During the past few days at work, Zeng Daniu advertised to the people at the dock that he was going to set up a stall selling spicy hotpot, and asked everyone to come and try it out.

Jiang Li, Jiang Chunhua, and his daughter had already set up the stall, set up the stove, and boiled a pot of bone soup.

It was still a little while before noon, so Jiang Li put a handful of noodles in first. The noodles and tofu had been cooking for a long time. After the noodles were cooked until they floated, he picked them up and then added the vegetables.

There were also some chopped braised pork livers and braised pork intestines on the stall. Jiang Li put some into a big bowl, then poured a spoonful of bone soup on them and added a spoonful of chili sauce.

"Okay, let's eat first. Someone will be here soon after we finish eating."

Jiang Li asked Zeng Meixiang to help carry it to the table next to him.

"Why is this soup so red?"

Jiang Chunhua asked, looking at the large bowl with many dishes and few sides in front of her.

"Try it and see."

Jiang Li motioned to the two of them.

Jiang Chunhua was the first to eat. The hot soup quickly drove away the chill and warmed her whole body.

After eating, both of them were even sweating on their foreheads. Jiang Chunhua smiled and said: "Ali, no wonder you said that this Malatang will definitely sell well at the dock. After eating this bowl of noodle soup, everyone's body warmed up." , doesn’t everyone like it?”

Even dock workers can afford it. A bowl of vegetarian noodle soup with some green vegetables only costs five cents. If you add an egg, it costs seven cents. The salary is thirty cents a day. If you eat a bowl every few days, everyone I'm still willing to buy it.

Not long after Jiang Chunhua and her daughter finished eating, Zeng Daniu brought the first business to the stall.

I have been listening to his propaganda for a long time, but it has raised everyone's expectations.

I heard bustling sounds from afar, and it took a while before I arrived at the stall.

"My mother, please quickly prepare five bowls of noodle soup and add eggs."

Including Zeng Daniu himself, a total of five people came.

A few men sat down at the stall, and Jiang Chunhua went down neatly, cooking noodles, blanching vegetables, and poached eggs that she had fried at home in the morning.

Jiang Li was guiding from the side, then turned around and asked a few people, "Can I give you something different, spicy soup?"

Several people didn't understand what it was, but they heard Zeng Daniu say that his soup base was different from others, so they nodded in agreement.

Just give it a try, and don’t make people think you’re an old hat.

Soon five bowls of noodle soup with poached eggs were served.

Before everyone had time to listen to their feedback, several more people came to the stall.

Jiang Li and the others hurried forward to greet them, "You guys can choose what you want to eat. Vegetables cost one cent a handful, eggs cost two cents, tofu costs one cent a skewer, and meat slices cost two cents a skewer. You can also add braised pork offal. It costs five cents, and noodles and rice cost two cents each.”

"Especially our soup base, there are two kinds, one is bone soup and the other is red soup. This is our exclusive specialty."

The people in front of the stall came in groups, and they all obviously knew each other. Jiang Li introduced them in detail, and then gave them a big bowl to choose from. After they had chosen, they went to Jiang Li to pay.

Then just wait for your number to be called to pick up your meal.

"Your method is quite novel!"

Someone in the crowd said with a smile.

After careful calculation, it was not expensive at all. For only twenty cents, you could feel full and satisfied. Everyone took the bowls and started picking at it.

There's nothing good to eat around here, and everyone wants to try something new.

Soon Jiang Chunhua and the others were all busy, collecting money, washing dishes, and washing dishes.

More and more people are coming to the stall, many of whom are attracted from passenger ships.

These people really have money but no time to spend. Now that we are close, come here and give it a try.

The four sets of tables and chairs that were brought over were quickly occupied.

Fortunately, the weather was cold and cold, so everyone ate quickly, and many people were in a hurry to go to work, so they left quickly without staying in front of the stall after eating.

In this way, the tables and chairs in the shed are just enough.

"Boss, the red soup here is really delicious. I'm sweating after eating it. I've never had it anywhere else."

A rough and arrogant man with dark skin said to Jiang Chunhua.

"Are you still setting up a stall at night?"

It turns out that Jiang Li never said that he would set up a stall at night, so Jiang Chunhua couldn't help but look at Jiang Li.

"Brother, are there many people eating out at night? If so, we will close the stall later in the afternoon."

If someone buys it, who thinks the money is hot?

The rugged man immediately said: "We used to make do with what we had on the boat. If you still set up a stall at night, we won't do it."

Cooking your own food in such a cold weather is troublesome, tastes bad and your hands get cold.

After finishing speaking, fearing that Jiang Chunhua would not set up a stall, she quickly said: "The boats in our area are like this. There must be many people coming out to look for food at night."

"Then we'll have a late dinner in the afternoon."

Jiang Li said.

Maybe the people who finished eating went back to promote, but not long after, people came again, and there were quite a few people.

Those in the front were collecting money and paying bills, those in front of the stove were boiling vegetables, cooking noodles and serving rice, and those in the back were collecting and washing dishes, all of whom were so busy that their feet didn’t even touch the floor.

But the naked eye can see that the money box is getting full.

Soon it was time to wait, and it was already past half hour before the last table of guests were sent away.

"Fortunately, we brought a lot of vegetables."

Zeng Meixiang said.

Half of the vegetables were not enough to sell, so the three of them had to wash them and tie them into small handfuls.

Zeng Daniu took the opportunity to come over and take a look, and was relieved when he heard that the stall's business was good.

Now that he was free, Jiang Li remembered something, "Auntie, I won't be able to come in two days. You two may not be able to work hard by then."

"Besides, does anyone in your family know how to settle accounts?"

Jiang Li asked.

Jiang Chunhua paused and asked, "Ali, now that your family is setting up a stall, will your parents settle the score?"

Jiang Li told Jiang Chunhua that his parents were learning arithmetic, "Now there are two stalls. I will let my parents be responsible for the revenue of their respective stalls. My grandfather and I will do the calculation again."

"Ali, I can still collect the money, but after a while everyone at the dock will go home to celebrate the New Year. Can we take advantage of this period to go to your house and learn the trade with your parents?"

Jiang Chunhua asked tentatively.

Jiang Li nodded quickly, "Of course."

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers at the stall, Jiang Li took Zeng Meixiang home to get some more noodles and meat.

Most of what I brought here in the morning has been consumed, leaving only vegetables.

After working at this stall in the evening, by the time we closed the stall and went home, several of us were already covered in stars.

"It's quite tiring."

Jiang Chunhua beat her shoulders and rubbed her hands.

"When I go home at night, I have to count how much money I have made. I look at people old and young, and the money box is full."

Jiang Chunhua looked tired, but said with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, after seeing you off, I will go home first. We have to go to the market to buy meat and vegetables tomorrow morning."

Jiang Li warned.
