Chapter 211: You Can Make Money Wherever You Go
"Do you still want to pay?"
"Aren't you losing your conscience? Others are kind enough to help you share the burden, but they are afraid that you will waste it, so you still charge money?"
It was the same few people who had all the nice things to say.
Yan Ruomeng suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as if he were reading the comment section on the modern Internet.
But as a decision-maker, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with charging fees.
Yan Ruomeng said nothing, and those who criticized her were at a loss.
The voices on the other side stopped, and Yan Ruomeng opened the lid of the iron pot. The water inside was already boiling.
Yan Ruomeng picked up a piece of dough, weighed it in her hand, and held it in her left hand. She picked up her usual kitchen knife horizontally with her right hand, pointed the tip of the knife towards herself, and sliced down the dough diagonally.
A long and well-proportioned noodle was cut into the iron pot.
Everyone around was stunned. Yan Ruomeng did not stop, but continued to peel the dough, one piece after another.
The movements of his hands were so fast that people couldn't see clearly, and soon the dough in his hands turned into noodles tumbling with boiling water in the pot.
After these noodles are soaked in water, they are just enough for four people.
Looking at the noodles in the pot, Yan Ruomeng said without squinting.
"Jin Nuo, set up another pot."
"Ah San, wash the wild vegetables."
Jinnuo quickly took out another pot from the carriage. This time it was a small round pot, which took up little space and was quickly set up.
Not to be outdone, Ah San moved quickly and washed a pot of wild vegetables in a short time.
Yan Ruomeng walked to the chopping board, holding a wild vegetable in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. With the movement of her elbows, the wild vegetables were cut into evenly sized pieces.
The round pot was almost hot. Yan Ruomeng first scooped two spoonfuls of lard with a spoon and let it melt while the lard was still hot. Then, while the lard was still hot, he added lard residue and wild vegetables, stir-fried for a few seconds, and added the secret seasoning.
The moment the seasoning comes into contact with the hot oil, the aroma of the seasoning is stimulated to the greatest extent. Under Yan Ruomeng's spoon, the wild vegetables and lard residue are evenly coated with the secret seasoning.
Controlling the spoon with one hand, Yan Ruomeng reached out with one hand and opened the lid of the iron pot. The noodles were cooked and floating on the top.
"Jin Nuo, Ah San, prepare bowls."
After receiving the order, the two of them each took a bowl in each hand and approached Yan Ruomeng.
Then Yan Ruomeng stirred the cooked noodles with chopsticks, took out one chopstick and put it in a bowl, and then the next bowl. She measured the portion very accurately, and one chopstick filled a full bowl.
There are exactly four bowls of dough. After the noodles are taken out, the wild vegetables and lard residue are also stir-fried. I flip the spatula and take out only one spoonful. After staying for a moment each night, four equal-sized portions of the stew are divided.
When Asan and Jinnuo put the noodle bowls on the table and added hot soup, the shaved noodles were ready.
Yan Ruomeng's movements were neat and quick, and the whole process of making noodles was not sloppy. The soldiers who were watching were stunned.
At this time, the delicacies were cooked, and tears flowed from their mouths.
Yan Ruomeng put one of the bowls on a plate and said to Ah San, "Ah San, please give this to His Highness."
"Hey, I'll run over." Ah San was in agitated mood and grinned uncontrollably.
Ah San was worthy of being a secret guard. He asked him to deliver the noodles, but he came back within five minutes.
I just happened to catch up with Yan Ruomeng to have noodles together.
The three of them each brought a bowl of noodles and placed it on the wooden table. They also brought small stools from the carriage. They sat on the stools opposite the wooden table, which was just the distance from where they usually eat at home.
Facing the mouth-watering knife-cut noodles, the three of them picked up their chopsticks and ate all the noodles in a short while. Ah San and Jin Nuo didn't even save any soup.
Although they were still satisfied with the food, they couldn't finish it if they were asked to eat another bowl.
Ah San and Jin Nuo had enough to eat and drink, and consciously cleared the wooden table and bowls.
Looking at the seven portions of dough in front of her, Yan Ruomeng smiled and faced the young man who asked her for the noodles.
"Two cents a bowl, do you want to eat?"
The young man looked around and after confirming that Yan Ruomeng was talking to him, he immediately touched his sleeves, took out two cents and handed them out, "Eat, eat, please bother this little brother."
Yan Ruomeng accepted the money, picked up the dough and continued the operation just now, but this time the dough fell into a quarter before it was finished cutting.
A bowl of shaved noodles is ready again in no time.
After taking a bite of the chewy noodles, the young man who paid the bill exclaimed that it was refreshing. For two pennies, he could eat both vegetables and meat. Where in the world could he find such a cheap thing?
After finishing the bowl of noodles, the unpleasantness of being scolded by the elder just now disappeared, and I felt warm all over my body.
The young man consciously washed the bowl and put it on the wooden table.
"Thank you, little brother. If you have extra food next time, just call me."
After the boy finished speaking, he held the knife hanging on his waist and ran to patrol.
There was a group of soldiers left. Look at me and I look at you. After someone took a step, the remaining people were unwilling to be left behind. They took out two coins from their bags and handed them to Yan Ruomeng.
.
"Brother, I'll have a bowl too."
"Brother, I can write three articles, can you write more for me?"
"I'll pay four cents."
…
In an instant, Yan Ruomeng's table of leftovers became a feast for the eyes. Yan Ruomeng picked up the dough and started to work. One by one, he cut all the dough into noodles and put them into the water. The people around him squeezed one by one, almost squeezing into the pot.
.
Seeing that Yan Ruomeng's business was so good, Ah San couldn't help but sigh to Jin Nuo, "I also want to learn some skills from Yan Chu. With skills, I can make money wherever I go."
Jin Nuo said nothing, but frowned as he looked at the crowded group of soldiers.
"Come and help."
Jin Nuo shouted, and stepped forward to pull away the two soldiers who were crowded at the front. His face was cold, and the soldiers who were pulled away did not dare to say a word.
Ah San looked at the anxious atmosphere and quickly smoothed things over.
"Come one by one, line up, don't mess around."
"As we agreed, we accidentally overcooked too much today, and if we sell out all the food, we'll be gone. Don't rely on us for what you haven't eaten."
Yan Ruomeng was quick on his feet, and the soldiers also ate quickly because they had to arrange patrols. This temporary stall actually ended its business within an hour and called it a day.
When it came to finishing the work, Ah San and Jin Nuo didn't let Yan Ruomeng move. One of them cleaned up the tables and chairs, the other cleaned up the dishes, and they cooperated seamlessly.
As for Yan Ruomeng, he had already sat in the tent and counted money.
In the past, all she earned was money and banknotes, which could not be contained in a small bag. But now she was losing copper coins, which could not be contained in a money bag. She was really enjoying counting them.
"Three hundred and fifty-one, three hundred and fifty-two..."
Feeling very happy, the tent was suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked into the tent. Yan Ruomeng raised his head and met Tang Yuchuan's joking eyes.
"You can also make money from this. You are worthy of being Boss Yan."
