Chapter 97 How many bottles of screaming did she drink?
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
In the past few days, the business here in Xu Tongdao has been very good every night. It seems that the diners have made an agreement. As long as they come to this street to eat barbecue, most of them will come to Xu Tongdao's stall.
There is always a queue.
In contrast, the business of Bald Zhang and Fatty Lu's stalls was deteriorating day by day. Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang clearly did not take action against them, but their business continued to be taken away by Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang.
If the business is good, the profits will be good.
For several days in a row, before closing the stall every early morning, Comrade Xu and Xi Dongyang divided the stolen goods... No! It was time to share the money, and they were both very happy.
Because in the past few days after the partnership, both of their incomes have been much higher than before. For example, Tongdao Xu, his income has more than doubled.
He estimated that Xi Dongyang's income should have doubled.
This can be guessed from the heartfelt smiles on the faces of Xi Dongyang and Xi Xiaoqian.
Xu Tonglin was also very happy.
Because the business is good enough, and because they make enough money, a few people work every night. When entertaining diners, the smiles on their faces are much brighter, and the service has been improved to a new level invisibly.
Comrade Xu saw this and knew in his heart that the partnership with Xi Dongyang should be stable. He had thought about it before - if the income after the partnership was not as good as before, Xi Dongyang and Xi Xiaoqian might propose to break up the partnership and start a new partnership.
Everyone does his or her own thing.
This is entirely possible.
After all, everyone sets up stalls to make money. Who wouldn’t care if their income decreases?
Xi Dongyang and Comrade Xu have little friendship.
But now that the income of both parties has increased a lot after the partnership, their cooperation can naturally continue.
However, Bald Zhang and Fatty Lu did not sit still and wait for death.
A few nights later, when Xu Tongdao came to set up a stall, he suddenly heard Xu Tonglin look to the west in surprise and say: "Huh? Look, Xiaodao! Fatty Lu has also bought a display cabinet!"
Upon hearing this, Comrade Xu turned his head and looked towards Fatty Lu, and sure enough he saw a brand new display cabinet not far from Fatty Lu's oven.
It looks like a brand new display cabinet.
At this time, Xi Dongyang and Xi Xiaoqian also saw it. They subconsciously walked to Tongdao Xu. Before Xi Dongyang said anything, Xi Xiaoqian frowned and said: "This... brother, Xiao Xu, what do you think?
Fatty Lu also has a display cabinet now, so he won’t take away a lot of our business in the future, right?”
Comrade Xu heard the sound, glanced at her, and noticed the worry between her eyebrows.
Xi Dongyang said calmly: "I'm afraid some will be taken away. Is there anything you can do?"
Xu Tongdao waited for a few seconds and heard no answer. He felt strange and turned to look at Xi Dongyang. He was surprised to find that Xi Dongyang, Xi Xiaoqian, and Xu Tonglin were all looking at him without blinking. Xu Tongdao.
What's happening here?
Xu Tongdao asked Xi Dongyang doubtfully, "Were you asking me just now?"
Xi Dongyang curled his lips slightly and gave him a look to let him understand.
Xi Xiaoqian laughed and said, "Yes! My brother is just asking you!"
Comrade Xu was a little speechless.
If you ask me a question, why don’t you call me by my name? I didn’t look at you just now. If you talk to me and don’t call me, how will I know who you are talking to?
You don't have the purple, gold and red gourds in "Journey to the West" in your hands. Are you still afraid that I won't dare to answer my name?
Complaining in his heart, Xu Tongdao frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "The problem is not big! It's just a display cabinet. Fatty Lu's barbecue skills are not good. This is a flaw! With this flaw, he can even buy ten display cabinets.
It’s useless if the cabinet is left there!”
After a pause, he said: "Let's do this! We will add two new dishes tomorrow, which should be of some use!"
"Ah? What's the new dish? Is the grilled eggplant delicious?"
Xi Xiaoqian asked with curiosity on her face.
Xi Dongyang and Xu Tonglin also looked at Xu Tongdao curiously.
Tongdao Xu's bad habit of not liking to explain to others happened again. He laughed and said, "You will know tomorrow! Please allow me to keep it secret for the time being!"
Who allowed it?
Xi Xiaoqian rolled her eyes at him in disappointment, twisted her butt and turned around to leave.
Xi Dongyang looked at Comrade Xu, curled his lips and left.
Even Xu Tonglin sighed softly, shook his head, and said: "Xiaodao! When will you change your habit of showing off? Alas!"
With that said, he also left.
…
Early morning.
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin were very tired when they returned from the stall. When they entered the courtyard, Xu Tonglin yawned. It was really too long every day from the rooster's crow to the ghost's crow. The business at night these days has been very slow.
It was very good. Tongdao Xu was a little better. He only had to sit in front of the oven and bake something.
But Xu Tonglin had a much harder time.
He is busy running around every day. Not only is he responsible for serving tea, pouring water, serving dishes and taking away the plates, he also has to work hard to squeeze out a warm smile when a customer calls him, or when a customer pays the bill, which affects his body and spirit.
I'm very tired.
At first glance, he doesn't do any heavy work every day.
But running continuously every day is very tiring in itself.
Salespersons who have stood at the counter and apprentices who have worked in the kitchen should all have a deep understanding of this. After a day of standing or being busy, other places are fine, but first of all, a pair of feet will become sore and swollen.
What makes Xu Tongdao gratified is that although Xu Tonglin complains of being tired every day these days and soaks his feet in hot water every night, Xu Tonglin never backs down and says he wants to go home.
My whole body has lost weight and I don't look as fat as before.
In fact, not only Xu Tonglin is thin, Xu Tongdao himself has also become a lot darker and thinner these days.
Pushing the tricycle into the yard, Xu Tongdao exhaled and said casually to Xu Tonglin: "I'm going to relieve myself and I'll be back soon!"
To relieve one's hands is their local dialect, which means to go to the toilet. To relieve one's small hands is to urinate, and to relieve one's big hands is to poop.
Xu Tonglin hummed, and Xu Tongdao walked with tired legs towards the toilet in the corner of the courtyard. As he walked, he lowered his head and touched a few fingers of his left hand with his right hand.
When grilling skewers tonight, he was not paying attention, and his left hand touched the edge of the oven, which made a sizzling sound, which was no different from the sound of roasting lamb.
He thought at that time - it won't be cooked, right?
This was a trivial matter, and he didn't take it seriously. Who among the chefs has never cut their hands? Hasn't been burned by pots, stoves, or steam?
This is the saying goes that if the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die on the battlefield.
Even veteran chefs who have been cooking for a lifetime will occasionally get injured.
Fortunately, there were no blisters on his burned fingers, but the burned areas were all white and hard, and the skin was burnt to death.
I estimate that in a few days, I will need to change the skin.
Touching the hard pieces of dead skin on his fingers, Comrade Xu could still feel the pain. He couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, and walked into the toilet.
As soon as he walked in, his whole body was frozen there, the expression on his face was also frozen, and his eyes met! He actually met Wei Chunlan's eyes in the toilet.
Wei Chunlan, who was squatting on the latrine, stared at him blankly, her face quickly turning red. Before Xu Tongdao could react, her screams could be heard throughout the yard.
At that moment, Tongdao Xu had a strange thought flashing through his mind: How many bottles of Scream has she drank?
