Spicy Barbecue
"Dad, hurry up and order. This is so delicious. I'm almost finished!" Zhang Jiankang urged anxiously when he saw that his father was just chatting with others and not ordering. Seeing that the meat skewers were bottoming out, Zhang Jiankang couldn't help but urge.
"You kid just knows how to eat!" Zhang Quan ordered according to his and his children's preferences.
"Okay kid."
"Uncle and brother, do you want to try the Malatang made by my mother? It's a soup made with fresh big bones and old hens!" Yao Feng remembered what Yao Yilin said before setting up the stall that he would sell out all the dishes within three days of opening.
The Mala Tang cost Yao Feng five cents, he quickly said.
"Spicy hotpot?" Zhang Quan asked in surprise.
"Dad, I want to eat!" Zhang Jianjian swallowed the last bite of meat in his mouth and shouted impatiently.
"Uncle, you can take your brother with you to see it."
Zhang Quan and his son followed Yao Feng to the place where the dishes were placed. They saw boxes of cleanly washed dishes arranged neatly, red, green, yellow, white...
"Is it cooked here?" Zhang Quan pointed to the big iron pot that was always steaming.
"Well, what do you think you want to eat?" Li Mei stirred the bottom of the pot, letting the chicken, pork and bones stewed on the bottom of the pot float up, so that Zhang Quan on the opposite side could see clearly.
"That's it! Add a fried egg by the way." Zhang Quan took seven or eight kinds of vegetables and a dozen pieces of beef and chicken skewered with iron.
“Can I order you noodles or vermicelli?”
"Noodle."
When Zhang Quan and his son returned to their seats, Yao Yi walked over carrying the grilled skewers.
"Please use it slowly."
"It's delicious." Zhang Jiankang felt the overbearing fragrance reaching his nose, and his saliva could not help but secrete in his mouth. He immediately took a bunch of pork skewers and put them into his mouth and chewed them quickly.
Zhang Quan saw that his son was eating deliciously, and his appetite was aroused. He picked up a bunch and started to stroke it.
"Is it delicious?" Someone asked curiously when they saw that Zhang Quan and his son were enjoying the food.
"Is it delicious?"
"Hey, don't bury yourself in eating, tell me how it tastes?"
...Some people really couldn't stand the overbearing aroma of barbecue, so they didn't wait for Zhang Quan's answer and found a table to sit down and called Yao Feng to get the menu.
"It's delicious, why isn't it delicious?" Zhang Quan said slowly after grabbing the last skewer.
"You didn't tell me it was delicious!" Some people complained when they saw that seven or eight tables had already been ordered.
"How delicious is it?"
"It's not a drag, right?" Some people believe it, others are naturally doubtful, and some people still don't believe it. They want to see other people's reactions. If it's really delicious, it won't be too late to order it.
"Here comes Malatang, be careful!" Li Mei gently placed a large bowl of Malatang on the table.
"Uncle, this empty bowl is for you to share with your brother." Yao Feng followed behind Li Mei and took out an empty bowl.
"Thank you, kid!" Zhang Quan took the empty bowl, picked up half a bowl of Malatang and handed it to Zhang Jiankang, whose mouth was full of oil. Then he lowered his head and started to eat.
"Hey, buddy, is this delicious?" After Zhang Quan finished his last mouthful of soup, the man sitting behind him eating skewers asked curiously.
"It's delicious! The dishes are fresh and the soup is even more delicious. The key is that you can also eat chicken or pork in one mouthful of soup!" Because of his love for Yao Feng, Zhang Quan didn't mind advertising for them.
"Really? Then I'll get a portion too!" You know, although there is no restriction on the purchase of meat now, not everyone is willing to eat it. But as long as you order some spicy hotpot today, you can eat delicious food and enjoy the food.
Drink the soup with shredded pork.
Some of the onlookers couldn't help but feel excited after listening to Zhang Quan's words. You must know that a bowl of smooth noodles now costs 20 cents, and if you add some dishes, it costs 30 cents, let alone the ones with shredded pork. But this Malatang is not
The same thing, although the price is a bit more expensive than the usual breakfast stalls, it has meat soup and shredded pork in it. Suddenly, the business of Li Mei’s Malatang stall was better than that of Yao Yi’s skewers.
A lot.
When Yao Jianguo closed the stall, he saw seven or eight people surrounding Li Mei's stall, and three or four people surrounding Yao Yi's stall. The chairs prepared for guests to eat were already full. There were ten people on the table.
Get an empty bowl and a few small piles of iron drills.
"Dad, you are here, clear the table quickly." Li Mei was dealing with the customers' questions while looking anxiously in the direction of her home. When she saw Yao Jianguo appearing, she immediately shouted loudly.
Although Yao Jianguo didn't expect the business to be so booming, he immediately picked up the rag after hearing Li Mei's shouting, and quickly stepped forward to clear away everything on the table so that the next customer could eat.
Yao Jianguo spent his time washing dishes and skewering vegetables. As the dishes placed on the stall became less and less, until finally there were only a few cilantro left on the stall, and those customers who had not eaten were disappointed.
leave.
After packing up all their things and placing them at the door of their home, Yao Yi and Li Mei, mother and daughter, immediately opened the bags hanging on their waists, smoothed out the wrinkled banknotes one by one, and counted today's income.
"Today, after excluding costs, the barbecue earned 56 yuan and 80 cents, and my mother's spicy hotpot earned 68 yuan and 30 cents. That is, a total of 125 yuan and 10 cents was earned!" Yao Yi's skewers did not.
Buy them all, but the price is expensive and the profit will be much higher, while the profit of Malatang will be much smaller.
"I made more than 100 yuan in one night, which is too much!" Thinking about half a month's money, he and his wife only made about 30 yuan after working all morning. Yao Jianguo felt a little unbelievable.
Marvel.
"That's because we have just started making these things. We have never seen them in Nanshi before and everyone is trying to be fresh. I guess after a few days everyone has tasted the business and the business will be worse than it is now." Yao Yi analyzed rationally.
.
"This is inevitable, but it doesn't matter. If I can earn more than a hundred for five or six days, I will be satisfied." Yao Jianguo is optimistic.
"Then let's work together and make some money while there's a lot of business these two days."
"Dad, why don't you just drag back all the vegetables that were not sold in the morning when you come back at noon these days, and save them for making spicy hotpot and barbecue at night." Yao Yi thought for a while and said.
"Yeah, okay." Yao Jianguo agreed as soon as he thought it was feasible.
Early the next morning, the family of four divided into three groups and got busy. The busy time always goes very quickly. Since business was good yesterday and Yao Jianguo didn't go shopping in the afternoon, the family of four discussed it and decided to do it after four o'clock.
Pushing things towards the city center.
"Oh! Boss, you came so early! The sun hasn't set yet!" Tang Qi, who set up a stall next to Yao Yi's house yesterday to draw candy figures, greeted with a smile on his face.
"There is nothing going on at home today, so we just wanted to come over early." Yao Jianguo handed over a cigarette and said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, your business was so good yesterday, you should come here early today!" Yesterday, Yao Yi's business attracted many people, and even Tang Qi, who was drawing candy figures next to him, also got a lot of glory, so today
He also came out early to set up a stall, thinking that he would benefit from Yao Yi's stall today.
Yao Jianguo exchanged a few words with Tang Qi, and then quickly set up the table and stools. As expected, the aroma of barbecue was overwhelming. Yao Yicai grilled the meat until it was half-cooked and sprinkled spices on it. The aroma spread far away.
"Tsk tsk...it smells so good! Oh, can you smell it?" Jiangdong stopped the basketball he was playing and exclaimed exaggeratedly while twitching his nose.
"Yes, it smells good. Why haven't I smelled this before?" Jiangxi next to him agreed.
"It's quite fragrant."
"Let's go, stop guessing, we'll find out after we take a look."
"Hey, Brother Wen, please stop standing here and let's go take a look together." Seeing someone suggesting that they look for the source of the scent, Jiang Dong immediately pulled Han Wen, who was standing aside to rest, and urged him.
"Don't pull me away." Han Wen knew what this was. After all, he had been to a barbecue restaurant owned by xj when he was in the capital, but he didn't particularly like mutton, so a group of people in Jiangdong asked for it with great interest.
When he went over to take a look, he just stayed there and rested without much interest.
A few boys walked shoulder to shoulder looking for the aroma. From a distance, they saw Yao Yi skillfully turning the meat skewers over and brushing them with oil, then turning them over and brushing them with oil and sprinkling them with spices.
"Classmate Yao Yi, is this your stall?" Jiang Nian, who came with Jiang Dong, walked quickly to the stall and asked in surprise.
"Who are you?" Yao Yi frowned and recalled everything in his mind, but there was no memory of this boy.
"Oh, Jiang Nian from Class 4, I saw you down there when the student representative received the award." Jiang Nian shook his head and laughed.
"Oh, hello classmate Jiang Nian, do you want something to eat?"
"Is there a menu?"
"I'll ask my brother to bring some to you." Yao Yi asked Yao Feng who was beside him to lead a group of seven or eight boys to find a table and sit down.
"Do you know this girl?" After Yao Feng left with the menu he ordered, Jiang Dong walked over curiously and asked.
"Her name is Yao Yi, the school committee member of Class 1, and her grades are particularly good..." Jiang Nian told what he knew.
Yao Yi, it turns out her name is Yao Yi! Han Wen glanced at Yao Yi, whose face was flushed by the fire, and slowly chewed on these two words in his heart.
"Mala Tang? Come on, kids, take your brothers over to have a look." Jiang Dong said quickly when he heard Yao Feng selling Mala Tang.
"Brother Wen, hurry up and take a look!" Jiang Dong always felt that Han Wen was strange, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Just light it for me." Han Wen didn't want to move. He sat on the stool and did not get up.
"Okay."
"So this is Malatang, I want..." Jiang Dong took a look and found that this Malatang was somewhat similar to hot pot. After asking how to order, he immediately took a small box and ordered some of his favorite food.
When the boys were ordering, Yao Yi had already placed the grilled skewers on the table. Han Wen looked at the barbecue that was different from what he had eaten before, casually picked up a meat skewer and put it to his mouth to chew.
Well, the pork skewers are charred on the outside but still retain the juice of the pork on the inside. The craftsmanship is so good that no wonder they set up a breakfast stall in the morning, Han Wen commented in his heart.
"Brother Wen, is it delicious?" When Jiangdong and others came back after ordering the food, they saw a dozen iron drills placed in front of Han Wen.
"It tastes pretty good." Han Wen continued to pick up an iron drill.
"Brothers, hurry up. If you can get a good review from Brother Wen, it will definitely be delicious."
"Hurry up, Jiangdong, why is your grandson eating it in your mouth and still holding it in your hand?"
"Alas, you are still talking about Jiangdong. You are not a good person either."
"..."
Several boys were fighting over each other and quickly finished the skewers on the plate. At this time, Yao Jianguo came over with a steaming Malatang.
"Boss, what do you use to make this soup so delicious?" Jiang Dong took a sip of the soup and asked curiously.
"It uses pork bones and chicken soup." Yao Jianguo said cheerfully.
"No way, the soup my mother makes at home isn't that fresh?" Jiang Dong didn't believe it.
"Okay, hurry up and eat. If you get robbed later, don't blame me for not warning you." Han Wen also felt that Yao Jianguo didn't tell the truth, but it was normal for people in business not to tell you their secrets. He liked this family of four very much.
