This is the third day that Xu Tongdao came to the county to set up a stall. He has two more folding tables tonight, but they are not all set up yet. He specially prepared them because he was afraid that his cousin and the others would bring them there.
There are too many for him to sit here.
The matter of setting up the tables and stools was left to Xu Tonglin. Xu Tongdao went to the riverside to look for bricks because the bricks he used to set up the oven last night were missing again.
No need to ask, it was probably the bald guy who threw it.
Tongdao Xu had no worries about this, because it was expected, so he was not surprised.
Find bricks, set up the oven, light a fire and burn charcoal, and start grilling the first batch of mutton skewers tonight...
Everything is orderly and unhurried.
There was nothing strange about the expression on his face, he was as calm and indifferent as ever.
He looks like a good, well-behaved child.
As night went on, the three stalls on his left, including the bald stall, began to receive customers one after another. There was still not a single diner on Tongdao Xu's side, which was similar to the start of the previous two nights.
Comrade Xu was used to this kind of situation. Not only him, but also Xu Tonglin was not as anxious as he was two nights ago. Seeing that there were still no guests, the idle Xu Tonglin put down the rag in his hand, came to Xu Tonglin's side, and pulled it casually
He came to sit on a small plastic stool and chuckled twice. After catching Comrade Xu's attention, he said softly: "Hey! Xiaodao, you can bake an eggplant! While there are no guests yet, you can bake an eggplant and we will
Want to try them all? You said it’s the third day since we set up the stall. I wanted to eat the grilled eggplant once, but I never got it. Let me tell you, I wanted to take a bite on the first night. Hehe,
Do you think it’s okay?”
Comrade Xu had a calm expression at first, but as he listened, a smile appeared on his lips.
He raised his hand and patted Xu Tonglin's shoulder, "Okay! Wait!"
After saying that, Comrade Xu reached out and took out a large eggplant from the basket, cut it in half with a kitchen knife, placed it on the grill in front of him and started roasting it.
Then he glanced at Xu Tonglin beside him, and saw that Xu Tonglin's face was already full of a happy smile.
It seems that the child has been ravenous in the past two days.
"Hey, Xiaodao, how about we open a bottle of beer when we eat eggplant later? What do you think? I see those people eating two mouthfuls and drinking a sip of beer when eating barbecue, they seem very happy...
"
Comrade Xu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
After all, he was his brother, and Xu Tonglin followed him out to make a living. Xu Tongdao was still willing to fulfill his small wish.
only……
Seeing that the eggplant has roasted and the aroma is getting stronger and stronger, Xu Tonglin, who has been standing by the side, couldn't help but swallowed several times. Seeing that the grilled eggplant was about to be baked and almost ready to eat,
A fat middle-aged man with a big belly, walking in figure eight steps, led a long-legged beauty with a slender waist over and stopped in front of their stall.
"Well, Bingbing, let me tell you, the very delicious stall I told you is right here. I ate here once the night before yesterday. Haha, I still have endless aftertaste!"
The middle-aged fat man turned around and smiled and said this to the beautiful woman next to him. He looked away and said to Comrade Xu: "Little boss! I'm here to take care of your business again. Well... I'll give you all the food you have on the stove."
Let’s serve it to the table! Let’s order the others later! Bring these on the stove first and let us eat first!”
After saying that, without waiting for Comrade Xu's reply, he walked to find a seat and sat down. The long-legged beauty followed behind him with a smile.
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Xu Tonglin: "..."
Xu Tongdao turned to look at Xu Tonglin, and saw Xu Tonglin's miserable expression that was about to cry without tears. This expression made Xu Tongdao feel a little unbearable.
So, he whispered: "Linzi, take these mutton skewers over and feed them to them first. Don't mention the eggplant. I'll bake one for them later. I'll give you the one on the stove, okay?"
Xu Tonglin turned his head to look at the man and woman who had already sat down behind him with a grimace, then looked back at the roasted eggplant on the stove in front of him, swallowed, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "Forget it! When are we going to do that?
They can all be eaten. Since the guests want to eat, let’s feed them first! It’s important for us to make money! Hurry up and put these things on a tray for me, and I’ll bring them over.”
Xu Tongdao frowned, but what Xu Tonglin said made sense. Moreover, they only had two guests here now. If there was no second table of guests coming soon, he would still have time to bake another one for Xu Tonglin.
With this thought in mind, Tongdao Xu did not argue. He hummed, put all the baked goods on the stove in a stainless steel tray, and asked Xu Tonglin to carry them to the guests.
As soon as these things were taken away, Comrade Xu immediately cut open a large eggplant and placed it on the oven.
It won't take long to bake.
He promised Xu Tonglin, and he didn't want to break his promise.
result……
When the big eggplant was halfway roasting, two more tables of customers suddenly arrived. One of them was just a man in his thirties, and the other table had a little more people, five young people in their early twenties, all dressed up.
Very flamboyant, jeans, elastic vest, long hair, tattoos...
Comrade Xu glanced at these five people and knew that these young people were probably not taking the usual path.
The man who came alone didn't order much. He only ordered some mutton skewers, a roasted kidney, and two bottles of beer.
But those five young people ordered a lot of things. Lamb skewers cost 50 skewers per mouthful, grilled chicken wings also cost 50 skewers, roasted kidneys, lamb eggs, grilled eggplants... They ordered seven or eight items in one go, and each item was not 50 skewers.
The skewers are 30 skewers, and even the grilled eggplant is 30 servings.
Let alone Xu Tongdao who set up the stall two days ago, he has never seen anyone ordering food like this. Even if he lived for nearly forty years in his previous life, he has never seen anyone ordering food like this when eating barbecue.
Not to mention ordering so many things in one go, whether these five young people can finish the meal depends on their dress and temperament... Comrade Xu also seriously doubted whether they had the money to pay the bill.
"Ah? Do you really want to order so many things? 50 portions of grilled eggplant? You can't finish it, can you?" Xu Tonglin confirmed to them with surprise and joy.
This kid thought this was a big customer!
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't care if we can finish the meal? It's none of your business! Hurry up! Everything we want will be baked and served to us! What? Are you afraid that we can't pay or what?
You look down on our brothers?"
The long-haired man among the five people slammed the table, pointed at Xu Tonglin and scolded him with an angry look.
Xu Tonglin paused for a moment, his face turned red after being scolded, and he subconsciously looked at Xu Tongdao.
Comrade Xu was already squinting at the bald Zhang at the stall next to him.
He believed that it was extremely unlikely that these five people came spontaneously, and most likely it was Bald Zhang who came to him to cause trouble.
This is not only to cause trouble, but also to eat a large amount of his barbecue here for free!
This method is very low-level!
But it is very effective, and it is difficult for serious businessmen to deal with it.
