Business is booming

Fortunately, Nan Qiqi was going to set up a stall with Lu Rulan the next day, so he devoted part of his energy to setting up a stall tomorrow.

He was a little excited and nervous.

In the village before, when he was at home, Lu Rulan couldn't sell a few pieces of tofu a day, so he didn't need his help at all.

He did go to the town with Lu Ziqian to sell things, but he was the one responsible for collecting money.

This time, when I went out to set up a stall, there was no Lu Ziqian, only him and his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was very capable. He didn't have to worry too much about doing business with his mother-in-law. Just like before, he was only responsible for collecting money.

But he had promised his husband before that he would train himself, if he only collects money and leaves the rest to his mother-in-law, how can he train himself.

He tossed and turned all night without much sleep, and woke up the next morning with two dark circles under his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to get up early and go to the kitchen to make Liangpi from the rice milk that had settled last night, but when he entered the kitchen, he found that his mother-in-law was almost done.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Seeing how sleepy he was, Lu Rulan drove him out, "Go back and rest, I'm almost done, don't do it."

"Mom, why did you get up so early?" Nan Qiqi felt embarrassed, as if he was back in the time when he was just married, he wanted to cook for the family, but was kicked out of the kitchen by Lu Rulan.

Lu Rulan didn't let him work, making him feel like a useless idler.

"I was used to working, but after I moved to Beijing, I was not allowed to do anything. I was free every day, and I didn't have to get up early, but I felt like my bones were about to fall apart, and I had no strength. , " Lu Rulan filled a handful of firewood into the stove, "Today I feel as if I really came back to life."

Nan Qiqi felt that her mother-in-law was very lonely on the way to Beijing and after she entered Beijing. When she was selling tofu in the village, there were always people coming and going at home. Many aunts and uncles came to talk to her mother-in-law. Although her mother-in-law often She has a cold face, but she can't hold back the enthusiasm of others.

At that time, the mother-in-law should be happy, but on the way to the capital, and after arriving in the capital, the mother-in-law always eats alone, and does not interfere with their dinner with Mr. Qin, General Zhang, and Qian Yi, and no one talks with them , it must be very boring.

This person has been bored for a long time and has nothing to do, and it is easy to hold back problems in his heart. Now they can go to the market to do some small business and meet more people. Maybe it is a good thing for the mother-in-law.

Before, Nan Qiqi thought about not letting her mother-in-law get tired and doing more work by herself, but now seeing her mother-in-law working so happily, he thought that if he snatched away the work, Lu Rulan might be unhappy instead. .

He came out of the kitchen to prepare something else.

They set up a stall and wanted to go there with tables, chairs and benches. Yesterday, they sent their husband back and bought these tables and chairs along the way.

There is a shop that specializes in tables, chairs and tableware for restaurants and restaurants, both first-hand and second-hand.

They bought two tables and matching benches, which were second-hand, and the tableware was new.

In addition, I also bought a large bucket, put all the bowls and chopsticks to be used in it, as well as side dishes, seasonings and cold noodle skins. Will get in dust.

He sorted out these things, and put them all on the donkey cart with Uncle Chen. When Lu Rulan's things were ready, they set off.

Today is the first day of opening the stall, and Nan Qiqi has already made preparations for not being able to open on the first day.

Liangpi is delicious, but for those who have never eaten it, do they really dare to try it?

Their Liangpi was finally priced at [-] Wen a bowl, if Nan Qiqi was asked to spend [-] Wen to buy something he had never tasted before, he would definitely hesitate for a long time.

Only when he saw that many people were buying it and he had a lot of spare cash on hand would he be willing to pay the thirty cents.

Before Xianggong went to school, he told him that the price must not be lowered. After the price is lowered, it cannot be raised back.

And thirty cents is very cheap, and there will be many people who will buy it in the future, so many that his hands hurt from being tired every day.

He believes in his husband, but he is also worried about today's business.

He was thinking, if there are really no people around for a while, whether to let Granny Lan and Lu Qing pretend to be guests, and perform eating cold noodle to attract guests.

Who knew that when they drove to the gate of the market, they saw a lot of people and a carriage parked at the gate of the market.

In the past, people who came here to buy vegetables seldom took carriages, most of them were donkey carts or mule carts, and those people looked very luxuriously dressed.

Nan Qiqi didn't understand what happened, "It's not the New Year's day today, why are there so many people?"

He couldn't help complaining. An old passer-by heard it and said to him, "I heard that these rich masters are here to eat Liangpi? What is that? I haven't even heard of it. Our little episode The things bought in the city are probably not in line with the tastes of these noble people, maybe they have passed through the place."

"Liangpi!" Nan Qiqi immediately perked up when he heard that, everyone came to eat their Liangpi, he looked at his mother-in-law with sparkling eyes and said, "Let's go there quickly, it will definitely be sold out today! "

Lu Rulan thought about the quantity of Liangpi she brought today, "Is there too little?"

They managed to squeeze in front of their booth, and when they got there, the first thing Nan Qiqi saw was Qian Yi!

"Uncle Qian, why are you here?" Nan Qiqi saw her acquaintance, her nervousness disappeared.

Qian Yi asked the young men around him to help them set up the stalls, "I saw Ziqian's paintings, and I was always greedy for this cold noodle, but I hinted at him once, but he didn't bring it to me, and asked me to come to you to buy it and eat it. , so I can only come here."

Nan Qiqi said embarrassingly: "He didn't tell me when he went back. If he had told me, I would have sent a copy to Uncle Qian. Did you bring all these guests?"

He felt that it was impossible for these people to come here to eat Liangpi for no reason, Qian Yi really helped a lot.

"It's thanks to your husband's publicity. He drew the comics. Although it was too late to print, I held a banquet for everyone to visit the manuscripts. I charged 500 taels for an admission ticket. You don't know how much it is. People came to see it, and I took the opportunity to make a lot of money. No, after they read the manuscript, they all came to buy it."

"Thank you Uncle Qian, I'll make you a bowl first." Nan Qiqi skillfully made a bowl for Qian Yi.

This thing is quick to make. Cut the prepared Liangpi into strips and put them in a bowl, then add side dishes and seasonings and it’s ready to serve. Guests can mix it evenly and eat it.

Qian Yi smelled it, and felt that it was similar to some mixed vegetables, but more fragrant, the smell of sesame paste, and there was chili oil on the table, so he could add it according to taste.

The other people in line saw that Qian Yi had already eaten, and they were extremely envious.

"It's really the same as the one in the painting. It's bright and beautiful. I have to taste it." A businessman came to ask the price. Usually, he asked his servants to ask the price for everything he ate.

But after he saw the painting, he was convinced of the content in the painting and felt that it was true. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had seen the fairies in the painting, and their crafts were also guided by the fairies themselves, which was different from ordinary small traders, so He needs extra respect.

He asked Nan Qiqi with some respect in his tone, "How much is a bowl?"

Nan Qiqi: "Three, thirty..."

He was nervous, and he stuttered a bit when he quoted the price for the first time.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man's eyes widen and said something, and he was too scared to continue.

Sure enough, thirty cents a bowl is too expensive...

As a result, when I was wondering whether to lower the price, I heard the person say: "30 taels a bowl, isn't it too low!"

Those who lined up behind were also surprised, "300 taels a bowl is too low, how can you live up to the fairy's kindness!"

Other street vendors and ordinary people who often come here to buy things here are scared to take a few steps back when they hear the price of 30 taels a bowl. There is a huge gap between people.

"It's not 30 taels, it's 50 Wen, and, besides, I made [-] bowls today." Nan Qiqi counted the people behind him, and there must be more than [-] people. He boldly said, "Today's limit, one per person bowl."

The condition of one bowl per person is not too much. Everyone is curious when they come here for the first time. Although it looks good, it is just an ordinary cold salad with some common vegetables and seasonings. The taste may be the taste of ordinary cold salad.

There are not enough places for tables, and a dozen people can sit in a tight squeeze.

However, these gentlemen would not sit and eat at such small stalls, but asked the servants to bring food boxes and bowls and pack them back to eat.

When they saw that Nan Qiqi had skillfully mixed a cold noodle and asked them if they wanted to add chili, they were stunned, what is chili?It seems to be mentioned in the painting, it is also something brought by the fairy, there is no specific description of the taste.

"You can put it in a small dish first, and try to add some according to taste when you go back." Nan Qiqi kindly reminded, "You can eat less for the first time, or your mouth will hurt if you eat too much."

"It still hurts? Then ask for less." Those who are timid ask for less, and some don't want it at all, and those who like to try new things ask for more.

These people took the food boxes and got into the carriage. They wanted to go back and eat again, but they heard from Nan Qiqi that it would not taste good after a long time and would soften.

And this taste is really fragrant, they couldn't help but want to taste it along the way.

So the masters couldn't control it and asked someone to park the carriage on the side of the road, and opened the food box to taste.

After putting this cold noodle in their mouths, they praised the taste that they had never tasted before. The cold noodle is strong, served with crispy cucumbers, and that kind of pepper. They couldn't stop eating mouthfuls, "It's really a fairy I taught it, this taste is really unique, I will come back tomorrow.”

After a long period of time, a strange phenomenon appeared at the gate of the market. There were many carriages parked at the gate of the market, and those nobles would drag their families to eat Liangpi in the carriage.

On the day Lu Ziqian came back, Nan Qiqi and Lu Rulan also rested, and they both lost weight in the past half month.

Seeing Nan Qiqi's tired face, Lu Ziqian went over to hug him distressedly, "How is the business doing? You made a lot of money, we Qiqi are really good."

Nan Qiqi sighed, "I feel like I'm just a ruthless cold noodle machine. Your paintings, Mr. Xianggong, are so good that you can sell a hundred bowls before noon every day. You can make another batch when you come back in the afternoon, and you can still do it in the evening." If we sell another two hundred bowls, my mother, mother-in-law and Lu Qing will be exhausted to death."
