Chapter 133: The first show of the wonton stand
"It's really annoying, why did these two guys come here?" Gu Daya bent down and put her shoes back on her feet, muttering angrily.
Gu Xiaohua next to him said: "Because of the lantern exhibition in the East Market, the ships on the dock can't get ashore, the cocoons can't get in, and the silk can't go out. ”
"I said, I've never seen them in the past, and now, the mourning star has delayed me for a long time!" Gu Daya pouted.
Fang Ling listened to Gu Daya's words, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you going?" ”
"We are planning to set up a stall in the East Market to sell wontons, and we are about to leave, Brother Kui and Zhao Di are in the store, so we won't play with you." Gu Qingzhu sandwiched a bench on his left and right arms, and said with a smile.
Gu Xiaohua asked enthusiastically: "It just so happens that we are idle, do you want to help?" ”
"Okay, it's just that we already have three of us, if you want to help, help Brother Kui." Gu Daya smiled narrowly, and did not forget to squeeze her eyebrows.
"Isn't it begging!" Gu Xiaohua blushed all of a sudden, and raised her hand to hit.
The two frolicked, and Zheng Zhaodi handed a piece of cloth wrapped in her hand to Gu Qingzhu: "I caught a small flag at noon, and I inserted it on the pick for a while, which is more conspicuous." ”
Gu Qingzhu put down the bench and unfolded it to see, only to see the black cotton embroidered with the four red colors of "Ding Family Noodle Restaurant", these four words are exactly the same as on the plaque, Zhao Di doesn't know much words, and must have embroidered it as a pattern.
"It's still Zhao Di who thinks thoughtfully, Brother Qingshan, quickly find a small stick to tie it!" Gu Qingzhu shouted at Gu Qingshan, who was standing at the table in embarrassment.
Gu Qingshan didn't dare to look at Zhao Di, sighed slightly, turned sideways and went back to the backyard, and when he came out with a small stick, he had already changed into a blue gown.
When they finished picking up and going out, the sun was already setting in the west, and before they arrived in the East Market, they heard the noisy voices, the three of them quickened their pace, and the burden on Gu Qingshan's shoulders trembled, and the small banner embroidered with "Dingjia Noodle Restaurant" fluttered in the wind.
Diagonally opposite the yamen tent, there was indeed a small piece of land, and a few chairs were placed horizontally and vertically, and a few officials sitting there seemed to know that they were coming, and hurriedly got up to make room.
Gu Qingshan rested his burden, Gu Daya took out the stove, a stove of charcoal was lit in advance in the noodle restaurant, and then he stabbed it with a thin iron rod, and then picked up the pu fan and fanned it a few times, and the red flames rushed up.
The hot water in the pot was urged by the fire, and the heat came up.
"Wonton, the big wonton of Dingjia Noodle Restaurant, with a lot of filling, thin skin and fresh taste, a bowl of five words!" Gu Qingzhu stood in front of the stall and shouted with his voice open.
Her voice was crisp and melodious, like a yellow bird in a deep valley, and it was heard far away in the night that was gradually enveloping.
"Hey, the Ding family noodle restaurant has opened in the East Market?"
"I haven't heard of it, let's go, let's see, I haven't had dinner."
Out of curiosity, Gu Qingzhu shouted a few times, and there were many people around in front of the stall.
At this moment, the water in the pot was boiling, Gu Qingzhu skillfully grabbed a handful of wontons and threw them into the pot, this one seemed random, but it was specially practiced, and the error in quantity would not exceed two, just enough for a bowl.
The wontons floated in the pot for a few times, and then Gu Qingzhu neatly scooped them into a large blue-edged bowl with meat oil, shrimp skin, chopped green onions, and chopped coriander, and then added a spoonful of hot soup, which was immediately full of aroma.
Chili oil and vinegar are on the panel of the frame, by the diners to take their own, there are particular, sit on the bench, put the bowl on the panel, scoop it with a small spoon and eat slowly, there is a hurry, squat on the side of the stall, hulala, the wind and clouds have eaten, and the amount of food is large, you must buy one or two more buns or steamed buns to eat.
The stove is very hot, Gu Qingzhu uses both hands, she can make a bowl in ten breaths, there are more and more people around the taster, she can't care about collecting money, so she has to hand over the purse to Gu Qingshan, he collects money while selling steamed buns by the way, and Gu Daya runs back and forth to wash the dishes, and she can't stop for half a moment.
After being busy for a while, the sky was completely dark, and the lights of the East Market were lit up one after another, illuminating Gu Qingzhu's stall even brighter than just now.
After washing the last few bowls, Gu Daya handed the cleaned towel to Gu Qingzhu: "Look at the sweat on your hot face in front of the stove, wipe it quickly." ”
Gu Qingzhu took it, and the cool handkerchief was applied to his face, which was extremely cool, and he was too busy to take care of it, and only then did he realize that his back was wet with sweat.
"Qingzhu, the money bag is for you." Gu Qingshan returned the purse to her.
His hand sank suddenly, and Gu Qingzhu said in surprise: "So much? ”
"I'll see!" Gu Daya stretched her neck to look, only to see that the purse was already bulging.
"We've packed a lot of wontons today, enough for three days, and you're about to sell them out." Gu Qingshan pointed to the frame.
Gu Qingzhu looked over, not only were there not many wontons, but even the shrimp skin and green onions were about to bottom out, "Brother Qingshan, while there are not many people at this time, you send the money back, and then take some wontons and side dishes from the noodle restaurant, and estimate that when the people who play for a while return home, they will have to eat a bowl." ”
"Hey, I'll bring some more steamed buns and steamed buns." Gu Qingshan answered and hurried away.
Gu Qingzhu boiled the rest of the wontons, wrapped some steamed buns and steamed buns, and sent them to the officials on duty opposite, they were hungry at this time, and when they saw Gu Qingzhu sending food, they naturally took it gratefully, and if they didn't have enough to eat, they were still shy, and asked for an extra bowl of noodle soup.
Although it is said that tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, the lanterns of the entire East Market are lit up today, and even the large-scale combination lanterns that the big merchants have been covering with oilcloth have also been lit up for the first time on the bank of the Huaishui River.
Sanyang Kaitai, Wuzi Dengke, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Hundred Birds and Phoenixes all kinds of lanterns, unique shapes, brilliant and dazzling, attracting a group of lantern watchers.
People not only watch along the road, but also have the young lady of the big family, unbearable crowding, three or five together, hired a boat to watch the lanterns on the Huaishui River, the night breeze is slow, the lights and shadows are shining, and there are fine wine silk strings to accompany, but also feel that the fairy is fluttering, you can go straight to the Tianhe to invite the moon.
Gu Qingshan was in a hurry, quickly went and returned, and soon the frame was full of ingredients, in order to save charcoal, Gu Daya baked the stove, and the three of them sat on the bench and looked at the lantern exhibition.
I didn't feel that after more than half an hour, someone slowly came out, this time I didn't care about the green bamboo shouting, people looked at the banner of the exhibition, smelled the smell of meat in the cold autumn wind, and followed the heat, surrounded by, and the fire burned again.
A bowl of wontons that warmed the heart and stomach, and the tourists were satisfied, and some people specially inquired if they would come tomorrow, Gu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's still here." And when they had been promised, they all departed with joy.
Seeing that the wontons were about to be sold out again, Gu Qingzhu looked at the entrance, but three or five people couldn't stay, she was worried about her younger siblings, so she wanted to collect the stall and go back.
At this moment, a small boat stopped by the river and shouted at her stall: "Wonton sellers, send five bowls of wontons down!" ”
Gu Qingzhu turned his head to look, and saw a little guy dressed in Tsing Yi standing on the bow of the boat, squatting in the boat and smoking, the smoke pot flashing and flashing.
"The wontons will be fine for a while, but you took my bowl, how can you return it?" Gu Daya said quickly.
The little guy was impatient, and said angrily: "It's just a few coarse porcelain bowls, give you fifty yuan, can you buy a bowl?" ”
The night breeze blew the aroma of wontons onto the cruise ship, a few rich sons drank too much wine, and they wanted to eat wontons for some reason, and his son-in-law rewarded him with a lot of money, only telling him to buy it quickly, he was in a hurry to go back to his life, anyway, he had a lot of money, and he didn't care about more than 20 yuan.
Hearing him say this, Gu Daya nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." ”
Where did this come from, Gu Daya pursed her lips and smiled.
After a while, five bowls of hot wontons were handed to the boat, and the little girl in Tsing Yi paid the money, and the boat went off the shore to a large pleasure boat full of colorful lanterns and silk bamboo.
Gu Daya put up a pergola with her hands and squinted her eyes, "Qingzhu, you say, they are so rich, they will also like the wontons we make?" ”
"Silly girl, who doesn't like to eat food, what's wrong with our wontons!" Gu Qingshan said with a smile.
Gu Daya nodded: "That's right, Qingzhu's craftsmanship is good, and I learned it from Aunt Ding, and ordinary restaurants can't catch up." ”
"The wontons are sold out, let's pack up, it's time to go back." Gu Qingzhu urged in a low voice.
She gathered the scattered items one by one, and greeted the official on duty, and the three of them each took something home.
Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling couldn't wait for them, so they went back to the weaving workshop, Gu Qingying fell asleep after waiting, Zhao Di carried her to the backyard to sleep, Gu Qingsong was worried that she would wake up and be scared for a while, so she stayed in the house.
There were only Fang Kui and Zheng Zhaodi in the dining room, and there was a bulging purse on the table, they didn't dare to open it and count it, they only waited for Gu Qingzhu and them to come back with excitement.
The half-string crescent moon climbed into the blue night sky, Gu Qingshan seemed to be carrying a pick, Gu Qingzhu and the eldest girl followed behind, walking from the darkness to the light.
"You're back, sit down and rest." Fang Kui hurriedly stepped forward to take over the burden.
Zheng Zhaodi turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing out the warm food on the stove, because Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling were rare, Qingsong and Qingying were here again, Zhaodi specially made a bowl of dried vegetables and roasted meat, and cooked a fish, and some vegetables, and the dinner could be regarded as sumptuous.
The three of them were really hungry, and Gu Qingshan ate two bowls of rice in a row before he covered his stomach and leaned back on the chair with satisfaction.
"Let's count how much we've earned so far!" Gu Daya couldn't wait, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, turned around and closed the door.
Several people were excited and excited, all staring at Gu Qingzhu.
Gu Qingzhu took out another purse, which was also heavy, poured out all the money in the two purses, and actually scattered a table, relying on Gu Qingzhu alone, I was afraid that it would take a while, I really couldn't wait, so several people worked together, every ten copper plates were built together, and after a while, a money forest like a continuous pine forest in the Taihua Mountains was erected on the table.
Gu Qingzhu counted them one by one, with a total of eight hundred and sixty texts.
"Oh my God, so much!" Gu Daya covered her mouth and whispered in surprise.
This amount of money also surprised Gu Qingshan and Fang Kui, that is, yesterday, the entire noodle restaurant did not sell 800 Wen, and this night is worth selling for a whole day.
Several people in the Ding family's noodle restaurant were immersed in a huge surprise, and on a high-style cruise ship on the Huaishui River in Dongshi, a beautiful man in gorgeous clothes was holding a spoon in a daze, and in front of him was a large porcelain bowl that was completely different from the exquisite and gorgeous decoration in the cabin, which was steaming with a trace of heat.
