Chapter 66: The Wonton Stalls are opened
Hua Manxi washed his hands in the stream on one side, wiped them with a rag, and the boiling water was also boiling.
She grabbed a dozen wontons from the basket, put them in the pot, scalded them for a while, knew that the wonton skin was discolored and cooked thoroughly, then scooped them up with a colander and drained the water, and put them in a large bowl.
Let go of the colander and use another spoon to scoop a spoonful of the charcoal-warmed soup base from the pot containing the soup base, pour it into the wonton bowl, pour in a little sesame oil, and sprinkle a handful of green green onions.
After a while, Hua Manxi brought a bowl full of wontons to the table where Xu Jinfei was sitting.
"Taste it. No money! Treat you. Hua Manxi brought the chopsticks holder, took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to him.
Xu Jinfei's gaze was retracted and turned to the wonton on the desktop.
The bright soup color, small wonton, and green onion are delicious.
He scooped up a wonton with chopsticks, blew it, put it in his mouth, the tender wonton skin, the skin is thin and filling, just bite open, the tight and fragrant filling inside runs out, a bite, the juice is overflowing, fragrant and delicious.
"Not bad." Xu Shizi commented proudly.
Hua Manxi was about to ask him about the title deed, but before he could speak, the sound of riding a horse suddenly came from the official road.
"Yo, when did you open a stall here, I haven't seen it in the past two days." A man on horseback stopped and asked his companion.
"Wonton, a bowl of six cents? What is a wonton, it smells like it's delicious, why don't you eat a bowl? Six cents is nothing. ”
After a few words, the two turned over and dismounted.
"It's still a little girl." The person who came put the burden in his hand on the table, "Although the six yuan is not much, you can buy a bowl of somen noodles in the city, you little girl looks no more than ten years old, don't fool the master!" ”
"Guest officer, open a store to welcome customers, although the stall is small, but it is a long-term business, there is no intention to fool the guests, a bowl of wonton for six cents will definitely let you eat the taste of ten cents!" Hua Manxi said calmly, "You want two bowls, right?" ”
"Little girl, your tone is quite big, so let's try two bowls first!" The other man smiled heartily and placed the sword on the table.
However, Hua Manxi still did not panic in the slightest, his face was as usual, and he counted thirty wontons from the basket and threw them into boiling water to boil.
Her wonton is fifteen a bowl, although it can't be eaten too much, but it is definitely okay for ordinary people to have a full stomach.
Fish out the wonton, put it on the soup, drip oil, sprinkle chopped green onions, and it's all in one go.
"Two guests use slowly." Hua Manxi brought up two bowls of full wontons and said politely.
The two of them had been in a hurry for a long time, and they were also very hungry, smelling the smell of this wonton and the colors were bright, and they couldn't help but take the chopsticks and start eating.
"Well, this thing is actually not bad, there is such a delicious taste in this little ravine!"
"This soup is not bad either!"
"It's worth six cents!"
The two of them quickly gobbled up two bowls of wonton, wiped their mouths, and put down the twelve cents.
"Little girl, this wonton tastes good, I'll eat it here next time."
"Thank you uncle for the compliment, go slowly." Hua Manxi smiled sweetly and put the silver in his pocket.
Soon the workers got off work, and under the leadership of Uncle Yang, they came here to buy wontons to eat, and the three tables couldn't sit down, and many people were standing to eat.
Fortunately, Hua Manxi was prepared and packed a lot of wontons, otherwise it would not be enough to sell.
After finishing this lunch, she felt that her hands were sore, so she put the bowl of chopsticks in the pot, and planned to push it back to wash her aunt.
"Your business is not bad, you make a lot of money a day." Xu Dashizi's bowl of wonton is really from the opening of the stall to the closing of the stall.
"No." Hua Manxi rubbed his arm tiredly and said disapprovingly.
"I calculated, I sold forty-six bowls, a total of two hundred and seventy-six yuan, after removing the cost, the noodles are about thirty yuan, and the meat is about eighty yuan, and you earn more than one or two silver a day." Xu Shizi is not in a hurry.
"So what?" Hua Manxi looked at him in astonishment, he sat there for so long, did he just want to see how much silver she earned a day?
"So-" Xu Shizi suddenly looked away a little cowardly, and said after a long while, "So you really want to be a cook in my house?" ”
"Poof-" Hua Manxi couldn't help laughing, "Does my Hua Manxi look like that kind of person who doesn't believe in his word?" By the way, what about my stuff? ”
"In my arms." Xu Shizi's face did not change his color.
"Take it and see if it's wrong." Hua Manxi said in a hurry, stepped forward, reached out into his arms, and sure enough, he took out a stack of papers.
Although she is not very good at writing traditional characters, she can read, and there should be nothing wrong with it, she nodded and put her things in her arms.
"Do you understand?" Xu Dashizi glanced at her suspiciously.
"My handwriting is ugly, it doesn't mean I don't know words, Xu Gongzi." Hua Manxi glanced at him, and rubbed his sore wrist again, "Closing the stall, I'm tired, and my hand is going to break." ”
"Wait." Xu Jinfei suddenly made a move, grabbed her wrist, and then took out a small bottle of ointment from his arms.
"This is an ointment for abrasions, and you can rub it if your hands hurt." Xu Jinfei took out the ointment and put it on her palm, but he didn't immediately remove his palm.
"You-" Hua Manxi suddenly felt warm in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at his cold and noble side face, "You own a pharmacy at home?" ”
Xu Jinfei: "......" slowed his breathing and forcibly calmed down: "No." ”
"What are you doing? Isn't there a shame in broad daylight? A cold and serious voice interrupted what Hua Manxi was about to speak.
Hua Manxi followed the sound and saw a scholar in a green shirt standing at the door of the stall, with a delicate face and a thin body, it was Ding Shuqing.
His expression was solemn, his eyes were staring directly at the hands of Hua Manxi and Xu Jinfei, and his face sank like water.
"Two guest officers, are you eating?" Hua Manxi's expression did not change in the slightest, and he raised his eyes lightly, meeting Ding Shuqing's disgusted and disdainful gaze.
"Under the blue sky and white sun, pull and pull with men! It's shameless to show up! Ding Shuqing snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on Xu Jinfei beside Hua Manxi.
Xiao Cun Gu is the person he covers, saying this about Xiao Cun Aunt, Xu Da Shizi is naturally unhappy, he sank his face, and was about to take a step forward, but was dragged by Hua Manxi.
"Young Master Xu, more is better than less, you go back first, I'm going to close the stall too." Hua Manxi deliberately lowered his voice to persuade.
Xu Jinfei paused at this time, with a murderous cold air in his eyes, he glanced at Ding Shuqing fiercely, and then left with his sleeves brushed up.
"Flowers are full of streams! Is this your new good-looking? Didn't you get along with Liu Boqing? How? One outside, one in the house? You don't have a small appetite. Ding Shuqing asked in a cold voice.
"Two guest officers, are you eating? Fresh wonton, six cents a bowl. Hua Manxi didn't pay any attention to him, and wiped the table with a rag on his own.
"Eat, eat! Eat! That Liu Boqing didn't brag to other gentlemen in the academy, saying that he recognized a righteous sister, how good the cooking skills are, I still don't believe it, you don't go out of the door, the little village girl who doesn't go out of the second door, how good the cooking skills can be! The young man standing next to Ding Shuqing shouted.
It was Li Zheng's son Qin Feng.
"Mr. Ding, do you want to eat?" Qin Feng knew the relationship between Ding Shuqing and Hua Manxi, and he had a sense of watching a good show, and he grinned.
"Don't eat it." Ding Shuqing sneered coldly, "What good things can she make, I don't know how many catties and taels she has?" ”
"Eat, go back to my house after eating, I'll invite you." Qin Feng touched his stomach, "I'm tired after a day's journey." ”
Ding Shuqing glanced at Qin Feng, and then at Hua Manxi, who didn't care about them at all, then snorted coldly, pretending to be arrogant and said: "Okay, I also want to see what she has to do, so she came here to be embarrassed!"
"Two bowls of wonton." Qin Feng sat down and shouted at Hua Manxi.
How can there be a door-to-door business that is not done? Hua Manxi is not a person who can't get along with money.
She smiled sweetly and responded, "Okay, wait a minute." ”
However, when she walked to the stove and was about to cook wonton, she frowned and said, "I'm sorry, two guest officers, there is only one bowl of wonton left." ”
When Ding Shuqing heard this, he stood up suddenly, and his voice was a little disdainful: "You are deliberately teasing us, aren't you?" Is this your attitude towards buying and selling? What a waste of tongue! Qin Feng, let's go! ”
"Ouch, this guest officer, what you said is quite funny, I open a stall to do business, can I still get along with money? I have fifteen wontons in a bowl, and now there are only eighteen left, isn't it enough? Am I deliberately not selling it to you? How big is your face that makes me unable to get along with the silver? Hua Manxi was really angry and laughed.
This self-righteous, lonely and narcissistic character, I really don't know what the original owner likes about him? That's all you like, isn't it?
Besides, this skin can't be regarded as better than Pan An, right? As soon as Xu Gongzi stops here, can he be compared to an inconspicuous grass?
Ding Shuqing listened to her merciless ridicule, and remembered that day when she asked herself about getting her clothes and silver back, she suddenly held her stomach in her heart!
Didn't this damn woman fall into the eyes of money because her mother forced her to pay back the money? Besides, didn't he signal his mother to follow her, even if he married the second child, he would also have two rooms? She is so tight on money, is she not willing to marry the second baby?
Here he was uneasy, but Qin Feng seemed to be possessed by a gluttonous ghost, and said to Hua Manxi: "One bowl is one bowl, today the master has to try it!" Otherwise, Liu Boqing showed off in the academy all day long! ”
"Okay, wait a minute. The last bowl, for you to add ingredients. Hua Manxi directly ignored Ding Shuqing and sweetly responded to Qin Feng's words.
