    When she arrived at Sister-in-law Xie's house, Sister-in-law Xie was carrying the purchased ingredients and was going to work at her place. When she saw Li Hehua coming over, she was surprised, "Sister Lotus, why are you here? I'm just about to go to your place to work."

    Li Hehua said, "Don't be in a hurry, sister-in-law. I'm here to discuss something with you and Xiaoyuan. Is Xiaoyuan at home?"

    Sister-in-law Xie said "Ah", "Looking for Xiaoyuan? He's here." Then she invited Li Hehua in.

    Xie Yuan was chopping firewood in the yard, sweating profusely. When he saw Li Hehua coming in, he stopped his movements and said with a smile, "Aunt Hehua, are you here?"

    Li Hehua nodded with a smile.

    Sister-in-law Xie asked, "Sister, what are you looking for with me and Xiaoyuan?"

    Li Hehua didn't make any detours, and said directly: "Xie sister-in-law, it's like this, my stall is too busy right now, and I'm short of manpower, so I'm thinking of recruiting another junior. I think Xiaoyuan is pretty good, so I just want to ask Would you like to let Xiaoyuan come to help me? If you and Xiaoyuan agree, the salary will be calculated as twenty cents a day, from morning to afternoon."

    Sister-in-law Xie was stunned, and Xie Yuan was also stunned.

    Li Hehua continued: "Sister-in-law, you can't sit down and rest in this job, you have to keep moving, other things don't need any effort, it's very suitable for Xiaoyuan, the current Xiaoer on my stall is about the same size as Xiaoyuan. ."

    Sister-in-law Xie's face showed obvious joy, "Sister Lotus, are you serious? Do you really want my Xiaoyuan to help you?"

    Xie Yuan also looked at Li Hehua eagerly.

    Li Hehua nodded, "If you and Xiaoyuan agree, then Xiaoyuan will go and help me."

    Sister-in-law Xie and Xie Yuan looked at each other, and both of them had obvious joy in their eyes. Sister-in-law Xie grabbed Li Hehua's hand and thanked: "Sister, we can't ask for such a good thing, sister-in-law is so grateful to you, thank you for thinking about my family Xiaoyuan, I don't know how to thank you, Xiaoyuan, Come and thank you Aunt Lotus."

    Xie Yuan put the axe down, wiped his hands on his body a little embarrassedly, came over and thanked Li Hehua very sincerely: "Thank you, Aunt Lotus, I will do it well!"

    It seems that Sister Xie and Xiaoyuan both want to do this job, so that's fine. Li Hehua said: "No need to thank, thank you, I found him only when Xiaoyuan can do it."

    Sister-in-law Xie was a little excited, "I want to thank you, if you didn't think about my family Xiaoyuan, how could he have this opportunity? Xiaoer is a hard-to-find job. Before, Xiaoyuan wanted to go out to find work to support the family, but it's a pity they I don't think he's too young or too thin, and they don't want him. Those restaurant runners and shop assistants are all relatives of people they know in the restaurant, and it doesn't matter that they don't want him at all."

    Xie Yuan also remembered the various rejections he encountered when looking for work, and his eyes were sad. If someone wanted him, he could work to subsidize the family, and his mother didn't have to work so hard. Now Aunt Hehua is willing to ask him to help at the stall, which is a good thing that he could never dream of. In the future, he will be able to get wages. With more income in the family, life will be better.

    At this moment, Xie Yuan was extremely grateful to Li Hehua, and even swore in his heart that he would work hard and not disappoint Aunt Lotus.

    Li Hehua patted his sister-in-law's hand, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't thank me, then we'll settle it, and let Xiaoyuan go to the stall from tomorrow."

    After everything was settled, Li Hehua went home with Sister Xie to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow.

    Now that have recruited another person, the manpower is enough. Li Hehua intends to add two new types of food. Although some types are not single, they are not too many. After a long time, the guests will not feel fresh. One or two new ones will have to be added over time.

    She had thought about it before, and planned to add a Mala Fragrant Pot and another Mala Tang. won’t say these two things are delicious. The important thing is that they are very easy to make. As long as the vegetables and meat are ready for use, they can be cooked directly in the pot when the customer orders. It is not as laborious as fried rice and fried noodles, and it can be used by several people. Eating together is similar to ordering food in a restaurant, but it is much cheaper.

    However, for the sake of convenience, she will not let customers choose dishes at will, like the special Mala Fragrant Pot and Mala Tang restaurants, which is too troublesome and not suitable for her current small stall. . She is going to prepare the dishes directly. The only difference is that the amount is different. There are three kinds of large amount, small amount and medium amount. Guests can order different amounts according to their needs, and the price will naturally vary according to the amount.

    As for the taste, it can be divided into three types, mild spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy, which can be controlled during the stew.

    Li Hehua ordered four kinds of meat dishes and six kinds of vegetables according to common modern dishes. The meat dishes include fillet slices, fat slices and pork meatballs plus a homemade sausage; the vegetarian dishes include lotus root slices, potato slices, blood succulent, green vegetables, and fungus. and noodles. These ingredients are easy to prepare and convenient to make, so Li Hehua plans to use these dishes for the time being.

    However, a malatang and a fragrant pot contain a lot of meat, so the price is naturally a bit more expensive than ordinary snacks. Most people estimate that they can only eat it once in a while, so Li Hehua's two dishes are basically for those who have more Those who enjoy the appetite with money are also those from the past businessmen. As long as these people are delicious, they don't care about the money, and they are naturally willing to buy them. There are many of Li Hehua's current customers.

    As for customers with ordinary economy, Li Hehua plans to add duck blood fans and beef fans. She can make the fans herself and make it at one time. When the customers order, she can cook it directly. As long as the soup base and seasonings are ready, it will be simple and easy. convenient.

    Thinking of adding new dishes, Li Hehua made a pot of spicy incense pot in the evening. She and Shulin and Sister-in-law Xie shared one, and served it with white rice.

    Li Hehua couldn't enjoy it himself, and Shulin even ate two bowls of rice in one go, and his stomach was bulging.

    In the end, the three of them ate the whole pot of Mala Fragrant Pot, and even the soup base was gone.

    Shulin uncontrollably punched a burp, hiccup with the small body Yi Chan, almost did not take to live, to see people laugh, Li Hehua reached out to hold him in my arms from the bench, rubbing his belly to he digest, "you little fool, what to eat so much, do not give your mother but you do not."

    Shulin was rubbing too has hit a hiccup, then squint, it is to enjoy.

    Xie sister-in-law also while rubbing his belly, rubbing the side of his mouth: "Do not say Shulin, even I could not help but also to eat so much, you do what pot it is really so good, I did not expect a few dishes but also so direct mixed together, but the taste is so good, sister, how every time you do something so delicious it all. "

    Li Hehua laugh: "Xie sister-in-law, this incense pot is actually very simple, it is important to heat and flavor, especially taste, different people do it tastes different, it tastes good tune, will be very good to eat."

    Xie sister-in-law laments: "You say simple, but to do good which so easily ah, if I like you, that everyone can shop, anyway, I was not, I do not see you doing so many days eating a , go home and try to have done, but unfortunately, ah, the taste is simply far worse, wasted flour. "

    Li Hehua Xie sister-in-law was amused.

    Tomorrow the little guy going to the academy, Li Hehua remembered the little guy to lunch tomorrow, down the arms of the villain children asked said: "? Shulin, tonight it's delicious incense pot"

    Little guy slightly amused eyes open, nodded.

    Hong delicious pot.

    Li Hehua small scratch his nose, "that your mother give you a pot of tomorrow do you bring school to eat, but also to the way Master Jin Showa try new dishes in our house, okay?"

    Xiangyebuxiang little guy nodded.

    "Well, tomorrow your mother give you a spicy incense pot, and Jin Zhao then give you a person with a red bean cake and sponge cake, you give twenty-one man with an apple, good or bad."

    The little guy's eyes as bright as the stars.

    The next day, Li Hehua get up early, the first thing to do Zhao Jin Shulin and incense pot.

    I'm not in school books of these three days, care of the old woman's house every day to buy Master eat with her back to the stall, she is now familiar with the old woman, the woman would often talk to her, she told Li Hehua, because the book I'm not here to eat with Jin Zhao eat together, the little guy to a meal points to scratching, clamor for his younger brother asked Shulin come back, many times a day to ask corpuscles, then also asked to eat Li Hehua do something, so she had to come to the little guy to buy food to eat every day.

    Li Hehua think they thought it was funny, reckoned Gujin Zhao little guy now almost want to die their Letter to the forest.

    She had better do today that two little guys eat together now, appetite is very impressive, plus the Master Gu adult men appetite, finally, Li Hehua whole made a big pot, and then loaded on a bucket of rice, enough for three people to eat belly round and smooth.

    Things ready, Li Hehua go to school on sending Shulin, the results just step out the door, he saw a tall figure at the gate, who is not Tieshan Yes.

    Li Hehua steps meal, heart jumping a beat, holding down Shulin little hand around him, pretending not to.

    Shulin winked look back Tieshan.

    Tieshan sip Min Chun, with Shulin blinked, then slowly walked behind with Li Hehua, keeping a distance of three steps, has been with outside school.

    Outside school, Jin Gu standing at the door, to see Li Hehua book with a forest, nodded smile, "come ah."

    Li Hehua is preparing to speak, suddenly rushed out of the school a small figure from the inside, like a gust of wind blowing in general, did not react in time Li Hehua the book will be a forest hugged.

    "Ah - Shulin, you finally come back I want you dead, you heartless, even three days do not come to school so you threw me three days wow!!!"

    Li Hehua: "...... Keke." Play a lot.

    Many Shulin shorter than Gujin Zhao, also lost a lot, at the moment he could not move tightly in his arms, his arms can only push lightly about, but somehow a little pathetic.

    Gu Jin very helpless, came to carry the Gujin Zhao open, releasing poor little Shulin, chestnuts and a knock on the head of Gujin Zhao, "etiquette white school, Za Za whistling all day long."

    Gujin Zhao indifference, pout and said:. "I do not want to Shulin Well, so little enthusiasm for the point"

    Gu Jin light sweep at him, "I see you are eating Shulin bring think about it?"

    Gujin Zhao "Keke" twice, looking a bit unnatural, said:. "Oh, I think about passing, in fact, I still want to book the main forest" Then, looking at the book Lin seriously: "The Shulin, in fact, I most want is you. "

    Shulin blinked, turned and ran to Li Hehua's side to hug her thigh.

    Li Hehua felt that Shulin probably felt that he couldn't understand the outside world, so it was better to hug his mother's thigh.

    Gu Jinzhao saw that Lin didn't receive and didn't care about the letter of his heart, and his eyes turned to the food box that Li Hehua was holding in his hand. His eyes flashed quickly, and he almost swallowed.

    Li Hehua was almost dying of laughter.

    After admiring the little guy Gu Jinzhao while talking and secretly looking at the food box in her hand, Li He decided not to torture him anymore, and simply handed him the food box in his hand, "Jinzhao, This is the food that my aunt made for you and Shulin, today is the new food on the stall, you are the first guests."

    Gu Jinzhao's eyes flashed and he said, "Auntie, you've worked hard, thank you auntie." He had already taken the food box with his hand unceremoniously.

    Li Hehua smiled and patted the little guy on his lap, "Shulin, let's go to class with Jin Zhao and the Master. Mother will pick you up when you get off school."

    The little guy rubbed on Li Hehua's leg reluctantly, and after a while, he let go of his hand. He was held by Master Gu and walked into the classroom, looking back at her as he walked, until he disappeared into the classroom.

    Li Hehua turned around and went back. The first thing he saw was Zhang Tieshan who was standing not far behind her. He pursed his lips and walked by without speaking.

    Zhang Tieshan followed her quietly, never saying a word until Li Hehua set up a stall and started doing business, but when he encountered something that Li Hehua couldn't move, he would step forward to help, and Li Hehua would ignore what he said.

    Li Hehua was helpless and could only ignore him.

    With the addition of Xiaoyuan, the manpower is not so tight. Seeing that Zhang Tieshan wants to help as always, Li Hehua quickly stopped him and said: "Zhang Tieshan, I have recruited a new guy here, I have enough people, I don't need your help, you If you have to help, I will pay you wages, and if you don't want wages, don't do it."

    Zhang Tieshan frowned, feeling a little unspeakable in his heart. After a while, he slowly put down the things in his hand and stepped aside.

    Li Hehua was also a little uncomfortable. She knew that he wanted to help her, but she made up her mind to reject him. If she still asked him to help, who would she be? So, that's it, after a few more times, he will be pissed off by her attitude, and then it will be fine.

    Li Hehua forced himself not to think about it or watch it, and concentrated on recommending his new food.

    To promote new food, someone must take the lead in eating it, so Li Hehua recommended it to an old customer who often came. This old guest's family is doing business, and now the business is handed over to his son, he enjoys leisurely and leisurely, the old man usually has no hobbies, just a little, delicious. He especially likes to eat delicious food. If others say something delicious, he will definitely try it. Since the first time he accidentally came to her stall for a meal, he has come every three days since then, not only Eat it by yourself, and take it away.

    It can be said that the old man is a loyal fan of Li Hehua.

    When Li Hehua saw the old man coming, he said to him, "Old man, I have added three new foods to my store today. Would you like to try it?"

    The old man was really interested and said, "Girl, tell me in detail, what's new?"

    Li Hehua introduced the three new foods carefully.

    With the introduction of Li Hehua, the old man became more and more interested, and said, "That girl, what kind of incense pot do you make for me, I'll try it."

    Li Hehua nodded, "Okay, old man, if you eat alone, then make the smallest portion. Then I remember that you are not very fond of spicy food, so add a little more spicy food, okay?"

    The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, remember my taste very clearly."

    Li Hehua smiled, "That's right, you are my regular customer, can you forget it? Old man, go and sit down, the incense pot will be ready soon."

    There were many people around listening to the two of them talking, and naturally they heard the three new foods that Li Hehua said. Everyone was very curious, but most people did not dare to try it first. Ordered one, and everyone around was waiting to see what it was like.

    Li Hehua quickly took out a portion of the prepared incense pot ingredients, turned on the fire, added oil and seasoning, and then simmered it. After a while, a spicy incense pot was ready, because there was no time to order a small portion. So Li Hehua temporarily put the vegetables in a soup bowl and brought them to the old man, plus a portion of white rice.

    "Master, this is your incense pot, you can try it."

    The old man smelled the fragrance first, and felt that it tasted great. It was more fragrant than the fried rice bowl he had eaten before, and it looked more appetizing, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish into his mouth.

    The old man chewed slowly and swallowed it for a long time. Then, without saying a word, he took a mouthful of white rice into his mouth, and once again took a chopstick and ate it into his mouth. Although it was still slow, the enjoyment expression on his face could even fool a fool. figure it out.

    It is very satisfying without looking at it.

    The old man ate three mouthfuls in a row, then stopped for a while, and said to Li Hehua: "Girl, you do a good job of this fragrant pot! There are many kinds of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, and they are delicious!"

    This old man has always been conservative in his speech, and he doesn't like to praise others easily. Even if he was eating other food before, he could only get one sentence that was not bad. Now that he can get one sentence "delicious", it can be seen that the old man is very satisfied.

    Li Hehua was relieved and went back to cook.

    Others saw what the incense pot looked like, and heard the old man's comments, and they were moved. Many old guests from good families followed and asked for a portion. Some people heard that Mala Tang was similar to the incense pot, so they asked for it. Come to a Mala Tang, and for a while, Li Hehua's two new foods are selling well.

    However, fragrant hot pot and malatang are more expensive, and some people are reluctant to eat it, so they have to try Li Hehua's fans, so this fan sells well. In general, today's three new foods are launched.

    Because of the addition of these three new foods, today's business is particularly good. After noon, the talents on the stall gradually dispersed for more than an hour, and only a few people could completely rest.

    In addition to being tired, several people were too hungry, Da He swallowed his saliva and said: "Aunt Lotus, I smelled this incense pot and Mala Tang for a long time today. , you can make us one for lunch too."

    Although Xiaoyuan didn't speak, he looked at Li Hehua's eyes full of anticipation. This kid probably wants to eat too.

    Li Hehua patted the table, "Okay, Aunt Lotus will definitely satisfy you with this requirement, so I'll do it for you."

    Dahe and Xiaoyuan both laughed.

    Li Hehua also laughed, but looking at Zhang Tieshan who was quietly at the side of the stall, he couldn't laugh anymore.
