Chapter 42: It's Open
It's the middle of August and the weather is getting cooler, but the food is still not available.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked over with a little girl.
"Little girl, what is this selling?"
Qiubai is embarrassed, there is no sign in this stall, she is thin-skinned and doesn't dare to shout, so people don't even know what she sells.
“…… There are dumplings and fried dumplings and fried buns, do you want to try it? ”
The middle-aged woman thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Then bring me a fried dumpling, it's the first time I've heard of it, taste it fresh." ”
"There are two kinds of leek and cabbage, which one do you want?"
"Both."
"Oh~ You sit down first, and you'll be fine right away!" Qiu Bai pointed to the table and stool next to the stall.
The middle-aged woman took the little girl and sat down.
Qiubai put the pan on the stove, put the lard on the pot as soon as it was hot, and then took five of each of the two traps and put them into the pot, poured a little water and began to boil, the water quickly boiled dry, and then the bottom of the dumplings was fried brown.
Qiubai hurriedly took out a small plate and brought the dumplings to the woman, "There are vinegar and chili peppers, do you want to add them?" ”
The woman said, "Get me some vinegar, this fried dumpling is quite fragrant."
Qiubai took a small porcelain bowl and poured a little vinegar over it, and said with a smile: "It tastes fragrant."
The woman picked up a fried dumpling and ordered a little vinegar and took a bite, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which was very refreshing.
"Hmm~ It tastes really good!" The woman praised heartily.
Qiubai was very happy when he heard this.
The woman suddenly said halfway through eating, "Hey, you're making me a fried dumpling, I'm going to take it back."
Qiubai responded again and again, "Okay, but this fried dumpling is not delicious when it is cold." ”
The woman waved her hand at her, "It's okay, I live nearby, it won't be cold." ”
Qiubai fried the dumplings quickly, wrapped them in oiled paper, and put them in front of the woman, "Okay." ”
The woman took the fried dumplings into her arms and asked, "How much?"
"One is five cents, and one is ten cents."
Even if she had posted it before, the cost of ten dumplings was about one penny, plus those miscellaneous ones, the cost of two pennies at most, so she could earn three pennies for one fried dumpling.
If she can sell a hundred copies a day, she can earn three hundred wen. She was happy just thinking about it. *^_^*
The middle-aged woman took out ten copper plates from her money bag and put them on the table, "It's delicious, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
"Whoa! Walk slowly. Qiu Bai picked up the copper plate on the table and carefully received the newly made money bag.
When a guest has the first, there will be a second.
Qiubai was worried that the dough and trapping would be wasted, but by the time the sun began to sink in the west, the things were almost sold.
At this time, there are basically no customers, so the remaining dough and trapping are all wrapped into buns, and then fried in a pan.
Then I collected the stall and prepared to go back to the hut, and on the way I passed a vegetable and fruit shop, and then put the stall by the door of the store and walked in.
There is basically no one to buy vegetables at this time, and some vegetables can generally be stored for two days at most without a refrigerator, otherwise they will be rotten and withered.
Qiubai bought all the last leeks in the basket, and then took three cabbages and a few lotus roots.
"Boss, let's get cheaper."
The boss is a woman in her twenties, named Zhang Lan, with a round face and a deep pear vortex, which is very comfortable to look at.
"Okay, what are you selling?" Zhang Lan pointed to the stall at the door.
"Dumplings, buns, boss, have time to eat." Qiubai said with a smile.
Zhang Lan weighed the dishes the same, "Okay, then you have to give me a cheaper." But it was in her words that she replied.
Qiu Bai smiled generously, "Okay, how much do I have these things?" ”
"Leeks are worth a penny for you, cabbage is worth four cents, lotus root is eight cents, and thirteen cents are together."
Well, it's really not expensive.
Qiu Bai nodded, took out the money bag and took out thirteen coins and handed it over, "You count." ”
Zhang Lan threw the copper coin into the drawer, "No, look at you, this girl is not that cunning person." ”
Qiubai hugged the vegetables and said with a smile: "You have a good eye!" As he spoke, he walked out of the shop and put the food on the stall.
Opposite the vegetable and fruit shop is the pork shop, Qiubai stopped and bought a pound and a half of pork belly, spending twenty-one cents.
Then he pushed the stall to the hut.
Qiu Xiao, who hadn't seen her for a few days, was sitting in the courtyard, her face was red and her eyes were red.
After seeing Qiubai pushing the stall in, he grinned at her, and his expression was very obscene.
Qiubai looked at Qiu Xiao like that, felt disgusted and uncomfortable, but after all, she was the owner of her house, so she naturally couldn't show her face, so she smiled perfunctorily at him.
At this time, Xiao Guizhu walked out of the kitchen, and greeted Qiubai with a smile after seeing him, "Xiaoqiu is back, we are just going to eat, do you want to eat together?" ”
Qiu Bai shook his head again and again, but said, "No need, no need, I've eaten it." By the way, this is a fried bun that I didn't sell out today. As he spoke, he took out two fried buns from the covered pot and handed them to Xiao Guizhu, "You taste them." ”
Xiao Guizhu hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, "This kid, you can eat it yourself." ”
Qiu Bai smiled, "Anyway, it's too much, and it's a waste for me to put it away." "Borrowing someone's kitchen for so long, and burning other people's firewood every day, give some benefits and people will feel more comfortable, and it will be easier to borrow it next time.
Xiao Guizhu smiled at the corners of his eyes, "Your mouth is just talking." ”
Qiu Bai smiled, turned around and began to clean up the stall, and when the stall was cleaned up, he wrapped the fried buns in the pot in oil paper, and said to Xiao Guizhu: "Auntie, I still have to go out, it may not be dark until I come back, you leave a door for me."
"Whoa." Xiao Guizhu nodded and agreed.
When he stepped out of the small courtyard, it had already begun to darken, and Qiubai quickened his pace.
The Fulin Inn is closed, the door is half-closed, and the inside is brightly lit.
Qiu Bai raised his hand to push open the door and walked in, and saw Lin Xiao dialing the abacus behind the counter again.
It seems that nine out of ten times he saw him was dialing the abacus.
"Good evening, boss!" Qiu Bai smiled and leaned over to say hello.
Lin Xiao glanced up at her, shrugged his nose and said, "What is so fragrant?"
Hearing this, Qiubai hurriedly lifted the paper bag, "Do you want to eat one of the fried buns I made?" After seeing Lin Xiao nodding, Qiu Bai hurriedly opened the paper bag and handed it to Lin Xiao, "You can take it yourself." She was afraid that he would think her hands were dirty.
Lin Xiao cocked his little finger and picked up one and took a bite, "Let's chirp" and chewed twice, then nodded slightly, "It tastes good." ”
"The boss is busy, I'm looking for Xiaoling." As she spoke, she went to the back kitchen.
