Chapter 11 Greedy
But the vegetarian stuffing with eggs is different. With the addition of tofu, it will make people feel that it is worth the money.
"Then when you get up early tomorrow morning to buy meat, buy all the leeks and tofu as well." Lu said.
"I'm afraid I have to buy it now." It’s delicious. I bought it today and let it dry in the house overnight. The water content of the leeks is just right.”
Mr. Lu suddenly realized, “I thought the steamed leeks buns I had made were soggy and unpalatable. It turns out the leeks were too fresh. I’ll have to follow my sister’s advice in the future. Just give it a try.”
"Then I'll give it a try next time, sister-in-law." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile, and then went to the street with Mrs. Lu to look for a dealer selling leeks.
In spring, everything grows, and leeks grow quite quickly and are not as strong as they grow in summer. They are at the tender time.
Choose it dry and washed, spread it out in a cool place to dry, and when you get up the next morning, chop it into small pieces, and mix it with chopped fried tofu, scrambled eggs, starched vermicelli and blanched Season the cooked mung bean sprouts with salt, cooked hot oil, soy sauce and pepper.
Wrap the dough, make the cakes, fry them in the pan...
When setting up the stall today, I used two baskets, and the cakes in the baskets were piled high because of the large number.
Before Mr. Lu could start selling, regular customers were already surrounding him.
Black vegetable meatloaf is still very popular, and the new leek, egg, tofu and vermicelli cake also attracts many people to buy because it sells for six cents each.
The leeks are spicy, the eggs and tofu are fresh and tender, the vermicelli is soft and glutinous, and the mung bean sprouts add a refreshing flavor and crispy texture to the vegetarian stuffing...
“I have never had it. I don’t like the meat, I didn’t expect this plain cake to be so delicious.”
The person who spoke was the shopkeeper Qian who opened a small pastry shop on West Street, and the cakes in his hands kept coming. Put it in your mouth.
Bite and chew.
“Since Shopkeeper Qian thinks it’s delicious, I’ll come back to compliment it more in the future.” Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
"That's natural." Shopkeeper Qian nodded repeatedly, "I hope Madam Xia will visit the store more often in the future."
"Hey, hey, hey." Mrs. Lu said. After wrapping up the scallion-flavored meatloaf, a customer took the time to talk, "I said that shopkeeper Qian is also a businessman after all. How can he be so imprudent in his words and actions?"
"Mrs. Lu, this is What should I say?" Shopkeeper Qian was a little confused.
"You only invited Mrs. Xia to go shopping, why didn't you ask me to come with you? Isn't that inconsiderate?" Ms. Lu's eyes were raised, "Do you think I don't need makeup because I'm a thick-skinned person, or do you think I don't need makeup? I am stingy and reluctant to spend money?”
“How can I do that?” Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile. But Madam Lu asked, and I must tell you the truth, Madam Xia is indeed pretty and lovely, and she is a young lady and the newlywed of Captain Lu, so she should use more makeup."
< br>"As for Madam Lu, she is a flower on our West Street. She is so handsome that many people like her. Captain Zhao is very worried. If Madam Lu is asked to buy makeup and makeup, Captain Zhao will come to my shop with a big knife and hit me by my collar?”
"I'm a timid person, and I don't dare to provoke Captain Zhao." Shopkeeper Qian's eyes narrowed into a smile. "Of course I don't dare to ask Mrs. Lu to go shopping in the shop more."
Shopkeeper Qian's flattery made Mrs. Lu's face turn into a smile, but she also made up for it. One sentence, "Don't think that I will believe you just because you say this. Let's make it clear first that no matter how many cakes we buy, we won't give you any cheaper."
"Ms. Xia makes all kinds of cakes that are delicious and well worth the money. It would be nice if I don't give Mrs. Xia more money. Where can I get more bargains?" Shopkeeper Qian took out his wallet again as he spoke, "Xia Madam, help me get two more black vegetable meatloaf and one green onion meatloaf."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue accepted the money and took out the oil paper. Help shopkeeper Qian get the meat pies.
"There is nothing to say about Madam Xia's craftsmanship. The food she makes will definitely taste great. Will she sell her food in the future?" Shopkeeper Qian tried to find out.
“I should sell this first in the near future and wait and see how the business goes before making any plans.”
Shopkeeper Qian's business is not big, but he is well-known as a kind shopkeeper on West Street. He is also very loyal and honest. He has been cheering for him these days, so Xia Mingyue told the truth.
"If Madam Xia plans to sell the food next to her, she must tell me in advance so that I can come out with an empty stomach in advance."
Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile, "If If Mrs. Xia wants to set up a larger stall and needs help, she might as well ask. Although my shop has a small front, the wall to the right of the door is quite spacious. If we build a shed there, the land will be quite spacious and the location is pretty good. . ”
“If Shopkeeper Qian has this intention, then I really want it. When I plan to set up a bigger stall, I will go find Shopkeeper Qian. Shopkeeper Qian will not mind my eating. It's noisy," Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
"How could it be? If Madam Xia could set up a stall in front of my shop, I would be able to eat delicious food as soon as I go out, and it would save me the trouble of walking a lot. I hope Go there!”
Shopkeeper Qian let out a burst of hearty laughter, "Come on, Mrs. Xia is busy first, I will go back first."
"Shopkeeper Qian, walk slowly."
"I never knew that shopkeeper Qian was like this before Greedy?" Mrs. Lu moved closer to Xia Mingyue. , "In order to eat more delicious food, I am actually willing to use the open space at the door for you to sell food."
Most shops do not want those stalls at the door, for fear of being robbed. Wealth hinders luck, and noise affects the guests who come to the door.
“I think Shopkeeper Qian is not greedy, but he is good at doing business.” Xia Mingyue said with a smile, “Shopkeeper Qian’s shop has been open in the county for a long time, and everyone in the county knows about it, but Those who don’t go to the city often don’t notice his shop easily.”
"If we can sell food in front of his house, there will be a lot of people and people will inevitably stop. Naturally, we will pay more attention to his shop, and people will probably come to buy his high-quality and low-priced cosmetics."< br>
“That makes sense!” Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly, “It’s strange that shopkeeper Qian has been Mr. Ri came to support me. I really thought he was greedy. I never thought he was smart, but my younger siblings are smarter and can think of what he thinks.”
“Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me...” "
The two were joking, but shopkeeper Qian had slowly returned to the shop.
His wife, Ms. Liu, was sending a customer who had just bought a small box of lip balm out with a smile. When she saw shopkeeper Qian coming back, her face became visibly gloomy.
When the guests left, Mrs. Liu even squinted her eyes, "Are you going to buy cakes again?"
"Today, Madam Xia sold leek, egg, tofu and vermicelli cakes. It tasted good, so I went to try one. "Shopkeeper Qian laughed He was quite a loser, "I even brought the meat pie that my wife likes to eat, and she ate it while it was hot."
Asking for support~
