As the weather favored, it did not rain that afternoon, and there was still no sign of rain in the evening, so Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin set out on time.
When the two brothers pushed the broken tricycle out of the alley, Tongdao Xu raised his eyes and glanced twice in the direction where they set up their stall every day.
The stalls of the long-haired man and Fatty Lu have been set up. Only the stall of the bald man has not yet been set up, but it is already being set up.
After looking at it twice, he looked away and pushed the tricycle towards the small newsstand across the road.
Like a stray goose.
…
At the same time, there was the long-haired man's stall.
Xi Xiaoqian is enthusiastically recommending the grilled eggplant officially launched by their stall today to the two male customers who have just sat down.
"Our grilled eggplant tastes amazing, really! It's very fragrant and delicious. Do you two brothers want to try one? Really! My brother has been researching this grilled eggplant for many days! Moreover,
It’s not expensive either, only one yuan a piece. I guarantee that if you two brothers try it, you won’t regret it..."
Xi Xiaoqian's tongue is very sharp, and her clear voice is not annoying when introducing.
However, the male guest on her left frowned and asked: "Eggplants costing one yuan each are not expensive, right? Why don't you go and grab them?"
The male customer on her right side echoed: "That's right! How much does a pound of eggplant cost at the wet market? Do you think we don't know? One dollar for a roasted eggplant is really too expensive! Don't, don't, don't~!"
Xi Xiaoqian smiled and was not discouraged, "It's really not expensive. If you don't believe it, you two elder brothers can ask around. Others sell it for 1.5 yuan or even 2 yuan a piece..."
As she said that, she subconsciously looked at the place where Xu Tongdao and the others set up their stall every day, and wanted to use them as an example to tell these two customers that the roasted eggplant at that restaurant only cost two yuan a portion.
result……
Turning around, I saw that the spot was still empty.
Xi Xiaoqian frowned slightly and said to herself: Those two guys haven't left the stall yet?
Just as he was about to look away, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushing a cart across the road.
But looking at the direction they were pushing the cart, it was dozens of meters away from where they had recently set up their stall every day.
At that time, Xi Xiaoqian was stunned.
——What's the situation? How can we get lost even at such a distance?
…
Not long after, Xi Xiaoqian wrote down the dishes and beers ordered by the two male customers with a piece of paper, tore off the menu she had just written, came to her brother Xi Dongyang's side, and put the menu on the small table next to Xi Dongyang.
, Xi Xiaoqian whispered: "Brother, look over there! The stalls of those two guys have been changed to the newsstand over there today. The old place where they set up their stalls every day is not here."
Xi Dongyang's face was expressionless as always, indifferent. After hearing this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the newsstand dozens of meters away.
Sure enough, I saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin setting up a stall there, busy moving tables, stools, ovens, etc. from the car.
There was a small newsstand alone there, and no one set up a stall there. It was such a big open space, but those two boys actually set up a stall there tonight.
Seeing this scene, Xi Dongyang frowned and said softly: "This is indeed a bit abnormal. Are you out of your mind? When doing business, you don't get together with others, but stay far away alone. Forget it! Leave them alone! Wait for them.
If you can’t do much business there, you will naturally come back.”
After saying that, Xi Dongyang looked away and continued to bake the things in front of him.
Xi Xiaoqian looked at the newsstand again, chuckled and said, "I must be confused. By the way, it did rain this morning, haha!"
The implication is, of course, that Xu Tongdao and the others' brains were filled with water when it rained in the morning.
It's simply reasonable and convincing.
…
Those who set up stalls like to look around for potential customers.
No, not long after, when Fatty Lu from the stall next to him was looking at both ends of the road, he accidentally saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin who had just set up their stall.
Seeing that these two boys took the initiative to go to that quiet place tonight, Fatty Lu thought he had made a mistake. He blinked subconsciously, looked at it carefully, and then laughed out loud, "Children are just children."
My child! You do things that I can’t understand. Is this because you think your business has been too good recently and you are deliberately hiding from peace? Hiccup..."
Not long after he discovered it, Bald Zhang, who was adjacent to his stall, also noticed the location where Xu Tongdao and his gang were setting up their stall tonight.
Mainly because as time went by, the two boys who had been placed next to his stall every day had not yet appeared, which made him more and more confused.
I was still wondering if one of the two boys was sick or something, and I subconsciously looked around with my eyes. I was still hoping that those two boys would really stop coming out tonight, and it would be best not to come out here in the future.
Spread out.
When he saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin setting up a stall at the newsstand tonight, Bald Zhang felt a sense of surprise that his wishes had come true.
He didn't care what happened to those two boys who went to such a far away place to set up stalls tonight. Anyway, this was something he liked to see.
Uncharacteristically, he didn't make any sarcasm, but he had a cheerful expression on his face, and anyone could tell that he was in a very good mood tonight, very good.
…
Tongdao Xu had just used a wiring board to connect a wire from the newsstand. He and Xu Tonglin worked together to move the display cabinet that was originally leaning against the wall of the newsstand and place it in a conspicuous place next to the sidewalk.
Then, together with Xu Tonglin, he placed the plates of skewered meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, and cold dishes in the display cabinet.
It has been a few days since his stall started selling cold dishes.
At present, there are not many varieties of cold dishes here, mainly salted edamame, five-spice peanuts, pickled pepper chicken feet, cold stewed dried vegetables, and pickled cucumbers.
These cold dishes he sells are not expensive, only fifty cents each.
Of course, the only meat dish among them, pickled pepper chicken feet, costs a little less for 50 cents a serving.
Before everything was put into the display cabinet, Xu Tongdao went to find bricks to support the oven and was going to light the charcoal fire first. He casually told Xu Tonglin to remember to bring a few bottles of beer and put them in the display cabinet later.
Yes!
Starting tonight, his stall will finally sell cold beer.
Just with this, he can probably attract a lot of customers.
After all, the other three barbecue stalls don't have cold beer.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Eating barbecue without cold beer is simply soulless!
…
When they were setting up a stall here, Aunt Wang, the proprietress of the newsstand, walked out curiously and stood aside, eating melon seeds and watching with a smile.
From time to time, I would ask a few questions out of curiosity.
Then……
When Comrade Xu lit a charcoal fire and grilled a pile of mutton skewers on the stove until it was sizzling, oil beads were rising, and the aroma was overflowing, Aunt Wang couldn't help it, subconsciously licked her lips, and went to the oven
He took a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu! Your mutton skewers are so delicious! How do you sell them like this? Give me some skewers! I'll give you money!"
