Chapter 214: Green Vegetables in Rice Noodles

~7 min read 1,388 words

Dr. Zhang touched his wallet, and at this moment he was so frustrated he was about to cry.

Because his pitiful 17,000 yuan in savings couldn't even make up a pair of tea leaves, how could he be embarrassed to take them to Chen Jingjing's home?

But...

But there was no other way!

One jin of tea leaves, two bottles of honey, and 5,000 yuan left, which might not even be enough for next month's living expenses and mortgage.

Song Tan also took out the bundle of baby cabbage that was half-bad from being squeezed, and smiled not like a profiteer at all: "Dr. Zhang, do you still want this baby cabbage?"

Zhang Yuan looked at her and finally confirmed: "Free?"

Seeing Song Tan nod, he also gritted his teeth and agreed: "Want!"

He turned and pinched the bundle of green vegetables and turned into a side alley, walked a few steps, and handed it to the rice noodle boss on the side:

"Boss, a bowl of rice noodles, add a bundle of green vegetables."

Boss:...

The two looked at each other.

For a long time.

The boss took the bundle of baby cabbage with a complex expression: "Young man, you know how to live."

"I've been selling rice noodles here for decades, originally everyone's life wasn't well-off, if they added an egg, they brought it from home themselves."

"I didn't expect that life is better now, and there's still someone bringing their own green vegetables—young man, your green vegetables haven't been cleaned or washed, if you want to add them, you have to pay two yuan for processing."

"I'll say it in advance, I'm not a profiteer. If you bring your own eggs, I won't charge you."

Two yuan?!

Two yuan is almost enough to buy a bundle of baby cabbage!

Zhang Yuan felt the pain of poverty, but the bundle of vegetable leaves couldn't be given away now, so he had to grit his teeth:

"Two yuan is two yuan!"

Hmph.

He thought: My cabbage is 20 yuan!

The boss's movements were nimble, at this moment he pulled off the rice straw rope on the outside of the baby cabbage, *clack clack* without any heartache, he broke off the outer leaves that were squeezed into a mess.

Then he grabbed the vegetable root and twisted it hard, the sound of *clack clack* rang out one after another, and the baby cabbage was neatly beheaded.

This action made Dr. Zhang's eyelids jump, and he endured it without making a sound.

Then, the boss rinsed the vegetable leaves in a basin used for adding water—the originally clean baby cabbage became even more vibrant.

These vegetables are not bad.

This thought flashed through the boss's mind, and then it was thrown into the pot.

The hot water slowly softened the emerald green vegetable leaves, and the unique, rich, crisp, and fresh fragrance of the green vegetables slowly dispersed, making his salty and fresh rice noodles have a unique flavor...

Zhang Yuan touched his stomach and finally felt a trace of comfort.

And at this time, several people had already surrounded the stall. Everyone stared at the baby cabbage in the pot: "Boss, add that much green vegetables to mine too."

"I want it too! It smells so delicious."

"I want it too, I want it too."

This time it was the boss's turn to be dull.

"That... what..."

He quickly scooped up the green vegetables and rice noodles and handed them to Zhang Yuan on the side, and then explained: "This isn't my cabbage, this is what someone brought themselves. My cabbage is like this—"

In order not to ruin his reputation, he ruined his reputation himself first.

He grabbed a handful of pre-prepared green vegetables and scooped them out after rinsing them a few times.

The green was still emerald green, and the jade-white stalks were still the same stalks, but the unique, water-rich, crisp, and fragrant fragrance of the green vegetables was not smelled at all.

Boss helpless: "Now... do you still want it?"

Everyone:...

The contrast between the two sides was too tragic, so much so that they instantly lost their appetite. However, just as everyone was about to refuse, Zhang Yuan stirred the hot rice noodles with chopsticks, and the green vegetable leaves in them also rolled.

What else is there to say, this is simply forcing them to eat rice noodles with a knife to their necks!

Everyone said bitterly: "Want!"

Four people sat around a simple small square table, three of them stared at their bowls with bitterness, only Zhang Yuan ate with a slurping sound, only feeling that the money just spent wasn't so painful.

Just then, a large ladle suddenly reached out, and there was a poached egg in the ladle.

He was startled, looked up, and saw the boss's face smiling like a chrysanthemum:

"Brother, I just want to ask, where did you buy this cabbage?"

Although it was just a poached egg, Zhang Yuan only felt satisfied, and pointed to the mouth of the alley: "There is an empty pickup truck left at the front, that's the one selling vegetables."

Alright!

The boss hurriedly handed the ladle to his wife, and at this moment ran towards the outside of the alley.

Following behind him were several diners carefully holding rice noodle bowls—this cabbage is so delicious, buying two jin to take home, it shouldn't go wrong, right?

And at the vegetable market.

Zhang Zhang Yanping hadn't returned from delivering goods, Song Tan and Song Qiao Song Qiao stacked all the empty baskets on the side of the road and put away the stools.

Look again at the honey and tea leaves piled on the back seat—

Sigh, selling vegetables was too tense, so much so that there was no time to promote their new peach blossom honey...

Just pondering, they saw several people standing in front of them: "Hello, may I ask if the one selling cabbage is here?"

Song Tan didn't even lift her head: "Too late, gone."

It's only past eight o'clock, what vegetables are sold out now? This amount is too small.

The shop owner was just about to open his mouth, but saw Zhang Zhang Yanping returning from a distance, holding a stack of empty baskets:

"Tan Tan, the hospital patients asked when we are coming next time? The vegetables brought today were still too few, next time we can pull 2,000 jin."

Song Tan couldn't help but be depressed: "Brother Zhang Yanping, how much can my pickup truck hold in total?"

The maximum load capacity was only 1,500 jin, plus the weight of the three of them, having 1,000 jin was already the limit.

Zhang Zhang Yanping was also very regretful: this is guarding a treasure mountain, but unable to pick up money, how depressing!

But fortunately, they saw the vast market in Ningcheng, 1,000 jin of cabbage sold out, which meant 20,000 yuan in hand early in the morning!

He instantly beamed with joy: "Tan Tan, why don't you buy another pickup truck for me to drive, I reckon we can sell another 1,000 jin!"

Listen, listen!

Is this human talk?

They are in a residential vegetable market here, not a vegetable wholesale base, how delicious must this baby cabbage be to be sold out at this time.

It's only past eight o'clock now, the vegetable market is at its busiest, and pulling 1,000 jin of vegetables isn't enough to sell?

The rice noodle boss on the side was both unbelievable and felt it could be understood, after all, the green vegetables really smelled good. But not catching up, he was so unwilling: "Girl, do you come here to sell vegetables every day?"

Song Qiao Song Qiao hurriedly shook his head and said loudly: "Not really, we came to the amusement park, so we sold vegetables by the way."

The vegetable vendors who were guarding the 3.5 yuan a jin baby cabbage and couldn't sell them no matter what, all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that they don't come every day, otherwise they would just tear down their stalls. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
