Chapter 33
“Are you sure? A lot of people can’t get used to eating Folded Ear Root’s, it’s Yunnan flavor” Lin Minjun had to make sure before making it, “Have you guys ever eaten Dian cuisine? You may not be used to it the first time”
After thinking about it, she said, “Why don’t I make you some first to taste it”
The other guests were fine with it, but the main point was that these two crouching dragons and phoenix chicks did not seem to be good at anything, so it was better to be a little more careful
As a result, the unhappy one said with a stern face, “No, just two, hurry up and make it for us, we’ll eat it right here”
This is the difficulty of doing catering, guests to the door, you can not blow people away
Lin Minjun was more and more sure that these two people were not looking for trouble, so she cautiously made something and handed it over
Sure enough, take chopsticks and eat the first bite of these two people began to make trouble
Lin Minjun also completely sure, this is to come over to find trouble, but she did not understand for a moment, these two people looking for trouble way is also too strange point?
This should be two brothers, the five features have similar places, unhappy probably is the older brother, no brains is the younger brother, also do not know how the two people before the discussion
Brainless ate a mouthful of fried taro, suddenly spit out, said loudly, “What is this thing, a stinking smell, this is for people to eat? It’s fishy and stinky”
His voice was thick and big, while saying this, he put the bowl to his nose, his face was wrinkled into a ball, cursing: “What is this crap, I have lived for nineteen years, I have never eaten such a bad thing, is this for people to eat? You actually take out to sell!”
This was no longer picking a fight, this was slander!
Lin Minjun’s face instantly cooled down, “What do you mean by this, just before I did it, I told you guys that this is the flavor of my hometown, not everyone can accept it, you can’t accept it you can say it’s not tasty, who are you to say that it’s not something that people eat, do you mean that the ones in our hometown aren’t people?”
Because just now brainless voice is particularly large, some passers-by are curious to stop and watch the fun, heard this hurriedly said, “young man, words can not be said, the motherland is so big, strange and bizarre things more to go, a side of the soil and water to raise a side of the people, can not be because you don’t like it, said that this is not a person to eat things”
Brainless brain looks like it is not smart, see someone to persuade himself, more energized, “This word counts me wrong, but you guys smell, this thing can be delicious? Brother what do you think?”
The eyes of the passersby shifted back to Unhappy with his words
“Yes, it’s indeed unpalatable, everyone don’t buy it, this thing smells bad, it stinks” Unhappy picked up the words
But the chopsticks in his hand when he said this didn’t stop, a mouthful of fried yam was just swallowed, the next chopsticks took over, and explained to the crowd, “This thing is hard to eat, but it’s money that buys it, I don’t think it can be wasted, what do you guys say?”
A passerby next to him was slandering in his heart: one bite after another, young man, your action doesn’t look like it’s hard to eat
“Right, I told you it’s hard to eat, what kind of person likes the stinky flavor, yuck, I can’t even swallow a bite!” Brainless was continuing to say, his expression was especially exaggerated, he simply hated to let everyone come and see how terrible this thing was
Brainless was saying that it was hard to eat, unhappy although his mouth said that he didn’t like it, but a bowl full of folded ear root, eyes gave him down half of it, frowning while eating it
This scene, the more you see, the more funny
Because the two people’s voices are really too loud, and mindless and behave particularly exaggerated, a time as long as there is not an urgent matter, they all come over to watch the fun, to see whether someone is picking a fight, or this thing is really unpalatable to make people’s stomachs
Lin Minjun looked at these two gangsters, suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, their means of finding fault is also too primitive, right? Wasn’t it just to attract people over and publicize how bad her food was, making her business worse?
But they certainly do not know, folded ear root has magic, do not like the people disgusted to death, but like the people, eat the first bite will not forget, a bite after a bite, this thing will be addictive, you see unhappy eyes to the hands of the bowl eat up, is not the best example?
Looked around, this time because of the two punks of the nonsense, near the stall has come to a circle of people onlookers
Since setting up the stall, it was the first time Lin Minjun had faced so many people
As a matter of fact, she should have been afraid, but now she was amused and speechless, and didn’t know who she was looking for pain by doing business here, a grandpa or Shen Hongyu?
No matter who it was, there was no way she would let them have their way!
Looking at so many people in front of her, an idea suddenly popped into Lin Minjun’s head, perhaps taking advantage of this opportunity, she can take advantage of the opportunity to open up the sales of her new products?
After calming down and thinking for a while, Lin Minjun already had a plan
At this moment, Brainless was still saying out loud, “All of you remember, the things on this stall are not delicious, in the future you have to go around, look at me, there is still a fishy smell in my mouth, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to eat when I go home tonight!”
Lin Minjun poured a bowl of water and handed it to Brainless, “Then why don’t you drink some water and rinse your mouth? This smell is not pleasant”
Brainless didn’t even see who handed over the water, and drank it with a tilt of his head, then pooh-poohed it a few times and raised his voice, “This stuff is awful, I’ll be here to watch from now on, whoever comes to buy it I’ll look down on, and whoever eats it, I’ll make fun of them!”
“Young man, your brother is eating it now” A passerby tucked in his two hands and joked
Clueless: “My brother?”
He turned his head to look, unhappy is still eating, fried yams have been eaten, his brother is fishing the inside of the folded ear root whiskers to eat, although still frowning, a look of eating a particularly painful, but the things are given to eat
“I’m being thrifty and frugal, isn’t this paid for” Unhappy Mouth had to be busy eating and talking, ouch, it was just too busy
Brainless immediately concurred, “That’s right, my brother is playing up the fine tradition”
“To say economizing is still up to you two brothers” Lin Minjun made a face full of admiration, said and handed over a bowl of folded ear root fried potatoes, said to unhappy, “Little brother, I still have a bowl of it, is just done the rest, why don’t you also help me to eat it, play the fine tradition”
There is a saying that half a big boy to eat poor old man, unhappy people tall and big, a bowl of fried yam at best is padding the stomach, is not feeling enough to eat it, heard this, hesitated, gluttony swallowed a mouthful of saliva
“You’re not being greedy, you’re helping to clean up the leftovers, this is economizing, learning from comrade Lei Feng” Lin Minjun said at the right time
Unhappy immediately nodded his head, “You’ve said so, I’ll help you eat it”
“Thank you little brother, I really have to thank you, you serve it slowly, go eat it on the side” Lin Minjun’s voice was so gentle and sweet, opening a big dense and gentle net, just like a spider making a web, little by little, catching these two brothers into the net, letting them help themselves to open up the sales
After all, the two brothers a twenty-year-old, a nineteen-year-old, although the punks, but not bad to the bone, in front of a tie with two twisted pigtails, a warm smile with the spring breeze like a young lady, the two young men instantly feel a little embarrassed, end of the bowl to run to the side of the stall to go, anyway, they’ve been to the stuff is not good to perform a pass well
A farce developed to this point, the curiosity of passers-by all focused on Lin Minjun’s stall selling fried yam up
Everyone can’t help but think in their hearts, this is called the folded ear root thing is really that bad to eat? If it was really bad, why did that young man take one bite after another?
At one time, someone said to the friend next to him, “Do you smell the smell of oil coming from that stall? I still think it smells pretty good, why don’t we go over there and try it”
“Don’t be impulsive, didn’t you hear the young man say, a fishy smell, you hate fishy people, it’s better not to try it” His friend rushed to persuade
But the young man has been completely hooked by these two people’s performance, “Then why do you think the other one ate so well, said on his lips that he didn’t like it, one bite at a time, bam finished a big bowl, and now he’s still eating it”
“That’s true, why don’t we buy a bowl and share it, it won’t go to waste” His friend hesitated and compromised
The two of them walked together to the front of Lin Minjun’s stall and curiously looked at the two flavors, “Comrade, these two of yours, which one is more to our liking?”
Just now, using their efforts to watch the fun, Lin Minjun quickly fried two flavors, now set up two pots, the same kind of, smilingly said, “I do not know, but here you can try to eat, you use a bamboo stick to pick and eat to see?”
Tasting? The two young men who had just come from the collective economy immediately felt that it was so rare
“Okay, then we’ll all try it”
“You guys taste it and see if it’s really as bad as they say” Lin Minjun said
These two lads tasted both flavors, and one of them said, “Sure enough, a mouthful of fishy taste, it really doesn’t suit my taste, but I feel that this original flavor with only green onions and cilantro tastes good, give me one”
The other one gave a spicy non-stop in hissing, but to the folded ear root love: “Which have fishy flavor ah, this is quite fragrant, eat also a little crunchy, give me a folded ear root”
“Yeah, wait a moment, I’ll make it now” Lin Minjun almost laughed out loud in her heart, was she turning a difficulty into an opportunity
The two punks had originally come to pick a fight, but it turned out that a show had brought sales to her business instead!
Lin Minjun action quickly soak the water of the taro under the frying pan, hot oil boiling in the pan, zi la zi la constantly bursting with flavor, the stall in front of the two young men staring at the pot of taro, and constantly in the swallowing mouth
Next to the onlookers of the passers-by are particularly curious, of course, but also particularly want to taste, this with the end of what is a flavor
So one by one, they came over, “Give me a copy of the folded earrings, and then a copy of the original flavor” This was a wealthy and generous customer
Another in line behind him couldn’t wait, “I’ll have a folded ear root one too, I can eat spicy, put more chili”
“Okay, I’ll put it in the pot now” Lin Minjun said as her hands moved quickly
The people in the back saw this and also hurriedly said, “Give me one of the folded ear root ones as well”
“Me too!”
“Comrade, give me two!”
One after another, in the blink of an eye, sold out two dozen copies, originally the bowl is not enough, good thing there are many people were ready to go out to eat, brought along a lunch box, which solved the urgent need
The first batch of people who finished eating wiped their mouths, felt that the flavor is really good, and the price is not expensive, hurriedly said, “Give me two more copies, I take it back to my lover and children to taste”
“Wait a minute, I’ll do it now” Lin Minjun busy a little sweaty, but see the money jar little by little full, heart simply happy
There was also a person in the back who handed over a large aluminum lunch box, “Make it full for me, I guess it’s about three servings, you’ll count the money according to the three servings”
“What do you mean ah, we won’t buy it after you buy it, this is all that’s left in total, you buy three at once, what about the people in line behind us!” Someone was instantly dissatisfied
“Then you come earlier to line up ah, I came early in the front of the line, and people sell me to buy, I give money and not robbery, so what?”
“Shouldn’t you buy less, the people behind us still have nothing to eat”
“I am taking to the night shift, buy less not enough to eat”
Lin Minjun was busy frying yams and stirring the seasoning, her hands were not stopping, she vaguely heard the noise behind her, and hurriedly said, “It’s my fault today, I didn’t prepare too much, don’t argue, I’m here every day, if you want to eat tomorrow you can still come, tomorrow I’ll prepare a little bit more, okay? Everyone don’t quarrel”
Who would have thought that a while ago a portion couldn’t be sold, today it’s actually not enough to sell, if Erwa knew about it, would the little boy’s eyes glaze over in shock?
When I think of Erwa, Lin Minjun is a little worried, this is going to start school, Erwa has not come back, this baby in the end where to go
But now the most important thing is still the matter at hand, a few people are about to buy more buy less quarrel, Lin Minjun and said, “This is okay, big brother you buy two, to the back of the even a son, the next time you come, then I’ll give you more loaded, can it?”
“Can, you first do it for me” This big brother said
Lin Minjun nodded and moved neatly to put the yams in the pot
Because of the crowded front waiting to eat taro well, everyone began to chat, “I think the folded ear root is delicious, eaten the folded ear root feel that the original flavor is not strong enough”
“Who said, the root of the ear a strange flavor, or the original flavor is delicious”
“What do you mean by strange flavor? That’s the flavor, okay? You don’t know how to eat”
“I don’t know how to eat, Dong Lai Shun ate, xxx has been there? I’m a regular there Do you think I know what I’m talking about?”
“That only means you love to eat, according to my opinion, the folded ear root is the most delicious”
Having just finished reconciling a conflict, not even three minutes of work, a group of people were bickering again over which flavor was the most delicious, and Lin Minjun laughed a little at the sound of it
It was as if the sweet dumplings or salty dumplings in the latter days, sweet beanflower or salty beanflower, it was always a matter of the public saying the public is right and the mother-in-law saying the mother-in-law is right, and it couldn’t be fired
She smiled, did not intervene, everyone will discuss more and more cheerful well
“Brother, there are too many people over there, let’s find a place to wait first” Brainless had his hand on the cooler, glancing towards Lin Minjun’s stall, and pulling his own brother to run to the side of the road again
Unhappy had a bowl of fried yams in his hand, one after the other, and was chewing them in small, reserved bites, not wanting to be seen
“Well, I’m hungry, just happened to squat on the side of the road to pad my stomach” He was still talking tough, found a pole and squatted, then ate away, “You help us look out and see what the situation is like over there”
No brain is still a hand on the pergola toward that side to see, far away from hear that side of the noise in full swing, he is quite a bit of triumph, said, “Noise up! The noise is very fierce ah, the front surrounded a bunch of people, we are considered to have finished the task entrusted by the boss, right?”
Unhappy to hear that everyone is quarreling, immediately relieved, “Boss let us come to smash her signboard, now everyone says it’s not good, surely it’s done, then let’s wait here, wait for me to finish it”
Said he was satisfied squatting down, one after another to the mouth to fill the taro, this bowl and fragrant and spicy, there is a belongs to the fragrance of the folded ear root, simply let a person can not stop ah
The outside of the taro is crispy, bite down when you can hear the sound of crunching, crispy skin inside the powder sticky taro, dipped in spicy seasoning especially appetizing, the more you eat the more energetic, not happy to feel that this bowl to go down their own or not eaten, he picked with a bamboo stick, the rest of the folded earrings are eaten up it
Finally a tilt of the head, the taro crumbs are shaved into the mouth, the heart feels beautiful, after eating still feel inadequate, is planning to find someone to give themselves also go grab a bowl
It can be said that the heart wants to be accomplished, unhappy is thinking so when, in front of suddenly more than two bowls of fried potatoes
The hands holding the bowls were not really delicate, with traces of work, but the skin was white like warm jade, the bones were slender, and the joints were not too big, this was a pair of particularly good-looking hands
Unhappy froze for a moment, sniffed the fragrance wafting out of the bowl, and looked upwards along the thin wrists, only then realizing that it was Lin Minjun standing in front of him
Both brothers were startled, and Unhappy directly took two steps backward, panicking, “Brother, brother! Don’t eat it, did she find out something and is going to get us in trouble”
“I don’t know what she’s singing! Don’t be a wimp, show some of the North City’s little master’s vigor!” Unhappy lowered his voice and roared
Saying that, he straightened his own back and was about to put on a fierce expression to confront Lin Minjun
Who knew that a fist smashed on cotton, Lin Minjun instead passed two bowls in front of each of the brothers and said with a smile, “Eat, count it as my treat”
Both of them froze
Lin Minjun sent it forward again, “Really, it’s not poisoned, I sincerely invite you to eat”
She truly think these two fools quite funny, to find fault not, also gave her the opportunity to prepare today’s yams sold out in advance, this is only out of the stall for two hours, the sun has not set, usually at least five hours to sell all
Brainless also a little hungry, tentatively took over the bowl of chopsticks, fill a mouth, is the original flavor, suddenly squinted his eyes, “Brother, this flavor is delicious”
“Well, there’s no zigzag root in it, you put it in this one” She spoke to Unhappy again
Lin Minjun’s wave didn’t follow the rules, and confused Unhappiness, who took the bowl in a daze and sent it to her mouth again in a daze
While they were eating, Lin Minjun went back to get on her tricycle and said as she passed them, “Hold the bowl and come with me”
The two of them were still holding other people’s bowls, and didn’t dare to run, with a dumbfounded face, they followed Lin Minjun behind, Lin Minjun was in front of the car, and the two of them followed behind, slowly walking forward
Walking, not happy to find a little wrong, “You want to take us where?” How to walk more and more feel with the route is not right
Lin Minjun: “The public security bureau”
The two gangsters were startled, put down the bowl, unhappy ready to take his brother to the bottom of the oil skipped
Lin Minjun snapped, “These two bowls are not to be talked about, you guys also ate two bowls before without paying, eating bully food, shouldn’t I report it to the public security bureau?”
“Brother, what to do, she wants to find public security” Mindless immediately panicked and grabbed his brother’s hand
Lin Minjun continued, “You two haven’t bought anything from me before, and you’re picking a fight on your first visit today, if I’m not mistaken, it should be because someone instructed you, right?”
Mindless panicked again and froze, “Brother, she guessed it, what should I do?”
“Look at you, you’re such a wimp, don’t say you’re my brother when you go out in the future” Unhappy unhappily draw back his hand, against Lin Minjun’s stern eyes, quickly let himself calm down, hands inserted in the pockets of his flared pants, tugging, “What evidence do you have? Don’t you let people say that things are hard to eat?”
“Something is hard to eat you ate two big bowls?” Lin Minjun smiled
Unhappy all of a sudden broke, face a little hung up, “I do not know what you’re talking about, we just come to buy things, think not delicious on the way out, it’s normal, is your home things are more expensive than other people’s homes, say do not let people say”
He’s backpedaling?
Lin Minjun know this kid brain turn fast, not with him, turn to talk to the brainless, “I have guessed, you are instructed to find fault, now the country to encourage personal entrepreneurship, I am responding to the national policy, you two come to find me trouble, I now go to find the public security, by the time you behind that person nothing, you two, humph, maybe to go to reform through labor and sieve the Sand”
Now arrested to labor reform are to sieve sand, all day to eat sand not to mention, wind and sun, that is a bitter
No brain really gave this pass pull tiger skin pulling banner scared, a little panic, pulling brother for help, “how to do, she really guessed it all, what do we do ah?”
“Can’t you calm down, what she said is what she said? We didn’t do anything, didn’t hit or curse, why should we be arrested to reform through labor” Unhappy feel a little helpless, this stupid brother, to people in a few words to scare, “You do not say anything! Don’t shiver, stare at her!”
“I don’t dare” Brainless was a bit abashed
This younger brother lacked a muscle, right? Unhappy had wanted to confront Lin Minjun, but when he saw that his brother had been intimidated before he was any good, he immediately lost his mind
What if when they got to the Public Security Bureau, he did the same thing and told them all about how he was instructed to pick a fight without anything happening?
“What the hell do you want?” Unhappy Sole said as he locked eyes with Lin Minjun
