Chapter 22 Setting up a stall

When she got home, Widow Lin was still babbling about her recklessness. After Xin Ping found out, he said that what Jiao Niang said was not right, if Jiao Niang met a husband like Zhang Erlang, he would also help Jiao Niang come out. The coaxing lady gave Xin Ping a few more pieces of meat for dinner.

When I came to town, it cost even more. In addition to making vermicelli and making wine, Jiao Niang decided to make a new business - opening a snack stall.

Jiao Niang saw that the market in Luoxi Town was not far from the Xin family. The market sells vegetables during the day, and at sunset it starts selling all kinds of snacks, but there are not many varieties. This livelihood is just right for the Xin family, you can work during the day and set up a stall at night.

After preparing for more than half a month, Xin Ping went to the market to find a stall to rent. On this day, Xin Ping, Jiao Niang and Widow Lin were busy at home preparing things to set up a stall. Lin Ruyi was concentrating on taking Xin An at home.

They prepared more than a dozen pairs of dishes and chopsticks, plates, charcoal stoves and some seasoning ingredients. Jiao Niang taught Widow Lin to fill egg cakes, and she prepared to make hot and sour noodles, and the two of them also wrapped some wontons and boiled thick bone broth to make the soup base.

The tables, chairs, and stoves on the stalls are all ready-made, and for fear that business will not be good, there are not many things on the stalls. The night market began, Xin Ping, Widow Lin and Jiao Niang stood in the stalls and watched the people come and go.

"Yo~ You three are standing stupidly like this, will there be guests coming to the door?" It turned out that the shopkeeper Tong came.

"Shopkeeper Tong, please!" Xin Ping and Shopkeeper Tong have been dealing with each other for a long time, and hurriedly beckoned Shopkeeper Tong to sit down.

Jiao Niang also knew Shopkeeper Tong, and hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Tong, what do you want to eat?" ”

The shopkeeper Tong looked Jiaoniang up and down, and said with a smile: "The girl really looks good, and the most rare thing is ingenuity." I just saw you write about chutney and egg scones outside, and I haven't tasted either of them. Give me these two! ”

Widow Lin was already eager to try it, she picked up the dough with oil and salt that she had prepared long ago, rolled it into long strips, rolled it into a roll, and then rolled it into an oval dough.

Brush the iron plate with a layer of vegetable oil, and put the dough on the iron plate to bake. At the same time, I quickly beat an egg in a bowl and beat the egg with chopsticks dipped in a little salt. Flip the dough with a bamboo tong, and the middle of the dough begins to bulge.

Widow Lin used chopsticks to make a hole in the dough and poured the egg liquid into it. Flip the dough again. When the eggs were almost solidified, Widow Lin used a bamboo tong to put the cake on a plate beside her.

Boss Tong, who had been watching Widow Lin's movements, thought that the egg scones were ready. But she didn't want to, Widow Lin pulled the iron plate away with the handle on the iron plate with a thick bra. Inside is an iron stove, and at the top is a grooved iron plate on the side. Widow Lin sandwiched the egg cake on this inner iron plate and closed the iron plate on it.

After baking for a while, Widow Lin took out the egg cake and brushed it with a layer of sweet noodle sauce. The hot egg scones were placed in front of the shopkeeper Tong, and at this time, Jiao Niang's hot and sour noodles were also served.

Shopkeeper Tong watched the process of Widow Lin making cakes and praised: "Not bad." Your snacks are very exquisite. I can see that you have put a lot of effort into it. ”

Widow Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for the appreciation of Shopkeeper Tong, such things are all thought up by Jiao Niang." Just to make this stove, I found someone to grind it back and forth for half a month. ”

Shopkeeper Tong nodded and glanced approvingly. Then I took a bite of the egg scramble, only to feel that the crust was crispy and delicious, but the inside of the cake was tender and delicious. This sweet noodle sauce is also well made, adding a lot of flavor to the omelet. Taste the hot and sour noodles made by Jiao Niang again, I only feel sour and spicy and refreshing, which makes people want to taste it again.

Shopkeeper Tong finished eating the egg scones and hot and sour noodles without saying a word, and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief elegantly: "It's really good, but you guys are standing so stupidly not to solicit guests." In the delicious others will not come. ”

"So how are we going to attract guests?" Although Jiao Niang is a modern person, her job is a nurse. She had never observed how the hotel solicited guests.

Shopkeeper Tong rolled his eyes, rotten wood cannot be carved. I saw the shopkeeper Tong standing in front of the stall with a smile and shouting loudly: "Neighbors, come and take a look and have a taste, freshly baked egg scones, wonton soup made of big bones, and sour and hot and sour noodles!" Come and try it! ”

The people passing by were attracted by the shouting, and some people recognized that this was the shopkeeper Tong of Tongfulou, so they said to Xin Ping: "Bring me an egg scramble, the things recommended by the shopkeeper of Tongfulou should not be bad." ”

I saw that Widow Lin began to get busy, and the onlookers saw that the egg scones were so fresh and had never eaten them, so they swarmed to buy egg scones.

Seeing this, Jiao Niang hurriedly opened the wonton soup base: "The wonton soup base made of big bones!" Full of umami, as long as five cents, a bowl of big wontons! Someone heard it and lit the ravioli. All of a sudden, the stalls were busy.

Xin Ping hurriedly thanked the shopkeeper Tong, and the shopkeeper Tong took out the money to Xin Ping. Xin Ping waved his hand again and again and refused to accept it, saying that if there was no shopkeeper Tong to help him shout at the stall, the business would not be so good. Shopkeeper Tong left without reluctance.

Due to the lack of preparation, the three of them sold out all their things, and many people did not eat them. Xin Ping came out and said apologetically: "Thank you for taking care of the business, I will definitely prepare a little more food tomorrow." Everyone is welcome to come back tomorrow! ”

When the crowd dispersed, Jiao Niang still squatted on the ground to wash the dishes, because there were only a dozen bowls, and there were many guests. Xin Ping: They had to wash the dishes constantly. Widow Lin also sat on the chair tiredly, she had not listened to the egg scones today, and she couldn't count how many she had made.

Although tired, everyone's face was clearly happy. On the way home, Xin Ping specially bought a piece of sugar-fried chestnuts and brought it back for Lin Ruyi to eat. Jiao Niang and Widow Lin saw it, you poked me, I poked you, covered your mouth and snickered.

When she returned home, Lin Ruyi was also very happy to see that everything was sold out. When she saw the sugar-fried chestnuts that Xin Ping bought for her, she smiled even more sweetly.

A few people returned to the outer room and began to count the silver money they had earned today, and they had earned more than 400 yuan in one night, and everyone was immediately very excited, and decided to prepare more food tomorrow.

On the second day, as soon as they arrived at the stall, the people who were waiting to buy something came over. Before they could greet the guests, several fierce men surrounded the stall.

A man led by him kicked over the bench on the stall in a rage: "What a boldness, you didn't come here to do business without meeting Cao Ye first?" ”

Xin Ping escorted Jiao Niang and Widow Lin behind him and asked, "Master Cao?" What Cao Ye to meet? ”

The man looked at the lady behind Xin Ping with a sinister gaze: "Cao Ye didn't even know that he came out to set up a stall." Let's go, let this girl and I meet Cao Ye. ”

Jiao Niang thought to herself, isn't it just a gang that collects protection money? As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, since they are helpless, then hard is the way to survive.
