Chapter 120: Opening a Shop
"Glutinous rice chicken, glutinous rice balls, taro horns, phoenix feet, beautiful abalone wings, beef and cypress belly, pork ribs are sold cheaply. β
Li Chen opened his stall, and was still shouting, what a familiar melody this is, I don't know how many years it has been, it is a TV series that has accompanied you for a long time, I used to sit in front of the TV every Saturday and Sunday and wait, and my eyes at that time still retained that innocence.
At that time, I heard this song sung by one of the four brothers in the TV series, which was the theme song of the adaptation of "Shanghai Tang".
However, today, he Li Chen used it in the other world, and he still made his own food stall.
Li Chen's singing resounded throughout the street, and people from all directions turned their heads to look, and that unique tone attracted many people.
It is a language of Li Chen on the earth, Cantonese, not a dialect, it is a language, Cantonese not only has its tone, but also has written representation, it is one of the seven major dialects of China, and it is an important language of the Chinese nation.
The vocabulary of Cantonese is divided into Chinese characters, Cantonese words, and loanwords.
Kanji words: the most commonly used, accounting for the majority of the vocabulary, such as "time".
Cantonese words: Refers to Cantonese words, such as "dexian words".
Loanword: refers to a word composed of foreign Chinese dialects, such as "εΎε²‘" in everyday Cantonese language means "store" in English.
Cantonese is a language that originated in the north of the Central Plains Yayan (the mother tongue of the Han nationality) and spread to the Liangguang region during the Qin and Han dynasties and merged with the local ancient Yue language, and is also the dominant dialect in Hong Kong and Macao, and is called vernacular or Cantonese by the folks.
Cantonese is a tonal language belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is widely used in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, as well as in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia. Its name comes from the "Nanyue Kingdom" ("Nanyue Kingdom" in the Book of Han) in the Lingnan region of ancient China.
In the early days, the center of Cantonese was not in Guangzhou, but in Guangxin (Guangxin, the capital of Jiaozhou in the ancient Han Dynasty, located in the area of present-day Wuzhou, Hezhou and Fengkai in Guangdong, that is, the area where the Xijiang River and the Hejiang River meet. Experts and scholars in recent years have confirmed that since 106 BC, Guangxin, as the political, economic and cultural center of Lingnan, has been known as the "ancient capital of Lingnan" and the earliest birthplace of Lingnan culture and Cantonese after more than 300 years.
This unique tone attracts a lot of attention.
It sounded like a chicken and a duck, and although they couldn't understand it, they had never heard such a tone before, and they didn't know which language it was, but strangely enough, they understood it in a subtle way.
They were also very strange, they didn't know what it was, but they didn't reject it very much, but accepted it a little.
"Where is this language, such a strange tone, where did Xiao Chen learn it. β
Chen Yanrou had a very question mark, she couldn't understand what Li Chen was saying, and suddenly, she was stupid, her eyes blinked, her lips opened slightly, and she looked at Li Chen in a daze.
So many people looked over one after another, just like looking at Li Chen with the eyes of a monkey.
The work in Wang Shan's hands was suspended, and he felt very awkward, and the people on the street were looking at them, strange and embarrassed, and he felt very embarrassed.
Wang Shan wanted to find a place to get in, and he really felt a little embarrassed.
However, Li Chen didn't seem to have anything to do, just buried himself in hard work, as if nothing had happened, ignoring the eyes of outsiders, and kept shouting.
Although the people on the street heard Li Chen's shouting, they also stood still, not wanting to walk to Li Chen's stall in the slightest, just watching from a distance.
They all think that Li Chen is a newcomer and has little experience, although many people know Li Chen and know that he helped them solve the cancer in Qingling Town, so that the life of the people in the town is better, but it does not mean that they will help them for Li Chen, but they will help Li Chen buy it.
Because they are all accustomed to eating the food in the town, and they are all very familiar with the shops in the town, when a new food seller suddenly appears, they will question whether it is delicious, and will they think that it is delicious, will there be something bad in it...... Everyone has these thoughts, and they won't know what it tastes like until they've eaten them, but they guess that they're never willing to be the first to try them.
And those who come from the outside are even more reluctant to come forward, when they see no one going up, then they will stop and make an evaluation in their hearts, even if it is good, but no one goes, it will be affected by people It is not good, this is the psychology of the masses, and the pace will follow others.
However, Li Chen didn't worry about it, thinking that it was normal, and someone would buy it slowly.
"Xiao Chen, will anyone really come to buy these when we make them?" Chen Yanrou saw that although some people would turn their heads to look over from time to time, they only glanced at it a few times, and they didn't trust the food they made at all.
Not long after, several four or five-year-old children came to Li Chen's stall, standing in front of Li Chen's stall and stupid, muttering non-stop.
At this time, a boy with two pale green snots, a boy with blue hair and bright eyes, said to him: "Let's go, it's not delicious here, let's go to the old camel!"
"Yes, the old camel has better food. Another little girl with a double ponytail took the hand of the blue-haired boy and whispered.
"Nope. The blue-haired boy was reluctant to eat here, his eyes full of curiosity, a desire to explore everything.
"Big brother, what's there to eat here. Then, the little blue-haired boy took a step forward and muttered.
And the little girl pouted, seeming a little unhappy.
"There's a lot of stuff here, so kid, you want to eat that!"
Li Chen didn't hate them because the first guest was a child, but smiled at them and said to them, thinking of himself as a child.
"I, I...... I'll eat this!"
The little boy with slightly blue hair looked around, very hesitant, his eyes were full of many kinds of food, his bright eyes were rolling and turning, and his pink mouth was gently biting his little finger.
He was full of cravings for all the food he ate, thinking that he wanted to eat all the food in front of him, and he wanted Li Chen to do everything, but he didn't have much money, for fear that his money would not be enough, and he couldn't eat so much.
So, after thinking about it for a long time, he chose a cheong fun, which he thought was more delicious.
The other children watched the little boy with blue hair order food, their saliva kept swallowing, and they didn't dare to eat it if they wanted to, for fear that Li Chen's cooking would not be delicious.
"You're going to eat this. Li Chen pointed to the rice noodles and said to the little boy with slightly blue hair.
"Hmm!" the little boy nodded slightly.
"Okay, just wait a minute. β
Li Chen said with a smile.
Afterwards, Chen Yanrou took them to the dinner table and sat down.
Li Chen's movements were fast and smooth, every step was clean and neat, and soon, the rice noodles made by Li Chen were ready.
"It's done, kid, do you want it spicy?" Li Chen asked, holding the freshly baked rice rolls in his hand.
"Hmm~ Don't. β
The little boy with slightly blue hair thought about it and said suddenly.
"It's coming. β
Then Li Chen added the sauce and handed it to the little boy.
"Wow~"
The other children looked at the dish of rice rolls, and they all drooled instantly, and they had the urge to eat it.
Then the little boy with the faint blue hair started.
"It's delicious!"
"Millet ~"
When the little boy took a bite, he couldn't help but admire it, and then he ate it like crazy.
"Every day, it's really delicious. β
Seeing that the little boy with blue hair had eaten all the food, the little girl with the double ponytail hesitated and asked.
The other children pricked up their ears and listened.
"Well, this one is really delicious, don't believe me, you can try it??"
Tian Tian nodded violently and said seriously.
"How much is this big brother?" Then, Tian Tian reached into his pocket and took it out, and then, took out six copper plates from his pocket.
"This costs three cents. β
Pointing with his little hand, "One, two, three......"
"Just enough to eat once. Tian Tian saw that he had six copper coins, and there were exactly three left, so he wanted to eat again, "Big brother, I want to eat again." β
Tian Tian handed the money to Li Chen, and after Li Chen took the money, he said, "Okay, big brother will get it for you right away." β
Li Chen didn't suspect the six copper coins in his hand, this was his first business today, and it also opened an opening for him.
"I want a copy too. β
The little girl suddenly popped up and said.
Seeing that some people shouted, the others couldn't bear it, and they wanted to taste it too.
"I want it too. β
"Me too"
......
"Okay, take your time, don't rush. β
Li Chen smiled happily.
......
"It's really delicious!"
"Well, yes. β
"Next time, let's do it again!"
"Okay. β
Suddenly, the children who had eaten enough ran away, and they didn't forget to praise Li Chen's rice rolls when they left.
"I smiled very happily just now, and I didn't make much money, is it worth being happy?" Chen Yanrou was a little incomprehensible, looked at Li Chen and asked.
"Of course it's worth having fun, it's just the beginning, and it's going to get better and better. β
It didn't take long for another group of children to arrive.
These children all ordered Li Chen's rice noodles, and of course some little fat people also ordered others.
Suddenly there were so many children running, Li Chen couldn't do it alone, so he asked Chen Yanrou and them to come over to help.
These children seem to have been called by the children who came to eat Li Chen's rice rolls before.
As if the Taotao gate had been opened, with the help of a child, it didn't take long for other people on the street to come over and order Li Chen's food.
Subsequently, more and more people came to line up on the street, and at this time, Li Chen became even busier.
In just one night, Li Chen earned more than 3,000 yuan, which is already a good income.
