Chapter 4: The Tragedy Caused by a Bean Sprout (Part II)
"Selling sprouts?" Looking at the bean sprouts in front of him, Ah Qi made a difficulty: "Brother Jiang, how can I sell this bean sprouts?" I've never seen anything like it in town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Jiang Jianghao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then picked up the bean sprouts he had just taken out and turned around and went into the kitchen. I wanted to show off my cooking skills to Ah Qi, but the firewood stove in front of him made him scramble, and in the end, with Ah Qi's help, he successfully lit the firewood.
He first blanched the bean sprouts in boiling water for two minutes, then heated the wok, and slowly poured two spoonfuls of clear oil into it, and when the oil temperature rose and the white smoke faintly came out of the pot, he quickly poured the dried bean sprouts into the pot, and the spatula quickly rolled a few times, and when the water in the pot evaporated, he grabbed a pinch of salt and sprinkled it evenly in the pot, and finally simply stir-fried it twice and served it directly.
He first poured some water into the wok, and then turned around and brought the plate of freshly cooked bean sprouts in front of Ah Qi: "Come, taste it and see how it tastes?" ”
Ah Qi didn't take chopsticks, he directly pinched a few with his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, and then chewed slowly, but he suddenly burst into tears while chewing: "Brother~ It's so delicious!" It's the most delicious dish I've ever had! ”
Jiang Jianghao raised his hand and hit Ah Qi's head with a "snap", and laughed, "Ah Qi, you're not!" It's just a plate of fried bean sprouts, and you're crying like a fool? I said, I'm going to take you to eat all the real delicious, wipe your tears, it's time to get started! ”
Ah Qi wiped his face with his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and said busily: "Brother Jiang, let's say, what do you want me to do?" ”
After estimating the remaining bean sprouts in the pot, Jiang Jianghao told Ah Qi about the next plan: "There are about four catties of bean sprouts left here." You take all of them to the fifth aunt's house, give her a pound to try first, and then take out one pound from the remaining three catties, borrow her stove and fry it according to the method I just made, and give it to the neighbors to taste, and finally sell the remaining two catties at the price of ten taels of silver and a catty. ”
"Ten taels and one pounds?" Ah Qi screamed strangely, and then asked, "Brother Jiang, are you robbing?" ”
Jiang Jianghao smiled slyly, patted Ah Qi's shoulder, and urged: "Young man, go quickly!" Otherwise, I won't be able to have lunch in time! Remember, if you come to buy it from the Welcome Building, don't sell it! ”
Ah Qi's flexible eyes turned around, then gave him a 'I understand' expression, and then went out with the basin in his arms.
Half an hour later, Jiang Jianghao began to fidget, not because he was worried about Ah Qi, but because he was worried that the people in the city would not accept the advent of bean sprouts so quickly, and he was still waiting for the silver to buy meat to eat! After thinking about it, I decided to go into the city to see it myself.
I remember that Ah Qi said that the fifth aunt's stall was in Beicheng, and after he entered the city gate, he walked in the direction of Beicheng. Passing by on the way, I occasionally saw people gathered in twos and threes, as if talking about something.
He slowed down, pricked up his ears and listened, and occasionally heard people talking about a magical golden bean, which was delicious but expensive. He guessed that the golden beans in people's mouths were definitely his water-haired bean sprouts.
The bait has been dropped, and it seems that the free tasting is quite effective, and unconsciously, his steps are brisk, and his mouth unconsciously hums a little tune. As soon as I arrived at Beicheng Street, I saw a crowd in front of a stall not far ahead. It seems that the fifth aunt's stall should have arrived.
Counting the time, the bean sprouts should have been sold out, but it seemed that it was a little different from what he expected. Jiang Jianghao couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that my plan is wrong?" It shouldn't be! ”
Just as he was about to go forward to check, he heard Ah Qi's voice from the crowd: "My master said, don't do your business in the Welcome Building, and now that everything has been sold, what are you still doing here?" ”
"Why doesn't your master do our business? He didn't inquire either, in this Luoyi City, who didn't know that Boss Zhao of our Welcome Building was the brother-in-law of the Nine Princes! Believe it or not, as long as our boss Zhao says a word, your thing is really a treasure, and don't want to sell it into this Luoyi City! "Snarky words, arrogant attitudes, and a battle of fox and false tiger. He really wanted to open the crowd to see which one of them was so arrogant. Merely...... Why does this sound so familiar?
If you think about it, he doesn't go into the city much, and he talks to people very rarely, who could this voice be? Finally, a mean face flashed in his mind, wasn't this voice the second shopkeeper in front of the welcome building that day? It's really a narrow road!
He deliberately cleared his throat and raised his voice and shouted, "Don't believe it! ”
The surroundings fell silent in an instant, and everyone present turned their heads and stared at Jiang Jianghao who shouted just now, wondering why he was shouting at this time. But before he could explain, the arrogant shopkeeper had already begun to shout at him: "Okay, who was I at the time? It turns out that you stinky begging for food again! Get out of here, get out of here! Don't delay my business, or you won't have any good fruit to eat!" ”
Jiang Jianghao didn't answer, he was still standing in place leisurely, but Xiao Qi in the stall exclaimed: "Master, why are you here in person?" ”
"Master?" The people present were surprised and asked at the same time, and even the arrogant shopkeeper was shocked and speechless at this time.
Slowly walked to the front of the stall and glanced into the wooden basin, it seems that the inclusiveness of this Qin State is still quite strong, and in such a short time, all the soybean sprouts have been sold. He turned around and arched his hand towards the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's soybean sprouts have been sold out, please be early next time if you need it!" ”
After getting his instructions, Ah Qi began to clean up the stall, but who knew that the shopkeeper suddenly took a step forward, snatched the wooden basin in Ah Qi's hand and hugged it in his arms, and kept shouting at Jiang Jianghao: "What if you are his master?" Why don't you sell it to me, don't you know that our Welcome House is the best restaurant in Luoyi City? ”
Jiang Jianghao raised his eyebrows: "Even if your welcome building is the best restaurant in the whole Qin country, I still won't sell it!" ”
The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded, and asked blankly: "Why?" ”
Stretching out his finger and pointing straight at the shopkeeper who looked confused, Jiang Jianghao told him word by word: "Because of you!" As long as you are in the welcome building, don't even think about buying my bean sprouts! ”
"Good~!" There was a burst of cheers around, this shopkeeper relied on the momentum of the welcome building on weekdays, and he didn't give the neighbors a lot of anger, and now he also has a day when he kicked the iron plate, which is really happy!
After saying goodbye to the fifth aunt, Jiang Jianghao left the money for her again, made an appointment to pick up the soybeans the next day, and then took Ah Qi around the city until he spent the rest of the silver before going out of the city and going back.
The next day, Ah Qi returned from taking beans and told Jiang Jianghao an interesting thing. said that the shopkeeper who was fighting with people was found fainting in the alley, his clothes were all covered in blood, and he was covered in injuries......
After listening to it, Jiang Jianghao didn't react much, as if everything was expected, but it reminded him of a movie he had watched many years ago, and the content of the movie was probably about a bloody case caused by steamed buns.
So is this situation a tragedy caused by a bean sprout?
