Sun Laohan's vegetable stall is placed at the mouth of the alley not far from the city gate, usually a basket of vegetables is sold out in less than an hour, today he shouted until his throat was almost hoarse, and a bundle was not sold, and there were many people passing by, all of them were in a hurry.

As soon as he asked, it turned out that everyone went to a restaurant in Jinmingchi to line up for dinner. Sun Laohan looked at the sky, but at the end of the hour, he said strangely: "Go to the restaurant for breakfast?" ”

When is it popular to go to a restaurant for breakfast? However, he didn't care about the new fashion in the capital, he just wanted to sell two baskets of vegetables as soon as possible, so that he could go to the vegetable field to pick two baskets to sell.

"Hurry up, no matter how late it is noon, you won't be able to get in line." Someone urged his companions.

Is this going for lunch? Sun Laohan was curious, and when he asked, it was really lunch, but there were too many people, so he had to line up in advance.

A vegetable seller, don't think about a restaurant or something. Sun Laohan continued to shout, wanting to sell the vegetables as soon as possible.

"I said, old man, stop selling vegetables. There are a lot of people today, and the cow building will definitely provide a bowl of mutton soup every two hours, a cup of tea and a cake every hour, not to mention that you sell the number plate, just this bowl of soup, a cup of tea, and a cake are better than you sell two baskets of vegetables. ”

And what's going on? Sun Laohan asked four or five people in a row, and they all said so.

Can you still sell the license plate you received? More money than two baskets of vegetables? What kind of food are you selling, hurry up and queue up. Sun Laohan called his ten-year-old grandson, asked him to guard the vegetable stall, and hurriedly went to Jinmingchi.

The road is not far, but there are too many people, many carriages fill the road, the attendants around the carriage are very fierce, no one is allowed to approach, so they have to go around the road, fortunately, there are many people, follow the flow of people, no need to inquire about the road.

When I arrived at the restaurant, it was like a temple fair, full of people and a long queue. Old man Sun didn't know where to get the mutton soup, when he heard a middle-aged man say to a seven or eight-year-old boy: "You go to line up, get the number plate and come over immediately." ”

The boy answered crisply, turned around and ran, came to the long line, and stood at the end of the line.

Oh yes, and get in line. Sun Laohan hurriedly followed, but in the blink of an eye, there were already two people lined up behind the boy.

For mutton soup and pastries, etc. are also worth it. Sun Laohan asked the people around him again, and they all said that there would be these two things, and he slowly moved forward with the team with peace of mind.

The line behind him is getting longer, the line in front of him is getting shorter, and when he was about to line up to the boy in front, Sun Laohan could see clearly that the twelve or thirteen-year-old guy was holding a small note with words written on it, and anyone who walked in front of him could receive such a small note. That's the number plate, right?

After the person in front of me got the little white paper, he shouted: "Two hundred, when do you have to queue up?" ”

The young man said, "You are lucky, you get to two hundred, and after that, there will be none." Our proprietor said that only 100 numbers will be issued a day in the future. ”

A number is a table, see the expansion of the scale after the reconstruction of the cow building, change the table three times to set a hundred tables, if before, a hundred tables, I am afraid that I have to wait until dawn to eat.

"Only a hundred numbers a day?" Several people behind Sun Laohan are in a hurry, they are about to line up, the number is gone, do you want to line up again tomorrow?

Su Mu said: "Don't worry about the guest officer, you can get tomorrow's number today, this old man will be the first tomorrow, you will be in early tomorrow, and you can dine when you arrive." As he spoke, a small note was handed to Sun Laohan.

Sun Laohan took it blankly. He has never eaten mutton soup in his life, what does it taste like, I really want to taste what mutton soup tastes like, when will I give mutton soup?

The news that only 100 numbers a day was distributed quickly reached the ears of the people queuing up behind, and the voices of complaining were everywhere, not complaining about watching the cow tower, but complaining that there were too many people, complaining that the magnates were blocking the carriage and not saying it, and they were so arrogant that they could not let people pass through the gap in the carriage, so that they could only make a detour.

Fortunately, there is news again, and tomorrow's number plates are now being distributed.

"Who gets the number one tomorrow?" I don't know who asked.

The lobby of the Niu Lou can accommodate ten tables of eight immortals, and those who get the first ten numbers will be able to eat if they come early tomorrow morning. For the sake of food, many people don't mind running again.

The people who got the first ten numbers tomorrow have been fenced, but most of them said that no amount of money will be transferred.

Someone saw the small note in Sun Laohan's hand, and immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Uncle, is your number for sale?" ”

"Sell." Sun Laohan nodded hurriedly, and didn't forget to ask: "When will there be mutton soup?" ”

"Lamb soup in the afternoon, right?" The man turned to the others and asked.

"It has to be the end of the afternoon and the end of the afternoon." The man had obviously eaten it, and he still couldn't finish it: "That soup is so delicious, tsk." ”

Looking at this one, my saliva is almost flowing out.

Late noon? Isn't it almost there? Sun Laohan decided to wait here.

"Uncle, do you sell your number?" The person who wanted to buy the number saw that Sun Laohan was distracted when he looked at the direction of the gate of the cow tower, and hurriedly asked again, didn't you see that two or three people came over?

"Sell." The small note in Sun Laohan's hand was sweating, this is a copper plate, and it must not be lost.

"You're going to make an offer."

"Fifty copper plates?" Sun Laohan immediately shook his head again, he only earned twenty or thirty copper plates by selling vegetables a day, how could a small note be worth more than two baskets of vegetables.

"A hundred copper plates, no more price increases." The person who wanted to buy it shook his head when he saw Sun Laohan, and the person who came over looked at the number in Sun Laohan's hand and his eyes were green, and he hurriedly hammered it down.

A hundred copper plates were placed heavily in the palm of his hand, and Sun Laohan still had an unreal feeling. Dare to queue up here for an hour, and make more money than he sells vegetables for three days.

Sun Laohan decided not to sell vegetables in the future, and queued up here every day.

Lu Wei walked around the open space, and when he saw that the diners were quickly accepting the new rules, he went to the lobby to have a look.

In the hall, some of the first batch of guests have finished eating, some are still serving, and one table of guests is still not leaving after eating, Geng Zhi said: "What else do the guest officers order?" ”

The man sitting at the table was a fat man, who was so full that he hiccuped, shook his head and said, "I can't eat it anymore." ”

It was so delicious that he couldn't even waste the soup and juice, and it all went into his stomach, and he felt like his stomach was about to burst.

Geng Zhi asked the guy next to him: "Have you settled the bill?" ”

"Not yet."

"If the guest officer checks out now, Geng can give you a number plate so that you can come to dine next time."

The fat man's eyes that were squeezed by the fat on his face immediately widened, and he said continuously: "Hurry up, check out." "Book eight

There is no need to queue, there is a number, it is simply pie in the sky.

Lu Wei and Geng Zhi smiled at each other and went to the kitchen.

The spacious kitchen is divided into two areas, inside and outside, only the knife touches the board, the sound of not falling down, the women who choose vegetables, wash vegetables, cut meat and remove fish offal, they are busy with the work in their hands, they can all see, there are so many diners outside, don't hurry up and choose the dishes, cut the meat well, the cooks want to fry the meat without meat, want to fry the vegetables without vegetables, wouldn't it be a mistake?

Seeing Lu Wei coming, the other women were busy with their own affairs, only a woman who was about thirty years old put down the knife in her hand and said, "What are the instructions of the owner?" ”

The woman's husband's surname is Liu, and the cooks call her Mrs. Liu. After Liu Po's husband died of illness, the eldest uncle drove her mother and son out in order to snatch two acres of thin land, and she had to beg for a living, and was bullied until Lu Wei took her in, so she could be regarded as having a place to live.

It was she who led the women to take the initiative to help the cook choose and cut vegetables, and the women were willing to listen to her, and she became the head of the women.

Lu Wei looked at the piles of vegetables like a hill and a few fat pigs that had just been slaughtered and had not yet been deboned and cut into meat, and said, "Are you busy?" ”

Liu Po smiled and said, "If you go back to the owner's house, it's okay."

Lu Wei nodded, and as soon as he took a step, he heard Liu Po shouting: "The big guy is smarter, there are many people who come today, I'm afraid that there will be meat and vegetables sent, and if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it until dark." ”

The women agreed, and two more women came to bring baskets of vegetables, and another woman stabbed the pig's spine neatly, and the pig was cut into two pieces at once.

Lu Wei hadn't entered the door yet, and almost collided with a half-sized man with a face of firewood, and when the half-grown man saw that it was Lu Wei, he called "the owner" and turned around and ran, and quickly ran back, holding a bundle of firewood in his arms.

The temperature on the stove was much higher than outside, and the cooks were sweating one by one, the worst was Liu Dong, and the diners who went to watch the cattle house to dine rarely did not order cakes. No amount is taken out of the oven, and it is not enough.

"Would you like to take a break?" Lu Wei asked him.

Liu Dong wiped a handful of sweat from his eyes and grinned, "No." ”

Now he is the busiest of all cooks, but he is happy, busy and full makes him feel at ease, and every day when he opens his eyes, he smells this sweet and familiar smell and makes him happy. Now, he's the happiest man in the world.

Lu Wei looked at other cooks again, and saw Zhang Dasha, who claimed to be the third generation of his ancestors, put rock sugar into the pot and stir-fried, this is to make braised pork.

Now look at the braised pork in the cow building is all from Zhang Dasha's hands, he is indeed quite talented in cooking, this dish Lu Wei only told him once, do it to him once, he made it looks like a look, he has done a lot, and it is a little blue. Now that Zhao Xuan eats braised pork, he no longer has to do it with Lu Wei, and sometimes he gives it to him, and he also eats it with relish.

Knowing that Lu Wei was standing not far away and watching him, Zhang Dasha's hand became more and more stable, and soon the braised pork was ready, served four plates, and placed them on the board, and his own buddies brought them out in the order in which the guests ordered.

Looking at other cooks, they are also methodical and not impatient because there are many customers outside.

After turning around, I was already sweating when I came out, and the autumn wind blew, and it was unusually cool. Lu Weizheng felt comfortable, He Tao came out of nowhere, pulled Lu Wei's sleeve and said with a smile: "Avi, good encounter, good encounter." ”

This thing pestered the guy to see Zhao Xuan, where the guy went, he followed. The guy was so pestered by him that he couldn't do anything, so he had to go and report to him. Zhao Xuan was annoyed and refused to see him. He looked for Lu Wei again, but Lu Wei was nowhere to be seen, and he was running around like a fly without a head at this time, when he suddenly saw Lu Wei standing under the porch, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over.

Lu Wei said: "I just saw it half an hour ago. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Avi, Zhao Wuchang said, the steamed buns you make are the best in the world......"

He Tao was full of smiles, looking flattering, but unfortunately this sycophant was not timely, Lu Wei responded lightly, just looked away, and saw an old man in short brown asking people when the mutton soup would be distributed, so he walked over and said, "Uncle, do you want to drink mutton soup?" ”

Sun Laohan sold a hundred copper plates for tomorrow's number plate, and while he was happy, he did not leave immediately, but found a corner to squat, but after waiting for a while, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and no one gave mutton soup yet, so he was in a hurry.

"Yes." Sun Laohan's eyes lit up and said, "Little brother, I heard that mutton soup is drunk here, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

He has asked many people about this, and many people have told him with certainty that there will be mutton soup at the beginning of the future, but when will it be at the beginning of the future?

"Really. What are your numbers? Lu Wei's eyes fell on his bare feet, this person was afraid that he was not here to eat.

I made a hundred copper plates today, Sun Laohan was so happy that he couldn't wait for people to ask about it, so he told 1510 about the new way to make money.

Sell number plates! Lu Wei couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You can wait for half an hour to have mutton soup." ”

It's just a bowl of mutton soup, why not give it to an old man who has been waiting for two hours?

"I haven't eaten mutton soup yet." Sun Laohan remembered the legendary delicious mutton soup, his saliva was flowing, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and said eagerly: "Let me take a sip, it's worth my death." ”

Lu Wei said: "Just drink one bowl is enough?" ”

Old man Sun grinned, very honest.

He Tao chased after him and begged: "Avi, the numbers have been issued in three days, you see that it is not easy for us to run, can you arrange a seat for us first?" ”

It's really bad luck today, before you come next time, you must inquire, and you won't come over until Zhao Xuan is here. He Tao went up and down, not only failed to show off in front of the crowd, but received a lot of eyes from the crowd. There was really no way to do it now, so I had to put down my body and beg Lu Wei.

Lu Weidao: "Didn't you come here early in the morning?" Why haven't I received the number plate yet? ”

He Tao was embarrassed: "We didn't line up. ”

Isn't this the feeling of enjoying the feeling of not having to queue again? Who knew that Zhao Wu's bastard was not there, this person was from the Dongping County Palace, so he couldn't do anything with him. He Tao died of grievance.

"Why don't you stand in line?" Lu Wei asked.

"......" still needs to ask. He Tao couldn't go on.

Chao Du couldn't stand it, so he came over and arched his hand at Lu Wei, and said: "Lu Dong's family is invited, the ancestor of the family is Cai Xianggong, a certain Cai Yong, the word Chao Dusk, ranks thirteen in the clan, and is known as Cai Thirteen." ”

This is self-reporting.

It turns out that you are the grandson of Cai Liang, an old traitor, Lu Wei returned the salute quietly, and said, "I don't know what to see?" ”

He Tao and the others all rolled their eyes, Cai Yong reported to his home, and the intention of deterrence was so obvious, you couldn't hear it? But when you think about it, it seems that the young man in front of you was once stupid, or is still stupid, and there are people who don't understand human feelings.

Cai Yong was somewhat angry, who didn't know Cai Xianggong's name, who didn't treat him politely as soon as he heard him report his home, and he was very enthusiastic? The young man in front of him was indifferent, so he couldn't get off the stage. How unreasonable!
