I opened a restaurant in ancient times

"Then... that's fine, give me one." With the mentality of not taking advantage of the bastard, Chen Xiaoniu asked for one, anyway, it would only be more expensive to buy elsewhere.

As long as this one is not too bad, he will bear it even for these two pennies.

People who work as laborers have always had little money. His family can be regarded as a poor family in Zhilan Town, and the money they earn from working at the wharf every day can barely cover the expenses of the family.

In the past, the coolie workers at the wharf brought food at home, and only occasionally came back to Beishi to buy some other food to taste with their families.

On weekdays, my mother would not be willing to let him spend ten cents to buy food, but in the past few days, it is the money of passing passengers.

Chen Xiaoniu wanted to reward himself for making money so hard, so he wanted to go to Beishi to buy some food, and happened to come across this newly opened stall, which was actually two pennies cheaper.

Zhao Heng quickly turned on the fire to make cakes, and asked him, "Guest officer, do you want chili?"

"Chili?" Chen Xiaoniu knows chili, and after eating the red fruit that hurts his stomach, there are also some people who like it very much. He can't stand the whole yard at home.Chen Xiaoniu hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No chili, no chili."

Zhao Heng nodded without explaining. Anyway, there will still be opportunities in the future to let them know the deliciousness of chili, so there is no need to rush.

Fresh lettuce was sandwiched into the pancakes. There wasn't much lettuce in it. After washing it, he tied it into two small bundles, and handed the rolled pancakes to Chen Xiaoniu.The tangy aroma whetted Chen Xiaoniu's appetite, and he couldn't wait to pick it up and bite down.

The crispy pastry and the fragrance of green vegetables are just in harmony, and the drowsiness in the morning subsides instantly after taking a bite of the pancake. Chen Xiaoniu is a strong and healthy young man, and he finished one in a few bites. He wiped the oil on his lips and said loudly Said: "One more!"

Zhao Heng replied loudly: "Okay!"

People passing by around were startled by Chen Xiaoniu's angry voice, and complained softly: "Why is it so loud?"

"It's annoying, making noise on the road early in the morning!"

A young man was holding a basket and muttering something in a low voice. When he came back to his senses, he unconsciously approached Zhao Heng's stall and stretched his neck to see the movements in Zhao Heng's hands: "Hey, boss, what kind of cakes are you selling?"

Before Zhao Heng could speak, Chen Xiaoniu answered him: "The boss said that this is a kind of cake made by foreigners, called finger cake."

Zhao Heng raised his head to see, the boy should be a little brother, with a little red mole between his eyebrows, and he was carrying a half-worn basket.

He quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, this hand pancake is the only one in Zhilan Town, and there is no other place! Can you try it, sir?"

The boy waved his hand and took a step back: "Wait a while."

He still wanted to see if the finger cakes were really that delicious, and he would buy them after the big man in front of him bought them.If it's delicious, it's fine for him to wait for a while, but if it's not delicious, it's because this big man suffered a loss by spending money and can't blame others.

With this mentality in mind, he stood aside and watched Zhao Heng make cakes, and he was not busy shopping for vegetables anymore, he took a step back and was now not far behind the big man.

It didn't take long for Zhao Heng to make a new pancake. Chen Xiaoniu couldn't wait to take it. The fresh hand pancake was very hot. He shrank suddenly and took a clean handkerchief to wrap the pancake. stand up.

His mother has never eaten this, take it home and let her taste it!

Zhao Heng was supposed to charge him sixteen coins, but in the end he gave him a change and only charged fifteen coins.

Chen Xiaoniu thanked him, and promised: "I'll tell my neighbors and friends when I go back, and I'll get you more business!"

"it is good!"

Chen Xiaoniu's attitude aroused the young man's curiosity, and he couldn't help wondering: Is it really that good, or is it that the strong man thinks that everything is delicious because of his ignorance?

Probably because Chen Xiaoniu's voice was too loud just now, people passing by all looked over curiously, it was the free time before the wharf laborers went to work.

Like Chen Xiaoniu, they came to Beishi together, and finally earned some money, so they had to buy something for the family, whether it was oil, salt, sauce, vinegar or rice noodles, even if it was just something fresh to bring back for the children at home, it would be good.

Several young men were holding something more or less in their hands. They saw Chen Xiaoniu from a long distance away, walked over a few steps, and patted him on the shoulder to say hello: "Xiaoniu, what are you doing here?"

Chen Xiaoniu came back to his senses, and said to the man who patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll bring some food back for my mother, this is quite delicious."

The young man tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Heng's stall: "This stall is new, I haven't seen it before."

Zhao Heng kept moving his hands, and said to the young man, "It's newly opened, and the pancakes will be two pennies cheaper for the first ten customers."

"Really, then what kind of cake is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" The young man looked at the movements of Zhao Heng's hands, which were different from those of other stalls in his memory.

Zhao Hengdao: "I learned it from other places. There is only my family in Zhilan Town, and there is nothing else."

Chen Xiaoniu also helped and said: "Yes, I just ate a pancake, and it was delicious, much better than my grandmother's! No, I bought another pancake and brought it home for my grandmother to eat. I If you have a child, you must take him to eat often!"

The young man was hesitant, thinking of his son, who hadn’t eaten anything good until he was five or six years old. He was always envious when he saw other children in the village eating sweets and snacks. He was sensible and never reached out to ask for food from home. .You have earned some money in the past few days, buy some good ones for your children to try!

"That's fine, do it for me..." He hesitated, thinking of his wife, "Two."

Zhao Heng agreed straight away, "Okay, just wait a moment and it will be ready soon."

The boy who stood beside him for a while couldn't help but said, "Make one for me too."

"it is good."

In June, it was muggy even without the sun, and there was no wind around. Zhao Heng hadn't rested much since he arrived in Beishi in the morning, and now he started to work again, surrounded by a group of people waiting for him to make hand pancakes. .

There was a thin layer of sweat on his head, but his hands kept busy, and it was ready within a few minutes. After handing the cake to the young man, Zhao Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and then started to do the work of the young man again.

Chen Xiaoniu and that young man lived in the same village, and their family conditions were not very rich. They often came to the town as companions to work as laborers. At this time, they took the pancakes and put them away, and hurried home.

There are a lot of laborers working on the docks today, and they won’t be able to earn a few pennies any more, so they are not obsessed with being laborers at the docks. Anyway, they still have a field at home, right?No matter how bad it is, I will go to those wealthy masters' homes to do small labor. I will never starve to death these days.

The two walked around Beishi again, and went back to the village together after shopping.

The boy had been waiting for a long time from the beginning, sweating all over his body, and he couldn't help urging: "Can you do it faster? It's too hot today."

Zhao Heng also felt that it was too hot here, at least over 30 degrees.

After a while, I will go back after buying all the noodles I brought. If I stay for a long time, I will suffer from heat stroke.In this backward era, no matter what kind of disease you get, you may not be able to survive it.

Zhao Heng has always cherished his life and never did anything that would harm his health. His former friends joked that Zhao Heng was a health expert.Even if he is in ancient times at this time, he will cherish his body well.

After making the pancakes, the young man paid for the pancakes and put them in a basket. He carried the basket for a while and walked away.

After he finished making these finger cakes and sent away the last batch of guests, he took a deep breath.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head, bent down to look at Zhao Haha in the corner, it was so small, and it was such a hot day, Zhao Hengsheng was afraid that it would suffer from dehydration.

When he was at home, he used a wooden kettle to hold some warm water, so he quickly took it out from the interlayer and poured some water into Zhao Haha's drinking basin.

It was a bamboo jar lid, and the small one was just right for Zhao Haha. When Zhao Heng found it in the kitchen, he was very happy to show it to Zhao Haha. Zhao Haha was also very satisfied, and often used it to drink water.

Zhao Haha stayed in the shadow of the corner of the cart, huddled up in a small ball, if it wasn't for the abundant light here, Zhao Heng would hardly even be able to see it, the pup almost merged with the darkness.

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand and lifted Zhao Haha out of the bottom, and placed it next to the lid of the drinking jar. Zhao Haha poked his head out, sticking out his pink tongue to drink water.

Seeing that Zhao Haha's vitality was tenacious and nothing happened, Zhao Heng felt relieved and drank a few sips of water.

Since the sun came out, the number of people around has gradually decreased, and only the merchants are still there.

Zhao Heng thought for a while, and felt that he shouldn't sell pancakes in such a hot weather. They are also hot when he makes them himself, and the mouths of customers are also hot when they eat. Of course, some people like to eat noodles and pancakes, but most people prefer to eat in such a hot place. Eat something else on a hot day.

He started to pack his things, ready to come back the next day.Anyway, I didn't bring many things with me today, and I'm almost done shopping now.

If someone comes again, there will be no raw materials. Instead of staying here, it is better to go back and think about what to do that will be more popular.

He thinks that cold noodle cold noodle may be more popular in summer, and after making money, he can still sell all kinds of cakes, and it would be even better to add various soups in the future.

When the money earned from setting up a stall is enough, you can rent a storefront in the town. At that time, whether it is winter or summer, it will not be as difficult as it is now.

After Zhao Heng packed his things, he pushed the cart and stopped at a grain store not far away.He carried Zhao Haha into the store.

The shopkeeper originally thought that no one would come to Beishi in such a hot weather, so he was a little idle, lying on the table chatting with Xiao Er.

"Why is it so hot this year? If it doesn't rain in a few days, it's time to water the fields."

"Yeah, if only there was ice somewhere!"

"Isn't it? It's so hot that people have no appetite to eat..."

Xiaoer originally wanted to have a chat with the shopkeeper, but when he looked up, he saw Zhao Heng holding the puppy and was going in, so he hurriedly got up to meet him, and greeted him: "Guest officer, what do you want? We have all kinds of food here. They were all new last year.”

"Well, I'll take a look first."

When he first came in, he heard the shopkeeper talking to Xiao Er about the ice, and thought, if he brought some ice when selling food, the sales would be even greater.
