Early the next morning, Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An arrived at the east end of the village, preparing to take Uncle Shuigen's ox cart to the town's market.

Originally, Lin Yunxuan's legs were not good yet, He Cuifang meant to let Zhao Dalin go to the town to sell fish balls. After all, Gangtou Village is more than ten miles away from Shimen Town, and it usually takes almost an hour for people in the village to walk. Lin Yunxuan looks relatively delicate, and her legs are not all right, if she walks, it is estimated that when she goes to the town, the market has already dispersed.

But Zhao Dalin is more honest and wooden, and he usually doesn't talk much, Lin Yunxuan is not at ease, and still feels that it is better for him to go. Moreover, she also wants to visit the town to learn about the market and see what else she can do to make a living.

So she grinded with He Cuifang, and after grinding for a long time, she was allowed to take Zhao An out to sell fish balls, but she had to take Uncle Shuigen's ox cart to go.

He Cuifang now regards Lin Yunxuan as her own daughter, and usually cares for Lin Yunxuan, especially paying attention to protecting her feet, for fear of falling into the root of the disease. Lin Yunxuan insisted on going to the town to sell fish balls, and even if her family was not well-off, she was willing to pay for her to ride an ox cart.

For the tolerance and care given by He Cuifang and her family, Lin Yunxuan saw it in her eyes, warmed her heart, and had already made up her mind that she must repay them well in this life, and the best way at present is to lead this family on the road to prosperity.

Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An came relatively early, and only Uncle Shuigen was alone. The two politely greeted Uncle Mizune, then got into the ox cart and waited.

The ox cart can seat eight people, and it usually sets off when it is full, and if the ox cart is not full by the time it arrives, Uncle Mizune also sets off.

After waiting for a while, a few people in ox carts came one after another, all of whom went to the town to catch the market. Uncle Shuigen saw that the seat was full, and he set off with a shout.

Uncle Shuigen is the only one in the village who has an ox cart, and usually the people in the village go back and forth between Gangtou Village and Shimen Town, and if they don't want to walk, they will take his ox cart for two yuan. Uncle Mizugen has a son, who died in an accident a few years ago, leaving only Uncle Mizugen and his wife to rely on each other, the two of them are too old to do much work in the fields, so they simply sold their family's fields and bought ox carts back, and usually rely on ox carts to carry villagers back and forth between Gangtou Village and Shimen Town to earn some living expenses.

The board of the ox cart is relatively hard, as long as there are a little potholes on the road, the ox cart walks by, and people will be upside down, but before half of the road, Lin Yunxuan, who took the ox cart for the first time, got motion sickness.

Zhao An was also riding an ox cart for the first time, he was very novel, he kept looking around in the car, and he talked more than usual. Lin Yunxuan, who was dizzy and swollen by the ox cart, was tired of dealing with Zhao An, and after Zhao An noticed it, he didn't talk to her anymore, and concentrated on looking at the scenery on the side of the road. Seeing Zhao An like this, Lin Yunxuan felt funny and a little sad.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, Zhao An's age, in his previous life, was only a second-grade elementary school student, at this age should have been coquettish in the arms of his parents, carefree play, but he has already helped the family work like a little adult, a little less naïve, a little more sensible.

About half an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the gate of Shimen Town, and the two thanked Uncle Shuigen and walked in the direction of the market.

I asked a few people along the way, and finally walked to the place where the market was located in the middle of the hour. I saw that the market was crowded with people, the shouts of selling things, and the sound of bargains for buying things came and went, so it was not lively.

Lin Yunxuan and the others came relatively late, and the stalls were basically occupied. The two searched for a long time, and finally found a place in the corner, and as soon as they took out the things and placed them, someone came to collect the money.

Originally, if you set up a stall in the bazaar, you still have to pay a booth fee, and the booth fee is different according to the location of the stall, and you have to pay five cents for placing it in the most lively place, and you have to pay one penny for placing it in a more remote place. Lin Yunxuan: The place they chose is relatively remote, and they have to pay a penny booth fee. The two couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they didn't know that they had to pay the stall fee to set up the stall, and they didn't have any extra money on them, if they paid the booth fee, the two of them would not have enough money to take the ox cart back.

"Sister, why don't I wait and walk back, and pay the money to set up a stall first." Zhao An said sensibly.

Lin Yunxuan was not worried that Zhao An would walk back alone, and the idea of coming to the market to set up a stall was her, how could she be embarrassed to let her younger brother suffer.

She looked around with her eyes up, and had an idea.

"We're not setting up a stall here today." Lin Yunxuan packed up her things and pulled Zhao An in the direction of the main street.

"Sister, aren't we going to sell fish balls? How can you sell without a stall? Zhao An grabbed the basket and followed behind Lin Yunxuan, his face full of doubts.

"Let's go there and sell it." Lin Yunxuan snorted her mouth forward.

Zhao An looked ahead, originally the place they chose before was already close to the edge of the market, and now they are out of the scope of the market, there is a street in front, there are few people walking on the empty street, there are many shops on both sides of the road, but they have not opened yet.

Zhao An still didn't understand where to sell fish balls.

After walking for a while, Lin Yunxuan stopped.

"This is it." Lin Yunxuan pointed to a restaurant on the side of the road, which was the largest restaurant in the town, Zuixian Building.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in front of the main entrance of the restaurant, which had not yet opened.

It turned out that Lin Yunxuan had just seen the signboard banner of Zuixianlou from a distance in the market, since he couldn't set up a stall to sell fish balls in the market, it was better to go to the restaurant to sell them. She didn't believe that such a novel food would not be sold.

"What is this place? Restaurant? Zhao An looked around, a little uncertain.

"Yes, it's a restaurant. We're going to do business with them today. Lin Yunxuan looked at the plaque of the restaurant and replied calmly.

"However, this is a big restaurant, how can it do business with us. And they haven't opened the door yet, what's the matter..."Before Zhao An's words fell, the door of the restaurant creaked open. Out of it came a little guy.

"Hey, Brother Big Pillar? Big Pillar Brother! Zhao An looked at the young man who had just come out of the restaurant, his eyes lit up, and he called out happily.

The young man had a rag in his hand and was about to start wiping the dust off the door, when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him and turned to look.

"Xiao An? Why are you here? ”

It turned out that the little guy was the eldest son of Aunt Zhang's family, Da Zhu, Lin Yunxuan heard that he was a buddy in the restaurant in the town before, but he didn't expect it to be in this restaurant, which was really a coincidence.

"My sister and I came to sell fish balls." Zhao An happily ran to the big pillar, pointed at Lin Yunxuan and said.

"Brother Big Pillar, good morning!" Lin Yunxuan said hello politely.

"Sister Xuan, good morning." Da Zhuzi saw Lin Yunxuan at Zhao Dalin's house, and since he knew that Yingzi was rescued by Lin Yunxuan when he fell into the water, he also treated her like a sister.

Da Zhuzi nodded, and responded to Lin Yunxuan with a smile, his eyes looking back and forth between the two of them, a little puzzled. "Didn't you sell things in the bazaar? How did you get here? ”

"Brother Dazhu, I want to see your shopkeeper. Can you introduce me to that? Lin Yunxuan looked at the big pillar and said with a smile.

I really fell asleep and met the one who delivered the pillow. As soon as she was worried about how she could meet the shopkeeper, she ran into an acquaintance.

"Our shopkeeper hasn't been here yet..."

"Who are you, you can see our shopkeeper when you see it, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have, our shopkeeper is what you can make an appointment with casually? Big pillar, don't just lead people to the front of the shopkeeper, and turn around to blame the shopkeeper, don't say I don't remind you. ”

Before Da Zhu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice behind him. I saw a young man dressed as a guy come out of the restaurant, looked at Lin Yunxuan's clothes, and couldn't help but say with some disdain.

"Sister Xuan, Xiao An..." Da Zhuzi's face turned red, and he rubbed his hands a little embarrassed.

"We are from the same village as Brother Dazhuzi. Who are you? Zhao An saw that this person's attitude was bad, and his tone became bad.

"A bunch of mud-legged people also want to see our shopkeeper, cut." The young man rolled his eyes with a look of disgust.

Lin Yunxuan raised her eyes and glanced at the young man, grabbed Zhao An, who was about to speak, and shook her head gently at him. Although it's really annoying for this person to look down on people, but now he still wants to do business with this restaurant, and it's not good to offend people. I could only pretend not to care, and said sweetly: "This little brother, we are here to sell ingredients, and we want to talk to your shopkeeper." ”

The young man heard Lin Yunxuan's tone very sweet and polite, although he still looked impatient, but his attitude was better than just now.

"Sell ingredients and go to the back door, what is the pestle doing here, blocking us from opening the door to do business. Get out of the way! Get out of the way! As he spoke, he picked up the broom next to him and swept it vigorously towards Zhao An's feet.

"Hey, why are you like this?" Zhao An was swept away and couldn't help but be angry.

"How's I, what's wrong?" The young man yelled with his neck stiffened, and just as he was about to speak, he heard an unhappy voice beside him: "Liu Gui, early in the morning, what are you yelling about?" ”

Lin Yunxuan and the others looked to the side, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, not tall, slightly chubby, but looking very shrewd, frowning at the moment and looking at a few of them.

Seeing this, the young man and the big pillar hurriedly shouted respectfully: "The shopkeeper..."

When Lin Yunxuan heard this, the person in front of him should be the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward, nodded respectfully and said, "I'm sorry, the shopkeeper, it was just a small misunderstanding." We brought some novel ingredients and wanted to sell them to your restaurant, because we were afraid that other people would not be able to be the master, so we rashly wanted to see you. ”

"Oh, what kind of novelty ingredient?" The shopkeeper was attracted by the words of novel ingredients, and suddenly became interested.

It seems that whether it is a restaurant in the past or the current era, they all hope to have a loud signature dish and can continue to innovate. If there are novel ingredients, you will definitely be able to make dishes that others can't make, so that you can be unique and attract more customers.

"These are the pearl balls." Lin Yunxuan lifted the corner of the back basket that Zhao An was carrying, pointed to the fish balls and said.

The shopkeeper took one look at it and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

After speaking, he stood aside and gestured to invite Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An in.

Lin Yunxuan took a look at it and felt that although this shopkeeper was the owner of such a big restaurant, he did not rely on the old to sell the old, nor did he bully others, and he respected him very much. But he was not in a hurry to go in, but leaned away, made a gesture of please, and said, "Shopkeeper, please first!" ”

Seeing that Lin Yunxuan knew etiquette so well at a young age, the shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, and no longer spoke politely to Lin Yunxuan, and walked in with his feet raised.

Lin Yunxuan walked in with Zhao An after him, through the lobby on the first floor, and into a room in the courtyard at the back.
