Chapter 19： take into account

Chapter 19 Consideration

As soon as I put the cup of spicy soup in my hand, I took a sip and went into my throat. Wow, this taste... is really spicy, fragrant, smooth and... all of a sudden, I took a sip from left to right, and in a moment, the cup had bottomed out. .

The taste was so delicious that the young man was so satisfied that he shouted: "Give me another drink."

Hu spicy soup is a traditional soup that is common in northern China for breakfast. It is made with pepper, chili pepper, beef cubes, bone broth, gravy, fungus, etc.

There are no chili peppers in Dayin Dynasty, but there are peppercorns, dogwood, pepper, ginger, etc., which are all native to China. Of course, there is no beef in Su Ruojin’s spicy soup. She uses lean pork, which is an improved version. Hu spicy soup.

But even if it is an improved version, the egg liquid in the thickened soup is as beautiful and appetizing as whitebait. Drinking a glass of it in the winter can literally warm the soles of your legs. On a winter day when men use white wine to keep warm, come A bowl of spicy soup is simply a worldly pleasure.

The young man is like a living sign. He asked for three drinks in a row before he could satisfy his appetite, which attracted the people behind him to follow suit, "Give me a bowl..."

"I also want…"

…

The simple breakfast stall was soon surrounded by crowds.

Su Yanli, who had been standing in the corner silently looking at the stall, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and looked up at the sky. It was time for him to go to the Imperial College for duty.

Meeting into the crowd, Su Yanli walked forward while calmly looking at the new fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings stalls at the entrance of the alley, his eyes as cold as the weather.

Yesterday afternoon, a pair of children came to the Imperial College. It was such a winter day that their faces were covered with sweat. One can imagine how much hardship they endured before they came to the Imperial College.

At that moment, his heart ached so hard that he thought something had happened to his wife or his little son, who was less than two months old. He never thought that someone was causing trouble at the door of his house, which even affected his work of writing books and setting up a stall. .

Su Yanli has endured a lot of hardships since he was a child, and he also knows that the world is dangerous and dangerous. He knows how to avoid the dangers of cold and warm, but he is not good at dealing with these dangers.

His daughter told him what happened, and he thought he wanted to ask someone to get the confiscated household items back.

The daughter shook her head: "It takes time to take care of someone, and it also requires returning favors. Compared with the lost family work, it is not cost-effective."

Su Yanli really didn't expect that her daughter would come so far to buy another set of household chores: "Are you worried that your father won't be able to support you?"

The daughter shook her head again, looking like she didn't know how to answer: "The mule and cart can wait, but the iron boiler and boiler cannot wait. Dad, you go shopping with me."

Su Yanli is a scholar who has been severely beaten by the society. He has suffered the pain of being a hero for a penny. His wife gave birth to her mother during confinement. If her daughter had not thought of selling breakfast food, the Su family's life would still be stretched to this day.

So he was not pedantic, nor did he think that his daughter was fooling around. He immediately asked for leave and took his children to the blacksmith shop to buy iron boilers and other items. Not only that, but his daughter unexpectedly ordered a frying pan at some point. It was such an ordinary thing. I lightly pan-fried today's new pot stickers and pan-fried vegetables.

The sun rises and the sunshine shines on the bustling streets.

In the capital, it is almost impossible for an unsociable eighth-rank official like him to ask someone to take out household chores from the Bingma Si Yamen immediately, and it will definitely be delayed for two or three days, or even longer.

Those scoundrels who are trying to steal business will seize this opportunity to boost business. When Su Ji gets his homework and then sets up a stall to squeeze in, the situation may not be the same as it is now.

Su Yanli really didn't expect that his daughter would know the choice at such a young age. Yesterday's money was well spent. He wanted to steal her daughter's business. He raised his chin slightly and looked forward, looking clear. He wanted to see if the Su family members agreed. That's right, after being plotted against, Su Ruojin didn't worry about when she could get her things back or what would happen if she couldn't get them back, because she found that the purpose of these people was to make her worry about it, as long as they delayed it for a few days without letting Su Ji. stall, they picked it up.

People come and go, as long as there is breakfast, who can remember what stall there used to be. As for losing seven or eight taels on buying things, as long as the stall is still there and is recognized by people, you can earn another seven or eight taels, or even seven or eighty taels. two.

Fortunately, his father didn't say anything yesterday and took her to buy everything for the house. Today's business included fried dough sticks with soy milk and steamed dumplings with steamed rice. Su remembered the new food.

Because there are so many varieties of breakfast dishes, business is booming than before!

She was busy until almost ten o'clock before closing the stall. Su Ruojin stood by the stall, looking coldly at the deep-fried dough sticks and xiaolongbaozi stalls in the distance, and at the pile of ingredients left on their chopping boards. This was why she was anxious to set up a stall today. The reason is that only at the same moment can customers compare whose food is more delicious.

These two families thought they could make something with a similar taste by buying Su Kee’s fried dough sticks and xiaolongbao and researching it?

If there wasn’t the current strong contrast, perhaps most people would think it’s pretty much the same.

But in this dynasty, the technology of fermentation of pasta has just emerged from the rich and noble families. Not to mention the little tricks of adding sugar to improve the freshness and adding salt to make the dough more chewy. That is not just buying a few fried dough sticks and a few You can eat a small steamed bun.

The two breakfast stall owners who were trying to grab the business glared at Su Ji angrily, with fire in their eyes. Didn't everything have been confiscated? Why did they come to set up a stall again and buy another set of iron pots and pots? The stove must be only seven or eight taels, but they are willing to throw it at the Bingma Si Yamen?

Ordinary small businessmen, if the guy who eats, the iron pot and the stove are confiscated by the government. The first reaction is to hurry up or ask people who ask the door to return things.

Su Ruojin was very happy to see their angry expressions, and asked Mother Dong with a smile, "Which family has anything to do with Mrs. Xu?"

“The store on the east side that sells fried dough sticks.” Dong’s mother said, “The one who fry fried dough sticks is Mrs. Xu’s kitchen stove.”

It’s not disguised at all, very good!

Su Ruojin looked at the shop selling Xiao Long Baozi. Mother Dong shook her head, "I haven't seen it before."

“I can guess quite a bit.”

Hearing this, Shu Shu hurriedly came over and asked, "Who?"

"It should be related to the patrol officer of the Military and Horse Division in charge of these alleys. It's either his wife or some relative of his family." Seeing the prosperity of the Su family's breakfast stall, he was jealous. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the escapee was forced to Osmanthus Alley, why did it happen at the door when Shutong was returning home?

These insidious and cunning villains.

Dong’s mother and Shutong asked worriedly, “Now that their business is not doing well, will they resort to more insidious means?”

Su Ruojin said calmly: "It shouldn't happen years ago."

Mother Dong asked: "Why are you so sure?"

She smiled slightly: "Because further north is Royal Street. There are many high-ranking officials passing by Xiqiao Lane in the morning to buy breakfast. New food has been launched twice, attracting many people to buy it. Someone must be asking about our Su Ji, too. I must know that my father is also a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy, and I will always take it into consideration if there are children in the family who are studying. "

Mother Dong was still worried: “What if someone doesn’t care?”
