Immediately, Yao Erniang mixed the noodles brought from home with two liters of noodles with Peng gray water, but after reconciling, she did not pull it directly, but took a copper basin to wash it and put it aside.

Then put salt in the mutton broth, cool the chopped haggis and lamb in a small pot and stew, and then boil the water on another stove, and then start the ramen when the water boils. Because Erniang had already found the trick when she made it in the morning, and she used the noodles that she had sent out, so this time she got started very quickly, and she pulled out a bowl of five-fold fine noodles in the blink of an eye. The scalper took the sea bowl, fished out the boiled noodles from the pot of clear water, and then poured the bright mutton soup, put aside the stewed radish pieces, mutton haggis, chopped fresh garlic sprouts and spicy dogwood powder, and sprinkled with pepper from his uncle's house.

But this first bowl of ramen was not given to his uncle Yao Zheng, and the scalper directly brought it to his cousin and said, "Cousin, can you taste it?" ”

Yu'er looked at the big sea bowl with a big face, her face was a little ugly, but she looked at the white radish, green garlic sprouts, pink mutton slices and light yellow noodles in the bowl, as well as the bright and fragrant soup, smelling the tempting fragrance, she still couldn't help but take it, mixed it and picked up a big chopstick and blew it into her mouth, and then her eyes were stunned, and she puffed up her mouth and said, "Hmm! Good...... This side, good ...... Good...... It's so crispy! ”

"How crispy?" Yao Zheng was curious when he heard this, and hurriedly urged: "Quick! Jer, bring a bowl to your uncle. ”

The mother and son cooperated well, and soon served another bowl to the uncle, and the scalper wanted to come to Yao Zheng to eat noodles, so naturally he would not only say that it was crispy like his cousin, but he didn't want him to have no time to talk at all, so he ate a bowl of noodles in a mess, and it was also a blink of an eye, and even the soup and noodles were poured into his stomach.

After eating, Yao Zheng hugged the bowl and said, "Okay!" It's delicious, the soup is delicious, the noodles are also delicious, and the indescribable tendons are only comparable to the river drain soup noodles in Bianliang. Here, another bowl, it's not spicy enough and put more dogwood! ”

There was no chili pepper in the Song Dynasty, and the folk food was nothing more than ginger spicy, garlic spicy, mustard and dogwood spicy, Yao Zheng mentioned it so that the scalper reminded the scalper of the indispensable main ingredient of this ramen, red pepper oil, and then thought about it but a wry smile, it seems that the knowledge of later generations said that the seeds of this red pepper are in South America, but on the other side of the world.

Wait, what the hell is Earth?

When she was stunned, Erniang called, and the scalper woke up and served noodles.

After more than a quarter of an hour, I finally fed my uncle's family up and down a dozen mouths, and when Yao Erniang and the scalper each started eating with a bowl of mutton ramen, my cousin Yu'er actually finished her big bowl of ramen, and then puffed out her stomach and panted, looking at the sea bowl in the scalper's hand and reluctantly went back to the backyard.

I couldn't see that Yao Zheng also had a large amount of rice, and he ate three bowls before and after, and he also held on. can only walk slowly at the door of the stove room to eat, Yao Erniang leaned against the door with a bowl, and said with a smile while eating: "San Lang, how is it?" If the Huang family's foot shop is redeemed and sells this sheep soup ramen, will it be profitable for the market? ”

"Great!" Yao Zhengzhi nodded and recalled: "I remember that my brother-in-law Zushang also started with a bowl of mutton soup and noodles and earned a huge business. If it weren't for this back then, how could my father and mother have allowed this family business, but who knew that it would have made my sister suffer. ”

"Who is to blame for such a fate?" Yao Erniang sighed lightly, but changed her head: "If San Lang thinks it's good, can he get one hundred and fifty yuan?" ”

When Yao Zheng heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes!" This kind of delicious food must be taken back to the foot shop. Uncle Yao, go to Changlong and pay two hundred pieces of silver. ”

Uncle Yao, who was squatting in the corner of the stove room and eating noodles, hurriedly stood up, but Yao Erniang smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about noodles after eating!" ”

Changlong is the industry of the Yao family, mainly engaged in some business of northern and southern goods, and because Yao Zheng is the main and thin relationship, he took the official license to do the money for silver money exchange to attract business, so the family does not put a lot of cash.

Although he was not in a hurry, Uncle Yao ate all the noodles in three or two bites, and rushed out in a hurry.

It didn't take long for him to come back with a cloth bag, and when he opened it, he saw that there were thirty or forty of the newly branded silver judges, and explained: "I wanted to take some loose silver to spend on Erniang, but it happened that there were merchants from the north who wanted to fly away today, and the steward in the number simply refined the accumulated broken silver." ”

Yao Erniang took it and was not polite, and counted it up to 1510, a full forty silver judgments, that is, two hundred taels of silver, so she was stunned to see Uncle Yao, but Uncle Yao smiled and said: "But logarithmic, the old slave remembers that the old store of the Huang family under the Niu family cost one hundred and fifty yuan, and I heard the third master say that the uncle has already taken the matter of moving back to live, and these two hundred taels are enough." ”

At this time, the official price of Huangzhou is one or two official silver can be exchanged for 950 wen, 770 wen is consistent, but the market price of the people is depending on the new and old copper coins and the fineness of the silver up and down.

At this time, the low-temperature fire smelting silver because of more impurities, easy to rust and cause silver frost, the loss is quite large, if the average ten taels of silver are stored in the cellar for a year, and then the silver frost born on the surface of the silver is washed away with potion, it will cost at least one penny. Therefore, if the silver that Yao Bo took was exchanged for copper coins, it would be more than two hundred guan, and it would definitely not be a problem to exchange it for more than two hundred and fifty guan roughly calculated.

Seeing that Yao Erniang's face was a little ugly, her aunt, who had been accompanying her, smiled and said: "What Uncle Yao said is that the officials are afraid that they have not thought of this festival, and my sister can just take it for expenses." ”

Yao Erniang saw that her aunt and uncle were talking like this, so she didn't say more, and after putting away the silver, she said: "I don't say much, the scalper must remember that you will definitely honor your uncle and aunt in the future." ”

"I'll take care of it!" The uncle's family gave this money happily, and the scalper naturally answered happily.

didn't gossip at the moment, Yao Erniang asked the scalper to run home to call the old man, and when the old man came, the family of three went to the ancestral old shop at the south gate of the city, and walked along the north-south main street to the ground in just a hundred steps.

The foot shop is a brick and wood house with three faces, a water of green tiles and white eaves, beams and pillars are made of fine cypress, the first room in the north has no walls on three sides, hanging with sunshade bamboo curtains, and there are twelve square tables of all sizes in it; The second room is the main entrance of the foot shop, and there is a counter, a four-eye stove, and a wine shelf. As for the third room, it is a back room for dwellers.

When I walked to the door of the foot shop and looked up, I saw the big banner on the front of the door with the words "Niujiadian" written on it, and the two small banners below were written "Shochu" and "Lao Noodles" respectively, which was the ancestral old shop that the old Huang family let out.

This Huangzhou City is actually not big, although Su Dongpo wrote in "Sending Ren Lingtong to Sentence Huangzhou and Sending His Brother Zi": "Huangzhou is a small county in the valley, and several thatched houses are based on bamboo reeds. ”

Zhang Lei, the fourth scholar of Sumen, also recorded in the "Mingdao Magazine": "The yellow name is the state, and there is no city, the west is fixed by the river, the three corners of it are slightly walled, there are fences between them, the residents in the city are only twelve or thirteen, and the rest are all waterlogged and wasteland, and the people cultivate and fish among them." ”

But in fact, as the thoroughfare of Huainan Road, although there are less than 10,000 residents in the city, but because of the convenience of Linjiang Water City, this is the four towns and eight miles of trade must enter Huangzhou City, so in this small foot shop on the side of the busy city gate, the transfer fee is worth 150 yuan is of course.
