Yangcheng

The road at the entrance of Jingyang Fang was completely surrounded, and even the merchants selling pastry and lacquer wares next door began to look at them.

"What is that Tang Sanniang eating again? It smells like meat..."

"Why is the smoke so heavy? What kind of battle, is this going to burn down the house?"

"Where did this blinding lamp come from? Where is it sold? I want to buy one too! It's so eye-catching!"

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to attract business with it? This Tang Sanniang is full of eyes!"

A booing sound boiled on the road, and the shocking sound came from Tang Jianwei's supper stall.

Shouts, laughter, and even encouraging voices immediately spread to other places in the night.

"No, I can't take it anymore, I want to go and have a look!"

The owner of the lacquerware seller left the stall to his wife, rubbed his hands, and trotted excitedly to the crowded and lively place.

People like new things and like to get together.

Where there are more people, the easier it is to attract people.

When most customers choose a restaurant, if they don't know much about the reputation of the store, if they are given two similar restaurants to choose from, they will definitely choose the one with more people.

Because customers will feel that more people means being chosen by more people, and more people choose because this store has better taste or better price, which is generally more worth spending than the deserted store.

A Niang taught Tang Jianwei this principle a long time ago.

In order to attract customers, many businessmen do not hesitate to hire babysitters in order to confuse the public.

Tang Jianwei doesn't like this. What she prefers and is good at is to use the curious attitude of the guests to create the most authentic and hot atmosphere.

Unlimited drinking at will within a stick of incense will definitely attract the attention of passers-by.

Even if a strong drinker comes, no matter how much he can drink, as long as he competes with Tang Jianwei, with the idea of ​​"drinking until the boss goes bankrupt", he will definitely come and bring a wave of people to watch and applaud him.

Tang Jianwei took the opportunity to keep everyone to testify, trying to keep as many guests as possible.

But she believes that even if she doesn't ask to stay, these people who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal will not leave easily.

As a result, many people will gather in front of her stall.

At this time, the strong aroma of her grilled skewers will attract everyone's attention, letting the neighbors know that youtiao Xishi has brought fresh barbecue methods to the night market.

This was the strategy Tang Jianwei had thought up on the first night.

No matter how much wine is drunk within a stick of incense, it is not a loss.

This was Tang Jianwei's real purpose.

Once you plug in the incense and start counting the time to drink, it will be a war!

The fierce man shouted fiercely, and the people around him applauded and shouted for him. Just imagining this scene, Tang Jianwei's ears began to ring.

At that time, a group of people will be attracted to join in the fun, maybe the skewers have already been sold to onlookers.

Not to mention all-encompassing outside of her calculations.

At the beginning, it was able to attract so many people, because of the crazy all-inclusiveness...

Xue Liulang, who sells lacquerware, followed the scent to Tang's late-night snack stand. The place was already surrounded, and it was impossible to get a closer look, let alone taste it, just by smelling the scent.

Xue Liulang is delicious, and he will never miss any fresh food in the county or even in the state.Some time ago, when Tang Jianwei first started selling fried dough sticks, he immediately bought a set when he heard the news.Later, when he started selling egg-filled biscuits, he was not behind either.

Xue Liulang had always admired Tang Jianwei's craftsmanship, but now Tang Sanniang made a big commotion in the night market, which made Xue Liulang curious.

"Borrow me, let me borrow my light, everyone!"

Xue Liulang squeezed in from the outermost layer of the crowd with difficulty, and before he could squeeze out a few people, he was almost deaf due to the loud roar!

"Three, two, one! Drink!"

The moment the incense was lighted, Zeng Erlang drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp without spilling a drop, one can imagine how big his throat is!

Zeng Erlang drank three bowls in a row, his face didn't blush, his heart beat, and he didn't pant at all.

Seeing Zeng Erlang gulp and gulp, his saliva was about to flow down, Xue Liulang asked the people next to him how he drank it, why he could drink one bowl after another?A table of wine bowls would be drunk by him alone!

The person next to him told him about drinking casually during the time when twenty skewers were exchanged for one stick of incense, Xue Liulang hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth.

Obediently!There is such a cheap thing in the world? !

impossible!

It is impossible for a businessman to lose money, otherwise, it would not be called a business, but a good deed.

What's more, this boss is not someone else, but he made Tang Sanniang, who was caught off guard in the whole Su County, right away!

This little lady is not simple, and it is even more impossible for her to suffer.

The businessman's sense of smell made Xue Liulang immediately think that Tang Sanniang must have her strategy!

Tong Shaoxuan looked a little worried from the side: "This big brother looks like he can drink... Tang Jianwei, is it too long for a stick of incense? You should have said half a stick of incense just now. Hey! Don't drink this little wine. He drank it all up. If he drank it all up, that’s fine, but others follow suit, and they all come over to buy twenty skewers and drink several large jars of wine! You will pay for it to death!”

Tong Shaoxuan frowned quite nicely, Tang Jian smiled and asked her:

"What's wrong, are you worried about me?"

"I... I'm worried about your wine!"

"Don't worry, do you think your wife seems to be someone who makes random plans without thinking about anything? Just wait and see, not everyone can handle Xu Dalang's wine, especially if you are drinking heavily." in the case of."

When Zeng Erlang drank the seventh bowl, his movements slowed down significantly.

When he put down the bowl, Zitan pointed to the bowl and said: "I haven't finished this bowl of wine yet, guest, don't waste it."

Zeng Erlang picked up the wine bowl, cleaned the bottom, and shook his head when he went to get the eighth bowl.

At this time, Xue Liulang had squeezed to the front, and asked Zeng Erlang:

"What's the matter, is this wine strong?"

"Big..." Zeng Erlang's face turned red, "It's much stronger than any wine I've ever had!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, all lamenting that Xu Dalang's wine really lived up to its reputation, no wonder the price is so expensive that it can be supplied to restaurants, it turns out that it is so strong that it can drink one of the best alcoholics in Su County.

Seeing this scene, Tong Shaoxuan finally understood.

It turned out that Tang Jianwei had long expected that the ordinary people in Su County were used to drinking rice wine with meals, and the rice wine was not too strong, as long as the stomach could hold it, it would not be a problem to drink two jars within the time of one stick of incense.

But the wine she got from Xu Dalang's side was different.

During the family dinner at noon, Tong Shaoxuan took a sip. The fermented wine was sweet and smooth, rich and fragrant, but its stamina was much stronger than that of rice wine.

Zeng Erlang drank two more bowls, his face was already flushed to the neck, his whole body was shaking, Zitan hurriedly moved a high chair over and asked him to sit down, don't fall into a bad mood.

Someone from Zeng Erlang's company came to support him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zeng Erlang burped: "Let me slow down...I can still drink."

"Don't lose your body just to be greedy. I think you should stop drinking. Drinking so many bowls is enough."

The more Zeng Erlang waited for the wine, the more intense he became. When he looked at Tang Jianwei, he found that his eyes had split, and Boss Tang had two heads.

"Tang, hiccup, Boss Tang, your wine is really strong! Fragrant! Strong! Good!"

Someone reminded: "Be careful...the saliva will be sprayed on the face of the little lady."

Tang Jianwei poured him a cup of hangover tea, and the twenty skewers had already been baked. Tang Jianwei arranged the short table and the top chair, and invited Zeng Erlang and three friends to sit down and eat the skewers slowly.

"Is this wine so magical? Even Zeng Erlang can't handle ten bowls? You must know that he claims to be drunk after a thousand cups."

"It is said that this is the wine specially provided by Boss Xu's house, and it is sold for one tael a glass in the restaurant."

"Really? Such an expensive wine, the boss actually let people drink it at will?"

"You are stupid, the boss is very smart, she knows the strength of the wine, even if you open your stomach to drink it, you can't drink a few bowls. You see Zeng Erlang can't hold it, do you think you can drink a few bowls instead, It is estimated that it will be poured by the third bowl."

"No, I have to taste what is so special about a glass of wine for two silver coins! Boss Tang, bring me twenty skewers of meat, and I want to drink too!"

Although I know what the boss is thinking, but the food and wine, the people who want to completely relax and relax in the new year, can't resist the temptation at all.

What's more, everyone will still settle accounts.

A skewer costs five yuan, and twenty skewers only costs one hundred yuan. Even if you spend one hundred yuan to buy a glass of wine that originally costs one tael of silver, it is a bargain.

Everyone knows how to settle accounts, but in the end they can't calculate businessman Tang Jianwei.

Tang Jianwei had inquired about it a long time ago. Xu Dalang specially provided wine for the Jiumendong restaurant in the county. Jiumendong is one of the two major restaurants in Suxian County. Although it is not as luxurious as Hehualou, the price is relatively common. One of the two giants, Jiumendong is not a place where ordinary people can go to eat every day.

After Xu Dalang was tricked by Hehualou in terms of the contract, he made up his mind not to associate with profiteers any more, and instead supplied goods to Jiumendong.

Originally, Jiumendong wanted to sign an exclusive supply with him, but Xu Dalang was scared by Hehualou and didn't want to sign an exclusive supply. The boss of Jiumendong also understood it very well, and only signed a special supply from Suxian Restaurant.

That is to say, among all the restaurants in Suxian County, only Jiumendong can drink Xu Dalang's wine, and it is very difficult to drink it in other places. After all, the cost is here. It is impossible for ordinary small merchants to buy his wine, and the price is high. If no one buys it, don't throw it in your hands.

Others dare not, but Tang Jianwei dares.

She has done the calculations, the real cost of this wine is not much for a bowl, of course the restaurant sells it for huge profits, but her small stall doesn't have to kill a piece of meat so ruthlessly.

Today is just to make a name for it, everything is to make a name for the skewers.

Not to mention that the wine is so strong that the people of Su County will hang up after drinking a few bowls. Even if they really meet something special, Tang Jianwei can afford it.

As long as the reputation of grilled skewers can be raised, everything will be fine.

In order to have a sip of a tael of wine, there are many people who are eager to try, and immediately grab the table after paying the money.

There were only four tables in total, Zeng Erlang had already occupied one table, and the other three tables were all taken up immediately.Those who didn't grab it stood by and waited, anyway, as long as they had food and drink.

Tang Jianwei first brought the wine bowls of the guests who had bought twenty skewers, and let them drink as they wished. After drinking, let her make it or serve it by herself.

Zitan held a large handful of skewers in his hand, which had just been roasted. After asking the guests one by one what kind of spiciness they wanted, he sprinkled the chili powder on the barbecue with a little clumsiness, and divided them all out.

The couple praised the delicious skewers first, and the people who watched Zeng Erlang drinking had already bought two batches. Tang Jianwei gave away one batch and handed it over to Zitan, who was almost in a hurry.

And Tong Shaoxuan was fanning at the side, holding the cattail fan tightly with both hands, his eyes were so smoked that he couldn't open it, he still didn't stop the movement of his hands, fanning hard, until Zitan coughed again and again.

"Okay, okay, little ancestor, you don't have to be so ruthless."

Tang Jianwei came over and patted her: "As long as it's hot enough, let the charcoal warm itself. Are you tired? Take a break?"

Tong Shaoxuan was a little dazed: "I'll make a self-fanning machine tomorrow!"

"Really? I'm so kind. Master Tong, it's better to make another barbecue by yourself. Then we don't have to do anything, just put the skewers on the oven and just concentrate on collecting money."

Tang Jianwei's words inspired Tong Shaoxuan, she touched her chin and looked at the stove seriously:

"It's not impossible..."

She is already thinking about the exact way to implement it.

"... Let me just say it casually, only if you are free, old man."

"I'm free. I have a rest during the first month, so I'm naturally free. Tang Jianwei...I'm so hungry."

Tong Shaoxuan touched his flat belly, his eyes were bright, and hinted at Tang Jianwei with a begging look.

Tang Jianwei was a little embarrassed: "How many people are queuing up to wait for the grilled skewers, each of which requires a dozen or twenty skewers. There are so many people watching, how dare you jump in the queue?"

"I don't want to jump in line! I can wait!" Tong Shaoxuan immediately raised his head, "As long as I can eat skewers tonight, I can wait as long as I want!"

Tang Jianwei's heart thumped because of Tong Shaoxuan's cuteness.

What's going on, she was clearly not interested in this type of cuteness before...

People are so fickle...

Tang Jianwei couldn't bear to keep her waiting, so he raised his voice and said to all the guests:

"Dear neighbors, thanks to everyone's care, the shop just opened tonight. It takes time to cook the skewers, but the skewers are meant to eat the hot smoke, and they won't taste good when they are cold. Let everyone wait a long time, my little girl is here I'm here to accompany everyone."

Everyone laughed and said it doesn't matter.

Tang Jianwei turned his head and introduced to everyone: "This is my wife, Tong Shaoxuan, the fourth daughter of the Tong family."

Everyone's eyes focused on Tong Shaoxuan for a moment, and some people inevitably joked:

"I know you, this is our Su County prodigy!"

"I usually don't go to the academy, and when I go to the academy, I will make my husband speechless. Isn't it our Tong Siniang?"

Some people realized later: "It turns out that Boss Tang is the noble daughter of Boling who was bestowed by the emperor. Disrespect and disrespect."

Tong Shaoxuan's face was burned by her blow, and he asked Tang Jianwei in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"I'm fighting for your chance to jump in line."

"??"

Tang Jianwei motioned her not to interrupt, and continued to say to everyone: "My wife and I are going to get married in the first month, but after all, she hasn't passed the door yet, so she took the pains to follow me out of the night market. Everyone saw my wife I fanned here all night with a fan. I didn’t complain about suffering or tiredness. I just wanted to eat skewers. Thanks to everyone for taking care of the business, I still owe you a hundred skewers at the moment. The stove is already full and I can’t add more. My little girl begs everyone, can I let my wife eat two skewers first to satisfy my hunger, and I will give each guest another skewer later."

When Tong Shaoxuan and Zitan heard that she was going to give it away for free, their hearts were in their throats.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't even have time to be ashamed, and immediately wanted to say "I won't eat".

Before she could say it, everyone agreed.

"How can I just give Madam two skewers? Boss Tang is such a stingy person, he needs at least ten skewers to enjoy himself!"

"The two of you are already so affectionate before you officially get married. I really envy others."

"Hey, Boss Tang loves his wife so much, he is really a godly couple. When can I ask for a daughter-in-law?"

Everyone praised and felt sorry for themselves, and when they looked at Tong Shaoxuan, they all had the same kind of envious and jealous eyes.

If anyone had a woman like Mrs. Tang San who was skilled at making money and looked like a fairy, would she laugh out loud in her dreams?

The Tong family is not a wealthy family. I heard that the grandfather used to be famous, but after all, it is the family of the grandfather. Except for the young girl who is a well-known child prodigy, there is nothing special about their Tong family. can fall into the eyes of the Son of Heaven.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, Tang Jianwei is really a god of blessing who has settled down in Hirado... Why can't such a good thing happen to my family?

Tang Jianwei got the consent of the guests, took out ten skewers and handed them to Tong Shaoxuan:

"I figured it out. You people in Su County are very enthusiastic and don't care about everything. See, I'll come here easily for you."

Since childhood, Tong Shaoxuan would only be bored in the room, reading and drawing, playing tricks, and hadn't shown his face outside much, so he was about to die of embarrassment from this scene.

And the scene when Tang Jianwei grilled her skewers was like an adult buying snacks for a child...

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't bear the pressure, holding ten skewers, hid behind the cart, and ate quietly and deliciously.

This skewer is really a good thing...

Tang Jianwei seems to have reformulated the spices again. The ratio of cumin powder and pepper powder has been re-adjusted. It seems that salt has been added to enhance the taste.

Needless to say, the powder made by Zhantianhong was just rightly spicy, and it was extremely appetizing. Tong Shaoxuan ate two skewers in one go, and the spiciness just started.

The smell of meat mixed with spiciness made her fascinated.

Forget it, since the skewers are so delicious, Tong Shaoxuan is not going to care about anything.

Although they are all neighbors, there are no acquaintances in her circle here, so she endured it for the sake of skewers.

Tong Shaoxuan was enjoying his meal, and he didn't notice Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang who were waiting in line behind the crowd.

Ge Xunqing naturally saw the love between Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan just now, and said "tsk" twenty times in a row, until the end of the tongue was numb.

"Hey, when can I find a wife like Tang Sanniang? I will have no regrets in this life."

Bai Erniang squinted at her: "Look at your prospects. Is your only ambition in this life to be a wife?"

"There is one more!" Ge Xunqing stretched out a finger and announced proudly, "I have another ambition that is bigger than getting a wife, which is to make a lot of money and become a rich woman!"

Bai Erniang: "...Then you should think about marrying a wife again."

Ge Xunqing: "??"

Due to the superimposition of many factors, this test-fired skewer created a very sensational effect in the Su County Night Market, which was beyond Tang Jianwei's expectations.

The people of Su County are really addicted to spicy food. Barbecue meat is already very fragrant, and sprinkled with a layer of chili powder, the unfamiliar spicy feeling stimulates the people of Su County. On the one hand, they have been so hot that their tears and nose flow, and their lips are swollen to twice the thickness. He also asked Tang Jianwei to put more peppers.

Just a little more, I can do it!

Tang Jianwei persuaded everyone earnestly: "It's not that I'm stingy, and I won't put more chili powder for you. This is the spiciest pepper in Sichuan, and it will cause diarrhea. If you put more peppers, you will have diarrhea. When you climb east tomorrow, you will have something to eat with your first step." accepted."

Dengdong is an elegant way of going to the latrine to resolve major issues.

Tang Jianwei didn't want to mention such things while eating, but the consequences of spicy food are very serious, and can make people restless all day long.

Tang Jianwei had seen Zitan suffer such crimes before, and he didn't want his guests to suffer so much after eating the food she made, and come back to settle accounts with her later.

"Hey! Boss Tang's kindness is appreciated. But we will save tomorrow's business for tomorrow. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. If you have spicy food, you will double it!"

Tang Jianwei was amused by the guest: "Okay, then I'll let you go without hesitation, is this enough?"

"Come again!"

"so much?"

"Come again!"

It wasn't until the whole skewer turned red that the other party called to stop.

Tang Jianwei was shocked, the people of Suxian County are really powerful, what kind of indestructible body must they dare to do such a thing.

The [-] skewers will soon bottom out, and almost all the wine brought in has been drunk, and some people have heard, seen or smelled the smell of meat, and come here to taste it.

It's a pity that Tang Jianwei was about to close the stall when he arrived.

"It's so early?" A young man and a woman seemed to be lovers. After hearing Tang Jianwei's answer, they regretted, "No, it's just after Haishi, and the night market has just started, so you are going to leave?"

Tang Jian apologized with a smile: "Today, my daughter came out of the night market for the first time. She didn't prepare well. The wine and meat had bottomed out and had to be withdrawn. I'm very sorry. The hospitality is not good. If the guests need it, you can make a reservation first. No matter how late tomorrow, I will Reserved by guests."

"Hey, it's a bit troublesome, forget it." The woman refused with a bit of disgust.

The man next to her comforted her and said, "Don't you want to eat? Then let's make a reservation first. There must be a lot of people here tomorrow."

The woman asked Tang Jianwei: "How do you sell your skewers?"

Tang Jianwei told the truth, but he didn't tell me about the [-] skewers to drink at will. It was originally limited to the opening today, and there will be no more tomorrow, otherwise she will die at a loss.

"It's so expensive, it costs five cents for a string." The woman yelled at the man beside her.

The man began to bargain: "Can't it be cheaper? Others' houses are not as expensive as yours."

"Our home is lamb, which tastes good at a real price, and the seasoning is the only one in Angzhou, so it is naturally more expensive." Tang Jianwei thought for a while and said, "If you order more than [-] skewers, in addition to the two skewers, you can also give away A stack of side dishes."

"Side dishes? That's fine too."

Tong Shaoxuan, who had been hiding behind the pushcart, heard that the man who spoke was Zhai Wulang.

It was the man her third sister Tong Shaoqian had always admired.

Who is that woman with him?

Tong Shaoxuan showed his eyes curiously and looked at them.

The woman next to Zhai Wulang is naturally not Tong Shaoqian, but a stylishly dressed little lady in a bird skirt.She held Zhai Wulang's arm, and the two were very close.

After Zhai Wulang paid a deposit of twenty skewers, he ate flat food at the stall next door.

The two talked about the fun of eating, drinking and reciting poems in Jiumen East with their friends yesterday, the woman giggled and said that the woman surnamed Tong was so stupid, she was called to come after everyone had finished playing, and she really came , She is fine with asking her to pay.

"Wu Lang, does that Tong San Niang like you?" the woman teased.

"How do I know that?" Zhai Wulang also laughed, "Maybe he has a good impression."

"Hey, you're going to hook up with me outside, don't be afraid that I'll take your skin off!"

"Hey, can this be my fault too? If others want to like me, how can I stop them from liking me?"

"Are you really not interested in that Tong Sanniang?"

"No! I've rejected her once!"

"Then you ask people to pay! You still touch people's hands? Isn't this giving the other party hope? I have seen it! And three taels of silver! Their Tong family is so poor, they eat porridge and pickles all day long, three taels of silver is enough She vomited a mouthful of blood. You, black-hearted, did it on purpose. "

Zhai Wulang smiled and picked the woman's chin with a fan: "I will miss me now, weren't you happy when you saved money? What touching hands, hey, I sacrificed myself to keep her stable, don't worry, I, Zhai Zhongming, only like beauties, only beauty like you..."

Before Zhai Wulang finished speaking, he was suddenly poured a large basin of cold water on his head, which made him jump up with a loud cry.

"What are you doing!" Zhai Wulang yelled as he turned his head and glared.

Tong Shaoxuan was carrying a clean bucket from the flower stall in his hand, and threw it at Zhai Wulang.

Zhai Wulang was punched in the chest, and when he was confused, he recognized Tong Shaoxuan:

"You, you are Tong Siniang."

"Apologize." With ruthlessness in Tong Shaoxuan's eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhai Wulang's lapel with a prickly ash bomb hidden in his hand, biting his cheek hard, like a bird wanting to fight with the other party in a rage The little beasts that died together,

"Apologize! Apologize for what you said to insult my third sister just now! And promise to never mention her in the future!"

The people around didn't know what happened, they all looked at them and talked about it.

Zitan was terrified, Madam was usually as soft as glutinous rice balls, why suddenly became so fierce, as if she wanted to eat people...

Isn't she the worst deal with her third sister on weekdays?I heard from Sanniang that the two of them were still fighting under the table during the family dinner at noon today. I didn't expect that she was actually so protective of her family.

The woman who came with Zhai Wulang came up to pull Tong Shaoxuan to let her go, but Tong Shaoxuan would not let go.

Tong Shaoqian's younger sister listened to Zhai Wulang's nonsensical words. She was ashamed and annoyed, and pushed Tong Shaoxuan away:

"Where did the crazy woman come from! Why am I apologizing! That's what she likes, okay?!

Just when Tong Shaoxuan was about to smash a pepper bomb in his face, a pot of hot charcoal was thrown towards Zhai Wulang.

Zhai Wulang was so frightened that he ran around with his head in his arms, barely dodged, but still got his nose ashamed.

"You're trying to kill me—"

When Zhai Wulang wanted to sue, he found a large number of sharp bamboo sticks pressed against his face.

He was silent like a cicada, and almost knelt on the ground.

"My wife said..."

Tang Jianwei held a hundred bamboo sticks firmly in his hand, aiming at Zhai Wulang's face, he might poke Zhai Wulang's proud little white face into chaff at any time.

"Apologize."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Jianwei: I can't tell that my wife is quite fierce.

Tong Shaoxuan: Didi, please get off for speeding!

Tang Jianwei:? ?How come I don't know when I got on the bus?
