"Brother Wangcai, can you leave a piece for me to taste?" said Zhao Lao with a pinch on his face.

The other two have already eaten all the vegetables on the plate, only Jiang Wangcai's plate still has a few vegetable leaves left, as a professional door-picker, the face has never been the most important thing, and fighting the autumn breeze is a necessary skill.

It's a pity that Jiang Wangcai didn't give him a chance at all, this guy heard Zhao Lao say this, and immediately picked up the plate and poured it into the bowl, not only poured all the remaining vegetable leaves into the bowl, but also used chopsticks to scrape all the soup on the bottom of the plate.

"You ......" Zhao Lao was almost angry and had a cerebral hemorrhage.

Jiang Wangcai glared at him, "What are you, Zhao Laojiao, if you want to eat, you can order it yourself, just a tael of silver, you can't afford it." ”

People who know him know that this guy has at least several shops in Qinghe County for rent, plus the silver taels earned by the merchants, and there are always thousands of taels of income in a year.

But every time they travel together, this guy picks up some of the cheapest things to eat, Jiang Wangcai has long been out of sight, and today he wants to let this old man break the money once.

"Just order, isn't it just a tael of silver, the shopkeeper, bring me a plate of fried vegetables." Zhao Lao gritted his teeth and said.

If it were in normal times, it would be impossible to spend a silver or two to order a plate of fried vegetables for him to be killed, but now he was directly put on the beam by Jiang Wangcai, an old killer, and Zhao Lao could only grit his teeth and admit it.

Of course, in addition to being forced by Jiang Wangcai, he also had a curiosity in his heart about this plate of fried vegetables that was praised by the three accomplices.

It's a pity that he wants to spend money to suffer this dumb loss, but things are not as he wants.

Just when Zhao Lao thought that he could taste the delicious fried vegetables soon, Xu Yang said to him apologetically: "This guest officer, I'm really sorry, the ingredients in our store are not well prepared, and we can't supply fried vegetables for the time being, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Lao glared at him and said in annoyance: "Shopkeeper, are you afraid that I won't give money or what? They each ordered a plate, and when it was my turn, there were not enough ingredients, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"I'm really sorry, it's such a coincidence!" Xu Yang explained helplessly.

He's not a fool, now is the time to be short of money, and if you have money, you can deliberately not make it?

The problem is that the dishes need to be fried in oil, but the remaining oil in the kitchen has just run out, and the second egg that he sent to the next town to buy meat early in the morning has not come back until now.

"Then you say, when will the ingredients for stir-fried vegetables be ready?"

Zhao Lao didn't believe in this evil, he finally made up his mind to have a blood, and even encountered an embarrassing situation where he couldn't spend his money, and today he had to be on a par with this plate of fried vegetables that didn't reach his mouth.

"Guest officer, let my little friend go to the next town to buy early in the morning, and if it is fast, I can continue to supply fried vegetables in the evening." Xu Yang said with a smile.

In addition to horses, there is really no fast transportation these days, but it's a pity that Xu Yang didn't even raise a donkey, so he could only rely on Erdan to walk with the soles of his feet.

The next town is about thirty miles away from here, and the mountain road is rugged, so it will take at least a few hours to go back and forth, and it will be fast to come back in the afternoon.

"Okay, then I'll order one first. Zhao Lao said with a hammer.

There are robbers entrenched in Matou Mountain, and he can only spend the night in Taiping Town tonight, so Zhao Lao put on a posture of not giving up if he can't eat green vegetables.

Xu Yang immediately agreed.

If someone has to give him money from a fortress, there is no reason not to want it.

It's just that the return date of the second egg is later than Xu Yang expected.

waited until the sun was about to set, and the tired second egg took a few people back to Xu's wine shop.

After entering the door, Erdan handed the cloth bag in his hand to Xu Yang, and said dejectedly: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't buy the fish, and I didn't buy all the meat, so I only bought these two." ”

Although he set off at dawn, by the time he arrived in the next town, it was almost noon, and there were only these two bits and pieces left on the meat stalls on the street that no one wanted, and the fish stalls had already been closed.

Xu Yang untied the cloth bag and saw that it contained two large pieces of lard and a bunch of pork offal.

Xu Yang smiled and patted Erdan's shoulder, "It's okay, it's good to be able to buy these two, it's hard today, let's go rest for a while." ”

The world is relatively poor in material terms, and transportation is not convenient, in these remote towns, many times, it is not that you can buy what you want if you have money in your pocket.

Just like today, because the road to the west was blocked by robbers, Xu Yang could only ask Erdan to go to the relatively distant town to the east to buy ingredients, but he almost ran in vain.

Erdan didn't go to rest, he pointed to a few guys behind him and introduced: "Brother Yang, I met these guests at the intersection outside the town, and they asked me if there was a place in the town to stay in a sharp hotel, so I brought them back." ”

Xu Yang gave Erdan a thumbs up, and then greeted those people with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, although the store is small, you can stay in the store." ”

"Shopkeeper, let's take a break and order later. ”

I didn't get my meal, I ate too early, and I was hungry in the middle of the night.

Zhao Lao, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, didn't care if he had a meal or not, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, your little friend has come back, can you bring me a plate of fried vegetables?"

Xu Yang replied with a smile: "Guest officer, don't be impatient, the vegetables you want will be fried for you immediately." ”

"Yo, Lao Li, I'm about to get my wish, shouldn't we invite our brothers to have some wine to celebrate?" Jiang Wangcai said playfully.

Zhao Lao picked this guy, he was about to get a magic obstacle for that plate of fried vegetables, and he chattered there all afternoon.

"Roll on,......" Zhao Lao scolded Jiang Wangcai angrily.

If he hadn't been persecuted by this old killer, how could he have missed a plate of green vegetables? He swore that if he got a nervous disorder because of this, he would go to Jiang Wangcai's house tomorrow to retire.

Seeing Zhao Lao's angry look, Jiang Wangcai couldn't help laughing, "Haha, shopkeeper, since Zhao Laoli doesn't plan to entertain, then we'll order it ourselves, in addition to green vegetables, do you also serve other stir-fried dishes?"

"Guest, you can still supply a volcanic hibiscus tonight, but the price is a little too expensive. Xu Yang said honestly.

"How much is a plate?"

"Three taels of silver. ”

"Then give us a plate. Although the price was a little expensive, Jiang Wangcai still ordered a plate.

"We also fried two plates of greens. The one next to him still misses the greens.

"Well, everyone, please wait. Xu Yang smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and three plates of fried vegetables, all at once is six taels of silver, which is easier to come by than grabbing.

If the robbers on Matou Mountain knew about this, it is estimated that they would all have to change their careers to become cooks.
