I'm a street kid, and my beautiful wife doesn't want a divorce!

"May I have your name? asked the owner of the eel noodle restaurant

"Li Xia"

"Xiao Li, I have collected your eel... along with these loaches, small miscellaneous fish and so on."

The boss waved his hand.

Li Xia smiled slightly.

He talked so much with the eel noodle restaurant owner just to get him to collect all his things.

The sales of these eels and loaches are not very good, it is best to have a fixed sales. Save time and cost.

Li Xia had an impression of the personality of the eel noodle shop owner.

So he walked into the noodle shop to eat noodles and chatted with the boss.

The noodle shop owner had a good impression of Li Xia, mainly because Li Xia was able to spot his eel noodle shop.

The noodle shop owner is used to thinking about improving his eel noodles.

"Xiao Li, since you can catch eels every day, we will establish a long-term cooperation. From now on, you will provide eels for my noodle shop."

"I’ll take the eel at 60.80 jin, and other loaches at 60.41 jin."

The noodle shop owner sets the price

"Boss, your purchase price is too high. Since it is a long-term cooperation, let’s follow the market price. Li

Xia shook his head and said:

"Monopterus eel costs 65 cents per catty, others cost 60 cents per catty"

"Okay, as you said, neither of us will suffer, and we can cooperate for a long time."

The noodle shop owner nodded, very satisfied with this young man Li Xia. The noodle shop owner immediately asked someone to bring a draining container, picked out the eels and weighed them.

The eels weighed a total of forty-eight kilograms, sixty-five cents a kilogram, and the income was thirty-one yuan. Mao.

Loach and other small miscellaneous fish totaled twelve kilograms, six cents per kilogram, earning seven yuan and two cents.

The noodle shop owner counted the money and handed it to Li Xia

"Now, the total is thirty-eight dollars and forty cents, you count. Li

Xia stuffed the money directly into his trouser pocket.

The noodle shop owner asked,"Don't you count it?"

Li Xia smiled and said,"I was watching you when you were counting the money just now. You can't be wrong.""

"haha ok."The noodle shop owner nodded, and then invited Li Xia inside again.

"Xiao Li, now that all your eels are sold out, can you sit down and talk about my noodles?"

The noodle shop owner invited Li Xia to sit down, made a cup of tea himself, and then asked:

"You just said that the truly chewy noodles make your teeth bounce when you eat them. Li

Xia nodded and said:"You are an expert in making noodles. You must know that it is best to run cold water over the noodles after they are cooked. This can increase the toughness of the noodles.""

"But the soup base you use is stock. If the water is too cold, it will affect the delicious taste of the noodles. The noodle shop owner slapped his thigh and said,"Yes, you are right, so you can't use cold water. There is no room for improvement!" Li Xia said:"

Actually, there is another way."

The noodle shop owner's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly:"What can we do?""

"When kneading the noodles, beat in one or two eggs. This will make the noodles stronger and taste better."

Li Xia said.

This is a technique commonly used in later generations when making noodles.

Eggs are mainly used as an emulsifier. By beating, a large amount of air enters the flour to form an expanded volume.

Moreover, adding eggs is more nutritious.

"Add eggs to flour?"

This is the first time the noodle shop owner has heard this statement, but it seems very reliable.

"Boss, you will know after you try it, then I will leave first."

Li Xia stood up and said goodbye.

"Why! Xiao Li, don’t go……"

The noodle shop owner was still thinking. Seeing that Li Xia was leaving, he wanted to persuade him to stay.

But he wanted to go into the kitchen right away and try out the new method Li Xia mentioned.

"Then Xiao Li, you are going to bring me eels tomorrow. I will wait for you!"

"good."

Li Xia made this friendship with the noodle shop owner to ensure that his eel boss would always be willing to accept it in the future.

Eels are relatively common in the fields. If there are more people selling them, the market price will definitely fall.

If Li Xia had not reached an agreement with the noodle shop owner, , it will be even harder to sell eels in the future.

Li Xia left the noodle shop and drove the donkey cart to the meat factory.

There was still one and a half kilograms of lean meat at home. Li Xia wanted to buy some ribs and make braised ribs for lunch.

Spare ribs are the most popular type of pork. The most expensive part.

There was no meat ticket, which was only 1.80 cents a pound.

Li Xia bought two pounds of ribs and paid the money.

It is best to use ribs to make braised pork ribs.

Because there are not too many cartilage and other parts in the ribs, The prepared braised pork ribs will taste better.

Moreover, the bones of the ribs are smaller, the meat layer is thinner, and the taste is relatively tender.

Passing by the"Yongjitang" Chinese Medicine Clinic, Li Xia stopped.

The old Chinese medicine doctor inside just gave one away A patient came out and saw Li Xia stopping at the door.

The old Chinese medicine doctor looked Li Xia up and down.

The Chinese medicine doctor had the ability to diagnose. He saw that Li Xia's face was rosy and did not seem to be sick, so he asked:

"What can I do for you?"

Li Xia jumped off the donkey cart, took out a nylon bag from the back, and opened it.

"Do you collect medicinal materials? I picked this from the mountain yesterday"

"oh? What kind of medicine is it?"

There is only one Chinese medicine clinic in the county, and there are many people seeing doctors. When there are more patients, there are not enough medicines.

Especially the rare medicinal materials are even more scarce.

The old Chinese medicine doctor became interested, walked over, lowered his head and looked in the nylon bag

"Huh? Is this a heavy building?

The old Chinese medicine doctor was surprised,"So many?" Li

Xia nodded and said:"Yes, they are all Chonglou. This is the only medicinal material. Will you accept it?""

"receive! I want them all!"

The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Li Xia. This young man is really timely. He is most in need of this medicine now.

The effects of Chonglou are to clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and cool liver shock. It is usually used more often.

But these seven Echinacea is still relatively scarce and difficult to purchase.

I didn’t expect this young man to pick so many!

"Boy, you came just in time!"

"I usually charge five yuan a pound, but today I get two cents more."

"good."Li Xia naturally agreed.

The old Chinese medicine doctor called his two apprentices out and picked them together.

The unit price of medicinal materials is high, so when weighing, the weight of the snakeskin bag cannot be counted.

Weeds in the heavy building must also be picked out.

In the end, the weight of Chonglou was twelve kilograms, which was five yuan and two cents per kilogram, and the income was sixty-two yuan and four cents.

Li Xia kept the money.

Selling precious medicinal materials like Chonglou is really profitable.

But, can he find it? Arrival, it all depends on luck.

When we went back, there were no heavy objects on the cart, so the speed was much faster.

"appeal——！"

The donkey cart stopped steadily at the door.

Li Xia opened the courtyard door and led the donkey in.

Next to the woodshed is a pigsty. In the past, Li Xia's family also raised two piglets.

But after only a few days of raising her, Li Xia gave her to Huo Huo.

Li Xia tidied up the pig pen and temporarily turned it into a donkey shed.

He took off the car cover, led the donkey into the shed, cut some corn stalks and threw them into the pig trough.

The donkey cart lowered its head, took a bite, and chewed it happily.

When the two naughty dumplings saw Li Xia coming back, they ran over on their short legs.

Li Xia squatted down, grabbed one with one hand, put it under his arm, and let the two of them take a"plane ride""

"Ah~! Hahaha~！"

"Woo~! Flying~！"

The two little guys shouted excitedly.

After playing with them for a while, Li Xia went into the kitchen to make lunch.

An hour later, lunch was done.

Three dishes and one soup, taking into account nutrition and deliciousness.

Li Xia ate a bowl of eel noodles. She wasn't particularly hungry, so she didn't eat it with the two milk dumplings.

He finished his lunch staring at the two milk dumplings first, because the food was so delicious that the two little guys would overeat accidentally, which was always bad for their stomachs.

Therefore, Li Xia had to pay attention.

Li Xia packed the food and put it in a net bag.

The two milk dumplings were a little sleepy, so Li Xia put them to sleep first and then gave Chu Mengxi lunch.

The time was a few minutes late, so Li Xia hurried to the textile factory

……

Yongshun Textile Factory.

Chu Mengxi waited at the door for a while, but she was a little anxious when she didn't see Li Xia.

It wasn't that he was afraid that Li Xia wouldn't bring him lunch.

But worried about what happened to him.

There is a young man named Wu Zhengping in the maintenance room of the textile factory. He is energetic and a good person.

He has always been one of Chu Mengxi's admirers.

Previously, when news spread that Chu Mengxi was divorcing her husband, Wu Zhengping launched an offensive against Chu Mengxi with the help of several female employees.

Chu Mengxi ignored him, which disappointed him.

However, he hasn't given up yet.

Wu Zhengping's brother-in-law is the head chef of the textile factory canteen, so he usually eats better food.

By chance, he saw Chu Mengxi lingering at the entrance of the factory and made sure that she had not eaten lunch.

Wu Zhengping quickly quickened his pace and walked up.
