Chapter 63 Help
When the noodles are cooked to 90%, they are taken out and rinsed with cold water. They are served with shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, blanched green bean sprouts, fried peanuts, chili oil, and salt...

It is chewy and refreshing, very delicious, and more filling than cold noodles.

Cold noodles have become another very popular item at Xia Ji’s food stall.

Xia Mingyue adjusts the product proportions in a timely manner according to the market and controls the quantity of each type of food to be prepared every day.

Jiang Erniu's stall was also adjusted accordingly to increase the amount of cold noodles purchased.

After some time of hard work on North Street, Jiang Erniu's stall business is booming and is poised to catch up with Xia Mingyue's stall.

Jiang Erniu and Feng Shi's faces almost never stopped smiling.

When getting up this morning to buy goods, Feng handed a small cloth bag to Xia Mingyue, "Madam Xia is usually busy and probably doesn't have time to do needlework, so I took the time to make two pairs of shoes for you. Madam Xia, please take a look and see if they fit your feet."

"Thank you, Sister Feng." Xia Mingyue did not refuse and smiled, "I was worried about not having a pair of shoes to change these days, and Sister Feng happened to send them to me."

As he spoke, he went into the house and tried it on. "It's not too big, not too small, just right."

"I think it should be this big, so I'll try to make it to see if it fits. If it does, I'll make you a few more pairs when I have time in the future." Feng narrowed her eyes and smiled.

At that time, the soles of shoes were mostly made of Thousand-Layer Sole, which was the most difficult to make.

The so-called thousand-layer soles are made by pasting unused old cloth on a wooden board layer by layer. After they are completely dry, they are carved into soles of suitable sizes. Many pieces of soles are then stacked together and sewn together stitch by stitch with hemp rope.

The thousand-layer sole has many layers of cloth, and because the cloth is piled up layer by layer, each layer is higher than the previous one, which is a good omen for promotion step by step. Moreover, the sole becomes softer and more comfortable to wear, so it is loved by everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people.

Even in modern society, there are still many people who give up the fashionable modern products and love this old-fashioned handmade cloth shoes. Even Xia Mingyue herself, in order to avoid tiring her feet when busy in the kitchen, specially prepared a lot of the well-known Nei Liansheng thousand-layer cloth shoes.

After making the sole, the upper has to be made. Whether the size of the foot and the height of the instep are suitable depends entirely on the experience of the shoe maker.

Precisely because shoes are time-consuming and laborious to make, ordinary people generally do not use shoes as a means of communication unless they are close friends.

But Feng specially selected the shoes, which shows that he was not just being polite, but sincerely felt that Xia Mingyue was too busy to make time-consuming and laborious shoes, so he did so.

Xia Mingyue felt warm in her heart. "These two pairs of shoes are enough to wear for a long time. Sister Feng still has to do business with Brother Jiang and take care of the family. She doesn't have to worry about me all the time."

"Don't be polite to me, your sister-in-law, when it comes to holding your hand tightly." Feng did not give Xia Mingyue a chance to refute and took over the matter completely.

After more than half a month, the money earned from running the food stall has caught up with the money Jiang Erniu earned from selling sesame cakes in the previous year.

Seeing the money coming in like a flood and her life getting better day by day, Feng was very happy and full of gratitude towards Xia Mingyue.

Although her family can make money, Xia Mingyue can also make money here. Xia Mingyue is willing to franchise this for her own profit. It is just a normal business behavior.

But then again, in everything, there is a question of whether one does one's best with all one's heart, and whether one tries one's best with all one's heart.

If someone doesn't try his best, you can't find any fault with him. But compared to someone who tries his best with all his heart, it is naturally different.

During this period, Feng saw and took to heart the dedicated guidance that Xia Mingyue gave to the couple.

As human beings, we must be grateful and not take things for granted. Only in this way can friendship last long.

Seeing that Feng was so insistent, Xia Mingyue did not say much and just prepared everything for today.

After finishing the preparations, Xia Mingyue, Lu, Jiang Zhuguo and Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu went to the street to set up their stalls as usual.

Business is going on as usual and several people are very busy.

"Mrs. Xia." Someone called out. Xia Mingyue felt familiar with the name and looked up to see a kind and elderly face.

"Auntie Han?" Xia Mingyue was very happy, and then went to check Han's feet, "Why did Auntie Han come out? Is her foot okay?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine now." Han replied with a smile, "He was able to walk a few days ago, but I was worried yesterday, so I went to the clinic to check it out. The doctor said that he has recovered well and is fine now."

"Didn't I say before that I would come to support Madam Xia's food stall after my foot healed? Today is a good day, and the sun is not too strong, so I came here specially to taste Madam Xia's cooking skills."

"Okay." Xia Mingyue smiled, "What would you like to eat, Auntie?"

"It doesn't matter what you do. I'm not picky."

To be honest, Han saw that there was a wide variety of food on the food stall, and everything looked delicious. Everyone was eating with gusto. He thought that everything should be delicious, and for a moment he didn't know what to eat.

"Then Auntie, please give me some cold noodles to try first." Xia Mingyue suggested.

"to make."

"Can you eat spicy food, Auntie?"

"Put more of that chili oil, it smells weird."

"Got it!"

Take the cold skin, cut it into wide strips, add seasoning and stir.

The action was done in one go. Almost in a moment, Xia Mingyue placed a bowl of cold noodles in front of Han and handed her a scallion meat pie.

"Auntie, try it first. If it doesn't taste good enough, tell me." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"Okay." Han took it, picked up the chopsticks and started to put it into his mouth.

The meat pie has a crispy skin, the filling inside is fragrant, the cold noodle is smooth and chewy, the chili oil is spicy and appetizing, and even the gluten inside is chewy and tender...

It’s delicious!
No wonder this seemingly inconspicuous food stall is so lively, it turns out it’s all because of Madam Xia’s good cooking skills.

This kind-hearted person even cooks delicious food.

Han couldn't help but squint her eyes and continued to enjoy the delicious food in her hands and in the bowl.

In a small alley in Dongcheng District, the Sifang gambling house is bustling with activity, and the noise seems to be about to blow the roof of the house off.

Wu Xiong was guarding the door with a few people, and patrolling back and forth in the gambling house from time to time to prevent petty theft, as well as attempts to deny debts after losing money, or even cheating.

Sun Gousheng and Tian Dazhuang came over and said, "Boss, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Wu Xiong turned his head and saw the two people smiling in a very flattering manner. He frowned and said, "Is it something good?"

"How can I do that?" Sun Gousheng became even more servile, pinching Wu Xiong's shoulder attentively, "I mainly want to ask the boss for a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Actually, it can't be said that she can help us. The main reason is that the young lady is too abominable. Not only did she scold us, she also ignored the boss. We are really angry..."
