Chapter 155: Wonton Stand
The wontons are spread on the street corner, and the surrounding area is full of hurried workers.
Even the two people who had just eaten the wontons got up and left after eating.
Therefore, at this time, only Wen Xian and Xia Zhi were sitting opposite each other, waiting for the wontons to be served.
The wontons cooked quickly, and after a while, the proprietress brought two bowls of wontons with eggs.
Not only that, but the proprietress also recognized Wen Xian's appearance.
"Ouch, but the boy who killed fish at the Sun Pavilion yesterday?" The proprietress said with a light in her eyes, "What kind of salmon can really be eaten raw?" How does it taste, is it delicious, and will it hurt your stomach? ”
She went to see the excitement yesterday, but unfortunately the fish was too expensive. Half a tael of silver was only five pieces, and she went crazy to buy it.
However, she is still a little greedy for the expensive things that rich people eat.
This series of questions was a little speechless for Wen Xian.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you think I'm sitting here now?" The fish is definitely edible and delicious. Otherwise, how can they all be sold out? ”
The proprietress was just curious to ask, and she didn't mind answering her questions.
I thought that after listening to the answer, the proprietress would go about her own business.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xian ate a few wontons and looked up, only to find that the proprietress did not leave, but looked at her eagerly.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said faintly: "Boss, your wontons taste good." ”
The proprietress raised her chin and said proudly: "Of course, I've been making this wonton for most of my life, can it be delicious?" ”
She lowered her voice and continued: "Little boy tell me what that salmon tastes like, let me listen to it and satisfy my cravings." ”
Wen Xian was silent and said, "You have to taste it yourself to know." So, the next time you have salmon, you go early, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to leave you a place to try it? ”
In the future, it is not impossible to continue the salmon tasting activities.
With this gimmick, I believe that salmon is not short of heat and does not worry about selling.
"Ouch, that's a good feeling." The proprietress clapped her hands and said, "The little boy is a cheerful person, I invited today's ravioli." ”
How much is a bowl of wontons, and even if you add an egg, it's only three dollars. But a piece of salmon can get 100 yuan, no matter how she counts, she earned it.
Wen Xian paused, then smiled knowingly and said, "Then thank you boss." ”
Just for these two bowls of wontons, she has to catch another salmon anyway.
Leaving the wonton stall, Wen Xian and Xia Zhi went to the seed shop, bought some vegetable seeds, and also bought fruit tree seeds.
What surprised her even more was that she found melon seeds and pumpkin seeds.
These two are easy things to live in, and she has bought a lot of them.
After coming out of the seed shop, they went to the grain and oil shop again.
Although Mimian Wenxian planned to go back to the town to buy it, she still wanted to see what was in store first.
In the grain and oil shop, the shopkeeper was bored flipping through the notebook at the counter.
Seeing her and Xia Zhi coming in, he hurriedly got up and greeted, "What do you two sons buy, I have everything here?" ”
"Everything?" Wen Xian looked at the brown rice and rough noodles all over the ground and wondered, "No polished rice?" ”
She looked around, and there were a lot of brown rice and rough noodles in this shop, as well as soy sauce, but she didn't see polished rice and fine noodles.
In these years, the grain and oil shops are all expensive and cheap, and the polished rice has to be bought by other families?
Hearing Wen Xian's words, the shopkeeper was not angry, but smiled and said: "The son is from out of town, don't you know, our city has a lot of victims." In the past, these victims had just entered the city, and they would be hungry and would grab things.
The milled rice in my shop was robbed of a few catties by them. No, now they've all received these precious things, and here they are. ”
He lifted the planks from the wall, revealing the contents of several wooden jars beneath them.
Under the wooden planks there are several large wooden jars, which contain polished rice, white flour, and some millet and red dates.
Wen Xian glanced at it and said in surprise: "Then no one cares about them?" ”
She didn't expect that there was such a story here, this shopkeeper was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
The shopkeeper is a slightly chubby middle-aged uncle, with a happy face at any time, like a Maitreya Buddha.
Although he couldn't see any impact on his face, from his actual behavior, it was already clear that he was very scared.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Yes, of course." Those who robbed things were put in prison with a rod of fifty years, and they have not yet been released. ”
But because of this, no one has to pay for his losses at all.
Of course, even if those people are not locked up, there is no money to pay.
"If you break your wealth and avoid disasters, the shopkeeper will have a prosperous business and make a fortune in the future." Wen Xian comforted, and then asked, "How do you sell this polished rice and white flour?" ”
Hearing Wen Xian's words, the shopkeeper said happily: "Polished rice and white flour are 20 wen a catty, and today's first business will give you two yuan cheaper." ”
Just break through the words "financial disaster avoidance" and prosperous business, and he can have two less words.
However, Wen sank his face: "Eighteen wen a catty, so expensive?" I bought it some time ago, but it was only six dollars a pound. ”
Moreover, in her consciousness, polished rice and white flour are at this price, six yuan a catty.
"Liuwen?" The shopkeeper jumped to his feet and said, "Where did you buy it, tell me quickly, and I'll buy some too." ”
Six cents a pound, which is lower than his cost price. How could he not have known such a good thing.
Wen Xian chuckled in her heart, and said quietly: "Shopkeeper, what was the price of this rice in the past?" How many have you sold at the lowest and highest prices? ”
She suddenly found that the price she had here was just her own acquiescence, and she had not confirmed it with Zhu Qing.
Thinking of this, Wen Xian suddenly wanted to slap herself twice, why didn't she ask about the price.
The shopkeeper saw Wen Xian's confusion, and couldn't help but say, "Childe is the first time to come out to buy rice?" I don't know anywhere else, but here, I have sold for 50 wen a catty, and the lowest is 15 wen. ”
His expression was a little proud, fifty wen a pound, which was his highlight moment.
He then added: "However, fifteen wen a catty, that was five years ago when there was a bumper harvest. ”
"What about fifty wen a pound, when did it happen?" Wen Xian asked.
What is the concept of fifty wen a catty, take the pillars of ordinary people's families as an example, even if the daily salary is twenty wen, you can't buy half a catty of rice.
There are old and young, and a few people in the family are waiting to eat, and half a catty of rice is not enough to stuff their teeth. So, only brown rice can be bought.
The shopkeeper's face paused slightly: "At the time of the war last year, fifty wen a pound had to be robbed, and the supply was limited." ”
Wen Xian is clear, the price of war has skyrocketed, and that is normal.
She wondered, "Then why did you go back to twenty wen a catty?" ”
The war has not subsided, but has existed in another way. From a civil war to an internal and external war, it still has something to do with her.
Thinking of this, Wen Xian couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart. But it was only a small weakness in my heart, and then it was normal.
