After Xu Changsheng asked, before Xu Tongdao could answer, he had already opened his mouth and put a few pieces of mutton into his mouth and chewed it. This posture obviously didn't care whether it was roasted rat meat or not.
Comrade Xu swallowed what he said as soon as it reached his lips. He waited with a smile until Xu Changsheng chewed a few chews and swallowed the meat in his mouth, and then asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xu Tonglin also looked at Xu Changsheng with a smile.
Xu Changsheng hummed, and put all the remaining mutton on the bamboo stick into his mouth. While chewing, he smiled and said: "Smellful! Delicious! Enjoyable! But it doesn't look like rat meat! I have eaten rat meat before.
Yes, the meat seems to be a little thinner and more tender than yours. By the way, is yours rat meat? I can't guess wrong, right?"
"Pfft"
Xu Tonglin couldn't help it anymore and laughed.
Comrade Xu chuckled twice, "Be confident! You did guess wrong!"
Xu Changsheng blinked in confusion, chewed a few more mouthfuls, and after quickly swallowing it, asked curiously: "Then what kind of meat is this? Is it so delicious? Did you bake it yourself? Your skills are good! It's amazing!"
"
"It's mutton!"
Xu Tonglin answered for Xu Tonglin with a smile on his face.
"mutton?"
Xu Changsheng was startled, nodded, and said with a slight smile: "So this is the taste of mutton! This is my first time eating it! It's really delicious. Thank you, Xiaodao. If it weren't for you, I would never be able to eat it in my life."
I don’t know when I will be able to eat mutton, it’s really delicious!”
Xu Tonglin: "Of course! Those mutton skewers that Xiaodao grilled just now, you don't know how many people were attracted by the aroma. They were not enough to eat. I didn't even eat a few skewers! The skewers you just ate were still Xiaodao's
I specially reserved it for you, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to eat a bunch at all!”
Comrade Xu saw Xu Changsheng open his mouth, as if he wanted to thank him again, so he said: "Changsheng! Hurry up and wash your clothes! We will wait for you. When you finish washing, we will find a place to have a good chat. I have something serious to say to you."
."
"What's going on? Why don't you tell me first?"
Xu Changsheng's curiosity was aroused.
Xu Tonglin echoed: "That's right! Xiaodao, why don't you tell us first! Don't rattle our appetite."
Tongdao Xu shook his head, "No! Let's wait for Changsheng to finish washing the clothes first! There's no rush!"
"this……"
Xu Tonglin smiled helplessly, turned around and urged Xu Changsheng, "Did you hear that? Why don't you wash up quickly?"
Xu Changsheng looked helpless and nodded, "Okay! Then wait for me for a while, and I'll take the time to wash it!"
…
at the same time.
Ge Xiaotian was talking happily at home about the mutton skewers he had just eaten at Xu Tongdao's house. While talking, he was making gestures with his hands. It felt as if those mutton skewers were grilled by Ge Xiaotian.
"Sister! Don't believe it! It's true, the mutton skewers that Xiaodao grilled just now are delicious. It's really delicious, fragrant and spicy, and there's a taste that I can't describe. Anyway, it's very delicious!
Oh, by the way, Cao Xin also ate it. If you don’t believe it, when you see Cao Xin tomorrow, ask her if it’s particularly delicious! Donggou’s wife and her daughter, Santazi’s wife and her naughty son also ate it.
We’re here. If you don’t believe me, just ask them tomorrow!”
Ge Xiaoyu listened, glanced at Ge Xiaotian, turned around and entered his room.
She was actually not interested in what she had just heard about Xu Tongdao's kebabs. She even felt a little disdainful and felt sorry for Xu Tongdao.
She felt that he had obviously scored 594 points and could go to high school, but he gave up like this and still had the energy to roast some mutton at home. It was simply heartless and shabby.
This man is hopeless!
This was the thought that ran through her mind when she entered the room.
…
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin waited patiently for Xu Changsheng to finish washing a lot of clothes in the bathtub, go to the well to fetch water, clean all the washed clothes, and hang them on the bamboo poles in the yard before asking Xu Changsheng with a smile.
Chang Sheng, "Are you done with your work?"
"Well, it's okay! What do you want to say to us? Why don't you go to my room and say it?"
The room Xu Changsheng was talking about was the kitchen where he usually lived.
Comrade Xu shook his head, "Forget it! Let's go to the foot of the mountain to find a place to talk! It's not convenient to talk at your house."
"Isn't it convenient? What's going on?"
Xu Changsheng became even more curious.
Xu Tonglin curled his lips and said, "Xiaodao, I didn't know until today that you are so good at selling people off. I'm convinced by you! Okay, let's go to the foot of the mountain, right? Let's go now, right?"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "Okay! Let's go then!"
Comrade Xu smiled, "Okay!"
…
So, the three of them went down the mountain one after another and came to the ditch at the foot of the mountain. Comrade Xu said, "Just here!"
This ditch is the one that runs through their Xujia Village. It is upstream and the edges of the ditch are built with stones.
As Xu Tongdao spoke, he sat down on the stone beside the ditch.
Xu Tonglin and Xu Changsheng met and sat down one after another.
"What's going on? Can we talk about it now?" Xu Tonglin couldn't wait any longer.
Xu Changsheng put his elbows on his knees and held his chin in one hand. He looked at Comrade Xu curiously, as if he was listening attentively.
Tongdao Xu looked around and saw no one else. Then he smiled and looked at them and said: "It's not a big deal. It's just the mutton skewers I grilled tonight. You both tasted it. You two are really good."
Do you think it tastes okay?”
Xu Tonglin nodded without hesitation, "Of course! So many people say it's delicious, so is it still false?"
Xu Changsheng also nodded, "Yes! I have never eaten such delicious barbecue before, really!"
Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Tonglin and then at Xu Changsheng, "In this case, let me ask you, are you interested in going to the county with me to do this business?"
Xu Tonglin was surprised, "What kind of business is it? Are you selling mutton skewers?"
Xu Changsheng frowned, "Doing business? Just the three of us? Can the three of us do it? None of the three of us have experience in doing business, right? Besides, where is the capital? Do you have capital? Anyway, I don't have much money.
I left them all to my stepmother."
Comrade Xu nodded, "Yes! We are just selling mutton skewers. What are we afraid of if we have no experience? Let's accumulate while doing it! Besides, we are doing a small business. No matter how much we lose, we won't lose much. What are you afraid of? As for the capital...
...You don’t need to worry about this. I’ve been thinking of ways to save money recently. It’s estimated that in a few days, we will be able to save enough money to sell mutton skewers. I’m asking you now if you are interested in doing it with me? Let’s go and try it out together.
?”
Comrade Xu understands that you should not easily partner with others when doing business.
But even if it was a small business like setting up a stall to sell mutton skewers, it would be difficult for him to handle it alone, and he had some considerations in choosing to invite Xu Tonglin and Xu Changsheng to join him.
Xu Tonglin won't say anything. He saved his life. He believes that with Xu Tonglin's character, Xu Tonglin will remember this life-saving grace in his heart. If Xu Tonglin is willing to set up a stall with him, he believes that Xu Tonglin will be a good person.
partners.
And what about Xu Changsheng?
For Xu Changsheng, whose grandma is not close and whose uncle does not love him, Xu Changsheng should be his best friend, and Xu Changsheng is not bad in nature. As long as Xu Changsheng is willing, Xu Tongdao believes that he will be a good partner.
