A new noodle stall was set up outside the south of Tongzhou City.

The noodle stall hung a hoop under the guise of a hoop, supported the boss's rain canopy, and there were five wooden square tables in the shed, with new oil paint, which looked brand new, and there were benches on each side, which looked very stable and stable.

The cart in front of the stall is carrying a large iron pot, and the blanching funnel is buckled on the side of the pot, and the noodles are coiled inside, and boiling water is boiling......

Sanniang greeted the guests, and when she saw some hesitation, she warmly invited in:

"Brother and sister-in-law are tired of walking all the way, this is still dragging the doll, come in and eat a bowl of somen noodles, rest your feet"

At this moment, the spicy and vegetarian shredded meat with astringency came out of the wok, and a burst of fragrance wafted out, making them hungry.

The little doll was clamoring for incense to eat, and his father and mother doted on him, so he walked in and sat down, unloaded the burden he was carrying, and called a bowl of noodles to eat.

Luo Shi knocked out of the funnel, put it in a large bowl, and then poured the spicy vegetarian shredded meat that was fried out of the pot, and piled up a bowl full of covered noodles, which was served to the guests fragrantly.

The color and flavor are all similar to the fish-flavored shredded pork, but the shredded pork in it is made of soybean shredding, and fried with fish-flavored sauce.

The little doll pulled out the chopsticks, rolled the noodles and sent them to her mouth, and she was full after two bites. He looked around, saw something amazing, hurriedly got off the table and ran towards Niu Qian, and exclaimed:

"Wow, uncle, what kind of fun is this!"

"It's called a string of drums, and it's also called a windmill!"

Niu Qian set up a cart in front of the noodle stall, and there were big windmills tied with sorghum poles and slices on it!

Dongchang paper paste has become a wind wheel on the top, red and green, there is a small drum made of hemp paper behind the wind wheel, the wind blows the wind wheel to drive with the small stick, hitting the drum surface and knocking!

The little doll's eyes were straight, and she hurriedly begged her parents: "Mom! Mother! I want this! ”

Luo Shi smiled and walked over and squatted down, pulled one off the cart, and stuffed it into his hand: "Oh, take it and play."

The little doll clapped his hands happily, and the moment he took the drums, he ran out as if he was happy, and he held the wind wheel high, listening to the sound of the drum, which was very fun.

After eating the noodles, Wata's father wiped his mouth and asked:

"How is this somen noodles as delicious as big meat noodles, in the past, I always ate hot soup noodles with clear soup and little water, but there are some green onions, today I am really full, how much is the store?"

Sanniang went to check out and said softly: "The guest officer has three bowls of spicy vegetarian meat noodles, a total of eighteen yuan."

"It's so cheap, wow, and that gadget, it's only eighteen wen together? In the past, a bowl of hot noodle soup at a tea noodle stall cost four cents."

"That string drum is for you, not only for sale, but only for noodles" Sanniang smiled and took the copper coin and took the noodle bowl.

The baby mother picked up the burden and said with a smile: "This is really cost-effective, this string of drums looks like the dolls, and you are really good at doing business."

The little doll played around with the drums outside, which attracted the attention of many other children, and everyone followed him and asked where they got it, and a swarm of bees came to the cow dry place, holding copper coins to buy drums.

Knowing that there was a string of drums to eat noodles, he rushed back and dragged the adults into the noodle stall to eat noodles.

The little doll was devoted to the toy, but the adults were full of praise for the plain face, and unanimously said that they would come back in the future.

Somehow it spread in Tongzhou City, and the most fashionable toy in Layue is this string of drums.

The child walks the streets and alleys, attacking and defending, and there are strings of windmills tied behind him, which feels like a general who kills the enemy on the battlefield, and the "war drums" behind him are beating loudly and majestic.

With attention, you don't have to worry about the bad business of the noodle stall.

There were not enough five tables in the noodle stall, and even for the sake of drumming, they had to brave the bitter cold wind and wait in a long line to be taken home.

Finally, after the meal, everyone gradually became a little less.

Luo Shi was so busy that her waist couldn't straighten up, she has been helping Sanniang run a noodle stall for the past few days, surviving the most difficult beginning, and when everything is on the right track, she is also relieved to leave it to her to run it alone.

Rubbing her waist, she sat down on the table and sighed: "I can't be a cook, I can't eat this day of oil, salt and bitterness."

Sanniang washed the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her hands, walked behind Luo Shi, rubbed her waist for her, and said with a warm smile:

"I don't know how to thank you, how to thank you is not enough, after the wax moon, I will find a guy to help, and I don't dare to call you ruthlessly"

Feeling the strength of Sanniang's hand, Luo Shi hummed comfortably, and pointed to Niu Qian:

"Brother Niu Qian's hard work, how many drums have been made, and his hands have grinded out the boss's blisters"

"Hehe, it's not hard, it's not hard, I like to make drums, I'm happy to see the little doll, and I'm comfortable, it's all small things, where is it time-consuming and laborious compared to a large piece of wood"

As soon as he answered the words, he kept doing it with his hands.

That day, Luo Shi saw the wind blowing Dongchang paper, so he had the idea of making windmills.

Niu Qian was originally dexterous and flexible, she only told him a rough idea, principle and material, and he could figure out a finished thing by himself.

In addition, there are not hundreds, but there are always eighty or ninety of them, practice makes perfect, and now you can make one with your eyes closed.

"It's going to be Laba tomorrow, and I've saved a lot of money in the past few days, so it's better to ask someone to build an adobe thatched hut tomorrow, and then delay it for a few days, everyone is busy with the year, and few people are willing to take over the work."

Sanniang lowered her head and counted out the copper coins from the money jar, stringing each hundred into a string.

Luo Shi nodded when he heard this: "Then let's rest for a few days, get the house up first, and choose the place?" ”

"I've chosen, it's just east of your house, across a Ushiga's house, and there is still a piece of land left on the east side of him, backed by a bamboo forest, and I'm going to get up there."

Luo Shi frowned when she heard this, and her heart beat a drum, this Niu He is not a good thing, she is helpless to be a neighbor with him, how can Sanniang have to move to him.

"I know what you're thinking, but I can't do it, I'm going to go into the mountains farther away, and when the court built and resettled the thatched hut, I basically occupied all the suitable land, and I also wanted to be closer to you, so I chose there" Sanniang paused, and then said:

"I've always had nothing to do with Niu He, just hide from him, I don't think he will trouble me"

"I hope so"

The waist plate made Sanniang pinch it comfortably, Luo Shi rose a big lazy waist, felt that the whole person was relaxed, and just wanted to praise her for her good craftsmanship, but saw the soil outside raised, and a carriage galloped quickly.

It's also strange to say that the carriage, which did not avoid pedestrians and was arrogant, stopped when it arrived at the noodle stall!

Luo Shi looked at the carriage and saw that the old horse was thin and sharp, and the horse's hooves were cracked, and he had no energy. The carriage at the back was surrounded by azure cloth felt, and some colorful silk pieces hung from the four corners, which looked half-old and not new, not like the style of a wealthy family in Zhumen.

A pair of jade hands opened the curtains, revealing half of the face of the apricot blossom, and the half moon did not see her actually pulling up the woman's hair bun, her face was heavy with fat powder, her lips were dyed red, and her eyes were full of mockery and disgust.

She deliberately tightened her cuffs, revealing a gold-beaten shrimp bracelet, and said with a clever smile:

"Isn't this Sister Rossy? Why do you sell noodles here on such a cold day? ”

I don't know if it's a verbal fight, she said that this "face" is "life"

Luo Shi smiled at her, and said lukewarmly: "Of course, those who are self-reliant have to sell their lives, and every penny earned is deserved...... Also coming."

Xinghua's complexion changed, and she almost wanted to have a seizure, but the driver who was driving the car was still there, she held back her anger and sneered:

"I'm now Mrs. Ling of Qingshan County, do you dare to be disrespectful to me?"

This is something Luo Xi didn't expect, she always thought that she was in a rich family and became the wife of the first aunt in the family, but she didn't expect that she was still a county magistrate.

"Oh, when is it, I don't necessarily have to ask for a name - anyway, congratulations"

Hugging her fists, she squeezed out a standard nonchalant smile, and then turned her head away, trying to send her away.

"Radiance!"

These words were like a heart-wrenching knife, poking at Xinghua's chest. She is the outer house of the county order, and she is not even a concubine.

Her father Niu Baoshan and the county government's master of money and grain are milk brothers, I heard that the original match of the county order could not lay eggs, and he was a fierce woman, and he resolutely refused to let him take a concubine, so the county commander had the idea of raising a foreign house.

Her mother refused, only Niu Baoshan insisted, and there was no need to ask for names, only a sedan chair was carried in the middle of the night, and the county commander was ruthlessly ruined, and the next day the person disappeared. Only she has a shrimp bracelet and a serving mother-in-law.

She was sure that Luo Xi was envious of her, so she sarcastically sarcastic her so eloquently, thinking like this, she felt comfortable in her heart, and her eyes became more and more arrogant:

"Ross, when you beg me!"

With that, she slammed down the curtain and urged the coachman to hurry back.

As if in response to the usual routine, the carriage raised a heavy layer of dust, which instantly covered Luo Shi's face, and she couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth:

“shit!”

A good pot of noodle soup was ruined like this, Luo Shi went to wash the pot again, and chatted with Sanniang:

"Why is there no news in the village at all, it is a great joy to be the county lady, even if it is a concubine, it is enough for Aunt Osmanthus to be a year and a half, but she is not seen, it is a strange thing"

"I'm afraid it's not a serious person who came in the door, I heard that the wife of the main house of Qingshan County Order is a jealous Hedong lion, and men have never been allowed to take concubines, maybe because they haven't given birth to a boy and a girl when they're old, so they gradually relented."

"Oh, that's a fire pit too"

Luo Shi brushed the bottom of the pot, wiped it clean with a dry cloth little by little, she and Xinghua have no big grudges, listening to her situation, if you want to say that you are happy to beat gongs and drums in your heart, it must be fake.

After a few words of gossip, she and Sanniang went separately to work, and at this time the people who went to work in the city were ready to go back to the village, and some were hungry, or the family was cold pots and stoves, so they were willing to eat and walk on the roadside stalls.

Sanniang somen stall has been popular recently, many people have heard praise, but they have never eaten it, they all want to come to a bowl to taste, or just to bring a string of drums to the little doll at home, so there are many people and business is thriving, and after a while, several tables are full.

"Shopkeeper, let's have a bowl of spicy vegetarian meat topping noodles!"

"Okay!"

Luo Shi answered, and then heard a slippery sound, and the slices of vegetarian meat had slipped into the oil pot-
