After hearing what the eldest sister said, Xia Xinghe, who had just been frightened by the second sister, felt relieved and walked into the Chaos stall.
The tables are placed outside, and the stall is set up in front of a grocery store.
Xia Qiyue put down the backpack, took out the two little ones, and the five of them sat in front of a table.
"Boss, five bowls of wontons!"
"Okay! Five bowls of wontons!" The boss answered immediately.
I've seen this on TV, it's what the ancients thought.
One pound of beef, one pound of wine, two bowls of plain noodles, Xia Qiyue learned to call five bowls of wontons.
As soon as the boss responded, his boss looked over, frowned and coughed quickly, indicating to her old man to look.
"You and the others are either children or women. You look like victims of the disaster! Can you afford money?"
It's not that she looks down on the victims, it's just that she has run out too much in recent times to pay for food.
So when she saw the shabby clothes, her alarm went off, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pay for the food and run away after eating.
"Okay, okay! Look at those few of them, with two children, one and a half years old, and not even a man. Just eat for free. If you come back in the future, you won't be given anything to eat!"
After hearing what the boss said, the woman was not happy. She put down the bowl in her hand with a bang, shook the rag and sat down, "This business can't be done! We eat more for free than we paid for it in a day, but we still can't."
We want our son to study for the imperial examination together! If we continue like this, let alone earn money, we will lose everything, so what can we provide for our son?"
When the landlady shouted loudly, the people at several tables raised their heads and looked over.
Of course, Xia Qiyue also heard it. At first, she was looking around at the vendors on the street and didn't pay attention, but then she noticed the shout.
"Hurry up and serve the wontons! The customers are still waiting to eat!" The boss didn't care, ignored the woman's fuss, and directed her to work.
Under everyone's gaze, the woman had no choice but to stand up, carry two bowls of wontons, and walk to the table next to Xia Qiyue.
Xia Qiyue's eyes followed the table and there were two old people sitting there. They looked like they were dressed in tatters.
"Two bowls of wontons cost fourteen cents. Pay the bill first and then eat!"
The old lady's face changed, her lips twitched, and she looked at her wife next to her.
I saw that the old man's face was not good, and his hands on the table were trembling, but he didn't take out any money.
"Two bowls of wontons cost fourteen cents. Pay the bill first and then eat!"
The lady boss said it again angrily.
"Isn't it... that you pay the bill after you finish eating?" the old lady asked in a low voice.
At this time, the landlady decided that the old couple came to eat the Bawang meal. Like those people who run away after eating, they were ready to run away after eating and did not want to pay.
He suddenly turned dark and said, "Our stall has changed its rules. Now we won't serve you if you don't pay the bill first! We really haven't had money to pay the bill for meals recently, and we run away too much after eating. We can't afford the compensation!"
The voice was loud enough that everyone around could hear what he said, and he meant it to everyone.
However, she spoke so loudly that the two old men became even more frightened, their hands shook violently, and their faces looked like they were about to cry.
"Our eldest grandson will be here soon, can you give it to us after we finish eating? We really...really won't run away!"
The old lady could only whisper, and then she explained, "We, the old couple, are really hungry and can't walk. Our eldest grandson chopped firewood and sold it, and he will come over soon to pay the bill!"
It seemed that the two of them were indeed very hungry. Only then did Xia Qiyue notice that the shaking hands of the two old men were not necessarily because they were scared, but could be because they were hungry. This was a sign of extreme hunger and lack of sugar.
It’s no wonder that their eldest grandson would let his grandparents eat first and he couldn’t wait until he could sell firewood.
"No! Then you can wait until your eldest grandson comes to eat! I will give these two bowls to others first!"
I don’t know whether she was angry with her men or something else, but the boss’s wife got into trouble today on the issue of paying the bill first and then eating. She didn’t agree to let them eat first.
Xia Qiyue took a look and saw that the boss was cooking wontons and had no intention of interfering.
There was no way she could help it, she couldn't help but violated the Holy Mother's heart, stood up and said to the landlady
"Lady boss, let's pay the bill here! Pay it together with the two elderly people at the table! Give them the wontons to eat first!"
After she finished speaking, not only the other diners, but also the boss, who had been busy cooking wontons and pretended to be dizzy and unable to see or hear, also raised their heads and looked over.
The landlady was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over to Xia Qiyue with the wontons in hand.
Xia Qiyue took out a load of copper coins and said, "Mrs. Boss, I will definitely give it to you if I say so. Give the wontons to the two old people first!"
The proprietress felt relieved when she saw the wontons, turned around, put the wontons down, and hurriedly took two steps to Xia Qiyue's side.
There were forty-nine coins in total. After the lady boss took the money, she smiled with satisfaction, and her attitude suddenly changed.
"Sister, the wontons will be ready soon! Please wait a moment! Right now!"
Xia Qiyue nodded. She actually understood that doing business was not easy for anyone. However, when she saw the two old men walking towards her tremblingly, she quickly took two steps to meet them.
"Grandpa, grandma, eat it while it's hot! Go back and sit down!"
There was no way, Xia Qiyue didn't let the two old men speak, and helped them back to their table to sit down.
The two old men had tears in their eyes. When Xia Qiyue left, they were still saying, "Old man, we met a good person today!"
Her wife nodded, "Eat it while it's hot! Let's return the money to that girl when the army comes back soon. You see, it's not easy for her to have two babies!"
The two old men said nothing. The landlady took the money and soon served wontons to Xia Qiyue and the others.
"Madam boss, don't we sell tea eggs here?" Xia Qiyue looked around. There were noodles, wontons, and steamed buns, but no tea eggs.
This should be similar to a breakfast shop, but there was no one selling eggs, so I asked out of curiosity.
"Sister, do you want to eat eggs? We have a few eggs here, but what kind of tea eggs are you talking about? I don't know!" The proprietress has three daughters at home. She usually raises chickens, feeds pigs, and does embroidery work at home.
, so they occasionally save eggs and sell them as boiled eggs.
But I have never heard of what tea eggs are, eggs laid by tea leaves? What are tea leaves? Can they also lay eggs?
The proprietress was so confused that she couldn't even understand tea leaves. She probably heard it as a homophone and thought it was a kind of poultry that lays eggs.
"How many are there? Why are eggs selling so well?" Xia Qiyue asked, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hey, sister, we don't sell eggs at our stall. We don't raise enough chickens at home and we're worried that we won't have enough to eat, so we occasionally save some and sell them. You are lucky today, so there are still a few eggs on the stall!
"
The landlady had no idea what Xia Qiyue wanted to know, so she waved her hand and explained casually.
