The next day, before dawn, all 30 catties of white flour were made into cold skin, and all the seasonings and chilli oil were also prepared by Song Wan Yue.
Song’s grandmother was uneasy and instructed and instructed, “If anything really happens, bring out Lao-san, and if he can’t solve it, don’t come into this house in the future.”
Song Shu answered and waited for several people to get into the ox cart and then carefully drove to the county.
The oxcart did not go fast, and it took nearly an hour, and by the time it reached the city gates it was dawn.
Song San Xiao was waiting at the city gate and when he saw them, he came over with a big stride, “Why did you only come over, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
Saying that, his eyes fell on the loaded bullock cart and wondered, “What is this for sale?”
“Why do you care so much, lead the way.”
On the way here, Song Wangyue had already told them to let Song Sanxiao find a good place, so Song Shu did not rush to take up the space with the ox cart.
Song Sanxiao hurriedly turned around and headed towards the city, while Song Shu followed behind with the ox cart, all the way to the busiest marketplace.
The market was crowded with people, shouting and hawking.
Song Sanxiao’s place was at the east end of the market, where everyone who entered the market had to pa*s through, and it was a very spacious place.
“It’s thanks to my brother and the man who manages this bazaar that I was able to get such a good spot.”
Song San Xiao invited the credit and helped the family unload their things.
They had so much stuff and so many people that they drew a lot of looks from the people setting up stalls on the side.
“What’s this?”
Looking at the cage drawer covered by a cloth, Song San Xiao went to turn it over, but Song Wan Yue held down the cloth, “It’s a kind of food, it’s still early, there’s no hurry to sell it, Third Uncle first go and buy three tables and benches, ten bowls and ten pairs of chopsticks to come over.”
“You want to buy more?”
Song Shu unloaded the cart to the side and tethered the oxen. When he heard that he still had to buy tables, chairs and benches, he was a bit distressed, he hadn’t earned any money yet, but he was spending it first.
“We have to buy them, the ones we brought here are not enough, we may need more later.”
“Let’s make do for a day, when I get back, make a few out, it’ll be quick.”
In the countryside, people don’t buy tables, they make them themselves out of wood, they’re light and work well.
“Second brother, you don’t understand, do you? We can’t just let people squat and eat when they come, who will eat then?”
Song Shu looked at him.
Song San changed the subject, “Fine, I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll listen to Yue’er and go buy tables, chairs and benches.”
“Just buy the unusual ones.”
Song Sanxiao answered and walked away, but in a quarter of an hour he had bought them, and the shopkeeper brought them to him in a horse-drawn carriage for a total of two hundred wens.
When he saw Song Wan Yue pay the man, Song Shu was so distressed that he simply turned his face to the side and turned his eyes away.
Song San Xiao went to a nearby shop with a bucket and asked for half a bucket of water, and came back with it, panting and sitting on the bench, “Yue’er, what kind of food are we selling?
“Wait a little longer.”
“Wait? Wait until the market has dispersed.”
“Wait as long as you want, where’s the nonsense!”
Song Shu scolded, and Song San Xiao dared not squeal. The two Song Shen wiped down the tables, chairs and benches they had bought, and washed all the bowls and chopsticks as well.
The weather was heating up, and the voices of the yellers and hawkers had dried up and diminished.
Song Wan Yue put all the seasonings and chilli oil on a table, “Second Aunt, cut out five sheets of cold skin.”
Liu Cui Lan answered, lifted the drawer cloth and took out one cold skin, cut it up neatly, Song Wan Yue put in the seasoning and handed it to Song Shu, “Second Uncle, add the chilli oil yourself.”
Song San Xiao’s eyes went wide, “What kind of food is this? How, how come it’s transparent?”
He could see it clearly, when Second Sister-in-law picked it up, the sunlight could shine through the cold skin.
“Cold skin! It’s cool and smooth, and we’re getting a first here.”
“Give me one.”
Song Shu handed him his own share, fifteen yuan a piece, he couldn’t afford to eat it, he was hungry if he was hungry, the big deal was that they would buy some nests to eat after selling the money later.
Song San Xiao didn’t dare to take it.
“Second uncle, eat up, there will be more people later and you won’t be able to care.”
“But ……”
“There’s no buts, let’s eat first as a family.”
With those words, Song Wangyue gave the second bowl to Song Sanxiao.
Song Sanxiao added a bit of chilli oil herself, sat down and couldn’t wait to take a big bite, her eyes instantly widened, “My God, Yue’er, this, this, this ……”
He didn’t even know how to describe it, just felt like he had eaten all those years of rice for nothing.
Song Wangyue cut up the remaining three portions and put them in separate bowls as well, mixed the dressing, and the family sat down to eat, already hungry, plus refreshing and delicious, the family ate very sweetly.
Someone was drawn over and saw the cold skin in their bowls and was very curious, “How do you sell it?”
Song Shu’s mouth had just opened when Song Wan Yue had already answered, “Fifteen yuan a piece, however, you are the first customer today, so I will give you ten yuan.”
To people in the county, fifteen wen is neither too much nor too little, so it was good to save five wen, so he sat down immediately, “Give me one.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
Song Wangyue answered crisply, and Liu Cui Lan had already gone to cut the cold skin nimbly.
After mixing it, Song Shen brought it to this person and brought the chilli oil over as well, “You can add as much as you like according to your taste.”
“This is ……”
“Chilli oil.”
I had heard of chillies, but this was the first time I had seen chilli oil. The man scooped some up with a small spoon, mixed it in a bowl and took a bite, and the cool, fresh and spicy sensation went straight to his limbs.
“Delicious.”
After saying that, he lowered his head and ate it in a flurry, but in the blink of an eye he had eaten half of it, making the people watching on the side almost drool.
“I say, don’t stand still, everyone, have a taste, this fresh food with the chilli oil is worth fifteen yuan.”
Song Wangyue also took the opportunity to say, “It’s our first day selling today, so we’re opening for good luck, so the first ten servings are only ten yuan.”
As soon as they heard her words, they all gathered around and shouted for a share.
The stall was immediately filled with people.
Liu Cui Lan was responsible for cutting the cold skin, Song Shu was responsible for cutting the cucumber, Song Shen was responsible for serving it to the customers, Song Wan Yue was responsible for mixing it, and Song San Xiao was responsible for collecting the money.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the stall, the curtain was lifted and Gu Yi poked his head out, seeing that Song Wan Yue was there, he jumped off the carriage happily, “Little girl, why are you here?”
