At midnight, Shen Zhiyao's stall officially started selling braised vegetables.
Braised meat dishes cost 32 cents per catty, vegetarian dishes cost 12 cents per catty, and braised eggs cost 2 cents each.
Hearing the price of her fresh braised vegetables, the diners who came up to inquire at the pier clucked their tongues:
"This is too expensive!"
"Everyone can try it first to see if you like the taste of this stewed vegetable." Shen Zhiyao got a small plate of stewed vegetables for trial. The meat was cut into small pieces, and she also used another small plate to put some for tasting. sign.
Naturally, everyone was willing to try such an expensive and fragrant dish for free, and each took a small piece with a skewer.
The mouth is mellow and fragrant, the meat is tender and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.
After a while, the diners who tried it couldn't help but praise it and wanted to try it again.
"One person can only try it once." Shen Zhiyao raised a slight smile.
About half of the diners who tried it bought some.
Some gritted their teeth and bought half a catty of braised pork and half a catty of braised vegetables. Some diners especially loved meat dishes and picked out some of their favorite meats.
"Miss Shen, I want two kilograms of braised pork, one kilogram of braised vegetables, and sixty skewers of Bobo chicken dishes."
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was standing in front of Shen Zhiyao's stall with a multi-layered food box in her hands.
"Miss Xiaocui, a total of one hundred and ninety-six coins, here you go." Shen Zhiyao quickly packed the braised vegetables and Bobo chicken she wanted.
This girl Xiao Cui is her regular customer, and she never hesitates to buy food from her.
Xiaocui put the stewed vegetables and Bobo chicken into the food box and gave Shen Zhiyao one hundred and ninety-six coins.
After paying the money, Xiaocui walked out of the pier quickly, got into a carriage, and headed to Pei Mansion in the south of the city.
Pei Mansion.
After Xiaocui got off the carriage, she went directly to Pei Lingxuan's yard.
Stepping into the yard, she pushed open a door and quickly closed it. She called out in a low voice behind the screen in the room: "Miss."
"Did you buy Bobo Chicken?"
Pei Lingxuan's head quickly popped up from behind the screen, and the next moment she walked out in three steps.
He couldn't wait to say: "Take it out quickly."
She only loves two things in her life, one is chasing Shu Yingran, and the other is eating.
Eat a variety of delicious food.
But her mother did not allow her to eat food from outside for fear that it would be unclean.
So whenever she was greedy, she would ask her maid Xiaocui to secretly search for her all kinds of delicious food in Tongfang County.
A few days ago, after Xiaocui bought this food called Bobo Chicken, she instantly fell in love with it and ate dozens of skewers almost every day!
"What smells so good?"
As soon as Xiaocui opened the food box, an overbearing fragrance hit Pei Lingxuan's nose.
She looked into the food box curiously.
"what is this?"
"Girl, this is stewed vegetables, a new dish made by the stall owner, Mrs. Shen. The slave smelled it very fragrant, so she bought some."
Xiaocui took out the stewed vegetables and Bobo chicken and asked Pei Lingxuan to wait while she went to the small kitchen to get the dishes.
When Xiaocui took the bowls and chopsticks to the room, Pei Lingxuan had already eaten ten skewers of Bobo Chicken.
When she got the chopsticks, she reached for the braised vegetables and took a piece of braised pork belly first.
When you eat it, it is fragrant and delicious, and your mouth is filled with saliva. The more you eat, the more you want to eat.
"Xiao Cui, this is so good. Come on, you can eat it too." Pei Lingxuan continued to pick up the food with a look of enjoyment.
Xiaocui chuckled and picked up the chopsticks: "Thank you, girl."
Every time she bought something delicious for the girl, the girl would let her eat it together. The girl was simply the best mistress!
For several days in a row, Pei Lingxuan asked for braised vegetables, especially the braised chicken feet. However, the braised chicken feet are limited to a daily limit, so if you don’t go there early, you won’t be able to get them!
"What's wrong with Lingxuan these days? She only eats a few bites at dusk every day and then she loses her appetite?"
In the Pei Mansion, after Mrs. Pei finished her evening meal, she thought of her daughter's abnormality and frowned.
After a moment, without waiting for the maid next to her to reply, a look of understanding appeared on Mrs. Pei's face: "Isn't he secretly eating food from the stalls outside?"
After saying that, she stood up and walked out.
The maids followed her steadily.
Arriving at Pei Lingxuan's yard, Mrs. Pei saw that the door was closed.
In the room, the happy and contented voices of Pei Lingxuan and Xiao Cuite could be heard.
"The braised pork is so delicious! The braised tofu is also delicious, and the Bobo chicken is also delicious. I want to eat both of these every day!"
"Miss Shen's craftsmanship is really amazing, girl. I heard that the pocket buns that Miss Shen sells are also very delicious. Everyone who has eaten at the pier has praised them."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go and buy me those pocket buns to try tomorrow morning."
"Okay girl, I will come early tomorrow morning..."
Creak.
Before Xiaocui finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by Mrs. Pei.
Pei Lingxuan was still nibbling on a string of ribs from Bobo Chicken when she met Mrs. Pei's calm eyes.
"mother!"
Pei Lingxuan felt excited and subconsciously gnawed away the remaining ribs in one bite while hurriedly trying to hide the stewed vegetables and Bobo chicken.
"Stop hiding, everyone who should see it has seen it." Mrs. Pei stepped over the threshold and entered.
Pei Lingxuan quickly spit out the ribs and bones and moved a chair for Mrs. Pei to sit on.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"If I didn't come, I wouldn't have known you were eating randomly again." Mrs. Pei sat down angrily, "Where did you buy it again this time?"
It smells weird.
"Bought it at a food stall by the pier."
Mrs. Pei's brows furrowed slightly: "The food sold at the stalls is not as clean and delicious as the ones made by the cooks at home."
Pei Lingxuan hugged her arm, shook it, and said coquettishly: "Mom, this is called Bobo Chicken, and this is braised vegetables. These two foods are novel and delicious. I don't think anyone else can make them except the stall owner. Mom, you Do you want to try it?”
Mrs. Pei poked her head: "Mom won't eat even if she's starving to death. Don't eat anymore. If you get stomachache again, I won't care about you."
When Lingxuan was a child, she ate food sold at a small stall and suffered a terrible stomachache. From then on, she did not allow Lingxuan to eat again.
"Mother confiscated these things." Mrs. Pei winked at her maid.
The maid immediately stepped forward and put away the braised vegetables and Bobo chicken that Pei Lingxuan had not finished eating.
"Ah! Mom, no!" Pei Lingxuan wailed.
Mrs. Pei was unmoved, stood up and said, "Next time, I will take back all your money."
After saying this, Mrs. Pei left her yard with her maid.
All the way back to her house, Mrs. Pei smelled the fragrance that could not be ignored.
"Madam, how should we deal with this?" The maid asked for instructions, carrying braised vegetables and Bobo chicken.
Mrs. Pei: "Take it and throw it away...forget it, put it on the table first."
At night, Mrs. Pei woke up in the middle of the night and was actually a little hungry.
She sat up from the bed and asked the maid to get her something to eat. The tip of her nose first smelled the fragrance that lingered in her heart in the evening.
Mrs. Pei walked towards the table, picked up a bunch of Bobo chicken and put it into her mouth.
“It smells so good!”
Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up, and she used the bamboo skewer of Bobo Chicken to skewer another piece of braised pork.
