Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Xu Wenyan was smiling happily in his heart.

This soup is a thick stew made from wild boar bones, and it has been stewing from yesterday afternoon to this morning.

If the fragrance wasn't strong, Xu Wenyan would wash her hair upside down.

With this scholar as a guarantee, we will definitely not lose money today.

Scholars in ancient times have always been respected. As long as children from ordinary families study, the whole family will feel that they have hope for their future life.

Every child who studies is a treasure of the family.

This is also why the scholar was willing and had the money to buy Xu Wenyan such expensive noodles. To say it was expensive is an exaggeration, after all, a bowl of vegetarian noodles used to cost only ten cents at most.

Compared with this, it is indeed a high price.

But the publicity work has been done, and the rest depends on your own operations.

"Oh, look at that young man eating so happily. I, an old man, want to have one too." The old man who had spoken to Xu Wenyan before walked forward slowly and looked at the side dishes and condiments in front of the stall.

"You just said that if I add all the toppings, it would be two cents less. I want a large portion with all the toppings, so the total is thirty-two cents, right?"

Although the old man looked plainly dressed, he could calculate numbers out loud, which showed that he was educated.

As a store owner, Xu Wenyan naturally cannot look down on customers: "Please sit down, old man. Your noodles will be served soon."

In just five or six minutes, a bowl of exquisite bamboo tube noodles was served on the table again, but the old man's bowl was a little different from the scholar's bowl just now.

In addition to half an egg, there is also a small spoonful of white meat and some radish strips.

Everyone was confused again: "Old man, just add eggs, don't these two things look like a scam?"

The old man just smiled warmly, picked up the chopsticks and started to taste the food. First he picked the noodles which interested him the most. He was a picky person and never liked eating noodles.

But the taste of this bowl of bamboo tube ramen was completely different from what he had imagined. It was indeed much more chewy and springy. The children at home said that they were old, so they always gave them something soft, such as porridge or paste.

He was tired of eating those, so he came out to see if there was anything that suited his taste. Unexpectedly, this thing was really interesting. The eggs were indeed more fragrant, but what he liked most was the white meat.

"Young man, what kind of meat is this?" When I first saw the meat, I thought it was not fresh, but when I put it in my mouth, I didn't expect it to be so delicious.

"These are river clams, transported from the mountains. It took a lot of effort. What you eat are the freshest, don't worry." The clams had not been eaten up, so Xu Wenyan kept them in a large tank. Saying that they were fresh was of course a lie.

But it's not a dead clam after all.

Sauerkraut is also great for the elderly. In short, they have eaten too much light food at home. Now they can eat something sour and appetizing. The contrast with the past is quite big.

Seeing that the old man was eating so happily, the people around him were even more surprised. What on earth was this thing?

Those who had money came and watched for a while, while those who couldn't afford it naturally ran away when they heard the price.

Soon the stall became busy. The only drawback was that Xu Wenyan and his friends only brought one table, so they had no choice but to rent a table and chairs for the day from the shop next door.

Fortunately, the shop owner next door is easy to talk to, and probably because the things they sell are different, the shop next door is also doing well.

"Brother Chen, the charcoal is almost gone, add some more."

"Brother Chen, please help me prepare the food. Brother Chen..."

The young couple was busy for more than half an hour. Of course, they were only busy for this half an hour. After breakfast time passed, business became slow.

Chen Sanlin was just a generalist, going wherever he was needed, washing dishes, wiping tables and preparing food.

The two of them squeezed on a stool, and Xu Wenyan took out the bamboo tube under the stall. In just one morning, most of the money in the bamboo tube had been filled.

He took out a bamboo tube and counted it. There were more than 600 coins in total. He sold more than 20 bowls in the morning. The investment was already recovered.

Of course, this is an early dividend. There are not many people setting up stalls now, so there are fewer types of food, and they are relatively expensive.

For most people, doing business at this time is a gamble. If you win, you can make a lot of money, but if you lose, you may starve to death.

Anyone who has the courage at this time seems like a veteran gambler.

The reason why Xu Wenyan dared to take the gamble was that he had everything going for him: time, place and people.

Without this carriage, it would have been impossible to set up the stall so quickly.

"Madam, you are pregnant, so don't run around." A maid in coarse clothes supported a woman who looked very young.

The woman was wearing a light red dress, which made her stand out in the crowd. Her hair was tied up high, and she must be from a wealthy family in the county. "Xiaochan, what are you selling in front of you? Why are there two men selling it?"

"Madam, the master said that your pregnancy was not easy to come by, so you should not eat outside food." The maid, who was only in her teens, looked a little nervous and it was obvious that she could not handle her own lady.

The woman walked towards Xu Wenyan's stall with her belly bulging: "Hey, Xiaochan, you know what I eat at home. I'm sick of drinking that chicken soup every day."

Xu Wenyan saw the visitor and knew at first glance that he was an important customer: "Madam, please eat noodles, but my noodles are a bit spicy, I don't know if you can eat it."

Although making money is a good thing, not everyone can make money. For a wealthy family like this, if she gets sick from eating, she won’t be able to open a store in the future. And it seems that she is pregnant. If something really happens, she might even lose her head.

It was when Xu Wenyan raised his head and saw the maid behind the woman that he was stunned.

The maid looked up and met Xu Wenyan's gaze. Her expression did not look very good either.

"Hey, I see you have clams here. I haven't eaten them for a long time. I can eat spicy food. Give me more clams. I want two servings!" The lady looked at the side dishes on Xu Wenyan's stall greedily, and suddenly wondered why the young boss was ignoring her.

"Boss? Young man? Handsome man?"

"Ah?" Xu Wenyan only came back to his senses at this time.

"Haha, you are really something. Although you are good-looking, you can't be so narcissistic." This lady looks cheerful and her words are interesting.

Xu Wenyan also smiled: "Oh, Madam, what you said is true. I was just thinking about how much chili to add for you."

"Yeah, add less. Although I can usually eat spicy food, things are special right now. But don't worry, I won't trouble you if anything goes wrong."

Xu Wenyan glanced at the maid behind the young lady again, and then started cooking noodles.

The young lady fell in love with the sour radish as soon as she took a bite. She ate each radish strip in three small bites, cherishing it very much, fearing that it would be finished in a moment.

"Hey, bro, do you want to sell this pickled cabbage separately? I want to buy some to eat slowly."

Xu Wenyan waved her hand and said, "Madam, you shouldn't eat too much pickled cabbage. If you think it tastes good, come back tomorrow to take care of the business."

The young lady smiled, thinking that the store owner was trying to make more money, but this was normal.

"Okay, Xiaochan, pay."

Hearing this name, Xu Wenyan frowned slightly and muttered in his heart: "Xiaochan?"
