Chapter 141: The Ring
Hearing the brothers of the Salt Gang say this, Zhao Qingzao reacted at this time, they are all members of the Salt Gang, so those thieves and robbers may still be good brothers with them, but in this way, Zhao Qingzao can also be completely relieved, at least he no longer has to worry about his shop being patronized by thieves and robbers.
"Then I'll trouble you, my shop is just outside the city gate, you can go over and eat something when you have time, my cooking skills are still very good." After Zhao Qingzao was relieved, he naturally immediately smiled, and now Zhao Qingzao can prepare for the shop with peace of mind.
Because Zhao Qingzao's cooking skills are very good, he must sell food in the shop, no matter what, he finally has a place to live in Biancheng, so Zhao Qingzao is still very happy in his heart, but when he thought that Shen Changting was in Biancheng, he didn't want to see him for a long time, Zhao Qingzao showed a depressed look again.
"Sister Qingzao, when our boss comes back, we will patronize your shop." Several brothers of the Salt Gang said to Zhao Qingzao with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao said a few words to the brothers of the Yan Gang, and then returned to the shop with Xiaocao, because it was outside Biancheng, so it was still very inconvenient for Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao to travel, but fortunately, the city gate would be closed very late, so even at night, Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao could also go into the city to have a look.
Zhao Qingzao's biggest worry is that he will meet Shen Changting on the street, but if you think about it carefully, Shen Changting eats and drinks spicy food in Biancheng, maybe he won't remember himself for a long time, and it is impossible to recognize Xiaocao as his son, so Zhao Qingzao can also rest assured.
"Mother, I want to go to the city to play." Xiaocao had just returned to the shop, and immediately said to Zhao Qingzao.
"Let's go back in a few days, my mother still has to clean the shop, let you go to the city to play alone, I don't worry." Zhao Qingzao didn't think about it, so she shook her head directly and said, although Xiaocao is a smart child, she is only three years old in the end, so how can she rest assured that Xiaocao will go to the city to play alone? What should you do if you meet a bad guy?
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiaocao pouted unhappily, there are many things in Biancheng that Xiaocao can't see in the town, so he can't wait to go to the city for a walk, who knows that Zhao Qingzao actually disagrees, of course Xiaocao feels wronged.
"Xiaocao, my mother will take you to the city to play in two days." Zhao Qingzao saw that Xiaocao didn't move, so he turned his head to look, and found that Xiaocao was sitting on the stool with a depressed face, Zhao Qingzao sighed, walked to Xiaocao and touched his head, and then said to Xiaocao.
Hearing this, Xiaocao answered in a muffled voice, and didn't say anything more, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't bother to pay attention to Xiaocao anymore, she felt that she still had to discipline Xiaocao, lest Xiaocao become more and more willful, and it would be even more difficult to manage when the time came.
Seeing that Zhao Qingzao didn't take care of himself anymore, Xiaocao flattened his mouth, so he ran to play outside the shop, Zhao Qingzao turned his head to look, and found that Xiaocao was squatting on the ground to write and draw, and then didn't pay attention to him, but began to clean the shop.
Sweeping the floor, wiping the dust, placing tables and chairs, Zhao Qingzao was busy for several hours, and then the shop was cleaned, Zhao Qingzao liked the neat and clean environment the most, so the whole person would be a lot happier, so looking at the shop that was cleaned by himself, Zhao Qingzao showed a satisfied smile.
At this moment, Zhao Qingzao's stomach suddenly sang about the empty city plan, she realized that it was already evening, remembering that she and Xiaocao had not eaten yet, Zhao Qingzao planned to take Xiaocao to the city to have a good meal, and after eating a full meal, she could also go shopping by the way, which was indeed a very good choice.
"Xiaocao, my mother has taken you into the city for dinner." After Zhao Qingzao locked the door, he said to Xiaocao.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiaocao, who was originally sullen, immediately threw away the stick in his hand, then jumped up and said with a smile: "Great, mother." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao shook her head with a little crying and laughing, she really didn't know why Xiaocao wanted to enter the city so much, let alone why Xiaocao liked Biancheng so much.
walked into the city with Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao found a restaurant that looked good, and then ordered a few dishes of sweet and sour fish, braised tofu, and shredded pork with green peppers, although the taste was still not as delicious as what he made, but it was okay, so Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao both ate very happily.
After eating, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiao Er to come over to settle the bill, but these dishes cost Zhao Qingzao a tael of silver, Zhao Qingzao reluctantly paid for the dishes, and when she came out, she kept muttering that the consumption of Biancheng was really high, and it cost one or two silver to eat such a few dishes, and the little money she saved might only be enough for herself and Xiaocao for a year.
"Mother, what are you doing so fast?" Xiaocao followed behind Zhao Qingzao and asked.
"I'm sorry, Xiaocao, my mother was counting the money just now." Zhao Qingzao turned his head and picked up Xiaocao, then said to Xiaocao.
At this moment, Xiaocao's eyes lit up suddenly, pointed not far away, and said to Zhao Qingzao: "Mother, what is that?" Let's go over and take a look. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao looked in the direction pointed by Xiaocao, but he didn't expect to see a group of people in a circle, and he didn't know what he was looking at, because there were adults and children in the crowd, so Zhao Qingzao walked over with Xiaocao with confidence.
"I'm fishing for goldfish." After Zhao Qingzao saw what this group of people was doing, he said in surprise.
"Mother, what is goldfishing? I haven't fished for a goldfish yet. Xiaocao had never seen this kind of thing, so he naturally felt very novel, and when he heard what Zhao Qingzao said, Xiaocao immediately said to Zhao Qingzao.
After putting Xiaocao down, Zhao Qingzao gave Xiaocao a few copper plates and asked him to catch goldfish by himself, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Qingzao looked around, wanting to see if there was anything interesting, but he didn't expect to see a shop not far away in the ring, and there were many people gathered around, Zhao Qingzao felt a little interesting, so he planned to go over to see what was going on.
Seeing that Xiaocao was squatting on the ground and playing very energetically, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaocao to stay here, and then walked to the ring, wanting to see what was going on.
"Big brother, why is there a ring here?" Because there were people all around, Zhao Qingzao couldn't squeeze in at all, and naturally he didn't know what was going on, so Zhao Qingzao asked a man next to him.
"The owner of this shop said that the dim sum he made was the best in Biancheng, so he set up this ring, and if anyone could defeat him, he would take out three hundred taels of silver as a bounty." The man glanced at Zhao Qingzao, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao immediately became a little nervous, this ring seems to be set up for her, if Zhao Qingzao can defeat the owner of the shop, not only can he get three hundred taels of silver, but also can expand the reputation of his shop, then there will be many people until her cooking skills are good, run to patronize her shop, this is simply a great opportunity for advertising, Zhao Qingzao will definitely not miss it.
"Has anyone beaten the shop owner so far?" Zhao Qingzao continued to ask.
"No, we've all been here for a long time, and no one has made any more dim sum than the shop owner." The man shook his head and said.
Hearing the man say this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but be a little worried, although his cooking skills are very good, but this shop owner seems to have two hits, in case he can't compare to him, he can't get the bounty, but it will affect the reputation of the shop.
However, after hesitating for a while, Zhao Qingzao still decided to give it a try, she had just come to Biancheng, and the shop had not opened, if you wanted to survive in Biancheng, you must cherish every opportunity, and you can't miss it easily.
"I'm going to challenge!" After Zhao Qingzao thought it through, he raised his hand and said loudly.
As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Qingzao, and after finding that Zhao Qingzao was just a round-faced village girl, everyone muttered disdainfully, as if they all felt that Zhao Qingzao was here to make trouble, not to challenge at all.
"Girl, do you really know how to make snacks?" After the shop owner saw Zhao Qingzao's appearance clearly, he also asked suspiciously.
"What? Don't I look like someone who can make dim sum? Although dim sum is a delicate job, you can't judge people by their appearance, don't village girls make dim sum? Zhao Qingzao knew what the shop owner and the people around him were thinking, so he said loudly.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, the person who was muttering immediately stopped talking, and the shop owner also asked Zhao Qingzao to come to his side and said: "Girl, since you know how to make dim sum, let's start the competition now, my topic osmanthus cake, the ingredients are all here, an hour's time, let's start." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, and then looked at the ingredients on the table, osmanthus cake is actually very easy to make, as long as the ingredients are ready, you will soon be able to make this famous dim sum, but if you want to make the osmanthus cake crystal clear and melt in your mouth, you still need superb cooking skills, Zhao Qingzao looked at the dim sum on the table, and was still thinking about what to do next, but the shop owner next to him had already begun to prepare for steaming.
"Girl, why are you still in a daze, will you do it?" A passer-by saw that Zhao Qingzao had not moved for a long time, so he urged impatiently.
"What's the hurry, do you make snacks or do I make snacks?" Zhao Qingzao rolled his eyes and said angrily.
There were a lot of ingredients on the table, Zhao Qingzao pondered for a while, and finally thought of a very good note, so he rolled up his sleeves and began to make osmanthus cakes.
Because Zhao Qingzao's practice is very strange, so many people have looked at Zhao Qingzao, and began to discuss Zhao Qingzao's practice, the shop owner was waiting for the osmanthus cake to be steamed, and also turned his head to look at Zhao Qingzao's situation, but after seeing Zhao Qingzao's practice, he was also stunned, and after reacting, the shop owner nodded very appreciatively, and said that he was about to lose this time.
An hour later, Zhao Qingzao and the shop owner made the osmanthus cake, of course, the shop owner's cooking skills do not need to be doubted, the osmanthus cake is sweet and delicious, and the floral fragrance is pleasant.
In addition to being crystal clear, Zhao Qingjujube's osmanthus cake is actually colorful, so it attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was taken out.
