"Old man, you don't have to listen to their nonsense! Your noodle soup is authentic and generous! A bowl of four cents can only be bought here, and it can be sold for ten cents in other places! These hungry ghosts eat a lot of food, and your noodles are so delicious, of course they can't get enough! Seeing that Old Man Jiang looked embarrassed, the middle-aged man hurriedly said a few fair words.

The big black man touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a dry laugh: "The noodles pulled out by this little girl are so vigorous, and they are slippery in your mouth." I didn't think that a bowl of noodles would be gone! ”

"If it's gone, call it again! As long as you have thick skin, you are embarrassed to say that there are few faces! Isn't it just about four pennies? Eat with your belly open! The middle-aged man saw that several of his subordinates had eaten this noodle bowl with the bottom facing the sky, so he almost licked the bowl clean, and couldn't help but laugh: "How can our dignified men in Youzhou eat like this?" I'm not afraid of being laughed at! ”

"Big brother, you just have to say this somewhere else, we are still in Youzhou, what are you afraid of?" The big black man said with a grin, and then hurriedly said to Old Man Jiang: "Shopkeeper, serve me another bowl of noodles!" Hurry up! ”

"I want it too!"

"Bring me a bowl too!"

For a while, the voices of requests for another bowl came and went, and almost everyone wanted to eat it again.

"Guest officers, our white noodles have run out, do you like Sanhe noodles?" Zhao Sanlang, who was sent by Zhao Siniang, asked.

"Three and noodles?" The group of men wondered. They have traveled north and south for so many years, and they have never heard of such a face.

"It's made with white, cornmeal, and soybean flour mixed together. Although it is a food that our poor family came up with, it has the flavor of beans and is anti-hunger, which is definitely no worse than white noodles! Old Man Jiang explained with a smile.

"Done! Then let's try it! The strong black man took the lead in agreeing. His companions nodded their heads as well.

"I'm really sorry, the small shop didn't expect that there would be so many distinguished customers coming to the door, and the bone broth was all used up. Didn't ten guest officers order bone soup noodles before? Can I switch to belly and lung noodle soup or fish noodle soup now? Although Zhao Sanlang was young, in the face of so many murderous heroes, he still brought Zhao Siniang's words word for word without changing his face.

"Okay! I think my brother's noodle soup is good, so let's change it to that! ”

"I'm going to switch to fish noodle soup. I heard that the tofu in the fish soup is fresh! ”

The customers who had ordered the bone soup noodles responded one after another, and it just so happened that they wanted to try other soups as well!

So Zhao Siniang, who thought she would be able to rest for a while, received a new task. Tired and half dead, she had to use the dough paring knife and resigned herself to shaving the dough.

The group first admired the stunt of ramen, and now they are fortunate enough to see the unique skill of slicing noodles, and they all feel that it is too right to enter this noodle shop to eat noodles!

In this pleasant atmosphere, the group once again ate the noodle bowl to the bottom.

Finally, when it was time to meet the accounts, when Old Man Jiang and Zhao Sanlang were still thinking and calculating, Zhao Siniang directly asked Zhao Silang to be a microphone to tell the guest: "Guest officer, you and your party have shared 39 dishes of side dishes and a plate of three cents, a total of 117 cents; Twenty small bowls of tofu brain, one penny per bowl, a total of twenty pennies; 29 bowls of white noodles and 4 yuan a bowl, a total of 116 yuan; Thirty-two bowls of Sanhe noodles and one bowl of three yuan, a total of ninety-six yuan. Together, it totals three hundred and forty-nine dollars. ”

Hey? There are twenty-nine people in their group, and these three and noodle noodles, even if everyone asks for another bowl, there will be twenty-nine bowls at most? How can there be thirty-two bowls? It turned out that there were a few people who had a huge amount of food, and they ordered two bowls in one go.

Zhao Siniang, who was having fun in the bitterness, muttered in her heart when she was calculating this account: Good girl! It looks twice as long as other people, and eats twice as much! You must know that each of them ate four small dishes, a small bowl of tofu brain and two large bowls of noodles, which is more than twice as much as the usual guests.

Just when Zhao Siniang felt that they had eaten too much, the middle-aged man was thinking: They were a group of twenty-nine people, and they spent a total of three hundred and forty-nine yuan, which means that each person only spent more than a dozen yuan, but they all ate to their heart's content. Well, the food in this shop is really good and cheap! He felt very satisfied, but he didn't count the copper coins to settle the bill, but directly gave Old Man Jiang a small ingot of silver.

"This ...... Guest officer, I'm really embarrassed, our shop is small, and we can't find such a big amount of money! "Old man Jiang estimated, this ingot of silver weighs five taels, and the income of his shop in the morning is only less than 200 yuan, how can it not be enough for change!

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You don't need to look for it, the extra ones are considered to be rewarded for you!" ”

"How good is this......

The black strong man on the side couldn't help but be happy when he saw that the old man Jiang looked surprised and happy, and wanted to accept it but was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, what is this bit of silver?" If we are in the city, we will eat happily, and our eldest brother will reward ten taels or twenty taels! You just take it! ”

The group laughed and galloped out of the shop, while the people who remained in the shop surrounded the ingot of silver for a long time and did not come to their senses.

"Father-in-law, I just went back to my home, and I earned five taels of silver in the shop?" Zhao Yongzhong's face was full of incredulity.

"Yes, five taels of silver! Our boat is so good, but it was sold for this price! It's unbelievable! Old Man Jiang muttered.

"Grandpa, Dad, the money is in our own hands! Nothing to be believed! Zhao Siniang was the first to come back to her senses.

yes, that's real money! It's real money that belongs to us! was woken up by Zhao Siniang so little, and the big guys changed from disbelief to full of joy, and everyone was overjoyed.

"Siniang, you sit down and rest for a while! Grandpa will go and kill the fish he just bought, clean it up and make fish balls for you. When you're done, you can take it straight to town! As he spoke, Old Man Jiang stuffed the ingot of silver into Zhao Yongzhong's hand, and instructed: "You take this silver and take Siniang to the town for a good meal." Also, if Siniang has anything she wants to buy, don't be reluctant to spend money, buy it for her! ”

Zhao Siniang had just made more than sixty bowls of noodles, and she was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and everyone saw it. Everyone felt that it was all due to Zhao Siniang who could make so much money, so they all agreed with Old Man Jiang's decision.

Even Jiang's Although she felt that her father gave Zhao Yongzhong five taels of silver at once, and asked him to reward Zhao Siniang well, this was a bit too much. But this time, she uncharacteristically did not object, but persuaded: "The child is his father, just listen to my father, and take Siniang to the town for a while!" By the way, it's better to pull a few more pieces of cloth, and I'll make a few new clothes for Siniang! ”

"Siniang, don't worry about the business in the shop, the food we make is indeed not as delicious as yours, but it can barely be handled. And the soup is ready-made, just the noodles. Although we don't have the ability to ramen and shave, we can still roll noodles. You can go to the town in peace! Jiang Yue'e also persuaded.

Zhao Siniang is a very awkward person, if Old Man Jiang didn't propose to reward her with silver just now, she would definitely try her best to take a small head from it and save it as private money. But now that everyone is willing to take the initiative to give it to her, she doesn't want it anymore.

"No, I didn't earn this money alone, it was the result of the concerted efforts of the big guys. So I can't get this money to the town envoy with peace of mind. Zhao Siniang righteously refused.

"Siniang, ......"

Seeing that the big guy still wanted to persuade, Zhao Siniang hurriedly said: "Instead of giving this money to me, it is better to be the principal of our shop!" We can use it to build a house as a shop. ”

"The house?" The big guys were stunned, they never dared to think that they could build a decent house to make a shop, and they would be content to have a grass hut to do business.

"I thought that I would build a grass hut to block the light rain, which meant that it was enough, and I didn't expect it to be able to block the wind and rain. After all, our shop is mainly going to do the business of the porters on the dock, and if they really encounter a storm, they will not be able to work, right? But I really came here to do business for two days before I realized that the wind near the dock is really not small! Everyone looked up and saw that most of the reeds on the grass hut had been blown away by the wind. If it really rains, even if it's a light rain, our shop's business can't be done! Zhao Siniang frowned.

In fact, there is no need for everyone to look up at all, because they have already found out. They are also vaguely worried: this grass shed is too simple, thanks to God's willingness to give face, there has been no wind and rain in the past two days, and the business has gone smoothly. But this weather is like life, there are sunny and cloudy, and there is no guarantee that one day there will be a violent storm, and then business will not be done. But the situation at home forced them not to dare to think deeply, so they could only do one day at a time.

"In the past, we didn't have money, but now we have money. Five taels of silver is not a small amount, although it may not be able to build a large house of blue bricks, but it should be enough to build a decent earthen house as a pavement. With a house, our shop can no longer be afraid of wind and rain, and our business can last longer! ”

Listening to Zhao Siniang say this, the worries in everyone's hearts dissipated all of a sudden, and all their eyes were shining, as if they saw the bright future of the shop.
