Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Lin's Inn has been in a tepid state in Anping County.There are customers, but there are not so many customers. The money earned can sustain life, but not too much.

Today they hung a sign on the door, which made everyone a little curious. It said that the Lin Family Inn has a new dish, what is it called "Ants Climb the Tree"?It is said that it is still sold and supplied, only [-] copies a day.

Can ants be eaten?I heard that in the mountain forest areas in the south, there are people who eat grasshoppers, cicadas, and centipedes and scorpions. Everyone just hears it as a joke. Where can these things be eaten?Unless it is poor and crazy, or when there is a famine, if there is good rice and noodles, who will eat this?

Now someone in their county wants to eat ants, how can this not become a topic?Someone said, this share must be very small, the ants are so small, how many nests have to be dug out in a day!Someone said again, isn't there still climbing a tree?What is that tree?

There are different opinions, and the population holds different opinions, but no one dares to come to order this dish. Who hasn't eaten ants?Is it necessary to eat when the food is usually climbed?Pay money to eat this, unless they're out of their minds!

But there really was someone who got into the water!A man dressed as a rich man walked in wobbly, ordered this as soon as he entered, and said that if he was not satisfied, he would ask the boss of the Lin family to look good!

Everyone was sweating for him, guessing in their hearts that the Lin Family Inn might be going to be the leader today.

The boss of the Lin family was also calm, and after taking the order, he asked Xiaoer to go to the kitchen. After a while, a plate of dishes was served, which looked black, and it really looked like it was made by ants.

The rich young master smelled the fragrance, first he poked the plate with his chopsticks, although he usually likes novelty things, but if he really wanted to eat a large group of ants, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Except for some common ingredients such as minced meat, chopped green onion, minced ginger, and garlic cloves, there are only slippery and thick things on the plate.This young master didn't go to the side of the river, so naturally he didn't know hot and sour vermicelli.

The fragrance is quite fragrant, the rich young master thought, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the boss would not dare to poison him, so he took a bite out of his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

The entrance is full of sauce, smooth and delicious, the meat and that thing are quite elastic to chew, and there is a slight spicy as a foil.The young master took a bite and immediately said, "Two steamed buns."

The steamed buns are made of pure white flour, which is more delicious than the steamed buns. The two steamed buns are served with this plate of "ants climbing the tree", and they are eaten quickly.

In this way, the young master is also full.He looked at an empty plate on his table, and it was hard to imagine that he actually ate a meal with one dish and two steamed buns, and he was still so full?Which meal is not usually eaten slowly with four or five dishes and a pot of small wine?

In order to hide his embarrassment, he called Xiaoer over and asked, "What's the matter with you ants climbing the tree? There are neither ants nor trees, are you fooling people?"

Lin Dongdong glanced at the sauce that hadn't been wiped off his mouth, feeling a little disdainful in his heart, as long as it's delicious, it's delicious, what's the point of saving face!But he still explained to him with a smile on his face, "Master, there is a reason for the name of our dish. Think about it, the meat was small, the vermicelli was thick, and the meat was mixed with the vermicelli. When you pick it up, doesn't it look like the ant crawling on the tree?"

"So that's the case, vermicelli is rare, why don't they sell it in other places?" The young master thought about it and thought it was similar, so he went down the steps generously and asked about vermicelli instead.

"You're right, a relative of ours learned this rare thing from afar. We are really the only family in this land. If you want to eat it, you can only come to us." Lin Dongdong said sharply, It was clear at once.

The rich young master didn't ask any more questions, and others couldn't tell him if he asked, so he paid the bill generously and left. Thirty Wen a meal is not expensive at all. Usually, one or two hundred Wen is not enough, and the money is less. Others thought that his family was in trouble!

If there is one, there will be two. When it was sold in the afternoon, the thirty plates of "Ants Climbing the Tree" were really sold out, and anyone who came to ask again said they didn't have any.Only then did everyone realize that the limit was not just for fun.

If there are those who haven’t eaten it, they think that they will eat it early tomorrow. It’s not unaffordable to spend [-] yuan to eat something new. It’s better than the feeling that everyone has eaten and you are left behind.

Of course, people from well-to-do families think this way. If the family is not so good, they have to think twice even if they spend three renminbi to eat a bowl of plain noodles. How can they get thirty renminbi to eat something new?

When Zhang Shu and the others came back from closing the stall at night, Lin Dongdong ran up to Zhang Shu very excitedly, "Brother Zhang Shu, this thing has been sold. My father said that it costs ten catties every day."

"Okay!" This is exactly what Zhang Shu wanted. If he could make money from dry vermicelli, he would not come out to set up a stall. This job is to make money, but after setting up a stall for a few days, Jin'er lost weight after looking at it. It is not good to eat.

In addition, his grandparents are almost 70 years old. As the saying goes, people live to be [-] years old. If something happened to the two of them at home alone, he would regret it.

More than 70 catties of dry vermicelli were sold for 20 catties on the first day, and another [-] catties were sold today, plus the [-] catties sold to the Lin family inn, there are still more than [-] catties now, and another [-] catties will be sold to the Lin family. There are eleven or two catties left, so it is estimated that the stall can be collected and returned in the afternoon.

In fact, the stalls were closed earlier than Zhang Shu estimated, because three big boats came to the river one after another today.As early as when the people from the second boat came down, their hot and sour vermicelli were sold out, and the people behind were still wanting to eat.

It's still early, so Zhang Shu is not in a hurry to go back.After returning the table according to one day's rent, Zhang Shu asked Wang and He Yue, and found that they were not in the mood to take a stroll, so he asked them to look at the stall, and then strolled along the river with Li Mujin.

This side sells breakfast and food, and after a while, there is a large open space, which is the place where the merchants unload the boats and do business.There will be a fair here in about five days, and usually you have to wait for the big ship to come, and the time is uncertain.

Naturally, big merchants would not sell their goods here, as this would lower their prices.But the small merchants who go with the boat and the boatman who punted the boat will put the goods here directly for everyone to choose.

Li Mujin and Zhang Shu walked over, seeing so many hard-to-see seafood and other things shipped from Nanhai County, their eyes were dazzled.

They walked and watched all the way, but Li Mujin didn't dare to ask the price easily, for fear that it would be bad if he didn't buy it.Since ancient times, things are rare and expensive, and so many uncommon things must be expensive.

Zhang Shu is different, he lived for 50 to [-] years longer, and some things that are expensive and uncommon at this time are not common in his place, at least they are very common, so naturally he will not have such things. idea.

Seeing that Li Mujin's family didn't ask any questions, Zhang Shu asked, "Jin'er, do you not like the things here?"

Li Mujin looked at him in surprise, "How could it be, I think the things here must be very expensive, just take a look."

Zhang Shu pointed to the things that the porters were carrying in the distance, "See? The real valuables are there. Compared with the stores in the city, the things here are a little cheaper."

This is like one is purchased directly by the manufacturer, and the other is retailed by the store, the price is of course different.Although the purchase price of these street vendors is even cheaper, but if this income, why do others work so hard?

After hearing this, Li Mujin felt a little more at ease. In fact, he did have something he wanted to buy just now.He pulled Zhang Shu back, walked to a place selling dried shrimps, looked at the peddler sitting on the bench, and asked tentatively, "Brother, may I ask what the dried shrimps in your pocket are?" What selling method?"

The man took a look at Zhang Shu and Li Mujin, and found that although they were not dressed in the best clothes, they didn't have any patches on them, so they should be able to do business.

So he said enthusiastically, "My husband, these dried shrimps are all caught in the sea. They are delicious. Whether they are fried or stewed, they are delicious. This one only costs seventy yuan a catty, half a catty We also sell it."

Seventy cents a catty!As long as it is!Li Mujin backed down a little, he had never bought such an expensive thing before!

But Zhang Shu held him back, since Li Mujin liked it, let alone seventy Wen a catty, even if it was a hundred Wen a catty, he had to buy it for him to taste.

He knelt down and pinched the dried shrimp in the bag with his hands, and found that the meat was firm and dry to the touch, and it should not be weighed.

"Can I try one?"

"Taste it, it's okay." This person is also open-minded, and he can't be too cautious in business, and those who don't buy it won't take advantage of it anyway.

Zhang Shu twisted off the head of the shrimp, peeled off the shell, and stuffed the meat into Li Mujin's mouth, "How is it?"

Li Mujin was caught off guard and was stuffed with a mouthful of shrimp. He chewed and said, "Fresh! Sweet! Delicious!"

Zhang Shu saw that he was so satisfied, so he said, "Brother, give me a catty."

"Okay! The scale is definitely high!" Sitting here this morning, what I bought was one or two taels, and the really rich would not buy it here, and now I sold it all at once. Jin, the street vendor is naturally smiling.

Wrapped it with a large piece of oiled paper, and the vendor didn't break his promise. He really gave it a high price, and it seemed that he could give half a tael more.

Since he bought everything, Li Mujin paid the money generously.

Next, the two of them bought a bundle of kelp and went back to cook soup, and bought a big dried herring, which was half the length of a person when they hugged it.

Someone who sells jujubes from the north also bought half a catty to eat.There is also that big, bright red apple, I also bought a few and went back to taste it.

They also bought dried longan from the south. I heard that it is good for people with blood deficiency. Li Mujin's hands and feet are cold every day when he sleeps, so it is good for him to eat.

The two also found a seller of honey at a stall, put them in small jars and placed them there.

Li Muzhen pulled Lazhangshu, "It's good for the old man to eat some honey, let's buy it back and give it to grandma?" His father got some back before and sent them to his natal family. His grandma died Good morning, no such luck.

Zhang Shu nodded and said with a smile, "I am not as good as a grandson than you are a grandson. You can buy it when you say it."

Li Mujin thumped him, "What are you talking about, I know you are worried about it!"

After buying honey, the two of them walked to the stall. The big and small bags couldn't be carried in their hands.
