Chapter 156

"Uncle, don't worry. I've already thought of a way. In a few days, we'll wait until the room is filled with vermicelli."

Xia Xi said that although the village head was worried, it was not good to urge him any more, and then he went to collect sweet potatoes.

A few days later, the vermicelli dried one after another and piled up all over the house.

On this day, Xia Xi didn't return to the villa. When Zhu and LAN Er came back in the evening, they went to find two people, "tomorrow you will follow me to the stall."

"Do you still sell boiled fish?"

Lan'er asked pleasantly.

"We don't sell this time, we'll give it away!"

Xia Xi this word falls, pillar and LAN Er look at each other, don't know what medicine Xia Xi gourd sells.

The next day, the coachman drove the carriage, the pillar sat on the other side, Xia Xi and Lan'er, Qi'er and Hu Zi sat in the carriage, followed by an ox cart, which was full of vermicelli.

When they come to the market in the county, Zhu and Lan'er get out of the carriage and go to master Zhang's house to pull the cart for holding things. Xia Xi leads the ox cart to the place where she sells boiled fish.

This place has been empty, and no one dares to use it. Even if some new salesmen occupy it, some people tell him that this place belongs to lady Xia, and the stall fee has been paid early, so the salesmen move away quickly.

When Xia Xi comes, people who often set up stalls around say hello to her one after another, "Lady Xia, are you here?"

"Lady Xia, if you don't come these days, I'm greedy. You must sell me your first bowl of boiled fish today."

"Yes, since we ate your boiled fish, everything we ate is tasteless. Today, I not only eat it, but also bring one back to my family. My son has been quarreling for several days, and he has to eat your boiled fish."

……

Xia Xiyang raised his voice, "everyone, I'm going to disappoint you today. I don't sell boiled fish today!"

"Don't sell boiled fish? So you are

People asked questions one after another, and their eyes fell on the vermicelli of the ox cart behind her.

"As for me, I've figured out a new kind of food. Today I'll bring it to you for free. After eating, I'll give you a suggestion."

"And the good thing?"

People immediately boiling, their business has no intention to do, always pay attention to the movement here.

Aunt Zhang didn't see Xia Xi for some time. She heard something moving in the backyard and came out to see it happily. She saw that it was Zhu and Lan'er, and she said with a smile, "where's Xia Xi?"

"She's gone to the market. Let's pull the cart. Aunt, sister-in-law, she is making cabbage stewed vermicelli in the market today for people to eat for free. If you have nothing to do at home, you can follow us to have a taste. "

"That's a good feeling."

Smile back to Aunt Zhang, "you wait for me, I go back to the room to change clothes."

"Don't worry. The things have been stored for such a long time. They are not dirty. We just wipe them. Please change them slowly“

……

At the market, Xia Xi spread a piece of cloth on the ground and asked the driver of the ox cart to help unload the vermicelli and give him the money.

The driver's daughter-in-law works in the workshop and refuses to ask for anything. "Lady Xia, I'll take the money from you. When I get back, my mother-in-law has to fight with me. Don't be hard on me."

"That's fine."

Xia Xi put away the copper, "thank you very much."

The driver waved his hand and drove the ox cart out of the market.

"Qi'er, hu'zi, look, don't run around. I'll buy some meat."

Qi'er and Hu Zi nodded cleverly.

Xia Xi went to buy a large piece of fat meat, and along the way bought cabbage and firewood, let people send it. When she came back, Zhu and Lan'er also came. She had put the tables, chairs and benches in place, and set up the big pot.

Aunt Zhang came here wearing a new dress and carrying a box of snacks.

At the moment, she sat at a table, watching Qi'er and Hu Zi eat snacks. The smile on her face couldn't cover up. It was just the expression of her grandson.

"Auntie."

Xia Xi smiles and shouts.

Aunt Zhang looked over with a smile and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to cook for free today. I'll join in the fun."

"Well, thank you for your support."

Aunt Zhang laughs, "what do you thank me for? It's obviously me who has touched the light."

Xia Xi steps did not stop, to the pot, "then you sit first, wait for me to talk with you after busy."

"You are busy. Just let these two children accompany me."

Let Lan'er peel a few cabbages and cut them into small pieces. Xia Xi cuts the fat completely.

Everyone is paying attention to the movement here.

Xia Xi actually bought such a big piece of fat to cut, and everyone didn't even have the mind to do business. He opened his eyes and looked this way, thinking that if it was cooked, he would be the first to rush up and eat a big bowl.

When the column was on fire and the pot was hot, Xia Xi poured in the oil. When the temperature difference of the oil was not much, she poured some fat meat into the pot. After the sound of "tingla La", the meat came out of the pot. Whether it was sellers or market goers, they were sniffing.

"Oh my God, it's so sweet!"

Talking about it, I gathered around and surrounded the stall in front of me. The business people around me were so anxious that they were afraid that they would not be able to grab it for a while. They took things to cover up their stall at will and followed me.

What Xia Xi wants is this kind of effect. She pours the cabbage into the pot. After frying, she adds water, and then turns around to pick up a bunch of noodles. She unties the rope and grabs a few handfuls to put them into the pot. "

"What is this?"

Someone can't help asking.

No one had seen it, and they shook their heads. "I don't know. I've never eaten it."

"I haven't either."

Xia Xi put the vermicelli in the pot, put the seasoning, and covered the pot. Then she raised her voice to the public, "this is vermicelli. It's a new kind of food. When stewing, you can add it to it as I did just now. You can also take it out for cooking alone."

The crowd was surprised again.

Aunt Zhang sits on one side with a smile, knowing that Xia Xi's vermicelli business is going to be hot.

That day, her son went back with vermicelli and told her how to do it. That night, she couldn't wait to make a stew. It was very delicious and tasted like never before.

In this cold winter, no matter farmers or rich families, there are no good ingredients. Now, once this vermicelli comes out, it will certainly be in short supply.

When the water was boiling, the fragrance came out of the pot, and the sound of people sniffing became loud. Some of them were familiar with Xia Xi, but they couldn't wait. They began to shout, "Lady Xia, if you're done, you'll kill me."

Some of them sniffed and yelled, "what's this dish and how much is it for a bowl?"

Xia Xi's voice is high, over their voice, "today's dish is free for everyone to eat, but we have to wait a little while, and the vermicelli needs to be cooked a little longer."

"Don't cook it."

Some people are really greedy and can't stand it, shouting, "we can still eat raw, don't say it's already boiling."

When he said this, many people nodded and agreed, "yes, yes."

Xia Xi can't laugh or cry, "everyone is a little calm, soon familiar, or the old rules, everyone line up, one by one, no looting."

Her words fall, everybody you push me to push, nobody is willing to go behind.

Several people from song and Ming Dynasties came to the market to collect stall fees.

These days, because Mr. Zhang went to help and didn't follow, these people were lazy and didn't come until this time.

Step into the market, smell the fragrance, a few people's eyes are suddenly bright, booth fees are not charged, come quickly.

As soon as I saw that Xia Xi was coming out of the stall, the people in front of the stall were noisy, and immediately glared at her. She was vicious and said, "all line up, line up!"

Most people recognize them, dare not squeeze, obediently back to the back to line up.

Song Ming nodded and said, "Lady Xia, are you going out again today?"

Xia Xi didn't reply and asked, "have you had breakfast?"

Song Ming took a look at the fragrant cauldron and swallowed his saliva

Aunt Zhang laughed and scolded, "little son of a bitch, if you've eaten it, you've eaten it. If you haven't eaten it, you haven't eaten it. What do you mean?"

Song Ming saw Aunt Zhang, immediately bumping in the past, "aunt, are you old?"

Then he scratched his head with a smile and said, "I'm not greedy. I'm afraid big brother will tell us where we are."

"If you don't eat, just sit down and eat. Today is free."

"Really?"

As soon as Song Ming's eyes brightened, he sat down impolitely. He did not forget to greet other people. "You didn't hear my mother's words. Come and sit down."

Several people also bumped over and sat at the same table.

Xia Xi shakes her head with a smile, opens the lid of the pot, and the smell comes out, and the sound of sniffing is loud again.

Xia Xi first served a bowl to Aunt Zhang, and carried it in person, "aunt, try it."

Aunt Zhang was not polite either. She took the chopsticks handed over by Lan'er, lowered her head and took a big bite. She nodded with satisfaction, "delicious."

Song Ming swallowed his saliva and wished he could stand up and go to Sheng.

Xia Xi returned to the pot table and filled four small bowls. She motioned Lan'er to bring them to several people. She said in a loud voice, "although it's free today, it's not free to eat. Everyone has a small bowl. No matter whether they have enough or not, they can't go back to the bowl again. If you hear me clearly, I'll start to serve you now."

"Listen up."

All the people in the queue echoed in unison. The voice was so loud that it could be heard above half of the county.

Lan'er holds a pile of bowls. Xia Xi begins to give them a small bowl for each person. The one who gets it first sits at the table to eat. If there is no ground behind, he simply goes to squat down and eats delicious.

The people in the back row looked at the way they ate. They were greedy. They stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look forward.

Some people eat fast, meaning more than enough, holding a bowl, "Xia Niang Zi, how much is your stew bowl, I buy a bowl."

"Sorry, today we only let people eat for free, no money. If you still want to eat, you'd better buy some noodles and go back to make it yourself."

The diner brightened his eyes, "do you sell this vermicelli?"

"Of course, I have a vermicelli shop at home. It's for sale. The price is 15 Wen / kg. But if you want to buy it today, I'll give you a discount of 10 Wen / kg. After two days, I'll return to the original price. And this vermicelli can be stored for a long time. Now you can buy it back, or you can wait until the new year to entertain relatives and friends. "

This person did not have any hesitation, "give me two Jin."

It's cold in winter. Besides cabbage, there are no vegetables at home. My family are tired of eating them. This vermicelli can be improved just by buying it back.

"Good."

Xia Xi put down the bowl, turned back and took two small bundles for him, "it's all weighed at home, just two Jin, you take it."

The man caught it, paid 20 Wen and left contentedly.

If there is one, there will be two. The adults will follow and buy one,

"I'll take a kilo."

"I'll give you five Jin."

"I'll take two Jin."

……

Before noon, all the noodles were sold out.

Aunt Zhang looked at Xia Xi from the beginning to the end with a smile. She went to help her and said with a smile, "Xia Xi, you've been tired all morning. At noon, I'll go to my mother's house and make delicious food for you."

"Aunt, I can't do it today. The village head is still waiting for my news. I have to go back to the village and tell him, and prepare for the sale tomorrow."

"Well, I know you are busy, but I don't ask you. I'll come back tomorrow to help you."

Xia Xi is not good to refuse, said with a smile, "thank you very much."

Aunt Zhang waved her hand and happily asked Song Ming to take her home.

……

The village head is really looking forward to it.

Sweet potatoes are not in the mood to close, from time to time toward the village road, the heart of the old high. If this vermicelli is sold today, the whole village will have hope. If it is not sold

The village head didn't dare to think about it. He was more and more worried. He simply said to the sweet potato seller, "I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest for a while. What you want to sell, wait first. If you don't want to sell it, carry it back and come back tomorrow. "

With that, without waiting for the villagers to respond, he strode out of the village with his hand on his back.

Anxiously walking back and forth, the village road must be smooth, only to see the carriage back.

At this time, regardless of anything, strode up, shouting, "pillar!"

The pillar sat in front of the carriage. Hearing the cry, he jumped down from the carriage and trotted over, "village head, what's the matter?"

The head of the village held his hand tightly behind him, feeling urgent and nervous. "How's the vermicelli selling?"

"Sold out!"

"Sold out?"

The village head asked in disbelief and turned to look at the carriage.

The carriage has already arrived in front of the two people. The coachman stops. Xia Xi hears the movement, opens the curtain of the carriage and says with a smile, "it's sold out. There's nothing left."

As soon as the village head's heart fell back, he turned two circles excitedly in the same place, "that's great, that's great!"

With that, he turned and ran back in a hurry.

Zhu was puzzled, "village head, this is..."

"I have to go back and get the sweet potatoes!"

Xia Xi couldn't smile. She shook her head and put down the curtain.

……

Luochen mountain villa.

Feng Che stares at the calendar on the wall and looks at it for a long time, "Feng an."

Feng an came in, "young master."

"How many days have I been ill since last time?"

Feng an was stunned for a moment, and then said, "the whole month."

"So fast?"

The breeze Che low Nan a.
