Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 193 Setting up a stall
Xia Yue suddenly realized, and the fog in her heart dissipated like the mist in the morning light. Previously, she only knew that being close to Minghua College meant more opportunities, but she had never thought deeply about the various considerations behind it.
At this moment, her thoughts seemed to be blown open by the spring breeze, and she suddenly became clear.
Before anyone could react, Xiao Youniang quickly expressed her opinion: "If you really want to do business in front of the academy, the best time is in the afternoon. Set up your stall a quarter of an hour before the end of class, just in time to welcome the students who will pour in after school. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of customers and business will be booming."
There was a gleam of confidence in her eyes, as if she had foreseen the lively scene.
"My ladies are truly very knowledgeable. After lunch, I will immediately start preparing the potatoes."
Xia Yue's words were full of respect, and her tone was filled with sincere admiration for the young lady's wisdom.
Her face was filled with anticipation, as if she had already seen the picture of success.
The three of them headed for Anshun Street. Although this road was only two blocks away from Huaishu Street, it required walking through winding alleys and along the bluestone paved road for about twenty minutes to reach the destination.
When we arrived, the sky was already turning pale and the market was already bustling with people, all kinds of sounds interweaving into the unique melody of the morning.
This market is held every three days and has become an excellent place for neighbors to exchange what they have and what they need. There is a wide variety of goods on display, satisfying people's daily needs.
With his keen eyes, Zhang Laoer selected an excellent geographical location and tied the carriage securely next to a lush sycamore tree. The stall was placed right next to it, as if it was a spot specially reserved for this stall.
All around, various vendors are dotted like stars, some exuding the tempting aroma of tea eggs, some with steaming pancakes, and there are also mountains of fresh vegetables, which are dazzling and mouth-watering.
Zhang Laoer deftly took out a small portable stove, which was obviously specially customized for pancakes. It was easy to operate and carry.
The oil pan slowly heated up, Xu Liyun carefully poured in clear oil, Xia Yue and the sisters cooperated tacitly and quickly arranged the folding tables and chairs. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, as if a drama was about to begin, waiting for the audience to arrive.
Their action aroused the curiosity of an elderly stall owner nearby, who widened her eyes with surprise.
In her opinion, this way of using oil is almost luxurious, and she secretly wondered: How can this young man dare to use expensive cooking oil so generously? Isn't he afraid of losing money? Moreover, can the appetite of customers withstand such greasy food?
Finally, curiosity drove her to ask, "Girl, what kind of delicacy are you making that you actually...use oil so generously?"
While talking, although he did not feel sorry for wasting his own fuel, he was also puzzled by this seemingly wasteful behavior.
Xu Liyun responded with a gentle smile and patiently explained: "Auntie, we are making 'wolf tooth potatoes'. They must be fried to highlight their unique flavor, so we can't save oil. They will be out of the pot soon, and you are welcome to taste them."
This confidence and enthusiasm warmed the old woman's heart.
Xu Liyun began to put the cut potato slices into the oil pan one by one, and suddenly, crackling sounds were heard.
Before long, the ordinary potato chips were transformed into a golden delicacy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
She quickly scooped it up and placed it in a quaint wooden basin.
At this time, Zhang Wuya stood aside, directing Xia Yue to sprinkle five-spice chili powder, green onions, and fresh coriander, and then drizzle soy sauce and vinegar. Each seasoning seemed like a painter's palette, adding an artistic atmosphere to this ordinary stall.
"Xia Yue, follow my example and stir gently to make sure every piece of potato is coated with the aroma of the seasoning."
Zhang Wuya's instructions were particularly clear in the steam. The wolf tooth potatoes in the wooden basin looked even more rosy and attractive in the sun. The perfect blend of spicy and fragrant taste exuded an irresistible temptation, making passers-by stop and swallow.
Xia Yue was concentrating on her studies, occasionally unable to resist swallowing the saliva that was about to overflow.
When Zhang Wuya divided the food into two bowls and invited Xiao Youniang to sit down with her to taste the food, Xia Yue seemed a little shy.
With Xiao Youniang's encouragement, she slowly sat down. A rich aroma hit her face, and she couldn't help but let go of her restraint and tasted it with big mouthfuls.
As the young lady ate, she said, "Xia Yue, if you like it, just say it out loud. Food is all about sharing happiness."
Her demonstration boosted the atmosphere around her, filling the entire stall with a joyful vibe.
As the market gradually became lively, this street, which was the main access to the city, became bustling with pedestrians and carriages.
Passersby saw the three people enjoying their meal so much and couldn't help but come forward to ask curiously, wanting to find out what was going on.
More and more pedestrians were attracted by the charming aroma and gathered in front of the stall, full of curiosity about this novel food.
Zhang Laoer didn't expect that customers would come in an endless stream.
He quickly prepared a toothpick, picked up a piece of potato and tasted it, then announced loudly: "This is our freshly cooked wolf tooth potato, spicy, crispy and refreshing, only seven cents a portion, welcome to try it first!"
A woman was moved by the scene of Xiao Youniang and others eating so contentedly that all her doubts were swept away. She immediately placed an order: "Boss, I want one too."
Zhang Laoer responded quickly: "Okay, sir, please sit here for a while. I will get you a bowl. If you need to pack it up, you have to pay an extra two cents for the packaging fee."
The woman wanted to try something new and naturally didn't want to pay more for take-away food, so she chose to enjoy it on the spot.
Zhang Laoer moved quickly. While preparing potatoes, he also reminded the two sisters to give up their seats for the guests, and turned around to continue his busy work.
Xiao Youniang was secretly pleased to see her strategy paying off. She whispered to Xu Liyun, who was still frying potatoes, "See, this is the method of 'tempting people with food and winning their stomachs with your first words.'"
Xu Liyun had a playful smile on her lips, and her eyes were sly: "You clever fellow, don't be too happy too soon. When doing business, you still have to take it slow and steady, step by step."
From dawn to noon, dozens of golden and crispy potatoes found new owners amidst the laughter and conversation.
"It's getting late, let's close the stall."
Zhang Wuya looked at the crowd that was gradually thinning out. The market began to return to tranquility, and even the surrounding vendors began to pack up and go home.
Zhang Laoer gently stroked the silver and copper coins that jingled in the cloth bag, with a satisfied smile on his face: "That's just what I want. Let's take a short rest in the afternoon and fight again in front of Minghua College in the evening. Our potato business is far from over."
Although each profit is small, just like water dripping through stone, with low costs and unique raw materials, these small profits have also gathered into a considerable force.
