Food for the people

The car slowly got out of the alley and pushed onto the West Street. People were coming and going on the street, hawkers were constantly coming and going, all kinds of scents wafted from the stalls and went straight to people's noses, it was very lively.

Qiao Yu attracted the attention of others as soon as he pushed the car, but he didn't intend to stop, and no one called him for a while.

Seeing that everyone was looking at his car, Qiao Ling hurried up to tidy up the small flags on the car, and asked Qiao Yu, "Brother, everyone is watching us, why don't we sell it here."

In fact, Qiao Yu himself did not expect that everyone would have such a great interest in his small food truck. He originally planned to push it to the gate of the city to sell it. Although everyone seemed to think that place was not suitable for selling food, but Qiao Yu is well versed in consumer psychology, and knows that the more places like this are, the more unexpected effects can be produced.

But now the sights from the surroundings from time to time made him hesitate. Whether to go to the gate of the city or stay here, he didn't make up his mind for a moment, so he paused for a while and said to Qiao Ling: "Go there first, if someone asks you , just stop."

As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, a woman's charming voice came from the side: "Hey, what are you two little brothers selling? Why do you just walk over there in a hurry and stop to let me see."

Qiao Ling turned her head, only to smell a gust of fragrant wind blowing in front of her, a beautiful woman Ting Ting in a peach-colored skirt came to the side of the two and stopped.

"But there are meals for sale? I just happened to be busy all morning and haven't had a bite of rice. If there are meals for sale, please get me some to try."

The woman is about 27/[-] years old, with a little powder, and a pair of eyes that smile at people first, making people feel close to each other when they look at them.

In the makeup shop behind her, a man who looked like a customer smiled and said, "Wan Niang, there are so many food sellers on this street, why did you fall in love with this little brother?"

The woman named Wanniang looked back and smiled: "If they were half as good-looking as this little brother, I would have bought them long ago."

Wanniang's words caused the people in front of her to laugh, and more people looked this way all of a sudden.

After all, Qiao Ling was young and had never seen such a battle. He stood at the same place and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. Qiao Yu became much calmer and asked with a smile, "It sells noodles. Do you want to eat, sister?"

Wanniang rolled her eyes and laughed again, "Look at how good this mouth is, but I'm not a big sister, and my Chaosheng is older than your brother. I've been here on West Street for many years, and I'm still the first one with your car." See you once, is this the first time you come out to sell things?"

Qiao Yu nodded, matching his face, he looked very cute.

Wanniang probably also saw the shadow of her own child from them, and she was afraid that the two stopped them because they couldn't open their mouths to sell. Some loving mother's thoughts.

"Don't care what kind of noodles it is, cook one for me. There are a lot of noodle shops on this street. It's the first time I've seen the stalls pushing around. I'll try it first. If it's delicious, you all Let's buy it." Wanniang said, turning her head to several nearby shops.

A few people came out of the shops on the left and right of the cosmetics shop, and they probably had a good relationship with this Wan Niang, and they all smiled and nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yu didn't hesitate this time, as soon as the car stopped, he lit the fire.

The water in the pot was already hot, but when the fire licked it, it boiled away in a short while.

Qiao Yu lifted the curtain under the car, and took out a handful of noodles of uniform thickness from the basket.

This is the "noodles" that Qiao Yu spent several days researching. In fact, it is completely different from the kind of noodles Qiao Yu is familiar with. The noodles are not completely dried, but after adding more dry flour, they are fully dried. Dry it to make it half-dry. Qiao Yu kneads the noodles very vigorously, so the Q bombs are delicious and will not stick together due to overlapping.

As soon as Qiao Yu took out this side, Wan Niang said again: "It's the first time I've seen this side too, did the little brother make it himself? It seems quite convenient."

Qiao Yu gave a hum, and threw the noodles into the pot. The thin noodles were cooked quickly and became round and white. Qiao Yu leaned over and took out a thick porcelain bowl, scooped the noodles into the bowl a few times, and opened the side cover crock.

The aroma of shredded pork with sauerkraut wafted into his nostrils instantly, and Wanniang's eyes lit up.

"It smells really good."

Of course, it tastes better, Qiao Ling added proudly in his heart, puffing out his small chest.

After filling the noodles and pouring the dishes, Qiao Yu took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks cage and handed them to Wan Niang along with the bowl. Wan Niang took it with her hand, carried it to the shop, and said as she walked, "Wait, if it's good After eating, I will cook a bowl for Zhao Sheng later, and he just happens to be coming soon."

Before Qiao Yu could speak, the man who was shopping in Wanniang's shop laughed first: "Little brother must be waiting, you didn't even give me any money."

Wan Niang put the bowl on the table and patted her head, "Look at my memory, how much is a bowl? Here, I'll give you the money."

Qiao Yu replied: "A bowl for five cents, you can eat it first, and it won't be too late to give it after you finish eating."

Wan Niang shook her head, "That's not okay, it's not good to forget about it later."

After she finished speaking, she waved to Qiao Ling, "Come, come and get the money."

Qiao Ling happily went over to take five copper coins, carefully put them in his purse and handed them to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu said, "You should take the first sum of money first."

Qiao Ling didn't want it, and stuffed the footsteps into Qiao Yu's clothes.

Wan Niang picked up a chopstick noodle, put it in her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at how good these two brothers are. It would be great if my Chaosheng also had such a brother."

The customer of the makeup shop smiled and said, "Wan Niang, it's hard to find an older brother for Chaosheng, and it's not impossible to give him a younger brother."

Wan Niang frowned, and spat, "You're the one who talks too much."

After speaking, he finally fed the noodles into his mouth.

The sour aroma of sauerkraut and the spiciness of chili popped in the mouth, and then the chewy texture of the noodles and shredded pork were wrapped together indiscriminately. The sour aroma was refreshing and delicious.

Wan Niang swallowed the noodles in one gulp, and immediately raised her head and said, "Buy it, buy it for me, if this noodles is not tasty, it will be mine."

Qiao Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, while Qiao Ling immediately burst into a wide-eyed smile.

Everyone has a herd mentality. Qiao Yu has pushed the car so far. Although everyone is curious about his car, no one is the first to ask. Even if other people want to buy it, they are thinking about whether to do it. The first person to speak, and now that Wanniang started this, everyone's desire to buy immediately became stronger, not to mention that after Wanniang ate the noodles, she still looked full of praise.

As soon as Wanniang's words fell, the man in her shop was the first to react, "I haven't eaten it yet, Wanniang, you've said that, I really have to try it, little brother, cook it for me, come here money."

He readily became the second early adopter, and immediately the people around him started to buy it noisily.

And if Wanniang is the one who makes everyone willing to try something new, Qiao Yu's craftsmanship is the key to whet everyone's appetite.

As long as you take a bite of fresh noodles, you can’t stop eating them immediately. Those who can open stores on West Street will not be poor people who can’t even afford five cents. Everyone originally just wanted to buy fresh noodles. , Unexpectedly, I can't stop eating this noodle.

After finishing Wanniang's first bowl of noodles, she asked for another bowl for her son Chaosheng. The people who bought the noodles had already blocked the outside of the powder shop. Wanniang saw the two brothers standing in the middle of the crowd busy. I couldn't help laughing, turned my head and said to the customer in the store: "I just saw these two children came out to work at a young age and wanted to help them. I didn't think about it, but I really did the right thing."

The man also boasted: "This craftsmanship is really good, did you do it yourself?"

Qiao Ling was running over to collect the bowl, when he heard the words, he whispered, "My brother made it all himself."

Wan Niang also nodded: "I asked his brother just now, and he said he did it by himself."

The man was very surprised: "This ability is not small."

Qiao Ling couldn't hold back, and showed off to the two: "My brother can cook and eat a lot, besides noodles, there are many more."

The man laughed, "That's good, your brother knows so much, why don't you open a shop?"

Because there was no money, Qiao Ling shook his head and added in a low voice in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, and nodded at the two with a bowl in his hand, and then went back to Qiao Yu's side.

Lu Jincheng crossed the alley and walked slowly towards the West Street Tavern, Sanqi followed behind, turning his head around to look.

"Grandpa, why is there a scent that goes straight into people's noses?"

Without turning his head, Lu Jincheng said, "Are you thinking about other things besides eating?"

Sanqi rolled her eyes, and said flatteringly, "I'm still pretending to be Master Fourteen."

Lu Jincheng is very familiar with the temperament of his own servant boy. He has a slippery mouth. He has been with him since he was a child, and he doesn't know who he learned this temperament from.

The two of them turned the corner and were about to reach the tavern, when they heard Sanqi yelling again: "Look, sir, those people are shopping around there, does the smell come from there? I don't know what to sell."

Lu Jincheng didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but after he glanced over there, he saw a young man in blue clothes in the crowd. He had a very good-looking face, and he stood out from the crowd.

Lu Jincheng had only seen this face twice, but he was very familiar with it. He didn't know why, probably because this person contradicted him the day he first met.

Lu Jincheng curled his lips slightly in thought, and said to Shitong Sanqi, "Don't you want to see what he sells? You go to the tavern and wait, I'll go and see."

How could Sanqi dare to let his master outside alone, but before he had time to say anything, he saw that Lu Jincheng had lifted his legs and left.

Although he dared to make jokes in front of Lu Jincheng on weekdays, he knew exactly what kind of temper his master had. If he really wanted to order something, he wouldn't dare not refuse to lend him a hundred courage, so he had to take it back. Wanting to follow, he turned his head three times and walked towards the tavern.

Grandpa, what did you see?Sanqiyi was puzzled, seeing that Lu Jincheng had already moved away from his sight.

Lu Jincheng walked slowly to the small car surrounded by the crowd, first stared at Qiao Yu in the crowd, and then looked at this strange car, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and said: " Give me a bowl of this too."

Qiao Yu kept her feet on the ground in a hurry, and said without raising her head when she heard the words: "I'm sorry, this last bowl has just been put into the pot, and it's gone."
