Chapter 19
Chen Nianguan had no choice but to ask someone to help, dragged him into a donkey cart, and sent him to the hospital first. After hearing the doctor's examination, he said that he was fine.
Tsk tsk, Bai has such a handsome face, yet he is still hungry?Don't you know that people rely on their faces for food?
After diagnosing that the patient was fine, the doctor poured some porridge water and treated the wound on his forehead, and asked her to take him away. Chen Nianguan could only take him back to Yanlai Lane.
Mrs. Liu was startled when she saw that her eldest daughter had brought back a comatose husband from her trip, and she felt sympathetic when she heard her explain the origin of Zhang Yulang.
Living in a coastal village is not good, like her natal Liujia Village, which is close to the inland, but isn't it victimized by exiled pirates?Natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be avoided anywhere.
"He is pitiful, but you can't take people home casually." Liu Shi helped drag Zhang Yulang into a washed room in the west wing, "Don't forget that we are just mother and daughter, orphansWidowed mother, if this person has a bad heart, how can we be good?"
Chen Nianguan glanced at Zhang Yulang who was lying on the bed, "He is an acquaintance of Master Ming Hai."
"Master Ming Hai?"
When she heard that she was a friend of Master Ming Hai, Liu's attitude softened a lot.
That's the savior of Wan Wan's family, and he gave them so many things to make them rich. Master Ming Hai's acquaintances are their acquaintances, no matter how bad they are, they can't be so bad.
The two mother and daughter went out with a sigh, not noticing that Zhang Yulang who was lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes, thoughtful.
When Chen Nianguan put the donkey cart away, Liu had already soaked the rice to be ground tomorrow, and Chen Nianguan moved the things he had brought back from the donkey cart.
After washing the fifty sets of bowls and chopsticks, unfolded the rectangular table and tried to sit aside and use it.
"Should we still set up a stall in the old place tomorrow?" Liu Shi asked.
Even now, they are still renting mobile stalls. The place is narrow and cramped. If they sell hor fun, they may not be able to accommodate tables, chairs and carts. They may need to occupy two stalls.
"Let's move into the pier and find out if there is a larger mobile booth!" If it doesn't work, then rent two mobile booths.
"Wan Wan, Auntie has something to ask for your opinion."
What Mrs. Liu wanted to say was that a regular stall owner at the pier came to her today, saying that something had happened at home, and she was in a hurry to go back to the northwest, so she didn't plan to come back, so she asked them if they were interested in buying his stall.
Chen Nianguan remembered that the stall owner Liu said was selling caramel cakes. The stall was relatively close to the pier, and it was close to the intersection of the three roads, and it was on the east side. This is the best for Chen Nianguan’s stall.of.
Because the people who go east are usually people who should have a little money, and the vegetarian rice noodles they sell are two pennies more expensive than ordinary plain noodles. Among the people who go east, there are many potential customers who buy their rice noodles.
For them, this is the ideal booth.
It's just that when you sell out of a fixed stall, you always have to pay a transfer fee. The transfer fee offered by the stall owner is fifteen taels of silver.
But Chen Nianguan doesn’t have so much silver on hand now. He used to spend only five taels. Recently, because the weather is getting colder, diners like to eat hot food, so fish rot is not as easy to sell as before. He earned about seven taels in total.It's only twelve taels in total.
There is no transfer fee of fifteen taels at all.
Chen Nianguan thought for a while, and said, "Auntie, go and ask. If he is really in a hurry and wants to transfer the booth, it may be possible to negotiate without fifteen taels."
Originally, the booth was first-come, first-served and did not belong to anyone. The transfer fee was because the fixed stall owner had been working for a long time, and it was agreed that the next stall owner would pay it.
On the same day, Mrs. Liu went to find the stall owner to bargain and pay more, and finally bought the right to use the stall with twelve taels of silver. Now Chen Nianguan has no copper coins on hand, and can only hope that he will open the stall tomorrow.Good start.
Chen Nianguan took a look at the location and found that the rectangular table could fit in the stall cart, and there was an old tree next to it that could just tie a donkey to park the donkey cart. It was a stall tailor-made for them.
It's just that at the end of each month, you have to pay a stall fee of three taels to the county government.
However, the taste test has proved that there is a great market for hor fun, especially in the late autumn weather. Both merchants and boat passengers want to eat a bowl of steaming food. Soup noodles and fried noodles are suitable for this condition, and they are also fresh and delicious.
A mere three taels of silver is nothing.
The Liu mother and daughter, who have calculated the profit of the rice noodles, are full of confidence.
Now that the weather is getting colder, they don't eat at Sifangtai in the courtyard, but move into the main room.
Before dinner, Chen Nianguan went to the West Wing to see if Zhang Yulang was awake.
Of course Zhang Yulang woke up. He apologized repeatedly and thanked Chen Nianguan for saving him. When he asked if he had another place to stay, Zhang Yulang covered the lower half of his face with one hand in embarrassment and blushed.
Chen Nianguan saw him being thrown on the street with her own eyes, and saw him faint from hunger, so she naturally knew that he was in poverty, but she was not a philanthropist.
After all, they are three mothers and daughters living a life, too busy to take care of themselves, and have no spare time to take care of an outsider.
Liu's worry is also right, to take in a big man, no matter how good-looking the man is, if the orphans and widows live with him, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding if it is spread, and it will not be good for the three of them.
Besides, it is necessary to be defensive, they kindly take him in, how do they know that he is not a Zhongshan wolf?
So Chen Nianguan directly stated that it is okay to stay for a day or two, but he must leave after two days.
Zhang Yulang saw that Chen Nianguan didn't intend to keep anyone at all, and he didn't get angry at all, "To tell the truth, Miss Chen, I came to Funing County with two intentions, one is to find Uncle Zhou, and the other is to hear that Master Ming Hai is hereDafeng Temple outside the city. Since Uncle Zhou doesn’t want to see me right now, I will go to seek refuge with Master Ming Hai tomorrow.”
The news about this person seems to be delayed, even Master Ming Hai didn't know that he had left Funing County.
Sure enough, after she told Zhang Yulang the news, he was stunned for a long time before saying, "Then, what should I do?"
A big man actually asked such words, how did she know what he was going to do?
"Miss Chen, I'm penniless right now, and I really have no other place to go, can you show kindness and take me in for a while?" Zhang Yulang looked at Chen Nianguan and smiled wryly, "When I find a way out, I will...???Leave immediately, don't trouble you."
Chen Nianguan really wanted to say something tough, but facing that handsome face wrapped in cloth bandages, he looked at her pitifully like a wounded little wolf dog, and thinking of his previous embarrassment, compassion prevailed.
Tsk, wake up, Yangou has no future!
But she didn't say anything, struggled a little, left the dinner brought to Zhang Yulang, and left silently.
Back in the main room, Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan were waiting for her to have dinner together.
"How? That Mr. Zhang is awake?"
Chen Nianguan nodded.
"Is it better? Since he's hungry, let him eat enough to give him strength, so don't worry about it!" Liu originally criticized Chen Nianguan for leaving Zhang Yulang behind, but he brought it back without him, so he just hoped for himGet well soon and take the initiative to leave.
"Don't worry, Auntie! He is injured now, let him stay for a few days, if he doesn't leave after a few days, I will find a way to let him go." Chen Nianguan told Auntie and his sister to rest assured to eat.
Tomorrow is the first day of selling rice noodles, and that is their business.
In the past, Yinshi got up to kill fish and smash fish eggs, but now he gets up to make rice noodles.
Fortunately, bought a donkey. Pho noodles are easier to make than fish rot. Before get up early in the morning, let the donkey grind it first. If the Pho wants to be delicious, it must be eaten as soon as possible after it is freshly baked. It cannot be left overnight or left for too long.Will affect the taste.
Mrs. Liu is capable, and now she has fully mastered the method of hor fun. After preparing the match for the stall, Chen Nianguan entrusted her with this task with confidence.
I am in charge of cooking the old hot soup of soup and rice noodles, and then prepare side dishes: chopped radishes, fried eggs, ginger, onion, garlic, sauerkraut, crushed peanuts and other condiments, and a can from the oil jar in the kitchenLard comes out.
Lard is used for fried rice noodles. Soybean oil is too expensive, so fried rice noodles choose to buy pork suet and fry it in lard. This will solve the problem of oil and provide oil residue.
Chen Nianguan's ambition was boosted by the enthusiastic response from the market for a few days of tasting. She planned to set a quota of 50 servings of each type of rice noodles today.To one eight Wen, and then reduce several ingredients to reduce costs.
Among all the ingredients, lard is the most expensive, followed by salt and spices, which are only used in fried rice noodles, and the amount is not much, followed by bones and eggs. As for radish, it costs three catties for two yuan, and othersThe sauerkraut chili peppers and so on, the sauerkraut chili peppers were given by Uncle Liu, and the shallots were picked in the yard.
Hor fun is actually a cooked product. Soup hor fun just needs to be cooked in hot water and then put into hot soup.
And Chen Nianguan usually performs like an old dog on the spot, and often performs supernormally. She is a bold person with a high level of art, and she is not afraid at all.
After Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi got out of the stall cart and put everyone on the donkey cart, and carried Xuan Xuan who was still drowsy on the donkey cart, they saw the door of the west wing opened, and they realized that there was another person at home..
man.
That Zhang Yulang.
"Miss Chen, Mrs. Chen, where are you going?" Zhang Yulang watched as Chen Nianguan picked up the donkey and was about to put it on the carriage.
"Out of the stall!"
"Make a living!"
Chen Nianguan spoke with Liu Shi in unison.
He almost forgot about the character he brought back yesterday, so he couldn't be left alone in the yard.
"Wan Wan!" Mrs. Liu called out to Chen Nianguan, pointing to Xuan Xuan who was sleepy in her arms.
Chen Nianguan nodded slightly.
clear.
Take them away together, just to take care of Xuan Xuan for them.
So Chen Nianguan asked Zhang Yulang to wash up quickly, and then set off with the three of them in a donkey cart.
The author has something to say:
Chen Nianguan: Instead of a worthless author, appeal for a wave, please collect it!Gentlemen!
