Dress like a farmer

"Is this kid itchy? Is he in need of a beating? Let's talk!"

"I think he did it on purpose. Which of us doesn't know that brother Ping's food is delicious, and he needs to describe it?"

"It's full of water! Second uncle, you're the youngest, you need to discipline him more. I feel itchy just looking at him."

"When will the Roujiamo be sold?"

"Why is this lo mei so fragrant? It's not that there are no lo mei shops in the town, so there is no such attractive fragrance."

"Hurry up and sell it, I came here hungry, just to eat some Roujiamo."

There was a lot of talking and talking, someone passed by, looked at the bustle of the shop, and glanced curiously, when the strong fragrance of marinade floated into his nose, he couldn't control his mind, and his eyes stared straight at the shop. Looking in the store, I couldn't bear to blink, and I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses.

"This is a lo-mei shop? Is it a good time to open today?" He looked up at the signboard: "Chen Ji Roujiamo? What is Roujiamo?" While muttering, he went to the door of the store, straightened his head and wanted to see carefully.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? If you don't see them, they are all lined up obediently. Get in the queue and go to the back."

"Brother, are you new here? You can tell from your lost soul that you are new here. Go, line up at the back, and wait with peace of mind."

"Hey, how do you sell this? Do you have to line up? I'm sorry, I'm just curious, this smell is too fragrant." He chuckled and walked to the back to line up.

"Five cents for a roujiamo, don't worry about it, don't think it's too expensive, brother Ping's craftsmanship is amazing! I guarantee you will want to eat it after eating it."

The first batch of pancakes came out, and the queue was already long, almost blocking the street. Old man Chen quickly divided the queue into two teams, and he and his youngest son stood in front of the counter.

The shop is not big, with a hearth and an oven. There is a long counter at the door, and there is a small opening for a stove. There is a steamer on the stove. There were only about a hundred of them, and the door was completely blocked, people inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in.

Shrimp paste, red square fermented bean curd, and spiced tea eggs are all placed on the counter, next to the wall, so they won't get in the way.

Because there are no sundries, the shop is small, and it looks spacious.

Chen Yuping was in the back, in charge of the oven and stove, Chen Yuanqiu stood in front and guarded the counter, old man Chen would go to the back to help the eldest son from time to time, lighting the fire and so on, and when the front was busy, he came to the front to say hello again.

The stewed meat was picked up from the pot, it was boiling hot, and the scorching heat contained a strong stewed fragrance. Chen Yuanqiu chopped the stewed meat, stuffed it in the middle of the pancakes, and finally poured a small spoonful of marinade, one fragrant The hot meat buns are just fine.

"You have to eat it while it's hot. The taste is strong enough. Start eating from both sides, and be careful that the marinade of the marinated meat flows out."

One bite into the mouth, fragrant is just one word!

"I, I, I want to buy two more, give me two more!"

"What are you thinking? You walked away. If you want to buy something, go back in line."

"Yes, go back in line, if you eat one, you'll be satisfied."

"I want three, plus two more tea eggs."

"Give me five."

"I bought so many, I also want two, no, I want three."

Seeing the person who bought a Roujiamo at the front, he ate the Roujiamo while queuing at the back. There was more than one person like this. The people who were queuing up knew that the Roujiamo must be so delicious. !No, one is too few, two are not many, at least three, four, five, or else line up again, I don't know if they can be sold.

Then Chen Yuanqiu and Chen Laohan and his son discovered that no one said to buy one or two, usually it was three, and the most were four or five.

Someone originally wanted to buy one or two. Seeing the enthusiasm and smelling the strong stew, his mouth was full of saliva and his heart was so greedy that he was like a kitten scratching his head. His brain couldn't control his mouth and he opened his mouth. After paying the money, I walked a few steps away with the roujiamo, my dazed mind regained consciousness, and I went back to look at Chen Ji's shop, and immediately shivered, thinking, this shop is really scary!terrible!He had to take a detour in the future. Originally, he only wanted to spend five Wen to taste the taste, but he spent fifteen Wen at once. One must know that when he went out today, he wanted to spend three Wen to buy two steamed buns to fill his stomach.

Of course, he would still come early tomorrow morning.

why?

Really fragrant!

Nearly [-] catties of stewed meat were sold out before noon.

The three of the Chen family, father and son, were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely. Four words are not enough to describe it.

"There is no stewed meat, no meat clips, only red square fermented bean curd, steamed buns and five-spice tea eggs are left. The steamed buns are not wiped with shrimp paste and fermented bean curd for one penny, and those who want to be wiped with shrimp paste or fermented bean curd are three penny for two. Five-spice tea leaves Eggs cost one penny, and red square fermented bean curd costs two yuan per penny. Bring your own bowl. If you don’t have a bowl, you can buy jar by jar. It costs 25 cents a jar. It can last for more than a month. Now it’s cold, so eat Two or three months is fine."

"Braised trotters? It's sold out long ago. There aren't many braised pork trotters. If you want to eat, please go early tomorrow!"

Chen Yuping sat on a small stool, leaning against the wall, holding a bowl of strong tea, drinking it lazily, and finally had the strength to speak after resting: "Father, I'm not busy now, the youngest will be watching. You go and buy pig intestines and trotters, and then bring them home, and ask the third uncle if you can supply more pork. If you can, don’t use it in the town. If not, my father has to come to the town after lunch. By the way, don’t worry about the two of us, we will go to the alley to eat wontons in chicken soup at noon.”

"Success." Old man Chen said too much this morning, his throat was a little tired, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Chen Yuping glanced at the younger brother who was still full of energy, thinking how good it is to be young: "There will be no one here, you sit and rest for a while, don't always stand."

"Third brother, I'm fine. It's nothing compared to busy farming." Chen Yuanqiu smiled and said, "I just said that we prepared too little stewed meat. Look, we didn't even arrive at noon, so we sold the meat buns." It's over, there are not many steamed buns left, and there are still a few spiced tea eggs, so we can go home early in the afternoon."

"Tomorrow we will prepare more, and we will calculate the money later. We don't need to be too tired if we earn about the same amount. Today, we have Father here. If Father doesn't come tomorrow, we will be even busier."

"What's the matter, just line up and come one by one, I can hold on to the third brother, don't worry!"

After old man Chen went back, not long after, old man Chen came to the shop with an ox cart.

"Your third uncle said that pork can be supplied to you vigorously, and he has as much as he wants. In the future, with your blessing, he can also kill two pigs a day." While talking, old man Chen took his lunch Out came out: "What kind of wonton are you going to eat? I've been tired all morning and I need to eat better. This is your second sister-in-law's spoon. She's also very good at cooking."

One soup, two meat and one vegetarian, the taste is really good.

While they were eating, Father Chen talked about the family affairs in detail.

The Roujiamo on the stall is also very popular, and there are still many that have not been bought. They say they are going to the town, and they probably won't be able to catch up.

Shrimp paste steamed buns can’t be sold, and there are some leftovers on the stalls. Fortunately, I thought of this, and I didn’t steam too many steamed buns. The five-spice tea egg stewed pig’s trotters and stewed pig intestines were all sold out. After selling it, I was quite disappointed.

He also said that the drafting brother and Qiao Niu'er played really well, they were very well-behaved, and they didn't cause them much trouble.

After the two sons finished their meal, Father Chen was not in a hurry to leave. There were not many steamed buns and tea eggs left in the shop, so they were sold out, so they closed the shop and went back together.

In the middle of the day, the steamed buns and tea eggs are all sold out, and the remaining red square fermented bean curd is durable, so there is no need to worry at all, as it will be sold tomorrow in the store.

"Are you going to go back? The business is so good. If you cook another pot in the afternoon, you can completely sell out the meat buns." The owner of the shop next door was a little puzzled. Do you want to make money?

Father Chen smiled: "There are a lot of things at home, and I have to go back to make arrangements. It's not as convenient as living in the town."

"For today's business, buying a house in the town is just around the corner."

"I accept your good words."

Back home, Liu Guixiang was guarding the stall, the two children were sleeping soundly on the bamboo couch, and Chen Yuandong was sitting under the eaves repairing the broken baskets.

"I'm back." He got up and went into the kitchen to pour coolness and get a chair.

Chen Yuandong put aside his work, helped to unhook the car, and led the cow to the cowshed behind the house.

"Is the food in the store sold out?"

Chen Yuanqiu drank his saliva, and replied to his second sister-in-law: "Only Hongfang fermented bean curd is left, and everything else is sold out. Where are the ones from our stall?"

"It's almost over." Liu Guixiang smiled with crooked eyebrows, as long as the business is good.

Father Chen looked at the two children for a while and asked, "Where did your father go?"

"Going to the field, he said he was going to take a look. If nothing happened, he went to the mountains to collect some firewood and came back."

"He's really restless."

Chen Yuping felt tired, seeing that it was very early: "Father, Second Sister-in-Law, I'll sleep first to replenish my energy."

There are still things to be busy at night. Now the pork and trotters are marinated at night, soaked in the marinated pot for a whole night, and the pot is reheated in the next morning.

It can be done like this when the weather is cold, and when the weather is hot, the stewed meat must be sold on the same day.

"Go, let's go, the youngest one also goes to sleep for a while."

"I'm fine, I don't sleep." Chen Yuanqiu was in good spirits: "Did the pig intestines wash out?"

Liu Guixiang replied to him: "Your second brother was washed, he was clumsy, he washed very slowly, but he was very clean, his body smelled bad, and the two children didn't want him to come near."

"I'll go to the mountains to look at the fish cages, maybe my father has taken them, so I can pick up some firewood and come back."

Father Chen was delighted at once: "This is also a restless one."

At home, there are old man Chen, Chen Yuandong and his wife, the three of them can afford it. Early the next morning, old man Chen went to town with his third son and youngest son.

The amount of braised pork has been increased this time, much more than yesterday, but it is still not enough to sell.

Only one day later, the whole town knew that there was a Chen Ji Roujiamo at the end of South Street. Haven’t heard of this thing!

The taste is quite good!I can't stop eating, I want to eat more, the more I eat, the more satisfied, delicious!The fragrance is endless!

"I want ten, but it's my turn. I didn't buy any yesterday. I was hungry for half the night, and I couldn't sleep half the night."

"Ten?" Chen Yuanqiu glanced back: "Third Brother, do you still have ten?"

"There's not enough stewed meat, there are only seven left."

Those who were still in line at the back became anxious when they heard this.

"What's the matter? It's gone again? I said boss, your business is so good, why can't you prepare more braised pork? I've been waiting for this for a while, and it's about to be my turn, why is it gone?"

"Brother, there are a lot more stewed pork today than yesterday. There's no way the business is too good. You should hurry up tomorrow."

"It's too futile to open a shop and do business."

Chen Yuanqiu ignored his muttering, packed up the remaining seven Roujiamos, took the money and threw it into the money box, the clear and crisp sound of copper coins, no matter how many times he heard the sound of money, he listened All of them are happy, happy and satisfied.

"The Roujiamo is sold out today." Old man Chen hung up the sign, the words were very large and conspicuous.

Yesterday I went to the village chief's house on purpose and asked the village chief to write it. The village chief is a scholar and wrote a good handwriting.

"Sold out again? Let's forget about a few steamed buns, three with shrimp paste, two with fermented bean curd, and two more tea eggs."

"Is there any more braised pig's trotters?"

Chen Yuanqiu replied with a smile: "Yes, there are a few more, today is a coincidence."

"Give me two. If you don't eat the braised pork buns, eating two braised pig's trotters will satisfy your hunger."

Some people think that Roujiamo is not good, so they have to call it braised pork bun, but more and more people call it braised pork bun.

Another day of closing early and going home.

"Do you want to increase the amount of pork?" Old Man Chen asked.

Chen Yuping thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's enough, let's sell it like this, and we can take a breather." The most important thing is that the hunger sales can make the business more and more prosperous. The taste of the steamed bun is really delicious, so fragrant that it can enthrall the soul, and it is satisfying in one bite!Didn't buy it, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to eat it, and I stretched my neck and waited for the next day.

"Just starve them to death!" Chen Yuanqiu laughed so badly.
