After agreeing to support the business, Ge Liangcai suddenly asked out of curiosity how Comrade Xu came up with the idea of setting up a stall in the county town? How did Comrade Xu know how to cook barbecue? Is the barbecue delicious? Wait.
When Ge Liangcai asked these questions, Ge Lianghua's curiosity was also aroused, and he also asked a few curious questions.
Xu Tongdao explained it lightly, saying that he was forced by life and was forced to do so.
When it comes to his barbecue skills, his explanation is even more false - "I think barbecue is quite simple! Didn't you roast chervil in the fire pit when you were a kid? It's just roasted, so you can adjust the flavor with some seasonings.
That’s it?”
Chervil is their local name for potato.
His explanation made Ge Liangcai, who was drinking tea from a cup, choke and spit out the tea from his nostrils. Ge Lianghua also had a black line on his face, couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head repeatedly.
At this time, they should have no expectations for what they will eat at Xu Tongdao's barbecue stall tonight.
But they both truly believed Xu Tongdao's explanation.
Because this is the only reasonable explanation!
Otherwise, how can we explain that Xu Tongdao is only 17 years old and has just graduated from junior high school, but he knows serious barbecue skills? When and where did he learn it?
…
After saying goodbye to his two cousins, Xu Tongdao went straight back to the small courtyard where he rented, and prepared the ingredients for tonight with Xu Tonglin.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the ingredients were almost ready. Xu Tongdao thought about it, said hello to Xu Tonglin, and then rode a tricycle to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients.
Because he estimated that... if his two cousins brought people to eat tonight, the ingredients he prepared this morning would not be enough.
He couldn't predict how many people Ge Liang could bring to support him.
But Ge Lianghua knew a lot of people and liked to make friends everywhere. He estimated that Ge Lianghua could bring at least a dozen people tonight.
They should all be young people about the same age as Ge Lianghua, and it is difficult for them to fill their bellies.
In order to make it easier for them to fill their stomachs, Xu Tongdao thought for a while and bought a dozen large steamed buns, which he planned to bake in the evening and feed to those people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford all the mutton skewers.
Yes!
Although his two cousins both said that they would pay for everything they came to eat tonight, Tongdao Xu decided that he would pay for everything they came to eat tonight.
After all, this time he asked them to bring people over to help support the venue. If you ask people to help, you can't ask people to bring their own dry food, right?
Is there such a truth in the world?
After buying a dozen large steamed buns, Xu Tongdao thought about it and bought a bottle of honey, because he had heard that when baking steamed buns, applying some honey would make them fragrant and sweet.
He prepared these steamed buns to save some cost on ingredients, but he still didn't intend to compromise on the taste.
After all, the reason for saving costs is because he is still poor and really doesn't have much money. But if he also cuts corners on taste, then it is a matter of character.
Xu Tongdao came back after buying the ingredients. Xu Tonglin saw it and was very confused, "Xiaodao, didn't we buy enough vegetables this morning? I think it's enough! It's more than yesterday. Why did you come back to buy so many vegetables?
?Eh? There are also steamed buns? Is this our dinner and midnight snack today? There are so many, we can't finish them! Save some for tomorrow, they might go rancid."
"We have guests tonight. There are many guests, so we need to prepare more dishes!"
Xu Tongdao explained with a smile.
"Guest? Who is it? Do we still know anyone in this county? Hmm? They can't be your relatives in the county, right?"
"Um."
"Who is it?"
"My cousin and the others!"
"Cousin?" Xu Tonglin squinted and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked expectantly: "Do you have that rooster cousin of yours?"
"Rooster" Ge Lianghua also comes to Xu Tongdao's house to pay New Year's greetings every year, so Xu Tonglin has also met and known him.
After all, Ge Lianghua looked so much like Comrade Xu, with dark skin and a loud voice. It was difficult for him not to be noticed every time he came to Xujia Village.
Comrade Xu hummed again.
Then Xu Tonglin's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Great! That's right! Xiaodao, I'm not telling you, we should have gone to find your cousin's cock a long time ago. He's that big guy and that black one."
Skin, just go to our stall and say he is your cousin, will the guys in the stalls next to us still dare to bully us? Do you think so?"
Xu Tonglin had never seen Ge Lianghua fight with anyone, but he had seen Ge Lianghua arm-wrestling with several people in their village who were famous for their strength in Xujia Village.
That was two or three years ago. At that time, Xu Tonglin witnessed with his own eyes how Ge Lianghua defeated several ruthless people in their Xujia Village one by one.
Therefore, when he heard that Ge Lianghua would come to their stall tonight, he immediately became excited.
I feel safe tonight.
…
The sun sets in the west.
At about the same time as the previous two days, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushed the old tricycle and left the small courtyard and walked through the alleys and streets to set up stalls.
Before they even crossed the road, they saw that on the other side of the road... Bald Zhang's stall had been set up. Not only was it set up, it was also placed in the same position they had set up last night.
This made both Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin frown slightly.
I feel that Bald Zhang is a bit arrogant, always changing places and placing his stall wherever he wants.
The place where they set up their stall the night before yesterday was occupied by Bald Zhang last night. They could only go to the place where Bald Zhang used to set up his stall, and tonight, Bald Zhang took over the place where they set up their stall last night.
Occupied.
But if they want to accuse Bald Zhang of this, it seems difficult for them to hold their ground.
Because the location where Bald Zhang is setting up his stall tonight has always been Bald Zhang’s place before.
Xu Tonglin looked at Xu Tongdao and whispered: "Xiaodao, fortunately your cousin and the others are coming tonight. I feel that the bald head may take revenge on us tonight..."
Comrade Xu smiled lightly, "Be more confident! Remove the word 'I'm afraid'!"
Xu Tonglin was stunned for a moment before reacting, and asked in surprise: "You mean he will definitely attack us tonight?"
“Haven’t you ever heard the saying ‘it’s obvious that lice are on a bald man’s head’?”
Xu Tongdao asked with a sneer.
Xu Tonglin was startled again, even more surprised, "Xiaodao, you mean that bald head... is equivalent to bald man?"
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Xu Tongdao really didn't think that far just now. He didn't expect Xu Tonglin's brain circuit to be so strange. When he was studying in the past, he didn't see how smart his brain was. He didn't expect that after graduation, his brain became more flexible.
…
While talking, the two pushed the cart across the road and started setting up a stall at the same location where they set up the stall the first night.
When parking the car, Tongdao Xu noticed that Bald Zhang smiled coldly at him, with a mocking look in his eyes.
Moreover, he spat heavily on his side again, with a strong provocative taste.
