Although he was moved in his heart, he didn't have time to personally greet Uncle Li and the others now. It was the time he could barely spare to welcome them into the store in person.
After inviting Uncle Li and others to sit down, Xu Tongdao quickly waved to Xu Tonglin at the bar and asked Xu Tonglin to come over and greet Uncle Li and others.
As for Comrade Xu himself, he quickly returned to the oven, which was one of his workplaces.
Why is it said to be one?
listen!
A few minutes later, Xu Tonglin in the store suddenly shouted: "Xiaodao! Xiaodao! Quickly make two bowls of mutton soup, a customer ordered mutton soup!"
"Hey! Good!"
Tongdao Xu quickly agreed and glanced at his cousin Ge Lianghua, who was following him as an apprentice. Ge Lianghua, who was following him as an apprentice, quickly stepped forward and took the skewers from Tongdao Xu’s hand. Ge Lianghua had not yet mastered the barbecue skills and was far from truly becoming a master.
Still early.
But it's okay to temporarily help Mr. Xu grill it for a few minutes. Anyway, he doesn't need to sprinkle salt, cumin powder and chili powder on the skewers.
Handing all the skewers in his hand to Ge Lianghua, Comrade Xu quickly trotted into the store, went to the kitchen, and took the time to make two bowls of mutton soup.
In fact, it means that he is too particular.
If he lowers his standards a little and the customer orders mutton soup, he can just ask Xu Tonglin to get the bowl directly, scoop out two bowls from the big soup bucket, and sprinkle some white pepper and coriander powder on it.
It's great, just chop some haggis and minced lamb and add it to the bowl.
But he just wasn't willing to lower his standards.
Be sure to sauté a few slices of green onion with oil, then ladle the mutton soup into the wok and bring to a boil before you are satisfied.
Because the mutton soup made in this way will be more fragrant.
He neither dared nor wanted to fool customers.
Because he always believes in a truth: if you fool customers, you will definitely lose them in the end.
If you cut corners, you will end up hurting yourself.
…
It's not yet dark, and there are seven or eight tables of customers sitting on the 12 tables in Xu Tongdao's shop. Looking in from the outside of the shop, the shop is crowded, and the business is very prosperous, which is eye-catching.
Just like Fatty Lu and his wife and Bald Zhang who are setting up a stall across the road right now.
In fact, these two days have been very fruitful for both of them. For many days in a row, both of their stalls have been doing endless business.
That feeling is really satisfying.
Because Xu Tongdao has not been out of the stall for many days. Even Xi Dongyang, which had a good business before, was hospitalized due to serious injuries and has not been out of the stall in recent days.
Suddenly there are two strong competitors missing, but the passenger flow of this street is still so large every night, and there are still so many people who want to eat barbecue.
These diners suddenly lost two better choices, so they could only choose the two stalls, Fatty Lu and Bald Zhang.
This made Fatty Lu and his wife and Bald Zhang happy.
For many nights in a row, the three of them were so busy that they had no time to put their feet on the ground, but the smiles on their faces were brighter than ever.
Why?
Because of money!
Business suddenly boomed, and the busier they were, the more money they made.
They definitely hope that such days can last for ten thousand years.
but……
The opening time of Xu Tongdao's two stores was much earlier than the two of them expected.
They originally thought that it would take more than half a month or even longer for the two stores to be renovated and officially opened. In this case, their business could continue to be prosperous for a longer period of time.
Maybe, when those who like to eat barbecue get used to eating barbecue at their two stalls, they will really form a habit in the future.
In that case, when Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant opens, the business will be average, and the popularity may not be the same as before when he set up a stall.
You know, there has never been a barbecue restaurant on this street before.
Everyone who wants to eat barbecue eats from roadside stalls.
Can……
The renovation of Xu Tongdao's store was much faster than they expected, and it was completed in just a few weeks.
It actually opened tonight.
Moreover, the most irritating thing is that as soon as it opened tonight, that guy's shop kept getting customers, and one after another, customers turned into that guy's shop to spend money.
It's not dark yet! That guy's barbecue restaurant is almost full.
Is it annoying?
Fatty Lu stood in front of his oven, grilling mutton skewers, with his eyelids drooped. He raised his eyelids from time to time and looked at the newly opened barbecue restaurant opposite Tongdao Xu.
Seeing that the boy's shop was almost full, Fatty Lu's face grew longer and longer, because there was currently only one table of customers at the stall behind him, or to be precise, one customer.
The dishes ordered were few, not enough for Fatty Lu to warm up.
…
In comparison, the bald Zhang in the next stall is even more miserable.
His stall was next to Fatty Lu's stall, but he wanted to curse a few words now - he cursed the next door guy.
Fatty Lu finally got a guest there, where is his bald Zhang?
So far, there hasn't been a single customer. At least Fatty Lu can still bake something. He, the bald man, could only bake himself... He lit a cigarette... to bake himself.
Bald Zhang was sitting in front of the oven, looking at Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant across the road. He just looked at it quietly, like a man who had been cheated on in love.
The way he looked at Xu Tongdao BBQ Restaurant at this moment was like looking at a woman with whom he had a deep affection yesterday, who turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man in front of him tonight.
He recognized that the three grown men who had just walked into Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant had eaten at Bald Zhang's stall last night.
Before leaving, one of the men even praised Bald Zhang’s baked goods as delicious!
"Grass tramples horse!"
As he watched, Bald Zhang couldn't help but curse.
It's really annoying.
I thought that if that guy stopped setting up a stall and opened a barbecue restaurant, maybe no one would go to eat. Even if there were still people going to eat, it would take at least a month or two to slowly build up the popularity.
He never dreamed that business would be so good on the first night of business.
Bald Zhang Bai was puzzled and couldn't figure it out at all.
Across the road, there was an easterly breeze tonight, and the stall he and Fatty Lu and his wife were on happened to be on the upper side of Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant, so neither he nor Fatty Lu and his wife could smell the mutton wafting out of Xu Tongdao's restaurant.
The aroma of soup.
Can't smell it at all.
But every passerby who passes by Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant can smell the... tempting aroma of mutton soup wafting out of the store.
After all, there are only a few people who are not greedy.
How many of the pedestrians who come to this street are not greedy?
As the old saying goes: The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.
Why not afraid?
Isn't it because of the aroma of wine that people outside the alley smelled it and couldn't resist the strong aroma of wine?
Xu Tongdao's place does not have such a strong aroma of wine, but the strong, fragrant and mouth-watering aroma of mutton soup has the same effect.
…
When the lanterns first come on.
On the east side of Binjiang Road, a group of people were walking towards the red light street.
Walking in the front was Xu Tongdao's eldest cousin Wu Jing. Behind her were Ge Xiaozhu, Xu Tonglu, Ge Yuzhu, and Xu Tonglin's parents.
They are walking towards the red light street.
Wu Jing said as she walked: "Auntie, don't worry! Their barbecue restaurant in Xiaodao is indeed opening today. I can't be wrong. I asked about Rooster a few days ago! By the way, their barbecue restaurant is right in front.
, we can see it soon."
Xu Tongdao probably never dreamed that his mother, brother, sister, and Xu Tonglin's parents would come over tonight.
At this time, Comrade Xu was still busy and confused!
