Chapter Twenty-Six: Find Out
South Street is indeed in the opposite direction of the restaurant, but Zhao Siniang has never taken the usual path.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhao Siniang walked past a few shops in the direction of South Street, and after she concluded that Zhao Yongzhong couldn't see her, she dodged into a back alley and went around again.
After walking for a while, Zhao Siniang felt that she was almost at the location of the restaurant, so she walked out of the alley. Looking sideways, she was standing right next to the restaurant.
There are many restaurants on the most prosperous South Street and North Street in Changle Town, and Zhao Siniang has always thought that the best restaurants are gathered on those two streets. Who knew that this restaurant was inconspicuous from the outside, but when Zhao Siniang stood sideways at the gate of the restaurant and looked in, she only felt that it was simple and elegant inside, revealing the precipitation of history. She sighed in her heart: I didn't expect that this not very famous street would hide such a time-honored brand with a lot of age. However, it was already time for dinner, but there were not many people sitting inside. Alas, it's really "the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys"! The location of the restaurant is very important!
Zhao Siniang sighed and began to open her eyes to find someone. But she swept the five tables of guests downstairs twice, but she didn't find the man and woman with children. Is it sitting on the second floor? But she can't go to the second floor to find someone! Unable to satisfy her curiosity, she was disappointed.
"Little girl, where are you from?"
"Jiangjiatan."
"Jiangjiatan? Do you want to sell fish? ”
"Selling fish?" No, I'm here to peep. Uh, who's talking to her?
Zhao Siniang, who realized it later, realized that there was an old man about the same age as Old Man Jiang standing in front of her, wearing a sauce-colored cocoon silk robe, looking at her kindly.
"Are you the shopkeeper of this restaurant?" Zhao Siniang asked with some weakness. I ran around and peeked inside, and I was caught red-handed!
Shopkeeper Wang of Qingfeng Building nodded with a smile.
Just now he was taking inventory, and suddenly found a little girl standing at the door and looking for a long time, but he didn't see her come in, so he came over to ask the little girl about her intention.
I heard the little girl say that she was from Jiangjiatan, and he knew that place. He would occasionally go to Jinghai County, and if he didn't choose to take a boat by land, he would be there every time he got on and off the boat. So he knew that it was a poor fishing village, with barren land and little to produce except fish and shrimp. Their restaurant is close to the market, and there are often some people who come to the market to sell some local products, so he guesses that this little girl is here to sell fish. It's just that their restaurant has a fixed supplier, and they won't buy the local products brought by the villagers casually.
"Yes, you came all the way from Jiangjiatan to sell fish, right? Our restaurant doesn't buy goods from the outside casually......" Shopkeeper Wang saw that the little girl was constantly looking at him with her starry eyes, and couldn't help but pause when she wanted to say no, and changed her words: "Hmm...... But it's okay to buy less. How many fish are left in your house today? If it's not much, take it! "The love of beauty has existed since ancient times. Shopkeeper Wang saw that this extremely beautiful little girl was wearing an earthy yellow coarse cloth dress, and her slightly thin cheeks were slightly red from the cold wind of spring, and she looked more and more pitiful, and couldn't help but feel compassion. He thought to himself, Zuo is just a gesture, if you can help, help this little girl!
"Would you like to buy my fish?" Zhao Siniang was pleasantly surprised. Although she didn't have such a plan before, it was a good thing that someone would buy their fish! No matter how much it can be sold, it will definitely make the old man Jiang, who can't sell the fish smoothly all day long at the dock, happy.
"Not bad! Where's the grown-up girl, let him bring the fish!" Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.
Zhao Siniang was stunned, where did she become a fish now? Old Man Jiang hasn't gone fishing for the past two days, and today she has to buy fish balls from others!
Zhao Siniang pondered: If the shopkeeper is willing to let her send the fish again tomorrow, she will let the old man Jiang go out to fish. But after thinking about it, the business in the shop has not stabilized, and Mr. Jiang may not be able to leave; Second, even if the price of fish in the town is higher than that on the wharf, the shopkeeper also said that as long as it is a small amount, it is estimated that it will not make a few dollars. Instead of selling fish, it's better to ......
"Grandpa, actually, I didn't come to sell fish, but to sell fish balls." Zhao Siniang lied without changing her face.
"Fish balls? What's that? Shopkeeper Wang said curiously.
"Fish balls are a food that is mainly made from fish. Our family fishes every day, eats fish every meal, and eats all the flocculents. On a whim, my mother created a new way to make fish, and our family has eaten fish all their lives, and they all think this fish ball is very delicious. So I thought, maybe there will be a restaurant willing to buy it, so let me come and ask. Zhao Siniang continued to talk nonsense.
"Oh? A new way to make fish? "Shopkeeper Wang has been running a restaurant for 30 years, and I heard that someone has created a new kind of food, and it is false to say that he is not interested.
"Grandpa, I just came here today to ask, and I didn't bring fish balls. Why don't I bring some over for you tomorrow? It's not delicious, and I won't let you buy it! Zhao Siniang patted her chest and promised.
When the shopkeeper Wang saw the little girl's childish and cute little face, he put on a portrait of an adult, and couldn't help but smile and responded: "Well, that's done!" ”
Zhao Siniang said goodbye to Shopkeeper Wang, and was stopped again as soon as she walked out of the restaurant. She chuckled in her heart, could it be that the shopkeeper had changed his mind and didn't let her come again tomorrow?
"Little girl, this is a dim sum made by our restaurant, you can take two pieces back and taste it!" I saw that the shopkeeper Wang sent a bag of snacks wrapped in oiled paper to Zhao Siniang, and said to her with a smile.
Zhao Siniang was stunned and speechless for a while.
Shopkeeper Wang thought that Zhao Siniang was embarrassed, and felt more and more pity for her, so he insisted on stuffing the dim sum into Zhao Siniang's hands.
Zhao Siniang came back to her senses and thanked her again and again before leaving.
No one knew that the vanity in Zhao Siniang's heart had exploded at this time.
I didn't think I would have it today!
recalled that more than ten years ago, when she was a little Lori in her previous life, she went to the night market with her cousin. In front of a headdress stall, she flipped a few times and asked the stall owner a few questions, and the stall owner looked impatient. But her cousin was rummaging around there, picking and choosing, and the stall owner was pleasant in the whole process. In the end, my cousin took a fancy to a pair of rustic clips and planned to pay for them, but was stopped by the stall owner. All right! Even if it's worthless, you can't afford to be a businessman without taking money from others, right? Besides, you're a stall owner! We've all walked a long way, and I can still hear you exclaiming, "I've never seen such a cute little girl in my life!" Standing beside her cousin, she felt that her young heart was deeply damaged, and she had been resentful for nearly twenty years.
Holding the bag of dim sum, Zhao Siniang couldn't help but be complacent: This bag of dim sum is much more valuable than that pair of clips! Finally, some people think I'm cute!
Tsk, it is said that God will close a door for you, then it will definitely open another window for you, and it really makes sense! So Zhao Siniang's complaints about this pit father crossing were all gone.
But this person, once he is carried away by joy, becomes very irrational.
Zhao Siniang, who prides herself on being cautious, also made a very low-level mistake, she actually walked back to the blacksmith shop with such a swagger, which surprised Zhao Yongzhong, who was standing at the door waiting for her to come back.
"Siniang, didn't you go to South Street to buy candy? How did you come back from that direction? Zhao Yongzhong was shocked.
"Eh, what is this......" Zhao Siniang, who was falling into narcissism and couldn't extricate herself, finally came to her senses, and her mind was still a little hot, and she was speechless for a while.
"You still ran to that restaurant?" Zhao Yongzhong was entangled in his heart.
"Hmm." has been arrested, and Zhao Siniang can't rely on it if she wants to.
"So, did you see it all?" Zhao Yongzhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then asked.
"I ...... I did see it, and when I saw who it was, I was shocked! Zhao Siniang wanted to deny it, but when she saw Zhao Yongzhong's self-defeating appearance, she thought: Why not cheat him?
Sure enough, the loyal and honest Zhao Yongzhong immediately took the bait, and said with an embarrassed face: "Your second uncle...... Alas, this matter is very troublesome, what if your second aunt knows! ”
Zhao Siniang sneered in her heart: Who should I be? It turned out to be Zhao Yongnian! Hum! kept saying that the shop business was not good and could not make money, so it turned out that all the money was posted to the little wife!
"Siniang, if we go back to Zhaojia Village in the future, you must not say anything! Otherwise, your second uncle's family will be ruined! Zhao Yongzhong saw a sneer on the corner of Zhao Siniang's mouth, he was very worried that his little daughter, who had strong combat effectiveness, would make this matter known to everyone at that time. To tell the truth, the old Zhao family sent them away under the pretext that the shop was not profitable, and only gave them three rooms and 500 yuan, and he was not uncomplaining in his heart. There's no way around it! Those are his own parents and brothers, and he has to defend them!
Zhao Siniang nodded and promised: "Dad, don't worry!" Siniang, I have a sense of proportion, and I will never talk nonsense! "I won't just talk nonsense, but I'll state the facts. Zhao Yongnian, let you report false accounts! You just wait, if you don't die, you will be skinned!
Of course, Zhao Yongzhong couldn't hear Zhao Siniang's heart, and felt that his little daughter was not only sensible but also very well-behaved, and he was very pleased.
