Chapter 53: The Big Sale
Speaking of the noodles sold by the Huang family in the past, they are actually hand-rolled noodles cut with knives, and most of the people in Huangzhou and even the south of the Yangtze River like to eat this kind of noodles. As for the people of Bianliang, Tokyo, they like a kind of noodle dish called soup cake, in fact, this soup cake is also a noodle soup, but now whether it is Jiangnan or Jiangbei, Huangzhou or Tokyo, there has never been any ramen, which naturally arouses everyone's curiosity.
Huang Lao Qi smiled and shouted: "Everyone will know when you see it!" ”
This old Huang family shop is three parallel doors, the north is a three-sided wallless room, the middle is the main entrance, with a wine rack counter, and the stove connected to the three eyes, Nanli was originally an inner room used to store ingredients and live in people, but now it is a bamboo curtain to block the side of the street.
After listening to Huang Laoqi's words, I saw that the hanging bamboo curtain was pulled up, and the original inner room behind the bamboo curtain was changed to a half-open room, and a large noodle case was set up on the stove in the middle.
As the two of them pulled and smashed the dough in their hands, everyone was stunned, but this was not amazing, but after the two people prepared the dough, they pulled the dough and shouted "two bowls of ramen in a big bowl", and then began to pull and fold.
One-fold, two-fold, three-fold...... The dough was magically stretched and folded in the hands of the two, and it was pulled into thin noodles in the blink of an eye, only to see two ramen masters pull five folds and pinch the noodles in their hands, throw the noodles into the pot of boiling water, and say that this is two fine, and after the other ramen master pulled six folds, then shake the noodles in his hand that look much thinner than the two thin noodles and put them into the pot, saying that this is thin noodles.
The stunned crowd did not come to their senses until the noodles were poured with fragrant mutton soup and covered with tender green chives, garlic sprouts, leek leaves, radish slices and mutton toppings, and they shouted: "I will also have two bowls, one bowl of thin noodles and one bowl of two fine." ”
The ancestral sheep soup of the old Huang family is famous, and the practice of this ramen is unprecedented, and the scene suddenly became popular.
And while the old man was smiling with a flowering face, he didn't forget to introduce the real staple Shihui Street to the big guy: "Everyone, my family's ramen is just a brick to attract jade, and in the Shihui Street behind my store, there are Aunt Wu's cooking cakes and steamed buns, Zhang Sige's sesame oil meat cakes, Granny Long's mash eggs and flower cakes, as well as the fried fruit and vegetarian tea of Wang Er's family in the south of the city, the fried fish and fish soup of Li Siniang's family in the east of the city, and the meat and vegetarian dishes of Gu Sanniang's mother's family.
If the big guy still feels that it is not enough, then you have to try the new food made by my family, including barbecue, steamed meat, silk vegetables and various fried rice cakes, as well as soup, fried, and charcoal-grilled meatballs. ”
Subsequently, Huang Laoqi also brought out a plate of side dishes from the food box on the counter, and said with a smile: "Of course, the reopening of my family's old store is not only about ramen, but also preparing a delicious dish that looks scary, but I don't know if anyone understands the taste." ”
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, so they took a look at it, and found that the food on the plate was a petal, black and pitch, and looked like an egg, and some of the outer skin had snowflake-like patterns, and they couldn't help but be amazed. I boldly came over and sniffed, first smelling a pungent smell that I couldn't tell what it was, but looking at the onions, garlic and ginger shreds mixed with sauce and vinegar in the middle of the food, I knew that it should also be a cold dish, so I boldly picked up a preserved egg wrapped in dipping sauce and ate it.
"Hmmm! It's not very tasty! I'll have to try it again! The guy who took the lead in eating preserved eggs deliberately deprecated, stuffed another petal into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and then went to clip the third and fourth petals......
"Feng Si, you are so shameless!" In the blink of an eye, the other people who suddenly realized that they rushed up to grab the food, but the smarter one rushed to the counter, and in an instant the dozens of plates of preserved eggs prepared in the food box were snatched up, because the ramen still has to be boiled bowl by bowl, and the preserved eggs are ready-made.
Then, until the third watch in the evening, the old shop of the Huang family and Shihui Street have become the new city center of Huangzhou City. As the news spread, whether it was the merchants who entered the city to prepare for tomorrow's market, or the residents sitting on the ground in the city, they all flocked to the city after getting the news. Although local foods such as boiled cakes, fried fish cakes, and vegetarian fish soup have little appeal to the locals, the magical ramen, delicious barbecue, novel silk vegetables, new fried rice cakes, and meatballs and steamed buns have managed to hook the stomachs of people in the city.
Although tomorrow is a big gathering, Huangzhou City does not close the four gates, and there are still many diners in this food street during the third watch, but the old man still forcibly ordered it to close, for no other reason, that is, a large number of ingredients prepared, and even the portion originally prepared for tomorrow's market were sold out.
In desperation, the old man could only order the closure and let everyone rest immediately, but he took people from house to house to go to the homes of butchers, vegetable farmers, chicken sellers and merchants of various materials to buy goods overnight, so as not to have no goods to sell on the official opening day tomorrow.
And all this has nothing to do with scalpers, and he can't see it.
This is because he was grounded by his uncle Yao Zheng, one of the reasons is that how can a scholar be contaminated with the spirit of a businessman, and it is good to have Yao Erniang and Huang Laoqi in charge of business affairs at home.
The second reason is that Lord Cao Zhizhou actually invited colleagues from all walks of life in the Huangzhou Mansion, as well as Zhao Tixing, who was about to leave Huangzhou, to go to the scene of this apprenticeship as a witness.
As a result, Cao Zhizhou likes to read history, especially recently studying the Huangzhou Prefecture and County Chronicles, so Yao Zheng brought more than 30 volumes of Huangzhou County Chronicles for scalpers to chew; There is also a Huangzhou regimental training envoy Feng Yu who has never seen the scalper, I heard that he likes the inscriptions of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and often goes to Chibi Mountain to expand the inscriptions, so the historical materials about the inscriptions of the Northern Wei Dynasty must also be memorized; There is also that Zhao Tixing is said to have come to Huangzhou on a business trip this time, and he brought a "Lu's Spring and Autumn" with him, so this "Lu's Spring and Autumn" is also a compulsory course for scalpers who need to temporarily hold on to their feet.
However, on the morning of the third year of junior high school, when Yao Erniang came to bring him breakfast with dark circles under his eyes, the good news of yesterday's successful trial operation finally reached his ears, but the scalper was just happy, and he once again launched a charge on the nearly 100 books on the desk with a sad face!
