Seeing this, Xu Chong shouted to the customers who were still waiting, "No need to queue, the starch sausage is sold out today!"

Sold out?
The young man standing at the front was stunned.

He had been waiting in line for quite a while, with his neck stretched out, and it was almost his turn to buy, but now he was suddenly told that it was sold out?
The boy was frustrated and angry, but he still stretched his neck to look. When he saw that there were still several sausages in the basket, he said hurriedly, "How can they be sold out? Aren't there still some here?"

"I'm going to keep the remaining few for myself." Xu Chong said this without even raising his head.

He has worked hard setting up the stall for such a long time today, he needs to reward himself well!
Of course, you should eat this delicious starch sausage yourself!
Little brother, "..."

"Will you come to set up the stall tomorrow?"

"not sure."

"What time will you come tomorrow?"

"not sure."

"That……"

"not sure!"

"!!!"

It turns out that what others said was right, these two guys are not here to do business properly!

Talking is really infuriating.

What’s even more infuriating is that I didn’t get to eat this starch sausage!

Seeing that Xu Chong and Cen Ying had already started to pack up their things and were determined not to sell the remaining sausages, the crowd could only disperse one after another, hoping that the two men could set up their stall earlier tomorrow.

You can prepare more starch sausage when setting up the stall!

But these are just expectations. These two people obviously don’t want to set up the stall properly. I’m afraid everything has to be done according to their mood.

I can only keep an eye on it more tomorrow...

Cen Ying and Xu Chong were unaware of what everyone was thinking. They just kept saying that they were extremely tired today and that there were not many starch sausages left, not enough for them to eat.

Xia Mingyue, who was not far away, saw this and held her forehead helplessly.

She could have guessed that the starch sausage business was booming today, but she really didn't expect that the starch sausage business would be so booming.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to say that the two people were suitable for doing business or not.

But Cen Ying said at the time that joining Xia Ji to do a small business was just to conceal her identity. So it doesn't matter whether she does the business or not, right?
But no matter how important this business is to them, Xia Mingyue feels that since they are franchisees of Xia Ji, Xia Ji must take responsibility for this business.

Therefore, when Cen Ying and Xu Chong came back from closing their stall, Xia Mingyue took the initiative to ask whether they should increase the amount of starch sausages used in the stall the next day so that the central kitchen could prepare them in advance.

"Okay, okay." Xu Chong nodded hurriedly. "Business is good today. Many people didn't buy anything. I guess they will come again tomorrow. If we prepare more, we will definitely make more money."

Cen Ying's mouth twitched.

It’s not that she disagreed with adding more starch sausages, but Xu Chong had been muttering all the way back.

What? I'm so tired today that I feel like my whole body is falling apart, and I won't set up a stall tomorrow no matter what.

Something like selling less starch sausages tomorrow and keeping more for yourself.

What master doesn't lack money? Just set up this stall casually, no need to be too diligent...

At this moment, it seemed as if he was not the decadent person just now, and he was the motivated and hardworking person now.

The way he changes his face at any time is really...

Deserve a beating!

Because she was holding back her anger, after returning with Xu Chong, Cen Ying closed the courtyard door and threw a long stick to Xu Chong. Cen Ying picked up another one.

"In a competition, life and death are determined by fate. I can give you three moves." Cen Ying put her hands behind her back, "Please."

Xu Chong, "..."

If you want to hit him, just say so!

Why do you need so many reasons?

Xu Chong angrily threw the stick aside, "There is one more rule in the ring competition, you can give up!"

He won't be fooled.

"The rules of your place are that if you give up, you will be punished with thirty military sticks. I'll give you a discount, twenty-five military sticks, how about that?"

Xu Chong, "..."

Can't we just admit that he was wrong?
-
The starch sausage business continued as usual, and after a few days, Cen Ying and Xu Chong had become very familiar with the business of selling starch sausage, and gradually felt they were getting used to it.

Soliciting customers, shouting loudly, and seeing them off enthusiastically...

His words and actions are not much different from those of ordinary merchants.

Xia Mingyue felt relieved and finally felt completely at ease about accepting the five hundred taels.

A letter was delivered to the house.

It was written by Lu Qiyan, who reported his safety to Xia Mingyue and mentioned that the previous matter of suppressing bandits had been settled. As a result, he was favored by the commander of the wing and got the opportunity to make military achievements. He would be busy in the army for some time and didn't know when he would be able to return home.

The letter also mentioned that the instant noodles made by Xia Mingyue tasted very good and he liked them very much. The apricots in the nearby mountains were almost ripe. When they were ripe, he would see if he could have someone send some back...

It was a four-page letter home, full of chatter and chatter, all about daily trivialities.

Xia Mingyue looked at the letter with a frown on her face.

She was naturally happy to receive the letter from Lu Qiyan, but when she was reading the letter, what came to her mind was not Lu Qiyan's face, but the overall image of an old lady sitting cross-legged on the kang, chatting and eating melon seeds.

My own husband can also be so talkative sometimes.

Just... weirdly cute?

Xia Mingyue smiled, read the letter again, then folded it neatly, put it back among the letters, and placed it under the pillow.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Xia Mingyue took out the letter from under her pillow, opened it, read it carefully twice, chuckled for a while, then folded the letter and put it back under her pillow.

When I woke up the next morning, I took out the letter...

In May, the heat wave is rolling and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching soon.

Buyunlou has made great preparations for this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

First, for every guest who ate at Buyunlou, a plate of rice dumplings was served on each table. And for those distinguished guests who often visited Buyunlou and spent a lot of money, someone would be sent to deliver a gift box of rice dumplings to their door.

The former has four rice dumplings in total, namely candied date rice dumpling, red bean paste rice dumpling, salted egg yolk rice dumpling and rhubarb rice dumpling.

Four kinds of rice dumplings are put together, sweet and salty, of different types, but each one tastes soft, glutinous and delicious, with wonderful flavor.

The gift boxes of rice dumplings given away are even more abundant.

Egg yolk and meat dumplings, mixed bean and candied date dumplings, red bean paste alkaline dumplings, blood glutinous rice and pork belly dumplings, millet mixed bean and candied date dumplings, dried bamboo shoots and duck leg dumplings...

There are twelve kinds in total, each one tastes different and the cooking methods are not common, but they are very delicious. They can be said to be novel, exquisite, beautiful and delicious.

Xia Mingyue and Ge Zhanggui also specially customized the gift boxes used to hold the zongzi. (End of this chapter)
