Chapter 7 Fried Vegetables

Author: Koi Yuanbao

"Girl, you are young, beautiful and well-off, what are you doing here? Go to my place, I will make you a little shopkeeper. I will have many servants at my disposal!"

The proprietress of Xiangu Cake Shop came over, and Lu Xiling did not refuse. He just listened to her whispering softly: "My shop is more spacious than this one, and the pastries are more luxurious than here. The gentleman who goes to my place is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a scholar.

When the girl goes to my place, she will have all her dignity and dignity from now on!"

Why does the little girl come out to show her face? It's either for money or for men.

Douya's ears were very sensitive. Before she finished speaking, she raised her head and met a pair of cunning eyes.

The little girl in front of the stall smiled and said, "Two thousand dollars is really a lot of money."

Sourness grew, and Dou Ya buried his head.

She never dared to dream that she could earn two thousand yuan by working for others. How could this down-and-out rich lady be so lucky and meet all the noble people!

She must be eager to run away now, beautiful women are just unreliable!

But no matter she left, Hu Erniang was becoming more and more dissatisfied with her. With this money tree around, she was probably thinking about how to sell her.

The money tree is gone. Although we can no longer eat delicious food, we don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Slowly, the little girl's eyes became brighter again.

"How long can you give me just two thousand dollars?"

A proud smile froze on her face, and the landlady suddenly came back to her senses. She heard the girl opposite counting with her fingers: "Master Song, Li Dalang, and Mr. Pu She. I remember that these are all regular customers of your store.

Well, they have been coming to the store every day recently."

"Does the landlady fancy me as a person or my craftsmanship?" Lu Xiling directly pointed out: "From what the landlady said, she should be interested in me. That's a pity. Fire cooking is the hardest to control.

If I accidentally catch a fire, the landlady will not suffer any loss, but I am afraid that I will be deprived of both human and financial resources."

The flower on her forehead wrinkled into a ball, and the landlady couldn't believe what she heard.

Hearing that Lu Xiling was deliberately taunting her, the proprietress of Xiangu Cake Shop smiled to save her last dignity.

"Youth and beauty are fleeting. If a girl doesn't take advantage of her prime years to find a good home for herself, she will be buried in the fumes all day long. I'm afraid she will inevitably suffer in the future."

"I've found it." Lu Xiling was not angry but smiled: "When I make enough money, I will open a shop and buy a house. We women just have to be kind to ourselves. The money is in our own hands. How will we look like when the time comes?

If you can’t buy it, why bother washing a man’s hands and making soup? Doesn’t the landlady say that’s the truth?”

Why don't you show your face? The little girl is not very old and has a lot of tricks.

The proprietress of Xiangu Cake Shop sneered slightly, her face turned black and blue, and she almost lost her dignity.

"Girls are small and ambitious, and I can't compare with ordinary people like me. However, I would like to advise you, if you want to make money and support your reputation here with Hu Pixiu, just wait until the next life!"

With a distant snort, the woman threw away her shawl and turned away.

Douya looked at Lu Xiling who had won the first battle and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lu Xiling hummed and pinched the little girl's cheek, picked up the steamer and walked back happily: "Let's go! Go back to the house and sister will prepare something delicious for you!"

Because the two cakes were selling well, Hu Erniang was not so strict about food and clothing expenses.

The food Lu Xiling had planned on last night was fried food.

Bean sprouts served as firewood girl as usual, but this time she not only waited to eat, but also learned to observe.

She had discovered the barbed wire covered under the tarpaulin early in the morning, but she got up in a hurry and her stomach was empty, so she was not in the mood to open the curtain to find out.

Now Lu Xiling revealed the secret in front of her, it was actually seasonal vegetables skewered on bamboo skewers.

Oyster mushrooms, cabbage, shepherd's purse, tofu skin...the tofu skin is different from the usual ones, it is rolled up, and there is a handful of coriander in each roll.

Oil is expensive in ordinary people's homes. Lu Xiling used two kilograms of oil and was too embarrassed to mix it with meat and eat it.

Afraid that the child would be displeased, Lu Xiling took a chance to take a peek. Unexpectedly, Dou Ya's round eyes looked as if they were pierced into her secret sauce, and her timid little finger just touched the red oil surface.

With a "swish", he shrank back, smacked it in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes into a slit.

Lu Xiling smiled and ignored her, and lifted out the iron plate on the other side. Although Hu Erniang was not good at cooking, she still loved to eat, and the kitchen utensils at home were all available.

Lu Xiling dug it out and propped it on the charcoal fire in the yard.

The back kitchen is small, and the fried food is full of smoke and dust, which cannot be dissipated for a while. The backyard is much more open and convenient for use.

Oil was burning on the charcoal fire on one side, and Xianxian ran her fingers back and forth on the oil pan to test the oil temperature. On the other side, the iron plate sizzled, and Lu Xiling scooped a small spoonful of batter and poured it on it.

Flip it over and the batter will turn into clear pancakes after a while.

This pancake was spread out on the plate, and the fried food on the other side was dropped from the pot one after another, and oil splashes immediately appeared in the pot.

The action before my eyes is overwhelming, and I feel amazed every time I look at the bean sprouts.

Just when she thought this should be eaten the same way as the mutton soup meatloaf outside, Lu Xiling once again surprised her.

The fried food is picked on the pancake with bamboo chopsticks, smeared with sauce, stacked with a fresh lettuce leaf, and wrapped into a wrap.

The little girl was already intoxicated by the sauce just now. This time, fragrant fried food was added, and the bean sprouts immediately moved her index fingers without saying a word.

The cook was delighted when he saw it.

In fact, apart from being a little narrow-minded, this little girl is very good. The key is that she is not picky about food, and she can still eat with her!

"The food the girl makes is really clean and delicious."

This is strange, is this a compliment to her?

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the first time Douya took the initiative to talk to himself.

Lu Xiling smiled slightly: "If you like to eat it, when we get rich, I will make it for you every day."

"We?" Douya looked at Lu Xiling in wonderment with his mouth full of sauce, and after a while he lowered his head in the other's enthusiastic eyes.

"Girl, please stop making fun of me. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn two thousand dollars even if I work hard all my life."

It turns out that she heard everything. It's strange that Zhichangzi's temper can be buried in her heart for so long after hearing the harsh words?

Adolescent girls are really sensitive and cute.

"Why can't you make money? Isn't it because of me? When we become stronger and bigger, when everyone talks about pastry shops in the capital, they only know beautiful women but not fairy aunts."

The bean sprouts made a "puff" sound and showed a cheesy smile.

Wiping away the grease on his mouth, Douya hesitated and said: "I just saw that you made Sun Xiangu's face turn green. I quite admire you."

Lu Xiling was startled.

It turns out that the little girl was so handsome because of her strong character that she would not give up for five buckets of rice?

But she's not so noble that she won't be moved by gold and silver. She simply resists making excuses for men, even though she can become a rich man by relying on her strength.

Lu Xiling smiled and said, "Just wait, within a year, our family will surpass hers!"

No one would believe such a bold statement, but Dou Ya believed it. Let alone pastries, she would believe it even if Lu Xiling said she could open the most prosperous restaurant!

The bean sprouts kept coming and going, saying whatever came to mind: "But you have such ability, it would be a pity not to go to Xiangu's. You don't know that Hu Erniang originally ran a fruit shop in partnership with Sun Xiangu, and it was very popular in the capital."

Douya's voice became quieter as he spoke, and finally gave Lu Xiling a look that said, "You know, I know."

Even though there is no one in the yard, gossiping will change its flavor if it is told loudly.

Besides, the little girl is willing to accept her, so she seems to be pretending to be aloof if she doesn't pick up the fight.

He simply came over.

Lu Xiling asked: "Then why did Hu Erniang come out to work alone?"

Douya growled and said slowly like an old man who has seen through the world of mortals: "Why else? Because of men——"

Lu Xiling took a breath.

Could it be that they are obsessed with protecting against fire, theft, and besties?

Is her boss lady still a love brain?

Here Lu Xiling happily chatted with Douya about other people's gossip, but little did he know that someone on the other side of the city was angrily chatting about her gossip.
