Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The snack street outside the school, with many street vendors, a wide variety of food and relatively affordable prices, is naturally quite attractive to school students.

Of course, the unhygienic things sold by unlicensed hawkers, the deterioration of materials, the indiscriminate use of additives and other bad deeds have been repeatedly reported in the newspapers and criticized by the society. But most of the students are lazy, usually with the mentality that out of sight is clean, and they just have their mouths full.

You must know that although the food in the school cafeteria is not expensive, the taste is very average, and it is quite good to come here to change the taste when you are tired of eating. Therefore, student customers have become the main target of various street vendors.

In the second half of the snack street, there are often some farmers riding bicycles and tricycles, selling vegetables, fruits, and small necessities. The sales target for this area is mainly for the residents of the nearby living community.

Jiang Yichen walked out of the school gate and went down the slope all the way, and the sound of hawkers shouting one after another was heard in his ears, and the aroma of various foods mixed together went straight to his nostrils.

"Spicy hot, strings of incense, authentic taste, fresh and delicious, meat and vegetarian choice." In the middle and rear of the snack street, an old woman's rough voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Yichen raised his eyes and saw that behind a stall with a shed printed with colorful food advertisements, there was a thin old woman with gray hair and slightly protruding cheekbones, who was busy shouting while working, her hands and feet were numb, and her body looked quite tough.

There are two large stainless steel soup pots on the stall car, steaming, red oil is boiling, and meat and vegetable skewers of different shapes are densely arranged in it, which is very tempting.

Jiang Yichen knows this old woman, she is the stall owner, surnamed Wu, and has been setting up a spicy stall on this street for a long time. He also patronized quite a few times.

Let's grab a bite to eat here and go. Thinking of this, he strode over.

Aunt Wu immediately recognized his old patron and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"It's Xiao Jiang, come, sit, there are many varieties today, and they are all the freshest."

Jiang Yichen nodded, walked to the table in front of the stall, and found a round stool to sit down.

"Auntie, bring me two strings of fish balls, two strings of lotus root slices, two strings of dried tofu, and six other vegetables." He began to order.

"Okay, wait a minute, soon." Aunt Wu's memory is good, and she immediately sorted out the varieties he wanted and put them on the other end of the soup pot.

After waiting, Jiang Yichen looked around, it was still early, there were not many diners, and the street was lively at night.

"Aunt Wu, how is business doing lately?" He said to Aunt Wu who was busy.

"Alas, a small business, that's it, make do with it." Aunt Wu said, as if she was not satisfied with the status quo in her tone.

It is no wonder that there are several similar businesses on the snack street, and the competition is quite fierce.

As he was talking, a bell rang out, and a crisp bell sounded. Jiang Yichen looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a blue sè women's 26 bicycle driving on, on which sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wearing a gray sè coat.

The girl has a delicate melon seed face, curved slender eyebrows, and a pair of apricot eyes with a watery aura. The skin sè is not very white, it is a light shallow wheat sè, which looks very delicate. And it seems that he has never painted makeup, his face is sweaty, and the bangs on his forehead are a little messy. A butterfly-shaped hairpin is tied behind the short black sè hair, which is the only ornament.

The bicycle drove to a stop in front of the stall, and the girl got out of the car, lowered the legs, stretched out her arms to remove the foam box from the rear rack, and carried it to the back of the stall to put it down. and raised his hand to make a gesture at Aunt Wu.

At this time, Aunt Wu had already cooked the dishes that Jiang Yi had ordered in the morning and put them on two plates.

"Xiaojia, bring the plate over." She commanded the girl.

The girl nodded, first took a yellow apron and tied it around her waist, and then picked up a plate in one hand and walked towards Jiang Yichen.

"Thank you." Jiang Yichen reached out to take the plate and smiled at her.

The girl also responded with a smile, then turned back to the back of the stall and helped Aunt Wu get busy.

Jiang Yichen also knew this girl, Aunt Wu's granddaughter, named Su Xiaojia.

Su Xiaojia is a clever girl, but unfortunately, listening to Aunt Wu, she suffered from a serious illness when she was very young, with a high fever, and has since lost the ability to speak. I have sought medical treatment many times and spent a lot of money, but I have returned in vain. Later, his father died and his mother remarried, so he had to follow Nǎinǎi to do a small business together to make a living.

Jiang Yichen took out a handful of chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table, put the spicy hot skewers on the plate in turn, and then began to eat.

Malatang is also called Chuanchuan incense, is a kind of popular civilian food, with pepper, dried chili, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, bay leaves, grass fruit, meat buttons, dark soy sauce, bean paste, green onion and other seasonings boiled into bone broth water to make soup.

As for the variety of ingredients, there are countless varieties, whether it is vegetables, potatoes, soy products, mushrooms and other vegetarian food, or fish, pigs, cattle and sheep and other meat and water, can be included in this boiling red soup.

It tastes spicy and fragrant, stimulating and refreshing, and is very popular with the public in both the north and the south.

On Aunt Wu's stall, the vegetarian skewers are six cents a string, and the meat skewers are two pieces a piece. Under normal circumstances, you can have a full meal for about a dozen yuan, which is very affordable.

Jiang Yichen slowly tasted the food on the plate, to be honest, compared to similar products he had tasted, the taste here could only be regarded as average, and there were no outstanding features.

However, once chatting with Aunt Wu, I heard her say that she never added flavor enhancers such as tobacco shells and headache powder to her soup pot, which are commonly used by many peers. Although it can make the food taste more delicious, it is harmful to the human body, and she doesn't want to make this kind of money.

Jiang Yichen has visited this stall many times, and another important reason is that whether it is the soup pot, cutting board, dishes, and bamboo sticks, they are all handled very cleanly, including the ground near the dining table, and there is not a trace of garbage. This is in stark contrast to quite a few other stalls, and it makes people feel very comfortable.

At this time, two more customers came, Aunt Wu hurriedly opened Luo, and Su Xiaojia was busy cutting vegetables and skewers in the back.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Yichen wiped out all the food on his plate. Then he counted the bamboo sticks on the side, took out eight four cents from his wallet, and put them on the table.

"Auntie, I'm done eating." He said hello to Aunt Wu and got up to leave.

"Xiao Jiang, you are an old customer, this discount, only charge you seven yuan. I'll come back next time. Aunt Wu took out a piece of four cents from the money on the table and stuffed it back.

"Hehe, thank you then." Jiang Yichen shirked it first, after all, it is not easy for others. But Aunt Wu still insisted, and had no choice but to follow her wishes.

Before walking past the stall car, he greeted the girl who was busy with work.

"Sister Xiaojia, I'm leaving."

Su Xiaojia raised her head, opened a warm smile, and stretched out her left hand and waved it at him. This made Jiang Yichen's mood suddenly happy.
