Chapter 5: Making Bread

Following

Early in the morning, he got up early at the urging of Cheng Shuang'er, after all, today is the day for him to "apply", and he can't be late. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Muran, who went out, looked at Cheng Shuang'er who was standing at the door and looked at him stupidly, and the emotion in his heart was incomprehensible.

Shuang'er explained a lot to herself last night, although what she said was some inconsequential advice, but that feeling was sweet to Li Muran's heart, not to mention that he saw himself off like a wangfu stone early in the morning, which really melted Li Muran's heart.

Out of the door, soon he came to the street, as said before, although he came to this dynasty for some days, but really felt the humanistic customs of this era for the first time, looking at the early morning, the street on both sides of the hawkers shouting and selling, only let him feel the simplicity and diligence of the ancient name.

"Little brother, look at the vegetables just picked from the ground, a penny a pound"

"This brother, the pork that is killed now, the fat one is three cents a catty, the thin one is five cents a catty, and the fat is not lean six cents"

“……”

Li Muran came all the way, and the shouting sound sounded in his ears one after another, which was really lively.

But he didn't come to buy vegetables, because he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, he didn't understand the address that Cheng Deshou said yesterday, and he came to the street to find someone to ask how to get to this Su Mansion.

"Little brother, do you want to buy cakes? The big meatloaf just out of the pot only costs three cents a piece"

He came to this world penniless, don't say that this meatloaf costs three pennies a meatloaf, even if it is half a meatloaf, he can't afford it?

But we are thick-skinned, and we have to ask if it is clear when we lick our faces

"This big brother, your meatloaf looks good, but I don't know how it tastes"

The middle-aged man's face darkened, thinking that someone was here to smash his signboard, and immediately said with some displeasure

"Needless to say, who on this street doesn't know my Wang Ji meatloaf, it's not a problem to sell hundreds of yuan a day."

When he heard this, he asked with some disbelief on his face

"Really?"

"Of course, why don't you come and have a taste?"

"Then I'll give it a try"

After speaking, Li Muran's expression was half-pushed, and he seemed to be very reluctant to pick up a piece of cake and chew it.

And the middle-aged man in front of him was a little unconvinced when he saw someone questioning his craftsmanship, so much so that he even forgot the rule of paying first and then buying cakes, and even had a trace of expectation on his face waiting for Li Muran's answer.

"Well, the meat filling in this cake is fine, and the heat is also excellent, but this method is really not good, and it spoils this cake."

"How's it going?

Guest officer, don't talk nonsense, my cake has been sold in this Luzhou City for more than ten years, if you can't say why today, even if you smash my signboard of Wang Ji meatloaf, you will definitely look good."

Although the middle-aged man surnamed Wang in front of him was a cake maker, he was extremely burly, and his two arms were about to catch up with his two legs, but in the face of such a man, Li Muran still had a faint smile on his face

"Dare to ask this eldest brother's surname?"

Seeing him with a smile on his face, this surnamed Wang is naturally not angry, as the saying goes, it is good to stretch out your hand and not hit the smiling person, but the tone is not polite just now

"I don't dare to be your surname, I call it Wang Da Cake"

"Wang flatbread?"

"Exactly!"

When Li Muran heard the name, he then looked up and down at this Wang Patty, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Why don't you call it Wang Meat Pie? But when you think about it, words can't be spoken.

"It turned out to be Wang Da Biscuit's big brother, my name is Li Muran, you see that this market is still early, it is not yet boiling, it is better to go to the house to talk about it, if you believe me, I promise that in the future, your Wang Ji cake will be popular all over Luzhou City, of course, if you don't believe it, I will pay for this cake, we should not have met"

In fact, Li Muran also walked around this street twice, and the other breakfast stalls had more or less business, but only this Wang Ji flatbread was not cared about, although it was to ask for directions, but the two were not delayed.

But when he walked in and took a look, he found a clue, this Wang Ji flatbread is purely shackled with fire, and even does not add a trace of green onions to carve it, just this appearance is already a little worse, plus this Wang flatbread does not seem to be very good at business, just standing in front of the cake stall, as if who owes him money, think about this business, even if you are the best food, you will choose to give up at a glance.

Besides, this king flatbread himself said that it sells for more than 100 yuan a day, and the meat seller just now also shouted the price of the meat.

And Li Muran also takes a fancy to this, like the various breakfasts sold on the streets and alleys before, although he can't make them, but there are still some ways to make this cake more selling and delicious.

This king of bread heard him shout himself kindly, and his face did not seem to be teasing himself, although he could sell some bread every day, but he could only barely make ends meet, if the man in front of him really had the ability......

"Brother Li, is there really a way?"

"If Brother Wang doesn't believe it, then ......"

After saying that, Li Muran pretended to take out the money in his arms, but Wang Da Cake grabbed his hand when he saw this, and a smile rarely appeared on his meaty face

"Brother Li, if you don't dislike us talking in the house"

Li Muran was not hypocritical, and also stretched out his hand

"Please"

As soon as I entered the house, I saw flour filling the air, and a middle-aged woman beside the stove was bending over the pot to paste the freshly made meatloaf

The woman seemed to hear the footsteps and looked sideways, and saw that it was Wang Dabao, and immediately shouted in a sharp voice

"Wang Da Cake, didn't you let you watch the stall outside? What are you doing here, if you sell two less flatbreads, do you want us to be hungry today? ”

Listening to the words of the middle-aged woman, Li Muran finally understood why this Wang Da Cake had a bitter melon face, it turned out that there was a "fierce wife" in the family.

Maybe it was because Li Muran was beside him, this Wang Da Pie's face turned red, and it took a long time to respond

"What are you shouting, didn't you see your guests coming?"

The daughter-in-law of this king flatbread is really a snob, and when she heard the words of the distinguished guest, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and stepped forward, and her tone took a 180-degree turn

"It turned out that it was a distinguished guest of the Prime Minister who visited Yang's courtesy"

Looking at the big reversal in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this ancient is good, even if he is a fierce wife at home, he saves enough face for his husband in front of outsiders

"In Xia Li Muran, I have seen the sister-in-law of the Wang family"

After some politeness, the three of them sat down, Wang Da Cake told his own lady about what he had just done outside the house, the latter looked at Li Muran's outfit, and a suspicious look appeared on his face, in fact, it is not strange that this Yang family has such a look, Li Muran's makeup is indeed a little shabby, a short shirt in green clothes has been white, the only new thing is the new shoes that have just been put on the feet, but at a glance, you can know that they are made at home, and they are not worth anything.

"Sister-in-law Wang, your big meatloaf will make a net profit of dozens of dollars at most a day, and you have to remove the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, I believe that there is not much left, so why don't you listen to me and give it a try, and people often say: It's gold, it's silver, you can know it when you try it, if you don't want to try, how can you know if what I said is right or not,"

Although Li Muran's makeup did not get the trust of this sister-in-law Wang, what she said was exactly in the hands of the husband and wife in front of her, and after the two communicated privately for a while, Wang Dapan said to him

"Brother Li, I will believe you once, if it is really as you said, there will be a change today, then half of the money you earn will be shared with you."
