Chapter 31 Opening


Chapter 31 Opening

Two earthen Kangs, each person lay down on one, and each of them turned their backs to each other in unison.

The distance maintained in this way made Xia Mingyue inexplicably feel at ease, and she closed her eyes very calmly.

After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next morning, Xia Mingyue once again saw Lu Qiyan practicing in the courtyard.

This time, Lu Qiyan practiced a set of boxing techniques.

The fists carry the wind, the momentum is quite fierce, and the body is also very agile.

If Xia Mingyue imagined such skills, it would be difficult to associate them with Lu Qiyan's handsome and gentle face, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he felt very harmonious.

It seems like it should be like this.

However, Lu Qiyan's skills should be rare in the army. No wonder he can become the leader of a group within a few months of joining the army.

Xia Mingyue sighed.

Wu Jin, who was squatting in the courtyard, looked at Lu Qiyan, an old man with a droopy face.

It’s time to live again, right?

When she saw Xia Mingyue walking into the main room with admiration in her eyes, her face became even more stinky.

High-visibility bags really annoy dogs!

Because Lu Qiyan didn’t like it, Wu Jin was quite dissatisfied with the fact that he was the one adding food to the earthen pot in the morning. Even if the pot contained the rice soup soaked in oil rolls that he loved to eat, he couldn’t even eat it. He didn't even eat, he just turned his head and looked around.

Xia Mingyue was quite surprised when she found that Wu Jin didn't eat. She gnawed the oil roll in her hand again and again, "There is nothing wrong with the oil roll today."

"No." Lu Qiyan replied, " The oil rolls are delicious. ”

The oil rolls are steamed and soft, and the dough is kneaded many times. There are many layers in the rolls, and there is enough pepper and salt in each layer, which makes it taste delicate and peppery. Full of fragrance.

Pair it with Xia Mingyue's cold dish mixed with shredded tofu, mung bean sprouts, peanuts, and shredded carrots, take a bite of the fresh, tender, slightly runny white egg, and drink a spoonful of soft and glutinous rice. Porridge...

Light, delicious and full of satisfaction.

But since Wu Jin doesn't eat such delicious fried rolls?

Xia Mingyue is a little strange.

Lu Qiyan paused, "Perhaps Wu Jin doesn't like eating this very much."

After all, Wu Jin is a dog, so logically speaking, he should prefer eating meat.

When Wu Jin heard what Lu Qiyan said, he immediately jumped up.

Why doesn't it like eating this? You are sowing discord!

Let’s just say this man is annoying to dogs!

Wu Jin glared at Lu Qiyan fiercely again, buried his head in the earthen pot, and started chewing heavily.

This picture of him eating happily shows that he obviously likes to eat.

That just now...

Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan were both confused and looked at each other, but they stopped thinking about it and just continued to enjoy breakfast.

After finishing cleaning up, Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi started busy.

First make all the various cakes to be sold today, and then bring the items and ingredients used for setting up the stall today to the stall.

The food that will be sold at the stall today is wontons.

The stuffing of scallion-flavored pork is packaged and sold freshly. The soup is made of pork bones and chicken racks, served with a few river shrimps, and garnished with some boiled scallion oil...

When the first bowl of wontons was cooked, the aroma spread to the distance with the spring wind.

“What smells so fragrant?”

“It seems to be a newly opened wonton stall over there.”

“Such fragrant wontons must taste great. You have to try it.”

“Hey, it smells good, but it doesn’t necessarily taste good. The small bowl of wontons costs 12 yuan, and the big bowl costs 15 yuan. It’s too much. It’s too expensive!” “You don’t know, this wonton stall is run by Mrs. Xia, so it must be expensive for a reason.”

“Which Lady Xia?”

“There is another Lady Xia, the one who sold meat cakes and vegetarian cakes before!”

“Hey, if she does it The wontons must be so delicious, you have to try a bowl of them.”

“…”

As a result, there were regular customers who had often bought cakes before, as well as new customers who were attracted by the scent of wontons, and because Xia Mingyue opened on the first day of the month, the shopkeeper Qian and the neighbors came to support...

In short, The wonton stall was quickly filled with people.

Xia Mingyue is responsible for making and cooking wontons, Lu greets the guests and clears the dishes, Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu are responsible for selling cakes...

Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai are also there.

The two of them were originally going to help light the fire and clean up the dishes, but after all, they were two old men who had been in the army for many years. They only knew how to practice killing enemies, and had never done such a job, which seemed a bit rough. Clumsy hands.

Mrs. Lu was impatient and couldn't stand the clumsiness of the two of them, so she simply kicked them out of the stall and asked them to sell cakes. Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were replaced by Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to light the fire and clear the dishes.

For Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai, this kind of hawking was also the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.

The two people looked at each other, and for a long time Zhao Youcai held back two words, "Selling cakes!"

Lu Qiyan was better than Zhao Youcai, and he shouted three words, "Selling meat cakes."

This way of selling , if it were placed in ordinary business, no one would pay attention to it, but the cakes made by Xia Mingyue are well-known in this area, and they have informed regular customers of the change in the sales location, so there is basically no need for Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai to shout. Customers come to buy one after another.

The main thing the two people need to do is collect money and get bread from the guests.

But the two of them are not familiar with these businesses, and their speed is much slower than that of Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi.

A square-faced, tall and thin man named Sun Goucheng saw this, his eyes rolled around in a circle, and then he walked up and said, "I want two meatloaf."

"Would you like green onion meatloaf or black vegetable meatloaf?" Zhao Youcai asked.

“It’s fragrant.” Sun Gouchen didn’t hesitate.

Black vegetables sounded like bad food, so he didn't want to eat them.

“Sixteen cents.” Lu Qiyan said, while taking oil paper to wrap the meat patties.

Sun Goucheng handed over a small piece of silver.

The broken silver weighs one penny, and if exchanged for copper coins, it can be exchanged for a hundred penny.

A lot of meat pies have been sold, and the copper coins in the purse are enough to make change.

Zhao Youcai carefully counted the number of copper coins that should be retrieved and handed them over with both hands.

Sun Goucheng took it and put them all back into the money bag, then smiled and said, "I forgot, I have copper coins here, so I'd better use copper coins. I still need to save the silver for betrothal gifts."

As he spoke, he reached out and handed over sixteen copper coins, "Please return the silver to me."

"Okay." Zhao Youcai took the copper coins and wanted to hand over the silver as well. past.

The corners of Sun Goucheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Tsk, it turns out that he is a person who doesn’t often do business, and he is so easy to fool. Today’s lunch at noon is a success!

But before he could be happy for too long, and before his hand even touched the silver coin, Lu Qiyan stretched out his hand to block it, "Wait a minute."

Sun Goushen was startled, and subconsciously You have to reach out and grab that piece of silver.

Lu Qiyan had quick eyes and quick hands and took hold of Sun Gou Sheng's wrist.

The force was so strong that Sun Gouchen bared his teeth in pain and shouted at Lu Qiyan, "My wrist is about to break, please let go!"
