The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 33: The cold noodle business is booming

Everyone watched the young woman eat cold noodles. From their initial indifferent expression to her finishing the bowl of noodles with shining eyes, they realized how delicious the cold noodles were.

"Oh, it would be great if I could take your cold noodles away! It's so delicious. I haven't eaten so full since I became pregnant!" After the young woman came to Xiaowu and paid the money, she started chatting with Lin Paner and her two sisters-in-law.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are now eight years old and have learned abacus a long time ago. Now it is just right for one of them to keep accounts while the other collects money.

"As long as you like it, we will always have the stall here and you are always welcome to come and taste it!" Zhao Yunniang said to the young woman with a smile.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. See you next time!" The little woman touched her belly, picked up the basket and went home contentedly.

She secretly made up her mind to show off to others how delicious the cold noodles were.

"Give me a bowl too!"

"I want a bowl too!"

"I want three bowls!"

……

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, there are no more tables and bowls.

How about this, we will give you a number plate, you can go to the market to buy some vegetables first, and when you come back in an hour, I guarantee you will have cold noodles to eat!" Li Huaxiang greeted enthusiastically.

Cheng Yu had thought about this problem a long time ago. They were just doing a trial run today and only made about a hundred servings of cold noodles. There were not enough tables and chairs, so there would definitely be some noise. So he thought of the idea of taking numbers.

"Here, this is for you. Yes, go and take a look first, and when you come back just give me the number plate." Zhao Yunniang said.

Zhao Yunniang distributed number plates and collected them, Lin Pan'er put the dishes and chopsticks in a wooden barrel, and the three Cheng brothers washed them and brought them out to the customers.

After a busy morning, all the goods were sold out in about two hours.

Then the Cheng family heard the people who didn’t buy any say, “Your cold noodles are so delicious, but you sold too few portions, so I didn’t buy any, and I can’t take them out.”

"I'm really sorry everyone today. Next time you come, you can bring your own bowls or pots. We will increase the portion tomorrow. We came at 9:00 a.m." said Old Mrs. Cheng.

Cheng Yu was very happy to see so many people like cold noodles, and the Cheng family's income was stable.

"Daughters-in-law, are you tired?" Old Mrs. Cheng walked up to the three daughters-in-law and asked.

"I'm not tired. Seeing so many people like our cold noodles, it's worth it no matter how tired I am." Li Huaxiang said with a smile.

"Mom, you are so awesome to come up with such a good idea." Lin Paner praised.

"Haha, I also listen to Nannan's instructions. Our little Nannan is a lucky star." Old Mrs. Cheng nodded Cheng Yu's little head and said with a smile.

"Mom, then shall we come here every day from now on?" Zhao Yun's mother asked cheerfully.

Hehe, looking at the bulging cloth bag on Xiaowu’s back, she felt so satisfied!

"As long as you don't feel tired, we will come here every day!" said Old Mrs. Cheng happily.

Cheng Jin and the other two had already gone to Jiang Wuyou's shop to discuss the rent with them. Wuyou's husband Jiang Xu had given the Cheng family such a great convenience, and they couldn't take advantage of the Jiang family.

"Brother-in-law, if you don't charge us rent, we won't dare to come again. And we need the space behind your shop. We also need the water from your shop to wash dishes. You have to charge us rent anyway!"

"How about this, we will give you fifty cents a day!" said Cheng Jin.

"Twenty cents!" Jiang Xu began to bargain in reverse.

"Forty cents," Cheng Jin was led astray and actually started shouting along.

"Twenty-five cents!" Jiang Xu thought this brother-in-law was quite interesting and started shouting again.

"Thirty cents! It can't be any lower!" Cheng Shang was so amused by the tug of war between the two that he immediately said to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Wuyou was counting the bills behind the counter. He originally wanted to do a favor for his third uncle's family, but he ended up making their shop popular. This morning's turnover was more than 100 grams of silver more than usual.

"Boss, come out and clean the tables. We still need to buy a few more tables, and also go to your uncle to buy some wooden boxes... Come back later and talk to Wuyou and his wife." Old Mrs. Cheng shouted outside.

"Okay, mom, I'll be right there!" Cheng Jin replied, and then immediately said to Jiang Xu, "It's just thirty cents. It should be okay to put the tables and chairs at the back of your store, right?"

"It's okay, just buy a piece of oilcloth to cover it. Wuyou, take them to the flea market to buy a table, it's cheaper there!" Jiang Xu said.

There weren't many people in their shop after noon. Just now, Old Mrs. Cheng made them a bowl of cold noodles, so they weren't hungry at all.

"Okay, Brother Xu, I'll go with my aunt and the others first, and you take Xiaowu and Xiaoliu with you, okay?" Jiang Wuyou looked at his two nephews. At such a young age, one was keeping accounts and the other was doing accounting, and each one was more capable than the other.

"I, I also want to stay here and sell vegetables with my uncle-in-law!" Cheng Xiaoba was addicted to shouting, especially his milky and sticky voice that made people stop and watch, and he really attracted quite a few customers.

"Okay, then you help your aunt sell vegetables, and your aunt will treat you to papaya water, okay?" Jiang Wuyou said immediately.

"It doesn't matter whether you invite me or not, the main thing is that I love selling vegetables! Uncle, you have to shout to me first!" Cheng Xiaoba and Jiang Xu said.

"Then let's go. Listen to your two brothers and your uncle! Do you understand?" Old Mrs. Cheng gave repeated instructions.

Then after Jiang Xu shouted once, Cheng Xiaoba started shouting: "Vegetables, vegetables, big price reduction, 1.3 cents per pound, if you like, come and buy!" The voice was so milky and sticky that it attracted passers-by to look over.

The Cheng family members were about a hundred meters away and could still hear Cheng Xiaoba's shouting.

"This kid is addicted to shouting!" Cheng Tian ran to his wife happily and teased.

"He will be the main force tomorrow, and you can't let him hear what you say!" Lin Pan'er also said with a smile.

"Xiao Ba is very fun!" Jiang Wuyou also laughed. She held Cheng Yu in her arms. When will she have her own child?

"Sister Wuyou, don't feel so much pressure. He will come naturally if he wants to!" Zhao Yunniang saw the envy in Jiang Wuyou's eyes and immediately comforted her.

"Okay, thank you, cousin." Jiang Wuyou hugged Cheng Yu contentedly. The Jiang family never urged her, so let it be.

"Grandma, Mom, don't buy the bowls. Let grandpa go cut some old bamboo to make them!" Cheng Yu heard Grandma Cheng asking about the price of the bowls, which was ridiculously high, so he immediately said in his heart.

When the time comes, cut some larger bamboos to make bowls. If you want to take them away, you can pay one cent more to take them away. If you don’t take them away, they are easy to wash after you eat them, and you won’t feel bad if they are damaged. You can also have more.

In the end, the Cheng family asked for six tables, 24 benches, and a piece of oilcloth, which cost more than 400 wen. They also went to Jiang Ling to make ten wooden boxes (similar to modern storage boxes), which cost 180 wen.

Old Lady Cheng and the others chatted with Cheng Cuihua for a while and then went back to Jiang Wuyou's vegetable shop.

"Wow, Brother Xu, are you so awesome today?" Jiang Wuyou looked at the empty counter of his shop in surprise.

"I don't dare to take credit for this, it's Xiaoba's effort!" Jiang Xu looked at Cheng Xiaoba who was sleeping in the rocking chair. The boy kept calling Cheng Xiaoba "sister" and "mommy" all the time, which confused the customers. As a result, he has no worries about sales at all.

"How long has he slept?" Cheng Tian asked. This kid has the habit of taking a nap, but he can't be allowed to sleep too long.

"More than half an hour," Jiang Xu replied.

"Cheng Xiaoba, it's time to eat the meat buns!" Cheng Tian shouted in Cheng Xiaoba's ear.

Lin Paner: This pitiful father...

"Eat, I want two!" Cheng Xiaoba immediately sat up and stretched out three fingers with sleepy eyes.

"Hahaha, come on, your aunt will treat you to a meal! Little Five and Little Six, follow me!" Jiang Wuyou held Cheng Yu in his arms and took a group of boys to the bun shop on the next street. They bought fifteen buns at five cents each, for a total of seventy-five cents.

"Aunt, meat buns are too expensive. I won't eat them next time!" If she hadn't seen Xiao Ba eating non-stop, she would have believed it.

The Yuwen family at this time:

The Yuwen family was an imperial merchant family with incalculable wealth, but they had a common problem: they had few descendants. By the time of Yuwen's father, there were only him and his sister (Princess Yu), and by the time of Yuwen Jue, there was only him.

At that time, the mistress of the Yuwen family took four or five concubines for her son in order to reproduce offspring, but still no one was born. She was so vicious that she even attacked her pregnant wife. This is why Yuwen Jue was poisoned when he was born.

Later, even though Yuwen Mo dealt with all his concubines with thundering means, it was of no avail, so the relationship between Yuwen Mo and Bai Rou (Mrs. Yuwen) was not good.

"Madam, the young master is fine, and all the poison has been cleared away!" Doctor Bai and his master, who were taking Yu Wen Jue's pulse, reported immediately.

"Thank you for finding this hundred-year-old ginseng! My son is finally saved!" Bai Rou said.

Some time ago, the poison in Juer's body suddenly could not be suppressed, and then there was no news about the ginseng. She was so anxious that she almost died with her son.

"This is all thanks to that little girl who loves to pick up trash!" Doctor Bai couldn't help laughing when he thought of Cheng Xiaoba and Cheng Yu.

"Yes, what's the little girl's name? I'll give her something else!" Bai Rou also said with a smile. She had heard Doctor Bai talk about this funny little person.

Yu Wen Mo's body had absorbed a lot of drugs when several concubines were competing for his favor, and he could no longer have children.

"Her name is Cheng Xiaojiu, her real name is Cheng Yu, and she's a very interesting girl!" Doctor Bai said with a smile.

"This is the title deed to the county seat of Bai Ze County. It's a restaurant and also my dowry. I'm giving it to the little girl. Yuzhi, take Doctor Bai to handle the transfer!" Bai Rou said gently.

No one noticed that the four-year-old boy on the bed was squinting his eyes and muttering: Cheng Yu, Cheng Xiaojiu, his lifesaver...

Cheng Yu, who was drowsy in Cheng Shang's arms at this time, didn't know that she would soon have a four-story restaurant, and there would be a big wolf who had been eyeing her for more than ten years...
