Chapter 168: BBQ is a big hit
I spoke too loudly to Shopkeeper Yang just now.
This is terrible. What if he is asked to deliver it?
If you give it as a gift, you will suffer a loss; if you don’t give it as a gift, you will offend the customer.
Jiang Eryong heard it, and Yang Wanli naturally heard it too.
He took out a piece of silver and placed it heavily on the table, about half an ounce of silver.
"Okay, there's no way I'll really let you send me off. There's no such thing as eating for free. No matter how the barbecue and cold noodles taste, I'll buy them."
Yang Wanli's words made Jiang Eryong feel relieved.
His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang. It's not that expensive. The meat skewers are five cents each, and the vegetarian ones are two cents each. You have six meat skewers and five vegetarian skewers, plus a bowl of cold noodles for ten cents, a total of fifty cents. Here, I'll give you your change."
Jiang Eryong loudly told the price of the new product.
Then he whispered in Yang Wanli's ear, "The extra two skewers of meat are given to you by me."
Yang Wanli smiled knowingly.
Nod slightly.
Then I picked a skewer of pork belly and took a bite.
The next second, he opened his eyes wide.
The meat was roasted crispy and fragrant. The originally fatty pork belly did not taste greasy at all. After a few bites, the fragrance lingered between the teeth.
Yang Wanli ate the whole string directly.
He chewed and chewed, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became.
It was so delicious I'm speechless.
Until you swallow the pork belly.
Then he praised loudly.
"It's delicious, really delicious! As expected of the Jiang Family Snack Shop, the ordinary pork belly is roasted so deliciously, it's really top-notch! Let me try this cold noodle."
Yang Wanli picked up the chopsticks.
I picked up a piece of cold noodles with chopsticks, and there were a few cucumber shreds on it.
There was a lot of soup on the cold noodles.
When I slurped it, the cool noodles danced in my mouth.
It's like a fish in the water, swimming freely.
"Mm, delicious. I have never eaten such strange noodles before. It tastes sour and sweet, a little salty and spicy. It tastes cool and delicious. It's really enjoyable."
I haven't swallowed the cold noodles in my mouth yet.
Yang Wanli began to praise.
This resulted in his speech being a little slurred, but the onlookers listened carefully and were able to understand what he was saying.
Yang Wanli held the barbecue skewers in his left hand and the cold noodles in his right hand.
A two-pronged approach.
A mixture of flavors mixed in his mouth.
Yang Wanli was immersed in a sea of delicious food.
He didn't even raise his head while eating.
Completely ignoring the sight of others.
Jiang Fubao's little head popped out from behind the curtain and she watched secretly.
This uncle is like a modern food blogger.
The food tastes so delicious when eaten with big mouthfuls.
Look.
Not only in the shop, but also outside the shop, there were many people drooling over his food.
Jiang Fubao knew.
I’m sure the barbecue and cold noodles in my shop will be sold out.
The barbecue is neither expensive nor cheap, after all, the vegetables and meats on the skewers are modern Southern versions.
Not like the big meat skewers in the north.
So affordable.
After one bite, my mouth was still filled with meat.
If a string of noodles costs only a dozen cents, I'm afraid that after eating their fill, customers will be so scared that they will faint when they pay the bill.
"Waiter, give me ten skewers of barbecue and a serving of cold noodles!"
"I want ten skewers of barbecue too. Forget the cold noodles. I just had meat patties and my stomach is full. I'll come back tomorrow to eat."
"I want 20 skewers, two servings of cold noodles, two meat patties, and two cups of mung bean soup. Take them all home and eat with my wife."
"..."
The new product sold out instantly.
A dozen people spoke at the same time.
Jiang Eryong and Jiang Dahao didn't know who to listen to first.
"Waiter, give each of us three ten skewers of barbecue and a bowl of cold noodles."
Kong Mingxue also quickly placed his order.
I’m afraid it’ll be too late and I won’t be able to eat it.
"Guests, please wait a moment. The skewers include pork belly, pork skewers, lamb skewers, and crispy bone skewers..."
"The vegetarian dishes include roasted leeks, roasted mushrooms, roasted eggplants, stinky dried tofu, roasted peppers..."
"Excuse me, which ones do you want? Come one by one, there are plenty, I guarantee everyone will have enough."
The wooden sign for the barbecue dishes is still being made and there is no time to hang it on the wall.
I can only introduce them one by one verbally.
Worried that they would fight over the food, Jiang Eryong reminded them to prepare enough dishes.
Then everyone lined up and stopped scrambling to order.
Jiang Siyin and Jiang Tongjin are in charge of the oven in the backyard.
Both of them were sweating profusely.
There is a piece of linen hanging around the neck to wipe sweat.
Jiang Fubao always felt that these two pieces of linen looked very familiar, like someone's foot washing cloth.
But she didn't say it.
Dad loves cleanliness the most. If he knew that the sweat cloth hanging around his neck was originally used for wiping feet, he would definitely not accept it.
Jiang Fubao is a good and filial child.
She would never tell Dad about this.
"Mom, it's a lot. Twenty skewers of pork belly, fifteen skewers of pork, eighteen skewers of mutton, eight skewers of steamed bread slices, six skewers of roasted spareribs..."
Jiang Eryong finished speaking in a hurry, and was afraid that his family would not remember, so he left the wooden board where the dishes were recorded.
The wooden board is about the size of a modern notebook.
Write and draw on it with charcoal, and it will come off with just the touch of a wipe.
No one in my family can read.
So the names of the dishes are all pictures.
For example, the lamb kebab is a lamb head, the pork kebab is a pig nose, and the pork belly is a palm with five clearly visible fingers.
This method was thought up by Zhang Jinlan.
Even Jiang Fubao had to praise Grandma for being so smart.
The menu is simple and clear, and everyone in the family can know what is written at a glance.
There were two wooden boards, one was placed in the backyard, where Jiang Siyin was holding the skewers, and the other was held in the front by Jiang Dahe to take orders.
There is no carbon in the oven.
They are all fruit trees brought from home.
There are many sour wild fruits in the mountains that cannot be eaten. The trees grow very fast. They can be cut down and used as firewood, and then roasted to produce a fruity aroma.
The fire of wood pieces is bigger than that of charcoal.
When grilling, if you don’t control the heat well or get distracted, the skewers will get burnt.
Jiang Siyin and Jiang Tongjin are obviously doing a good job.
There was a lot of smoke during the barbecue, and Qian Xile wanted to take a fan and fan the two of them, fearing that they would choke or get heatstroke.
But he was pulled aside by Jiang Fubao.
My sister-in-law's body shows that she is very likely pregnant.
Don't inhale a lot of fumes.
It's not good for her or the fetus.
Sun Pingmei took this position.
She held a palm-leaf fan in each hand.
She fanned hard, and when she got tired, Zhang Yanzi would take over.
With the availability of barbecue and cold noodles, fewer people bought meat patties.
However, the number of people buying mung bean soup has not decreased.
You will always feel thirsty after eating. The grilled skewers are high in salt, oil and seasonings, so your mouth will feel very dry after eating. The mung bean soup has not reduced in taste.
Sold even more.
It was almost noon and Jiang Fubao was a little hungry. She took a few mutton skewers from her father and ate them under a tree, enjoying the delicious food.
"Ouch--"
The next second, a falling peach hit her on the head.
Jiang Fubao shouted loudly.
Suddenly I felt dizzy and fell off the chair.
The kebab in his hand also fell to the ground.
