Aunt Dong already has some experience cooking noodles, waiting for the noodles in the colander to rise and change color.
Just lift it up and shake the water to avoid splashing everywhere, then put it into the arranged bowl.
Several large bowls are arranged neatly together, which is particularly beautiful.
After pouring the soup, scoop two spoons of sauerkraut from the container with sauerkraut next to it, and add a small spoonful of oil.
Whether it is spooning sauerkraut or oil, it is specially made by Shen Yan, which ensures that the amount used in each bowl is basically the same.
Especially oil, oil is expensive and the amount must be controlled. Just make the beans bigger. If they are spread on the soup, they look oily and very deceptive.
The members of the Tiger and Parlor Mercenary Group will have to sell cloth and dig coal later, so let them eat noodles first.
These people used to be used to eating wheat cakes everywhere without being particular about it. Now sitting at the table and eating noodles is quite novel.
It seems that as Shen Yan said, there is an extra sense of ritual for eating.
The bowl of noodles is a bit big, and with the soup, it looks full.
The mercenary eats a lot, so the wheat cakes he makes are also very large. Such a large bowl of noodles actually only uses the same amount of flour as one wheat cake. The wheat cakes are baked relatively solid, without any room for expansion.
But noodles are different. A small handful of noodles can cook a bowl, and the boiled noodles will look like a lot.
Mix the sauerkraut in a bowl, then use chopsticks to pick it up and put it into your mouth.
The unique aroma of the noodles is mixed with the sourness of the pickled cabbage, stimulating your taste buds as you chew.
Soon, several mercenaries felt so comfortable that they showed satisfied expressions in the white air hitting their faces.
That picture is the most beautiful compliment to food.
Eating noodles with big mouthfuls, feeling satisfied and enjoying it, without being able to fake it at all, life seems to have become particularly beautiful.
In fact, such a large bowl of noodles is still not enough. Zhao Kuo, for example, has to eat three wheat cakes in one meal, and these mercenaries, two wheat cakes are indispensable.
A mercenary group of forty or fifty people actually consumes a lot of food every day. Raising such a mercenary group is not as easy as it seems.
At this time, amidst the shouts of several children in Locust Cubs, one person stamped his feet in front of the noodle stall. He no longer walked away like he had just glanced at before.
There was no other way, the scene of eating noodles on the table was so tempting, even Shen Yan felt hungry just looking at it.
The chopsticks of noodles looked clean and appetizing no matter how you looked at them. Plus, as you were so close, you seemed to be able to smell a little bit of the aroma of the food, which directly aroused the cravings in the early morning.
Shen Yan stepped forward and asked politely: "Want to eat noodles? A bowl of eight bronze doves."
Bronze dove is a common currency, named after the turtle dove on the copper coin.
One wheat cake sells for seven copper doves, and such a large bowl of noodles only adds one more copper dove. It is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it. For mercenaries who are pragmatic, they will definitely start to hesitate if they sell for one more coin. .
The man couldn't help but be startled. As a mercenary, he was used to loud voices. He was a little bit unable to react when Shen Yan asked him such a polite question.
After a while, I thought in my heart, eight copper doves, they are only one coin more than wheat cakes, which seems quite real.
Moreover, looking at those mercenaries, they were eating so comfortably. He had never seen such a satisfied look on the faces of those who were eating, and they had dug out a valuable holy artifact.
I'm a little hesitant, a little confused, and a little bit adventurous. Why don't you try a bowl?
Shen Yan quickly led people to the still empty table and shouted as he walked: "A bowl of pickled cabbage noodles."
Aunt Dong's loud voice said: "Dele, a bowl of pickled cabbage noodles."
There is joy in the voice, because for every bowl sold, you earn a portion of the noodles.
Shen Yan led someone to sit at the table, and the person was obviously a little surprised. The table and stool were so shiny, and even the texture of the wood could be clearly seen. It was quite... beautiful.
This stall named "Noodles" seems to be somewhat different from other stalls, but I can't tell.
A bowl of noodles was served quickly.
It's steaming, and it's many times more pleasing to the eye than the cold wheat cake.
Especially in the morning, a bowl of hot food is so rare. The average mercenary group only fires once a week, so they can only have hot pancakes on that day.
There are chopstick holders on the table.
Pull out a pair of chopsticks and learn to mix noodles in a formal manner.
Only then did I realize that there was actually oil in the bowl, floating on the soup. It was very pleasant, and I seemed to be able to smell the aroma of the oil.
For people who lack meat or have strenuous physical labor, they have an instinctive desire for the taste of oil. This is why the price of fat meat in ancient times was higher than that of lean meat.
Just by smelling it, saliva began to form in my mouth, and I was eager to eat the food. The urgency was beyond anything before.
He quickly took the noodles and put them into his mouth.
hiss!
This smell!
His eyes lit up.
The taste is completely different from the dry wheat cake. The texture of the noodles is constantly stimulated, and the sauerkraut is the icing on the cake.
Noodles and sauerkraut are a natural match, and together they make the taste more colorful.
These eight copper doves are definitely worth it.
Speeds up eating.
I took a few bites and felt comfortable.
At this time, I heard the sound of soup being drank from the table next to me.
He also tried to take a sip. The slightly sour and slightly oily noodle soup was really appetizing.
A large bowl of noodles was finished without even realizing it, with not a drop of soup left.
After a moment of hesitation: "One more bowl."
He usually eats two loaves to be full, but in the morning he just does it casually.
At this time, two more mercenaries came to Shen Yan, they should be from the same team.
After looking at it hesitantly for a long time, Shen Yan didn't urge him. He waited aside with a smile and said, "This is a new food recipe. Do you two want to try it?"
In fact, the two of them were already a little excited, especially when the man shouted for another bowl, they looked very satisfied with the food.
Contentment is contagious.
Just like Shen Yan's era, a restaurant full of people is always more attractive. To put it bluntly, it means the atmosphere is up.
nodded.
Shen Yan took people over.
However, they only had two tables, and these two people seemed unwilling to share the table with others. It was exactly what Shen Yan had expected. Even these people were vigilant when eating noodles, and their knives were placed on the table.
It doesn't matter, the people from the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group gave up their table on their own.
At their own noodle stall, they squatted and ate with bowls in hand, not feeling anything at all. Seeing people coming in, they felt too late to be happy.
When the two of them served it, it felt a little strange. It was different from buying two wheat cakes in the city.
Especially after the two large bowls of noodles were served, they knew why the noodle eaters were so satisfied.
I buried my head and ate happily.
After eating the noodles, the members of the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group went to sell cloth and hunt for media. Only a few capable mercenaries were left to guard the noodle stall. After all, people were coming and going, and they also brought a lot of flour. , easy to be spied on.
The first customer also paid and left satisfied.
After they were far away, the locust cub quickly ran over, put away the bowl, and with a rag in his hand, wiped the table clean without leaving any traces of soup.
Shen Yan said that when others finish eating noodles, they cannot rush to put away their bowls. They have to wait until they leave.
Locust Cubs smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Children of seven or eight years old already understand what it means to sell a bowl of noodles.
If you make money, you can buy more food.
Scatteredly, some mercenaries came over with doubts and curiosity.
In fact, mercenaries rarely buy wheat cakes outside. They are all made by their own mercenary group. After all, they can save a little bit.
Therefore, the business of noodle stalls is not overwhelming. This is the result of consumption habits.
Shen Yan's intention of "making a lot of money" through the noodle stall is probably building up over time.
After thinking about it, people in Mercenary City don't even know what noodles are, but he can open a business. No, there are always people coming to consume, and there are only two tables, so he can't accommodate more. diners.
Thinking like this seems to be enough.
Furthermore, can people who have eaten their noodles still think that wheat cakes are more delicious?
Even if they don’t buy food out every day due to their consumption habits, they still have to think of the taste of their noodles every once in a while, and there is a high chance that they will become repeat customers and satisfy their craving every once in a while.
Just think of it as accumulating customers and building reputation in the early stage.
Once the reputation spreads, business will be better in the future.
Their location is good and the population flow is large. I believe that the news of a noodle stall at the gate of the city will soon spread in the mercenary city.
In the catering business, you don’t just rely on word of mouth.
From now on, the business of the back stall will probably have to be fixed at this location. After all, the location is always changing, and people who want to eat noodles may not be able to find it.
It's actually quite nice here, with a few big trees for shade.
Zhao Kuo was particularly satisfied, and the expression on his face was much happier. He knew the business situation in the Mercenary City better than Shen Yan. For example, the wheat cake stall in the city could not sell a single wheat cake for half a day.
As soon as they started, there was an "endless flow" of business coming to their door.
There was an endless stream of people, and there was a difference in understanding between Zhao Kuo and Shen Yan.
Zhao Kuo was playing with the copper dove he received on his fingertips. The copper coin exuded copper luster, which was wonderful.
Shen Yan: "..."
Hey, this miser has revealed his true colors.
Shen Yan also ran over: "We need to add more tables and stools."
Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement, feeling very hurt when he saw that some people chose to leave instead of sharing a table.
The sun is gradually rising, and the hot weather has reduced the mercenaries' desire to spend when they go out.
Taking some time, Aunt Dong also made some food for Locust Cubs and the others.
Several children held the boss's bowl and ate happily. The children younger than the locust cubs obviously only got half of the bowl, so they had to hold a bowl as big as their head, which tasted more delicious.
At this time, Zhao Kuo took a look at the situation and gave instructions to the few mercenaries left behind to pay attention to the situation and not to let the hard-earned money be robbed by people who were not discerning.
Then he said to Shen Yan: "Take you to a place."
Shen Yan looked at Zhao Kuo who was holding the handicraft box in his hand and thought to himself, where are we going and we need to bring the handicrafts?
