"Spicy Spice, Spicy Spice!" Today was the exam, and the number of people in the town had increased to a few unfamiliar faces.
Of course, Bai He wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. When she walked out, the ingredients had already been prepared much more than usual.
Those scholars here had definitely never eaten such a thing, so they would definitely come to try it. Therefore, she loudly shouted, hoping that there would be more people who would come to try it.
Sure enough, her sales pitch was quite effective. A few curious scholars walked over and asked.
Bai He quickly replied: "These are called Ma La Hot Stones, which means they are very popular. Of course I wish you all the best in getting the title."
When the scholar heard Bai He's wishes, he was also happy.
Bai He quickly nodded her head and chose a few dishes. She then placed them inside and said: "The food I prepared for you was light, it might taste a little bit worse, but it's still very good for your test."
These exam candidates had to maintain a clear mind as they entered the exam grounds. If they ate too much chili, it wouldn't be good if they got angry. Thus, she chose to give something very light to the scholar.
When the scholar heard that Bai He had actually studied this, he was shocked and asked, "You actually know this much?"
Bai He laughed and said: "It's okay, there's a total of 25 gold. I'll consider it as 20 gold, I hope you'll make it to the top of the list."
The scholar took out some silver and handed it over to Bai He, flattering her that she was a good person.
Bai He could only smile, since these people could bring her more silver, of course they wouldn't do anything.
Therefore, she gave way slightly to gain some benefits, but instead gave herself a lot of connections.
Bai He had planned to rely on them to earn some more silver, so she naturally would not lack in these things.
Thinking of this, she looked at the people who surrounded them and said, "I didn't think that you guys would have so many good things. It's really rare."
Hearing his words, Bai He smiled and said: "The food that we are selling here is not bad, if you have the chance, come and try it all, I can give you a discount as a scholar."
The students heard her say that, and immediately nodded their heads. Originally, they should have disdained eating, but Bai He's food was really top-notch.
With these scholars, Bai He's items would be sold very quickly. Even though she had prepared quite a few, she still sold them all.
Of course, it was also thanks to the bamboo basket that she had prepared.
"One serving of vegetarian food for twenty pieces, and one serving of meat and vegetables for thirty pieces." Bai He's price was also very high, but his quantity was not bad, so there were still many people who bought it.
Bai He's silver had naturally risen rapidly as well. Furthermore, she had prepared some snacks and the like previously, so her harvest on that day was naturally not bad.
When he saw her and the other students helping him, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, when he thought about how happy Bai He looked when he saw the money that others were passing to him, he naturally didn't have the heart to say anything bad.
Bai He did not know what he was thinking, and actively asked the scholar by the side: "Would you like more vegetables? "Alright, then I'll give you five cents less."
The scholar looked at her gratefully.
The scholars by the side were affected by Bai He's easygoing attitude and all came forward to buy.
"Brother Bai, some people went to buy these dishes earlier. Are you sure we can buy some as well?" A scholar said as he looked at the person beside him.
The man looked at them from afar and said, "It's just some ordinary food, what's there to be concerned about?"
"Brother Bai, you can't say it like that. I heard that the lady boss of this shop isn't a bad person. The people who bought it all have an extremely good reputation." If Brother Bai is truly unwilling, then why don't you buy some with me? "Brother Bai, rest assured. Naturally, I will not allow you to take out any money." The scholar politely replied.
When that person heard him say this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Previously, in order to collect the fees for the exam, his mother had struggled for a long time. His silver coins were barely enough to buy ink and paper, plus the fees for registering for the exam.
However, seeing that the other scholars had all gone to buy it, he felt that he could not be lacking. However, he only had this amount of money, so how could he buy these things? He could only give up.
"You're too polite." The man thanked him.
"Brother Bai is the real deal. How about this, it's just a few ten pennies, so let me invite them." The scholar was rather straightforward.
"Thank you very much." The man said again.
The scholar smiled and said, "Brother Bai, we shouldn't be so polite. If we were a bit late, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any good stuff."
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked towards the stall.
"Two servings of both." The moment the scholar walked over, he shouted without any preparation.
Hearing that, Bai He actually wanted two, it was not bad, when she raised her head, the smile on her face froze.
Wasn't the person in front of her a familiar face?
Bai Jingxuan, her cultured uncle.
"Lady Boss, hurry up." Seeing that Bai He did not make any movements, the scholar started to urge him.
Bai He laughed and said: "Immediately, I was just a little surprised that you guys actually wanted two servings."
The scholar looked at her and said, "Of course, don't worry. If it's delicious, I will definitely come again."
Bai He nodded his head, she lowered his head and placed the dishes into the bamboo basket as though she did not see Bai Jingxuan at all.
Bai Jingxuan naturally saw her and surprise flashed across his face. But subconsciously, he also had the same feelings as Bai He, so he definitely could not let the people around them discover their relationship.
So he stood there indifferently.
"Brother Bai, these dishes are quite interesting. Normally, we have never eaten like this before, right?" The scholar watched from the side as the soup boiled, his eyes full of surprise.
"Lady Boss, when did you sell them here?" The scholar sighed, seeing that the person beside him had not moved, he directly looked at Bai He and asked.
Bai He thought for a while, then said the truth, "I also haven't been there for too long, it's about a month or so."
The scholar nodded his head and looked at Bai He's dishes and meat. He was still satisfied and said: "Your dishes are not bad. Have you ever thought about giving us some? "
Bai He was startled, and looked at him.
"Don't be surprised, I usually study in the academy, so I don't have the time to come out." The scholar sighed with emotion, "Everyone reads tens of thousands of scrolls. When I finish reading ten thousand scrolls, I will definitely have a good experience of this great river and mountain!"
Hearing his words, Bai He was surprised that he had such ambition, but he did not show it on the surface.
The scholar sighed and said, "Brother Bai should have the same thoughts as me."
Bai Jingxuan replied dryly from the side.
The scholar looked at the dishes in the bamboo basket and asked, "Lady Boss, how long do you need to cook this for? I can't wait. "
Bai He shook her head and said: "It won't be long, just wait a little longer."
"Bai Shi, help me bring the seasonings over." Looking at the dishes, Bai He picked them up with his chopsticks, and then shouted at Bai Shi who was at the side.
Bai Shi nodded his head, then handed over the chilies, and asked: "Do you guys need chilies?"
The scholar nodded. "I'm not afraid. Oh right, Brother Bai, I heard that the owner's surname is also Bai. Do you know him?"
"The world is big. There are a lot of people with the surname 'Bai'. We don't know each other." Bai Jingxuan quickly cut all relations.
The scholar passed it to Bai Jingxuan and said, "Brother Bai, after you."
Bai He did not care who ate first, as she only cared about her own matters.
Bai Shi took the silver, similarly ignoring everything else.
Bai Jingxuan took it, but as he looked at the dishes, he didn't even know if he should eat it or not.
Seeing this, the scholar urged, "Brother Bai, give it a try."
"On the streets, not elegant at all." Bai Jingxuan then found an excuse.
The scholar laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Bai to care about such things. Fine, if you don't want to eat, then I'll eat it myself." Just the smell of it is enough to make one's appetite! "
Holding it in his hand, the scholar began to taste it.
"Not bad, not bad." After he finished eating, he immediately praised.
Bai He smiled and said: "If you like it, you can come back in the future. Our stall will not change here. "
The scholar immediately nodded. "Of course, I feel that it's not bad. The things you have here are really good."
Bai He could only smile and glance at Bai Jingxuan beside him. Seeing his unsightly expression, she felt slightly refreshed in her heart. Normally, he would be spoiled by that granny of hers.
Presumably he didn't want to be discovered as his niece at the moment.
However, Bai He was not the type of person who would cause trouble, so since he did not want to meet them, that was for the best.
She was eager to break off relations with that family.
The scholar looked at Bai Jingxuan as he ate, "Brother Bai, there's no one else here, why do you mind about this? "Have a good taste, these dishes are really not bad."
After Bai Jingxuan heard his praise, he looked around, picked up a piece of vegetables and put it into his mouth. A strong smell came out, but he liked it a lot.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and finished his meal before the scholar did.
Seeing him like that, the scholar sighed, "Brother Bai, I have to say this about you. Why do you have to persevere? In my opinion, a scholar should not be polite either. "
Bai Jingxuan didn't care what he said, he only thanked him for spending the money before.
The scholar shook his head and said: "It's just a few ten pennies, don't mind them. Let's hurry up and go, we should be entering soon. "
Bai Jingxuan nodded and followed him in.
As for Bai He who was still selling the Ma La Braised Spice, she was still selling, but it should be the start of the exam, thus the following customers were a lot fewer.
"Bai He, is that your third uncle?" Bai Shi asked when she was free.
