Yangcheng

When Tong Shaoxuan returned to Bailu Academy, he found that Tang's earlier business had gone to the students of the academy.

The students who did not live in the school building either came to the school with fried dough sticks, or had already bought and eaten them.

He even bought more than a dozen fritters and distributed them to his friends, who worked hard to help Tang Jianwei sell and sell them.

Tong Shaoxuan sat in front of the desk, and when he took out the scrolls, he was filled with the crunching sound of fried dough sticks and crazy comments about the beauty of fried dough sticks Xi Shi.

This woman is really powerful, Tong Shaoxuan couldn't help thinking, it's really amazing that she can sell such an oily fruit.

Everyone has not connected the two identities of "Fried Tiao Xishi" and "Tong Shaoxuan's wife", Ge Xunqing was about to say something, but Tong Shaoxuan took it down with a look——

If you still want me to help you deal with Mr. Kong, just shut up honestly.

Ge Xunqing's mouth was blocked quickly, and she was so uncomfortable that she picked up the book and began to read consciously.

The reputation of Tang's breakfast stall gradually spread in Su County, and the spread was amazing.

Some people come here to taste how delicious this popular Su County oily fruit is, and some people just want to taste the beauty of the fried dough stick Xishi, and see what this little lady who speaks Mandarin looks like. Known as "Xi Shi".

As the source of customers gradually expanded, Tang Jianwei's opening discounts also came to an end, and regular price sales began.

A deep-fried dough stick costs two pennies, and a set of deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk costs four pennies. The soy milk is not sold separately.

No matter how many fried dough sticks you buy, you will be charged two cents per stick, but if you buy a set, the second set will be sold at half price.

That is, two deep-fried dough sticks and two bowls of soy milk cost a total of [-] Wen.This is much more cost-effective than buying fritters alone.

What's more, fried dough sticks and soy milk are a perfect match, and eating together will add more flavor.

They wanted to eat anyway, so the acquaintances agreed to buy two sets together.As for the customers who come to buy alone, if they just grab someone in the queue or on the road to make up the order, the second set of Tang Jianwei will naturally be given half price to the other party.

If there is a large transaction and more than [-] sets are bought at one time, Tang Jianwei needs the other party to explain and pre-order one day in advance, and agree on the time to pick up the goods. She calculates the time and prepares the fried dough sticks in advance and prepares the soy milk. When the customer comes to pick up the goods, the fried dough sticks are still hot Crispy and the soy milk is still very hot.

The county government office was the customer of her first large transaction.

Hu Erlang, the servant of the county government, came to place the order yesterday, paid half of the money, ordered fifty sets, and set up a carriage to pick up the goods early this morning.

It turned out that the county government office in Su County was some distance away from Jingyang Fang, and everyone used to eat Liusao steamed stuffed buns at the gate of the government office.

Due to its superior location, the sixth sister-in-law's steamed stuffed bun shop is only her restaurant at the gate of the yamen, and the business is perfunctory.The bun was getting smaller and smaller with the naked eye, but the skin was getting thicker and thicker. A rough man like Hu Erlang swallowed it, but there was no meat filling.

Outrageous!

Hu Erlang took his brothers to argue with Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu's performance was first-rate:

"My buns are already the cheapest in Su County. Two buns for five cents, or meat buns. Where can I find them at such a price?"

Hu Erlang was indignant: "Your price is everywhere in Su County, and all the bun shops are like this! But their buns are thinner and more meaty than yours!" He took out the half-eaten buns for her to see, pointing to the buns The shop’s sign said, “Look for yourself! If it wasn’t for the steamed stuffed bun shop, I would have thought I was buying steamed buns! Where’s the meat! Can you see the meat?”

The sixth sister-in-law directly snatched the bun, broke it in half and came back, almost sticking it to Hu Erlang's eyeball:

"Are you blind? This is not meat!"

Hu Erlang was furious, he stretched out his hand and slapped the bun on the ground: "This is bun stuffing? Isn't it fly legs?!"

Sixth sister-in-law saw these officials blowing their beards and staring, and immediately sat on the ground and kicked her legs, shouting:

"Master Guan killed someone! Master Guan bullied me, a defenseless widow!"

Passers-by cast condemning glances one after another, making Hu Erlang blush.

How can there be such an unreasonable person!

From then on, Hu Erlang vowed never to eat steamed buns from Mrs. Liu's house again!

Don't eat even if you're starving!

The daughter of the county magistrate's family came to look for her the day before yesterday, Aye, holding a root oil fruit in her hand and eating it happily, which made Hu Erlang salivate, and couldn't help asking for advice:

"Miss Ge, what are you eating?"

Ge Xunqing said: "Uncle Hu hasn't eaten the deep-fried dough sticks Tang's made earlier?"

Hu Erlang shook his head: "I heard, but I haven't had time to taste it yet."

"That's just right. I'm here to deliver breakfast to Aye. I bought a few more. Would you like to try it?"

After Hu Erlang took a bite, he almost devoured the rest. Before he could wipe off the oil around his mouth, he immediately asked Ge Xunqing where the breakfast was.

Ge Xunqing told him that the early stall was at the gate of Jingyang Fang.

Hu Erlang shed tears.

Very good!Don't be angry with that sixth sister-in-law again!

I came to Tang's stall early and bought deep-fried dough sticks twice, and went back to the county government office to distribute them to my brothers. After eating, the servants all said that they were much better than sister-in-law Liu's steamed stuffed buns.

If everyone buys together, it only costs three pennies for a set, which is even cheaper than that unlucky bun.

Hu Erlang thought about it and bought it from Tang's earlier in the future.

Everyone raised their hands and feet in agreement.

When Hu Erlang came, Tang Jianwei had already prepared fifty sets and put them in a newly bought large wooden barrel. There were so many customers waiting in line that Tang Jianwei couldn't greet him, so he asked Hu Erlang to pick up the goods himself.

Hu Erlang lifted the lid of the bucket, and inside was covered with quilts to keep warm, fifty deep-fried dough sticks had been wrapped in cloth, and there was a small bucket filled with soy milk.He reached out and touched it, and it was still hot.

Hu Erlang will carry it on the car early, pay the balance, and give another thirty cash, saying that he will carry the soy milk bucket away: "Thirty cash is the money for your wooden bucket, and I will return the bucket in an hour. , ask you for money again!"

Tang Jianwei responded cheerfully while fishing for fried dough sticks: "Okay!"

Hu Erlang was about to drop the money and silver, Tang Jianwei pressed the switch, and with a "bang", the bucket popped out and unfolded just beside Hu Erlang's hand.

"This thing is quite novel." Hu Erlang saw that there was already a copper plate in it, so he knew its purpose, threw the money and silver into it, and praised Tang Jianwei, "I didn't expect Boss Tang to be an all-rounder, so I'm sorry."

Tang Jianwei said: "I didn't do this, it was my wife."

Hu Erlang was on errand, and he had to know everything about the entire Su county, so he naturally knew about Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan's engagement.

Seeing Tang Jianwei's proud appearance when he mentioned his wife, Hu Erlang, who has not yet married a wife, is very envious.

Hu Erlang couldn't hold back when he got into the carriage, his stomach screamed because of the smell of fifty fried dough sticks, he immediately took a fried dough stick and bit it in his mouth, chewing the fried dough stick while driving the carriage to the county government.

Speaking of which, it is not unreasonable for this oily fruit to be popular all over Su County.

Deliciousness is one thing, and more importantly, the oily fruit is easy to pick up.

People who come and go are running for their livelihoods, and time is very precious.

There are many people waiting for the early stall, but the oil pan is big, and each fried dough stick comes out of the pan quickly. A veteran like Boss Tang can put down a dozen of them at once, and they can be wrapped up and taken away after a few breaths of time. , Eating while walking.

As for the soy milk, you can drink it in a bowl at the breakfast stand, or you can bring a kettle with you, which is very convenient.

The fritters are made into the size of the mouth, and it is easy to eat.

Although it is an oily fruit, it won't make your mouth runny and your clothes dirty.

And the fried dough sticks are very full. For a middle-aged man like Hu Erlang, two fried dough sticks with a portion of soy milk can last until noon very smoothly.

The county government has ordered fifty sets every day, and the tea garden in the south of the city also called people over, and it must be another one hundred sets. Tang Jianwei gradually felt the pressure.

With the increase in popularity, more and more guests are waiting every morning, and the number of bulk reservations is increasing day by day, making more and more money, but it is also very busy.

After all, she is alone at this stage.

When the hour was about to pass, Tang Jianwei gradually closed the stall and returned home a little tired.

When I went back to the west courtyard, I found Zitan standing at the gate of the courtyard, beckoning to Tang Jian slightly.

"Sanniang, did the mistress of Tong's family assign servants for us?"

Tang Jian was slightly puzzled: "No."

"What's the matter with that little lady?" Zi Tan tilted her head, motioning her to look inside.

A chubby little lady was sitting on the top chair, facing a big basin, took out Tang Jianwei and the others' clothes one by one from the water in which the plant ash had been dissolved, beat them diligently and carefully with a pestle, and washed them wash.

Who is this not Qiu Xin?

That day Tang Jianwei used a piece of milk cake to warn her not to talk nonsense, but Qiu Xin didn't understand her warning at all, and remembered the delicious taste of the milk cake deeply.

Let’s not talk about it, I’m still an honest kid who wants to trade washing for food?

Qiu Xin heard the movement, turned her head and smiled excitedly: "Sister Tang, I'll be done washing soon! Just wait a moment!"

Qiu Xin's eyes were obviously not looking at a person, but at a large piece of milk pie, hungrily.

Tang Jianwei said to Zitan: "Help me get the milk cake box."

Zitan's whole body tensed up, thinking in his heart that something was wrong: It's over, Sanniang won't find out that I ate milk pancakes secretly, right?

Tang Jianwei saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, and gave her a puzzled look.

Zitan had no choice but to get it.

Opening the box, Tang Jian was slightly silent.

She remembered that when she stacked the milk cakes three days ago, the entire box was covered, but there was only an empty half box left in front of her eyes.

Tang Jianwei: "..."

Zitan immediately interceded: "San Niang, I was wrong! I ate it secretly! This milk pancake is so delicious, I couldn't hold back for a moment! I'll make it right now and add it back! Don't give birth to me Angry..."

When Qiu Xin heard the "milk cake" she was thinking about day and night, her saliva almost dripped down.

Tang Jian nodded slightly between her eyebrows: "I don't dare to eat what you cook. Who will go out to make money if you eat it? If you want to eat, just tell me, and I will make more. Why bother to sneak around? I didn't find it at all. Hiding Are you tired of hiding from me?"

Zitan saw that Tang Jianwei was not angry with her, and she was a little doting in her words, and became bolder in an instant. The guilt of stealing food was swept away, and she immediately hugged Tang Jianwei's arm, with a red light on her face:

"Tired! I'm so exhausted! Sanniang, you don't know how smart you are! It's not easy to avoid your piercing eyes! Every time I wait for you to go out to the stall, I dare to steal one, and it's special I'm worried, I'm afraid that if you come back suddenly in the middle, you will be caught by you!"

"See how promising you are." Tang Jianwei waved to Qiu Xin, "Come here."

Qiu Xin scrubbed her hands quickly: "Wait a minute, it will be ready soon!"

"Let's put it there first, come over and have some snacks and then wash, it's okay."

"No! If I don't finish washing, how can I eat Sister Tang's food? Since I was a child, my mistress taught me not to be idle and lazy and receive rewards for nothing! Soon, I will wash it right away!"

Qiu Xin said so, but her neck stretched so long that she forgot to blink when she stared at the milk pancake box.

Tang Jianwei fed a piece of red sandalwood cake, and then fed Qiu Xin another piece. Qiu Xin tasted the sweet scent of frankincense that she could never forget, and her hands became more energetic.

"Slow down..." Tang Jianwei was worried about his clothes, don't rub them for me.

Qiuxin and Zitan hugged the milk cake box, sitting on the steps, you and I, and soon the box bottomed out.

"Sister Tang's pancakes are really delicious..." Qiu Xin covered her mouth and hiccupped lightly, "I don't know when will be the next time I can eat her pancakes."

Zitan said: "Our San Niang not only makes milk cakes, but also makes any food delicious!"

"Really?" Qiu Xin asked impatiently, "What else did she cook?!"

"In the past, Sanniang opened a restaurant in Boling, and there are all kinds of dishes that she can't cook!"

"Then have you eaten all of them?"

Zitan proudly puffed out her chest: "Naturally!"

Qiu Xin let out a "wow", envious.

The two were chatting when they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. The two of them sat up straight immediately, and all their attention was focused on the tip of their noses, trying to immediately identify what kind of food the fragrance was emanating from.

"This is egg fragrance..."

"This is milk fragrance..."

"Eggs and milk!"

Tang Jianwei and Tang Guanqiu appeared behind them holding a large food bowl: "Come and try the egg rolls."

"Egg rolls?!" Even Zitan saw egg rolls for the first time.

The egg rolls look bright yellow like eggs, but they look like rolled crispy pancakes. They are hollow cylinders, one palm long, and black sesame seeds are evenly sprinkled on them.

Zitan has followed Tang Jianwei for many years, and has indeed eaten a lot of food made by her, but every time she sees something new made by her, she is still very excited.

"Come and see how it tastes."

Zitan and Qiu Xin held an egg roll, took a bite together, chewed together, and pondered together, thinking about what kind of delicious food they ate again.

"How is it, is it delicious?" Tang Jianwei asked them both.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Zitan wished to spit out a thousand "delicious" in one go.

"You're exaggerating." Tang Jian said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't punish you for stealing food."

"It's really delicious!" Qiu Xin actually ate up a whole egg roll, and she didn't even want to throw away the crumbs she picked up in her hand. Speech and lisp agreed with Zitan's words,

"I've never had such a good snack! San Niang, I have a heartfelt request, I hope you can agree."

Tang Jianwei understood what she was going to say: "As you can see, Zitan is the only person here. If you are willing to come and help, I am very welcome. I make some snacks and snacks every day. Basically, I want to Do whatever you want. You come to our west courtyard to help, you can eat whatever you want, and if you like, you can also share dinner with us."

Qiu Xin almost lifted off on the spot: "Really!"

Tang Jianwei felt a little sympathetic to the children in this yard who were suffocated by pickles: "Of course it's true."

As if afraid of Tang Jianwei's repentance, Qiu Xin quickly complied, and made an appointment with her to continue to come over to help with work starting tomorrow.

After eating the egg rolls, Qiu Xin went to wash Tang Jianwei's wooden bucket of soy milk, asked her what to do with the oil pan, helped her pump out all the oil, and then cleaned the entire cart.

Tang Jianwei was very satisfied with the oil stains that were originally attached to the car body.

It can be seen that Qiu Xin is not very old, and she is really agile in her work.

Tang Jianwei liked Qiu Xin very much, and hoped that she would come to help more. In this way, maybe Zitan could go out with her and earn double the money in the morning.

"Qiu Xin is the son of a slave. She was born in Tongfu. She has been doing a good job since she was a child. She is much better than that Ji Xue."

After Qiu Xin left, Zitan broke off a piece of the egg roll, and when feeding Tang Guanqiu, she told Tang Jianwei about Qiu Xin.

It was quite normal at first, but at the end he added a sarcasm to Ji Xue, Tang Jianwei was interested while grinding soybean milk with a small stone, and asked Zitan:

"What's the matter, what's wrong with you and Ji Xue? You smear her like this."

"No, it's not over at all, she doesn't need me to wipe it off, it's already black!"

Zitan was really angry, as soon as Ji Xue was mentioned, he wished to pour out a pot of ink immediately.

"I think she is very pale, as pale as that Tong Shaoxuan." Tang Jianwei deliberately teased Zitan.

Zitan said angrily: "She is black! Heart is black!"

"What happened? Did Ji Xue bully you?"

"How could I be bullied by her!" Zitan argued vigorously, "I was confronting her tit for tat!"

This is also quite strange, Tang Jianweigang and Tong Shaoxuan approached Maimang with needles, Zitan and Ji Xue pinched each other again.

Tang Jianwei was quite curious: "Why are you and Ji Xue fighting against each other? Tell me."

Zitan then told Tang Jianwei about the fight with Ji Xue at the pharmacy that day.

Two days ago, Tang Jianwei asked Zitan to go to the pharmacy to buy some cistanche.Cistanche can be easily bought in various pharmacies in Boling. Unexpectedly, the supply in a small southeast county is scarce. It is hard to find a few taels of red sandalwood after going to two places.

Just as he was about to ask the store to pack and take them all away, Ji Xue came and wanted cistanche.

The store owner seems to know Ji Xue, a bit confused: "Miss Ji Xue, this little lady wants it first."

Zitan naturally knew that Ji Xue was Tong Shaoxuan's maid, so she gave the money more decisively, and was about to leave after taking the medicine.

Ji Xue stopped her and said: "Miss Red Sandalwood, I have been buying cistanche here all the time. Cistanche is a very important medicine in our Si Niang's prescription, and it is indispensable. Can you ask Miss Red Sandalwood to part with me and share some with me? I can give you silver."

Zitan felt that this person was unreasonable: "Your fourth mother needs it, and my third mother also wants it. You have to tell me first come, first served. If I share it with you, how can I go back and explain to my wife?"

Neither of them is a kind and good-tempered person, and they quickly quarrel when they come and go.

Zitan was born with great strength, and she also learned some legwork from Tang Jianwei, if she wasn't afraid of causing trouble, she really wanted to punch her in the face, so that her unforgiving mouth would be completely shut.

"Just for this?" Tang Jianwei asked, "Then did you make a move in the end?"

"I'm stupid, how could I cause trouble outside? Of course I didn't do anything in the end, otherwise I would have punched that little bitch who was as thin as a monkey? what should I do? Don’t worry, I ran away with the cistanche in my arms, and I didn’t let her snatch a cent of it!”

Tang Jianwei touched Zitan's head: "After all, we Zitan have grown up and become sensible, but there is something I want to tell you."

Rosewood: "?"

"The cistanche was bought for Tong Shaoxuan's medicinal diet."

Zitan: "...No. You mean, you have to cook the Cistanche before sending it over?"

Tang Jianwei didn't mean to be joking at all, and nodded seriously: "I asked the mistress of the Tong family for the prescription prescribed by the doctor for Tong Shaoxuan, only then did I know that Tong Shaoxuan had already reached the end, Tiangui still hadn't arrived, and his strength was weak. It is a symptom of the imbalance of warmth, the decline of the fire in the door of life, and the loss of the next yuan. I thought about using cistanche as medicine, adding peony, peony, scutellaria baicalensis, peach kernel and other medicines to make a soup to help her urge her menstruation. Not good The entrance, but it is not as unpalatable as medicine."

Zitan: "...so you are all for her, then I am a complete fool?!"

"It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to you at the beginning. Sister Zitan, don't be angry with me."

Sanniang is coaxing like this, Zitan has the nerve to say something else:

"Since San Niang, you have already made up your mind, I will take care of everything for you. Stay overnight at someone's house, don't offend people."

"Borrowing is one, and the other important reason is that our Tang family owes the Tong family, and now I have repaid the debt."

"So Sanniang, the reason you care about the Tong family these days is because you felt guilty about regretting your marriage, do you want to make it up to them?"

Tang Jian nodded slightly.

Zitan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, I thought..."

Tang Jianwei: "What do you think?"

Zitan grinned: "I thought you really fell in love with that Tong Siniang."

“How come you see?”

"Besides making delicious food for them, you don't know how happy you are smiling every time you meet that Tong Shaoxuan!"

"Have it?"

"Yes! I haven't seen you so happy for a long time since the accident between the gentleman and the lady."

Are you happy...

Tang Jianwei thought for a while, and said to Zitan:

"Don't worry, when the soup is ready, I'll deliver it myself." Tang Jianwei bumped her shoulder, "I won't let you be wronged."

Zitan quickly regained her spirits: "There is no grievance, as long as Sanniang is living well, I will live well. Not to mention how many people in this world can eat the delicacies cooked by Sanniang every day? I am so happy very!"

The master and servant were very affectionate, and Tang Guanqiu sat aside, holding an egg roll in his hand and hadn't eaten for a while.

She put the unfinished egg roll back on the plate, opened the purse, poured out all the candies, picked up one of them, rolled up the beautiful glazed paper outside, put the candy in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

While tasting, carefully count the remaining candies.

Eleven, twelve, thirteen...

Tang Guanqiu was very happy.

There are still thirteen days, and Shen Yue will be back.

……

There is one more street, and Tong Shaoxuan is about to walk to the gate of Jingyang Fang.

The restored little sheep followed behind her, and the students were all guessing how delicious Tong Shaoxuan would eat after returning home today.

"The day before yesterday was crucian carp ginger and orange soup, and yesterday was mutton Eucommia soup, all of which are good recipes for warming the middle and dispelling cold, nourishing the middle and nourishing qi. I don't know what it is today."

These dinner menus were all forcibly pried out of Tong Shaoxuan's mouth.

"Tang Sanniang really put in a lot of work. She cared so much for you before she really got through the door. Long Si, I really envy you!"

Headed by Ge Xunqing, this group of classmates envied Tong Shaoxuan's ears according to three meals a day, chanting about Tang Jianwei's goodness like a car wheel, so that Tong Shaoxuan's ears were almost callused.

However, the meals in the past few days have been really good. Tang Jianwei will deliver a dish or soup every night, which is completely different from the home chef's, delicious and healthy.

There were more than 20 steps away from the gate of Jingyangfang, Tong Shaoxuan bid farewell to his classmates, and hurried home, the little sheep followed behind him.

Ge Xunqing: "Hey, the delicious food made by my sister-in-law can make Changsi, who has been immobile for ten thousand years, run away. Changsi, how dare you say that you don't like the dishes made by sister-in-law?"

While speaking, Tong Shaoxuan had already arrived at the entrance of the workshop, and was about to enter the workshop with his skirt in hand, he turned his head and snorted to Ge Xunqing:

"Who is as useless as you!"

After finishing speaking, he slowed down his footsteps, pretending not to care about dinner at all.

The little sheep was stuck at the entrance of the square, rushed back and forth, backed and rushed, clumsily back and forth in place.

Tong Shaoxuan came back and picked it up. After crossing the threshold, he put down the little sheep and walked calmly in the direction of Tong's mansion.

After confirming that he was out of the sight range of Ge Xunqing and others, Tong Shaoxuan immediately picked up the little sheep again, ignoring the weight of the little sheep, walking like flying, and galloping home with excitement——

Let me see what delicious food Tang Jianwei cooked tonight!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: Set a small goal for yourself, and win the hearts of everyone in Tongfu.

Tong Shaoxuan: Every day there are people who are really fragrant, but mine is really fragrant, really delicious! (coma
