Chapter 263: Moonlight in the City (4)

As soon as the decision to split up was made at noon, as soon as the three of Li's mother and daughter left, and the two discussed again in the evening, the Yin family decided to act immediately. It's not that the Yin family hates the Zhang family so much, but she really hates the habit of the Zhang family and the Feng family quarreling when they have nothing to do.

This quarrel is naturally not good, and sometimes some cattle can't step on it. In this way, her two children have learned a lot, which makes the Yin family angry.

However, living together, all in the same yard, can not be avoided. Now that the Zhang family has agreed to split up, she will not act again, in case the old man regrets it again.

In this way, although the Lu family and the Feng family still stayed in the old house, the Yin family quickly asked the village chief to approve a piece of land and began to build a house. When I moved, it was even more thorough, even the pots and pans and chopsticks were moved, and a shed was built next to the open space to cook and eat.

Yin's maiden family is in business, and among the brothers of the Li family, the third elder of the Li family is the most energetic, he is a well-known handsome offspring, and he is a family and a loving wife, so although the life of the Li family has been hard in recent years, the mother's family of the Yin family has subsidized the couple a lot.

Such a son-in-law, they feel that it is worth it to post upside down.

This can make the Feng family angry, but there is nothing to be done. Originally, it was proposed to separate the family just to relieve the anger, and by the way, the anger of the Zhang family. I didn't expect this to be a success, but I wasn't the first to benefit.

It was the fulfillment of the Silver Clan.

And Zhang's is also a quick character, anyway, the family has been separated, and she has also explained that her daughter-in-law wants to build a house, so let's build it. So, the next day, he went straight to the city.

Whether it is her youngest son or two daughters, they are no longer children who need to be taken care of, and they will not go hungry. As for her wife, she is still working in the city, and she doesn't dare to treat her daughters-in-law harshly.

So, she went very at ease.

When he arrived in the city and asked where the vegetable market was, Zhang walked all the way and finally found the location that Li said. And when he saw that the door of the shop was wide open, he walked over.

Well, although the location is average, it is better to be next to the vegetable market, with a lot of foot traffic, and it is convenient to buy ingredients.

Li was taking his two daughters to make final preparations, and he was very happy to see Zhang coming. Seeing that she had a burden on her shoulders, she said, "Mother, I have everything here, and the quilt is also newly bought, did you bring some?" ”

It's no wonder that Li was surprised, the burden on Zhang's shoulders is really too much. With that volume, it's like moving.

As if he hadn't heard Li's words, Zhang began to look up and down at the shop. As Li said, this shop is indeed very high, and the area is not large, which is a pity.

"Get out of the way, I'll see how the stove is doing. Yuping, Yuzhu, come, help grandma carry this burden upstairs. As soon as Zhang came, her momentum immediately appeared, she has always been a person who likes to command people to do things.

As soon as Ruan Yuping and Ruan Yuzhu took over the burden, Zhang's said, "You two light, there are twenty duck eggs in this bag, and a bowl of old noodles that I use to wake up." Put things away and remember to take them down for me. Alright, go ahead, good. ”

When the sisters heard this, they didn't realize that their grandmother was too cute, and it was okay to bring an old face, so they could really use it. But she was so good that she even brought duck eggs.

Seeing them laughing dumbly, Zhang said, "I know what you're laughing at." It's just, how old are you and what do you know? Do you know why I roll out the dough so chewy and smooth? This secret is inside this duck egg. ”

When the sisters heard this, they carefully carried their burdens upstairs, for fear that if the duck eggs were broken, the noodles would not taste good. It turns out that this inconspicuous duck egg is actually the secret.

Li followed Zhang into the stove, Zhang took a closer look, and saw that everything was needed, and even the rolling pins were made at home, so he said: "Hey, everything is complete, but this land is really a little small." But there is no way, it's just such a big place, and it will be used. ”

"Mother, why don't we make a few bowls and try them out? Our mother, just like your first guests. ”

Hearing this, Zhang said: "What's the panic, the ingredients are not ready, even if they are made, they are not delicious." Also, if you look at this shop, it doesn't even have a name, how can others remember it? ”

Li said: "Don't worry about this, the name has been thought of, it will be called Grandma Zhang's noodle restaurant." It's just that the plaque hasn't been made yet, but the words are really good. By the way, the couplet has been written, but it hasn't been delivered yet. ”

The words and couplets on this plaque were written by Ruan Yuzhu without telling Li and Ruan Yuping to ask where to go. After receiving this task, He Fang was overjoyed, and the package ticket must complete the task.

After the Li family found out, he scolded Ruan Yuzhu, and Ruan Yuzhu pouted and said, "Sooner or later, he will be my brother-in-law, it's just a matter of time." I asked my brother-in-law to help me write a few words and a couplet, so what's wrong? Whoever has an opinion will let her say it herself, but I'm not afraid. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Yuping didn't know what to say, and pretended not to hear. Li couldn't cry or laugh, pointing at Ruan Yuzhu and speechless.

Zhang Shi listened and said: "Hey, I can write a couplet casually, why spend this money." She thought that the reason why Li scolded Ruan Yuzhu was because Yuzhu didn't know how to save and spent money to find those reading gentlemen to write.

Who knows, Li said: "Mother, this doesn't cost money, it's Yuping...... Written by the people of the future in-laws. "Even if you are awkward, you won't say the words Yuping's future man.

Hearing this, Zhang glanced at Li in surprise, and was about to speak, when he heard a nice voice behind him shout: "Hello aunt!" ”

When I turned my head, I was a handsome offspring, but he was about fifteen years old, with a square scarf on his head, and a clean and handsome face, and he was not a character in the village at first glance.

Seeing Zhang staring at him, He Yi said to Li with some embarrassment: "Auntie, who is this?" But I don't know him. ”

He vaguely felt that this should be someone like a relative of the Ruan family.

Li said: "Hey, you kid, you've worked hard, you call your uncle to come and send it, and you have to bother you to run away." This is your Yuping's grandmother. ”

He Fang really didn't know what to call it, so after thinking about it, he simply called Yuping. Then he said simply: "Hello grandma, my name is Hefang, and my aunt is from the same village." ”

Zhang immediately praised the other party, and when he saw where he was looking into the shop, he pulled Li to the door to post a couplet.

Seeing that He Fang was already sitting at the table drinking tea, chatting with Yuzhu Yuping, he said to Li: "This is the child who is married to Yuping?" Well, Yuping's family story is good, and this kid is a good one at first glance. You can see by looking at the eyes, it's clean, and there are no fancy intestines. ”

When Li Shi heard this, she became more and more happy, and she also felt that He Fang was a good person.

After He Fang left, Zhang said: "Let's go, let's go to the vegetable market and buy some vegetables and come back." You two follow, and I'll show you how to buy it. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Yuzhu said: "Grandma, I can't buy fresh vegetables at this time, so I have to go in the morning." The current dish is wilting, and it is not good-looking. ”

But Zhang said: "I'm not going to buy those rotten vegetable leaves for customers to eat, it's just wilting, and the fresh vegetables and wilting dishes are not the same taste." Buy it now, it's cheap. A couple of fools! ”

As soon as Zhang said it, several people immediately understood, but this is not the reason. Besides, when the dish is hot, the fresh and wilted one is not the same.

After walking around, a few people found that the dishes sold now are really cheaper, and they are not necessarily wilted. For example, in the case of leeks, when they are sold in the morning, they cost three pennies. But now, perhaps the stall owner is in a hurry to sell the vegetables and rush home, and he can buy two handfuls for three pennies.

In this way, the cost alone is reduced a lot.

Zhang taught a few people experience while shopping for vegetables, and said: "Only when things are complete, there will be more customers." Although we will only try to do it tomorrow, we must have all the same, so that others will not come to the door and want to eat something, but we do not have it. ”

In the end, with a wave of his hand, the Zhang family bought nearly ten kinds of vegetables, but the money spent was only half of what they expected. Seeing this, several people felt a little teachable.

When he returned to the shop, Zhang said to a few people: "Say, which of these dishes do you like the most?" ”

In the end, Li chose onions, and both Yuzhu and Yuping chose leeks.

Zhang said: "Okay, at noon today, we will eat these two things." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went into the stove and began to make a face.

touched the side that was awake before going out of the door, and pressed it gently, and Zhang said: "Look, this side is almost awake like this." ”

After speaking, he began to roll the dough with a rolling pin.

It is worthy of being a lifelong dough roller, Zhang's skills are very skilled, and the Li family was stunned, just like watching a performance. It's strange to say, when it came to Zhang's hands, the side seemed to be very obedient, and she was allowed to rub it.

Thinking that he had to learn it, Li said: "Mother, you slow down, we can't learn if you are so fast." ”

The Li family has thought about it, usually she and the Zhang family help in the store, and when the farm is busy, she will go back to work, and let the two daughters follow the Zhang family to do business.

Although Yuzhu is still young, she will reach the age of marriage in two years. If you work in the fields, you don't look good when you get a tan. As for Yuping, the wedding date has been set for next spring, and it is still too late to start raising her.

Zhang said as he spoke: "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry, let's start learning tomorrow." Today, let's eat Lele first, which can be regarded as a celebration for tomorrow's opening. ”

Li listened to it and thought about it, anyway, Zhang had already agreed to stay, and he was not in a hurry. So he rolled up his sleeves and began to cut the onions, while Yuzhu and Yuping squatted on the table to choose leeks.

The leek root picked by Zhang's is hypertrophied, and it is very suitable for making cheeks.

After choosing leeks, the sisters Yuzhu and Yuping chatted at the door, leaving Zhang and Li's mother and daughter busy inside.

After a while, the smell wafted from the room.

Taking a breath, Yuzhu said, "Sister, is this shop really our family?" How I felt like I was in a dream. ”

Yuping smiled and said, "Of course it's ours, the deed is collected by my mother." But unlike you, I don't feel like I'm dreaming, because it's all something we worked hard for as a family. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Yuzhu was a little confused.

"You might think that we were able to get rid of bad luck so quickly because we were lucky, or because of the blessing of the Bodhisattva. However, this is not the case at all. Why didn't the bodhisattvas show up to bless us in our most desperate moments? ”

"I don't know if you've ever seen me crying alone by the pigsty, or if you know how I got up in the middle of the night to win a prize, and I'm not telling you this to show off. I just want to tell you that human life is in your own hands. In many cases, it has nothing to do with the Bodhisattva. ”

When Yuzhu heard Yuping's words, she suddenly felt that her previous thoughts had collapsed and were replaced by a new theory. Everyone believed in the Bodhisattva, but she didn't.

While the sisters were still talking, a young woman who looked to be about thirty came with a little boy of seven or eight years old. The woman was holding a large bowl with a large bowl of dumplings in it.

Seeing that the sisters were a little confused, the woman took the initiative to say: "I am from the shop next door, this is the dumpling we made, bring you a bowl and try it." ”

Hearing this, the Yuping sisters hurriedly stood up, looked at the bowl, and hesitated to take it. It was Li's voice that sounded in the back: "Take it, thank you Aunt Wu." ”

After Yuping took the bowl, Li said: "Big sister, we are making hand-rolled noodles, and we were going to send it to you when it was ready." That's right, it's going to be all right, you guys sit down first, and it'll be fine for a while. ”

It turned out that this woman's surname was Wu, and she had been guarding this shop here for so many years, specializing in selling dumplings. Because of the good location, the business is passable.

The shop next door sells baked cakes, and the couple is opening a shop. The man didn't know what his name was, because Li rarely saw him appear. However, the woman was very enthusiastic, about forty years old, surnamed Zhou, and Li took the initiative to say hello the next day after she came.

The Li family's shop is sandwiched in the middle, and it won't work if you don't have a good relationship. Therefore, the three families got to know each other while the shop was still being renovated. Anyway, there is no competition, and now the relationship is passable.

I just don't know what to do next.

"Okay, we're welcome, come, Xiaobao, come here and sit down." Ah The woman surnamed Wu glanced around and said in surprise: "I used to think that this shop was high, but I didn't expect to build an extra floor, or you are smart." ”

In this way, there is enough one more shop to come out. Even if the Li family sells the shop at this moment, it will make a lot of money.

After chatting for a while, the man surnamed Zhou also came, holding a few baked cakes in his hand. Seeing that the Wu family and their mothers were there, I thought to myself that I was lucky to have taken a few more when I went out, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

I'm afraid I won't get enough points.

Thinking like this in my heart, what I said was: "Big sister, I came when I smelled this fragrance to see what you did." If you want to say that this smell is too fragrant, you can't go wrong. By the way, this is a home-made pancake, so if you don't dislike it, you can take it and try it. ”

As he spoke, he gave one to each of the people present, even the Zhang family, who made noodles in the stove. In this regard, Zhang's was not polite, and began to bite.

Such a thing, don't eat it for nothing, don't eat it.

When the Li family saw this battle, they naturally knew the purpose of these two people's coming. Getting to know each other and building good relationships is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is to explore their reality and reality.

However, Li thinks it is normal, after all, the shops are so close to each other, if they sell the same food, they are competitors.

Thinking of this, Li said: "My mother is making hand-rolled noodles inside, you can also sit down, wait for a while, and taste my mother's craftsmanship." ”

When Wu heard this, he said: "This smell is fragrant, it must be delicious." It's just, Sister Li, are you planning to sell noodles? ”

"Yes, we are stupid in our brains and hands, and we only think about this business at the moment. I just want to try it out and open it tomorrow. ”

After chatting for a while, Zhang shouted inside, "Xiuxia, you come in and help bring the noodles out." ”

Seeing that there were a lot of people, Yuping and Yuzhu merged the two tables together, and then placed a few people to sit down.

Just saw a few more people, so Zhang took advantage of his free time to fry a few more eggs, and now everyone has a share.

Zhang's not only makes the noodles well, but also frries the eggs well. Other people's fried eggs are either fried and paste, or they are not good-looking. However, Zhang's fried omelette is golden in color and has some soft heart, which is very delicious.

After asking everyone about their preferences, Li brought the noodles to everyone one by one, and brought out the newly made chili oil, and then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare too many noodles today, so I only have a small bowl per person." ”

Wu and Zhou hurriedly said: "A lot, a lot, we have all eaten, just to taste the craftsmanship of the aunt." What's more, there's a fried egg in this bowl. ”

After hearing this, Zhang said: "Then you can quickly try your aunt's craftsmanship, and it is good to make suggestions." ”

Zhang is on the rise, and he feels that he has a heavy responsibility, so he wants to listen to the opinions of others. Zhou and Wu are both making food, and they have been doing it for many years, and their opinions are still very pertinent.

Several people were very face-saving and began to bury their heads in eating. However, the Zhang family didn't know that even if they had any opinions, they would not put them forward.

Yuzhu and Yuping have eaten the noodles made by Zhang's family for a long time, but this time the noodles are added with extra noodles, and the taste is naturally better than the taste of Zhang's family that has nothing to add.

It was the first time for Wu and Zhou, and both of them thought this noodle was very delicious. After a while, even the soup was drunk, which was both a sign of respect and a gesture of goodwill.

Wu Shi spoke first: "Auntie, your noodles are really delicious." I just said something, just by smelling it, I know it's not bad. Look at me, I've even finished the soup. ”

Zhou also said: "Yes, I haven't eaten such delicious noodles for a long time. But you have to get up early, there are some people here who have come to the city for breakfast. Just for your taste, this business is not bad. ”

After listening to Zhou's and Wu's praises, Zhang's heart was relieved. Although the noodles she makes have a good reputation in the village, this is in the city. These people have eaten everything, and their mouths are naturally very tricky.

Now that Wu and Zhou are saying yes, it's not much different.

After chatting for a while, Wu left first with the bowl. Xiaobao was still eating noodles, so Zhou said: "You are busy in the store, you go first, Xiaobao, I will help you watch it, rest assured." ”

Listening to a few people chatting happily, Yuping suddenly had a plan. It's just that when she said this, it seemed like she was calculating. Seeing the baked cakes next to her, Yuping had an idea and said, "Well, Aunt Zhou's baked cakes are also delicious, and with this soup, it will be even more delicious." ”

As he spoke, he took a bite of the cake and drank the soup.

When Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he said: "Big sister, Aunt Zhang, I have a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Zhang said: "Everyone is a cheerful person, you can talk about it." ”

Zhou said: "Although my baked cake is delicious, it is a little dry after eating. But your noodle soup is moderately salty and tastes very tasty, but it is a bit monotonous. It's better to eat it together like Yuping, and it will be perfect. ”

Zhang's hadn't turned the corner yet, but Li understood, but she didn't want to take the initiative to speak, after all, her own shop hadn't been straightened out yet, so she thought about it and said: "It's good, it's just a pity, I can't make baked cakes." ”

"You won't, I will!" Zhou said happily, "You see if this is okay, I will put the prepared baked cakes here with you every day, and when you sell noodles, you will ask the customers if they need to burn the cakes." Well...... Sell two, and I'll give you a penny, do you think that's okay? ”

Before Li could answer, Zhang said anxiously: "This is a good idea!" Okay, how not! That's it! ”

For Zhou, this couldn't be better. She can net two pennies for a baked cake, which means that the more Zhang helps sell, the more she earns.

As for the Zhang family, this baked cake is not made by them anyway, but just sold here. The more they sell, the more they earn. These pancakes don't take up space, but they are just casually asked when serving noodles.

All in all, it's a win-win.

After chatting for a while, Zhou put forward some very pertinent opinions, and took Xiaobao back, and then went back to the shop to make baked cakes.

And the Zhang family was not idle, they hurriedly went to the vegetable market, bought some of the various vegetables, and bought a bag of flour. Ruan Yuping sorted the previous seasonings and found some that could be used to make condiments.

In the middle of the afternoon, the plaque arrived.

After hanging up, Zhang asked, "Yuping, what is written on this!" ”

Yuping said: "This is written on Grandma Zhang's hand-rolled noodles."

When Zhang heard this, he grinned and said, "Well, this name is good!" The hand-rolled noodles I make, aren't they called Grandma Zhang's hand-rolled noodles! ”

A smug face, smiling with folds all over his face.

In the evening, several people sat in front of the shop again and began to choose vegetables and wash vegetables. Zhang woke up, washed all the pots and pans, and wiped the table. Seeing that everything was ready, a few people dragged their tired bodies up to the second floor to rest.

Li has a quirk, that is, he always feels that the door is not locked properly, or he feels that the fire is not extinguished. Therefore, although he fell asleep, he got up again and went downstairs to look at it again, and then went upstairs.

Early in the morning of the second day, following Zhou's advice, several people got up early. After washing, the shop was cleaned again. According to Yuping's suggestion, she fried ten more eggs in advance and put them away, and then began to wait for the guests to come.

Seeing that there were no guests for a while, Zhang became a little nervous, after all, this investment was not small. Li Shi said: "In this way, let's fry the cheeks first, so that the fragrance can be transmitted, and others will come when they smell it." After all, it's a newly opened shop, and many people don't know about it. Even if we can't sell it, we can take it home and eat it ourselves. ”

According to the agreement, Ruan Dalang will bring a few children to the shop today to have a look and help by the way, so Li said so.
