The leftovers made from the leftovers in the restaurant are almost extinct in the era when Li Zhang lived, and it is estimated that except for a very few people, most other people will not eat this thing, after all, the leftovers eaten by others are very dirty in the eyes of most people.

However, the basket is dirty, but you have to admit that there are vegetables and meat in it, and after a variety of leftovers are heated, the flavors are mixed together to form a strange fragrance, which is even more attractive than the original dish, and Li Zhang also deliberately chose a location upwind to set up a stall, so that the fragrance wafts throughout the dock.

"It's so fragrant, this thing really costs a spoonful?" Niu Da sniffed the fragrance wafting from the pot, and finally the first one couldn't help but run to ask, he is a big stomach, and his mouth is greedy, but he is usually too poor, and it is rare to eat meat a few times a year, and now he smells the meat in the pot, and it is so cheap, he naturally can't hold it.

"Tong Suo is not bullied, this is the craft of Yuefeng Building on West Street, although it is leftovers, but it is cheaper, and there is meat and vegetables, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop!" Douzi has a pair of sharp teeth, and when he saw that someone was interested, he immediately began to introduce it diligently, and directly pointed out that this was the leftovers of the restaurant, which was also Li Zhang's idea, so as not to let the other party know that there would be a dispute because of this.

Niu Da is not stupid, there are vegetables and meat and it is so cheap, and then listen to the other party's words, as long as people with a little brain will know the origin of these dishes, but poor people like him are not so particular, when he was a child, when the family encountered a famine, he also followed his parents to eat, and wild dogs grabbed something to eat, so in his mind, as long as it is something that can be eaten, there is nothing dirty or dirty.

"Give me a spoonful!" Niu Da took out a copper coin and slapped it in Douzi's hand, and Douzi also shouted happily "Hao Lak~", and then personally gave Niu Dasheng a spoonful, because the other party was their first guest, so in the end he also deliberately added half a spoonful.

People have a herd mentality, and the basket is so fragrant, at least much stronger than the pickle soup that coolies often drink, plus the cow is very fragrant with a big bowl of "whirring", which makes other people hungry, and they rush to give money at the moment.

Faced with such a hot scene all of a sudden, Douzi and their children were also in a hurry, but soon they found a problem, that is, the bowls they brought were not enough, Li Zhang's family was too poor, and there were not even a few bowls, and finally there were more than a dozen broken bowls for orphans to eat, but there were only a dozen, which was not enough at all, and in the end they could only wait for the people in front of them to finish eating, and then take back the bowls.

Originally, Li Zhang prepared water and planned to wash the dishes, but he didn't expect those people to care at all, and directly took the bowls used by others and used them, but it's not strange to think about it, after all, who cares about this if they are willing to eat the basket?

A big pot of folding baskets was sold out in just half an hour, and some coolies who didn't buy them were still pestered to leave, and finally Li Zhang promised to come tomorrow, so he finally got rid of these people, and the beans had already excitedly bought thirty big cooking cakes with the money they had just earned, and then packed up their things and pushed Li Zhang to run home.

"Big brother, we have earned so much money at once, and we don't have to worry about starving in the future!" While pushing the cart, Douzi didn't forget to pull out a piece of the cookcake and stuff it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

Li Zhang was counting the money at this time, and they didn't know how to count the beans, they only knew that they had earned a lot of copper coins, but they didn't know how many, and after he finished counting, he was also overjoyed and said: "We earned sixty-four wen this morning, which is more than 1,900 wen a month, nearly two yuan of income." ”

"Two! How many cooking cakes do we have to buy, won't we be able to eat cooking cakes every day in the future? Douzi also showed an ecstatic expression again when he heard Li Zhang's words, and the other children also screamed happily, and even the steps of the cart felt much lighter.

"It's useless, I'll let you have meat to eat every day in the future, and eat until you want to vomit!" Li Zhang couldn't help laughing and scolding when he heard Douzi's words, and at the same time weighed the copper coins in his hand, excluding the fifteen wen that he had just spent on buying cooking cakes, there were forty-nine wen left, which was their first income, and it was also the capital for him to settle down in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The car returned to Yizhuang, and before Li Zhang could get down, Douzi rushed into the yard with the cooking cake and shouted: "Tanuki, ugly girl, come quickly, we have cooking cakes to eat!" ”

As soon as Douzi's words fell, there was a burst of cheering in the yard, which made Li Zhang outside the courtyard also show a rare smile, and after dividing the cooking cakes, Li Zhang deeply smelled the grain smell emitted by the cooking cakes, and he also found for the first time that the taste of flour was so sweet, and then opened his mouth and took a bite, his mind was full of two words: "It's so fragrant!" ”

In the next few days, Li Zhang divided the orphans of Douzi and Ugly Niang into two groups, Ugly Niang took a few children to work in the restaurant, and Douzi took a few children to get up early every day to sell folding baskets, and Li Zhang also asked Douzi to contact the shopkeepers and guys of other restaurants, and collected the leftovers of these restaurants at a very low price, after all, one restaurant alone could not meet the demand on the dock.

The people of this era in the Northern Song Dynasty are far less wasteful than the people of later generations, especially in terms of food, so there are not many leftovers in the general restaurant, and the good leftovers are eaten by the guys in the store themselves, and the ones that can't be eaten are poured into the swill bucket, and no one thinks about selling these leftovers for money.

With the increase in the source of folding baskets, Li Zhang's income is also rising, it only took five days, Li Zhang saved enough consistent money, which made him finally relieved, with this consistent money, he can also be regarded as having a little capital, even if he does not do the business of folding baskets, he can also rely on this capital to do some other business, at least to feed the children of Tanuki Er is no problem.

"Cut some meat, let's open meat today!" After a few days of gnawing on the cooking cakes, Li Zhang also felt that a bird was about to fade out of his mouth, although the cooking cakes Liu's cooking cakes were very strong and delicious, but it was not a matter to gnaw on steamed buns, and now that the problem of livelihood has been solved, Li Zhang feels like a big stone is missing in his heart, so he naturally wants to celebrate.

"Hao Lak~, big brother, just look at it, I will definitely spend the least amount of money and buy the most meat!" Douzi immediately agreed, and then grabbed two copper coins and ran out, and a few small followers also cheered together to buy meat, and the rest of the raccoon dog and others also looked elated, after all, in addition to eating leftovers last time, they usually rarely eat meat once a year.

Seeing the happy appearance of these children, Li Zhang couldn't help but show a warm smile, and then called a few children and told them to buy oil, salt, vinegar and other spices, after all, there is nothing at home, so you can't cook meat in plain water.

After a while, Douzi and a few children ran back happily, but Li Zhang looked at the colorful things in his pocket and couldn't help but say depressedly: "Didn't I ask you to buy meat, why did you buy so much water?" ”

"It's cheap, pork is more than twice as expensive as going into the water, and isn't it also meat?" Douzi said proudly at this time, although he didn't know how to count, but he could buy more meat with the same money, he would still calculate this account.

Looking at the proud appearance of the beans, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile helplessly, but it's not bad to go into the water, as long as he can make it, the offal can also be made delicious, it just so happened that he was single for many years in his previous life, but he practiced a good cooking skill.

At the moment, Li Zhang praised the beans a few words, and then began to command the ugly lady and others to deal with these sewers, the beans almost bought a whole pair of pig sewers, the others are easy to do, the more troublesome is the intestines, some people like this thing, but some people don't even want to smell it, Li Zhang belongs to the former type, but it must be washed, otherwise the smell will be too rushed.

There are too many people, Li Zhang didn't do anything too complicated, pig heart and pig lung slices cooked a pot of pork offal soup, the large intestine is a little too much, one meal will definitely not be finished, Li Zhang is worried that it will be broken, so all of them are marinated in a pot, so even if you can't eat it, you can keep it for a few days.

The meal was ready, each person had a bowl of pork offal soup, a section of braised large intestines, and a large cooking cake, without waiting for Li Zhang to say anything, the beans and the children were like hungry wolves with a big bowl and ate violently, and a few of them ate too quickly, but they were choked and rolled their eyes, and finally Li Zhang hurriedly handed them water, so they didn't choke these hungry wolves to death.

Li Zhang's eating is not slow, the marinated large intestine is cut into slices and sandwiched in the cooking cake, the smooth large intestine is paired with soft and tough cooking cakes, and then a bite of the fragrant pork offal soup, Li Zhang feels that he is about to fly, after all, as a person who has no meat and is not happy, he has not seen a little meat for a few days, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him, and now he is finally satisfied.

After dinner, it was almost dark, the ugly girl and the civet girls were busy washing the pots and dishes, Li Zhang and Douzi and others got together to chat, mainly Douzi and they talked about some things they heard on the street, after all, Li Zhang's mobility was inconvenient, except for the first day when he went to sell the basket in person, the rest of the time stayed at home, so he needed to collect some information from the outside world through Douzi and others.

However, the range of activities of Douzi is not large, and they have never been out of Bianhe Town at the farthest, and most of the things they heard are related to this town, such as the rich man Ma on East Street accepted a concubine, and the two gangs of splashes on West Street broke their heads because of the fight for territory, etc., which is not of much value, at most it makes Li Zhang have a better understanding of the surrounding environment.

"By the way, big brother, today I heard others talk about the divine bird of that day on the dock again!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw a kid with a missing front tooth next to the bean and patted his thigh and said, this kid's surname is Zhou, because the front teeth were knocked out, Kaifeng called this kind of toothless person Huozi, so this kid is called Zhou Huozi.

"Divine Bird!" Li Zhang couldn't help but perk up when he heard Huozi's words, and asked impatiently, "Do you have any new news!" ”
