Chapter 31: Unprecedentedly Popular
There are three adobe rooms, the lady of the Zhang family and the old lady sleep in one, and Wang Dong himself sleeps in one.
I don't know if I'm tired, lying on the bed, Wang Dong can't sleep anyway. Beneath him was a stiff bed, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the roof.
"Insomnia?" Wang Dong muttered to himself, "Everything that should be done has been done, and now everything is ready, why do I have insomnia?" ”
In the brain, the uncontrolled replay of Wang Dong's life since he came to this world.
"Giggle......
The rooster crowed, and he waited for the roof for several hours. Getting up and looking out of the window, there was a slight noise outside the room, followed by the sound of the door being pushed.
"Huh? Is it dawning so soon? ”
Wang Dong also got up and came to the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw the Zhang family's lady carefully busy in the courtyard.
"Morning." Wang Dong said hello.
The lady of the Zhang family was taken aback, turned around and found that it was Wang Dong by the faint starlight, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect Wang Lang to get up so early." ”
"Where you are early."
Looking at the lady of the Zhang family, who was carrying the utensils needed to set up a stall in the morning market to the wooden cart, Wang Dong said, "I'll help you." ”
So, Wang Dong and the lady of the Zhang family worked together to carry the things in the courtyard to the wooden cart one by one. There were a lot of scattered items needed to set up a stall, and after about half an hour, the sound of footsteps came from outside the fence gate.
"Lady Zhang, open the door." Jiugong's voice came.
The little lady opened the door, and the nine male and four mermaids rushed in, looked at Wang Dong, who was already in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "You kid, no wonder you didn't see anyone when you got up in the morning, it turned out that you didn't go back last night." ”
Wang Dong replied: "After cleaning up last night, it was too late, and the old lady was afraid that the city gate was closed, so she kept me to stay." ”
"Jiugong, where do you put these things?" The voice of the Wang family servant on the side came, and he didn't know how to place those basins and wooden barrels.
Jiugong patted Wang Dong on the shoulder: "Today, it's up to you to perform, I have confidence in you." ”
Wang Dong nodded solemnly, and then everyone worked together to load the items into the car.
……
When Wang Dong, Jiugong and others pushed two big wooden carts to the morning market in the east of the city, they saw crowds on both sides of the street from a distance.
"Huh? How can there be so many people so early today? The lady of the Zhang family looked puzzled.
But when everyone approached, among those figures, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"Here they come, here they come."
"Everyone line up, don't rob me today."
Wang Dong and the others looked at each other, and when they came to both sides of the street, they found that those figures were actually lined up.
"What are you ......" Wang Dong couldn't help but ask when he saw that all eyes were looking at this side.
"Oh, we've been waiting here for half an hour, your golden partner, hurry up, after Wang Er ate it yesterday, show off with me, and I must eat it today." One of the people in the queue said to Wang Dong.
"Yes, yes, if we can't eat today, we won't leave."
……
In the crowd, there was a strong response, and Wang Dong and others finally knew that these people lined up again, so they all came to be able to eat the "golden partner" that Wang Dong did.
Looking at the long queue, Wang Dong and Jiugong both breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that today's sales will be good.
Unload the car, light the fire, add oil, and put it into the pot...... When the air was filled with a pungent aroma again, Wang Dong's business began again today.
"Don't worry, let's line up one by one," Wang Dong pulled his throat and said to the crowd, "Today, we have a big reward, fritters and bean curd, on the basis of yesterday, the price will be reduced again, and for two pennies, you can buy three fritters and a bowl of bean curd." ”
"Okay, it's really a conscientious seller."
"Haha, so I can have a good time today."
"Haha, look at your starving ghost reincarnation."
"Aren't you the same?"
"Hahaha......"
The crowd erupted in laughter, and in their opinion, two pennies to eat a delicious breakfast was something they could never have dreamed of nowadays.
As a result, the price of fried dough sticks and bean curd began to spread throughout the morning market, and for a while, the woodcutters who set up stalls and the cooks who sold pastries on the roadside joined the queue to buy.
It's just that because there is only one person on Wang Dong's side to fry fried fritters, it seems that the supply exceeds demand.
People are staring at the pot, and when one comes out, it is immediately sold. Compared with Wang Dong, the lady of the Zhang family who was holding bean curd on the side was much more relaxed.
As the minutes passed, there were fewer and fewer noodles in the basin for frying fritters, but the queue was getting longer and longer. Such a situation has not occurred in Jinyang City for decades.
The boom in business completely exceeded Wang Dong and Jiugong's estimates. Four basins of noodles, seeing that a quarter was gone, Jiugong hurriedly organized two people to go with him to make noodles.
The sky was bright, but the morning market did not disperse uncharacteristically. In front of Wang Dong's stall, there was still a long queue of people waiting to buy. Those who ate and drank enough, patted their bellies and left satisfied, admiring more than one along the way, and those who didn't eat swallowed vigorously.
One to ten, ten to hundred, as time goes by, there are more and more people. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the city looked at this side from time to time, if they hadn't been on official business, I am afraid they would have joined the purchase team.
In the midst of the flow of people, a man in white came in under the support of several subordinates.
"Sanniang, it's over there."
A subordinate whispered a few words in the ear of the white-clothed man, and the white-clothed man's gaze instantly moved to Wang Dong's body. It's just that Wang Dong was busy frying at the moment, and he didn't notice this gaze at all.
"Sanniang, do you want him to come over."
The man in white shook his head: "No, I'll talk about it after he's done." Seeing that they are queuing up so lively, you also send a few people to buy some back, and everyone will try them together. ”
"Yes, the old slave will do it right away."
This is a morning. Approaching noon, Wang Dong and the others were already tired and their legs were weak, but the crowd was still unabated, and Wang Dong couldn't help but feel helpless.
But fortunately, the flour ran out, and when the last fritter came out of the pot, Wang Dong finally let out a long breath, and then announced to the crowd very happily: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, we have run out of flour for frying fritters, please come back tomorrow." ”
"Hey, why are they sold out again, and I'm going to buy some and go back to make lunch with my wife."
"yes, yes, forget it, come back tomorrow."
Wang Dong, Jiugong, and the lady of the Zhang family said "sorry" to the crowd one by one, and after a stick of incense, they finally sent everyone away. Wang Dong and the others all sat down to rest, and they were busy for four hours in a row, who could hold it?
