Xiao Qing sat on the donkey cart and looked back at the two thatched huts at home, she wanted to build a house as soon as possible and dig a basement to store food and eat, so as to withstand the famine in the coming year.

After the mother left, the family still worked as usual, Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng went to the mountain to pick dogwood fruits, Qiao Yang and Yuanyuan went to collect firewood, Zhou made clothes, Qin's returned chicken feathers, and laundry took care of Qiao Erjing, everything was in order.

At about the end of the hour, Xiao Qing came to the door of the guest restaurant with a large bamboo basket of mushrooms on his back.

As soon as she walked to the door, she thought that she had gone to the wrong door, she walked back and forth a few times outside the team, only to see clearly that she did not go to the wrong door, the long queue at the door was the door of the guest restaurant.

Before noon, there was a long queue at the guest restaurant?

It's just an hour!

She walked to the door, and was about to walk in, when a man in a brocade coat and hat stopped her directly.

"Ahh What for? Why did you just go in? Didn't see such a long line? Don't want to cut the line, go to the back to queue, but we came to the door before dawn to wait in line, no one wants to cut the line! The nobleman in brocade said hurriedly.

Xiao Qing was pushed to the door by several people, and when she turned around, she saw that the long line was gone, if she lined up according to the line, I am afraid that she would not be able to send chili powder noodles in the afternoon, the fresh mushrooms would not taste good, and the peppers in the store would not be enough.

"I'm not here to eat, I'm here to deliver food to the shopkeeper!"

The nobleman in brocade sneered: "Don't use these excuses to bluff people, you are not the only one who wants to cut the queue with all kinds of excuses these days, you are still dressed like this when you eat so fat, even if you pretend to be a beggar and want to get in and ask for food, you have to line up and go to the back!" ”

Xiao Qing: "......"

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Ji in the store heard a commotion at the door, and came out to take a look, which quickly kept Xiao Qing.

"Qi Guanren, Qi Guanren, this little sister-in-law is here to deliver food, she can't go! I'll take her to the back kitchen, and you can wait with peace of mind, and when the space is vacated, I'll arrange for you! Zhou Ji blocked Xiao Qing's way and turned back to play a round with Qi officials.

Xiao Qing saw that there were already people eating in the store, who would come to the restaurant to eat so early in the morning?

She glanced at the diners in the lobby and saw that there were no dishes in front of their tables, and there was only one bowl in front of each person. She was curious.

Qi officials saw Zhou Ji's politeness, and the shopkeeper of the guest restaurant had served quite thoughtfully in the past few days, and heard that the woman in front of him was really here to deliver food: "Alas! I said Zhou Ji, and your shopkeeper said, quickly put down the shop next to it, such a small store can't sit down! Look at how many people are behind this! ”

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper is talking, and we have already talked about it again." Zhou Ji bowed his waist and responded with a smile: "Qi Guanren, you wait a while, I will send my sister-in-law to the back kitchen first, and I will come back later, ah." ”

Qi Guanren beckoned him to go.

Zhou Ji took Xiao Qing to the alley next to the guest restaurant, and on the way he smiled and said to Xiao Qing: "The shopkeeper only decided to sell some noodles this morning, which is the dogwood red oil noodles that my sister-in-law made for us last time, I didn't expect so many people early in the morning, and when my sister-in-law comes, you can come directly from here." ”

Xiao Qing was surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhou was very profitable, he sold pasta for breakfast, and sold vegetables at noon and evening, and he made a lot of money that day.

"The shopkeeper went to the village two days ago and said that your business is good, but I didn't expect the business to be so good!"

Zhou Ji invited her to the corner: "This, thanks to your sister-in-law's dogwood noodles, if you hadn't sent this flavor when this store was facing closure, it would have been impossible for the business of this guest restaurant to be so hot!" The shopkeeper and I are so grateful to you for still having left! ”

Xiao Qing smiled and said nothing, she still remembered that when a certain Lao first opened, the people at the door were also like this, there was a long queue, and they couldn't book a place, not to mention that this spicy taste was a spicy taste that had never been enjoyed by the ancients.

When she accumulates enough steps, she will also expand the popularity of chili peppers.

"Alas, Shopkeeper Zhou is too polite to you, you lack taste, my family lacks money, isn't this just a sentence, killing two birds with one stone?"

Zhou Ji said with a smile: "What my sister-in-law said is that we will have more interactions in the future, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

As they spoke, the two came to the back kitchen.

Zhou Ji stood at the door and called Yu Liu, and when Yu Liu heard that it was sister-in-law Xiao who came, he immediately put down the work in his hand and ran over in person and continued: "Sister-in-law is here, great, great, the dogwood noodles will run out in a while, and if you don't send it, it will be gone!" Sister-in-law, you came in time! ”

Xiao Qing listened to Yu Liu's sister-in-law, she was only eighteen years old on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and she was not yet eighteen years old, Yu Liu, who was one round older than her, also called her sister-in-law, she ...... Alas, sister-in-law is sister-in-law!

She heard the sound of fried things inside, smelled the choking smell in the back kitchen, she knew what Yu was doing, he was frying chili oil, no wonder there were so many people in the lobby, it turned out to be eating hot sauce noodles and small buns in the morning to dip in spicy food.

However, the small buns and noodles are indeed delicious to eat with chili peppers, not to mention particularly delicious, but they will definitely awaken the expectations of the day.

"Then you weigh it, here is dogwood noodles, more than ten catties!" Xiao Qing handed a sack of dogwood noodles to Yu Liu, and then pointed to the mushrooms they had stacked at home: "This is a mushroom, you can find someone to weigh it too?" ”

Yu Liu saw so many fresh mushrooms, large and small, cleaned up very cleanly, lying in the bamboo basket, looking very gratifying: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll let people weigh it, today I can make fresh mushroom dishes again!" ”

Let a reliable person weigh the mushrooms, and the result is five catties of small yellow mushrooms, seven catties of bigfoot mushrooms, five catties of brush mushrooms, and not many hazelnut mushrooms, only three catties and four taels.

This person did not count less, but counted more of each type of mushroom, for example, the small yellow mushroom is only four catties and eight taels, he directly counted it as five catties, the brush mushroom is only four catties and nine taels, he also counted five catties, and the bigfoot mushroom is only six catties and seven taels He counted it as seven catties, thinking that it was instructed by the shopkeeper Zhou.

After calculating for a while, Xiao Qing had a number in his heart, almost 1,588 yuan.

In the end, Zhou Ji came out and took one or two or six coins of silver, as well as several large wrapped oil paper packets and handed them to Xiao Qing.

"Sister-in-law, Shopkeeper Zhou is greeting important guests in front, there is no way to withdraw to give you the money in person, this is the one or six coins of silver that Shopkeeper Zhou told me to give you, and here is half a piece of cooked mutton legs, a roasted chicken, and a few pieces of freshly steamed Dongpo meat, these are all freshly marinated, I originally wanted to invite my sister-in-law into the store to taste slowly, but the table in the store during the day and night is really unable to sit, there is a separate room for my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law has no time to stay, so I can only give these things to my sister-in-law, I hope my sister-in-law can accept them!"
