I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Everyone gasped.

"Twenty Wen? So expensive!"

"Enough for the whole family to eat a big pot of soup cakes."

Just now he wanted to try something new, so he immediately dismissed the idea.

Si Nan pointed to a deep bowl next to it, and said with a smile, "Twenty cents, six meat and eight vegetables, filling this bowl is enough for the whole family to eat."

Everyone still shook their heads.

In this era, fifteen renminbi can buy a large portion of meat dishes, and one tael of silver can buy a small banquet. Twenty renminbi is really not a small sum.

There were many rambunctious idlers in the crowd, yelling——

"Boy, you can't just ask for a big price with your eyes open, you have to let your brothers see if it's worth it!"

"Isn't that right, which businessmen on this street are not allowed to visit the pier first?"

"Brother, don't be stingy, my brothers will help you taste the taste, and you can drink it for you when you are satisfied, right?"

"..."

Most of the booers are local hooligans, who can get involved with all kinds of religions and minorities. They don't have great skills, but they take advantage of small advantages.Most of the vendors on this street are farmers from the outskirts of the city.

Si Nan didn't want to get used to their problems.

He smiled unabated, randomly picked up a few pieces of meat and vegetables and threw them into the pot, and added a few long pieces of firewood to the bottom of the stove.

Not long after, the soup in the pot boiled, and the delicious smell wafted away, and the onlookers swallowed hard.

Especially those who booed, with smug eyes, just waiting for Sinan to hand it to him respectfully.

Si Nan glanced at them with a half-smile, and the other party immediately showed a bit of fierceness.

Si Nan raised his eyebrows, and took a long-handled colander and took a full spoonful. The meat slices were fresh and thin, and the shredded vegetables were fragrant and crisp, exuding a steaming aroma.

Some people can't help but gather around, waiting to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Si Nan shook his hand, and a spoon full of vegetables fell to the ground.

The yellow dog on the street barked and rushed over, swallowing it in two bites.

The gangsters' expressions changed, and there was malice in their eyes.

Ordinary people looked nervous, looking at Sinan with sympathy or worry.

Si Nan didn't panic at all, and said slowly: "Look, only animals eat free food, how can I insult you like this?"

Punks: ...

How do people accept this?

If you eat for free, you are a beast; if you pay for it, you can't swallow it.

The leading gangster was called Boss Lai, and he subdued the gangsters in the whole street by relying on his tendons.Seeing that Si Nan was so innocent, he thought he was a bully, and he would make trouble with his fists.

Si Nan immediately pulled out a kitchen knife, skillfully swung the knife, and chopped it on the cutting board with a bang.

The thick jujube wood pier cracked in two.

Boss Lai paused, his face uncertain.

The little brothers shouted: "Brother Lai Zi, this little boy is shameless, let him taste your fist!"

Boss Lai couldn't stand the pressure, and he was about to smash the stall with his fist.

At this moment, a man in a red dress came striding forward, and when he passed by Boss Lai, he poked him with a bow.

Seeing that it was useless, Boss Lai fell into the mud and almost fell on the yellow dog.

The yellow dog barked and ran away in disgust.

Boss Lai was furious and yelled: "Who pushed you——Grandpa, how are you?"

puff--

Si Nan couldn't hold back and smiled.

Tang Xuan crossed his arms and said lightly: "Don't bark, I don't have such a shameless grandson like you."

Boss Lai choked, his face turned pale.

Not convinced?

That also has to hold back.

Even if you have never met Tang Xuan, you have heard of the bow on his body. Let alone him, all the bandits and thieves in the capital will tremble when they see it!

Boss Lai didn't dare to stay longer, saluted hastily, and ran away scrambling.

A certain younger brother yelled unconvinced: "Brother Lai Zi, why are we so afraid of that little boy?"

Boss Lai slapped him on the face, "Idiot, don't push me if you can!"

The little brother was wronged, "Brother Lai Zi, you, you beat your brother because he is handsome?"

The younger brother tugged at his sleeve in a hurry, "Shut up! Use your head to think about it, you can carry a black iron bow that weighs two stones back and forth on Bianjing Street, we can afford it?"

The younger brother stared wide-eyed, Xuan Tie Gong?Two stones? !

"Grandpa Heaven!"

"Run!"

A group of gangsters didn't even dare to look back, Sa Yazi rushed forward, for fear that if he slowed down, he would be shot down by Tang Xuan.

Not only the gangsters ran away, but the rest of the people also avoided.Nothing else, Tang Xuan is too tall, has an unbelievably handsome face, and is still sitting on the floor coldly, which is scary.

Si Nan was not afraid, and looked at him with a smile, "Master Jun, would you like a small hot pot?"

"If you don't come, just take a look."

Si Nan smiled, "Okay, then I'll play a trick for you, you can watch it."

As he spoke, he grabbed a bowl full of meat and vegetables and dunked them into the small pot, his movements were so fast that it seemed that only afterimages could be seen.

Tang Xuan's attention was originally on that weird-looking tricycle, seeing this situation, he raised his eyebrows with great interest.

Sinan performed it again with great dedication.

Tang Xuan said calmly: "Six slices of mutton, six pieces of chicken breast, six mushrooms, and two taels of each of the six seasonal vegetables."

Very positive tone.

Sinan snapped his fingers, "Good eyesight."

A very simple compliment, compared with the various pursuits in the officialdom, it can be called simple, but Tang Xuan is very useful.

This little man is full of heart and soul when he looks at it, but when he looks at those dark eyes, he makes you feel extremely sincere.

It was the first time he had met such a special person.

Put the meat and vegetables into the pot, and they will be cooked in a while.

Si Nan served it quickly and put it in a large bowl, "Eat it while it's hot, and return the bowl when you're free."

Tang Xuan paused for a moment, but still accepted.

Seeing him take out the money, Sinan smiled and said, "No need, it's a gift of thanks."

Tang Xuan didn't answer, raised his hand and threw it into the ampoule on the front of the car, no more, no less, exactly twenty pieces.

Si Nan smiled, "You are so kind."

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "I just don't want to be a 'beast'."

Simon: ...

It wasn't until Tang Xuan walked away that he remembered that he hadn't paid back the "one penny" this time.

Come on, let's talk about it next time.

In this way, I can see one more time, and I am a little happy when I think about it.

Si Nan hummed a song and continued cooking the small hot pot.

After such a release, the onlookers dispersed, and the second copy was not sold for a long time.

It would be a lie to say that there is no setback, Sinan allowed himself to be a little lost for three seconds, then regained his energy, cooked a spicy pot by himself, and ate it with a big bowl.

While eating, I took the big cattail fan that lit the fire and fanned it towards the street.

The shopkeeper next to him quietly swallowed his saliva. If it weren't for the fact that there were three dolls to raise at home, he couldn't help but pay for it.

Just fanning the wind is not counted, there is also a performance.

"So spicy, so spicy..."

"Tsk tsk, it's fun!"

"In this weather, you should eat a bowl of spicy pot, sweat all over, and relax!"

In fact, it is not spicy. The spiciness made by Jun Jiang and Zhuyu is different from authentic chili. If you want to bluff people, you must rely on acting skills.

Soon, passers-by were attracted and asked for a bowl.

Si Nan saw that the other party was an old man with gray hair, and said very generously: "[-]% off for the elderly and children, and [-] cash for the benefit."

Although there were only two pennies missing, the old man was very happy and cheerfully added an extra.

Two small hot pots, excluding the cost of the bottom of the pot, firewood, and ingredients, make a net profit of ten cents.

Earning five cents a piece is really not much, just hard money.

In fact, if Sinan was more unscrupulous, and the meat was bought overnight, and the quality of the vegetables and mushrooms was even worse, he could earn at least ten cents a serving.

He didn't want to do that.

In modern times, his father grew up step by step from a Malatang stall.

At the beginning, Malatang had just become popular in the small northern town where he lived. There were at least six or seven stalls on one street. No matter how low others' prices were, their stalls alone were the hottest.

The only difference between Dad Si and others is that the ingredients are fresh. If the meat is not sold out on the same day, it will never be used the next day. The roots and wilted parts of the vegetables will be cut off, and they will never make customers feel bad for saving a little bit. experience.

As a result, more and more repeat customers came to their family, and it slowly expanded from a snack to a hot pot city with dozens of employees.

Even though it has become bigger, Si's father still sits in the back kitchen in person, and his insistence on ingredients has never changed.He often said: "What we sell is a conscience."

Si Nan brought this "conscience" to Da Song.

After that, several copies were sold one after another, and the bottom of the bottle was covered with new and old copper coins.

Mrs. Liu specially brought Niu Niu over, and ordered a delicious fish pot and a sweet red date pot.Speaking of which, the jujube used to boil the bottom of the pot was still sent by her.

Sinan knew that she was here to take care of the business, so he didn't say that he didn't want money, but just put more meat in, and cooked a portion of Niuniu's favorite meatballs separately.

Seeing his quick movements, Liu was secretly amazed.

A few days ago, I heard that Sinan was going to open a food stall. Not only her, but everyone in the Tea Soup Alley couldn't believe it. How could such a white and clean person know how to cook?It is good not to burn the stove.

There are even people like Hu, who secretly wait to see a joke.

Unexpectedly, Sinan was so proficient in handling a knife, a large bowl of meat and vegetables was full, and his saliva flowed down before eating.

Liu was surprised, "Brother Nan, when did you learn such a skill?"

"I used to be the chef who stole from the back of my restaurant. You know, my father never wanted me to do this, so he didn't dare to show it off in front of people." This is what Sinan thought of early on.

Mrs. Liu didn't doubt it, but nodded in satisfaction, "You must have followed the Si magistrate with your skills."

In the beginning, Si Xu started as a small vegetable cutter in the louver, and later opened a big restaurant by himself.

Si Nan packed it up for her, tied meatballs on bamboo sticks and handed them to Niu Niu, "The pretty lady only accepts [-] cents."

Niu Niu took the meatball skewer and hid shyly behind Mrs. Liu, only showing a pair of watery eyes, bent sweetly.

Children are the most sensitive, if you treat her better, she will repay you with a pure heart.

Mrs. Liu ding ding dong dong threw a handful of money.

Si Nan didn't need to count, he knew how much it was just by listening to it - this was practiced when he set up a stall with Si's father in the past, and coins were popular at that time - a total of fifty coins, including the money for the meatballs.

Si Nan smiled, "You are too polite."

Liu Shiyu said earnestly: "Work hard, there will always be a day when you turn around."

Si Nan held his hand, "Borrow auspicious words from my aunt."

"Hurry up, I won't delay you." Mrs. Liu pulled Niuniu and left with a smile on her face.

She is the most low-key person on weekdays, and now she greeted the soldiers patrolling the city abnormally, and specifically mentioned that she bought a meal from Sinan.

Most of these patrolling soldiers used to be her husband's subordinates. I heard that she knew Si Nan very well, so she would take care of them more or less.

Si Nan remembered this favor.

In the private room of the fan building, Mu Qing and Lin Zhen looked at Tang Xuan from left to right, with indescribable expressions.

Tang Xuan was not affected by those two scorching gazes at all, he picked up a piece of mutton leisurely, and ate it with gusto.

Mu Qing: "Ermu, you said that the boss is to take care of the descendants of Senior Yue, right?"

Lin Zhen: "Yes."

Mu Qing: "You're definitely not confused by that kid's smirk, right?"

Lin Zhen: "Yes."

Mu Qing: "He will still treat us to a big meal, right?"

Lin Zhen: "..."

Not sure about this.

Tang Xuan pushed the bowl forward, "Taste it."

Mu Qing turned his face away.

You stingy boss, don't even think about dismissing me with a mere bowl of street food!

Lin Zhen struggled for a moment, picked up a meatball and stuffed it into Mu Qing's mouth.

Mu Qing originally wanted to spit it out, but was frightened by Tang Xuan's eyes, chewed it carelessly, and then...

God, it smells so good!

If you don’t eat ten bowls, it’s not finished!
