Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 13: Beijing dandy


The so-called aroma of hot dishes, the aroma of braised bones, and the aroma of braised meat are cold, and they are not publicized in advance. Only when you put them in your mouth and chew slowly, you will find that the more you chew, the more fragrant they are. But now Ningxi and their stalls are hiding In the corner, there was no tempting fragrance to attract guests, so he could only watch the night market gradually become lively, but his stall was lacking interest, Meng Shuangshuang said anxiously: "What can I do!"

Ning Xi pulled out a piece of pork liver from the pot with a smile, cut it into small pieces on the chopping board, and put it on a plate: "Dear Shuangshuang, thank you for your hard work, take this out and let others try it! "

Meng Shuangshuang's eyes widened: "Don't you want money to be eaten?"

"Otherwise, how would others know that our food is delicious, and why would they come to buy it?"

Meng Shuangshuang thought about it too. She happily carried the plate and went out. She was beautiful and had a sweet smile. She shouted a big brother and a big sister to make people happy. Trying it out, she actually attracted a few guests. Ning Xi had already smartly bought a large stack of lotus leaves from the aunt who was selling pastries next to her, and used them to wrap the lo-mei for the guests.

I came down for half the night, and the big pot of lo mei that I brought out was actually sold for half of it.

Ningxi happily counted the copper plates she received. The small half of the lo-mei sold could be worth the cost of this large pot. What she would sell later would be a net profit. If she can make a hundred wen, the family of three will not have a problem with eating and renting. After saving money every few days, she can make new clothes for Shuangshuang. She looks so good, and it is too aggrieved to always wear these gray clothes. she is. Ozawa's clothes also have to be cut new. Children grow up quickly, so it takes a lot of clothes. The fabrics don't need to be too expensive, as long as they are sturdy and comfortable.

Just as she was thinking about Meimei, Meng Shuangshuang suddenly came back angrily and put the plate on the scooter: "What's so great about having money! Why bully people!"

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Ning Xi hurriedly asked.

Meng Shuangshuang pointed to the man who was walking with two servants not far away: "That's the man who drove all the other guests away because of his stinky money." The gold thread is embroidered with intricate patterns on it, and he holds a suet white jade folding fan. The hand holding the handle of the fan is fairer than ordinary women, and his face is handsome, but unfortunately a pair of peach blossom eyes looks like a romantic of.

Ning Xi stepped forward to block Meng Shuangshuang: "What do you want to do?"

"Bold! How dare you talk to our prince like this, do you still want to do business?" a servant stepped up and shouted.

"If it is a serious guest who comes to buy things, we will naturally entertain them, but if it is to make trouble, then don't blame us for being rude." Ning Xi said.

The prince suddenly clapped his palm with a folding fan and smiled: "What a hot little lady, really delicious! Who said we are not serious guests? Come on, buy all the rest."

Ningxi looked at the passers-by who came up, and suddenly twisted her neck: "I'm sorry, we don't sell it anymore!"

He picked up a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other, and the sound of "clang clang" sounded: "Come on, come on, try the luwei for free, don't miss it when you pass by, you will have a share!"

Seeing that there were still people hesitating, he picked up a plate of chicken feet and handed it to passers-by: "Come here, take one and try it." He walked in front of the prince and walked around blankly: "I'm sorry. , please let me go."

Seeing that more and more passers-by came up, the prince was so angry that his face turned blue, he stretched out his fan and pointed at Ningxi. He wanted to say something, but suddenly he lowered his hand, paced his feet fiercely, and flicked his sleeves to walk away. Now, the two servants quickly followed, and one of them said, "Where are the village girls, why didn't the prince give them a little color?"

Another said: "What kind of bad ideas are you coming up with, and do you want us, the prince, to let the prince be grounded? Shizu, to deal with such little people, where do you need to take action, the servants will find someone so that they can no longer be placed here. stall."

The prince waved his hand: "No, that's too cheap for them, I just want to play with them, come, come with me to get all the blessings!"

Ning Xi and the others quickly distributed most of the pots of lo mein. Everyone said it was delicious. They asked where they could buy it. Ning Xi said loudly, "Thank you for your support, our sisters will cook here every day from now on. For business, from tomorrow, within three days, buy a pound of lo-mei and get a pound of lo-mei, everyone wants to eat delicious food, introduce more relatives and friends to patronize, bring a friend to buy, get half a catty of lo-mei for free!"

The crowd cheered.

Meng Shuangshuang's heart pounded, and she whispered, "You're doing it like this, don't you think it's a loss?"

"Don't worry, it's fine, I'm fine, I can't lose."

Meng Shuangshuang was relieved at this time, and smiled sweetly: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, big brothers and big sisters, our sisters are new here, I hope everyone will take care of you!"

At this time, the aunt who sold cakes next to me said worriedly, "Girl, you have offended Prince Qi, so be careful in the future!"

"Hey, that's the Prince of Qi?" Ning Xi said in surprise. The West City where they lived was the area where the common people lived, and the East City was the place where dignitaries and dignitaries came in and out. She always thought that the most people who could go to the night market here would be the most. They are just rich people who do business.

Meng Shuangshuang asked: "Did we get into trouble?"

Ningxi asked the aunt who sold the cakes: "How is the Prince of Qi as a person?"

The aunt sighed and whispered to Ning Xi: "That's the famous little bully, but recently I heard that the house is strictly controlled, so it's not too much trouble."

Meng Shuangshuang patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, they shouldn't care too much about us little people!"

Ning Xi patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything illegal. Even if they have power, they can't do anything to us."

The aunt looked at them and shook her head and sighed secretly. These little girls are really ignorant. In the hands of others, you are like an ant. You can't help but make others happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Ningxi and the others pulled another pot of lo mein to set up a stall at the night market. Although the location was still so remote, with the first day's preparation, the business turned out to be very good. Even Ozawa was still too busy to help packing. In less than an hour, a large pot of lo mei was sold out, and there was a heavy copper plate in his pocket. Everyone was very happy, and Meng Shuangshuang even muttered happily: " If this continues, we will soon be able to make money to open a shop, and we will no longer have to set up stalls in the night market in the wind and rain."

Everything went very smoothly in the next few days. The two of them had already forgotten about the Prince Qi, and they were busy doing business and saving money. Ningxi's goal was not just to open a shop to sell lo-mei. , she wants to open a big restaurant.

As soon as I came to the night market that day, I found that right opposite their booth, a tall shed was built, and the golden signboard "Quan Ju Fu" was gorgeously hung on the shed.

"What's the matter?" Ning Xi grabbed a passerby and asked.

Others don't know, they just tell Ningxi that "Quan Ju Fu" is a famous high-end restaurant in the capital. It is located on the most prosperous East Street in Dongcheng. It's not them that eat food in it for dozens of taels of silver. Places that these commoners can afford.

Ningxi thought it was strange, what did the good dignitaries do to set up a stall in this civilian community if they didn't do their business? Is it because the business is not good now and it is necessary to diversify?

However, his small business has nothing to do with them. Ning Xi thought, maybe relying on the influence of the famous brand effect, he can also bring a lot of traffic to his own booth opposite!

Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang were only dumbfounded until the signboard covered by another piece of red silk on the opposite side was uncovered. The big red letters on a black background were written with the words "Secret Luwei".

What are you doing? It's obvious that customers these days have said that they have never eaten such delicious meat. It can be seen that there is no such thing as lo-mei in this world. Is it really a rich world that we don't understand?

"Isn't this a clear sign that we are going to grab business with us?" Meng Shuang said with his arms crossed.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first!" Ning Xi naturally saw that Quanjufu's visitors were not good, but she was not very nervous, anyway, she was not only a kind of food, she just chose this at the beginning. It's just because the raw materials are cheap. They have also made some money these days, and it's not difficult to change other things.

Quanjufu's lo-mei stall soon opened with gongs and drums, and because the local adults are brothers and sisters, the order is also very clear, one side is free tasting, the other side is the sales window, the goods are sold with Ningxi and others It's almost the same, some pigs go into the water and the like, as well as chicken heads and chicken feet, duck necks and goose feet, etc. They are big and their colors look black and bright.

The people of Xicheng have heard the reputation of Quan Jufu for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to go in for a meal due to their wallets. Now they can try Quan Jufu's crafts for free. Naturally, after being unwilling, they all flocked to try it for free. There, a long line formed in no time.

Some people originally came here to buy Ningxi's lo-mei, but seeing the lively here and the lo-mei produced by Quanjufu, they all crowded there, and Ningxi was naturally deserted.

Meng Shuangshuang looked at a large pot of lo mei that he had not sold at all, and worried: "What can I do!"

Ning Xi tasted the lo-mei tasted by the other party that Ozawa had lined up to bring back, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, don't worry!"

"Why don't you worry, everyone has run away, you are still in the mood to eat here!" Meng Shuangshuang said angrily.

"You can eat too!" Ning Xi took a small piece of Quanjufu's lo mein with chopsticks and put it into Meng Shuangshuang's mouth.

"What's delicious!" Meng Shuangshuang chewed two bites impatiently, and suddenly spit it out, "What is it, it's unpalatable to death."

Ning Xi laughed: "Their braised liver!"

"What do I say, why is it so fishy."

"So I said don't worry!"

"Ah, I understand, they are so famous, what kind of craftsmanship, even a toe of our family's Ningxi can't compare!"

The two hugged their chests in a relaxed manner, looking at the lively Quanjufu booth in front of them.

"Look at Ningxi, who is here again?" Meng Shuangshuang suddenly pointed diagonally forward.

Ning Xi raised his eyes, that young man who was swinging a folding fan in the cold weather and dressed like a peacock, wasn't he the Prince of Qi?
