Chapter 326 Rice tofu?
In the afternoon, the sun shines on people, warm.
The streets are crowded and bustling.
Li Luotang took Sai Xishi and lingered in front of various stalls. When he met a fun one, he would stay for a while.
"Shi Shi, do you think these two beaded flowers are beautiful?" Li Luotang picked up the two beaded flowers made of small pearls the size of rice grains and handed them to Sai Xi Shi.
"So beautiful." Sai Xishi took over.
"Do you like it?" Li Luotang asked.
Sai Xishi hurriedly put the beads back on the stall, "I don't want it."
Li Luotang could see that she liked it, and smiled and asked the stall owner, "How much does these two beads cost?"
"A hang of money." The stall owner replied.
"It's so expensive!" Sai Xishi pulled Li Luotang's arm, "Sister Li, don't buy it. I stay in the kitchen every day and I don't have the chance to wear it."
"Give me, you must combine work and rest when learning art. You are still a little girl, don't make yourself unkempt." Li Luotang said.
"I don't have unkempt faces. I have bathing and changing clothes every day." Sai Xishi also stretched out her white and tender little fat hands, indicating that she had washed it clean.
"The dishes are all about color, fragrance and taste. The chef should dress himself up beautifully. This way, the dishes will have a good mood. The dishes made will taste better. Do you understand? Xiao Shishi."
"I understand." Sai Xishi nodded obediently.
Li Luotang and the stall owner bargained and bought the two beaded flowers.
Then, Li Luotang wrapped the two beaded flowers directly on the head of Sai Xishi's bag, "It's so beautiful."
"Thank you Sister Li." Sai Xishi narrowed his eyes.
After turning a corner, seeing a group of people in front of him surrounded him, Li Luotang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, there is fun to watch."
The two little girls held hands and trotted over, and it sounded like someone was arguing.
There were too many people and couldn't squeeze in at once. Sai Xishi asked the woman next to her, "Auntie, what's going on?"
"A father and daughter from other places set up a rice tofu stall here. Although they have only been on sale for a few days, the rice tofu they made is delicate and has no residue and sufficient amount. The business is pretty good. A rich lady came just now and asked for a bowl of rice tofu, but somehow, she poured the bowl of rice tofu on the father, which made him jump. The rich lady was still not obedient and yelled to smash someone's stall. Several of the bowls were smashed and cursed. The girl who sold rice tofu was so angry that she started arguing with her."
"If you don't fight the rich, you're going to suffer a loss for this father and daughter." An old man next to him interrupted.
"Why is this?" Sai Xishi pulled away the crowd and squeezed in. She heard a sound inside and was very familiar.
When I squeezed in, I saw a gorgeously dressed woman about to lift the table, while the girl in coarse cloth clothes pressed the table hard to prevent her from lifting it.
Sai Xishi squeezed in and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Uncle Cai, Cai Hua, why did you come to Yuezhou?"
"Shi Shi!" Cai Hua didn't expect to meet an acquaintance and was also surprised.
"Li, brother, Uncle Cai and Cai Hua are very nice to me. Can you help them?" Sai Xishi pulled Li Luotang's sleeve and said.
"Don't worry, I won't watch them be bullied." Li Luotang said.
"Who bullies them? It was obvious that they bullied me first. This old guy deliberately put his dirty fingers into the bowl." The rich lady jumped in anger.
"The vendors on the roadside are dirty. My lady smashes the stalls to eliminate harm for the people." The man dressed in a maid said righteously.
"Don't talk nonsense here. My rice tofu is made very clean. You stood up suddenly. My father was afraid that you would knock over the bowl and get burned by the soup, so his fingers accidentally reached into the bowl. We have apologized to you and promised to change the bowls for your little ones, but your lady refused to give up and poured a bowl of rice tofu on my father with the soup, and yelled to smash our stall. You are too much!" Cai Hua said angrily.
Some of the people who came to see the fun were small vendors doing business nearby, and some were neighbors living nearby.
They knew it was difficult to make a living, and most of them sympathized with the weak, and the rich lady was aggressive and unpleasant, so they all blamed the rich lady.
The rich lady was spoiled and had never suffered such grievances. She immediately said angrily: "Shut up, shut up, shut up."
The more she shouted, the more people onlookers criticized her better.
The rich lady was so angry that she said unscrupulously: "What can I do if I just smash their stall? At worst, I'll pay them some money."
"Okay, then you pay the money." Li Luotang said.
The rich lady was stunned and turned her eyes to look at Li Luotang. Her face suddenly turned red, "Peach red, give me silver."
"Miss?" The maid didn't react yet.
"Give the money quickly." The rich lady stamped her feet coquettishly.
The maid obediently took out a piece of fragments and placed them on the table, "It's a bargain."
The rich lady looked at Li Luotang, pursed her lips and smiled, "Taohong, let's go."
The onlookers automatically gave up a way to let the master and servant leave.
Sai Xishi helped the Cai family's father and daughter pack up their things together, and Uncle Cai took two empty buckets to fetch water from the well next to him.
Cai Hua pulled Sai Xi Shi to sit down and reminisce about the past, "Shi Shi, how could you be in Yuezhou?"
"I'm learning cooking skills from my master here. By the way, why don't you fish in your hometown and come to Yuezhou to set up a stall to sell rice and tofu?"
Cai Hua said with a bitter face: "My mother is sick. She has found several doctors to treat her, but she hasn't seen her. I heard that there is an old miracle doctor in Yuezhou who is reborn from Bian Que. She can cure this disease, so we came to Yuezhou."
But the Cai family is just an ordinary fisherman family with poor family. After coming to Yuezhou, there was not much money left.
Although the old miracle doctor was kind-hearted and was exempted from medical treatment, the money for medicine was a considerable expense.
There is also a family of three who also costs money for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
You can't sit and eat for three hours, so you can set up a stall to sell rice and tofu.
Although the business is good, the gangsters will come to cause trouble, and the government will also collect taxes, so the money they earn is just enough to make enough food and clothing.
"Cai Hua, ask Uncle Cai if you want to work in a restaurant?" Sai Xishi asked.
"Shi Shi, do you know the manager of the restaurant?" Cai Hua asked in surprise.
"I'm not telling you, I'm learning to cook. The restaurant is run by my master. If Uncle Cai is willing, I'll tell my master to see if I can arrange it in." Sai Xishi accepted Li Luotang's sentiment and said to life.
"My father is definitely willing." Cai Hua grabbed Sai Xishi's hand, "Shi Shi, thank you."
"Where do you live now?" Saisi Shi asked.
Cai Hua said the address, Sai Xishi recorded it, got up and wanted to leave, Uncle Cai came back to carry water.
"Shi Shi, you and this young master stay and eat a bowl of rice and tofu before leaving." Cai Hua said.
Sai Xishi looked at Li Luotang, and Li Luotang smiled, "Then let's have a small bowl."
"Okay, cook it now." Cai Hua happily went to cook rice tofu.
