Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Strange Smell

"No one taught me, I figured it out myself. I won't let them bully! Wang Lian said.

"Yes, there are advances and retreats, neither humble nor arrogant, she is really my smart and clever daughter!"

Liu Wan couldn't help but hug Wang Lian and kissed her the cheek.

Wang Lian was flattered, and never expected to be able to get the intimacy of her mother.

It seems that her mother has never hugged her, and Wang Lianlai is in Liu Wan's arms, and she is reluctant to leave.

Liu Wan didn't mind, while hugging Wang Lian, the family drank tea and talked, and they were happy.

Wu Hui was a little strange, she didn't know where her mother-in-law's tea came from, and she didn't know if it was expensive, so she asked:

"Mother, such a delicious tea, I'm afraid it will cost 5 yuan for one or two, right?"

She asked tentatively.

She felt that this thing was just drinking to quench her thirst, and it wasn't worth much, for fear that Liu Wan would be deceived by others and buy it expensive.

The coarse tea at home is picked in the mountains, and it doesn't cost money, even if this kind of tea tastes a little better, but if you want money, it's better to drink coarse tea.

"I didn't buy it." Liu Wan said, "It was Wangjianglou in order to thank us, there happened to be a new tea arrived, and the shopkeeper Guan gave me a few taels, it is said that such tea, one or two teas also cost more than a dozen taels of silver!" ”

"What?" Wu Hui's jaw dropped when she heard it, "Is this being falsely accused, a tael of tea and a dozen taels of silver?" How can it be? ”

Liu Wan knew that her daughter-in-law valued money, so she first said that tea doesn't cost money, and gave her a reassuring pill, otherwise she might be gasping for breath now.

"The business of Wangjianglou is very good, a table of flowing water seats for 8 people, at least three or five taels of silver, I don't know how many seats can be opened a day, so buying this kind of tea is also a trivial matter for them."

Wang Xiao saw that his wife was shocked, so he explained.

He also saw that Xiaohui was afraid that the tea was bought by his mother.

"Yo, scary, such an expensive tea, then I can take a few more sips." Wu Hui hurriedly said.

As soon as she heard that Liu Wan didn't spend money to buy it, Wu Hui was relieved.

The spring rain was dripping, and the sound of the family talking was also chattering.

Liu Wan felt that this situation was still very beautiful, surrounded by a group of filial children, it was not a pleasure in addition to material wealth.

The next day, after the rain had passed, Liu Wan loaded a basket of charcoal, a basket of pebbles, and pickled barbecued meat onto an ox cart, and drove the ox cart with Wang Xiao to Gukou Town.

The two of them first handed over the braised chicken feet to Wangjiang Tower.

The shopkeeper is still not here, and he hasn't come back yet.

Coming out of Wangjiang Tower, Wang Xiao asked:

"Mother, where do you say the barbecue should be placed? Why do I think we shouldn't set a price too expensive, otherwise how can ordinary people afford it? ”

Wang Xiao is well aware of the consumption level here, and when it comes to this business, he is quite unconfident.

Liu Wan blinked her eyes and said, "Let's go and set up a stall opposite the Xiuxian Academy." ”

"Xiuxian Academy, isn't that the place where Yi An studied? There are all crepe students, let's go to a stall to sell barbecue, okay? ”

Wang Xiao felt that the barbecue stall and the "Qinggao" school did not seem to be very compatible.

"Do you think it's insulting? Ha, let's not put it directly at the door, let's find a suitable place to set up a stall opposite it. ”

Seeing that her mother had an idea, Wang Xiao was also used to listening to her, and did not refute it.

The two of them found a relatively empty field opposite the Xiuxian Academy, and Liu Wan and Wang Xiao tied the ox cart under a nearby tree.

Then the two of them piled a barbecue grill with stones on the ground, the soil on the ground was still a little wet, and Liu Wan carefully laid a layer of pebbles on the ground, and then lit a charcoal fire on it.

The meat skewers have been marinated, and now they can be grilled on the rack as long as the charcoal fire is lit.

Liu Wan took a pu fan and fanned the charcoal, and the little red light began to devour the dark charcoal, Liu Wan saw that the charcoal fire was no problem, so she took out the meat skewers and placed them on the charcoal fire.

At first, no one noticed that there was a barbecue stall here, and no one stopped in a hurry.

Wang Xiao said with some anxiety: "Mother, you see that the people here are different from those in the market, everyone is passing by, and I am afraid that they will not stop to buy things." ”

Liu Wan smiled and said, "Xiao'er, your observation is still quite strong, but it's okay, the object we are selling is the students of the Xiuxian Academy." ”

"Huh? Will they buy it? ”

Wang Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this.

In his impression, the students of the Xiuxian Academy were all dressed in long robes, polite, gentle as jade, and gentle and elegant people, how could they eat barbecue?

Liu Wan smiled faintly and said, "You wait and see!" ”

For Wang Xiao, the students of the Xiuxian Academy are high and cannot be desecrated like immortals.

But Liu Wan grew up in a modern society where the whole people have universal nine-year compulsory education, and a student of this age is just an ordinary primary and secondary school student, which cannot make her feel admired.

In Liu Wan's view, the students are all growing and developing, who can resist the temptation of barbecue?

And those who can come to school, the family is a little bit of a family, and eating skewers and barbecue is not a problem for them.

According to Liu Wan's understanding, there are more than 300 students in this Xiuxian school, and the school not only accepts students from its own town, but also accepts students from five or six nearby towns and villages.

The main reason is that this school has been established for a hundred years and is very senior, and has cultivated two champions, and there are countless talents and talents cultivated.

Therefore, in ten miles and eight townships, Xiuxian schools have a good reputation and are very good, and the bundles they collect are five taels more than ordinary schools a year, but students who want to come to school are still eager to go to school.

As the charcoal fire heats up, Liu Wan began to turn over the meat skewers, as the temperature of the charcoal fire gets higher, some meat slices have made a "squeak" sound, the meat oil is grilled out, dripping on the carbon, the stronger the fragrance, even Wang Xiao's stomach is making a "cooing" sound.

"Yo, what kind of scent is this? It seems to be the taste of meat? ”

When class was about to end, Wang Yi'an was pulled by Tian Zhifu at the same table and said softly in his ear.

The master didn't come to this class, they were in a self-study class, but in order not to affect others, Tian Zhifu still lowered his voice.

As soon as Wang Yi'an heard what his fellow table said, he sniffed hard, and sure enough, there was a fragrant smell of meat in the air.

"Hey, I've never smelled this meat smell before, it's amazing, what kind of fragrance is this? It made my stomach hungry.

Could it be that the chef of the canteen was kind enough to stir-fry the meat for us today? ”

At this time, the other students who smelled the fragrance also whispered, and the originally quiet school was in a commotion because of this fragrance.

School is about to end, lunch is almost at this o'clock, everyone is hungry, smelling this meat, everyone can't sit still.

The Xiuxian School requires full care, and the students must live in the school, and they can only go home during the holidays, and they must eat and live in the canteen.

The canteen of the large collective, it is conceivable that the level of cooking is like that, you may feel good at the beginning, but you will get tired of eating it for a long time.

At this time, they suddenly smelled this abnormal smell of meat, and everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and they couldn't wait to get out of school quickly.
