Chapter 36 I want it too
After doing all this, Huaying took out a roll of cloth from the cloth bag she carried with her. It was a piece of thick cloth with a painted pattern of cold noodles. She looked around and hung it on the front left side of the stall. She opened the roll of cloth and saw six patterns of different sizes distributed on a tall, slender thick cloth.
There are two large pictures placed side by side on it. In one picture, a handful of neatly arranged, crystal clear cold noodles are placed in a white straw hat plate, with a few vegetables on the left and red chili oil on top of the cold noodles. The picture looks neat, beautiful and appetizing.
In another picture, the same straw hat plate contains a portion of rolled cold skin. The crystal clear cold skin is wrapped with faintly visible orange, tender green, and white things... Just looking at it makes you want to take a bite to see what's inside.
Below are four circular pictures, staggered up and down. In the middle of two pictures, there are emerald green bamboo tubes filled with bright red and shiny chili sauce and tempting and sticky sesame paste. The other two pictures show two lifelike cartoon characters eating cold noodles with enjoying and satisfied expressions.
At the top of the thick cloth were five words arranged in an orderly manner: "Let's have cold noodles again." Those were the words that Huaying had a sudden idea to draw on the advertising cloth and asked Fu Shiyan for help a few days ago.
The words were written in a flamboyant style, and Huaying was very satisfied with it. She felt that the advertising cloth instantly became much more upscale.
Two stone blocks are used at the bottom to stabilize the edge of the cloth. The bamboo table and bamboo stools are rubbed shiny by the winter snow. The cart is covered with a piece of floral cloth. The jacaranda on the side facing the street pulls the table cloth close to the ground. The green bamboo chopping board is placed on the support frames on both sides of the cart, and below are vegetable baskets and cold skin basins. It looks beautiful and hygienic. Standing on the street, you can't tell that this is a stall converted from a cart frame.
Huaying stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the beautiful and cozy stall with satisfaction and nodded. Dongxue came over and imitated Huaying, standing with her hands on her hips and said, "Sister Huaying, the stall looks really good after being decorated like this." She had just taken a peek at other stalls and found that none of them were as good-looking as her own.
Seeing that the stall had been cleaned up, Fu Shiyan walked over and said, "I'm going to Tongxin Hall. You two can find me there if you have any problems." Seeing Huaying nodded, he turned and walked towards Tongxin Hall.
Dongxue came over and whispered, "Sister Huaying, should we also learn to shout a few times like them?"
Seeing the people coming and going at the intersection, everyone passing by was attracted by the advertisement and curiously asked what it was. Huaying smiled and said to Dongxue, "No need to shout, you will be busy later."
Before Dongxue answered, she heard someone calling Sister Huaying's name. Then she saw a young man holding two sweet potatoes and walking towards them while eating with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hey, Huaying, you're great. You now have your own stall. What are you selling? The paintings are really beautiful." Maizi touched the bowl of cold noodles on the advertising cloth.
"This is the cold noodle I told you about. Try a bowl first." Huaying quickly prepared a bowl of cold noodle and brought it to the table. Maizi sat over and stirred the cold noodle in the bowl with chopsticks with a curious look on his face. He said, "You cook so fast. What's this white thing? I think it's carrot."
"Try it." There were already people gathered outside the stall waiting to taste the wheat, and some illiterate villagers were wondering what the food on the advertisement was.
Maizi picked up the cold noodles and took a big sip. His eyes lit up and he mumbled, "Oh my goodness, it's so delicious. I've never eaten such smooth cold noodles. It's so delicious." After that, he put the sweet potato in his hand on the table, picked up the bowl with one hand and started eating quickly.
The onlookers were also attracted by his expression. It was noon and everyone was hungry. Someone in the crowd said, "Give me a bowl."
Then other people's voices were heard, "I want a bowl too." "I want a bowl too."
"Give me one." "I want one, too."
Huaying said slowly, "Everyone has a share, everyone has a share, everyone line up. We have two ways to eat cold noodles. If you have something to do, you can roll a cold noodle and take it away. If you don't have anything to do, you can sit down and eat it. Whether it's rolling or seasoning, the ingredients are the same, and it's 19 cents per serving."
"It's so cheap, I'll have two cold noodles." "I want some too, I have to go back to check the stalls." Another voice came from the crowd, an old man in coarse clothes left and then came back and said, "I'll buy one for my grandson to try."
"Uncle, this little kid can't finish this rolled cold skin by himself. You can cut it in half for him when you get home and you can try the other half." When everyone heard that the portion was quite large, they urged Huaying to hurry up.
Huaying looked up and asked the first customer whether he wanted it seasoned or rolled. The man hesitated and said, "Seasoned." Dongxue swiftly handed Huaying the bowl with chopped cold noodles and vegetables and the seasoning. Huaying quickly prepared it and let him take it and eat it himself.
The man took a sip and said it was delicious, then he also imitated the wheat on the opposite side and slurped it up.
After that, Huaying and Dongxue were very busy, collecting money while working. Dongxue's excited mouth never stopped, and she greeted the guests while cleaning up the dishes.
In just one hour, Huaying and her friends sold out the cold noodles they had tried out for the first time. Seeing that there were still so many people queuing up, Huaying agreed to come back to sell at this time tomorrow.
Everyone who has eaten Liangpi praises it highly, and it has become a walking billboard. People who have not eaten Liangpi are looking forward to eating this delicious dish tomorrow.
