Chapter 15 Provocation
“It came just in time.” Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
She did not expect that the business of black vegetable meatloaf would be so good, and the amount of black vegetable used far exceeded his estimate.
The large basket of black vegetables I bought at Jiangzhuguo has been completely used up, so apart from the ones given to the county school, I only made a dozen black vegetable patties today, and Sold out early.
Xia Mingyue was still worried about frequently explaining to regular customers that there was no black vegetable meat pie, but Jiang Zhuguo happened to have brought black vegetables just now.
"Really?" Jiang Zhuguo was overjoyed when he saw that he did not bother Xia Mingyue, but was praised by Xia Mingyue. "Then I will send Sister Xia home now."
"Okay."
Instructing Mrs. Lu to take care of the stall, Xia Mingyue led Jiang Zhuguo to send the black vegetables home.
It was still based on the previous price of thirty cents per basket, but Xia Mingyue carried it, and this time the weight of the bamboo basket was heavier than last time.
Jiang Zhuguo said with a smile, "No one bought my black vegetables before. Since Sister Xia bought it, she is a repeat customer this time, so naturally she will give more."
Who doesn’t like a kind and beautiful sister?
"Take this and eat it on the way." Xia Mingyue took a green onion meatloaf from the basket and stuffed it to Jiang Zhuguo.
It will be noon soon, and it will take a long time to walk all the way back.
Jiang Zhuguo hesitated, then happily took it after a moment, "Thank you, Sister Xia. I'll leave first then. I'll come back in a few days to deliver black vegetables to Sister Xia."
"Be careful on the road."
After bidding farewell to Xia Mingyue, Jiang Zhuguo happily walked home with scallion-flavored meat pie in his hands.
The rich aroma of the onion-flavored meatloaf made Jiang Zhuguo's mouth water. But he still resisted taking a bite. Instead, he carefully wrapped it in oil paper and stuffed it into his arms.
Go back and let your mother have a taste.
My mother has suffered a lot, and now her health is getting worse. Her father can no longer count on her. She has to work hard to make a lot of money so that her mother can live a good life.
If Jiang Zhuguo thought, he would walk faster.
"Little girl." someone shouted.
Jiang Zhuguo stopped, and when he saw a middle-aged woman calling her, he pointed at himself, "Are you calling me?"
"Exactly what I'm looking for. What about you?" Madam Zhang waved her hands, signaling Jiang Zhuguo to come over.
"Are you okay, aunt?"
"Little girl, aunt would like to ask you, how much did you sell those black vegetables to Mr. Xia?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"Thirty coins per basket." Jiang Zhuguo didn't hide anything.
“Thirty Wen?” Mrs. Zhang twitched her lips.
“Do you think my black vegetables are too expensive?” Jiang Zhuguo was a little uneasy.
Last time I sold black vegetables back home, even my mother couldn’t believe that someone would actually buy these worthless black vegetables.
"Silly boy, you are being sold cheaply!" Madam Zhang pulled Jiang Zhuguo aside and lowered her voice a little, "I'm afraid you don't know that Madam Xia bought you for thirty cents. A basket of black vegetables can be made into black vegetable cakes for eight cents each. She will sell one or two hundred cakes this day. Think about how much money she will make from your black vegetables. "< br>
"She makes so much money, and you only have these thirty cents. What if you don't suffer a loss? This person has really fallen into the eyes of money. Listen to me, don't sell this dirty thing to me in the future. Such a shameless person is making money!"
Jiang Zhuguo frowned, "Auntie, you want to sell black vegetables to Sister Xia too?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Somewhat angry.
Does she seem to be so short of money? How could you think so.
"The head of my family is serving in the military, and my family is not short of money. I just think that Xia has a bad intention to make money, so I can't help but want to remind you, don't wrongly accuse a kind person!"
Kindhearted?
Jiang Zhuguo tilted his head, "Auntie said she is a kind-hearted person, so would you be willing to spend thirty cash to buy me a basket of black vegetables?"
Buy black vegetables?
How is that possible!
She is not a fool, how could she buy such a thing.
Her family is not rich enough to throw it around!
But I can’t say it at this time.
Ms. Zhang murmured for a while, "The main reason is that I don't like eating black vegetables..."
"Come on." Jiang Zhuguo narrowed his eyes, "Since you don't want to buy my black vegetables..." Food, don’t talk about it here, it will delay my making money.”
"I've seen people like you a lot, and you're not a kind person. But just watching Sister Xia do business and making money, I can't let it go, so I want to provoke others and make others go against Sister Xia, so as to disturb Sister Xia's business. . ”
This kind of person is the most selfish, and has never thought about how she, a little girl, will live if she is deceived.
"I didn't!" Ms. Zhang argued, "I just kindly reminded you..."
"Be careful what you say, keep your head high and have a god. If you say too much against your will, God will remember it. When you get impatient, it’s time to deal with it!”
Jiang Zhuguo glared at Mr. Zhang fiercely, tightened the strap of the bamboo basket on his shoulder, and strode away.
Zhang was left stunned. He stayed there for a long time before coming back to his senses. He stamped his feet several times in succession and even spat several times in the direction Jiang Zhuguo left.
Bah!
The black-hearted little whore dared to curse her?
Forget it if you don’t listen, I’ll wait until you cry in the future!
Yes, they say people are divided into groups. If you can do business with Xia Mingyue, you will be a good person!
Mrs. Zhang was cursing and her face was red with anger.
Boom!
There was a sound of thunder out of thin air.
Everyone was so shocked that they looked up at the sky.
Mr. Zhang was even more shocked and shrank her neck. After being stunned for a moment, she yelled "Wow!" and ran home crying.
Everyone looked over in surprise, not knowing why.
A cloud of black smoke came out of a shop nearby, and a figure ran out of the black smoke. After a cough, he wiped the black ash on his face and looked straight at the people who were looking towards him. His people surrendered and apologized.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m shocking everyone. There were squibs from the Chinese New Year in the firewood, and the stove collapsed when I was cooking the pot...”
Because there was not enough black vegetables. Because of this, Xia Mingyue and Lu didn't make many pancakes today, and all were sold out in a short while.
Close the stall early, buy some vegetables for lunch on the street, go home and start making lunch.
Wash the soybean sprouts two or three times, rinse out the soybean skin mixed with the soybean sprouts, and stir-fry the pork belly slices with star anise and minced garlic until fragrant. Add more salt, soy sauce, five-spice powder, etc. than usual for cooking. , and finally add an iron ladle of boiling water to ensure there is enough vegetable soup.
Pull out thin and flexible noodles from the previous piece of noodles. Instead of cooking them in the pot, steam them in the pot and mix them thoroughly with the previously fried pork belly and soybean sprouts.
The originally snow-white noodles fully absorbed the soup and turned into a bright brown color. The fragrance of the noodles and the rich aroma of the pork belly also gradually merged, fully stimulating the human nasal cavity.
Such an alluring color and aroma made even Xia Mingyue, who was accustomed to her craftsmanship, sniffle and swallow the saliva that filled her mouth.
