The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Two people jumped out from the school wall.

Looking down at his hands, he rubbed his thumb and index finger. Zhou Xing still remembered the feeling of holding Qiao's waist just now.Looking up at Qiao's back, his eyes fell on the boy's waist, Zhou Xing nodded seriously in his heart, um, it's quite thin.

Qiao Minglang walked ahead, his eyes fixed on a row of bicycles outside the corner, and there was an old man sitting beside him to help others look at the bicycles.

Seeing two students standing here, the old man's eyes were a little wary, afraid that someone would steal the bicycle.He helps people look at bicycles here every day, and only charges [-] cents to look at one. If a bicycle is lost, he looks at it for a month, and the money for the bicycle is not enough to pay for it.

"What are you looking at, aren't you going to find your cousin?" Seeing Qiao Minglang standing there without moving, Zhou Xing leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Speak as you speak, don't come so close to me." Qiao Minglang was very sensitive to the smell of people approaching. As soon as Zhou Xing approached, the hot air of speaking hit his neck, and he subconsciously moved away.

His dodging made Young Master Zhou very dissatisfied, and he deliberately approached him, "What's the matter if you get closer?"

"I don't have body odor. You can smell it. I don't have any odor." As he said that, Master Zhou raised his hand and walked over to let others smell it.

Qiao Minglang pushed the man's hand away with a look of disgust, and walked forward.

Seeing Qiao Minglang leaving with a dark face, Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing. He just found out that teasing Qiao Minglang is a great joy in his life. If he makes the other person angry, he will feel happy.

With a stride of long legs, he caught up with Qiao, who was walking in front, in two or three steps.

Having not smoked for a long time, Zhou Xing took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.From the previous few times, he knew that Qiao Minglang didn't like the smell of cigarettes. He didn't light the cigarette, but just held it in his mouth.

There was a cigarette in his mouth, but this did not prevent him from talking to Qiao Minglang, "Should we find a place to eat?"

"If you want to eat, go and eat, I won't eat." Qiao Minglang said without looking back.

He just wants to go to the store to have a look.

"Hey, don't worry about it. People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry." It's noon now, and the little thing he ate in the morning is long gone. Qiao Minglang's stomach is not hungry, his I'm hungry.

Feeling empty, Zhou Xing asked the vendor to buy him two pancakes when he saw a seller of pancakes on the side of the road.

"faster."

Seeing that Qiao Minglang really left without waiting for him, Qiao Minglang's people had already left after the two pancakes were ready.

"Here's your money." After taking the pancake fruit and throwing the money to the peddler, Zhou Xing hurriedly chased after him, gave one of the pancake fruit to Qiao Minglang, and ate one by himself, accusing someone while eating. Don't wait for him.

"Why don't you wait for me?"

"Why are you waiting?"

"You ate my pancake fruit."

"It's back to you."

"No, you've already eaten."

"Forget it..."

……

On the way, the two of them ate a pancake fruit each, and they arrived at the farmer's market.

"Brother." Qiao Minglang saw his brother stepping on the ladder as soon as he came, and shouted from below.

As soon as Qiao Mingshan turned around, he saw that his cousin was coming, with a smile on his face, he let out a hey, and said, "Minglang, you're here, wait for me to hang up before you go down."

On the way here, Zhou Xing already knew about Qiao Minglang's cousin renting a shop outside. He had seen Qiao Minglang's cousin last time.His impression of this person was neither good nor bad. To him, this person was at best a stranger whom he had met once.

Seeing such a palm-sized shop, Master Zhou wondered how he could rent such a small place.

"I'm still wondering if you'll come over. Isn't your school unable to come out now? Why did you come out? I found a place to put up a sign this morning, how do you see it?" Qiao Mingshan saw Zhou Xing and knew This is my cousin's classmate, and he said hello to him.

There are three words written on the signboard: a bowl of noodles.

The name is simple and realistic, and it was decided by the two of them after discussion.In fact, Qiao Minglang chose it. Qiao Mingshan had no objection to his cousin's name, so he decided to use it.

"Well, it's pretty good." Qiao Minglang nodded and said.

"A bowl of noodles?" Seeing the three words on the plaque, Zhou Xing thought to himself who would be so stupid to choose such a name.

But fortunately he didn't say this, otherwise he would definitely be blown away by the two brothers.

This morning, Qiao Mingshan was busy with the signboards in their store, before he had time to eat, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"The gas cylinders and briquettes have been brought here. We don't lack anything here. Why don't I go buy something and come back and get some food for you." He has been eating out during this time, and the food bought outside is expensive and not good. Eat, where is the cost-effective way they make it themselves.

They have all the pots and pans here. Instead of going out to buy food, it is better to buy some food and cook it yourself.

I ate a pancake just now, but after walking all the way, the pancake I ate was almost digested.Thinking that they will open tomorrow, Qiao Minglang said: "Let's go buy a piece of fish and tofu and come back to make soup. Let's try it today. It will open tomorrow. Let's see if there is anything missing. Buy it together, don't worry about it." I forgot to buy something."

"Oh, okay, I'll go buy it, you just wait here." Qiao Mingshan said.

"I'll go with you." Qiao Minglang looked at Zhou Xing, wanting Zhou Xing to stay here to help them look after the shop.Zhou Xing said quickly, "I'll go with you too."

Qiao Minglang had no choice but to let Zhou Xing go with them.

Their store is right here at the farmer's market, where you can buy everything, and it's very convenient to buy things.

"Let's go buy some fish first."

"okay."

Qiao Mingshan had already been familiar with the farmer's market. Knowing where to buy fish, he took his cousin to buy fish.However, he is obviously not as good as his cousin when it comes to picking fish.Qiao Minglang caught a fish with a net, and said to the boss: "Boss, we want this fish."

"Okay, eight taels a catty." The boss quoted a price and asked, "Do you want to kill?"

"Kill it, and cut it into pieces for us by the way." Qiao Minglang asked the boss to kill the fish.

The boss killed the fish neatly, took a bag to fill it in, and handed it over.

"Boss, money." Qiao Mingshan reached out to take the fish, paid the money, and the group went to buy other things.

I haven't bought their seasonings, onions, ginger, garlic, etc., and I have to buy all these things.

When cooking fish, you need to use onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell. These things are indispensable.

It was the first time for President Zhou to visit the vegetable market with someone at his age, and he felt very novel about the things in the vegetable market.Seeing Qiao Minglang skillfully pick and choose, he leaned close to Qiao Minglang's ear and asked, "Do you often visit this kind of place?"

Isn't it normal?Qiao Minglang glanced at Zhou Xing and asked, "Haven't you been here?"

"I've been here, of course I have been here." Young Master Zhou poked his neck, even if he hadn't been here, he would still say he had.

Qiao Minglang glanced at Zhou Xing, and handed the pickled green onion, ginger and garlic to the boss, who asked him to weigh it.

After a few people bought something, they returned to their shop.

The bought fish should be cleaned, and the tofu should be cut into small pieces, and the green onion, ginger and garlic should be cut for later use.

The two brothers work together, and work quickly.

Only Young Master Zhou stood by and watched, not knowing what to do at all, "Do you want me to do something?"

"No need." Qiao Minglang glanced at this person, thinking that it would be good if he didn't come to make trouble.

Seeing that everything was ready, Qiao Mingshan said, "I'll do it next, and you can see if I'm doing it right." After all, he will still be in charge of the shop in the future, and my cousin still has to study, so he doesn't come here every day. There will be a lot, and he still needs to do these things by himself in the future, and he can't rely too much on his cousin.

"Okay, you do it." Qiao Minglang asked his cousin to do it. He washed the sauerkraut, squeezed two handfuls of water, and put it in a basin for later use.I washed and sliced ​​the pork I bought, cut the onion into sections, patted two bites of garlic, and chopped a little pepper.

Over there, Qiao Mingshan fried the fish, poured water into it to cover the fish, covered the lid, boiled the soup over high heat, and then went to knead the noodles to make noodles.

Here, Qiao Minglang has cut up the sauerkraut and pork belly, and is ready to stir-fry.

Shila-

Once the oil is in the pan, put the onion, ginger, garlic and chili and stir-fry. After frying the aroma, pour the pork belly in, and the aroma will come out immediately.

They turned on two stoves and two pots, one for stewing soup and the other for stir-frying vegetables.

"Well, it smells so good." Young Master Zhou came over as soon as he smelled the scent, and drooling when he smelled the scent, he turned to look at Qiao Minglang and said, "I never thought you could cook."

"Stay away, the oil will splash on your clothes in a while." Qiao Minglang bent the man with his elbow, and told him to stand far away, so as not to get in the way.Master Zhou just refused to leave, he just wanted to stay by the side, "If it splashes, it will splash, just go back and wash it."

Qiao Minglang had no choice but to ignore this person as he had no choice but to ignore him.

After the pork belly simmers for a while, pour in the sauerkraut and stir fry together.

As soon as the scent from their side dissipated, people passing by asked, "Your store is newly opened, what kind of food do you sell?"

It happened to be lunch time at noon, and everyone was hungry after a busy morning. They were looking for something to eat nearby, and they came here when they smelled their aroma.

The fish soup in the pot was almost stewed, Qiao Mingshan put the tofu in it, and when someone asked, he responded with a smile: "We are selling pasta, but we will not officially open until tomorrow."

"Oh, that's it, then I'll take a look tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, remember to come here tomorrow, brother, go slowly."

Then several people came to ask questions, and Qiao Mingshan told others with a smile that they would not be able to open until tomorrow.Hearing that others have not opened yet, these people have to go to other places to eat first.
