Chapter 36: Talking
"Mother, this is Chunfeng Building, the largest restaurant in our Anzhen! However, it was still early in the hour, and it was estimated that they would not open the door until the hour came. ”
Ning Laosan sent Ning Pengpeng to the front of Chunfeng Building and put her down.
After all, this Chunfeng Building and Nanshi, one south and one north, he had to go to Nanshi as soon as possible to occupy a place.
These days, there are more and more people selling sugarcane water, and it's too late, and the good places are all occupied!
"Okay, I see. You go first, and I'll go to Nanshi to find you later. ”
Ning Pengpeng, who got out of the ox cart, looked up at the magnificent restaurant in front of him, and then said to Ning Laosan.
Ning Laosan drove the ox cart away, Ning Peng glanced at the door of the restaurant that was still closed, and when he turned his head to the ox cart just now, he saw the wonton stall on the side of the north street.
"Uncle, let's have a bowl of wontons."
Because it was still dark, there were still two big red lanterns hanging on the oilcloth shed supported by the wonton stall owner.
At first glance, it is very conspicuous.
"Haole, a bowl of ravioli."
The uncle was originally sitting making wontons, but when he heard Ning Pengpeng coming over and sitting on the bench and saying, he immediately stood up with a smile and went to cook wontons.
Ning Pengpeng looked around, although the old man's wonton stall was not big, but in addition to her, there were still people eating wontons on the other two tables, and she was not the only one.
It's just that people should be in a hurry or get up early to run errands, and after eating in a hurry, they put down the five cents and left!
"Guest, your ravioli."
This wonton is in the pot and will be ready soon.
was brought over by the old man, and I saw a large bowl, ten chubby wontons dotted with a little green onions, and the melted lard, floating on the soup, very tempting.
"Thank you."
After Ning Pengpeng thanked him, he picked up a spoon and scooped a wonton, blew it, and put it in his mouth.
I have to say that the meat filling in this wonton is fat and thin, and the taste is very delicious.
When he came out this morning, although he boiled six eggs, one person divided two.
After Ning Pengpeng finished eating the wonton in a big gulp, he took out the two eggs he had received before from the basket, knocked them, peeled them off, and ate them together with the wonton soup in the big bowl, and immediately burped.
Regarding Ning Pengpeng's operation, the old man had no objections, and still sat in his original position with a smile and continued to make wontons.
"Uncle, how long have you been setting up a stall here? The taste of this wonton is really good. I see that your stall is not far from the Chunfeng Building, when they open the door, do you have no problem with you setting up a stall here? ”
Reaching into his arms, he took out his money bag, counted five copper plates, put them in front of the old man, and then talked curiously.
"It's only been a few decades, and I used to make a living when I was young, although I didn't make a lot of money, but now it's a habit! As for the ingredients added to this wonton, it is our family's ancestral secret recipe, and it tastes very fresh.
As for the Chunfeng Building, Shopkeeper Su is very easy-going, and he has always taken care of the neighborhood, so how can he do something to drive an elderly person like me away. ”
The old man glanced at Ning Pengpeng, but he didn't know everything.
"Is Shopkeeper Su so approachable? There doesn't seem to be a big family surnamed Su in Ke'an Town! ”
Ning Pengpeng carefully recalled the memory of the original body, maybe she was lonely and unheard, and she had never heard of a big family surnamed Su in Anzhen, but she knew that there were two rich families surnamed Li and Liu, and it was said that there were countless fields in the family, and there were several Zhuangzi!
"Shopkeeper Su is just the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building here, not the owner. The surname of the proprietor of Chunfeng Lou is Pei, and it is said that some of Pei's clan members are officials in Kyoto. Therefore, even if Shopkeeper Su is not from this Anzhen, no one in Anzhen dares to disrespect him. ”
The old man is idle anyway, he keeps working in his hands, and he doesn't gossip.
"In the early years, Na Liu Dahu thought that the shopkeeper Su had just arrived and was easy to bully. Unexpectedly, I almost tossed myself into the county government boss!
If he hadn't had the protection of the clansmen in the state capital, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
Since that time, Liu Dahu has been a man with his tail between his legs. ”
Asked what he wanted to inquire, Ning Pengpeng was not idle, and helped to clean up the dishes and chopsticks left over by the guests on the old man's table after eating, and put them in the dishes that needed to be washed.
"Oh, guest officer, this can't be done, you put it down, I'll do it myself."
Seeing that Ning Pengpeng actually helped, the old man hurriedly stood up and wanted to stop him, but heard Ning Pengpeng say to him with a smile.
"Uncle, you have done me a great favor, and I still have to sit on your side for a while, just clean up such a small thing as dishes and chopsticks, don't be polite to me!"
The old man saw that Ning Pengpeng looked sincere, and there were only a few chopsticks on the table, all of which had been cleaned up by Ning Pengpeng's hands and feet, and he sat down again after thanking him again and again.
Time passed, and the sky changed from pitch black to crab blue.
The wontons that the old man wrapped before are almost sold.
"Guest officer, are you waiting for the shopkeeper of Nasu?"
The old man glanced at Ning Pengpeng, who was looking at Chunfeng Lou intently, and then said with certainty.
"Yes, uncle, your eyes are really sharp."
Ning Pengpeng gave a thumbs up to the old man and boasted.
"The old man has lived for such a long time, seeing that you asked about Chunfeng Building before, you must have wanted to find the shopkeeper of Na Su for something. It just so happened that Shopkeeper Su would come to my stall every day before the door opened in Chunfeng Building and eat such a bowl of wontons.
Unexpectedly, today's little old man's wontons have been sold so early!
Why don't you help send this bowl of wontons to the back door of the Chunfeng Building to the shopkeeper of Na Su, what do you think? ”
Hearing the old man's words, Ning Pengpeng blinked, and suddenly nodded with glowing eyes.
"Thank you for your help!"
"Hehe, where is it, it's the little old man who wants to go home early, so let you help deliver this wonton, if you want to say thank you, it's time for me to thank you."
The old man stood up, put the last bowl of wontons in the pot, and replied to Ning Pengpeng with a smile.
Holding the bowl of wontons, Ning Pengpeng turned to the back door of Chunfeng Building and knocked on the door panel hard.
"Who?"
Someone yawned and asked as he came over and removed the deadbolt to open the door.
I saw a young man wearing a little second costume, wiping the corners of his eyes and looking at Ning Pengpeng, who was holding a bowl outside the door.
"Auntie, who are you looking for?"
The young man looked Ning Peng up and down a few times, and then asked with a puzzled face.
Hearing the title of the eldest lady, the corners of Ning Pengpeng's mouth twitched.
Then he raised the wonton in his hand and said to the young man: "The uncle of the wonton stall has a good business today, and he has sold out early." It's just that he said that Shopkeeper Su would go to his side every morning to eat a bowl of wontons, and specially left the last bowl to cook and asked me to help deliver it. ”
