"South Street? That's quite close to our alley. What do you sell? I'll go have a look another day and call out those old sisters then!"
The old sisters she was talking about were the people in the same alley who often bought Su Ziling tofu together.
"There are not many things sold. In the morning, there are steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, hair cakes, vermicelli, soy milk, and bean flour. At noon, there are ice noodles, sour papaya glutinous rice ball tea, and bean flour. In the afternoon, it is almost the same as vermicelli, bean flour, and soy milk."
Without raising her head, Su Ziling mixed a bowl and poured it into the aunt's basin, then mixed another bowl and another aunt took over.
"Is the fat cake the same one you sold last time?"
"What is Hanamaki? I've never heard of vermicelli, but I do know about soy milk. Is the ice powder the popular one at Xinghualou recently? I heard that ice powder is very cool and relieves the heat."
Su Ziling didn't expect that they also knew that they had heard of ice noodles. She replied patiently, "Yes, it's the hair cake. The flower rolls are similar to steamed buns, except that there is an extra layer of pastry and chopped green onion inside, so it tastes more fragrant. The vermicelli It’s made from sweet potatoes, it’s sour and spicy, and it’s also very appetizing.”
"I am selling the ice powder at Xinghualou. However, I was delayed for a few days due to family matters. Now I have opened a shop and sell it on South Street. Madam, if you are interested, you can come and have a look."
"Our shop has just opened. Three days before the opening, you will receive a bowl of sour and sweet sour papaya tea, with the option of adding small glutinous rice balls and honey red beans, as well as a plate of cold side dishes. Tomorrow happens to be the last day."
Free delivery? The last day?
After hearing her words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Okay, I'll definitely come. I've only bought this cake once. The elderly and children at home like it. It's sweet but not greasy, and it's also very soft. Even those with bad teeth can eat it."
Although the price is a bit expensive, it is big and delicious. There are dried red dates on it. Besides, how many things with added sugar are cheap?
In her opinion, five pennies a dollar was a good deal. If she had a small appetite, she could eat enough for just one dollar.
"Tomorrow is the last day? Then we have to go. Where exactly is it on South Street?"
"It happens to be at the crossroads, opposite Zuixianlou. Does Madam Zuixianlou know?"
"Oh ~ that location, then I know, when will you open the door? Then I will call more people to come and buy it. Can I buy soy flour in the morning?"
"Thank you, auntie. When you call someone, I will give you an extra bowl of soy milk, sweet or salty. If the door opens, you can come anytime. Just watch everyone's time."
When they heard Su Ziling say another bowl of soy milk, those who were already ready to move became even more excited.
People are like this. You don't care whether it tastes good or not. As long as you hear it's for free, you should take a look no matter what. It's free, so don't give it up for free.
After the eighteen bowls were washed, he came over to help collect the money. With him collecting money, Su Ziling could collect the money faster, so she only had to be responsible for slicing and mixing the bean flour.
Seeing that there are so many people queuing here, people keep approaching, asking, and then trying the food, and finally turning around to go home to get a basin.
When the new customers from the front came with their basins, they found that there were so many people queuing up here, "Go, go, go, hurry up, I'm just saying go fast, look how long it's been, the queue is here." With so many people here, we’ll be sold out before we get there!”
The queue keeps growing, and those who buy in the front are very happy, while those in the back are waiting anxiously, for fear that their turn will be sold out.
In less than an hour, all the bean flour I brought over had been sold out, and there were still seven or eight people who came late and didn't buy it.
Several people looked regretful, "Girl, will you come tomorrow? When will you come? We can come here early and line up."
Su Ziling answered them while collecting the buckets, "Tomorrow it will be almost noon, but if you are worried about not being able to buy it, you can go to the store to buy it in the morning. There is a Suji restaurant on South Street, which is mine."
"Ah? You have a shop at home? Is it open now? If it's open, let's go there and have a look, and get familiar with the road by the way."
In this way, three people followed Su Ziling back to the shop.
When he returned to Su Ji Restaurant, Li Zelan and his friends hadn't sold out their ice powder yet, and there was a queue in the shop. Although he was proficient in the process, he was still a little slow on his own.
Seeing Su Ziling back, not only the diners were happy, but Li Zelan was also visibly happy.
"Cousin, you're back, come and save me!" He was crying and his expression was so exaggerated that everyone was amused.
"Sanlang, hurry up, don't stop, we are all waiting!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the time you stopped was enough to scoop out a bowl."
Li Zelan: "..."
Seeing Su Ziling coming over to put in the ingredients, Li Zelan just scooped up the ice powder. He muttered, "How cruel! My cousin's cows are not so slaves anymore. My hands are cramping when I am able to scoop them. Anyway, let me Take a breath!"
Seeing that his face was wrinkled into a bun, everyone burst out laughing.
The people who followed Su Ziling into the store looked at the long queue and were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that there would be a queue in this store too?
The few people were not in a hurry, so they found a seat to sit down and looked around the lobby casually.
Then they noticed that almost everyone sitting in the lobby had a bowl of that crystal clear powder, and Sanqian was stunned.
"Brother, what are you eating? Is it delicious?"
The person who was asked was also stunned. Apparently he didn't expect that there would be people who came to Suji Restaurant to eat and didn't know about ice powder.
"This is ice powder, a specialty snack from Suji Restaurant. It's ice cold. You can try it too."
The man said a few words, then lowered his head eagerly and continued eating.
Seeing everyone devouring their food, several people looked at each other and hesitated for a moment when they saw the price on the sign, but it was too hot, and one of them licked his lips.
"How about we buy a bowl for the three of us? I think the portion is pretty big. Then we can order two cups of sour papaya glutinous rice ball tea. What do you think?"
A bowl of ice powder costs ten cents, two cups of sour papaya glutinous rice ball tea costs six cents, and three people cost five/six cents each, which seems acceptable.
Thinking of this, the three of them nodded in unison, then one person took a seat and the other two started to line up.
There was a lot of ice powder made, and although the three of them arrived late and were at the back of the queue, they still had it.
As soon as the ice powder entered the mouth, the cool, tender and refreshing taste of the ice cream instantly amazed the three of them. The sweet and sour taste after mixing well, coupled with the fact that it had been hanging in the well for a long time, took one sip and instantly refreshed the heart and mind.
The three people's eyes widened and they murmured, "No wonder it's called ice powder, it really lives up to its name! It's much more delicious than the one delivered to the county government that day, and that one isn't as cold."
