Chapter 233 233. Green vegetables in rice noodles
Doctor Zhang touched his wallet and was about to cry in frustration.
Because his savings of only 17,000 yuan were not even enough for tea, so how could he have the nerve to bring it up to Jingjing's house?
But…
But there is no other way!
One pound of tea, two bottles of honey, and five thousand yuan left, may not be enough for next month’s living expenses and mortgage payment.
Song Tan also took out the pound of half-broken cabbage and smiled like a profiteer: "Doctor Zhang, do you want this cabbage?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at her and finally confirmed: "Free?"
Seeing Song Tan nod, he also responded firmly: "Yes!"
Turning around, he took the handful of green vegetables and turned into a side alley. After walking a few steps, he handed it to the boss selling rice noodles:
“Boss, a bowl of rice noodles and some green vegetables.”
boss:…
The two looked at each other.
Long time.
The boss took the bag of cabbage with a complicated look on his face: "Young man, you know how to live."
“I have been selling rice noodles here for decades. In the past, everyone was not well-off, so if they wanted to add eggs, they would bring them from home.”
“I didn’t expect that life is getting better now. There are people who bring their own vegetables—young man, you haven’t collected or washed the vegetables. If you add more vegetables, you will have to pay two yuan for processing fee.”
“Before I say it, I’m not a profiteer. If you bring your own eggs, I won’t charge you.”
Two dollars? !
Two yuan is almost enough to buy a handful of Chinese cabbage!
Dr. Zhang Yuan felt the pain of poverty, but he couldn’t give away the handful of vegetable leaves now, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth:
“Two pieces is two pieces!”
snort.
He thought to himself: My cabbage is worth twenty!
The boss moved quickly. At this moment, he tore off the straw rope outside the cabbage, and without any pain, he tore off the leaves that were squeezed into the outside.
Then he grabbed the root of the cabbage and twisted it hard. There was a clicking sound one after another, and all the heads of the cabbage were cut off.
This action made Dr. Zhang’s eyelids jump, and he held back his words.
Then, the boss gently rinsed the cabbage leaves into a basin for adding water - the originally clean cabbage became more and more juicy.
This dish is good.
This thought flashed through the boss's mind, and then he was thrown into the pot.
The hot water slowly blanches the green vegetable leaves until they become soft, and the rich and crisp freshness unique to green vegetables slowly spreads, making his salty rice noodles even more unique...
Zhang Yuan touched his belly and finally felt a little bit of comfort.
At this time, several people had gathered in front of the stall. Everyone stared at the cabbage in the pot: "Boss, add that much green cabbage for me too."
“I want it too! It smells delicious.”

This time it was the boss’s turn to be dull.
“Then what…”
He quickly scooped up the green vegetables and rice noodles and handed them to Zhang Yuan who was standing aside, and then explained: "This is not my cabbage, this is what I brought myself. My cabbage is like this -"
It is inevitable that the reputation will be ruined. At this moment, he ruined the reputation first. I grabbed a handful of green vegetables that I had prepared in advance, rinsed them a few times, and then took them out.
The boss was helpless: “Do you still want it now?”
Everyone:…
The contrast between the two sides was so brutal that I instantly lost my appetite. However, when everyone was about to refuse, Zhang Yuan stirred the hot rice noodles with chopsticks, causing the green vegetable leaves inside to tumble.
There is nothing more to say, this is simply eating rice noodles with a knife on your neck!
Everyone said bitterly: "Yes!"
Four people were sitting around the simple small square table. Three of them stared at their bowls in bitterness. Only Zhang Yuan was snoring and felt that the money he had just spent was not so heartbreaking.
At this moment, a big spoon suddenly stretched out in front of me, with a poached egg in the spoon.
He was startled, and when he raised his head, he saw the boss's smile turned into a chrysanthemum:
“Brother, I just want to know where you bought this cabbage?”
Although it was just a poached egg, Zhang Yuan only felt satisfied, so he pointed to the entrance of the alley: "There is an empty pickup truck turning left in front of you. That is the vegetable seller."
Okay!
The boss hurriedly handed the spoon to his wife, and then trotted out of the alley.
Behind him, there were several diners who were carefully carrying bowls of rice noodles. This cabbage is so delicious, so you can’t go wrong by buying two more kilograms to take home, right?
At the vegetable market.
Before Zhang Yanping returned from delivering the cart, Song Tan and Qiao Qiao stacked all the empty baskets on the roadside and put away the benches.
Look again at the honey and tea leaves piled on the back seat—
Sigh, I’m so busy selling vegetables that I have no time to promote my new peach nectar…
While I was thinking about it, I saw several people standing in front of me shouting: "Hello, is the cabbage seller here?"
Song Tan didn't even raise his head: "It's too late, it's gone."
It’s only after eight o’clock. What kind of vegetables are sold out now? This amount is too little.
The shop owner was about to open his mouth when he saw Zhang Yanping was far away and came back with a pile of empty baskets:
“Tan Tan, someone asked us when we will come next time. The food we brought today is still short. Next time we can lift two thousand catties.”
Song Tan couldn't help but feel depressed: "Brother Yan Ping, how much can my pickup truck hold in total?"
The maximum load capacity is only 1,500 kilograms. Adding the weight of the three of them, a thousand kilograms is already the limit.
Zhang Yanping is also very regretful: This is guarding the treasure mountain in vain, but there is no way to pick up the money. How depressing it is!
But fortunately, they saw the vast market in Ningcheng. One thousand kilograms of cabbage was sold out, which is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in one morning!
He instantly beamed: "Tan Tan, if you can't, just buy another pickup truck and I'll drive it. I guess it will sell for another thousand pounds!"
Listen, listen!
Is this human language?
This is a residential vegetable market, not a vegetable wholesale base. How delicious are these baby cabbages to be sold out at this point?
It’s just past eight o’clock now, and the vegetable market is at its busiest. A thousand kilograms of vegetables have been brought in and it’s not enough to sell?
The rice noodle boss was in disbelief and understandable at the same time. After all, the green vegetables smelled really good. But he couldn't make up for it, so he couldn't bear it: "Girl, do you come here to sell vegetables every day?"
Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head and said loudly: "No, no, we came to the amusement park, so we sold vegetables on the way."
The vegetable vendors who were holding on to three and a half pounds of cabbage, but unable to sell them, all breathed a sigh of relief.
You don’t have to come every day, otherwise they might as well just set up the stall themselves.
