Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

As a foodie, Wei Hesong went out early today and rushed to Chengjiang.

Although there haven't been any eye-catching delicacies at the snack fairs in recent years, he still wants to join in the fun.

Not wanting to squeeze into a crowded place, Wei Hesong walked around aimlessly with his wallet in his pocket. Suddenly, the crowd at the Orange Bridge in front of him attracted his attention.

If he remembered correctly, there were several accidents near the Orange Bridge during the snack party last year. Why didn't these people learn their lesson and go to the Orange Bridge again this year?

Wei Hesong was puzzled and decided to go over and persuade the person to leave.

It’s New Year’s Day, you can’t fall into the lake!

Thinking of this, Wei Hesong quickened his pace. However, when he got closer, he realized that he was overthinking.

Those people were not looking at the lake, they were buying things.

The thing was long, and was stabbed with a wooden stick. It smelled a bit good. A small cart selling things was parked by the bridge, revealing a sign with the word "Li" written on it.

Li? Could he be the owner of Li Ji Hotpot Restaurant?

Wei Hesong didn't even think of chasing people away for a moment, and he tiptoed towards the car.

It didn't matter that I took a look, I just happened to see Li Yu handing someone a starch sausage.

If it was really her, then he would have to buy two to try.

Li Yu was flipping the sausages quickly while talking to the guests.

Someone recognized her as the owner of Li Ji Hot Pot Restaurant and asked her why she didn't serve this in her restaurant.

"Are you worried that we can't afford it?" a customer said jokingly.

Li Yu smiled slightly: "Not really, the hot pot restaurant just opened, and I'm busy, so I haven't had time to do these. If everyone likes it this time, I'll open the restaurant after a while."

Everyone cheered, and the people who had already bought and eaten the grilled sausages cheered the loudest.

*

Wei Hesong listened to the voices in front of him, smelled the aroma of grilled sausages floating in the air, and covered his stomach.

He didn't have breakfast and was extremely hungry now. No, he had to eat something else first.

Wei Hesong looked at the stall next to him and finally bought a few steamed dumplings and ordered a bowl of wontons.

The old lady selling wontons smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.

She originally thought she would only earn some money for food and firewood today, but unexpectedly the sausage stand next door was doing good business, and she also benefited from it, with people coming to the stall all the time.

"Have you ever tried the grilled sausages next door? How do they taste?" a customer asked.

The old lady said immediately, "It's delicious. I don't know how it's made. When you bite into the intestine, it has a rich meaty aroma and is juicy."

The customer swallowed his saliva and decided to buy one to try later.

After listening to this conversation, Wei Hesong decided to eat quickly and then go buy some.

However, he was only halfway through his meal when a group of people suddenly arrived at the stall next to him, forming a long queue. Behind this group of people, there were still people coming this way.

Wei Hesong: “…”

What happened? Why are there so many people suddenly? Will there be anything left after he finishes eating?

If I had known this earlier, I would have brought Lao Lu with me today. This way, he can eat while Lao Lu queues, and it won’t delay them at all.

Wei Hesong looked at the steamed buns in his hand and felt extremely regretful.

However, the next moment he heard words that made him regret even more. These people came because of him. Because they saw him queuing, they thought the things here were good, so they followed suit and came to buy.

Wei Hesong: “…”

*

Li Yu also wanted to find some time to go around and see what the situation was like in other places.

As a result, there was a constant stream of customers and she was unable to spare any time.

Glancing at the long queue behind her, she perked up and concentrated on grilling the skewers.

Judging from the situation, the ones we made in the past two days are not enough to sell. They will be sold out by tomorrow morning at the latest.

But even if it wasn't enough, she wouldn't do it. There wasn't enough lamb intestines. She had been too busy in the past two days and everyone was tired. She had to give people a break.

*

At this time, a hundred meters away.

Three middle-aged men were walking slowly along the roadside.

Their clothes were all made of the most ordinary cotton cloth, and they looked no different from ordinary people on the street.

Seeing the long line on Li Yu's side, the man in blue standing in the middle pointed and said, "What are they selling over there? Why are there so many people?"

The man in black standing on his right stood on tiptoe to take a look and shook his head, "I don't know, but there are so many people queuing, it must be something delicious. Master, why don't we go take a look?"

The man in blue nodded and called to the man in brown standing on his left, "Let's go together."

*

The three of them walked closer and found that the stall was selling food skewered on wooden sticks.

There are three kinds of food: one is thick and fat, one is thin and long, the skin is cut into patterns, it looks crispy, and the other is a circle of things that look like noodles.

The man in black didn't understand what this was, so he grabbed a man who had bought all three items and asked, "Brother, what's in your hand?"

The man was so excited that he was not annoyed even though he was interrupted. He introduced from left to right: "These are rice noodle sausage, meat sausage and gluten. Do you want to buy them? If you want to buy them, please line up as soon as possible. I see the stall owner doesn't have much. If you are late, you won't be able to buy them."

The man in black said, "Looking at you, brother, it doesn't look like this is your first time eating something like this."

"It's true. I bought a crispy sausage 5 minutes ago. I thought it was delicious, so I came back to buy it. Unfortunately, there were too many people there. That's why I managed to buy it."

*

The three of them watched the man walk away. Finally, the man in black asked, "Master, do you want to try it?"

The man in blue looked at the long line behind him and said, "Let's go somewhere else first and buy something when there are fewer people at this stall."

The man in black and the man in brown looked at each other, nodded and agreed.

*

The three of them walked through the crowd toward the bridge together. However, after only a few steps, they suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling behind them.

Looking back, he saw a group of people dressed as officials pushing the people in line. One boy lost his balance and was pushed to the ground.

The boy didn't know where he fell, but he lay on the ground and couldn't stand up.

The officials seemed to be oblivious to the situation and pushed and shouted, "We cannot gather here. Go somewhere else. And the guy selling grilled sausages, what are grilled sausages? They are not allowed to be sold in the capital. Close your stall and follow us to the government office!"

The man in blue frowned when he heard this. "I remember that during the snack convention, any snack can be sold, regardless of location."

"That's right." The man in brown clothes looked at the bossy man and said, "These people don't look like they are from the government office. They look more like thugs from some stall."

The man in black said without hesitation: "They are from the government, but... it's hard to say whether they work for the government. They might have received money from some stall and are deliberately causing trouble. After all, this sausage stall is doing a booming business.

Everyone knows that every year the emperor comes to the snack party to have fun with the people, and there are many people who want to take this opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

In previous years, some people would create trouble for their opponents in advance in order to get the attention of His Majesty."

The blue-clothed man frowned, "Looking at the appearance of these people, this is definitely not the first time. I..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from below: "The officials said that we can't sell grilled sausages. Which article in Dayu's laws stipulates that we can't sell them?"
