Chapter 27: Out of the stall
As the New Year approaches, there are more people on the streets, especially the red items are eye-catching.
There were many scholars who had a table with red couplets on it, and it only took a few pennies to get a beautiful couplet.
"This big brother, it turns out that your family still has this business."
Wang Yongan looked familiar to the person in front of him, this was not the young man who bought bait that day.
"This son, if you want to eat a bowl of noodles, our noodles taste good, sit down, don't be polite."
Wang Yongye was very enthusiastic and wiped the tables and chairs with a clean rag, even though the tables and chairs were cleaned yesterday.
Lu Shangqin waved his robe, holding a hand stove in his hand, the octagonal shape was small and exquisite, the whole body was royal blue, and there were several cranes in the lake on it, and the whole looked like a chess player.
After a few gurgles, a bowl of somen noodles is ready, with a few oil flowers floating on top and refreshing baby cabbage leaves.
"You don't have to worry about me, you're busy."
Lu Shangqin took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick basket and found that the top was clean and clean, and there was nothing unclean before he picked up the noodles.
In fact, his nurse brought him breakfast this morning, and now she tastes it fresh.
I have to say that this noodle is very delicious, looking at the clear soup with little water, but it is delicious and chewy, as if there is a vitality in this bowl of noodles.
Several women glanced at each other, and this young man looked like a rich and noble family, and he should be picky when eating, thinking that he couldn't look down on their family's food.
"Dad, I'm not busy yet, I'll take the kids to buy New Year's goods."
A few older boys were so excited that they had long wanted to run out.
They just saw that there were candy men, and peanut balls were being sold, and there were delicious and fun things everywhere.
Liu Chunlan saw a bunch of people around, it was a scholar who wrote couplets, she looked happy, and she also wanted to buy a pair.
The couplets given by the scholar to each family are different, and the red-background couplets are flattened with a ruler, and the soft nib is dipped in black ink, and the pen walks without the slightest pause.
The meaning of the couplets is also easy for ordinary people to understand and have a beautiful meaning.
When the ink on the couplet dried, Liu Chunlan picked it up and looked at it carefully, very satisfied.
She just listened to what this scholar said, the upper link is: Heshun Gate first increase Baifu, the lower link: family happiness Nabaixiang, horizontal criticism: Fuxi Yingmen
Listen to it auspicious and happy, put the couplet in the back basket, and stick it on your door in two days.
"Mother, there are candy balls sold there."
The boys were thinking about the candy balls with sweet mouths, and they were looking for where to sell them.
"Twist the sugar, twist the candy! This lady, do you want to buy twisted candy for your child, it is very sweet, and it is a penny. ”
Liu Chunlan looked at the children with a blank eye, especially the old woman who sold twisted candy and prying it from the basin with two small wooden sticks.
The big and small saliva flowed into a river, and they swallowed saliva unconsciously.
"This aunt, we have a lot of children, you fill me in this bowl and give me some small sticks."
"Okay, get you a bowl."
The old woman skillfully put the twisted candy into the bowl, using a small dipping sauce bowl, with one upside down on top, and tightly wound it with a thin string.
Wen Yuan took the initiative to take the twisted candy, took the small bowl and smelled it, it was sweet and sweet.
"Brother, I smell it."
Wen Hua tiptoed to hold the small bowl, and he also wanted to smell it.
"You wipe your snot first, and then we will have to paste it on the bowl, we can't eat it yet, we don't want to eat your snot."
"I wiped it, look!"
"Huh~"
A few boys looked at Wen Hua, he wiped it with his hand, Wen Yuan ran fast, and said as he ran if he could touch him with his hand.
Liu Chunlan beckoned a group of radish heads and led them to the pork shop.
There were several large pieces of pork hanging from the hook, and after looking through them with my hands, I found that they were all thin, and only a few pieces were a little fat.
Liu Chunlan bought several pieces of fat and thin meat strips and prepared to make fragrant bowls.
"I'll carry it! I'll carry it! ”
The boys all volunteered to do their best, and ran ahead with joy.
Liu Chunlan found a picker selling head flowers, which was full of all kinds of good-looking head flowers.
touched her clean and simple hair, she hadn't worn a hair flower for many years, she had worn it when she was a young girl, and the best thing was when she married Yong'an.
"This young lady, buy a flower, you look so pretty, it is perfect for a beauty like you, look at it, how handsome."
Women can't listen to other people's praise, and their hearts are sweet, it turns out that they are still good-looking.
As the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, although Liu Chunlan likes it, she also has her own measure.
She carefully picked a beautiful red rope with a bead engraved with the word Fu on it, which looked very good.
She plans to give Fu Bao as a New Year's gift, and their family has the blessing of Fu Bao to cover their Wang family today.
This purchase can be described as a big purchase, all kinds of good things, especially a few good fabrics.
By the time Liu Chunlan returned to the stall, it was almost noon, and the men on the dock had also gone to work to prepare for dinner.
Lu Fengping knew many friends and brought people to the booth to cheer, which was lively and lively.
"Sister-in-law, buy so many New Year's goods."
Lu Fengping saw a basket full of good things with sharp eyes, but he didn't expect that the brothers of the Wang family were so capable.
"Toyohei, your face."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Lu Fengping could see that the amount in the bowl was more, and several men were gulping with chopsticks.
"What's going on? It's delicious! My sisters-in-law's craftsmanship is very good. ”
A few workers didn't have time to reply, and the hot noodles were really delicious.
Although the first day of opening was mediocre, the good news was rave reviews, and everyone who ate their noodles would praise it.
Moreover, the Wang family's noodles are large and cheap, and Wang Yongye also saw through several opponents during this period.
After eating their noodles, they all looked embarrassed, not because they were not delicious, but because they were so delicious that they affected their business.
Although the Wang family set up a stall on the first day, they have been accumulating old customers for several years, and the taste of several families is very similar.
But the Wang family, who suddenly came out, will be a fierce rival in the future.
Daddy Wang was asked out by several shopkeepers to negotiate, and their Wang's pricing was too low, which was vicious competition.
"Brother Ye, you said that we only came out on the first day, and the people over there can't wait, our noodles are much better than theirs."
"Fourth brother, you go and watch, if they do something to our father, there will be more of us."
Now the stalls are still too busy, and people are coming to the stalls to eat noodles one after another.
Zhang Guihua is in charge of the following, Liu Chunlan puts condiments, a spoonful of lard and a few green onions, the men serve noodles, and Fang Cuiying is responsible for collecting money, for fear that someone will eat the overlord meal.
The boys were also happy to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and washed the dishes with water from the river.
It's really a small stall, and the family is busy.
"The noodles are gone, let's close the stall."
They only prepared a pot of noodles to test the water today, but they didn't expect the response to be good.
"Dad, what did they say?"
Daddy Wang returned with his hands in his hands and bought a few packets of sesame candy and halva.
"It's nothing, it's just that we're red-eyed, inquire about the origin of our flour, and want to know the purchase channel, I'll sell it to them, and no one in our family is allowed to say, followed by their requirement that the price must be unified, we sell Wuwen too cheaply, and the price of grain has risen so much, and we will also sell Qiwen tomorrow, and the amount is more."
On the first day, they were a thorn in the side of others, if it weren't for their family of more than a dozen people, they might have been squeezed today.
"Be more careful in the future, so as to prevent villains from messing with our family."
Wang's father's sons said that if anyone dared to get them, they would let him know the temperature of the Changshui River in winter.
