joy town gl

It was misty early in the morning, Lu Tang squatted at the door of the inn, gnawed the mustache in his hand, and looked at Qingquan Mountain in the distance.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of rattles and drums. After listening carefully, the sound of the drums gradually increased. Following the sound, a peddler in the distance was carrying a pole with two baskets hanging from it.The shopkeeper came yelling all the way, until he saw Lu Tangyi, the smile on his face stopped, and the movement of turning the rattle in his hand also stopped.When Lu Tang saw someone staring at him, he also looked back at him: "Are you okay?"

"Huh?" The peddler was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and looked at the signboard of the inn again, "Oh, I'm just passing by." He started to walk again, only took two steps and stopped again, looking at Lu Tang hesitantly: " Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

When Lu Tang looked at him carefully, he was a tall man with a dark face and looked like an honest farmer. He asked who he was when he opened his mouth. Just as he was doubting himself, Wang Qi walked out of the inn, and when he saw this person, he immediately said happily: "Oh! Really! Brother, you are here, long time no see, where did you go?"

Seeing Wang Qi coming out, the man called Brother Shi grinned and said, "Hey, wasn't the town not peaceful a few days ago, so I didn't go here, and went to Zhoucheng instead."

As Wang Qi said, he went up to look at his load, and chatted with him while looking at it: "You went to Zhoucheng, did you bring back any fresh food and playthings?"

As soon as Lu Tang saw the two of them gathered by the side of the loader, he also stepped forward to watch the excitement. Brother Shi saw her coming, and said politely, "Young master, what do you want to buy?"

Wang Qi turned around and saw the politeness of the two, and slapped his forehead: "Oh! I forgot to tell you, this is Mr. Lu, the new accountant in the store."

He said to Lu Tang again: "Brother Tang, this is the most popular shopkeeper in our ten miles and eight towns. You can call him Brother Shi."

As soon as Lu Tang nodded slightly at him, he looked at the things in the cargo bag, and saw that there were snacks and pastries, dolls, wood carvings, sugar figurines, and rice paper pictures, like a small mobile supermarket.

When she was looking at it, Wang Qi had already bought a small bag of sugar cubes, "Brother Shi, haven't there been any new things in Zhoucheng recently? Why do I see that the things are similar to when you came last time?"

The salesman slapped his thigh when he heard this, and complained: "Oh, don't mention it! It's just unlucky, I hid in Taiping, but within a long time after I went there, I caught up with the martial law in Anzhou City, and people are searching everywhere Man, I didn't dare to go to the street at all, I hid in the foot shop for two days without entering anything, and I rushed back as soon as I came to Songgang."

As soon as Lu Tang heard it, he felt apprehensive, but he seemed to have no intention of opening his mouth and said, "Who are you arresting?"

"Who else could it be? The criminals we didn't catch in the past two days have been searched in ten miles and eight villages, and now they have gone to Zhoucheng again, causing a lot of trouble."

After looking through the goods, Lu Tang took a bite of the mustard cake, and took out a small bag of hawthorn cake from the basket, "I want this, did this person catch it in the end?"

"Come on, take the five cents. You must have missed it. You said that this person can really hide, so many people can't catch two of them."

When it was time to pay, Lu Tangyi remembered that he had not worked here for a full month. Hong Xier had deducted her wages for the few days at the end of last month as medical expenses, and her wages would not come until the end of this month. collar.

In the midst of embarrassment, Wang Qi took out five cents from the cloth bag in his sleeve and gave it to Brother Shi. Lu Tang smiled at her and said, "I will pay you back when I get my wages at the end of the month."

Wang Qi waved his hand, stepped back and stared at Lu Tangyi's back, and then said to the peddler, "Brother Shi, wait a moment, I'll come over when I go in to find the cold, he has been looking forward to you for a long time."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll wait here."

Lu Tang nodded to him, then turned around and entered the inn.

This morning, more and more guests came, but they didn't sit at a few tables.Lu Tang stood behind the counter and watched the guests who came to the store eating and drinking. The business was not busy, and she didn't have to help Zhang Luo to run the hall except for occasional wine and tea.

Hong Xi'er only came out to see her once today, and Lu Tangyi always felt that since Hong Xi'er said she was weird the night before yesterday, the way she looked at her seemed a bit intriguing.

"Brother Tang, serve peanuts to the guests at that table."

Wang Qi's greeting interrupted her train of thought, and Lu Tang passed the peanut plate under the counter, looked at the medium-sized raw peanuts, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.

That night, when everyone had eaten and rested, Lu Tang went to the back kitchen to find Yu Lingchu.

"Sister Yu."

At that time, Yu Lingchu and Yu Hanshi were tidying up in the back kitchen. Since she was trapped in the Ruan Mansion and was rescued last time, they talked with Hong Xier about the cause and effect of many things one by one. It has changed a lot, and I still think about her love in my heart. Anyway, I should thank her for being able to escape smoothly with my brother.

"It's Tang Yi."

"Sister Yu, I have something to ask you."

Seeing people talking seriously, Yu Lingchu put down the work in hand: "If you don't ask for advice, just tell me if you need my help."

"Then let me tell you straight, Sister Yu, how do we make our peanuts?"

"Our peanuts are all peanuts bought from outside, peeled one by one in the cold."

Lu Tangyi didn't expect this to be the answer. What he wanted to say about improved peanuts became: "Aren't there ready-made peanuts? It's the kind that has been peeled one by one."

Yu Hanshi continued from the side: "There are, but the ready-made peeled peanuts are sold directly as snacks, and the price is more expensive than shelled peanuts."

"How much do we pay for these peanuts? How much are we selling them for?"

"Our family has long-term regular vegetable farmers who deliver goods. The market price of peanuts is one penny less per catty, that is, four pennies per catty. The peanuts sold by our family are the same as the market price, and they are all eight pennies per plate. .”

Lu Tang thought about it in his heart, and after she finished speaking, he picked up a peanut, "Sister Yu, my family has a unique dish about peanuts, I wonder if we can add it to the recipe, it's also a new dish in the store snacks."

Yu Lingchu first heard that there was a new dish, and immediately became curious: "What kind of dish? Tang Yi, tell me."

"Pour oil into the pot, put peanuts on low heat, stir fry twice on high heat, then change to low heat and continue to stir fry until the surface changes color, then add sugar or salt according to your own taste, and then let it cool."

Yu Hanshi pondered at the side: "This is the first time I've heard of it, but doesn't it cost you money?"

Lu Tang thought wholeheartedly that peanut oil can be refined, that is, the current technology is not in place and cannot meet the standard requirements for food, otherwise the peanut oil is not cheaper than lard and mutton oil, and it is not worse than soybean oil and sesame oil.

"Peanuts don't need oil, a spoonful of oil can fry a lot of peanuts, and this stuff is very good for wine, and the sales of our wine will also increase a lot by then."

"I'm hungry for what I said, sister, why don't we try?"

Yu Lingchu was also a little tempted when he heard it. The siblings immediately filled the small stove with firewood and served peanuts: "Tang Yi, come here and show us. Let's fry a plate now."

Peanuts are easy to stir-fry, and after a while, a plate of fragrant salt-and-pepper peanuts comes out of the pan.The three of them tasted one with chopsticks, and Yu Han immediately glared: "Mother! I only know that peanuts smell good, but I didn't expect it to smell so good!"

Yu Lingchu chewed the peanuts in his mouth, savoring them carefully in his heart: "The fragrance is strong, but it's a bit soft. If it's more crispy, the taste will be better."

Lu Tang, who hadn't had this bite for a long time, felt a lot of emotion in her heart. This was the snack she ate most often in the era when she lived.

"Sister Yu is indeed an expert. We are a little soft because they are still hot just out of the pan. The peanuts should be colder, and they will be more crunchy when eaten."

Yu Lingchu nodded and said: "It's fragrant but not greasy, and has a strong taste. If we introduce this dish, maybe we can really attract a group of drinkers. I'll go and tell Sanniang early tomorrow morning. Tang Yi, you really have it .”

Lu Tang waved her hand. It was just a plate of peanuts, and the peanuts were really too small. If there was a field of peanuts, she would definitely double the quality and quantity of the harvest.

"What do you eat?"

Wang Qi came in from the outer room and saw the three happily eating with a plate of food, so he leaned over and sniffed it: "Oh! It smells so good."

"Brother Qi, try it, this is the dish that Tang Yixin taught us, it tastes very delicious."

Wang Qi knew it was right when he smelled the fragrance, and without thinking too much, he directly took Yu Lingchu's chopsticks beside him, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth: "Mmm! Peanuts, how can they smell so good?"

"That's right, it's also the first time I've eaten it." Yu Han had already spent a lot of time talking, and Lu Tang was also happy when he saw that these people praised them.Only Yu Lingchu, who was still smiling at first, saw Wang Qi use the chopsticks he had used without any scruples, for some reason, an inexplicable emotion flashed in his heart, and his face flushed slightly.

"Sister Yu, we can sell this in the future as a snack."

Seeing Wang Qi's indifferent appearance and even eating happily, Yu Lingchu quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart: "Well, I'll talk to Sanniang tomorrow."

When Lu Tang saw that everyone was happy to praise her, she felt relieved. As long as Hong Xier had eaten tomorrow and felt good, then her goal of the first step would be achieved.Although Huanxi Inn is an old store, it is too conservative after all. The real estate of Huanxi Town is rich and the people live a good life. She has read last year's account book these days, and the income can only be said to be barely passable, and it seems that there is no change at all. further space.If you improve the menu of the store, you will definitely earn more money than now.In this way, he can not only repay Hong Xier's life-saving grace, but also protect his own personal safety.Don't care if you're weird or not, even if you're weird, you're still a useful weird person, no one will have trouble with money, it's always good to keep her and make money.

Lu Tangyi: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest first. I have recalled a few hometown dishes in the past two days. I will talk to the shopkeeper tomorrow, and we can try them all."

The brothers and sisters of the Yu family were delighted to hear this, and replied: "That's a good idea! Let's study it carefully tomorrow. The business has not been good for the past two days. If we improve the dishes, we might be able to make more money."
