Chapter 867 Why Tang Ji
"Hmph! You're talking nonsense! Why would Tang Tang give away the booth when he's fine? I think it must be because you still miss Lin Ke'er, so you dare not ask for it back, and you have to put the blame on Tang Tang. "Cheng Mengying gave Xiao Chen a sideways glance, and said sarcastic remarks on the side.
Xiao Chen shook his head, he didn't bother arguing with Cheng Mengying about this, but skillfully threw the fried dough sticks into the oil pan, and soon a golden-yellow, plump and well-proportioned fried dough stick was fried.
Seeing that he did not refute, Cheng Mengying was about to say a few more words, but when she saw that Xiao Chen had fried fried dough sticks with a simple stroke, she immediately forgot what happened before, and eagerly said: "Xiao Chen, let this lady try it. Try it! Go knead the dough!"
"I said Miss, you just need to help sell things, and leave the rough work of frying fried dough sticks to me!" Xiao Chen didn't give up his seat immediately, but simply refused. He wasn't worried about Cheng Mengying frying well, but he was afraid that if the delicate and expensive young lady was scalded by the splashing oil foam, it would be troublesome.
"Okay, Xiao Chen, do you underestimate me? Although this lady has never fried fried dough sticks, she may not be worse than you! Don't you think I'm naturally good at bargaining? Give me the chopsticks! Seeing that Xiao Chen rejected her, Cheng Mengying simply snatched the long chopsticks from his hand and exploded them in a decent manner.
"Okay, then be careful, don't get burned." Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and concentrated on kneading the dough to make fried dough sticks. He also understands the eldest lady's temper, as long as she wants to try Basically, I can't pull back the things, let her do it!
"Don't worry, I'm a monk now, even if I get scalded a few times, it won't cause any serious problems, and I'm still wearing gloves?" Cheng Mengying waved her hands and said confidently, and then said He began to concentrate on turning over the fried dough sticks and fried cakes in the pan.
After a while, after Xiao Chen made some reserve materials, he turned his head to see the situation on Cheng Mengying's side, but he was stunned immediately after just one glance!
I saw those deep-fried dough sticks fried by the eldest lady, some were thick at one end and thin at the other end, some were soft and looked uncooked at all, and many of them were burnt black directly by frying. People have no way to start their mouths, and they can't eat at all.
As for the fried cakes, it was even worse. Some were lumpy, some were irregular in shape, and some even leaked out the filling inside, just lying crookedly on the plate. The scene was simply horrible.
"I said, little girl, what kind of breakfast do you sell here?" An old man came to the stall with a vegetable basket, apparently passing by and wanting to have breakfast, but at this moment he looked at the stall with some confusion. Putting the food on the table, he rubbed his eyes, thinking that his presbyopia had happened again.
"Ah? Grandpa, are you kidding? I sell deep-fried dough sticks and fried cakes. How can you not recognize them? Look..." Cheng Mengying saw that a customer finally came, and was about to introduce her, so she Hearing what the old man said, he was immediately unhappy. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and pointed at the thing he had blown up, and then... also froze.
No wonder the old man would say that, I can't see what kind of suspicious objects those lumps are!
"Ahem, I have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen fried dough sticks and fried cakes like this!" The old man looked at it for a while, waved his hands, and said dumbfoundedly: "Forget it, I'm still Go eat something else, I don’t know what will happen if I eat this, I want to live for a few more years!"
"Grandpa, please wait!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Chen helped the old man to the edge of the table, quickly fried a few deep-fried dough sticks, brought another bowl of bean curd to the table, and said enthusiastically: "The shop just opened today, maybe my girlfriend is not very proficient in cooking skills, so the frying is not very good, please forgive me. In this way, you are our first customer, and I will treat you to eat these breakfasts , don't be disgusted!"
"Hmph! Who is your girlfriend?" Cheng Mengying was already irritated by the old man's ridicule, but when she heard Xiao Chen talking to herself and made her his girlfriend, she snorted unwillingly. He turned his face away.
"This...Okay!" The old man looked at Xiao Chen's deep-fried fried dough sticks, which looked decent, and then he relaxed, sat on the chair and ate, and said while eating: "Well! It's really you, young man. The craftsmanship is good! The deep-fried dough sticks are fried just right, and the taste is also very good! That little girl, you need to practice more! Otherwise, this small shop of yours will be shut down sooner or later by you!"
"You..." Cheng Mengying was so angry that she gave you free food, but she still talked so much, really!
After the old man finished eating and left satisfied, Xiao Chen cleaned up the table, then took the chopsticks from Cheng Mengying's hand, and said casually: "Miss, let me fry the fritters! You just need to be in charge of selling and selling."
Xiao Chen put all Cheng Mengying's fried food into bags with chopsticks, planning to eat it for breakfast by himself after the stalls were closed.
"Wow!" Xiao Chen was just about to put away the bag, when the invincible dog squatting beside him suddenly barked, his small eyes stared at the bag in Xiao Chen's hand, then he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking like he was hungry.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you. Since you're hungry, I'll give you something to eat first!" Xiao Chen took out two more "like" fried cakes and deep-fried dough sticks from the bag, and threw them on the In front of the invincible dog.
Invincible Dog didn't care about the weird shapes of those things, but lowered his head and ate them with relish.
"Xiao! Chen! Although the food I fried up doesn't look very good, you don't need to feed it to the dogs! I think you deserve a beating!" Cheng Mengying roared angrily. To maintain the image of a lady, she would have already kicked in the air.
"Hehe, anyway, Invincible Dog is hungry, let's give it something to eat first! Invincible Dog is not an ordinary dog, can it be the same?" Xiao Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly.
Cheng Mengying didn't speak yet, only heard two whining sounds from her feet, it turned out that Invincible Dog had finished eating quickly, now she raised her head and looked at the two of them eagerly, wagging her tail constantly, it seemed that she was not full.
"Smelly dog! You are not allowed to eat the things made by this lady anymore. Other dogs can pick up a purse for the owner, or a slipper or something. You can't eat so much of anything. I really don't know how to raise you." What's the use!" Cheng Mengying patted the head of Invincible Dog bitterly, and reprimanded with a sullen face.
"Woo..." Invincible Dog seemed to have understood the lesson of the eldest lady, and lowered his head aggrievedly, with a pitiful look.
"Oh, you're really forgetful. Wasn't the invincible dog who helped you find the bracelet back then? How could you say it's useless?" Xiao Chen said, but his hands didn't stop, and soon exploded. A lot of fried dough sticks and deep-fried cakes with golden color and luster came out, and the stalls were filled to the brim. Watching them whetted one's appetite.
"You still have the nerve to say it! Look at it yourself, we have been open for so long, and only one guest came, and it was a free trial. Now what are you doing frying so many fried dough sticks and deep-fried cakes? What if you can't sell them at that time? What to do?" Cheng Mengying couldn't care less about getting angry with Wudi Gou, so she hurriedly asked.
Seeing that the time is getting late, the morning market street has more and more people, but no one came to patronize my business, which is really strange.
"Oh, you don't have to worry too much, someone will be here soon!" Xiao Chen didn't care, and continued to lower his head and busy himself with the work in hand.
Although Cheng Mengying saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, there was nothing she could do for a while. How could she call for a deal? I could only stand there stupidly, watching the people coming and going, rubbing my clothes with my fingers, rolling my eyes, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"Sell...sell fried dough sticks...soy milk...tofu brain...fried cake...that one is passing by, don't miss it..." Cheng Mengying finally plucked up the courage to greet the crowd in a low voice, but The sound was like a mosquito, and it was quickly drowned out in the crowded morning market, and no one heard it at all.
"Miss, did you say something just now? I saw you open your mouth, but you haven't heard a sound for a long time. Could it be that you have already learned the skill of sound transmission with magic energy?" Xiao Chen just finished his work and smiled. He joked.
"Fuck you! I'm trying to make a sale, are you deaf? If you're just doing this without shouting, when will you be able to sell so many fried dough sticks?" Cheng Mengying stopped screaming. , with a cold face, he said in a calm voice.
"You shouted so softly, who can hear you? Look who came to patronize you?" Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.
"I... shout if you can!" Cheng Mengying was annoyed and depressed at the same time, she turned her head resentfully.
"You can't shout like that." Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Look, take a look! Tang Ji's early shop has reopened! Today's opening bonus, 20% discount! Pass by, please Don’t miss it, you can still buy first, first served today, otherwise you will have to queue up to buy it tomorrow!”
Xiao Chen's yelling quickly attracted the attention of many passers-by, but there were still more people watching the fun, and fewer people buying.
Many people in the morning market have eaten fried dough sticks sold by Xiao Chen, so they are very impressed, but for this newly opened stall and the two completely unfamiliar faces, passers-by are just watching the excitement, Watching and whispering to each other, no one wants to be the first to try something new.
"Why is it Tang Ji? Since it is the shop opened by this lady, of course it should be called Cheng Ji! You change the name quickly!" Cheng Mengying frowned and ordered in a very unhappy manner. Although it is said that their equipment is borrowed from Tang Tang, but after all, I am the boss! How can you call a name that has nothing to do with yourself?
