Seed dealers in ancient times

"Fifty renminbi, count it clearly, don't come here to make a fuss if you have to pay the number."

A group of shirtless men are forming a circle by the pier, inside is a middle-aged man in a long gown, holding an account book in his hand.

Zheng Jiang stopped far away, although he couldn't hear what he was saying, but seeing the sweaty man coming out of the crowd and counting the money, he probably guessed that he was paying the bill.

He saw a thin man among them was wiping his face with a sweat towel on his shoulders, his face was very familiar, and upon closer inspection, he turned out to be Fu Yuezhai's Zhang Fu.

When he was working in Fuyue Zhai, this kid often worked under his hands, and he told him about many twists and turns in the restaurant, and the two of them were very familiar with each other.

He remembered that Zhang Fu didn't speak much to the outside world. Although he was unknown in Fuyuezhai, he was diligent and frugal, and was rarely scolded by the manager.

"Zhang Fu, I just said that you are not suitable to come to the wharf to do these hard jobs. Not everyone can eat this kind of food. You said how good it is for you to be a waiter in a big restaurant, and you can get your money safely. Why don't you take good care of it?"

Zheng Jiang stopped just as he was about to go up to say hello to Zhang Fu, when suddenly a square face came up and hooked Zhang Fu's shoulder fiercely.

The two looked about the same age, but they were not as handsome as Zhang Fu with their dark faces, and they kept talking with their tongues out regardless of Zhang Fu's complexion: "My mother always praised you for being able to work in a big restaurant. Light work, no, I still come to the pier. By the way, how is your mother? I heard that my mother had a cough a few years ago, and it is still not cured. Can this disease be cured?"

"Old Yu in the alley next door to us, that cripple, you remember, he was coughing all the time, he coughed up blood, and now there are funerals at home..."

Hearing that Zhang Fu, who had never spoken, couldn't help but interrupt him: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lentouqing was startled by Zhang Fu's attitude: "What can I mean, isn't it just caring about your mother? What are you doing!"

"My mother caught some wind and cold a few years ago, and she will be fine soon, so don't worry about it!"

"Who's suffering from the cold for so long? I don't think it's tuberculosis! Who the hell wants to trouble you, don't ask me to introduce you to the port job if you have the skills." Leng Touqing put the sweat towel on his shoulders With a flick of his hand, he stuck his arm into his sleeve, muttered something, ignored Zhang Fu, and strode away.

Zheng Jiang watched from afar as Zhang Fu's dangling hand suddenly clenched into a fist, fearing that someone would impulsively step forward and give Leng Touqing a fist, and the situation would get worse when the situation worsened, so he hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Fu Fu, why are you here?"

The person in front turned his head when he heard the words, loosened his clenched fists, and greeted him in a few steps: "Master Zheng."

As the people approached, Zheng Jiang stopped to see a large red mark on Zhang Fu's slightly thin shoulders. The goods on the dock were heavy, and a bag of goods weighed dozens of kilograms and rolled on his shoulders. , Damage to the muscles and bones, Zhang Fu obviously just came to the pier not long ago, otherwise there would be no obvious bruises on the shoulders and back.

"What's the matter with you, how come you came to the pier to do something?"

Zhang Fu scratched the back of his head. Although he was not much younger than Zheng Jiangting in age, he always looked like a child in front of him: "It costs fifty Wen to move a ship on the pier. Faster and more."

Zheng Jiangting has never been to the pier to work, but he probably knows the depth of the pier. Although he can get fifty cash at a time, if the owner of the ship is more generous, he can give more, but there are not jobs on the pier every day. , there are a lot of men who come to carry them, and many times even if there is a boat, they may not be able to squeeze in.

In addition, if there is any accident during loading and unloading, the ship owner will not care.

He glanced at Zhang Fu, noncommittal, just opened the food box, and handed over a bowl of minced meat and eggplant rice: "Hungry, put on your clothes and eat something, although spring is coming, the wind is still blowing." Stay cool, don't catch the wind and cold."

Zhang Fu has been busy all morning, and what he does is to work hard. Because he is a new talent, he is afraid that the ship owner will think that he is sneaky, slippery and incompetent. , he wished to take two big mouthfuls directly.

Minced meat can still be seen on the fried eggplant sticks, and a bowl of white rice under the dish, these are all delicious, how could he have the nerve to ask Zheng Jiang to stop the meal: "I'm not hungry."

Zheng Jiangting almost saw the person swallowing, and he stuffed the bowl over: "I don't know if I'm hungry or not. Since when have I been so polite to me?" The two of them used to eat a lot of food in Fuyuezhai .

Zhang Fu wiped his palms on his trouser legs several times, taking over the job in embarrassment: "Thank you, Master Zheng."

The two found a stone pier and sat down by the pier. Zheng Jiangting looked at the people around him eating, and he still praised the food. He waited for a long time before saying: "Now you can say Say what happened."

Zhang Fu swallowed, feeling depressed: "I was fired by the manager. Not long after you left, Fuyue Zhai laid off a few handymen, and I wasn't there before, but the manager suddenly came later. Pay me my wages and tell me not to go.”

"The errands are done well. Who wants to leave? It's not easy for ordinary people like us to find a stable job. We have to rely on the little wages to support our families. I stayed, but who knew that the person in charge cut me off to let him take in the new brother who came in. His little brother-in-law's younger brother had no job to do, so he cut me to an empty position so that my brother-in-law could take over superior."

Zheng Jiangting frowned: "This manager really likes to find work for relatives. Fu Yuezhai's cook is his brother-in-law, and the clerk is his brother-in-law. I'm afraid everyone who works in Fu Yuezhai will become a member of his family."

Zhang Fu shook his head: "It's also doing things for others. Liao Jianzhang can marry a young wife, and we are still worrying about work."

Zheng Jiang stopped for a few words of relief, and he knew that the life of ordinary people was difficult.

Zhang Fu sighed: "My mother is ill, I want to ask the doctor to take a good look at her, but she is reluctant to part with the money, saying that she saved it for me to marry a daughter-in-law, and refuses to use the money, and my ex-sister even invited me to the house The doctor left in anger. I don’t blame her, I know she loves me, and I know that life is difficult now that I don’t have an errand, so I can’t just lie to her and come to the pier to work hard, coaxing her to find a stable errand gone."

As he said that, he couldn't help becoming more worried: "Master Zheng probably saw it just now. I offended the person who introduced me. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along at this pier. I hope other ship owners can continue to let me unload."

Zheng Jiangting was about to speak, when suddenly the small sun in front of him went dark, and two burly men stood in front of him, and Zhang Fu's hands that were planing rice stopped.

"Are you two okay?"

"Just now we seem to have heard you yelling twice, but are you selling food? We heard that the food this guy eats is quite delicious, and the smell is far away, so we came to ask."

Zheng Jiangting was overjoyed when he heard the words, just now he was so busy reminiscing with Zhang Fu that he almost forgot the business, but he didn't know that many people on the pier were watching them.

He immediately opened the food box, and said enthusiastically, "It's a food seller. Would you like to buy one? Eighteen for meat and fifteen for vegetarian."

Listening to the price, the two looked at each other and muttered a few words.

"There are eggplants, fungus, and the most popular tomato scrambled eggs in the shop. There are vegetables and rice."

Hearing the price, the two men hesitated a little when they smelled the fragrance in the food box, and suddenly they were a little shaken again. They involuntarily approached Zheng Jiang and stopped, and their eyes aimed at the food box: "There is more than one kind. good."

Zheng Jiangding was determined to start a business, and lowered his voice, "Unloading is physical work, and you have the strength to do things when you are full. If you two enjoy this meal, I will give you a penny."

Zhang Fu didn't know that Zheng Jiang had opened a restaurant, but now he knew it was for business, so he hurriedly agreed: "This meal is really delicious, and it's much more cost-effective than ordering a small dish in a restaurant. Cook it fragrant, If you don’t believe me, hear it!”

As he said that, Zhang Fu savagely took a few mouthfuls of rice in front of the two of them.

The two were very moved by what they were told, and they gritted their teeth: "Give me some meat, the captain is generous today, and he paid an extra five cents!"

"If you want your meat, go, I'll take it."

"Okay!" Zheng Jiang stopped and said, "Come and choose which one you want."

Then one chose Kung Pao Chicken, and the other chose tomato scrambled eggs, and the two went to the side with large bowls.

After such a start, there was no need for Zheng Jiangting to shout and publicize. Two friends who were unloading the same ship came to join in the fun, and some people who smelled the smell of rice also came to see it. After a while, many people surrounded Zheng Jiangting. Like the money steward on a ship.

"It's too expensive. Buying two big pancakes can keep you full."

"Is there meat, vegetables, and rice in the pancake? Can you compare it?"

"It smells gluttonous, but it's tight in the pocket."

Zheng Jiang stopped to catch the conversation: "Isn't life just a matter of making a meal, and making a mess every now and then?"

"The little boss can really talk, that's the reason! Give me three copies!"

"Roar! Splendid!"

The crowd sighed for a while, and the one who squeezed in was the money distribution manager of the big ship, who paid for three meals with a smile on his face, and the two food boxes that Zheng Jiangting brought suddenly only had two meals left. People's eyes are hot, and those who want to buy but wait and see hurriedly pay for it: "Leave me a copy!"

Zheng Jiang's two-food box lunch was sold out in one go, which was completely beyond his expectation.

The person who didn't buy it felt a little regretful, and asked him if he would come tomorrow.

After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Fu was still immersed in the joy of selling out the meals, and it took him a while to relax. Master Zheng had to charge for the meals, and he couldn't eat free, and was about to pay for them, when Zheng Jiang stopped As if he had seen through his thoughts, he pulled his hand and pressed his wrist: "You have to be polite to me again."

Zhang Fu withdrew his hand, knowing Zheng Jiangting's temper, there was no point in arguing on this pier, so he would just buy him a drink when he found a chance in the future.

"Where does Master Zheng work now? Why did you deliver the meals?"

"I opened a restaurant not long ago."

Zheng Jiang stopped briefly explaining the current situation of the restaurant to Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu was happy when he heard the words: "Master Zheng is really amazing. It is better to open a small shop by yourself than to suffer elsewhere. The food you cook is so delicious. It is really the right place to sell it on the pier."

Zheng Jiangting came to test the water today, and the response was really good. If he came every day in the future, the restaurant would be able to increase a lot of business, but now there is a difficulty, if he wants to come out at the meal time to sell the food, the manpower in the shop will be very high. Not enough.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Zhang Fu: "Do you want to follow me?"

Zhang Fu was a little taken aback. The dock was bitter and tiring. If you have today's work, you may not have tomorrow's work. It would be great if you could stop working with Zheng Jiang: "Of course I want to! Master Zheng, can I really follow you? "

His eyes were starry, and his words were full of joy. Zheng Jiang stopped laughing and said, "Don't be so happy, I can say my ugly words first. The restaurant has only opened recently, and the shop is small, and the wages you pay are not comparable Fu Yuezhai. Furthermore, if you really want to follow me, the main errand is to come out to solicit business like I did today. Don't rush to refuse or agree. I will give you a day to think about it. If you think it is appropriate, Then you can come to Wangmin Street to find me tomorrow."

After Zhang Fu heard the words, he was immersed in joy a lot. He felt that it was reasonable for Zheng Jiang to stop talking, so he responded, "Okay, I will listen to you."

After Zheng Jiang stopped and Zhang Fu agreed, the two bid farewell at the pier and went about their own business. Zheng Jiang stopped at the pier for a long time and had to go back to the restaurant to continue working.

Back to the restaurant, he is not here today, the business is much sluggish, only a few scattered customers are eating rice bowls.

Zou Yun came up to take the food box in his hand, Diandian lightly and delicately, she asked in surprise: "All sold?"

Zheng Jiangting nodded his head: "It's all sold, and there are quite a few people buying at the pier."

"It's good if it's sold out. It's almost ten copies. We don't have so many customers coming to the restaurant at noon." Zou Yun hugged the food box and smiled gently: "I took the bowl to wash, you hurry to cook. , There is a table of guests who ordered fish with pickled cabbage."

"okay."

Xu heard that the cook was not there, and the business in the restaurant was a bit deserted throughout the lunch. In fact, the business was not as good as before after the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, Zheng Jiangting would not be so anxious to expand his business.

After he finished the fish, he delivered it to the long-waiting guests himself, and also sent a plate of dried fruits.

After the guests at this table left, no one came in again. The rich ingredients prepared in the morning were not sold out, so there was no need to prepare ingredients in the afternoon.

After lunch, the fisherman yelled and came to Wangmin Street. Zheng Jiangting saw that the fish was in good condition and lively, so he bought two grass carp and silver carp.

"Brother Xian, bring sixty Wen over here."

He put about two catties of fish he had selected into a wooden barrel, and Brother Xian came over to pay after hearing the sound.

"The old man came here today to sell fish."

The fisherman looked at Brother Xian, and the two exchanged a few words.

"Do you know?"

"Yes, I used to buy fish from the old man."

Zheng Jiangting remembered that brother Xian really liked to buy fish to eat at home, big and small, grass carp, silver carp, perch, and perch. I think he loves fish very much. It's been a long time since I had a good meal.

He tilted his head to look at the little brother who was looking at the fish with his head buried, and asked, "Do you want to eat fish?"

"Huh?" Chu Xian was a little surprised. He naturally thought about it. Zheng Jiang stopped making fish, which suits his appetite. In this way, he, who already loves fish, would love to eat it even more, but he hesitated: "Eat fish." It's too troublesome."

It takes a lot of time to deal with it, and cooking has to be done. Zheng Jiang is already very tired from spending all day around the pots and stoves.

"It's okay, there aren't many guests today, so let's eat fish tonight." Zheng Jiang stopped to choose fish, and he fell in love with a red-tailed carp with a big round belly: "How about this one?"

The old man said with a smile: "The carp is tender and tender, and it is the most suitable for cooking."

Brother Xian saw that Zheng Jiangding had picked up all the fish, so he didn't refuse any more, his eyes slightly curved: "I'll listen to you."

After the fisherman left, Zheng Jiangting removed the scales and marinated the carp that he wanted to eat at night while he had nothing to do. The carp was not too big, so it would be good to steam it at night. He waited for the weather to warm up later, so he went to buy some carp The seedlings are raised in the rice fields in the village, and they are caught when the rice flowers are fragrant. When the carp is full of roe, it is beautiful to cook in a pot.

But taking advantage of the beginning of spring, he also wanted to plant a slice of chili peppers. It would be too difficult to cook fish without chili peppers.

Just thinking about it, brother Xian called him: "Cai Lin is here."

Zheng Jiangting heard the words and put the fish on the salt and put it aside, wiped his hands and went out. Cai Lin didn't come for a while.

"The tomatoes have matured a lot. I picked them and brought them to you. They are still fresh." Cai Lin parked the carriage at the entrance of the restaurant, jumped off the top of the carriage with his feet lifted, and others who got out of the carriage with him He is a very tall guy, almost reaching Cai Lin's chin. His appearance is not outstanding, but his facial features are also very upright. He is very hardworking. He helped Cai Lin carry the basket down as soon as he got off the car. It was quite big, and without a pause, he followed Cai Lin and sent the basket into the house.

Although he didn't hear the introduction, Zheng Jiangding guessed that this should be Lin Geer that Cai Lin often talks about.

Zheng Jiangding also went forward to move the tomatoes. The tomatoes this time were not as large as last time, but they were enough for a while: "The tomatoes in the restaurant are almost used up. I was going to pick them in the village. I didn't expect You sent it first."

"The weather is getting warmer, and the village is busy plowing the land, and I am also busy plowing, and I have plowed out the few acres of land in your family." Cai Lin approached him and whispered: "Lin Brother helped me plow."

Although the two of you don't distinguish between your land and mine now, you still have to be grateful for plowing the land alone. After hearing what he said, Zheng Jiang Ting didn't know who made the other perfect: "You really It’s amazing, it can abduct people to their own fields, and even bring them to the city.”

"Hell, he helped me plow the land. I said that I would go to the city to buy a box of rouge for him, and let him choose it together. I told him that when I earned money, I would buy the rouge in the village. The thatched house was converted into a tile-roofed house, and then I will go to his house to propose marriage." Cai Lin took advantage of Lin Geer's time to go out, and bumped into Zheng Jiangting's shoulder with a biting voice: "We have exchanged hearts, and I even touched his hand. I haven't pulled it before, how can I compare with you, I can recite it to my little brother without saying anything."

Zheng Jiang stopped and gave Cai Lin an elbow. This kid still remembered the incident when Brother Xian went to the village. He said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, mine can be the same as yours!"

Cai Lin laughed and said, "If you insist on saying something different, I can't help you."

"Come on, I won't waste time with you today, I still want to take Brother Lin for a stroll."

Zheng Jiangting watched the man's mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, and snorted: "You can just sneer."

"Dachai, wait a minute." Zou Yun heard the sound, and carried a piece of pork belly in his hand, estimated to be more than a catty: "Take it home and eat."

"Oh, ma'am, how did this happen!"

Cai Lin pushed back again and again: "You loved to take things when you were young, but now you give them away at my age."

He frequently winks at Zheng Jiang. Although the price of meat has dropped a little after the new year, it is not cheap. Although the Zheng family has opened for business, it is just getting up.Unexpectedly, instead of speaking for him, Zheng Jiangting picked up the meat and stuffed it into his arms: "Just take it if you tell me, this is what mother means and what I mean, and you have to take care of the crops in the village. I will also come to the village in two days."

Zheng Jiang stopped talking, and he couldn't continue to evade: "Yes, then I will accept it. You can come to the village for a while, the potatoes are still waiting for you to see."

"to make."

Zheng Jiang stopped to send Cai Lin out: "When the tomatoes are ripe, you can save some for yourself, don't let me tell you."

"That's up to you, I'm stupid. When Brother Lin came to plow the land, I also gave him some to eat, but I didn't let his family know."

"Yes, I know what you do."

Cai Lin climbed into the cart, and was about to drive the cattle away, when Brother Lin hurriedly said: "Let's go now, do you want to take the side dishes you brought back?"

"Look at my memory." Cai Lin scratched his head, and took the basket from Brother Lin's hand, which contained some garlic sprouts, scallions, and green vegetables, with some dew on them, very fresh: "I just picked them in the field."

You come and I give things away, although they are not particularly valuable, Zheng Jiangting feels warm in his heart, he waved to Cai Lin with the basket in his hand.

Brother Xian came from the counter and passed his basket, followed his gaze: "I'm still watching. Does Brother Zheng like a little brother like Brother Lin?"

"Ah?" Zheng Jiangting woke up from the warmth: "Don't talk nonsense, that is Cai Lin's favorite person, and he will come to propose marriage soon."

"Where am I talking nonsense, you were staring at him just now."

Zheng Jiangting explained in a serious panic: "I've heard Cai Lin mention brother Lin for a long time, but I've never seen him before. Today, I can't help but stare at people when I see him. How can it be called staring."

Chu Xian narrowed his eyebrows and smiled. Zheng Jiangting's flustered appearance was completely different from his usual stable appearance. He was a little cute. Of course he knew that Zheng Jiangting could not be interested in his friend's sweetheart. It's just a talking head.

"I saw Brother Lin's hands and feet are nimble. He seems to be a very capable little brother. Men should like a down-to-earth brother who knows how to manage. What about Brother Zheng, is that so?"

These words really touched Zheng Jiangting's heart. In the past, his idea of ​​choosing a spouse was to find a virtuous girl who was diligent and thrifty and kept the house. Afterwards, he was busy with food and clothing every day, so he didn't think about these things anymore.

Hearing what Chu Xian said today, he suddenly felt that it is not always necessary to be down-to-earth, capable and virtuous: "You can't look at competence too one-sidedly, some people are good at doing family affairs, but some people are weaker. Good at housework but good at accounting, needlework, etc., are also capable."

"Ok?"

Facing Chu Xian's doubtful voice, Zheng Jiangting suddenly felt that what he said seemed to be talking about him specifically, and he didn't even notice it. I think Brother Xian is the best in everything.

"It's nothing, I'm going to work first, and I have to take the newly picked tomatoes to dry. Take the small tomatoes back to roast, by the way, do you want candied haws? I'll make some..."

The next day, Zheng Jiang stopped carrying a big straw shelf, filled with candied haws made of small tomatoes, yellow and red crossed on the straw shelf, the crystal clear color was very attractive.

He made this with the small tomatoes that Cai Lin sent over last night, and he planned to sell it at the door today.

As soon as he arrived at Wangmin Street, he saw a figure standing in front of his shop in the gray sky. The empty street was cold in the early morning. The man put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the wall with his neck curled up. Qingren, who didn't think much of it, approached Brother Xian and said in surprise, "Zhang Fu, why are you here?"

Zheng Jiang stood the straw shelf on the ground, took out the key to open the door, compared to Brother Xian's surprise, he was very calm.

Zhang Fu obviously didn't expect that in the past, Fu Yuezhai was high and highly sought after by rich children, and Mr. Yunrong would come side by side with Zheng Jiangting in a simple suit. He said politely, "Young Master Yunrong."

Brother Xian smiled brightly: "I've stopped performing in Fuyue Zhai, so you can call me Brother Xian from now on."

Zhang Fu used to see Chu Xian a few times in Fuyuezhai from a long distance. He was always holding the piano with a veil on his face, with a sick look, and he looked so good-looking, making people feel alienated and indifferent. These low-level people The handyman has no chance to get close.

Later, he often did chores for Zheng Jiang, and he saw Chu Xian more frequently, but he had never seen Chu Xian take off his face scarf. Silly.

But after a pause, he still came back to his senses. In the past, he would occasionally convey messages for the two of them, and gossip with the back kitchen staff. He also thought that there was something wrong with the two of them. Only a child is missing.

His eyes were blank: "Master Zheng and Xian... When did Mr. Chuxian get married?"

Brother Xian laughed, turned his head to look at Zheng Jiangting: "I'm asking you something."

Hearing such words, Zheng Jiang stopped now, and he was no longer like a fool who had never seen the world before. He slapped Zhang Fu on the top of his head without being surprised: "What are you talking about, do you still want to do it! Brother Xian is just here Just keep accounts. Now that you’re here, come in and get ready to work, don’t hang around outside.”

Zhang Fu followed into the shop in a daze, still looking back and forth between the two in disbelief.

Brother Xian was making plans at the counter, and kindly explained for Zheng Jiangting: "Brother Zheng and I are neighbors, so we are very close."

Only then did Zhang Fu figure it out, and it made sense: "So that's how it is."

Zheng Jiangting stuck the candied haws on the door, and then went in and said to Zhang Fu, "The wages of my clerk here are three cents and five cents a month, and the business will increase in the future, but it's okay."

Zhang Fu nodded again and again, four dollars a month in Fuyuezhai, but it is a big restaurant after all, it is already very good for a small restaurant to give this amount: "Then what should I do?"

"Greeting guests, go out to deliver food at noon, just like I did yesterday."

"okay."

At the end, Zheng Jiangting said to Brother Xian again: "From now on, you can just collect the bills. At noon, Zhang Fu went out to say hello, and today I will take him out of the procedure."

Chu Xian put down her calculations, now that she has an extra buddy, she can feel a lot easier, so she said, "Yes, Master Zheng, it's all up to your arrangement."

Zheng Jiangting saw the man lying in front of the counter and pursed his lips and smiled, so he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head: "Don't be naughty."

Zhang Fu standing in the distance: ... What kind of goddamn beautiful neighbor relationship is this? Is he unworthy?Why is his neighbor the annoying Heiwa Lengtouqing?

It is true that the small restaurant runs faster with the addition of a guy, and the urging voices of the guests are much less. At noon, Zheng Jiangting prepared the food box early and asked Zhang Fu to go out to run the order, and Brother Xian started to work again. .

It took Zhang Fu an hour to come back this trip, which was longer than when he went to the pier yesterday. Zou Yun saw that the person did not come back for a long time, so he thought he ran away with a food box, but he knew it was Zheng Jiangting who deliberately recruited him. My buddy, I think he should still have some character, so he didn't ask too much.

Zheng Jiang stopped to fetch candied haws for the children. Seeing Zhang Fu running out of breath, he asked, "Are you being chased by a dog?"

Zhang Fu said with a sigh of relief: "I brought a lot of food today, the cargo ship at the pier will arrive in the afternoon, and there are not many people buying food. I went to Jinxi School again, but the food was sold out outside the school. "

Zheng Jiangding knew that Jinxi Academy was a university hall, and there were rich and poor students in it. If he wanted to say that he was willing to spend money, I am afraid that there were more people willing to spend money in the school than on the wharf. He had thought about going there. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fu's mind was quite active, so he went there before he said anything.

"Is it easy to sell at the school?"

"It's easy to sell. There are still five that I haven't bought yet. Let me send them over quickly." Zhang Fu raised his chin proudly as he spoke.

Zheng Jiangting agreed with his professional ability very much, so he quickly made five copies and sent them to others.

Brother Xian fiddled with the abacus, slowly took a sip of the honey water that Zheng Jiang stopped making, and said, "Including the meals delivered by Zhang Fu, the money I've earned from today to now is already as much as yesterday."

Zheng Jiang stopped raising his eyebrows: "The buddy is not in vain."

After a few days, Zhang Fu ran around the pier and the school, and he was already familiar with the two places. He no longer needed to sell food along the street all the time. Those who wanted food would register with him in advance. sent to two places.

Lengtou Qingheiwa looked at a group of people gathered around to get food, Zhang Fu's air made him feel sick, and he gnawed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.

"Xiao Hei, didn't you introduce that kid to the pier? Why did you deliver the food? I smell the food is really delicious, especially the tomato scrambled eggs. The people on the pier said that they have never eaten it before. Can you ask Ask if it can be cheaper."

Hei Wa yelled angrily: "What's delicious? Don't make a mistake by eating sour ones. People from your village are so greedy. If you want to eat, you don't know how to ask. Why do you want me to ask?"

The man who was talking to him muttered: "Don't you two know each other, why did they find another job so quickly, and you are still at the dock."

"Whoever knows him, I'll tell you if you owe a beating!"

The man hurriedly jumped away: "I'm afraid it's not that the food is sour, but the people are also sour."

Zheng Jiangting saw that the shop's business was stabilizing, the daily income was real, and the manpower was sufficient. Considering that rice bowls are selling well now, but the main dishes are less varied, he wants to introduce new dishes. .

Two days ago, he heard from Mr. Jia that there was an antique soup shop on the main street, and the business was booming. After the restaurant closed, he went to the main street to find out. It was a big restaurant, but it was as big as the three of them. , He took a few glances at the door, and there was a boiler placed on someone's guest table, and diners put vegetables in it.

He suddenly realized that what antique soup is actually hot pot.There is no chili in this era, and the hot pot is served with clear soup. In fact, there are not many choices, but there are many customers, which shows that there is still a market.

Now that there is a market, he can't give up the opportunity to make money, so he thought about using tomatoes to boil the bottom of the pot and making tomato sour soup pot. The matching dishes include special dishes such as fish balls, shrimp slippery, etc. Considering the cost and manpower, he prepares it every day There are four or five tables of dishes, and if there are few people eating, there is no worry that they will not sell out and hoard too many dishes to waste.

After getting ready, he first tried to let everyone sell to the guests.

Fourth Master Jia often comes to the small restaurant to talk about new things in Jincheng with the beauty brother, and eat some dried fruit with the leather face of the old customer. Hearing that the restaurant will serve new dishes or antique soup, immediately When I became interested, I knew that it was not enough for one person to eat the antique soup, so I even called a few friends to come together.

It’s good to have someone to support him. Zheng Jiangting prepared a thick tomato soup pot. He spent a lot of time removing the spines of the fish and making them into balls. He also made shrimp slips from the fresh shrimps he bought, and served them with homemade salty and delicious oil dishes. , completely unfamiliar with the ostentation of a big restaurant.

"What is this slippery? It's so fragrant!"

Mr. Jia smelled the strong aroma of the tomato pot and couldn't help but pick up a ripe and floating shrimp to taste. It was really fresh in his mouth, and it was very elastic when biting, just like a live shrimp. It was as though his mouth was spitting, and he swallowed it regardless of the burning of his mouth.

Seeing his attitude, several other people quickly ate shrimp slippery sandwiches. For a while, the whole table was full of praise, which caused the guests at other tables to turn their heads frequently.

"Give me another shrimp slip!"

Zou Yun smiled and raised her eyebrows, and hurried to the back kitchen to make shrimp slippery. The taste of her cooking may be different from her son's, but the shrimp slippery made has no moist taste, so there is no reason why it would be different.A table of people praised the restaurant for its freshness, and they ordered three servings of smooth shrimp, and the last table charged more than one penny.

Fourth Master Jia was so happy that he took out the money without blinking an eye when he paid the bill. These young masters often go to big restaurants, and the silver for a banquet may be seven or eight dollars, or even a few taels of silver. In people's eyes, it is the money for rewarding actors, Zheng Jiang stopped to collect the money in real terms, and he didn't feel that he was ripping people off.

"The shrimp slippery and fish balls are delicious, and the soup is different from other restaurants. This trip is not in vain. I will come back to eat in two days."

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "Our small restaurant has a fixed amount of antique soup dishes, but as long as the fourth master comes over, there will be dishes from time to time."

Fourth Master Jia laughed loudly and said, "Only you know how to do business."

Zheng Jiang stopped sending people out, and paused at the door for a while, he should be a little busy now.

Before he had time to be happy, Zhang Fu ran back with a grimace, and said anxiously at the door: "Half of the meals I took to the school today have not been sent out!"
