Chapter 62: Yu Qingfang
Yangzhou City ushered in the morning sun, the beginning of the snow after the snow, approaching the end of the year, whether it is a rich or poor farmer, all come to the market as soon as possible, ready for the New Year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info New Year always has to be a little festive.
Especially tofu, ancestor worship, worship gods, indispensable vegetarian food. If it was in the past, Sister-in-law Mei and her husband should have been so busy that they only closed their eyes for a few hours a day, working hard to make a few more tables of tofu. Today, however, something is different.
"Yo, his sister-in-law, why did you change the signboard today? It's a good handwriting, it's very powerful! ”
The words on the proclamation are written in block letters, and Lin Lan's handwriting is quite level.
The font is the pen style of Liu Gong in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Dajing Dynasty, whether Liu Gongquan existed, this Lin Lan did not verify. Of course, the literary style of the Dajing Dynasty was flourishing, nourishing a large number of literati and calligraphers, and if any calligrapher passed by and saw such a streak of ink in front of this inconspicuous little vendor, he would definitely be surprised.
However, the hawkers on the other side don't have this eyesight, and they are more concerned about what this mysterious royal green recipe is and whether it will affect their business.
"Ame, what's selling here?" Everyone looked at the altar beside them.
Sister-in-law Mei narrowed her eyes, smiled, put some bamboo charcoal together, and said, "Good thing." ”
The people who came to order tofu with the big cow also joined in the fun, standing aside, Yuqingfang? What is this food?
"Yu Qing Fang? What is it? ”
"Well, have you ever eaten anything from here?" Someone stopped and looked at the unsightly stall, curious about what it was.
A young man stepped forward, "Yu Qingfang, this name is elegant, I don't know what this is selling?" "There are always some curious people who want to try it.
Sister-in-law Mei smiled and said, "Naturally, it is a delicious thing. ”
The young man smiled, tucked the blown headband behind his back, and said, "Then get one." Ten cents, it's not expensive, and let me see what kind of reputation is here. ”
Many curious people also came over to see what kind of novelty it was.
Sister-in-law Mei fanned the charcoal fire with sparks, and immediately made the charcoal fire prosperous.
However, when she just opened the small jar, a foul smell wafted out, and immediately asked the people around her to cover their mouths and retreat.
"I'll go, something stinks. Sister-in-law Mei, what kind of fame have you made, and what filth is in this jar? ”
"Is this what people eat? Hurry up and cover it, I'm going to throw up! ”
"What are you doing, fished out of rancid water? Hurry up and take it. ”
“……”
The people around me chattered and talked non-stop.
Sister-in-law Mei glanced at the crowd with an embarrassed face, and when she saw Lin Lan nodding her head, she calmly skewered two pieces of stinky tofu with two bamboo sticks, brushed some rapeseed oil with a pig hair brush, and roasted them slowly on the charcoal fire.
Quite a few people have already slipped away in dismay.
Lin Lan began to fan the flames in the crowd: "All those who have aspirations in the world should work hard for their minds, work their muscles and bones, and work hard to achieve great things." How can this delicacy be accessible to ordinary people? ”
"Yo, this isn't Lin Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You say it's delicious? Who would dare to eat this stinking thing? Not disgusting to death? ”
"That's because you're not knowledgeable." Lin Lan said with a smile, "The best jade is wrapped in a layer of stone skin, which can only be obtained by those with unique vision, how can it be obtained by ordinary people." ”
However, Lin Lan's high remarks failed to attract people who dared to eat the stinky tofu in Sister-in-law Mei's hands.
The first person to eat crabs was indeed brave.
Such a stinky thing would not be stupid enough for a normal person to pay for it. Sister-in-law Mei continued to roast stinky tofu with charcoal fire, sprinkling some minced garlic on it, the smell of stinky tofu that had been charcoal roasted had dissipated a lot, and the smell gradually changed a little because of the garlic aroma. Lin Lan had the impression that the tofu baked in this way tasted crispy but not greasy, and it was fragrant when chewed.
"This first piece of Yuqing Fang, let someone Lin try it."
The people on the side retreated far away and looked at Lin Lan like fools.
The charcoal fire has almost heated up, the stinky tofu is brushed with rapeseed oil, and the dripping oil juice falls on the charcoal fire, and green smoke floats repeatedly. The smell also wafted away.
Whether it's the person who covers his face with his hands or covers his mouth and nose with his sleeves, he always has to breathe.
The smell gradually faded, I don't know if I was used to the smell, or was covered by the smell of the beans, the surface of the Yuqing Fang gradually burned yellow under the charcoal fire, and became very attractive.
Sister-in-law Mei felt that it was almost there, so she picked it up, pretended not to know it, handed it to Lin Lan, and said, "This guest officer, your Yuqing Fang." ”
"Are you sure you won't die if you eat this thing?" The person who was going to order a royal green recipe before had a feeling of being deeply deceived. Yu Qingfang, the name is good, but it turned out to be such a thing, which is how he can say it.
"It's not delicious, or your stomach is bad, you can find me at any time." Sister-in-law Mei said with a smile.
Lin Lan didn't care what others said, took the bamboo skewer in Sister-in-law Mei's hand, and gently bit it with that front tooth.
After a long period of fermentation, the original taste of the tofu has long since changed. I savored it and ate it very fragrantly.
"Delicious! Delicious! ”
"Hey, Mr. Lin, your head won't be caught in the door panel, right? Can you eat such a bad food? The people behind widened their eyes one by one, looking at Lin Lan who was eating stinky tofu.
"Pack another one, the first time you see such a novel delicacy, you must let the family try it." Lin Lan handed a small amount of money to Sister-in-law Mei and said, "Don't look for it, this thing is really delicious." ”
Sister-in-law Mei followed the plan arranged by Lin Lan yesterday and said, "I didn't plan to look for your money." The one just now is the trial price, and those who want to eat Yuqing Fang in the back are all fifty wen a piece. ”
She glanced at the people who were still hesitant to eat, and said, "The tasting is limited to twenty people, one serving per person." ”
"Ten cents, huh? Since Lin Gongzi said it was delicious, give me a copy too. ”
"I'll also taste it, what is this mysterious Yuqing Fang?"
In places where there are cheap ones, they can always attract a lot of customers. This is Lin Lan's way of doing business. Suddenly, in front of the originally deserted stall, a long queue suddenly formed.
There were many people who didn't understand what they were doing, and when they got in line, they asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" ”
"I don't know very well, it seems that there is something good, let's see, I'll know when the time comes."
The unique taste of stinky tofu wafted in front of Sister-in-law Mei's shop, and the stinky tofu in the jar was also sold piece by piece.
Of course, it is impossible for her to sell fifty yuan a piece, and every time she arrives, Sister-in-law Mei will follow Lin Lan's rehearsed rhetoric in advance, and said with a smile: "You are so lucky, just in time to taste it." ”
Under the guise of such a promotion, people who were still a little hesitant paid money to buy it, isn't it just ten cents, it's a big deal to throw it away.
In this way, the two small jars of stinky tofu were sold out in an instant.
In the end, Sister-in-law Mei looked at the long queue helplessly and shouted, "Everyone, I'm sorry. The Yuqing Fang is sold out, and the food to be eaten will be early tomorrow in the afternoon. ”
Those who eat it only eat two small pieces, and those who don't eat it have no taste in their hearts. Lin Lan's hunger marketing has only now officially begun.
It comes out like a rotten street all of a sudden, it is better to trickle like this and come for a long time.
Sister-in-law Mei shook the copper coins in the wooden box, which added up to a tael of silver, and smiled from ear to ear. If there are such customers every day, you can't earn thirty taels a month! Her eyes are full of the shadow of copper coins, so happy feet!
