The owner of the wonton stall was a young man with a pale face, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
This wonton stall is very simple, just pick up two ends of a pole.
On one side is a ceramic stove, with a pot on it, and the wontons are in this pot.
At the other end of the pole is a small cabinet, with a bunch of condiments on the top, a drawer in the middle for money, and materials and firewood at the bottom. In short, the sparrow is complete despite its small size.
A small stall with only a few bamboo benches next to it where the stall owner visits.
Five or six men were sitting on the stool, blowing air and eating wontons!
"Boss, have another bowl!" At this time, a lean young man stood up and came to the stall!
"Third brother, I've been squatting here for several days, why haven't I found Weng Zhengchun? Did Xu He fool us?"
It turns out that the person setting up the stall is Qin Lie, the former third leader of the Taihu water bandits, and the person speaking is Dao Zi who has been accompanying him.
Looking at the big men eating wontons, if Xu He is here, they all should look familiar, but they are not all Qin Lie's thirteenth class.
Qin Lie shook his head: "Impossible. Although Xu He is a scholar, he still keeps his word. Otherwise, he would not let us go easily."
Daozi wondered: "Then it stands to reason that Weng Zhengchun should have appeared a long time ago. Why haven't we discovered it until now?"
Qin Lie frowned and said: "There is definitely something weird about this family. We have been here for so long and we have never seen the owner of this family come out! Every day, only the old lady buying vegetables comes in and out!"
Daozi said: "You mean Weng Zhengchun and the Japanese pirates are hiding inside?"
After saying that, he shook his head: "I told the old woman that she didn't buy much food every day. It's enough for the family, but if you add so many Japanese pirates, Weng Zhengchun and others, it's definitely not enough!"
Qin Lie was also very irritable. He wanted to avenge his second uncle, Liu San and others, but he couldn't find a way. If this line was broken, his hope of revenge would be slim.
At this moment, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly sat on the bamboo stool where the knife was sitting: "Sister of wontons, cook me a bowl and bring it to me. I don't want to eat shrimps!"
Qin Lie and everyone in the group unanimously looked at the young man.
Daozi said coldly: "Brother, this is my position!"
The young man glanced at the knife, smiled slightly and stood up: "Since we are brothers, I give in..."
While talking, he came to Qin Lie's side and said, "Have a bowl of wontons!"
Qin Lie smiled and said, "Brother, they have all been sold out just now. If you want to eat, I will pack them immediately. Can you wait?"
The young man curled his lips and said, "Wait! There's nothing urgent!"
Qin Lie originally planned to send him away, but who knew that this guy would not follow the routine and was actually willing to wait.
With no choice, he could only take out the dough and the small bowl with the meat.
"More meat stuffing, don't fool me with stuffing as big as eyeballs!"
Riding a horse, this kid has a lot of demands. The thirteen people sitting on the bamboo bench all turned their attention to the wonton stand.
Qin Lie was startled for a moment, then shook his head inconspicuously, and turned to smile at the young man: "Brother, we used to be a time-honored brand in Huzhou. We are new to this precious place, so we don't dare to fool you!"
As he spoke, he put the duck on the shelf, holding the wonton wrapper in his left hand and the bamboo scraper in his right hand. As soon as he scraped it down, a large piece of meat filling was spread on the wonton wrapper.
Qin Lie was not the master of work in the first place, so he put down the scraper after smearing the meat filling, holding the dough in both hands and kneading it for a long time, before he could wrap up a wonton.
Looking at the wontons in the bamboo basket, they looked so ugly, like a toad that had eaten its belly in a crooked way. The knife looked at it and just wanted to close its eyes.
Qin Lie was also sweating because of his wontons. He raised his head and smiled at the young man: "Here, brother, wait a moment!"
The young man said with a playful smile: "Seller of wontons, I don't think your bag of wontons looks like a time-honored brand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Thirteen and others suddenly changed, and they reached for their luggage beside them.
Qin Lie was slightly startled when he heard this, and said wisely: "Haha, our family is indeed a time-honored brand, but it is my father's business. Brother, I just took over, and I am not very familiar with it yet!"
The young man was noncommittal when he heard the words and looked at the condiment table.
"Seller of wontons, how come you don't even have lard in your wonton stall's seasonings? How can I eat this?"
Qin Lie followed his gaze and felt a thump in his heart. Sure enough, he even forgot to bring gas when he left the stall!
"Haha, this... I forgot about it today!"
The young man turned to look at Thirteen and others, who quickly pretended to lower their heads and eat wontons.
The young man smiled and said: "These brothers can tolerate it. There is no oil in the wontons, but you actually eat them with gusto."
Qin Lie finally figured out that this person was here to eat wontons. There was obviously something in his words.
Just when the young man looked at Qin Lie with a smile, the thirteen and others had already stood up and surrounded the young man.
The young man looked around and saw that he was surrounded by people. He was not anxious. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "Hey, is this a stall selling wontons, or..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Lie put down the scraper in his hand and said coldly: "Brother, we have just arrived in this treasure land. We are in a hurry and have not visited the dock yet. Come on, tell me about your brand name. I will go and meet your family today. The shopkeeper’s.”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and thought, well, he just made a fool of himself.
He smiled slightly: "I do have a shopkeeper, but it's a pity that he's not in Changshu County!"
At this time, he had already taken out the knife and put it on the young man's waist and said: "You are trying to blackmail our brothers. Tell your short-lived shopkeeper not to cause any trouble for me, otherwise... "
When the young man saw this, he knew he couldn't tease them anymore, so he smiled and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
"What a misunderstanding!" Thirteen shouted directly, eyes wide open, "Get the hell out of here, don't mess with me, you are still drinking milk when I am licking blood with the blade of my knife. !”
The young man said with a playful smile: "Everyone, are you looking for someone?"
Qin Lie's pupils shrank sharply: "Who are you?"
Seeing that the knife on his waist was pressing harder, the young man quickly said: "Misunderstanding, I was sent by Hailing Xu He!"
Upon hearing Xu He's name, Qin Lie was obviously relieved: "Are you from Xu He? Why did he ask you to come here?"
"Of course he asked me to keep an eye on the Wang family, but before I set off, he told me about you!"
"So when I was staring at the Wang family, I didn't expect to notice that you people were not right. When I thought that Xu He had said something about you, why didn't I come here to test it? I never thought that you guys were so untested. The secret is revealed!”
After that, he picked up the wonton in the bamboo basket and said: "To make wontons, just pinch them with your thumb with one hand. I have never seen the time-honored [Shao Zhang Gui] use two hands. Also, the wonton filling is so Duo, do you think it’s making dumplings?”
When Qin Lie heard this, his old face turned red.
The man said: "Okay, don't stay here anymore. You won't be able to find those people until next year. If you want to know where those people are, come with me!"
Qin Lie cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I haven't asked for your name yet!"
The young man bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Wang Zhu'er!"
