The old lady had no choice but to agree. Then the old lady turned and asked Tong Xu: "Hey, what are you selling? You see, my eldest grandson insists on eating it."
"Two dollars a piece!"
Xu Tongdao actually wanted to sell it to the grandfather and grandson at a cheaper price, but so many people just bought it for two yuan each. Now those people are still waiting for his grilled eggplant! How can he lower the price here?
In this day and age, a portion of grilled eggplant costs two yuan, and he knows very well that this price is exaggerated.
At such a price, it probably won't last for a few days.
But why is there no one selling this here at the moment? He estimated that no one in the entire county, or even the entire city, sells grilled eggplants, and his selling this should be a unique business.
Since it is a one-man business, of course he wants to earn high profits from his own business before other barbecue stalls imitate it.
"Two yuan? Is it so expensive?"
The old lady was surprised, "What on earth are you baking? Is it so expensive?"
Comrade Xu smiled and said, "It's grilled eggplant! Old lady, this is a new thing that I can't sell anywhere else."
The old lady looked at Comrade Xu suspiciously and sighed, "Forget it, who told my grandson to insist on eating it? Just give us a portion!"
As she said that, the old lady took out two dollars from her trouser pocket and handed it to Xu Tongdao, and then she took her eldest grandson, who was already smiling, to find a seat and sit down.
At this time, Tongdao Xu finally had guests sitting here, achieving a zero breakthrough.
But Xu Tonglin felt bitter when he saw this scene.
He knew that Comrade Xu had just roasted an extra portion of eggplant, and he had hoped that he would be able to taste it later, but now it was over, and it was no longer his share.
I felt depressed, but I still had to put on a smile on my face and pour a glass of boiling water for the old lady.
Xu Tongdao took out portions of the roasted eggplants and asked Xu Tonglin to serve them to the grandfather and grandson. Then he used foam lunch boxes to serve portions of roasted eggplants and asked Xu Tonglin to serve them one by one to those who had paid before.
of those diners.
Before he had finished his work here, an old man and a young man walked out of the ballroom door diagonally opposite. A little old man with gray hair hugged the waist of a slim girl with heavy makeup, walked across the road and walked over here, talking and laughing.
These two people were originally going to the bald stall next door.
The girl with heavy makeup suddenly sniffed her eyes, stopped and asked crisply: "Huh? What smells so good?"
Looking around, they soon saw Xu Tonglin passing in front of them carrying two portions of roasted eggplants, and then they saw Xu Tongdao not far away in front of the oven, loading roasted eggplants into another lunch box.
The woman blinked curiously and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you see grilled over there? It looks delicious. Should we try it?"
The little old man with gray hair, Mr. Wang, also followed her gaze and saw the roasted eggplants served by Xu Tongdao, and his curiosity was aroused.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the bald man immediately put on a smile and asked enthusiastically: "Boss! You two! What do you want to eat? The mutton skewers and kidneys here are the most delicious. Do you want some?"
Mr. Wang waved his hand impatiently, "No! Let's go over there and eat!"
After saying that, he put his arms around the young girl's waist and walked towards Tongdao Xu with a smile, not caring about the bald head whose face had turned ugly.
"Hey! Little boss, what are you baking? Is it delicious?"
Mr. Wang, the little old man, raised his voice and asked before he could even approach Xu Tongdao.
Hearing this, Tongdao Xu looked up at the young and old couple and smiled, "Boss! Be more confident! Remove the word '?'! It's guaranteed to be delicious!"
"Hey... I'm not old, and my tone is not too young. Little boss, what you say is very interesting! Okay! Then I will believe you once, just give us a portion of you, mutton skewers and kidneys, right? Everything.
Give us twenty skewers, is there anything else delicious?"
Xu Tongdao: "Yes! Goat eggs, roasted green peppers, roasted enoki mushrooms, roasted leeks, boss! Beauty! Do you want to try some of everything?"
"What?"
The little old man and the young girl who were about to find a seat stopped in surprise.
Mr. Wang, the little old man: "And roasted green peppers? Roasted leeks? Little boss, your family doesn't sell vegetarian vegetables, right? Do you bring all the vegetarian vegetables that you can't sell here and roast them? Are you kidding me?
?”
Young girl: "That's right! We often eat barbecue, but I've never seen anyone baking these things for sale!"
The smile on Xu Tongdao's face did not change. He used a kitchen knife to cut open another large eggplant and put it on the grill. He asked calmly: "Have you ever seen grilled eggplants like mine before? I can bake eggplants, green peppers and
Why can’t I roast leeks? How about it? Do you two want to try some?”
The little old man and the young girl looked at each other.
Little old man: "Hey! Do you want some?"
The young girl nodded hesitantly, "How about... let's order a few smaller portions and try it first?"
The little old man smiled and turned to ask Xu Tong, "Hey, little boss! How do you sell these roasted green peppers? Are they not expensive?"
"Not expensive! Two cents a bunch!"
Tongdao Xu sells the same roasted vegetables, roasted green peppers, roasted leeks, etc. very cheaply, but he sells the roasted eggplants for two yuan a piece.
It's not that he has a brain attack, but compared to roasted green peppers, roasted leeks, roasted enoki mushrooms, etc., roasted eggplant not only requires more work, but also costs a lot more.
Apart from anything else, the thick layer of garlic and other ingredients covering the grilled eggplant is not cheap.
First of all, a roasted eggplant requires a lot of minced garlic, as well as onion dices, green and red pepper dices, chopped green onions, etc. The key is that these things must be cooked in soybean oil in advance.
And garlic and soybean oil...are not cheap.
Especially soybean oil.
A lot of soybean oil is used to cook the minced garlic.
In addition, the grilled eggplant is both beautiful and delicious, so it can be used as one of his signature dishes. Now that it is a separate business, he would feel a loss if he didn't sell it more expensively.
"Okay, then give us two skewers of each of the items you just mentioned! If it's really delicious, we'll add more!"
The little old man made a decision.
Comrade Xu said: "Okay! Wait a moment, you two! Lin Zi! Serve tea to you two quickly!"
When the second table of guests arrived, Xu Tongdao had a lot more smiles on his face, and Xu Tonglin also had a smile on his face, and he served tea to the two people enthusiastically.
"Grandma! Grandma, it's delicious! It's so delicious! Grandma, you can't eat it! Mine! It's all mine..."
At this time, the grandfather and grandson just now, and the little boy finally tasted his first bite of roasted eggplant. Just now, because the roasted eggplant was too hot, his grandma kept blowing it to cool him down. As a result... his grandma just fed him a bite.
, when the old lady was about to take a bite, the little boy became anxious and quickly pushed his grandma's hands away. After pushing her hands away, the little boy stretched out his hands to protect the grilled eggplant ring in front of him.
