Bai Erlang still couldn't finish the two bowls of noodles in the end, it was really... too unpalatable.
But the business of this store is quite prosperous, and many people line up to buy.
Bai Shan and the others chose his food because they saw many people sitting on stools and standing in line.
A few people barely finished their lunch, and looked at the stall and customers together.
Could it be that they and Laizhou people have different perceptions of food, which caused such a misunderstanding
Can a person's tongue really make such a big difference
After watching, Bai Shan finally realized something was wrong, so he beckoned to the stall owner, "Check out."
The stall owner responded happily, but didn't move, still kneading his face and asked his son to go and collect the money.
Bai Shan asked, "How much is the total?"
The young man counted for a long time and said, "A total of fifty-six characters."
Zhou Man said without thinking, "Did you make a mistake?"
Bai Shan asked, "How much is a bowl of noodles?"
Because they were eating noodles, the young man really thought that he had made a mistake, so he raised his heart, and said uncertainly: "It should be right, four yuan a bowl, and you ate fourteen bowls in total."
The court ladies following Mingda didn't understand why Master Bai had to personally intervene in such a trivial matter as paying the bill, but seeing that the princess and the son-in-law didn't say anything, they just sat quietly.
While signaling Daji to pay, Bai Shan said with a smile: "There is no mistake, it is exactly fifty-six cash. This noodle is cheaper than any one we eat. How do you sell it so cheap?"
The young man smiled and said, "It's because my noodles are cheap and big bowls that so many people buy them."
He took the money from Daji and counted it. After confirming that it was enough, he stuffed it into his pocket and asked, "Have all the guests eaten?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Eat well."
The young man quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks. Bai Shan and the others saw so many people waiting to be seated, so they didn't want to sit too much, so they got up to make room for the guests.
A group of people stood by the side of the road, Bai Erlang clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder it's so unpalatable, the bowl is as big as four fen."
Mingda didn't know much about money, especially these little coins, so he asked, "Is it cheap?"
Zhou Man sighed and said: "When we were young, we went to Luojiang County to eat noodles. The cheapest plain noodles only added some chopped green onion and it cost six yuan. The one with meat can be seven to ten yuan."
Mingda: "Their noodles don't have chopped green onion."
"Let's not talk about green onion, he doesn't even have oil flowers, and his kneading is average," Bai Erlang said, "It's just a little better than ours."
Bai Shandao: "They don't eat noodles, but flour that fills their stomachs. Didn't you notice that the people who come to eat noodles seem to be coolies on the pier. For them, it is very good to be able to eat such a big bowl of noodles. Of course, I don’t pursue the taste.”
Bai Erlang muttered: "Even if it's cheap, you can make it a little bit more delicious..."
"Okay, don't worry about this bowl of noodles, we're here to see the Laizhou Ferry, so hurry up." Bai Shan urged them, "If the governor of Laizhou and the county magistrate of Ye County know that we quietly ran over to see the ferry Oh no."
The two immediately stopped talking, no longer entangled in the noodles at the noodle stall, and went to the pier together.
Laizhou Wharf is just under the state government, outside the city, but not far from the city. There are flourishing businesses here, not only restaurants, restaurants, inns, but also the entertainment industry. It looks like a small county town. up.
But it is only a town under the jurisdiction of Ye County, outside the city of Ye County, because there is a ferry here, it is very prosperous.
Anyway, Bai Shan looks no worse than his Beihai County.
A group of people pretended to be merchants and went to the pier. When a sharp-eyed manager and helper saw them, they immediately went up to them and asked enthusiastically, "Are you ladies looking for a boat?"
Bai Shan glanced at them, resolutely gave up helping, and responded to the manager of the company, and asked with a smile, "Does your family have a boat?"
"Yes, I don't know where Mr. Lang wants to go?"
He quietly looked at Zhou Man and Ming Da, and felt that both of them had a good temperament, and they were well dressed. When they went out, they brought three maids to serve them, and one of them could be seen as a barbarian at a glance. Their identities must be Not low, so he smiled and said: "I don't know if the gentleman wants to sit on people, or to transport goods?"
Bai Shan asked: "I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know how to bring people and how to bring goods?"
The few people did not deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, and many people nearby heard them. Everyone quietly looked at each other, and then they were ready to move.
As soon as the manager of the company heard this, he immediately turned sideways and said, "I can't explain a single sentence clearly. The pier is dirty, why don't we go to the restaurant and talk about it?"
The manager of the company wanted to take Bai Shan and the others to a good restaurant farther away for a discussion, but who knew that Bai Shan pointed to a restaurant on the shore and smiled: "Then let's go in and talk."
Bai Erlang also looked up at the restaurant, and muttered, "I knew it would take a quarter of an hour longer."
There is a restaurant here to eat.
Bai Shan glanced at him, and walked into the restaurant first.
Seeing that there were a lot of them, the man immediately stepped forward to entertain them. Bai Shan then said, "Find us a private room on the second floor with a wide view and facing the Laizhou Wharf."
The clerk glanced at the shop managers standing aside, immediately responded, and asked them to go upstairs.
When he got to the private room and sat down, Bai Shan felt hungry. Although he had just eaten a bowl of noodles, the bowl of noodles was really tasteless, so he asked the waiter to serve some of their restaurant's signature dishes, and ordered a few more seasonal dishes. Then let him go down, "I don't know how to call Xiongtai yet."
The manager of the company immediately said: "Don't dare, in the next Yuji, he is just a small manager of the Yu family's company, I don't know how to call him?"
Although they have tried their best to dress up as merchants, wearing fine cotton instead of silk brocade, they still don't look like merchants.
Bai Shan said with a smile: "My surname is Bai, and I belong to the family. This is my wife, and this is Bai Erlang."
The manager of the firm looked back and forth between Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, but couldn't see the age difference, so he could only smile and say: "The first son and the second son are very similar in age, no wonder they have such a good relationship."
Bai Erlang stared, feeling that Bai Shan was taking advantage of him, so he was about to speak, but Zhou Man who was sitting beside him stepped on his feet, and Ming Da raised his hand to pick up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
Shirajiro: ...
Bai Shan asked about their boat, "What kind of boat is your boat, and what kind of goods can it transport?"
Hearing these words, it is not for business, Yu Guanshi became more cautious, and said with a smile: "Our family has several boats, which can transport all kinds of goods, but I don't know what the gentlemen want to transport and where they are going?"
Salt is similar to grain and cloth, and both are afraid of getting wet, so he thought for a while and said, "I want to take some grain and cloth."
Guanshi Yu: "...to Jiangnan?"
"yes."
Manager Yu asked with a slight smile, "I wonder what kind of cloth the gentleman is transporting?"
For grain and so on, transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River. There has not been a major natural disaster in the south of the Yangtze River recently. Is it necessary for them to transport grain all the way there? For the time being, he still believes in transporting northward.
