Chapter 333: The Temptation of Food
From Huangsha City in the northwest to Jiangnan Town, although the long journey along the way was hard, it made Mobei's heart have a little quiet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The farther south, the warmer the weather, the only thing Mo Bei feels happy about is that he can eat a lot of food, although he doesn't have much money left, but Mo Bei saves alone, and he can still eat some good meals every three or five days.
Yangliu Town is the town where Mobei has been staying for the longest time, and the main reason is that the food here makes him linger.
After eating the last plate of steamed dumplings, Mo Bei only had money left in his pocket to live in the hotel, and he still had to live in the cheapest inn.
Jiangnan is rich, plus the things are delicious, the price is naturally a lot higher, Mo Bei thought carefully for a long time, and decided to eat two plates of steamed dumplings, he could sleep on the street.
"Xiao Er, I want two more plates of steamed dumplings, one with mutton filling and one with beef filling. ”
"Okay! Wait, the guest officer will be here soon!"
After a while, the shopkeeper brought two plates of steaming steamed dumplings, and Mo Bei immediately started to eat, but he ate very slowly, because if he ate too quickly, he would finish it immediately.
However, good things can't always be kept, just a stick of incense, and the two plates of steamed dumplings are gone!
Mo Bei was very reluctant to pay and leave, looking up at this shop, he didn't know when he would be able to come back to eat again.
Lying on the tree on the street at night, Mo Bei tossed and turned, not because it was uncomfortable to sleep here, but because he missed the steamed buns, steamed dumplings, noodle soup and other delicacies he had eaten today, although everything was very ordinary, but it made people love it very much!
Sleeping until midnight and being woken up by a gurgling stomach, Mo Bei was very helpless, he still wanted to continue to starve, and he just hoped that the sky would light up soon.
However, Mo Bei's money has been completely spent, and if you want to eat delicious food, you must have money as soon as possible!
But in addition to hunting, Mobei couldn't think of any other money-making skills, but there were no spirit beasts and other animals in the south, and it was completely impossible to hunt, so he was particularly distressed, and this matter made him think about it all night, and he didn't come up with a clue when it was dawn.
When he came to the previous restaurant, Mo Bei felt his empty pockets, he wanted to walk in, but what if he didn't have money?
"Little Er, can you get credit? I want to ......"
"Guest officer, the small shop is a small profit, no credit, you look at the signs are written, if you really have no money, you can go to the dock in front of you to work for a day, you can also make a dozen big money, enough for you to come here to rub a meal, you are strong and strong, you should have strength, of course, if you have other ways to make money, just when I didn't say it." ”
The shopkeeper was quite polite, Mo Bei smiled awkwardly, and walked towards the dock at the head of the bridge.
To be honest, Mo Bei didn't know what kind of work he had to do at the dock, he had never done such a thing when he was so old.
When I came to the wharf, I saw a wooden sign erected here, with the word "recruitment" written on it, but there was no one in the morning, only seven or eight guys were busy carrying sacks.
"Hello, can I make money working here?" asked Mo Bei.
The person who was dozing off on the chair was stunned suddenly, and took a closer look at Mo Bei, this kid is tall and big, and he should have some strength, so he said: "We have a lot of shipments at Dangyang Wharf recently, so we urgently need a group of workers, if you want to come, fifteen big dollars a day, plus a meal at noon, if you want, you can stay, and start work now." ”
"I'm willing, when will I get the money?" Mo Bei asked eagerly.
"The work on the wharf is settled on the same day, if there is no work on a rainy day, you can only rest at home, it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is such a rule. The boss said with a smile.
Mo Bei nodded, this is exactly what he wants, he can go back to the restaurant to rub it after a day's work, and he is very happy to think about it.
The boss gave Mo Bei a work uniform with the mark of Dangyang Wharf, and then began to assign him tasks, which is actually a big task, for Mo Bei, this is too easy to do.
Two ships of goods are unloaded to the wharf, and then the two ships are loaded with goods at the wharf, which is considered completed, as long as it is loaded within a day, if it is not finished, you need to pay out of your own pocket to hire someone to load the goods, which is also an unwritten rule.
The first time Mo Bei worked, he didn't know how to do it, he just followed the example of others, carrying two bags of goods at a time, and then piling them up, which was not a complicated thing, and it was easy to master.
Mo Bei's speed is very fast, he has completed two or three times when others carry two bags, others have not finished unloading a shipload of goods, Mo Bei has already unloaded two ships and then loaded another shipload of goods, and he has not stopped at all, and he is not even sweating!
The boss was very happy to watch from the sidelines, he liked this kind of labor the most, even if it cost a few more dollars.
Before noon, Mo Bei had already done all the work.
"Brother, you did a good job, give you twenty big money, and the other five are my reward for you, and if you continue to come here tomorrow, I will still serve you twenty dollars!" the boss said with a smile.
After getting the money, Mo Bei was very happy, he was about to go to the restaurant to eat, but suddenly smelled a very special fragrance!
"What does it smell like?
Mo Bei followed the aroma and came to the side of a stall, this is a young girl selling mutton soup and barbecue, this kind of meal is very rare in Jiangnan, and ordinary people are not used to eating it at all, but those laborers still like it very much, because this meal can not only satisfy cravings, but also be full, unlike steamed dumplings in restaurants, there is no feeling at all after eating three or four plates.
"Hello, may I ask what kind of food are you selling here, how can it be so fragrant?" Mo Bei asked embarrassedly.
"Hello sir, this is my exclusive mutton soup, here is the barbecue, there are mutton, mutton liver, lamb lungs, lamb kidneys, etc., if you think it is not enough, there are flatbreads here, the price is not expensive, do you want to try it?" asked the girl with a smile.
There are a lot of sheep in the south, but most of them are milked or used to take wool, and there are very few people who really eat mutton, so the raw materials are very cheap, but because of eating habits, there are very few people who eat mutton and beef, so there are not many sales, but the competitive pressure is also small, and such a small stall can be opened at the dock, and the family can be raised.
"How much does it cost to have a bowl of mutton soup, two flatbreads, and twenty skewers?" asked Mo Bei.
"Five big bucks, I'll give you two more strings. ”
The girl happily served Mo Bei a big bowl of mutton soup, gave him two flatbreads, and then brought the meat skewers over.
This mutton is indeed very delicious, chewing strong, delicate to eat, rich soup, full of fragrant mouth, with flatbread, it can be regarded as delicious, and then eat skewers, that unique barbecue taste makes people appetite, Mo Bei quickly wiped out the food, and then asked for a bowl of soup and two cakes.
However, the more Mo Bei ate, the more delicious he felt, he had a big appetite, and his stomach and digestion were also very good, although it didn't matter if he didn't eat for three or five days, but his appetite was unbearable, and in the end he simply spent all the twenty big money in his pocket!
The girl has already been stunned, the first time she has met such a delicious guest, the key to deal with it seems that she has not eaten enough!
"Oops, I don't have any money again, I'm so sorry, I can't eat anymore now, I'm leaving, goodbye, I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Mo Bei was about to leave, but he heard the girl behind him shouting: "Slow down, these ten skewers are for you, you can take them and eat them slowly." ”
Mo Bei was stunned when he heard this, looked at the other party's innocent and lovely eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, I'm welcome." ”
Although it was very comfortable to eat lunch, it was not good at night, although he could still be hungry, but his mouth was very greedy, and he had to continue to endure it, Mo Bei only hoped that the next day would come early, and he would definitely not run out of money at that time!
Early the next morning, Mo Bei arrived, at the wharf, he loaded and unloaded the goods at the fastest speed, and then took the money and left, everything was smooth.
After spending half of the money on the girl's stall, Mo Bei went to the restaurant to rub it out when he was hungry at night.
After a month of such repetition, the south has entered a rainy period, and the sound of the dock is not very good, and it is already very good for Mobei to make ten big money a day.
"Hey, why didn't you prepare something for the barbecue today?"
Mo Bei, who is used to eating barbecue, is still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Business has not been good recently, and I didn't prepare so much, but just now the steward on the street came to warn me again, saying that barbecues are not allowed, so I didn't prepare. ”
Mo Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked puzzledly: "Why don't you let you sell barbecue?"
"It is said that there are no open flames in the dock area. The girl said helplessly.
Mo Bei nodded, although what those people said made sense, but this girl also lost some of her income, and he himself also had one less delicacy.
As soon as the girl brought Mo Bei a bowl of mutton soup, she saw a group of people swaggering over, all of whom were wearing black robes and were the stewards of this area.
"Yo, Sister Lihua, business is still so good on this rainy day, it's really unusual!"
"Hehe, it is estimated that the drunkard does not mean to drink, Sister Pear Blossom is pure and lovely, naturally someone has to come here to eat every day, sister, brothers have not eaten, don't be stunned, each person has a bowl." ”
Rika was obviously scared when she saw these people, she smiled stiffly, and then obediently served each person a bowl of mutton soup.
"Do you want a flatbread?" said Rika timidly.
"Of course, three per person!"
Rika looked embarrassed, but still carried the basket with the flatbread.
At this time, the leading man suddenly grabbed Pear Blossom's hand, and then said with a smile, Look, this thin skin and tender meat is different!
"Yo! Brother Leopard is so blessed! Hurry up and let the brothers touch this little hand if it is slippery!"
The other men immediately stretched out their groping hands, but their targets were not each other's hands, but ran towards Rika's body.
Pear Blossom hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, and then said tremblingly: "Brothers, please respect yourself, if there is no other need, I will leave, and there are guests waiting for me to serve him soup." ”
"Hey, who is so blind!
As soon as Brother Leopard said this, several guests who were eating quickly put the money on the table and left, and only Mo Bei ate with relish.
"Boss, another bowl. ”
Mo Bei's words made Pear Blossom happy, she had an excuse to leave, and hurriedly walked to Mo Bei's side.
"Wait a minute, I'll serve you soup. ”
"Bastard!"
Brother Leopard angrily threw a big bowl of mutton soup on the ground, and the few younger brothers who followed immediately dropped the bowl in their hands!
Mo Bei frowned, and said: "It's okay to eat, why do you drop other people's bowls? Besides, it's a pity that such a good broth fell off without drinking!"
At this time, Brother Leopard smiled coldly and said, "Since you think it's a pity, just kneel down and lick these broths clean!"
Mo Bei squinted his eyes and didn't answer everyone's words.
At this time, Pear Blossom put the mutton soup in front of Mo Bei, and then said: "Guest officer, please use it slowly, you can leave quickly after drinking, I won't take your money." ”
Mo Bei was just about to pick up the bowl, but Brother Leopard came over and spat on the mutton soup, and several younger brothers on the side immediately followed suit.
"Hehe, you drink it, don't you like it very much, if the condiment is not enough, my brother can add a little more to you!"
Brother Leopard said and spit again!
Mo Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, he was indeed a little angry in his heart, but he didn't know how to choose.
If you kill these people, you will become an innocent person, and although the other party is hateful, it will not die because of this incident.
But if you don't kill these people, the anger in Mo Bei's heart will be difficult to dissipate.
Maybe just teaching these people a lesson would do some good, but wouldn't that really be good?
"Hey, why don't you speak? Dumb? You eat! Aren't you very good at eating!"
Brother Leopard pressed Mo Bei's head and was about to press him to the table, but Mo Bei's body was very strong, and the other party couldn't shake his body even if he used all his strength.
Annoyed and angry, Brother Leopard directly picked up the mutton soup and splashed it on Mo Bei's face, making him covered in oil.
But even so, Mo Bei still didn't do anything, he was still thinking about the problem that bothered him.
"Guest, are you alright?"
Pear Blossom on the side was startled, and hurriedly took out a rag to help Mo Bei wipe it, but was directly grabbed by Brother Leopard's arm.
"Hehe, Sister Lihua, you see that it is sparsely populated here today, and it is raining, why don't we let our brothers have a good time, and the business of your small stall will definitely be prosperous in the future!
Brother Leopard pressed the pear blossom on the table as he spoke, the other party's body was light, and he didn't have as much strength as Mo Bei, so he was easily subdued, and a few people at this time also hurried over to tear Pear Blossom's clothes.
Hearing Lihua's shout, Mo Bei finally opened his eyes and said to himself: "The world is dirty, where is Qingping?"
