I open a small shop to support my family

It happened to be windy today, and with the wind as the medium, the scent of oden drifted farther away, attracting people to smell the scent and pull those around them to ask questions.

"Which stall?"

"What smell? It's like the smell of pepper."

"Go and have a look."

"Right on my mind."

Meng Yunshu stirred the soup with chopsticks, turned her head and asked Yu Jinyue, "Xiaoyue, have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Yu Jinyue, who was still busy looking around, was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that he pulled his small stool to move closer to Meng Yunshu's side, but kept a suitable distance, looked at the pot that was slowly boiling, and said: "Not yet, brother-in-law just give me something."

"Okay." Meng Yunshu responded, just as the bean curd and yuba at the bottom of the spicy pot were cooked, he took out a clean bamboo cup from the side basket, picked up the cooked vegetables with chopsticks in the other hand, knowing that Yu Jinyue liked it After eating noodles, he also gave him a small handful of green vegetable noodles.

Next to them was a stall selling sesame seed cakes and tofu nao. The stall owners were all elderly, with wrinkled faces. Although the clothes on their bodies were worn out and patched, they looked clean, and the whitened sleeves were still tied with rope.

As the closest to the oden stall, they are the first to smell the smell, whether it is spicy or bone soup, it attracts them all the time and makes their eyes unconsciously cast there.

After cooking for Yu Jinyue, Meng Yunshu noticed the eyes of the vendors next to him, and turned his head to meet their gazes. Before he could react, the old man selling tofu nao took the lead to look away in a panic, leaving him with a busy back .

Yu Jinyue, who was eating delicious food in a bamboo cup, caught a glimpse of Meng Yunshu's sideways movement from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Meng Yunshu turned her head, raised her head inadvertently, and saw a group of people walking towards their stall, and moved aside nervously in an instant, leaving the seat for Yu Jinyue, and took a seat away from the crowd. , not only that, but also made Yu Jinyue move forward.

Not knowing why, Yu Jinyue glanced at him and sat down randomly. Seeing that the guests were coming, he hadn't finished the breakfast in his hand, so he picked it up and blew it, and he ate it whole.

As soon as the guests who smelled the fragrance arrived, they saw him pick up the bamboo cups he had used. There was some soup in the bottom, and he also raised his head and drank it all. Bamboo Cup made another plan, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch up.

Yu Jinyue met the guest's resentful eyes, he wiped his mouth in doubt, and asked: "Two skewers for one dish of vegetables, two skewers for three skewers of meat dishes, three skewers of jade noodles and ruby ​​noodles."

"Emerald Noodles? Red Jade Noodles?" the old man beside him muttered, the name sounded interesting.

"Yes." Yu Jinyue pointed to the red and green noodles on the small table, and explained: "Green jadeite, orange-red ruby."

The people around the stall looked in the direction he pointed. They were different from the color of the noodles they usually ate, and the two colors happened to correspond to the names Jade and Ruby.

"Can this be eaten?" They haven't seen the red and green ones before, so they can't help but wonder if this is really edible?

"The color is nice, but I don't know how it tastes?"

Yu Jinyue listened to the mutterings of the crowd, and saw that they got more and more biased, and regretted that he ate too fast just now, so he should eat it in front of everyone, to prove their noodles.

Meng Yunshu on the side thought he was negligent, paused for a moment and put these two kinds of noodles into the pot separately, seeing is believing, letting them taste it is much more useful than what they said was dry mouth.

"Brother, what are you?"

Meng Yunshu stirred the noodles in the pot and said softly, "It's more useful to let them taste it."

The people gathered together understood his intentions, and they are also waiting here now.

After the noodles were cooked, Meng Yunshu asked Yu Jinhuai to bring two bamboo cups, put the noodles in them and put them on the table, and put two pairs of chopsticks in them for the guests to use.

Everyone is unwilling to be the first person to eat crabs, you look at me, I look at you, still not moving, and finally a middle-aged man moved the chopsticks first.

"How?" Seeing that he had eaten, the rest of the people asked, not only were they curious, Yu Jinyue and Meng Yunshu also became nervous, for fear that what he said would be bad.

After the middle-aged man tasted it carefully, his slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed, and he praised: "The taste is strong, not bad."

His evaluation obviously didn't reach the rest of the heart. With him at the head, everyone was scrambling to taste it.

"Five Wen's vegetarian dishes, ten Wen's meat dishes, and noodles each."

Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai obviously didn't expect him to buy Kanto cooking. After being dazed, those who collect the money collect the money, and those who get the vegetables get the vegetables. When they heard that they can choose their own dishes, the middle-aged man became interested, and carefully looked at the dishes in the pot and began to choose. .

"Spicy or bone broth?"

"Spicy."

"That's it." Yu Jinyue responded, and started excitedly. Could he not be happy about the first business deal today?

Pulling out the bamboo sticks that the man had chosen and putting them aside, and putting the dishes in the bamboo cup, Yu Jinyue said with a smile: "Chenghui 23 Wen, of which two are the deposit for the bamboo cup, and you will get back two Wen when you return the bamboo cup." , of course you can go home and get your own bowl."

The middle-aged man pays the money with one hand and cooks his own oden with the other.

Before he could leave, he couldn't wait to lift up his pants with his own bowl, and started eating beside him.

Meng Yunshu packed up the bamboo sticks and put them in the basket he brought, and turned his head to notice the middle-aged man eating happily, with a satisfied expression on his face, Meng Yunshu felt relieved.

Later, everyone seemed to have opened the door to a new world, one after another came to buy oden noodles, among which the fastest-selling noodles were jadeite and ruby ​​noodles, and the sound of copper plates being thrown into clay pots was very pleasant to Meng Yunshu's ears , Their business is good and the stalls next to them are also bustling.

-

The Yu family, everyone sat around the table in the main room. Meng Yunshu poured all the copper plates from the pot on the table. The copper plates spread out and piled up in the middle of the table. Looking at it in my hand, I reluctantly put it back after a long time.

The three grown-ups counted the money, piled it up together, and quickly counted it all.

A total of 360 articles.

When Yu Jinyue heard this number, he counted it again in disbelief. Even Yu Jinhuai didn't expect to make so much money. Yu Jinlan's eyes widened in shock. Only Meng Yunshu sat calmly. Money, sometimes deliberately keep it in mind, so that he knows it well.

Thinking about the fastest selling noodles in business today, he made a decision.

"More than 300 liters, I can earn this by working as a part-time job for a few months, and we can make so much money in less than a day by doing oden cooking. This is all for a day, and after that month..." Yu Jinyue said with his eyes shining, He was already thinking about his figure lying on the pile of money in the days to come.

"Money, money." Yu Zhining yelled, but what he was thinking about was sugar people, pastries and malt candy.

Yu Jinhuai covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look straight in. Noticing Meng Yunshu's head hanging down, he opened his lips and asked, "Ayun, what's wrong?"

Are you unhappy that you made so much money today?

Hearing the sound, Meng Yunshu raised his head to look at him, hesitated for a while before saying: "I see that the noodles are selling well today, and I think that I will sell noodles and oden separately in the future, mainly doing noodle business."

"Why, brother?" Yu Jinyue looked at the pile of money on the table, and asked suspiciously, "Today's Kanto cooking is also very good."

Meng Yunshu picked up the bowl and took a sip of water, and explained in a leisurely manner: "In winter, there are not many kinds of vegetables and meat. Compared with them, flour can be bought no matter what time of day it is."

"Of course, I don't mean not to cook oden, but to focus on noodles."

What he said is indeed reasonable, there are only a few vegetables in winter, bean curd and yuba are also Meng Yunshu's thoughts, besides, many people come here for noodles today, and Kanto cooking has become their first choice.

Although Yu Jinyue felt that what he said was right, he still couldn't get around it in his heart, and lay down on the table dullly, staring at the curtain without saying a word.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Jinhuai thought for a moment, then saw Meng Yunshu's worried expression, and suggested: "Try it for five days first, if noodles are the best seller, then follow Ayun's idea."

With Yu Jinhuai's decision, Yu Jinyue didn't get entangled anymore, he quickly got up from the table and went straight to the yard.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Looking at his cheerful figure, Meng Yunshu couldn't help laughing, turned his head and saw Yu Zhining's anxious eyes, he took out the candied haws he bought and gave each of him and Yu Jinlan one.

"I promised you, how could little uncle forget?" Meng Yunshu patted his head and watched him and Yu Jinlan leave.

The main room fell silent, only him and Yu Jinhuai were left.

Meng Yunshu got up and sat beside him, and took out two wrapped shortbreads from the basket beside him and handed them to the people around him. He didn't dare to look into Yu Jinhuai's eyes, and stared at his hand with half-downcast eyes, saying: " On the road, I ran into a seller of shortbread, which was salty and fragrant, and I thought it would be your favorite taste, so I bought two pieces."

Although it was not the first time to send Yu Jinhuai to eat, Meng Yunshu was still extremely nervous. He could clearly hear the beating heart in his chest because of anxiety, and felt his palms sweating slowly, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles for a while.

Yu Jinhuai stared at the top of his head, then moved to the shortbread in his hand, thinking about what Meng Yunshu said, his heart trembled, it turned out that not only Aning and Xiaolan had candied haws, but he also had them, this feeling of being missed was his I haven't experienced it for a long time.

He didn't move for a long time, which made Meng Yunshu almost unable to sit still, thinking that he didn't like the shortbread in his hand being caught by the person in front of him when he was about to take it back.

"I like it very much." Yu Jinhuai took it and took a serious bite. The salty smell seemed to bring me back to my childhood, when my parents were still there, and my brother was still there, and my father would always come back from the town after doing part-time jobs. Bring him a piece of shortbread and let him share it with his brother. Since he joined the army and left home, he has never eaten shortbread with this taste.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Meng Yunshu's hanging heart was relieved, and when he noticed the scorching gaze on himself, he replied without raising his head: "It's fine if you like it, I'll bring it to you next time."

There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air, as if they were enjoying this short-lived beauty, neither of them opened their mouths to speak, until Yu Jinlan rushed in, they turned around in a hurry as if awakened.
