Chapter 447: Sold Out
A group of young men rushed to the stall and rushed to buy food.
Some slowly walked out, looking around and wandering around to see what new stalls had arrived today.
It was in this atmosphere that several young men rushed to the cart where Liu Laizi was sitting with their money bags.
"What is this for sale? Haven't you seen it a few days ago?"
"Why isn't there even a sign?"
"It's like something new that I haven't eaten before. Let's go and have a look! Let's go, let's go!"
Several teenagers came over, pushing each other, "Boss, what kind of food are you selling on this car?"
I saw several steamers placed on the car, and a bit of hot steam was coming out.
They felt that what was sold on this car was definitely food!
Liu Laizi was stunned. He didn't expect the business to come directly to his door. He hurriedly opened the lid of the steamer to reveal the steamed cakes inside.
Liu Laizi said with a smile on his face: "I made the steamed cakes myself. Let some gentlemen try it! It's delicious!"
The young men craned their necks and took a closer look. The steamed cakes made by Liu Laizi were indeed different from those made by other people.
Other people's cakes are so thick that you'll choke after one bite. His steamed cakes have dense pores on them, they're quite big, and they look very white!
Several teenagers bought one each with the attitude of giving it a try.
These steamed cakes are not expensive, two of them cost a penny.
After entering the mouth, it was unexpectedly delicious, with a hint of sweetness.
The steamed cake looks quite big, but it is full of dense pores and is not as solid as other cakes. The young man is just old enough to eat it, and he will not be full after eating one cake.
So I took out my money and bought a few more.
“A few more pieces!”
The teenagers paid the money happily, and Liu Laizi also accepted the money happily.
I was thinking that people in the capital are wealthy, unlike in the countryside where you have to bargain a lot to buy a steamed pancake.
Several teenagers were walking back with cakes in their arms, and met several classmates who had just left school and said hello.
"Is there anything new to eat today?"
"It's the same food. The meatloaf I bought yesterday is good, but it's too small and not enough to eat. I don't have enough money, otherwise I would definitely buy a few more."
"By the way, there's a new shop selling steamed pancakes outside. We bought a few. The pancakes are quite delicious. You can go and try them!"
"I, I'm going right now!"
Thanks to word-of-mouth spread among several teenagers in the academy, more and more customers bought cakes at Liu Laizi's stall.
Others saw many people selling cakes in front of this stall and joined in to join in the fun.
Just like that, several baskets of Liu Laizi's steamed cakes were sold out in one go.
It was much faster than he imagined. Although he also had business at home, how could the business at home compare with the business in the capital?
Liu Laizi counted the remaining copper coins in his pocket and prepared to close the stall and go home.
"Wait a minute, the steamed cake seller, wait a minute!" A young man in brocade clothes hurried over.
"Do you still have steamed cakes at home?" The boy stood beside the cart and panted.
Liu Laizi looked at the young man in brocade clothes and did not dare to offend him. He opened the cake cage and showed it to the young man in front of him. "This man, the steamed cakes have been sold out! The only half piece left is not cut properly."
When I’m young, I don’t dare to sell it…”
"If Mr. Lang wants to eat it, I'll give it to you to try!" Liu Laizi said enthusiastically.
The steamed cakes he made were big round cakes, bigger than a washbasin. The cakes were too big to eat, so they had to be cut into pieces.
"I want this! Give you the money!"
The young man said, throwing a piece of silver in front of Liu Laizi's stall, and then picked up the cake in the steamer.
"Lang Jun, this is too much!" Liu Laizi held the piece of silver and wondered.
It looked like he had about twenty taels, but he couldn't make this money even if he sold cakes for half a year. He didn't dare to take this money!
"I don't have any change with me, just keep it."
"Mr. Lang, this money is too much. I dare not ask for it. If you don't mind the trouble, I will go find someone to exchange the money. Or I will give you this cake without taking any money from you." Liu Laizi said worriedly.
The young man looked back at him, remained silent for a moment and asked, "Are you coming tomorrow?"
Liu Laizi said happily, "Come on, I will make more tomorrow. If you want to eat, I will save it for you tomorrow!"
The young man then took the broken silver and said, "Then I will bring you some copper coins tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come tomorrow."
Liu Laizi happily agreed, turned on the charcoal fire on the stove, and prepared to go home to make steamed cakes.
Although his steamed cake is not a valuable item, it is a complete surprise that it is so popular among the nobles in the capital.
Recalling the booming business today, Liu Laizi felt a little proud.
Scholars all eat his steamed cakes!
But it's a pity that I didn't have the fate mentioned by the village scholar to meet the emperor who paid a private visit in private.
If the emperor took a bite of his steamed cakes, he would feel that his life was worth it.
Before Liu Laizi pushed the cart far, he saw a group of officials in official uniforms carrying a sedan chair here.
Liu Laizi was hesitant, whether he should salute or...
He looked at the other vendors next to him. They were all doing their own business and had no intention of kneeling.
this……
After the sedan stopped, a man in brocade clothes came out.
"Huanfeng!" Guo Sheng shouted.
Jiang Huanfeng turned around suddenly when he heard this voice, "Hey, why did you come to the school today?"
"I have to come to the school to give a lecture in the afternoon, so I came here!"
"Why didn't you mention it when you came? Have you eaten?" Jiang Huanfeng asked, looking at the steamed cake he took a bite of.
"Want to eat steamed cake? I haven't eaten it in a long time!" Jiang Huanfeng said, and gave the other half of the cake to Guo Sheng.
When they were at Chaoyang Academy in the south, they often had steamed cakes for breakfast.
After arriving in the capital, you can hardly see anyone doing this anymore.
Huixiang Pavilion is owned by his husband, so the kitchen there naturally sells Fa Gao. But Huixiang Pavilion is far away from here, and Jiang Huanfeng rarely goes there. He can't order the dishes he wants, so he never eats Fa Gao.
Besides, food in Huixiang Pavilion is expensive. Although Jiang's family is rich, he doesn't earn the money himself, so he is embarrassed to eat there every day.
It was because he saw someone eating this in the school today that he got excited and rushed out.
"I haven't eaten it yet, thank you!" Guo Sheng responded with a smile, took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth directly.
"Didn't you buy the cake at Huixiang Pavilion?"
"Yes, that's the one I bought at the roadside stall here." Jiang Huanfeng pointed in the direction of Liu Laizi.
Guo Sheng looked over after hearing this.
Liu Laizi had been paying attention to this man in official uniform just now. When he saw him, his legs suddenly became weak.
He nodded and bowed in preparation for salute.
When Guo Sheng saw the trembling appearance of the vendor, he knew that he had scared him, so he stepped forward and complained.
"Guo is rude. Don't be afraid. I am a gentleman in this academy and I am not a bad person." Guo Sheng comforted him.
Guo Sheng didn't say it was fine, but when he said it, Liu Laizi's tremors worsened.
He had just discovered that this was an academy, and now he was told that the teachers in this academy were all officials?
