90s Little Struggle

Chapter 78 Enemy
There are more people on the old street and it is more lively.

Louder than the sound of firecrackers is the popcorn being made, the crowing of chickens, ducks and geese, and the sound of bargaining.

Xiao Hong bought a package of fragrant and crispy twists, Xiao Fang bought malt candy knocked out with a stick and hammer, and also bought Yanyan orange candies wrapped in plastic paper in the shape of oranges, chicken leg bread and other snacks that people could not refuse.

There are also gloves, hats and scarves that the handy elder sister hooked some wool for sale, they are so beautiful, even Xiao Hong couldn't help but choose three light blue woolen hats, with a ball on top, matching the same Very cute scarf.

The two sisters put it on immediately, and they were very satisfied with each other's image.

Xiao Fang motioned her to look forward: "Look, Su Ji Lo-Mei is in front of you."

He leaned close to her and said in a low voice: "The name of our store is not impressive enough, why don't we change it?"

Xiao Hong looked in the direction she pointed. The long chopping board at the door blocked the door. There were pots of lo mei on the chopping board. There were five or six customers around the door asking the price. A smiling middle-aged woman was standing there. cut meat.

When she saw a man and a woman next to her, she trembled uncontrollably, gasped, and was so shocked that even the twist in her mouth fell to the ground.

Why did Zhao Qiaoying and Zhao Long appear here?

Are they here to find themselves?
Seeing that her expression was not right, Xiao Fang took her arm and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Now Xiao Fang felt her whole body tense.

Xiao Fang couldn't help but think a little too much.

Is it possible that the lo mei here is really fragrant?It was so delicious that Xiao Hong was shocked before he tasted it?

Xiao Fang said very considerately: "How about we go back first?"

"No need," Xiao Hong came back to her senses, thought for a while, walked to a hidden place, pulled down her hat a little, and pulled up the scarf to cover her nose before taking it out of her bag Give her 20 yuan: "Every one of their stewed vegetables weighs a catty."

Xiao Fang instantly understood that she wanted to taste the braised meat: "Okay, then wait for me here."

Since the family opened the store, her parents gave her ten pocket money every week.

You know, she used to only have two pocket money every week.

Moreover, when Xiao Hong buys pens or notebooks, she buys double copies. She is close to home, and her food and lodging are all at home, so she doesn't even have a chance to spend money.

So much so that she didn't have the habit of putting money in her pocket.

But when she went to get the money in Xiao Hong's hand, she found that she was holding on to it.

Xiao Hong hesitated to speak: "Wait a minute, by the way, ask about those people inside."

"Okay, you wait." Xiao Fang took the money and put it in her pocket, thinking that she wanted to know who made the lo mei.

Xiao Fang is also very glad that it is winter now, and she bought a hat and scarf to wear, but now only her eyes are exposed.

After all, their family also sells food, and there are many people who know themselves. Now that they are covered up like this, relatives and friends who are not particularly close can't recognize who they are.

She walked to the stewed meat stand and saw that there were customers buying braised chicken, so she first looked at the people in the room.

This shop has a large space inside, with several large gas stoves on one side and large steel pots on top.

Next to it was a painted Eight Immortals table, which was full of things, and all kinds of bottles and jars were piled under the table.

On the other side is a small square table with a few plates on which there are melon seeds and peanut candies.

The two old people sat there drinking tea and listening to the two young people talking, looking very warm.

After the proprietress sent the guests away, she asked Xiao Fang: "Do you want to buy some? Our lo mei is delicious and cheap, very affordable."

Xiao Fang looked at the six pots of lo-mei on the chopping board and asked, "What are the prices?"

The proprietress's quotation is very skillful: "One piece of stewed large intestine is one catty, one piece of braised pig's head meat and trotters is one five catty, two pieces of roast chicken are two yuan per catty, three pieces of stewed duck are one catty, and the stewed beef is more expensive. One pound and three pounds."

Although the young girl in front of her was not well dressed, her scarf and hat were all new. The most important thing was the money she held in her hand, showing a little unity.

The proprietress thought in her heart that she was not the kind of customer who came to ask and forget it, and she should be willing to buy a catty of meat.

Xiao Fang said, "Cut half a chicken for me. If it tastes good, I'll buy some of each."

When the proprietress heard that this was a big customer, she put on a smile on her face: "Okay, I'll weigh half a chicken for you."

When she was cutting the chicken, Xiao Fang asked critically: "Did the lady boss marinate the large intestine by yourself? Did you make it clean? Is the taste okay?"

This is a question that was often asked by customers when they first started selling brine, and now she applies what she has learned to her.

The proprietress also immediately showed off: "Sister, look inside is the chef we specially invited. When he was young, he was a chef in a state-owned restaurant. His skills are good. He will definitely make you want to eat it."

Although Xiao Fang only showed a pair of eyes, but her picky eyes are very outstanding, and Zhao Long, who accidentally looked over, fell in love with her immediately.

He hurriedly got up and came over to look at her up close. Seeing her fair skin without any freckles, he liked it even more. He wished he could tear off her scarf and take a closer look.

He swallowed, brushed his three-quarters hair with his hands, and began to boast: "My grandfather is a chef. He opened this restaurant specially to teach me how to cook. Are you from the town? ?”

When the proprietress heard this, she felt a little dissatisfied.

The current business has been agreed to be a partnership between the two, but from Zhao Long's words, it looks like he opened the store, but he seems to be working for him.

But she didn't dare to turn her back, mainly because they found these goods and they paid in advance.

She can only persuade herself that when she learns the skills, they will leave, so bear with it.

"Yes, I'm from the town." Xiao Fang hated the way he looked at her. In order to know his details, she asked casually, "Are you from the town too? Why haven't I seen you?"

"I'm not from the town." Zhao Long stared at her without blinking, with a bit of complacency in his tone: "My name is Zhao Long, Zhao Qiansunli's Zhao, and the dragon flying in the sky.

I'm from Changshan Town, and my family has contracted a supply and marketing cooperative, so I don't want to stay in one place all the time, so I just come out and venture out. "

He knew that if his appearance could not attract a woman's attention, it could only make her think that he was rich and his family was rich.

Anyway, she couldn't possibly know that the supply and marketing cooperative belonged to his brother-in-law's family.

He came here because he was caught by the police a few months ago having an illegal transaction with a woman on some special occasions. He was imprisoned for half a month and fined, which is really embarrassing.

It happened that the eldest brother-in-law's sister wanted to open a lo-mei shop, so his grandparents brought him here to relax.

At the beginning, even Zhao Long's grandparents didn't expect that the braised meat shop could earn so much money, so they agreed that they would spend money to marry him to a good-looking wife next year, so that he would not go out fooling around.
