13. The capital is gentle
The so-called hot dishes are fragrant, the bone-flavored aroma, the aroma of the marinated flavor is cold, and it is not publicized in advance, only when you put it in your mouth and chew it slowly, you find that the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, but now Ningxi's stall is hiding in the corner, and there is no tempting fragrance to attract guests, so she can only watch the night market gradually become lively, but her stall is not interested, Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "What can I do!" ”
Ning Xi smiled and took out a piece of pork liver from the pot, cut it into small pieces on the board, and put it on a plate: "Dear Shuangshuang, thank you for your hard work, take this out and give it to people to try!" ”
Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened: "Don't you want money to give people to eat?" ”
"Otherwise, how would others know that our food is delicious, and how would they come to buy it?"
Meng Shuangshuang thought about it, and happily went out with the plate, she was beautiful, her smile was sweet, and she shouted happily one by one, and others were willing to try it when they heard that there was something to eat for nothing, and she really invited a few guests, Ning Xi had already cleverly bought a large stack of lotus leaves from the lady who sold pastries next to her, which was used to wrap lo-mei for the guests.
After most of the night, the big pot of lo-mei that I brought out was actually sold in half.
Ning Xi happily counted the copper plates received, a small half of the lo-mei sold can be worth the cost of this large pot, and it will be sold again later, but it will be a net profit, if you can earn a hundred wen a day, then the family of three will not have a problem with eating and rent, and after saving money every few days, you can also make new clothes for Shuangshuang, she looks so good-looking, and she is too wronged to wear these gray cloth clothes. Ozawa's clothes also have to be cut new, children grow up fast, especially expensive clothes, the fabric does not need to be too expensive, just strong and comfortable.
Just as he was thinking about the beauty, Meng Shuangshuang suddenly came back in a huff and put the plate on the board car: "What's so great about being rich!" Why bully! ”
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Ning Xi hurriedly asked.
Meng Shuangshuang pointed to the man who was walking over with two servants not far away: "That's the person, relying on his own stinky money, and drove away all the other guests." "The man's head is tied with a golden crown, his robe is embroidered with gold threads with intricate patterns, and he holds a mutton fat white jade folding fan, and the hand holding the handle of the fan is fairer than that of an ordinary woman, and his face is handsome, but it is a pity that a pair of peach blossom eyes look like a romantic one.
Ning Xi stepped forward and blocked Meng Shuangshuang: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Bold! How dare you talk to our prince like this, do you still want to do business? A servant came up and shouted.
"If it's a serious guest who comes to buy something, we will naturally entertain it, but if it's a troublemaker, then don't blame us for being polite." Ningxi Road.
That Shizi suddenly slapped his palms with a folding fan and smiled: "What a spicy little lady, it's really delicious!" Who says we're not serious guests anymore? Come on, buy all the rest. ”
Ning Xi looked at the passers-by who came up, and suddenly twisted his neck: "I'm sorry, we don't sell it!" ”
Picking up a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other, the "bell" rang out: "Come on, come on, try the lo-mei for free, don't miss it when you pass by, you have a share!" ”
Seeing that some people were hesitating, he picked up a plate of chicken feet and handed it to passers-by: "Come on, come, take one and taste it." Walking up to the son, he walked around expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, let me go." ”
Seeing that there were more and more passers-by rushing up, the prince was so angry that his face turned pale, stretched out his fan and pointed at Ning Xi, wanting to say something, but suddenly lowered his hand again, paced his feet fiercely, flicked his sleeves and left, two servants hurriedly followed, one of them said: "Where are the village women from, why doesn't the prince give them a little color?" ”
The other said: "What kind of bad idea do you want, and you want our prince to let the prince be grounded?" Shizi, to deal with such little people, where do you need to take action, the minions will find someone so that they can no longer set up stalls here. ”
The son waved his hand: "No, that's too cheap for them, I just want to play with them, come, come with me to Quanjufu!" ”
Ningxi most of their pots of lo-mei were quickly distributed, everyone ate and shouted delicious, and asked where to buy, Ningxi said loudly: "Thank you for your support, in the future, our sisters will do business here every day, from tomorrow, within three days, buy a catty of lo-mei and get a catty, everyone should eat deliciously, introduce relatives and friends to patronize, bring a friend to buy, free half a catty of lo-mei!" ”
The crowd cheered.
Meng Shuangshuang's heart twitched, and he whispered: "You send the Fa like this, is it a loss?" ”
"Don't worry, it's okay, I've calculated everything, I can't lose."
Meng Shuangshuang relieved his heart at this time, and said with a sweet smile: "Uncles and aunts, big brothers and sisters, our sisters have just arrived, and I hope you will take care of you!" ”
At this time, the lady who was selling pastries next to her said worriedly: "Girl, you have offended the prince of Qi, you should be careful in the future!" ”
"Hey, that's the prince of Qi?" Ning Xi was surprised, the west city where they lived was an area of civilian life, and the east city was the place where dignitaries and nobles came and went, and she always thought that the people who could visit the night market here were at most just some rich people doing business.
Meng Shuangshuang asked in hindsight: "Are we in trouble?" ”
Ning Xi asked the lady who sold pastries: "How is the prince of Qi Shizi?" ”
The eldest lady sighed and whispered to Ningxi: "That's a well-known little overlord, but recently I heard that the family is strictly controlled, and it doesn't cause much trouble." ”
Meng Shuangshuang patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, they shouldn't worry too much about us little people!" ”
Ning Xi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything illegal, even if they are powerful and powerful, they can't do anything to us." ”
The eldest lady looked at them and shook her head, and sighed secretly, these little girls, they really don't know the height of the sky, in the hands of others, you are like an ant, rubbing the round and pinching flattened is not to make others happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day, Ningxi and the three of them pulled a pot of lo-mei to set up a stall in the night market, although the location was still so remote, but with the foreshadowing of the first day, the business actually became very good, even Xiao Ze also started to help pack it or was too busy, in less than an hour, a large pot of lo-mei was sold out, with a heavy copper plate in his pocket, everyone was very happy in their hearts, Meng Shuangshuang even chattered happily: "If this continues, we will soon be able to make money to open a shop, There is no need to set up stalls in the night market in the wind and rain like this. ”
In the next few days, the two of them had already forgotten about the stubble of the prince of Qi, and they were doing business in full swing and saving copper plates, Ning Xi's goal was not just to open a shop to sell lo-mei, she was going to open a big restaurant.
As soon as I came to the night market that day, I found that directly opposite their stall, a tall shed had been erected, and the gold-lettered signboard "Quanjufu" was gorgeously hung on the shed.
"What's going on?" Ning Xi grabbed a passerby and asked.
Others don't know, but they only tell that Ningxi "Quanjufu" is a famous high-end restaurant in the capital, which is located on the most prosperous East Street in Dongcheng, and eating in it often costs dozens of hundreds of taels of silver, but it is not a place where ordinary people like them can afford to go.
Ning Xi felt strange, if a good official and nobleman didn't do business, what did he do when he came to this civilian community to set up a stall? Could it be that business is not good now, and it is necessary to diversify operations?
However, his own small business has nothing to do with them, Ning Xi thought, maybe relying on the influence of the famous brand effect, he can also bring a lot of traffic to his own stall opposite!
It wasn't until another red silk signboard was uncovered on the opposite side that Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang were dumbfounded, and the big red letters on a black background were written with the words "Secret Lo Mei".
What are you doing? Obviously, customers in the past few days have said that they have never eaten such delicious meat, so it can be seen that there is no such thing as lo-mei in this world, is it really the world of rich people that we don't understand?
"Isn't this a clear sign that you want to steal business from us?" Meng Shuangshuang crossed his waist and said.
"Don't worry, let's see the situation first!" Ning Xi could naturally see that Quanjufu was not good, but she was not very nervous, anyway, she didn't just make a kind of food for lo-mei, she chose this at the beginning just because the raw materials were cheap, and they also made some money these days, so it was not difficult to change to others.
Quanjufu's lo-mei stalls soon opened with gongs and drums, and because of the local adults' siblings, the organization is also very clear, one side is a free tasting, and the other side is a window for sale, the goods are similar to those sold in Ningxi, all of them are some pigs in the water and the like, as well as chicken heads and chicken feet, duck neck and goose paws or something, they are big, and the color looks black and bright.
The people of Xicheng have heard the reputation of Quanjufu for a long time, and they have not had the opportunity to eat because of their purses, and now they can try the craftsmanship of Quanjufu for free.
Some people originally came to buy Ningxi's lo-mei, but when they saw the excitement here, and the lo-mei produced by Quanjufu, they were all crowded over there, and Ningxi was naturally snubbed.
Meng Shuangshuang looked at a large pot of lo-mei that he hadn't sold at all, and said worriedly: "What can I do about this!" ”
Ning Xi savored the lo-mei that Xiao Ze went to line up to get back, and suddenly showed a smile: "It's okay, don't worry!" ”
"What kind of care, everyone has run out, you are still in the mood to eat here!" Meng Shuangshuang said angrily.
"You eat too!" Ning Xi used chopsticks to clip a small piece of the lo-mei produced by Quanjufu into Meng Shuangshuang's mouth.
"What's so delicious!" Meng Shuangshuang chewed two mouthfuls impatiently, and suddenly spit it out, "What's it, it's hard to eat." ”
Ning Xi smiled: "Their family's braised liver!" ”
"I say, why is it so fishy."
"That's why I said don't worry!"
"Ah, I understand, they are still so famous, what kind of craftsmanship, even one toe of our family Ningxi can't compare!"
The two of them hugged their chests for a long time, looking at the lively Quanjufu stall in front of them.
"Ningxi, look, who's here again." Meng Shuangshuang suddenly pointed diagonally forward.
Ning Xi raised his eyes, who was the son and brother who was shaking a folding fan and dressed like a peacock on a cold day, who was not the prince of Qi?
