Jiang Er said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I see that Dagang is a rich and noble man, and his heart is good, Dagang can forgive his apprentice, and he is grateful, so he will tell Dagang a truthful word." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan, who was about to leave, listened, stopped again, and asked, "What are the honest words?"
Jiang Er rubbed his hands together and said a little embarrassedly: "Ne and the apprentice didn't want to offend you, but you saw it, the apprentice is not shrewd, but his eyes are very bright, he may have seen something we can't see." After saying this, Jiang Er hurriedly pretended to lose his mouth, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Dagang, don't be surprised, you are busy, you are busy, you are talking nonsense, don't be too careful!"
Zhang Yuanyuan's most suspicious thing in his heart is the sacred issue, he was really uncomfortable to be troubled by Jiang Er, and it was not a taste of mixed tastes, but he still turned around and left, not wanting to be entangled with Jiang Er.
Jiang Er saw that Zhang Yuanyuan was gone, and when the next stone was also on the ground, his careful layout was finally started, just waiting to see the direction of things, and the business came to the door, over there Erlin was already holding a big sweet potato and eating it, Jiang Er got up and went over to pick a small one for himself, paid the money, looked at his stall and watched a little bit of the lively master, rowed to see which master could count, and was ready to finish the work.
Before Zhang Yuanyuan entered the commercial building, he felt very uncomfortable, and spit a few mouthfuls of foam into the sky: "Bah, all the unlucky things go away!" Then he entered the commercial building and looked for his office.
When I arrived at the office, I felt that I couldn't do anything, so I went out of the office and looked for a window facing the street where I could see the parking lot, and looked at Jiang Er with his hand on the edge of the window sill, and saw Jiang Er and the stupid apprentice eating sweet potatoes, indeed like a foreigner, just passing by a cleaner, Zhang Yuanyuan stopped him casually and said: "When did a fortune teller come to the parking lot?"
The cleaner recognized it as Mr. Zhang, and hurriedly said, "I've been here for a few days." ”
"Have you heard of it?" is this fortune teller accurate?" Zhang Yuanyuan continued to ask.
The cleaner had actually paid attention to this fortune teller for a long time, and had heard others say it, and then replied: "This fortune teller is strange, I heard people say that the calculation is quite accurate, but it is a little weird temper." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan heard this and hurriedly asked, "What's the strange temper?"
"This fortune teller counts two hexagrams a day, and he doesn't charge a penny, but he counts accurately, so people still give it, and he doesn't refuse to give it!" explained the cleaner.
Zhang Yuanyuan listened, waved his hand at the cleaner, went back to the office, and began to think about things, and after a while, he dialed an inside line to the security room, and shouted that the security guard came and ordered him to go down: "Why is there everyone in the parking lot, not to mention those who do small business, why are there fortune tellers?"
The security captain scratched his head and said, "Didn't Mr. Zhang say it?
Zhang Yuanyuan thought about it, he did say this, thinking that he was messing up, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's okay to go down, I mean there are many cars in and out of the parking lot, it's not safe, think about it, how can you squeeze out a lively and spacious terrain." ”
The security captain listened and thought to himself, the terrain in front of the mall is bigger, the parking lot is the most spacious, where else can he go, but he didn't dare to speak, closed the door and left.
When Zhang Yuanyuan got up again to look at Jiang Er, Jiang Er had already withdrawn from the stall and left.
Jiang Er returned to the store and saw that Bai Ying was also there, Bai Ying had memorized the face acupuncture points at home in the past few days, one was to return the notebook, and the other was to learn something new.
Knowing that a man eats dried noodles and dripping eggs every day, and the burps are all green onions, he wanted to change his mouth, so he bought tomatoes and weighed the white noodles on the way. Knowing that Jiang Er's store is not short of eggs, he is ready to make egg noodles with knives.
Bai Ying's egg dumplings had already been beaten, and when she saw that Jiang Er was back, it was also the point of the meal, and the water on the stove was also boiling, so she raised her arms and cut the noodles, and people said: "Eating knife-cut noodles is a feast for the mouth, and watching knife-cut noodles is a feast for the eyes." Watching Bai Ying use a small curved piece of iron, flying up and down the noodles in her palm, and jumping into the boiling pot like flying fish with the accuracy of the noodles, the process was really dazzling, very good-looking, Erlin also watched happily on the side, babbling and screaming.
Speaking of the history of this knife noodles can be traced back to the early Yuan Dynasty, according to legend, the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, the establishment of the early Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols in order to prevent the Han people from rebelling again, they confiscated the metal objects of each household, what kitchen knives, hoes, sickles. A notice was also erected, and ten households shared a knife and a hoe. That is to say, when it comes to cooking, you first have to go to the Mongolian people to get a kitchen knife, cut vegetables and cook, this kitchen knife has to be used in turns, and after it is used, it has to be returned to the Mongolian people for safekeeping.
One day at noon, an old man's wife had already kneaded the noodles into a ball, just waiting for the noodles to be cut into the pot, and asked the old man to get the knife, but the old man couldn't take the knife. It turned out that there were too many people in line, and the old man couldn't get a knife, so he kicked the ground in boredom, and was touched by something, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a thin piece of iron, so he took it into his arms and went home.
When I got home, I took out the iron sheet and told my wife, "Let's use this iron sheet to cut the dough!" When my wife saw that the iron sheet was thin and soft, she muttered, "How can such a soft thing cut noodles." The old man said angrily, "If you don't move, you will cut it." ”
A "cut" word reminded the wife, she put the dough on a wooden board kneaded, left hand up, right hand holding iron sheet, standing by the pot table, to the boiling water pot to "cut" the noodles, pieces of dough fell into the pot, after cooking, into the bowl, poured the marinade for everyone to eat, everyone while eating while praise, gluten, good taste, so called knife cut noodles, later the word chopping sound is not pleasing to the ear, and gradually became today's knife cut noodles.
In the early years, Bai Ying and her mother were out begging for food, but after the crazy little bell was lost, seventeen or eighteen-year-old Bai Ying worked in a knife noodle restaurant in order to make a living, and learned the technique of knife cutting noodles. ”
At lunch, everyone ate a full belly, and they should lie down to rest, Jiang Er took out a notebook from his bag and said to Bai Ying, who was sitting on the edge of the kang to rest: "Here is a mantra of broken gold, four-sided wind and eight sets of drums, you have copied it down here in the past few days, memorized it, and then taught you how to use it." ”
Bai Ying said with an embarrassed face: "Ergang, I know how to read, but I can't write." ”
Indeed, Bai Ying followed her mother when she was a teenager and began to beg for food, and the little bell also taught Bai Ying to read in her spare time, but she wrote very little, and she had no chance, this knowing words and being able to write are two different things, Jiang Er turned out the pen and paper, and asked Bai Ying to write a few words first, Bai Ying took the pen and began to write on the paper, first wrote a "Bai Ying", and then wrote a "Ruyi" Jiang Er looked at it, it was really uncomfortable, the order of strokes was wrong, not to say, the words were also written Dou Da, Ruyi was also written as Ruyi, according to her writing, a notebook could not write a paragraph.
Jiang Er sighed and shook his head helplessly, that sigh did not mean to laugh, just to feel sorry for Bai Ying's misfortune in her early years, this notebook is precious to herself and cannot be lent to outsiders, I originally wanted Bai Ying to come here every day to copy, but now I can only copy it myself and then pass it to her.
Bai Ying seemed to be a nobody, she pulled out a cigarette by herself, got on the kang with her buttocks, and smoked by herself, before Bai Ying let Jiang Er smoke, Jiang Er told herself not to smoke, so Bai Ying will not let go in the future.
Jiang Er looked at Bai Ying smoking, the appearance of the cloud spray cover was really unsightly, and asked, "Can I quit smoking in the future?"
Bai Ying smiled: "Ergang, I'm addicted, I can't quit, I don't smoke uncomfortable, besides, which big fairy doesn't light incense, no one looks at the big fairy who doesn't light incense!"
Jiang Er thought about it carefully, so he put away the notebook, asked Bai Ying to rest first, and went out to pager Xiao Siyan by himself, and asked Xiao Siyan to come over immediately and discuss something.
