The leftovers made of leftovers in the restaurant have almost disappeared in the era when Li Zhang lived. It is estimated that most people will not eat this except for a very small number of people. After all, the leftovers of others are very dirty in most people's eyes.

However, the folding basket is dirty, but you have to admit that there are vegetables and meat in it. After heating a variety of leftovers, the flavors are mixed together to form a strange fragrance, which is even more attractive than the original one. Li Zhang also specially chose a place to set up a stall at the upper vent, which makes the fragrance float throughout the wharf.

"It smells so good, this thing is really a spoonful of penny?" Niu Da sniffed his nose and smelled the fragrance coming from the pot. Finally, the first one couldn't help but run over and asked. He was a big eater and had a greedy mouth, but he was too poor usually and rarely ate meat a few times a year. Now he smelled the meat in the pot, and it was so cheap, so he naturally couldn't control it.

"There is no deception. This is the craftsmanship of Yuefenglou in Xijie. Although it is leftovers, it is better because it is cheap. There is meat and vegetables. If you miss this village, you will not have this restaurant!" Douzi had a sharp look. Seeing that someone was interested, he began to introduce it vigorously, and directly pointed out that this was the leftovers in the restaurant. This was Li Zhang's idea, so as not to have disputes on the other party if he didn't know.

The big beef is not stupid either. It has vegetables and meat and is so cheap. When he hears the other party's words, anyone with a little brain will know the origin of these dishes. However, poor people like him don't have so many things to pay attention to. When he encountered a famine at home when he was a child, he asked for food with his parents and snatched things to eat with wild dogs. So in his mind, as long as it is something that can be eaten, there is nothing dirty or not.

"Give me a spoonful!" Niu Da took out a copper coin and patted Douzi's hand. Douzi also shouted happily, "Good~", and then personally served Niu Da a spoonful. Because the other party was their first guest, he added half a spoon in the end.

People have a herd mentality, and the folding basket is so fragrant, at least it is much better than the pickle soup that coolie often drinks. In addition, Niu Da is very delicious with a big bowl of "huff" and eating, which makes others so greedy that they are so hungry that they are rushing up and rushing to pay.

Faced with such a hot scene, Douzi and the others were also in a hurry, but soon they discovered a problem, that is, the bowls they brought were not enough. Li Zhang's family was too poor, and there were not even a few bowls. Finally, they added a dozen orphans to beg for food, but only a dozen, which was not enough. In the end, they had to wait until the people in front finished eating before taking them back.

Originally, Li Zhang prepared water to wash dishes, but he didn't expect that those people didn't care at all. They just took the bowls used by others and continued to use them. But it's not surprising to think about it. After all, who would care about this if you are willing to eat a slicing basket?

A big pot of sack was sold out in just half an hour. Some of the unbuyed coolies were still pestered and refused to leave. Finally, Li Zhang promised to come tomorrow, so he finally got rid of these people. Douzi and the boys were excited to buy thirty big cakes with the money they had just earned, and then packed up their things and pushed Li Zhang and ran home.

"Brother, we have made so much money all at once, so we will never have to worry about being hungry again!" Douzi pushed the car while pulling out a piece from the pancake and stuffing it into his mouth and said vaguely.

Li Zhang was counting money at this time. Douzi and the others didn't know how much they earned. But after counting, he was happy and said, "We earned 64 cents this morning, and a month is more than 1,900 cents, and nearly two cents of income."

"Two jin! How many pancakes do you have to buy? Will we be able to eat pancakes every day in the future?" Douzi said with an ecstatic expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. The other children shouted happily, and even the steps of pushing the cart felt much lighter.

"I have no prospects. From now on, I will let you eat meat every day until you want to vomit!" Li Zhang couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he heard Douzi's words. At the same time, he also weighed the copper coins in his hand. He used the fifteen cents he had just bought the cake and left forty-nine cents. This was their first income and the capital for him to settle down in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The car returned to the charity village. Before Li Zhang got off, Douzi rushed into the yard with the pancake in his arms and shouted: "Li'er, ugly mom, come quickly, we have pancakes!"

As soon as Douzi finished speaking, a cheering sound came from the yard, which made Li Zhang outside the yard show a rare smile. After dividing the cooked cakes, Li Zhang deeply smelled the food smell from the cooked cakes. It was the first time he found that the smell of flour was so sweet. Then he opened his mouth and bit it, his mind was filled with two words: "It smells so fragrant!"

In the next few days, Li Zhang divided the orphans such as Douzi and Chou Niang into two groups. Chou Niang took a few children to work in the restaurant, and Douzi took a few children to sell the discount basket every day. Li Zhang also asked Douzi to contact the shopkeepers and friends of other restaurants and collected leftovers from these restaurants at a very low price. After all, a restaurant alone could not meet the needs of the dock.

People in the Northern Song Dynasty were far less wasteful than those in later generations, especially in terms of food, so there were not many leftovers in restaurants. The better leftovers were eaten by the shop's shop's shop, and they poured them into buckets if they couldn't eat. No one thought of selling these leftovers for money. Now some people are willing to spend money to buy them, so naturally they can't afford them.

As the source of the basket increased, Li Zhang and his friends also increased. In just five days, Li Zhang saved enough money, which made him finally relieved. With this money, he had some capital. Even if he didn't do the basket business, he could rely on this amount of money to do other businesses, at least he would have no problem supporting Li'er and his children.

"Cut some meat, let's have meat today!" Li Zhang felt that a bird was about to fade out of his mouth. Although the cook cakes were very strong and delicious, eating steamed buns was not a big deal. Now that the livelihood problem has been solved, Li Zhang felt that there was a big stone missing in his heart, so he naturally wanted to celebrate.

"Good~, brother, just think about it. I will spend the least amount of money and buy the most meat!" Douzi agreed immediately, then grabbed two handfuls of copper coins and ran out. Several other young followers cheered and went to buy meat. The remaining Li'er and others looked very happy. After all, except for the last time they ate leftovers, they usually rarely eat meat once a year.

Seeing the happy look of these children, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile warmly. Then he called a few children and told them to buy seasonings such as oil, salt, and vinegar. After all, there was nothing at home, so you can't boil meat in white water.

After a while, Douzi and a few children ran back excitedly, but Li Zhang looked at the colorful things in his pocket but couldn't help but say depressedly: "Didn't I ask you to buy meat? Why did you buy so much water?"

"It's cheap. Pork is more than twice as expensive as going into the water. Isn't it also meat?" Douzi said proudly at this time. Although he didn't know how to count, he could still make up the account if he bought more meat with the same money.

Seeing Douzi's proud look, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile helplessly, but it was good to go into the water. As long as he knew how to make it, his internal organs could be made delicious. It just so happened that he was single for many years in his previous life, but he had mastered a good cooking skill.

Li Zhang praised Douzi a few words, and then began to direct Chou Niang and others to deal with the water. Douzi almost bought a whole pair of pig water. The others were easy to deal with. The more troublesome one was the intestines. Some people liked this thing, but some people were reluctant to smell it. Li Zhang belonged to the former type, but it had to be washed clean, otherwise the smell would be too rinsed.

There were too many people, and Li Zhang didn't make any complicated dishes. He cut the pig heart and pig lungs into slices and cooked a pot of pig mixed soup. The large intestine was a bit too much, so he would definitely not finish it in one meal. Li Zhang was worried that it would be broken, so he was all braised in one pot. Even if he couldn't finish it, he could keep it for a few days.

The rice was ready, each person had a bowl of pig soup, a piece of braised large intestine, and a big cabbage. Before Li Zhang could say anything, Douzi and the children were holding big bowls like hungry wolves. Some of them ate too quickly, but they rolled their eyes when they were choked. In the end, Li Zhang hurriedly handed them water, which did not choke the hungry wolves to death.

Li Zhang didn't eat it slowly. He cut the braised large intestine into slices and put it in the cook cake. The fragrant large intestine was paired with the soft and tough cook cake. Then he had a bite of fresh and fragrant pork soup. Li Zhang felt that he was about to fly. After all, as a person who was not happy with meat, he could not see any meat fishy for several days. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him. Now he finally satisfied his cravings.

After dinner, it was almost dark. Chou Niang and Li Er and a few girls were busy washing the pots and washing dishes. Li Zhang and Douzi and others gathered together to chat. The main reason was Douzi and others talking about something they heard on the street. After all, Li Zhang was unable to move. Except for when he went there on the first day when he sold the basket, he stayed at home at other times, so he needed to collect some external information through Douzi and others.

However, Douzi and his team did not have a large range of activities, and they had never left Bianhe Town at the farthest. Most of the things they heard were related to this town. For example, the Ma Qianzhu family of East Street took another concubine, and the two gangs of ruffians on West Street broke their heads because of fighting for territory, etc., which did not have much value. At most, it allowed Li Zhang to understand the surrounding environment more.

"By the way, brother, today I heard others talk about the divine bird on the dock again!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw a boy with a missing front teeth beside Douzi slapped his thigh and said, "This boy's surname is Zhou. Because the front teeth were knocked off, Kaifeng called such a person with no teeth Huozi, so this boy was called Zhou Huozi.
