After all this busy work, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Mai gave each of the three aunts a five-dollar holiday red envelope and asked them to get off work first, while Xiaoli stayed and continued to work overtime to prepare the barbecue.
Xiaoli saw that the amount of the holiday red envelopes Lin Mai gave to the three aunts was not small. She knew that when the work was done in the evening, the holiday red envelopes Lin Mai gave her would be even bigger, so she continued to work overtime with peace of mind.
Today is Labor Day, so Lin Mai made a special extra meal and made braised pork ribs. Several people ate dinner in a hurry and then continued working.
Lin Mai took Xiaoli and Zhou Caiyun to place two barbecue grills at the entrance of the store.
If there was no charcoal for barbecue, Linmai used coke instead.
Coke has two advantages: first, there is no smoke after burning; second, it is burned.
One disadvantage is that the fire is too high and the food can be easily burnt, which requires the barbecue griller to have extensive experience.
Linmai has no shortage of experience, so he dares to use coke instead of plate charcoal.
The snack bar at Aunt Hu's house next door also benefited from the economic benefits of the festival, and business is also good today.
At this time, the day's business had ended, and the whole family was sitting at the door eating dinner, looking at the busy work of Lin and Mai with full of ridicule.
It's almost six o'clock in the evening, the shopping malls are all ready for shopping, there are not many people shopping, and they are still doing shitty business!
Not only did she have this idea, the owners of other snack bars on the street also looked at Lin Mai from the door of their house as if they were laughing.
Zhou Caiyun looked at the street, which had half as many people as during the day, and was worried: "Maizi, will anyone come to eat the barbecue at this place?"
"Yes, I'm afraid the supply will exceed demand." Lin Mai was full of confidence.
The cumin-roasted barbecue is so fragrant. In this era when food is not abundant, who can resist those foodies with money in their pockets?
Lin Mai put some meat skewers on the grill, grilled vegetable skewers on the grill, grilled eggplant on the iron plate, and placed steaming braised vegetables next to the two grills.
The aroma of braised food has already made passers-by salivate.
When Lin Mai sprinkled cumin and chili powder on the barbecue, the foodies passing by were unable to move forward and came over to ask her how to sell barbecue.
Lin Mai quoted the prices for all the barbecues.
In this day and age, beans, leeks, etc. only cost one or two cents a pound.
It can be skewered into skewers, and one skewer costs as much as a pound of vegetables.
Foodies are thinking to themselves, the price is a bit expensive, but it tastes really good!
Aunt Hu had shamelessly come over. When she heard Lin Mai's price, she swallowed her saliva and said, "It's just vegetables. Only a fool would buy it if it's so expensive!"
A group of foodies who couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food glared at Aunt Hu with angry eyes, and then paid for barbecue.
When Aunt Hu saw it, she muttered angrily: "There really is a fool who buys it and eats it."
One diner became furious: "You are the fool, and your whole family is fools!"
The scolding made Aunt Hu shrink back to the door of her shop in despair, and angrily watched Lin Mai doing business.
The barbecue smells so good, and I haven’t had it before.
Doudou stood beside Lin Mai, raising her little face and looking at her eagerly: "Mom, I want to eat."
Lin Mai looked at her sideways: "You ate a big bowl of dumplings for dinner. Have you digested it? You want to eat it again!"
Having said that, he still put three skewers of barbecued meat, a roasted eggplant, a few skewers of roasted beans, roasted potatoes and leeks on a plate for her.
In just a few moments, the store was already packed.
Zhou Caiyun moved a small bench for Doudou and asked her to sit in front of the store and eat.
Yangyang next door was so greedy that he almost cried. He was rolling on the ground and wanted to eat Lin Mai's barbecue.
Aunt Hu and Lin Mai are almost mortal enemies, so how can they go to her shop and spend money on barbecue?
He gave Yangyang a good beating and drove him back to his room to sleep.
Fang Zhuoran finally finished his work, got off work, and went straight to Linmai Snack Bar.
As soon as Doudou saw him, she ran towards him holding a meat skewer that she specially put for last.
He shouted excitedly: "Uncle, uncle, let's eat kebabs. The kebabs made by mom are delicious, and the grilled eggplant is also very fragrant!"
Fang Zhuoran picked up the little Loli and took a bite of the kebab from her hand.
The charred exterior and tender interior of the kebab are mixed with the spicy aroma of cumin and chili, and the taste is incredible.
Fang Zhuoran nodded repeatedly after eating: "Yeah~ delicious, so delicious!"
Then he looked at the little Lolita in his arms: "I'm wearing a new dress today, it looks so beautiful!"
Lin Mai said with Doudou's little finger: "Mom is also wearing a new skirt today. Is mom beautiful?"
Fang Zhuoran looked at Lin Mai and saw that she was wearing the dress he bought for her. He couldn't help but curl his lips: "Beautiful!"
Except for the black spots, the wheat looks really beautiful.
When Doudou heard this, she immediately circled her little hands into a trumpet and shouted to Lin Mai: "Mom, uncle praised you for being beautiful!"
Her voice attracted many people's attention.
Although Lin Mai has a well-proportioned figure and exquisite facial features, her beauty is obscured by her blackness. Few people think she is beautiful, and she is just pleasing to the eye.
Now if you take a closer look, this girl is really a potential stock. If she grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty.
Aunt Hu next door whispered in a sinister voice: "No wonder she changed into a new dress early in the morning. It turned out to be to seduce men!"
The sound was so low that Lin Mai didn't hear it at all.
She blushed at the sound of her daughter's voice and felt extremely embarrassed.
Fang Zhuoran walked up to her with little Loli in his arms and praised: "The kebabs are so delicious!"
Lin Mai tried his best to calm down: "There are more delicious ones."
Fang Zhuoran smiled and asked: "What is it?"
“Sizzling pig’s feet.”
Lin Mai asked Zhou Caiyun to bring four braised pig feet and fry them on the iron plate for her. The sizzling sound was particularly attractive.
Lin Mai saw Fang Zhuoran standing in front of him waiting, and said with a smile: "You haven't had dinner yet. Sister Caiyun left a large plate of steamed dumplings for you and asked her to serve it to you."
Doudou exposed her on the spot: "Didn't mom ask Aunt Yun to leave it for uncle?"
Lin Mai finally recovered his natural face, and his face turned red again. He pretended to be angry and said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute~"
Little Douding was laughing.
After Fang Zhuoran finished eating the dumplings, Lin Mai also roasted the pig's feet.
While the dishes were being loaded, a man came over, pointed at the plate full of sizzling pig's feet and said, "I want this plate."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Pig's feet are not for sale."
The man was anxious: "Why don't you sell it? Are you afraid that I can't afford it? I have money!" After that, he took out the money.
Fang Zhuoran hurriedly came over and said, "I bought it first." He took away the plate of pig's feet.
The man then gave up in frustration and ordered a lot of meat and vegetable skewers. Seeing that the grilled eggplant was fragrant and fragrant with garlic, he also ordered two.
He kept muttering in his mouth: "I don't want to buy more pig's feet to sell, those few pig's feet are enough to sell to anyone!"
Lin Mai said with an apologetic smile: "Pig's feet are hard to buy."
The man scratched his ears in annoyance: "Although I work at a meat joint, it's a pity that I'm in the poultry department. Otherwise, I could help you get pig feet, and you could roast them and sell them to me."
After hearing this, Lin Mai felt something in his heart: "What exactly does eldest brother do in the poultry department?"
