Chapter 238

Three days later, An Xu and Zong Che rode into Huoliang City on horseback.

After leaving for nearly four months and coming back again, this place has changed a lot. The rule of entering the city has been abolished at the city gate, and the people who have grown sweet potatoes and finally have a surplus of food come into the city.

Take the extra sweet potatoes at home, and the brooms you pierce in your spare time, and sell them for money.

Therefore, the whole city is in a mess, and there are stalls everywhere. When An Xu saw this, he felt that although the place in the capital was too luxurious, some still needed to be used for reference.

For example, the rules for setting up stalls at designated locations need to be regulated in Huoliang City.

The magistrate of Huoliang was Xia Yunfeng sent by the previous court. Judging from the situation in the city, since An Xu and Zong Che left, he should have ignored everything.

Taking the main road from the city gate to the center, they saw several waves of guards charging people who set up stalls on the roadside.

The entry fee was canceled by Zong Che before. Unexpectedly, the people in the magistrate's yamen would not even be willing to part with the meat from the mosquito's legs. If there is no entry fee, they will have to make up for it in the city.

Zong Che wrapped An Xu in his arms, pulled the rein, and whispered in her ear, "Go to the government office first to have a look."

If Xia Yunfeng really felt that it was difficult to develop his talents here, he could send him back.

Some people just don't know how to have a long memory. No matter how much they beat, they always forget the pain when the scar is healed.

"Fried sweet potatoes, whirlwind tower, two yuan each. It's delicious and affordable, stop and try."

Following the yelling, An Xu saw a small shop facing the street in front of it. The small shop was specially decorated. The half-person-high operating table faced the street, and the oil pan and stove were placed behind it.

Next to it is the place where sweet potatoes are processed.

Zong Che helped An Xu down, and the person who was shouting saw them, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over and shouted, "Sister Xu, brother-in-law. You are back? Go to the store for a rest."

The owner of this small business is An Xiang's cousin of the uncle's family. Before they entered the city, An Xu gave many recipes for pie joints and snacks, and she even drew pictures for some that needed auxiliary tools.

This hand-rotary tool, which peels out potato whirlwind towers, is one of them.

Although there are no potatoes yet, making it with sweet potatoes has a special flavor.

The third cousin wanted to do this business, An Xu knew it, but it was the first time he came to see it. Unexpectedly, the business was not bad, and there was a long queue in front of the small door.

An Xiang didn't care about the business for the time being, and led them into the store through the small door next to him.

Because it is only a small business, although they are too busy every day, An Xiang and his wife did not hire small workers, so only their husband and wife and their daughter An Ting are busy.

The third cousin has a son and a daughter, his son An Lin, who is missing at this time, probably went to study in a private school in Fucheng with An Hua.

An Ting is the elder sister, but she is only ten years old this year.

An Xu didn't drink tea after she came in. Seeing that the third cousin was not in charge of frying, the third sister-in-law and An Ting were too busy there, so she went to help.

Without doing anything else, she took over the job of peeling sweet potatoes, which An Ting was not very proficient in.

An Ting was very obedient, An Xu asked her to go aside, and she got up, which surprised An Xiang and his wife, almost saying in unison: "No."

An Xiang said: "There is nothing to entertain, how can I let you work?"

"I'm used to doing things in the kitchen. It's almost like playing." An Xu said with a smile.

The people waiting outside saw the new woman turning the thing back and forth, and a long, clean-skinned whirlwind tower came out.

I saw the little girl holding the thing before, as if struggling.

This lady is very proficient as soon as she gets started. You say it's all doing work, but she still has a sense of beauty in doing it.

The few people in front who could see the situation inside all smiled and said: "Sure enough, this lady is really playing like playing."

An Xiang didn't want to fight for it, so he walked over, and after selling the pot of fried food, he apologized to the waiting diners and pulled down the door above.

"Cousin, I'll be leaving in a while, why did you stop your business?" An Xu said with a smile, and taught An Ting the hand crank machine that had just installed a sweet potato, and patted her on the shoulder. "You are really too busy here, you can hire a small worker."

An Xiang still insisted on closing the door, tidied up the things on the table casually, and led them to the backyard. Hearing this, he said, "I have this plan, but I haven't been able to find a suitable one."

After Zong Che came to this small shop, he sat at the small square table where An Xiang invited them to sit, drinking a glass of tasteless white water.

The front is not a place to entertain guests, and An Xiang doesn't drink tea himself, so they don't even have tea at home.

However, just sitting there, Zong Che made the small shop look a bit narrower, and just seeing his handsome face, he felt that the small shop was also brightened up.

An Xu pulled him to the back together.

He was a little bored, not putting on airs. When he was in the village, he didn't have any relationship with An Xu and his cousins.

It's really nothing to say, drinking water can make it look less embarrassing.

An Xu said in a low voice, "Leave in a while."

Zong Che said: "I have to go around anyway, don't you want to eat that whirlwind tower?"

An Xu: "I don't have one."

But in front of Zong Che, it seemed that all duplicity could not be concealed, so she could only smile: In the two or three months in the south, she had never eaten fried food at all.

As for fried food, especially starch-rich food, if you don’t eat it for a while, you will miss the burnt taste.

Zong Che's face was still serious, but he raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

I don't know if she and Zong Che had heard what she and Zong Che had said. Not long after they sat down in the backyard, Mrs. Santang brought over a woven bamboo plate with more than a dozen strings of whirlwind towers.

An Xu was a little embarrassed, but still picked up a bunch and ate it.

He took another bunch and handed it to Zong Che.

Zong Che had no burden and ate with her.

An Ting brought over two small dishes of dipping sauce.

An Xu dipped Zong Che before dipping his own.

Seeing the third cousin's family watching them eat, An Xu smiled embarrassedly and said, "You guys eat too."

An Xiang said, "We just had lunch, so we're not hungry. Hu'er, how about you eating what I made?"

"It's delicious," An Xu said, "especially this dipping sauce, which is very well done. But both dipping sauces are sweet and sour, you can add a salty and fragrant one. I wrote it in the recipe A dry chili dipping sauce on it is very good."

An Xiang wanted to say something else, but when he heard the last sentence, he said, "Forget it. With the two dipping ingredients you prepared for this whirlwind tower, our business is already very good."

An Xu took a sip and asked with a smile: "You can't get those prescriptions now, third cousin, right?"

An Xiang raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, "It's not that I can't get it. When the family separated, it was agreed that those big cuisines belong to the big brother. You know the big brother, you know, he is very considerate. For those of us brothers and sisters, I will definitely give them if I ask for them. But it is always not good for my sister-in-law to know."
