When they arrived at the ferry, it was only daylight, and the three of them moved their things into the shop.Going to the market today, there will be more people at the ferry in half an hour, they have to hurry up.

Li Changguan won't come until after dawn, Yun Shuzhi sent them to the store and went back to the village first, Li Wugeng and Da Chen didn't dare to be lazy at all, one made wontons and the other cleaned.

After sweeping the floor, Da Chen wanted to help, but when he felt like urinating, he had to drain the water first.There was no hut in the shop, only at the back of the shop, he was too old to be bothered to go to the back, anyway, it was still early, and no one would see him urinating by the river.He sneakily found a hidden place, unbuttoned his belt and was about to urinate, when he raised his head and caught a glimpse of white inadvertently.

He was startled suddenly, he was so frightened that he had no desire to urinate, and looked in the direction just now, but this time he saw nothing.The deep black river flows slowly, with a gloomy glow, and the surroundings are silent.

Is it possible that you are dazzled?He broke out in a cold sweat, his hair stood on end, and his palms were dripping with sweat.The river rose up and then receded, as if trying to grab his feet.Da Chen Zhuang bravely turned on the water, put on his belt and hurried back to the store, hoping that it was really his eyes that were wrong.

Li Wugeng saw that he was walking as if a ghost was chasing him, so he asked casually, "It's like seeing a ghost in a hurry, why are you so afraid?"

Da Chen trembled and was about to say it, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of scaring Li Wugeng, so he swallowed the words again, pretending to be calm: "It's not that I'm rushing back to help, someone should come later." After all, I washed my hands and went to help.

Li Wugeng didn't take his words to heart. It's opening today, and I don't know how many people will come.In the past two years, people at the ferry have either brought their own dry food or eaten on the street. Although the government released the news of the lifting of the ban half a month ago, it is a question of whether everyone will come here to eat.

I didn't want to make too much money when I opened the new store, as long as I don't lose money in the past two months, the most important thing is to make a name for myself so that everyone in Longxing Town knows that there is such a store in Dukou.

The ferry welcomed the first group of people to cross the river this morning. Everyone talked and laughed with each other and got off the boat. Some people saw Li Wugeng's shop at a glance.

"Light the firecrackers." Li Wugeng said, the two of them waited all morning to be regarded as visitors, and the store officially opened when the firecrackers lighted.Da Chen nodded, blew on the firecracker to the firecrackers, and immediately stood aside covering his ears.

The firecrackers were ignited, and the ear-splitting sound of hissing and crackling spread across the ferry. Everyone looked at this side, and there were rolling mountains on the other side of the river, and the sound of firecrackers echoed continuously on the river.

"When did you open a store?" The woman in blue asked in surprise, staring at the plaque above the door - Quxi Mianzhuang.

It was built next to the Quxi River, so it was named Quxi Mianzhuang.

The woman who was walking with her also looked at the store curiously: "It seems to be selling wonton noodles, and I haven't had breakfast anyway, why don't you go in and have a look?"

The woman in blue hurriedly stopped her and persuaded her: "I think this store is well decorated, I'm afraid it's not cheap, at least it costs six or seven yuan a bowl, why not buy two steamed buns."

The woman who was traveling with her felt the same way when she heard it. Steamed buns cost a penny, and eating one can last a long time, so eating this is not worth it.

Others have the same idea as the woman in blue. The family is not well-off, so it is better to save money. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself at home, which is more worthwhile than here.

Li Wugeng and Da Chen were happily standing at the door waiting for them to come in, but everyone just glanced at them and didn't want to come in at all.The smile on Li Wugeng's face gradually disappeared, and there was no one...

But it's only now, it's still early, so wait and see.

"Fifth watch, this..." Da Chen didn't expect this to happen. There was a store like this in Dukou before, and the business was so busy back then that it was too busy. It's not like it is now.

Li Wugeng tightened his hands: "There are not many people, don't panic."

"Hey!" Da Chen replied, "Then I'll go get the ingredients first."

"Well, prepare a few more." Li Wugeng said, standing at the door and continuing to wait for the next group of people.

There were several boats on the river picking up people, and about two quarters of an hour later the boat docked again, and people disembarked one after another, this time two or three came in, and the others were watching.

One day later, there were only a dozen people who came to the store, and they all ordered the cheapest plain noodles. Li Wugeng couldn't help being a little discouraged. He was quite full of ambitions at first, but now he is very disappointed.

After school, Yun Shuzhi brought He Baoyun to the store, and saw Li Wugeng sitting face to face expressionlessly, with a strange expression on his face.

"Uncle." He Baoyun shouted, wrestling from Yun Shuzhi's arms, and hugged Li Wugeng's thigh affectionately.Li Wugeng patted his head, but said nothing.

"How is business?" Yun Shuzhi sat down next to him.

Li Wugeng murmured for a long time before saying: "Sold thirteen bowls..."

It's so bleak!Yun Shuzhi was obviously also very surprised, but he didn't show any reaction on his face, and said: "This year's one month's profit, the thirteen bowls have been exactly thirteen months, and the opening is very auspicious, and the moon is red, which is not a good sign!"

Li Wugen knew that he was comforting himself, so he raised his eyes and looked at him: "You can say it." A bowl of plain noodles for three renminbi can probably earn more than one renminbi after deducting the cost, and thirteen bowls can't even earn [-] renminbi. A busy day is not as good as his fortune telling.

"It's okay." Yun Shuzhi said softly, straightening his messy temple hair, pretending to lift up his robe, and raised his chin to look high above, "I have money, and I don't lack this."

Li Wugeng was amused by his funny appearance, and replied: "Yes, yes, Second Master Yun has a lot of money!"

Yun Shuzhi also had fun together with him, and after a while he collected his expression and said solemnly: "Master is hungry, hurry up and cook a bowl of wontons, and put more green onions."

He Baoyun looked at the two of them ignorantly, and told Li Wugeng imitatively: "Baoyun is also hungry, go and cook a bowl of wontons."

"Let's go!" Li Wugeng pinched He Baoyun's nose lightly. This little thing became weird after staying with Yun Shuzhi for a long time.

Fortunately, there are not many wontons wrapped today. It is still not hot in May, and the stuffing can be kept for two or three days. As for the skin, it is placed in a shaukei and covered with a damp cloth so that the dough will not harden.

The wonton skin is thin and the stuffing is big. After cooking, the skin becomes transparent, and the meat filling inside shows a light red color that appeals to the appetite. Li Wugeng boiled half a pot of bone soup early in the morning and scooped the wontons into the bed with a colander. In the sea bowl, add half a bowl of hot bone soup, add salt, and sprinkle with chopped green onion.

Four people sat around the table and ate together. Compared with Chaoshou, the wontons were smoother and more refreshing. One scooped one into the mouth, the mouth was full of meaty aroma.

He Baoyun seldom tasted such a delicacy, so he chewed it with his mouth covered, fearing that someone would snatch it from him.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Li Wugeng patted him lightly.

He Baoyun nodded obediently, but he didn't slow down at all.Da Chen couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yun Shuzhi glanced at him, Yintang was blacker than ink, yet he could still laugh.
