The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 060, opening

The owner who sold things next door asked them what they were selling, and Huang Yan told everyone familiarly that they were selling pasta here, as well as tofu and meatballs.Seeing that the newcomers are different from what they sell, and there is not much competition, some people let down their guard in their hearts, and everyone looks happy and harmonious.

Uncle Qiao brought his youngest son to put things down together. It was not the first day for them to set up a stall. They knew how to put things up. The father and son put things down skillfully.

They only occupy a small space on this side, leaving more stalls for the other side to sell pasta.

"You said those people who often buy things from us won't find us there?" Uncle Qiao was a little worried, and said to his son, "Why don't we go back to the original place to set up a stall?"

"Hey, Dad, didn't we say hello to Uncle Huang and the others just now? If someone goes back and asks, old regular customers will find this place to buy things from us. The town is only such a big place, and it's just around the corner. Now that you can see us, you are still worried that people will not find us." Qiao Mingyong didn't worry so much, they were only a few steps away from the place where the stall was originally set up, and they could see us after turning a corner.

"Father, don't worry, if someone really wants to buy things from us, he can find us no matter what."

They don't have to worry about the wind, sun and rain here, but it's much better than setting up a stall outside.Compared to setting up a stall outside, Qiao Mingyong still felt that it was better inside, and their stall was outside, with the wind blowing in, so the location was not too good.

"That's what you said." Hearing what the youngest son said, Uncle Qiao put his heart back.

Now Qiao Sanmei and Qiao Mingcheng followed the eldest brother and uncle to the town every day. Seeing that they couldn't help the elder brother, they stayed here with the uncle to guard their small stall.At this time, no one came to buy their things, so the two siblings gathered together to talk.

Auntie Wu was talking to someone over there, while Qiao Minglang asked the big hall brother to light the fire in the stove.It just so happens that this stall has two old stoves made of mud bricks, one big and one small. They were left behind by the original stall owners who sold things here, and they picked them up and used them to save themselves Get another.

The fire in the stove was raised, the pot was covered, and the fish soup was already boiling.

It didn't take long for the soup in the pot to boil. Qiao Minglang was kneading the noodles here, and he didn't have any free hands, so he asked the big hall brother to open the lid of the soup.

"Okay, I'll do it." Qiao Mingshan walked over, opened the lid, and asked, "The soup has already boiled, is it alright?"

grumbling-

The boiling soup was bubbling and bubbling, and as soon as the lid was lifted, the strong smell of fish soup came out, and everyone around could smell the fragrance, and swallowed hard.

"Well, wait, I haven't put salt yet. Put less firewood in the stove, let the soup continue to simmer for a while, wait until I go over and put salt." Qiao Minglang reconciled the noodles, and covered it with a clean white cloth , patted the flour on his hands, and put salt in the past.

After adding salt to the soup, Qiao Minglang tasted it, then let his cousin taste it, and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Well, that's enough." Qiao Mingshan nodded and replied.

"Hey, is this new here? What are you selling?" At this time in the morning, some people hadn't eaten yet, and some men passing by their stalls stopped when they smelled the aroma, and asked them what they sold. what is it.

Huang Yan replied with a smile: "We sell a big bowl of noodle soup here. The soup base made of fish head and tofu is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious. You can just have vegetarian noodle soup, and there are noodles and tofu in it. You can add fish head, tofu and fish The balls and shrimp balls are all made by ourselves, and they are guaranteed to be the best."

"Oh, how do you sell this thing?" The other party immediately became interested.

Huang Yan quoted the price once, and asked, "Does the boss want to sit down and eat a bowl?"

Seeing that their products are sold cheaply, he can still afford a bowl of noodles, "Okay, let's have a bowl of fish head tofu noodles." The man sat down on the bench and saw that the table was quite clean , nodded in satisfaction.

Over there, Qiao Minglang had already put the cut noodles into the pot. After the water boiled for a while, he scooped up the noodles, scooped a spoonful of fish soup into it, put half a piece of fish head and tofu on top, grabbed Sprinkle a small handful of chives on top.

After the meeting, Qiao Mingshan brought it over, brought a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, and said, "Eat slowly, be careful of burning."

"Okay, um, it's really fragrant." The man lowered his head and smelled the smell, took a sip of the soup with a spoon, and the soup in his mouth was fresh and fragrant, with a strong smell of fish soup.The tofu is soft and smooth, and this fish looks like it was caught this morning, otherwise it would not be possible to cook such a delicious fish soup.

People like them often eat fish, and you can tell whether the fish is good or not as soon as you eat it.

Over there, when Uncle Qiao saw that their stall was open, he narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Passers-by saw someone sitting there eating noodles, asked how it was sold, sat down and ordered a large bowl of noodles with tofu and fish head.Gradually, the number of people eating noodles at their stall increased, and the seats in the front row were almost full.

"Boss, sit here, sit here."

Fortunately, the noodle eaters in front had finished eating, and there were vacant seats. Huang Yan neatly put away the bowls and chopsticks, wiped the table clean, and people from behind sat down to eat one after another.

At this time, many people come out to buy vegetables, and people who do business here will eat something to fill their stomachs here. I did not expect that a new noodle stall opened today, and the food is so delicious.

A large bowl of noodles is full, bright and full, enough for an adult man to eat, and the noodle soup can be added at will without extra money.The price of the noodles here is cheap, even for some people who are not so rich in their pockets, they can still afford to eat a bowl of noodles here.

"Your fish balls are really good. How did you make them? They are so delicious."

"These are fish balls made by our family. They are made from freshly caught fish every day. They are sold over there. If you think they are delicious, you can go over there and weigh some to eat."

"Oh, good."

In addition to tofu fish head noodles, there are also fish ball noodles and shrimp ball noodles.Some people ate their fish balls and shrimp balls and thought they were delicious. Knowing that they sell fresh fish balls and shrimp balls here, after eating noodles, they weighed half a catty and went back to eat.

So even with that, Uncle Qiao's tofu and meatballs are very popular.

While weighing things for people, Uncle Qiao was cheerful, smiling until his face was covered with deep creases.

The old regular customers who often bought things from them came back, found them to buy things, and said to them while paying: "I just went there to look for you, but I didn't see you, I thought you didn't sell things today. I heard people say that you are here, so I realized that you have moved here."

"Hehe, yes, from today onwards, we will come here to sell things, and we will come here often in the future." Uncle Qiao packed the tofu for someone, collected the money, chatted with the old regulars for a while, and looked at the People are gone.

One morning, their pot of fish head tofu soup was almost sold out. There were not many fish heads, and they sold out quickly. Some people like to chew the fish heads, and the bones inside are particularly delicious.

Those who came later could only add tofu fish balls or shrimp balls and shrimp dumplings, but no fish heads.

"Oh, we've run out of fish soup. Do we have to buy some more fish and cook another pot of soup?" Huang Yan didn't expect their business to be so good and they sold out so quickly.

They cooked a large pot of fish head tofu soup in the morning, but now the soup is gone, so they have to cook a new pot, otherwise there will be no soup for noon.

"Well, I'm going to buy two fish and cook soup." Qiao Minglang was about to talk about it.

"I don't know if the second child and the second daughter-in-law are here to sell fish. You go and have a look, or I will go and have a look." Uncle Qiao heard his nephew say that he was going to buy fish. He remembered that his brother sometimes sold fish in some villages. I sell fish at the head, and sometimes I sell fish here in the town, so I let my nephew go and have a look.

Anyway, you have to buy fish from others. Instead of buying from others, it is better to buy from your own family.

"I'll go, you guys are busy here, so I'll just go." Huang Yan just washed up the dishes and had nothing to do at the moment, so she offered to buy fish.

"That's fine, I'll trouble Auntie Wu." Qiao Minglang was in charge of the noodle stall, and he couldn't walk away, so he took out money from the small bucket containing money to Auntie Wu to buy fish, and told Auntie Wu A few words about what fish to buy.

Huang Yan waved her hand and said, "I know how to buy. I've bought vegetables for decades, but I still don't know how to buy a fish. I'll go over and see, if I can find your second uncle and second mother, I'll take it from them. They're not here." Just buy it from someone else."

Picking up a towel and wiping the water off her hands, Huang Yan left the stall and went outside.

"Okay." Qiao Minglang nodded, watching Aunt Wu's figure disappear around the corner.

After a while, Huang Yan came back with two fish, one fish weighed three to four catties, and the two fish together weighed six to seven catties.Huang Yan came back and said that their second uncle and second mother were not there, and the fish they bought from others were more expensive than those they bought from their own family.

The things in the town are more expensive than those in their village. The fish and shrimp they use in the morning are taken from their own family, which is cheaper than the ones sold outside, and compared with the ones bought in the town, they are almost the same. Half the price.

When Uncle Qiao heard the price of the two fish, he said, "When I get back later, I'll tell Chungui to bring over a few more fish tomorrow."

"Yeah, I think I need it." Huang Yan still felt a little distressed about spending extra money to buy these two fish.They did not make much money in this business, and if they spent too much money on fish, they would make even less money.
