I sold snacks in ancient times

Every afternoon when washing clothes by the river, the elderly ladies would gather around and chat their teeth.Lianhua Village is small, and there is nothing new on weekdays, either Widow Li stealing love or someone else stealing vegetables from someone's field.

Aunt Xu beat the wet clothes with a pestle, and said mysteriously: "The little girl from the Liu family...brought home a very handsome brother a while ago, and told me that he was her distant relative."

"Oh, the one with the bald head?" Wang said casually, "I saw him in the village two days ago. He was quite handsome. Could it be that he has become a monk?"

"I'm not sure about that. The little brother's surname is Qi, and he seems to be from the west. Now he has set up a stall in the town to sell bread, and his business is booming!"

"Bread?" A few laundry ladies became interested and hurriedly asked, "What's this new stuff?"

Aunt Xu couldn't explain why, and said: "It looks like a steamed bun, but it costs 15 Wen each! I can't bear to buy it and eat it!"

"It's so expensive..."

"Go to town some other day and you must see it!"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Next time I take my family's ox cart, I'll take you to see it together! His stall is right in front of my butcher's shop."

……

On the other side of the river, Liu's house.

The crude adobe kitchen was emitting oily smoke, Liu Yuanzi poured the fried vegetables in the pot into a bowl, carried them out and put them on the table.

She was busy feeding the chickens in the morning, so it was a bit late to cook.The lunch was hearty, with homemade pickled pickles, stir-fried vegetables, wild vegetable soup, and even a plate of stir-fried pork head.

The meat was cut by Qi Yongfan yesterday from Chen Ji's butcher shop. He bought a catty and a half for 100 Wen per catty.

Liu Yuanzi couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten pork.Maybe half a year, maybe a year.So much so that she was so greedy that she couldn't help stealing a piece or two, and almost swallowed her tongue.

She went to the yard to call grandma and Qi Yongfan to have dinner.

These ordinary farm dishes are not seasoned with soy sauce and monosodium glutamate, and little coarse salt is added. Qi Yongfan feels tasteless after eating it, but Grandma and Liu Yuanzi drank all the leftover soup in the bowl. .

After eating, Qi Yongfan took out a pack of small sausages to eat.He has a big appetite, and he usually can't get enough to eat at Liu's house, so he has to go back to the car for extra meals.

It has been seven days since he traveled to the Great Yin Dynasty.Almost every day, he would bring three bags of Panpan buns to the town to sell in a bullock cart, with a daily net profit of 540 Wen.

After deducting daily expenses and fares, he has now earned a total of two taels of silver.

This amount of money is huge for rural people, enough to cover a family's living expenses for half a year.

But Qi Yongfan felt that it was not enough.Two days ago, he asked someone to find out that it would cost five taels of silver to do an identity certificate on behalf of him. If he continued to do this small business, it would take half a month to earn enough money.

Besides, it was tiring to go back and forth in a bullock cart every day, so he planned to drive the snack cart directly to the town, and then moved his household registration to Nanshan Town to settle down.

He told Liu Yuanzi about it, and decided to set off in the evening, and asked her to hire some buffaloes to pretend.

The buffaloes in the village are used for farming, and several households have them.Liu Yuanzi easily borrowed it with more than a dozen Wen, and tied it to the front of the snack cart with a thick hemp rope.

Of course, it is impossible for three buffaloes to drag this behemoth with a yellow card.The last time he was able to push the car, it was because he happened to encounter a downhill.

In 3087, scientists have already developed airships and other means of transportation.Qi Yongfan's RV is an antique from 2899, and it does not have any high-tech equipment except for pupil recognition when entering and exiting.

Liu Yuanzi reluctantly bid farewell to Qi Yongfan, thinking that she would no longer be able to eat soft and delicious buns after the other party left, and tearfully said: "Mr. Qi, can I still go to the town to find you in the future?"

"Yes." Qi Yongfan smiled and said, "The stall will be ready in a few days, and I plan to hire you to help."

"Really?" Liu Yuanzi was surprised.

"Well, wait for two days, and I will go back to Lianhua Village to find you." Qi Yongfan stuffed a handful of toffee into her hand, then got into the car and left without looking back.

The sun was setting, and there were few people along the way.Qi Yongfan drove at a slow speed, even so, it only took half an hour to reach the town.He rented a private house with a yard in a relatively remote place in Nanshan Town, and then parked his car in the small yard.

He first dragged the three buffaloes to Chen Ji's butcher's shop, stuffed them with [-] Wen, and asked Aunt Xu to drive them back to Lianhua Village tomorrow.

It was getting late, and he returned home exhausted.The monthly rent for this private house is only 450 Wen. The house is dilapidated, with only some old furniture, and it seems uninhabitable at all.

In fact, Qi Yongfan rented a house not for living, but for storing snack carts.He eats and lives in the car, with air-conditioning and flush toilets, and his quality of life is not much different from that in modern times.

He went to take a hot bath.When I came out of the bathroom, the heating inside the car had reached 27 degrees Celsius.He was wearing long trousers and a sweat vest, and walked to the warehouse with flip flops to pick out dinner.

Yay, the sausage machine still works.He grilled a big charred and crispy sausage for himself, and added a big bowl of spicy instant noodles.

After a simple dinner, he got up and went to the freezer, took a bottle of iced Coke, and poured it into his stomach, feeling refreshed physically and mentally.

What are you selling tomorrow?He began to think.

Let's sell some sandwich-flavored bread, increase sales, and earn five taels of silver as soon as possible. He will be safe in this era.

……

On the second day, Qi Yongfan woke up early, carrying a basket of bread to grab a stall.

To buy a stall, you need a government-registered identity certificate, which is similar to an ID card, called a body sticker.He is still a black householder now, and he can't buy a stall, so he can only grab those remote vacancies early.

There is an idle stall in front of Chen Kee's butcher shop, which has not been sold.Aunt Xu said the day before yesterday that she would lend it to Qi Yongfan, but within two days of squatting, he encountered an official who came to inspect him, so he had no choice but to run away.

"Hey, Brother Qi!" Mrs. Xu's son-in-law, Chen Sheng, the butcher, greeted him, "Are you robbing the stall again? Hurry up and go to the side of the academy. Today, the scholars are taking the local examination, and it's very lively inside."

Qi Yongfan stopped, turned his head and asked, "Is it the provincial examination for the imperial examination?"

"That's right." The butcher said with emotion, "It would be great if my boy could also be born a child in the future."

"Yes." Qi Yongfan comforted: "Chen Agou is so smart, he will be a scholar in the future."

Chen Agou is Chen Sheng's fat son, who is only five years old this year.Qi Yongfan still doesn't understand why the Chen family gave him such a name.

"Hey, I love hearing that!" The butcher grinned, cut a piece of meat from the table, wrapped it and threw it into Qi Yongfan's basket, and said, "I invite you to eat meat today!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Qi Yongfan was embarrassed, so he also took out a piece of bread from the basket and gave it to him.

The butcher conveniently gave the bread to Chen Agou who was yelling for milk in the back room.

……

The township examination is a very lively event in Nanshan Town.Nearly a hundred students filed in with bookcases on their shoulders, and the yamen servants had to check their clothes and food one by one at the door for cheat sheets.

Just after dawn, a large group of vendors were crowded at the door of the ceremony room, selling pens and ink for food.Most of the students brought steamed buns or bean cakes, but they were broken into pieces by the yamen servants, and they were almost inedible.

Someone poked his head and said, "It seems that this year's provincial examination for cheating is very strict."

"That's not true! The new county magistrate has three fires to take office. I heard that this time, Nanshan Town must have a few talented people in the examination!"

Some students from wealthy families did not bring their own food, but planned to eat at the door of the ceremony room or buy some to bring in.

Qi Yongfan opened a stall next to a wonton shop, selling bread.After a few days of publicity, almost everyone in Nanshan Town knows about this novel "steamed bun".Especially the students of Nanshan Academy love to eat.

Soon his booth was surrounded by scholars, one wanted one and the other wanted two, and the white bread was sold out before the exam started, leaving only sandwich bread.

A certain student paid for it and said angrily: "Why did the previous one only cost 15 Wen, but mine cost 25 Wen?!"

Qi Yongfan glanced at him, and said calmly: "The white bread is sold out, yours is a sandwich bread, and it costs 25 cents each."

"What's so special about sandwich bread! It's 10 cents more expensive!"

The student took a big bite of the bread angrily, and suddenly his expression changed.

The classmate beside him hurriedly said, "Are you okay? Choking? Do you want some water?"

The student lowered his head and stared blankly at the red jam gushing out of the soft white flour... he thought, how could this thing be so sweet! ! !

He rushed to the booth in a few steps and shouted, "Give me three more sandwiches!"

Classmate: "..."

In just one morning, Qi Yongfan made a lot of money.The old man selling wontons looked jealous and asked, "Brother, is your bread really delicious?"

"Yeah, otherwise there would be no such people would buy it." Qi Yongfan counted out a few copper coins and handed them to the old man, saying: "Give me a copy of the bowl."

"okay!"

The old man took the money and didn't care about the acid anymore, he was busy cooking.

Qi Yongfan tasted this wonton, uh, the ancient things are really lacking.Salt was added quite a bit, but only salty.

Maybe it's because the food is not tasty, the business of the old man's wonton stall is not good.When he was free, he vomited bitterness to Qi Yongfan, saying that his son was also studying in a private school, and he failed to pass the exam for ten years.

Business is not good these days, and the status of the businessman is low. He plans to sell the wonton stall and go home to farm.

Qi Yongfan glanced at the wonton stand, and had to admire the profound craftsmanship of the ancient people.It's no different from a modern roadside food cart, but it's a small cart with an iron pot built into it, and a charcoal fire is used to cook the food.

He remembered that he could still sell instant noodles, but he lacked such a snack cart to cover up, so he asked, "How much do you plan to sell for this cart?"

The old man said: "One tael of silver plus half a penny, and pots, bowls, tables and chairs."

Qi Yongfan turned his eyes around the small wooden tables and low stools behind him, and counter-offered: "I bought it for a tael of silver."

"Yo, little brother, you are too ruthless!" The old man looked pained on the surface, but he was actually happy in his heart.In the eyes of the pawnshop, his pile of stuff is like scrap metal. Unless it is a business deal with the peers, no one will be willing to spend money on it.

Qi Yongfan: "Sell it or not?"

The old man hurriedly said: "Sell!"
